Jadge Ira B. Jones, candidate for governor, spoke tonight at Glendale to one of of the largest crowds that has ever greeted a candidate at that place. He ad vocated the enactment of a law that would make it unnecessary for employes in tIe mills injur ed in the discharge of their du ties to appeal to the courts for damages. The crowd was at tentive and impressed by the judge's appeal. He will contin ue his canvass of the .ounty for several days more. Froin the Land of Flowers. Mr. Editor: lhave just completed a 350 1 inife business trip in Florida, I entering the State at Jackson- I ville and following the Fast < coast to Sanfodif and to the < Western coast to Tampa which is on a Bay of the Gulf of Mexico. i Then up the Western coast parallel with the Gulf of Mexico stopping at different towns, t among theni Tallahassee. the . capital of the, State. which is an t old town. 6.000 Population, no s modern improvenents and not i even a daily paper, but it has a i semi-weekly. I suppose it is the , only State Capitol in the Union r but what has a daily paper. Florida is shaped like a boot, the leg of the boot pointing b down towards the Gulf of Mexi- i co on the South and West, and r bounded on the East by the At- v lantic Ocean, and the foot of a the boot adjoining Georgia and a Ala'ama. Florida is a sand -d, with the exception of two - or three counties that I saw. Land very poor. flat as a pan cake. with numerous lakes and a ponds; soil so poor the roadsr wont fork, so poor it can't be rneasured, a needle won't turn in the compass. (Hyperbolical Iy speaking.) There are some few sections of the State that are hammock or "muck" land a as they call it, which is a dark soil. A Northiern tourist asked an old negro how they' made a living on this poor land, The darkie's answer was "'I tells f you boss we skins allegaters in the summer and tourists in the winter" They raise oranges. tanger- ~ ines, melons, cabbage, lettuce. I celery, grape ~fruit. bananas, L straw berries, and pineapples, also corn and peaduts. Corn ist eten in the spring of the year by the weevil. Salamanders bore in the ground and throw , up little beds of dirt as large as a man's hat. Jacksonville is the chief city of Floxida, population about T5,000, situated on St. Johns River. Steamers come in from New York, Philadelphia, etc. Florida is the plav ground for! America. The towns on the Eastern coast and the Gulf of f R Sexico are full of fine hotels and bording houses.

Tanner Writes From an interesting article by dr. Geo. C. Tanner, ex-United ;tates consul, to the Augusta hronicle, the following is tak ,n: In a previous communication called the attention of the peo ile of the South to the fact that he South had paid her pro rata f the enormous pensions, th-at hese self-sty led heroes had held p this government and made it and out to them. Since that time the South -has pened her eyes to this odious ifamy, and there has been )me movement by our congres ien to do something to stop the satiate greed of these pension, ogs. If Southern congressman had >ught these things witb the ine vigor they fight for some litical advantage, it is to be oubted if the pension roll would ggregate the enormous aftount iat astounds the civilised world he $4,000,000,0% would naore ian buy the entire outh, it -ould purchase half the land in 1e United States, and there ems to be no let up in the de ands of these pension hogs. uccess in the past has made iem bold, and every year since ie war, this organization has riblushingly come forwasd ith fresb dernands. Northern men have come out condemnatiorr, and I am hap F to say that the little ball I arted to rolling in 1907 has at st become an important move ent that may result in good. I sincerely trust that the peo e will keep up this fight, and nd men to the national con cess who will try to relieve iem of this onerous and shame il burden, and that they wi'l > more, they can boycott ever thing on which duty is paid, Id patronize home industries, Id inl this way the Northern ople will be compelled to join Sthis fight and do an ay with ie whole system of robbery. Since the dawn of time there as never been a more odious, ideous and dastardly outrage arpet:ated upon a people than taking the South pay her part , he rif-raf of the world to de Oi her. It is a orse than re mstruction, because that was ithin our power to remedy, ad the K. K. K's did that; but 1s is imposing an infamy from 'neration to generation, and iere will never be an end to it. he South must call up every 1ergy to its full height, and the orth will then see to it that l thing is abolished. The example of " 'the' grand rm ''"is one of the greatest ils that could have befallen us nation. A mutiny is when T army revolts against author y and does its work quickly. he attitude of the grand army >ward this nation is worse than iat, it is a blood-sucking opera. on that saps the very vitals of i nation.

H. Thomas, well known to many of the older citizeins of Walhalla and Oconee county, died at the home of his son, Paul B. Thomas, at Toccoa, Ga., on the 6th of March, and was buried at Shiloh church cemetery 6n thi March 7th. Mr. Thomas was born at Old Pickens Court House, this State, on January 6th, 1842, and wa a gallant soldier in the ranks of the Qonfederacy, serv ing throughout the war. He enlisted in Orr's Regiment at Old Pickens, with which he served until 1863, when he was transferred to the Twelfth Regi ment, and was serving with that gallant band of soldiers at the close of war, being among those at the surrender of Lee's forces at Appomattox. It was not our pleasure to have known tbs old gentlemen, but his com rades speak of him in the high est terms, both as a man and a soldier. There are many who t will learn with deep regret of c i$sassing away. He was best I lnow by bis close friends as A ''MacV" 9homas, and there are thes, probably, who would not reo ize the initials "W.
