THE ELECTION IN NOVEMBER

Voters should not loose sight of tho factthat there will be no election In Floridauntil November 8th tho constitutionalamendment changing tho State electionsfrom October November having beenadopted at tho last election and now thovote for county and State officers andCongressmen will be cast the some day

Another thing should bo rememberedand that Is at tho coming election thrcoconstitutional amendments passed by the

elast legislature aro to bo voted upon thefirst accepting guarantee or surety com-panies

TILE TERMS OF PEACE

Tho terms on which tho United States-

are willing to ceaso hostilities againstSpain are officially stated to bo as fol ¬

lows1 Tho Independence of Cuba and tho

adjacent Islands held by Spain2 The cession of Portorlco to the Unit ¬

ed States3 A coaling station and ono city In tho

Philippine Islands to be under the con ¬

trol of this governmentTheso terms cannot bo considered hard-

on Spain Is view of our complete victories-by land and sea Unquestionably wocould have enforced harder conditions-but those which are proposed we thinkaro about the best for tho honor and realinterest of our government

The Independenco Cuba wo supposecontemplates the absolution of tho islandfrom all tho obligations for which Spainhas pledged Cuba as security The amount-of these obligations Is estimated various-ly at from f3OO000X1O tofSOOOOOOOO Spainwill have to attetd to them as best she

canThocession of Porto Rico Is to be mado

In lieu of a money indemnity for tho waras Is also tho cession of a coaling stationand one city In tho Philippines Manila-of course

This Is also a happy solution PortoRico Is very Important to uso as a strate-gic

¬

point It Is also an Island of largeproductiveness now and of Immense pos ¬

slbllltles under our controlBy securing a coaling station and a city

in tho Philippines we gain great advant ¬

ages In the Pacific and yet avoid thodangers of complications In eastern diplo-

macyI Wo will gain a larger part of thotrade of those Islands than over and willhave a station for our navy that will ho-

of great value to us Tho future of CubaIs left an open question by the terms pro ¬

posed We are pledged to tho establish-ment and maintenance of a stable gov ¬

ernment If Cuba cannot bring aboutthat result for herself we will have toaccomplish It for her At any rate It Isprnctlcully certain that Cuba will soon becontrolled by Americans whether we take-It or not

Will Spain accept the conditions whichhave been offered

If there Is a remnant of prudence andcommon senso left In her statesmanshipsho surely will The struggle Is for hermore hopeless than over and tho longersire continues It the harder terms she willhave to come to

Wo believe that Spain will accept whatwo Ross otter Instead of waiting for the

I certainty of worse things for her In thoearly future

FLORIDAS SUPREMACY

Florida Is wonderful State It washurt for a time by tho freeze but Its va-

rious resources are bringing a wide rangeof development that In time will provo Itsseeming loss to have been a blessing Indisguise

Florida land will produce 200 bushels ofsweet potatoes worth say2tcents per

Ibushel or WO per acre or 25 barrels ofwhite potatoes worth f1 per barrel Wiry I

poor men will try to dig a living out offl00 land Is most surprising They could I

own a homo In Florida and In a fow years j

tiring It up In valuo to that of the highestpriced land In any other locality I

Como South young man Dont WP It I

Remember that land Is advancing val-

ue¬

and that other people are finding outthe truth Lingering means a lost op-

portunityComo South old man Got out of tho

old deathdealing winter climate theNorthern States that kills old people be-

cause It keeps them housed up Buy asmall piece of lands build a simple littlehouse with open fireplaces to dry It outIn damp weather plant a big garden andall the fruit trees you can and raise pigscows and all kinds of fowls

Then you will live happily comfortably-and with a minimum of labor lu a clim-

ate¬

which Is delightfully pleasant andwonderfully healthful
