The editor OF the Green CoOe Spring is much in
doubt as TO the legality Of the tax sales made on
the 4th inst by the various collectors in the State
as it was legal holiday, and is. in his opinion
as much null and void as If made on Sunday, and
remarks:
:" 1t is reported that the Comptroller of Florida
has decided the sales of last Monday legal. We
never knew before that this officer was a court
and rendered decisions. It seems to as that such
matters should properly come either before the
State or United States Supreme Court for deci-
sion. Those who bought lands or other property
on the last 4th might do well TO look into the le-
gality of the same"
The Green COUe Spring is right, and its advice
timely. Much future trouble will be saved many
people if they will take the letter of the law for
their guide, instead Of the hasty opinions of min-
isterial oficers.-LGke City Reporter
The above criticisms, as we are informed, are
based upon advice given by the Comptroller TO
Collector OF Revenue, who applied for 1t; and
it may be well enough to say to those who are
not informed as to the duties of that Office, that,
among other things, it is the business of the
Comptroller to advise and instruct the revenue
officers as to their duties and the legality of their
proceedings, and it should not be presumed that
he assumes TO act as court in 90 doing, for his
rulings are, OF course, subject 10 review by the
State courts. But we would ask, why is not the
opinion of the Comptroller worth as much, for all
practicable purposes, as that Of the Green CoUe
Spring and Lake City Reporter. who, in their
very complaint against the Comptroller, essay to
advance opinions Of their own on the same sub
jectS
We are advised however that II is the opinion
of many of the best lawyers in the State that
the sales referred TO are legal, and we may call
attention to the fact that business was regularly
carried on all through the country on the 4th of
July, Notwithstanding it was national hOl-
iday"
We think newspapers should be more careful
of their facts before indulging in harsh criticisms
upon the acts Of State officials

We are glad TO see that the EcOnOmist is fol-
lowing the FLoRIDIAK's lead in protesting
against The inequality of tax assessments in The
different counties of the State. This is true
reform" and should receive the thoughtful con-
sideration of every newspaper, as well as every
good citizen of the State. The assessment Of
lands alto above their actual market value by
some, while they are habitually returned for tax
alton by others at . valuation which looks actli-
ally ridiculous beside the prices at which they
are offered and sold in open market, is manifest
and violent injustice 10 those who return their
property at fair valuation.
The Economist also adopts the FLoRIDIAN's
mode Of acquiring the necessary information TO
secure fair and impartial discussion of Che sub
jet comparing the assessmens-roll valuations
with actual values Every citizen, a. well as
every editor n de State can and should do the

EXECUTIVE MANSION, July 1910 p. m.-The
history of the Presidents case to-day is almost a
duplication of the record yesterday There has
been further reduction of 210 in the maximum
temperature for last twenty-four hours which
indicates continued abatement Of the afternoon
fever, and there has also been steady improve
ment in the general symptoms The patient ate
a small quantity of roast beef this afternoon,
swallowing both juice and fibre. and took the
usual allowance Of toast, milk, meat extract and
wine. At 10 o'clock tonight ne is sleeping
quietly after a hypodermic injection Of OF q
grain OF niorpha. The discharge from tile
wound con tinues to be normal in quantity and
appearance, and from the fact that the drainage
tube cannot be pushed further than three inches
and half into the wound without encountering
resistance, II Is inferred that the puss all comes
from that part of the bullets track which lies
between the external surface Of the body and the
ribs, and that the depth of the wounds have
closed. DR. Reyburn, upon being asked tonight
whether he regarded the President as out Of
danger, said: 81 should hardly ike TO pro-
nounce him safe. but he is rapidly approaching
the safety line. There Is not the slightest indi-
cation of pyemia. The danger Of secondary
hemorrhage has almost entirely passed. The
surgical fever has 90 far abated TO be apparent
for only few hours In the afternoon and even
ing and the patient is making q steady progress
toward conyalescence." The executive mansion
has presented quiet and almost deserted APP
pearance to-day, callers being for The most part

members oflfhe cabinct, with one o. two excep-
tons, have gone either down the river or TO

Pensacola Gazette, June 2sth.l
Pensacola g. Atlantic Railroad.

The work OF the surveyors is being pushed
with vigor. and the indications are constant that
energy. intelligence and experience are directing
the affairs Of the company to which the people
look for the carrying out of an undertaking that
they have, through their representatives, richly
endowed with property OF the public domain
Of course there is much anxiety all through the
country which the road Is 10 traverse as to the
line of route to be selected-eveFy community
naturally desiring that the line should be located
as most convenient for them and advantageous
to theii interests As all cannot be suited, il Ii
to be expected that there will be much grum-
bling; in some instances. perhaps, more will be
displeased than are gratified-a quite unavoid-
able consequence, as the road cannot run all
round and over the country, by every mans
door.
The good people of Milton, the most impor-
tant town, except Pensacola, in all the counties
west of Chauahoochee that the road viii ira
verse, are moving quite theoretically TO secure
an advantageous line of route through their cor
poration-which, by the way, will be within an
hours run of Pensacola if the shortest distance
be adjudged feasible. as we hope 1t may. This
win be the desirable route across the mouth of
the Escambia and along the bay shore in this
county.
The Board of Aldermen of Milton last Friday
called meeting OF citizens TO take place to-mor-
row, 10Th instant, to consider the matter Of
granting right of way TO the railroad through
the corporation, and no doubt the action taken
will represent general sentiment that every
thing must be done to further the interests Of the
company, as being in common with those Of the
community. We have reason to think that the
action of the meeting viii be in such generous
spirit that the railroad company may have do
mated TO them all the ground needed for depot
purposes. We shall see very soon

st. marks and the sponge Trade.

Ii is very amusing to notice what cOrrespOn-
dent in the FLORIDIAE says in writing OF ST.
Marks and the sponge trade and to notice what
ignorance is displayed. Apalachicola, with
cOmmendable ZEAL not only bid for the sponge
trade, but got it. Ont of 5000 sponge sold
while the ApalachicOla merchant. Mr. j. G..
Ruge, was in St. Marks, Mr.. Isaacs, with the
assistance of the good citizens of Saint Marks y
got only $500, and the disappointed Apalachi-
cola merchant the balance The cash was paid
and spent in Apalachicola, and also the $500
paid by Mr. Isaacs was brought to Apalachieola.
Out Of over 500 900 worth of sponge caught in
the past three years, ApalachicOla got $95, 900,
and "our sea port" the second Oldest city in
the United States" got barely 5000 worth. II
MIR. lsaacs wants 10 purchase sponge why doesn't
he come here : II is because he knows well
that he will pay much higher price for it, II.
Brasil and Ruge g. Sons represent enough CAPT
tai 10 purchase all OF the sponge on the Florida
reefs. We do moi wish TO discourage our sea
port" and the E" second oldest city in the United
States" but we would like to set the FLoRIDIAN
and some of its correspondents right They, at
times, seem TO delight in msrepresenting "poor
old ApalachicOla," as they choose to term u.s.
We will add, for the information of the FLoRI-
DIAN and other Florida papers, that il is impos-
sible TO keep poor old Apalaehcola down
But the hardest hit We ever had was to be COM
