Tlio season this year lasted just week with tho a i of the growers, and five years ago it was uo common i for tho shipping season to extend over three or four weeks. Tho business has boon gone into on a larger or smaller scalo by a of peninsula growers, and it is said that the "big fellows" who givo i whole attention and effort to growing aro the only cues who stand nny cliancc now to make money out of strawberries or to boar reverses sucli as hist year and this have brought.

Our genial Postmaster is always optimistic about a i a tights among Democrats. Mr.

Hobbs, who ma3' bo tho caudi- dato for Comptroller, is not quite so enthusiastic as his colleague. Ho said that report had it that somo i Democrats will voto against tho Poo amendment, ami that a fow Rapublicins will voto for it.

JACKSON FAVORS AMENDMENT Srn.itiirliil i i i i i In Caroline NdtfH A local correspondent of the ftulti- inorc takes tliis view of tho political i a i in Caroline county "Tho Democratic nomination for the Sonato i i Caiolino county is being actively to by no less thiin four candidates. Theso aro Dr.

William Winder Goldsborough, of Groonsboro, a member of tho House of Delegates of 1902 Henry II. Lowis, of who was tho floor lender of House at tho session of Albert W. Sisk, of Preston, also a former legislator, and Edward E. Goslin, of Fcdcralsburg, chairman of tho committee on ways and means in tho last House. The contest is marked with tho best of feeling, and all of tho candidates aro in touch with, tho party Mr.

Sisk being a member of tho State Central Committee. The candidates have also been warm friends in the past of John Walter Smith, and if tho ex-Governor is a candidate for the United States Senate two years from now he will probably not have much trouble in getting warm support from Caroline. Tho county primaries nre not likely to bo held for several weeks, and no fight is expected at them. Each of tho senatorial candidates will come up with his district, and their aspirations will be left to tho nominating convention to settle. Mr.

Sisk was tho nominee four years ngo, and was defeated by Senator Harry A. Roe by a very small majority, while tho rest of tho Democratic ticket was elected. The Republicans this year appear to be doubtful about i a i in Caroline, and unless the conditions chfingo a great deal do not expect to have any show whatever of electing any of their candidates, even if they a a ticket for tho purpose of keeping up their organization. Mr. Roe, undoubtedly tho strongest Republican in tho county, has declared that ho wi'l not bo candidate for re-election, aud has accepted tho appointment of minority member of the school board from Governor War- Uuld." (iOV.

I I Ex Governor Jackson will start for Europe Juno 27th. Ho said in an interview a fow days ago that ho was candidate for no office. "Does this mean your absolute withdrawal from politics "Not at all. I am a Democrat and am in torosted and will always bo interested in the Democratic party, but I do not expect to seek office and do not want it. Down in my section of tho I am always glad to act as advisor.

I am independent aud do as I please, and any man can learn whore I stand on any and every question. All that I ask is for good men to, be put up for office, and I advocate a square deal all tho i and a fair count. I do not indorse trickery in tho ballot. I believe the independent form of government is tho best form, and I reserve tho right not to vote for a Democratic candidate if I consider him i to fill tho office to which ho aspires." "Can you, bo ranked with independents in politics?" "I can to tho extent I am a Democrat through circumstances, nnd support the Democratic ticket when it is a good one, but not when it docs not measure up to the standard. Nationally thoro aro things nbout tho Republican party that I like, but in State elections the negro issue must ho considered, and on this I am a Democrat to tho backbone.

I do not i tbo negro should be allowed the i of franchise, aud I this in all kindness to him. It is best for i host for his neighbors, nnd best for society at largo that ho should not vote." "What about tho Poo amendment? Do you indorse in and will you support it "I am going to Europe ongJuno 27 to remain until tho oud of October, and will not bo nt homo to tuko part in the campaign, but I expect to voto for tho a It would, perhaps, have boon bettor if tho Worth- iugton amendment, if constitutional, had been placed before tho people, but it is no uso to talk about a now. 1 am going to vote for tho a because, as I have said, I am conscientiously opposed to tho negro having tho right of franchise. Should tho measuro bo carried, it does not, in my opinion, indicate a Democratic party in i Stato will bo in perpetual power.

June 7, AVanlilngton Notei. A Washington correspoudentseoms to i tho President ha-s weakened and has backed down beforo the "stnnd-pntteis." Ho has agreed not to call Congress in special session until after tho fall election. Tho President's selection of Charles J. Bouapurto is proving au oven greater shock to tho Republican politicians than was nt first anticipated. Mr.

