SURPRISES IN GOVERNOR'S RACE? i Movement to Have Rieliards Enter Lists?Avows Intention to Run for Railroad Commissioner. v Columbia, Feb. 27.?That there is a "well defined movement on foot to have Capt. John G. Richards make the ; race for governor this year is evident from the talk which has been heard, and which persists, in spite of the announcement of Capt Richards that he 4 is going to make the race for railroad commissioner, the position he now 1, t kolds. Major Richards is not taking , any part in this matter, and stated this i * . morning in response to an inquiry that he had not changed his mind, and that he had settled the matter by his announcement regarding the governorship some time ago. The talk, however, comes from friend9 who irant to see Major Richards in the race. Some days ago there were plans on < toot, so it is stated, to hold a conven Jv> lion, and it is stated that it was to j; iKive been held in March, to nominate | ; Major Richards. It will be remember- \, *4. that Tillman in 1890 was nominated ; i * * Jrfr governor by a March convention, although this may not have had any- i Ifcing to do with the plans which were Btid to have been on foot; still it may l*ve been thought that such a conveni -a ~ imnroBfiinn WU WVUJ.U V/l CL 6jvvu ad be "good luck." Of course, this nclueion has to be drawn largely by ' I armise. i: Idea Jfot Abandoned. : jfr Th* idea, evidently, among th? supBarters of Major Richards, those want-!1 aasr him to enter the gubernatorial | i race, was that the demand would be 1 & strong that he would not be able to resist it That, more than likely, "was the reason why the March con-! yention was thought of. However, it {: is' said these plans, at least those for i < 1 fco \faroh convention- have been tern porarily abandoned, but the idea of getting Major Richards in the race has t been abandoned, so it has been v reported on what is considered relia- I ble authority. t+ ie rir? ?<xr>rpt that "had Judee Jones i t announced for governor, Major Richards would have been in the race, aid some of his friends have Qot yet reconciled themselves to his not runmil All of which is very interesti*g, and some indication of the statet often heard these days. "There uill be several more candidates in the race for governor." Judge Jones Active. Judge Ira B. Jones is in the race to tte finish and is making an active ampaign. He went to work the day j J iis resignation as chief justice took i ffect His headquarters here are in tie Berkeley Flats with Mr. J. William Thurmond, of Edgefield, his campaign manager in charge. It has been ^ nerally understood that opponents \ f the present administration would ?mite their influence towards electing , Jwdge Jones and keep other candidates out of the field. A general im? yression to this effect is at road over tke State. v Governor Cole. L. Blease is going | k* u zion/iidato fn "himself I 1 a*d ie confident of again being elected. Hie friends are busy in all parts of ' *tl*e State and all agree that he is a 1 strong campaigner. In fact, he is < ^ needed to be one of the best stump speakers in the State and he is going ' before the people and defend his rec% ?rad and ask them to endorse it by 1 reelecting him to the office which he j i ow holds. 11 i May be Some Snrprises. The entrance of Major Richards, or < anyone else, would complicate matters ;1 a*d make the outcome more uncertain. 1 1* has been thought that the field ;1 would be left to Judge Jones and Gov- i ?rnor Blease and that the situation j; would be fought out by these two, but j1 ~ tkere may be a surprise by the en- \ < . trance of others. It is still a good. wh:.le until the campaign opens and : . manr changes can take place. The present legislative session by ' feeing prolonged is something unusual, j. and it will not be a surprise to poli- i < I tical observers to see surprises in the i1 gubernatorial situation before the;1 lection in August. j ] WATSON DECLARES j, HIS CANDIDACY |; V Fresent Commissioner of Agriculture \ i AuBOunees That He Will Bsb For Re-electiofl to Office. i { Columbia, Feb. 26.?"Why of course, j 1 I am to stand for election in the pri-!< mary," is the statement contained in !' the announcement by E J.

His statement is as follows: "Why, of course, I am going to stand for election in the primary, i Nothing will give me greater pleasure than to go before the people of my beloved State.

