Alongside of it Lawsons articles

The strenuous discussion of the

T slavery question led to a most critical

sectional tensionThe political debates were most

impassioned and were made by or¬I

ators whose personal feelings hadi

been wrought up to a white heatCompared to it the 16 to 1 cam¬

paign was like the tallow dip to a

modem arc Ifght The seas were

angry and running mountain high

and the winds wee bowing with

fearful impetuosityr In the south were men like Beny

When I state that at his death sixhundred of his own slaves formed apart of the funeral procession someidea may be formed of his wealth-

He was anolder man than his op ¬

ponent was sanguine andambitiousI and while the office held out nothing-

but an empty honor he determined towin it at all hazards

His opponent had his heart set on

winning the prize just ns ardentlyHe was about to lead one of thesweetest and fairest women of thelittle city to the hym hial altar andthis added zest and inspiration to hisambition-

He bought a newspaper hired abrass band a coach and four dapplegrays and gave banquets and barbe-

The democratic leader over exertedhimself contracted a severe cold

which Resulted in pneumonia andfrom tub effects which he never

irecovered-

His friends called > U Mm daily andbuoyed him up with hope that his

election Vas sureHe lived until the day after the

elections the early returns indicatedthat he had won a decided victory

s-

and hesaid to those about his couchthat he died happy

Later returns reversed the first ind-

ications and when the votes werecounted it was discovered that theyounger man had won the honors-

He gave a banquet in celebration-of the event which was for alongtime the talk of the community

General William Killcrease whoseI

ardor and enthusiasm resulted in hisi death was a man of large affairs and

operated on a large scale Like hisson he was energetic progressive-and made a distinct success in life

was so unique and original in itsi character especially for those timesthat it deserves a place in your columns of Some Florida Incidents
