mans stupidness told over again, as
by the prophet of olden time. ''Yea,
the stork, knoweth her appointed
times, and the turtle, and the crane,

their coming; but my people doth

1t would seem as though a man
who barks with a cold all these
dreary winters would at least have
sense enough to ''move on"
More than so men laboring in and
about two large saw mills near here,
Grant Co., W. Va.), are sick, and
unable to work on account of severe
colds, fevers, ETC., all coming from
cold wet feet, and breathing air that
runs 10 to 12 degrees below zero.
The farmer here thinks he is do
ing we'll if he can raise enough in
summer to run him and his stock
through the winter. With the won
derful developments of agriculture
in Florida since the freeze, and the
nameless number and varieties of
fruits and vegetables that are indig-
enous to her soil, and the profitable
and prompt remuneration for aver
age toll: the wonder is that one of
these winters would not send Florida

she can accommodate. This is the

NV Last Shiver!

IF T live until the last week in this
month, (Feb.), l will land in Florida.
It seems strange since a kind Provi-
dence has arranged a mild healthful
climate within 40 hours of these
snow capped mountains, that so few
people realize the Importance OF a
change to a more genial climate. One
of Florida's citizens writes me that
he went to Florida 16 years ago to
die, and is now well, hearty, and
wealthy man.
We should be as wise as wild

Gus states and territories, have re-
peatedly affirmed that infringement
on, or disturbing the peaceable pos
session of property, is practically
evicting the occupant of the disturb
ed property, or at least measurably
so. In principal [ see no difference
between authorizing my nelghbors
cattle to enter my field through de-
fective fence and spoil my crop, or
authorizing my neighbor to enter my
unlocked barn and cart of my corn
I don't believe that the legislature
of Florida can make a law that can
vest the right of eminent domain in
the razor back hog or wire grass
cow, to an extent that neither the
federal or state government can go;
neither do [ believe that the legisla-
ture of Florida can make any law
whereby vested rights can be abrldg-
ed. or that will authorize any county
board to make a valid rule whereby
one must submit to plunder, or be
put to expense to protect himself
from theft or trespass. L am curl
Gus as to what view the supreme
court of Florida will take in a case
properly presented, wherein the con-
stitutionality of existing fence law is
at issue; whether the court will up
hold the statutory right of a citizen
when infringed on under cover OF
statutory law. Believing that some
of the acomen and vigilance display
ed by on courts defining and protect
inc the technical rights of criminals,
would be accorded to the Florida far
mer toiling for honest subsistence.
With this view of the situation L
think I feel disposed to contribute to
a fund for the purpose of testing the
validity of the present fence law Ii
Governor BloXham should see fit to

Road Construction.-VII.


When the material for ballasting
is sand or muck or clay alone, it may
be loosened with the plow and moved
with the scraper, but turf should be
cut and handled with the spade.
While the pillow in agriculture is SUI
perior to the spade from it's ability
to pulverize and aerate the soil, for
the purpose in question it is worse,
on account of these very qualities, as
it breaks the fibres and admits the
air among them, thereby weakening
the turf and causing it's speedy de-
cay And road machines are not to
be advocated except ON old clay
roads, and then only when followed
by heavy rollers. Rollers are good
when very heavy and often used; but
on Florida roads they will not pay
expenses.
The making of a new road is only
the beginning of a good road. By re-
peatedly fortifying it in weak places
grows better all the time. If the
utS and hOllows are occasionally
He'd with solid materials, little side
trenches made to carry away accu-
nulated water into the bitches, and
';he latter kept in good working or
er, the road will become SO close

Though not so in principle, the
'oad might be considered in the light
Of "a lever. Take a stiff wire full of
little and big crooks and lay one end
over a stick, lever fashion. Attach
weight to the short end and see what
power is needed at the other end to
balance it. Now straighten out the
wire, have the short arm and the
weight the same as before. Much
less power is now needed to balance
the weight, for the long arm has in
reased in length. The crooked wire
is the road at present with all it's un-
dIiations and crooks, the weight is
the wagon, the power the horse. At
ter the road has been eveled and
made firm and straight, much less
power is required to draw "a certain

advantage. Another is that growing

Florida Fence Law.

