William Randolph Hearst has boujjilf., Or Is about to buy a bid slice of the Everglades drained lands down bere in Florida Perhaps he wants a place to which he can retreat and get away "from the madding crowd" tbe next time his political aspi rations get a backset. The Lake City Index sticks to its assertion ot some time ago tbit Broward will not be in the race for the United Sstates Ben ate. Tom Appleyard bad to hed"-e a little bit when he made the prediction some months ago, but tie now repeats It and furth er asserts that Broward will be a candidate for the governor, ship when the time for that campaign aeain rolls around. On the other hand Broward says emphatically that he is a candi date for tbe Senate, and there you are. A Board of Trade is a business organiz ition governed by rules and laws under which it has to transact its business. To trans act business a certain number of the members composing the organization must be present at the meeting when such business is to be transacted. It will not do for a member to say "it is not necessary for me to attend the meeting to-night; there will he enough of the members present o attend to the business." If enough of the members think in that way there is dead sure to be nothing done. We have iu mind a recent meeting of the Board at which important bust ness was considered and some of the things demanded, itnmedi ate attention, yet because a quorum was lacking and only one member was needed to make the quorum the matters bad to pass over for future action. The Board ot Trade is a g:od thing, but it is only as good as tbe members make it. Remember that, i.nd when a meeting is held do your duty to tbe organisa tion, to yourself and to the com munity, and be present. Bob Gray of the Havana News has political aspirations, i t seems, and bis name has been coupled with one of tbe desks apportioned to Gadsden county in the House of Representatives Gray is a tine young man, sturdy and reliable, and if the voters of Gadsden see fit to put him in the House they will find him well fitted to the job. The advice givn by IIora:e Greeley some years ago to "go west, young man, go west," has become obsolete and now it is that everybody is saying "go South, young man, go South." And they are headed this way in great bunches, too. The pro gress of the South during the past few years is little short of marvelous, but when you come to think ot the marvelous resour ces of 'this wonderful section it is not surprising after a'l, the only wonder being that the peo ple of the world have not dis covered it saoner. Florida is getting a good share of the peo ple and capital from the North, East and West and we are going to get more. What we want to see is some of the people and money turned in the direction ot Madison county. We are sleep ing over our rights people, when we fail to let the world kniw what we have to offer. Wake up, everybody and let's get busy. Alachua county bad its first and only legal hanging of a white man last Friday when R LI. Owen was banged for the murder ot R. L.

Now we haven't beard the man himself say this, but it is common rumor that tbe statement is approximately cor rect, and we have heard of sev eral amities who would move to town if houses could be se cured.
