Two Confederate monuments have been erected here, and a mono* meat may be dedicated to the Women t>f the Confederacy during the coming reunion. This brief exposition of the work that Florida Is doing for the ex-Confederate soldiers, living and dead, is proof that the people of the state will extend a warm and generous welcome to the old soldiers and their friends on the occasion of the Jacksonville reunion Florida, while situated far South of the great theater of war of lWl-'65, felt the shock of the conflict Jacksonville was occupied four different times by the federals. The purposes of this occupancy, acoording to official reports on tie in archives of the War Department were to keep the St Johns river open from its mouth to the head of navigation and to arm the negroes for service in the Union Army. The small Confederate force in East Florida in 1853 was commanded by Gen. Joseph Flnegan. On March 13, 1863, Gen. Flnegan Issued a proclamation here in which he said: i "I feel it my duty as brlgadier-geiv eral commanding this district to inform the people of the district and of the state that our unscrupulous enemy has landed a large force of negroes, under command of white officers, at Jacksonville, under cover of gunboats. He is attempting to fortify the place 1 so as to make it secure against attacks. The purpose of this movement 1 is obvious and need not be mentioned In direct terms. It is sufficient to inspire the whole body of people with a < renewed and sterner purpose of resist nee. I therefore call on such of the citizens as can possibly leave their homes to arm and organize themselves Into companies without delay and r? port to me." Gen. R. Saxton (U. S. A.) in a report to the War Department dated March 14. 1863, says: "The object of this expedition was to occupy Jacksonville and make it the base of operations for the arming of negroes and securing in this way possession of the ntire State of Florida." "BUND TIGERS, GAMBLERS, AC." Only People Sorry Charleston Lost Encampment, Says Blease. Spartanburg, April 23:?Governor j Blease made a red-hot speech to an audience of 2,000 on the court house lawn tonight. He denounced Secretary Garrison as "a little pug-nosed Yankee," and declared he would never communicate with him again until Mr Garrison admitted he had treated him discourteously. The finvprnnr also naid his resDects to Secretary Daniels saying he had proved him a liar. Mr Blease denied strongly, however, that he was fighting the National Administration at Washington. The Governor explained his libel action against Editor Moore, of the [Columbia Record, and called him names which it might be libelous to publish. William E Gonzales,United States minister to Cuba, formerly editor of the Columbia State, and other prominent newspaper men | also came in for scathing denuncia tions. The crowd begged Governor Blease to name his choice for his successor. The Governor declined to do so, but appealed to his hearers to elect a Bleaseite. So far as issues were concerned, Mr Blease paid especial attention to the proposed medical inspection of school children, compulsory education and the movement to restrict the use of the ballot in primary elections. He strongly opposed all three proposals. He advocated the Fortner bill to keep white teachers out of negro schools. The crowd vigorously cheered the Governor. Governor Blease addressed an audience of four or five hundred farmers on the court house lawn this afternoon. He told his friends to be sure to 8ttend the Democratic precinct club meetings, so as to thwart the effort of the Governor's enemies to restrict the use of the ballot in the Democratic primary this summer. Speaking of the action of Secretary Garrison in taking away from South Carolina the military encampment which was to have been held at the Isle of Palms, Governor Blease said Mr Garrison had treated him discourteously and never had replied to his letter he had written the Secretary. Governor Blease said the only people who were sorry that the Isle of Palms was not going to get the encampment were "blind tigers," gamblers and keepers of dives. He said the encampment would not be anything but "a grand drunk" anyway, and the best people of Charleston didn't want it. The Governor said he was proud of his pardon record and had about 120 more prisoners to turn loose, in addition to more than 1,200 he had already released. This was cheered by the crowd.

"I suffered with rheumatism for two years and could not get my right hand to my mouth for that length of time," writes Lee L Chapman, Mapleton, Iowa. "I suffered terrible pain so I could not sleep or lie still at night. Five years ago I began using Chamberlain's Liniment and in two months I was well and have not suffered with rheumatism since." An exchange says the tango is strictly a Caucasin function. Is this a boast or a confession? A Boston statistician has figured that woman's value is twice that of of man, and it might be added that she usually draws interest on the full assessment. i tell by the i [A On the front of ererr carton and on the ?3 fS label of irnj bottle of the GENUINE VA *' rzi DR.
