BEFORE-DAY CLUBS IN FLORIDA.
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.

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 chief attraction of the afternoon
was the ball game, Buffalo vs.
West Springs, resulting in a victory
for Buffalo by a score of 10 to 8. " ,

Vagrants.
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.
