Mathis: In the whole state of Florida
there baa been eleven deaths from yel

in Tamp, with 8,000. there has been

It* Action a* to the University Chancellor
■hip.
The report of proceedings of the Agri-
cultusl Society, which we reproduced
from an exchange was incorrect in stat
ing that Dr. White was recommended for
the University Chancellorship “by a
small vote.” The vote was unanimous
and resolutions were adopted by the con
vention instructing the four trustees elec
ted by the Agricultural Society to vote
for Dr. White should his name be pre
sented at th** meeting of the Board in
October. The correction which we now
make was made in the Constitution sever
al days ago; but from some oversight we
failed to make it until now.
Oar Motto.
A great many of our exchanges have
sorrespondets (?) in Europe who tell of
their ups and downs across the waters.
The Banner-Watchman has no Euro

about what is done in that section. We

Candidate* a* Debt Payer*.
There is one important test which, as
far as memory serves, we have never
known "applied to candidates, viz:
Frompt payment of debts. Does he pay
his debts? But. as some men would pay
who honestly arc unable to do so, the test
may be expressed somewhat differently,
lias the candidate the reputation of be-
inj; a good paymaster, or, if from mis
fortune or mistreatment by other men,
ho is unable to pay, does lie give suffi
cient proof of a willingness and purpose
to nay, and that as soon as ho can hon
estly do so? A man who will evade,
dodge, refuse or decline to pay just
debts should not l*o se nt to the logida-
ti re or congress, or put in any office of
honor or trust, high or low. In sifting
candidates it would not l*o out of place
for voters to inquire: Does he pay his
debts? Does ho try to pay?—Columbia

Women Who Wilt Worth
A recent writer b exceedingly out of
tune because German Women tv ill work.
He sees the farms bought up and the
American stock bought out, because the
American woman will not do garden and
field work. Walter Besant insists that do
woman should be compelled to work at
all. It b a shame, he 6ays, tliat “any
lady should ever have to stand in tho
labor market for hire like a milkmaid at
a statue fair.” He likes tho French
dan, where, as soon as a daughter ii
x>m, they commence to accumulate her
dowry. But tho women themselves aro
inclined to settle that question in thu
country by assuming absolute equality.

matters more secure and healthy mothers

Tho russet leather Bhoe b frankly con
fessed by a certain literary and common

lies in tho fact tliat it does not need to
be blackened or dusted. Ifcb tho expe

to he polished about as often as a cleanly

tliat it has become greatly cheapened,

“ l take pleasure In recommen ling Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, lor it has done wot icrs for me.
I had salt rheum very severely, affecting mo
over nearly my entire body. Only those who
have suffered from this disease hi its worst
form can imagine tho extent of n v affliction.
I tried many medicines, hut failed to reecivo
benefit until 1 took Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
Then the discaso began to subside, tho
Agonizing Itch and Pain
disappeared, and now I am entirc.y free trimi
the disease. *Iy blood seems -o he thor
oughly purified, aud .my goner; \ health is
greatly benefited.” Lyman Al. en, Sexton
N- E. Church, North ChIcago,4)l.
“ My son had salt rheum on id * hands amt
the calves of his legs, so bad Uiat they would
cracl: ©pet* and bleed. He took flood’s Sar-
saparillaltnd is entirely cured.” J. D. Stan,
ton, Alt. Vernon, Ohio.
