Five of These Negro Insurrectionary Associations In Leon County. The Organization Said to be National and of Northern Origin. Tallahassee, Fla., September 6?Since Saturday night's trouble it has been learned that there are Ave 4'Before Day Clubs" in Leon County. "While it is said these clube were organized la9t Christmas, there are a number of persons Who will (pake affidavit to the effect that they havfe been known in Leon County for the past three years. It is asserted here that about three years ago a negro appeared in Richmond, Va., (many averring that he came directly from Washington city,} who made an inoendiary speech, advising members of his race to all manner of mean things. He advised the organization of the "Before Day Club." This organization has become national in its character. The clubs in this county are located at Tallahassee, Lake Hall, Lake Jackson, Dawkius Pond and the Meridian neighborhood. Many of the best negroes of the cmuty have refused to become members | and are not in sympathy with such ar organization. It is (irmly believed here that Mr. Epps was a victim of this organization, and many of the people in this section are nervous and excited, but there are a number of men in Leon County, who are brave and determined and who are prepared to meet and settle this issue squarely. Life Insurance Promptly Paid. Mrs J. T. Sprouse, widow of Joe Thomas Sprouse, has received from the County Mutual Benellt Association of America the money due on the policy held by her husband for her beneflt. This is prompt payment and should recommend this Association to all who can avail themselves of its benefHs, by becoming members. Card of Thanks from J. G. Mobley. I am deeply grateful to my friends for the vote they have given me for railroad commissioner, which has placed me in the second race with a lead of over 2,000 votes. If elected on the 18th, I will prove my appreciation of their kindness and will endeavor to discharge the duties of the office and to merit the "well done" of all my fellow citizens. John G. Mobley. Second Primary Election, The second primary election will he held next Tuesday, September 18. The same managers will be retained to manage the second primary. We hope the people will go to the polls and vote, and not lose interest because some of their choice were nominated in the first primary. There are to be elected men to fill just as important offices as at the 'first primary. Read the artic.e in this issue of The Times entitled, "The American Citizen," and thereby learn the real duties of an American citizen. ?# - A Narrow Escape. Mr. George Wood was sitting on the end of a cross tie near the spot where his son was killed, and the engineer happoned to see him in time to slow down his engine to a speed which was just enough to knock Wood oil the track without injuring him. He certainly had a close call. Had it been a regular train running on scneauie time instead of the shifting engine which runs between Monarch Mills and the city, Wood would now be a corpse. Death at Pinckney. After a lingering illness of several months, the spirit of Mrs. Virgie Moss (nee Millwood) took its flight Saturday night, Sept. 8, 19t>4. Her sufferings were severe, but she bore it all with Christian fortitude. When asked how she felt, her reply always was, "I'm feeling.better." In September, 1902, she was happily married to Mr. Moss, of Union. One child blessed their home and it died the next day after its mother died and was plaoed in its mother's arms, where both now are enjoying the same happiness. She leaves behind a sorrowing husband who has the heart felt sympathy of the entire community. Father, mother, eight brothers and three sisters, besides a host of friends, are left to mourn her loss, but their loss is her eternal gain. The burial services were conducted by Rev. H. K. Ezell at Mt. Joy ohuroh, where she had been a mem ber for several years. Dear ones, grieve not, for her sufferings are over and she is enjoying the rest that remaineth to the people of QocL ifuuD. .... if BAILEY FUR 94 AND 95 IV UNIOr I > The Biggest line t city.

FANT OILl Horn Blowing. The blowing of iforns to assemble members of ihe different secret orders of this city is out of date. This practice has been characterized by some as a relic of barbaric nations, a practice of long ago when people had no other means of notifying those they wanted to come, when the hours of the day were told by the sun, aud of the night by the stars, he day of the week aud month by charcoal marks and notches on a stick. At this day and t ime all members of the several societies are presumed to know the day and hour of meeting and need not have the city alarmed by such harsh tooting of boms. Neighborhood Picnic. A regular good old time picnic was had last Wednesday at the George Barnett spring 4 miles north west of this city. The men prepared a pot of nice hash, from a tender beef, mixed with such vegetables as belong to this delicious dish. The ladles bak* edthe pork, fried the chicken, cooked the bread, pies and cakes in great abundance. The spread was beneuth the grand old oaks which surround tins notea spring, xnis community is a very congenial one, and when they get together, pleasure and good feeling prevail, and something good to eat is certain to be provided.

The city of Union as the population increases the loafers and vagrants increase. The city fathers have it in their power under the law to apprehend every one who is able to do work, found loafing about the town. When a person is taken up and brought before the mayor or council charged with vagrancy, it is the duty of the mayor or council to question the person so accused as to his means of support and his daily occupation, whether he works one day in the week or every day. whether he is nermu. i nently employed or does odd jobs, if odd jobs'bow much of bis time is thus taken up. To get rid of vagrants and loafers is to get rid of a bad set, sometimes tbieves, and otber law breakers. No town or city in tbe State allows loafers or vagrants to remain long in tbe corporate limits without knowing their business and bow they make a living. Union is full of them. They won't work for any one at any price, and no one blames them when they live without it. But in justice to those who do work and try to make an honest living, the vagrants ought to be compelled to work. Those who don't work must of necessity live upon the labor of those who do, otherwise they would perish. There is work fbr all who will, and those who don't should be made to work. Letter to T.