General Offices at Lire Oak, Fla. The Live Oak, Perry & Gulf railroad, popularly known as the "Suwannee River Route," traverses one of the richest, most productive and heal-! thiest sections of Florida, starting at Live Oak and continuing westerly throueh Dowlins: Park, Perry and i Hampton Springs, to a point near the Gulf of Mexico, with a branch to Alton. Live Oak is one of the best little business cities in Florida, with a population of about 5,000, is 70 miles west of Jacksonville and about 25 miles south of the Georgia State Una, is a junction point for the Seaboard Air Line, the Atlantic Coast Line, the Liv? Oak, Perry & Gulf and th# Florida railway and is the county seat for Suwannee county. Th* affirm of Florida served by th# Lire Oak, Perry ? Gulf railroad is the heaviest timbered sectioa of the j State, and lumbering and allied industries are being developed in a big way in the several rapidly growing towns along its line. This means unusually good openings for all classes. These heavily timbered lands are also, naturally, the richest agricultural lands and it is these lands that the railroad desires to settle with good | hardworking progressive peopl* as! fast as the lands are released by the! operations of the big lumber milling j companies. Suwannee county, lying as ir. dcos between the Atlantic ocean and theGulf of Mexico, with the never failing cool summer breezes from east to west, has a climate as cool in summer* as in the north and yet ideally perfect in winter, and with ample fall for drainage and an abundance of pure drinking water, Suwannee county is an especially healthy spot. A rainfall of over 50 inches per annum makes crops as certain as possible. For the purpose of encouraging set-1 tiers to immediately occupy and cultivate all the unoccupied lands in Suwannee county and thereby materially increasing the tonnage and earnings of our railroad, we have succeeded in inducing the several big lumbelf companies on our line, who are owners of large tracts of agricultural and timber land, to let us have 25,000 acres of the best agricultural lands in Suwannee county, to be put on the market to actual settlers. We absolutely exclude speculators who wish to buy more than 320 acres, while to the actual settlers we offer land prac tically regardless of prices or terms. In fact, on ridiculously easy conditions to reliable people, we will furnish from 40 to 160 acres absolutely free of one dollar's cost, on a plan much easier than land ever could have been obtained even under the government homestead law. And, it will be remembered that millions of acres that were first acquired from the government without cost are now worth from $50.00 to $200.00 per acre. The owners of these Suwannee county lands have consented to our opening them for immediate settlement on our hertofore unheard of liberal terms and conditions, only because they know such settlement will greatly enhance the value of the quarter of a million acres they have yet to put on the market S Just imagine?tnest lands are located right along our line of railroad; some adjoining townsites, some nol far from our local metropolis, Live Oak, and none of them more than four miles from railway service; close fo good schools, churches, markats, neighbors and only about throe hour's ride to the great city of "Jackson/illo with its seaport markets to tne woria. These are the best lands in the State of Florida for the raising of C'jrn, j cane, long staple cotton, upland rice, all kinds of hay and fodder, cowpeas, velvet beans, cassava, peanuts, potatoes (both sweet and Irish) vegetaI bles of all kinds., fruits, nuts, cattle,! hogs, mules and horses; while the j conditions for poultry raising, bee j keeping and dairying are ideal. Wei hope within another two years to see Suwannee county well settled and all under cultivation?a veritable garden spot?and lands selling at $100.00 per j acres and upwards. But, for the present, our railroad needs more settlers and more tonnage; therefore, prices and terms on these lands are no object. In short, if you can convince us that you are capable of farming from 40 to 320 acres and that you could, if. necessary, come to 'Florida with a1 cash working capital of $500.00 or over, preferable $1000.00 or more, you ! i can on the easiest conditions imaginable secure through us, without one doilar's cost a farm of from 40 to 160 acres under warranty deed to farm, hold, sell or do with as you wish. If interested, we would be glad to tell you all about this country, our plans, the opportunities here for money making, and especially the condi* * 1 r\ r* r\f UUI15 UJ WUHJU vuu lLiaj ua.?c: v/i these farms free cf cost.