Bonaparto is a confirmed reformer, too old to change his ways aud absolutely intolerant of the mothods whuroby so many Republican politicians attain success. Ha is a determined enemy of tho spoils system and tho Republican politician who conies to seek his i in behalf of this, that or the other contractor who has "always voted straight and contributed generously to tho Republican campaign fund" will lind little comfort in a rigid Bonaparte. SUNDAt.SDHOOL. LESSON TOMORROW 1. Tin- nf tint lllnen Ifi.ao lilt Croat Ing "II A Joslis ntoso from tho dead Ho was forty days nn earth, or about six weeks, aud then ascended to Heaven.

The disciplos wero left but God His spirit to lead and guide Our lesson today tells nbout somo of tho wonderful things which tho Spirit led John, tho beloved doseiple, toseo nnd do. John was nearly 100 years old when tho Roman Emperor banished him to a lonely barren island. Ho was sont there because ho faithfully preached Jesus. This should teach us all to do our for Christ, oven if it should bring persecution upon us, John was ready to givo his for Jesus, and when ho was left alono on this lonely island Jesus appeared to him 04 years after Ho (Jesus) had ascended. So Jesus is still alive and is among His people to-day.

John wroto tho Revelation iu Greek in banishment on i Patmos, whore it is supposed ho worked in the mines with exiled criminals. Ono tradition says that John was first sont to Rome and there thrown into a cauldron of boiling oil; but tho Lord preserved him as Ho did the threo Hebrew children of old. Ho was then banished to this secluded island. After tho emperor's death John was allowed to return to Ephesus, whore ho died. Somo claim that John wroto tho Revelation, vision by vision as they appeared to him on tho island, and others claim that tho book was writ- ton after his return to Ephesus.

Verses prophecies and revelations found in the book (Revelations) from which our lesson is taken have had various interpretations. It is true that many things in this book are shrouded in mystery but still we find some of tho simplest" teachings concerning the blessings, privileges, duties and results of the Christian life written in the book of Revelations. So then let ns make use of that which wo know and trust God to reveal that which is now dark to us. Tho words, "in the spirit" (verso 10,) mean "in a trance," as recorded in Acts 10. "The Lord's day" means tho first day of tho week, tho day Christ arose from the dead--or Sunday, the Christian Sabbath.

May tho Holy Spirit not only guide us on the Lord's day, but through tho entire week. Verses this part of the lesson we have a vision of the glorified Redeemer. His humanity resents tho "Son of Man" and His garb that of a king and priest, He being our spiritual king and priest. Tho seven churches of Asia represent nil tho churches of God, tho candlesticks being the churches. (See verse 20.

The true Christian is a lump or light in the Church of God and gives light to all about him with the oil of divine grace in his heart. Are you such a light? In place John tells us that one day true Christians will bo like Christ and see Him as Ho is. We will then longer have the aches and pains now have, but our bodies will be made like His most glorious body. Thus we see that Christians have great blessings promised after they leave this world. Just aa Jesus was in the midst of the candlesticks, so Ho is always present in His Church nnd will protect His ministers, the stars in verse 1C being a symbol of His care of the Christian Church and its pastors.

A star servos tho satnB purpose as a lamp, but it is supposed, to shine more brightly over a wider' range and with moro regularity. So tho pastor of tho church in the relation to the members of the congregation. By God's right hand in verse 10 wo note the regard with which God considers His faithful ministers. Tho sword represents tho Word of God (Hob. iv, 12.) Christ is the Sun of Righteousness, and like a i ural sun shines in His full strength and splendor.

John fell prostrate before Him (verse 17,) the glory of His countenance bhing too dazzling for John's eyes to behold. But laid His right hand upon John and told him not to foar. The Christian has no eauso to fear in the presence of Jesus. You may bo either a dark lantern Christian in this world or a light to show to others tho paths in which they should travel. May we all live as shining lights to others, and be instrumental in doing much good.

It i is a sad fact that some who themselves Christians are often. stumbling blocks to others, not bar- ing enough light in them to be of nny importance to thoir surrounding neighbors, "not even as good as a tallow candlo as far us shining is concerned," says a writer who has 1 1 people nnd Christianity his study. Golden am liveth and was dead; and, behold. I am alive forovcruiore." (Rev. i.

18.) The Comforter xvi, 5-13. On last Sunday our lesson closed, with Christ's gift of tho Holy Spirit through whom power was to come. This gift was bostowed in its fullness upon all tho disciplos on the day of Pentecost the event of which we celebrate i coming Sunday, and tho story of which is given in Acts ii, 1-11). This special and appro- I priate lesson of tho Comforter will be studied iu many Sunday schools in I place of tho regular International i lesson. On Ascension day wont to Heaven, from whence pr.

hnd come, but Ho sout the Spirit to guide us into all, and, the disciplos, praise God (Acts ii, for such a precious Saviour, Church olid salvation. May preachers on this coming Wbi' tide bo filled with the Holy and us successful iu convicting people of sin as was Peter at cost (Acts ii, 27.)