Florida Fence Law.
| have read with much interest the
able articles on road building that
have recently appeared in the Agri-
culturist; and while the agitation of
this topic proceeds it appears to me
that the road fence question comes
next to it and merits earnest consid-
Grafton. AS Florida law now stands
or is practiced, it becomes necessary
for person to maintain fences as
prescribed before any remedy is
available to prevent trespass or its
results. The fence law seeming to
be elastic and erastic, being applica-
BILE in various degrees in various
parts of the state and of unequal
force in various parts Of the same
county. For example the north part
of Leon county is somehow supposed
part of the year exempt from the
nuisance of live stock running at
large, whereas at the same time the
south part of the county is left open
to the ranges of any beast at large
from anywhere in Leon or any ada
cent county, making it compulsory to
erect expensive fences around fields
to secure any proposed crop, creating
a direct fence tax vastly in excess OF
all other taxes, thus to encourage a
class of people who either own no
land or make a practice of keeping
their live stock on land they don't
own.
By exercising the right of eminent
domain the state may take part or all
of citizens realty for use of the
state, or may delegate the exercise
of this authority to municipal cor
porations and to a limited degree
railroad corporations and other com
mon carriers, for the purpose OF ac-
quiring rights of way for line of
road necessary, building cites, etc.,
but these rights in all cases are
strictly limited to territory, actually
used for necessities of those corpora
tions, municipal or otherwise. For
example, certain officers can by due
process prescribed by law condemn
lands and lay out highways for pub
lie use, but by their proceedings
neither the public or any individual
acquires any right on such highway
except to pass over it or to construct
and main a road bed thereon; and
when abandonment for highway pur-
poses the land so taken reverts to the
original owner-the constitution OF
the United States-and of all our va
rious states and territories so far as
I have been able to examine them. in
substance provide that no one can be
deprived of life, liberty and property
without due process of law.

CHICAGO, July ito the Public: On
June % ult., news dispatch, originating in
New Orleans, was transmitted over the
wires of the Asso ciate1 Press, giving de-
tails of the conviction of Louis Gallet, for
robbing the Union National Bank of that
city of s3OO,G0O by Juggling the concerns
balances. The item stated further that the
discovery of the frauds led to the closing
of the bank and that GaIlet's confederate
committed suicide rather than face the
cusation of theft.
In transmission by wire the date line
was changed by an operators error so that
the item appeared in the columns of cast
ern newspapers under u Louisville, Ky,
date, and consequence reflections were
cast upon the Union National Bank of
Louisville as to it's financial standing. etc.
1t goes without saying that the Asso-
ciated Press never for a moment contem,
plated reflection upon the good name Of
the Union National Bank of Louisville, an
institution that is generally known to be
sound to the core. Therefore, the ASSoci
ated Press considers it its plain duty to af-
ford the bank clear justice in some degree
for the false light in which it has been
pls ced and to this end makes haste TO an
nounce that the Union National Bank of
Louisville is in nowise connected with the
New Orleans affair, and that it rests today
as it always has, upon a. sound financial
basis.

COLOR LINE IN Kentucky.
DR.. James Arouses Criticism by the
Appofntment Of COlOred Deputies.
UTY 10, 1897.


Special Dispatch The Evening Star.
LOUISVILLE. KY, July 14.-Dr. A. ID.
James the newly appointed United States
marshal for Kentucky, has aroused storm
of protest and created more discord in the
republican party by his appointment of two
coal-black negroes as deputy United States
marshals This action is unprecedented in
the history of Kentucky and it is being re-
scented by men of all parties. DIR. James
smilingly announces that the appointments
please him and that the negroes deserve
to be remembered for their efforts in be-
half of the party candidates in the past.
He says he will not rescind the appoint
ments, and will not be bulldoZed into cur
failing the duties of the colored appointees.
From every county in the state comes
protest from republicans. The white party
leaders say they have been ignored by the
doctor in the apportionment of well-won
spoils, and that the new marshal has not
only named the two negroes, Ito the dis
credit of the party, but has also appoint
ed two democrats as deputies. In a card
Just published in a western Kentucky pa
per a republican says that the civil service
rules keep many men i'm places, and that
the few plums the republicans could have
are thrown away on ''niggers and demo-
Gratis" 1t is said formal protests will be
sent to the doctor from several counties
this week, but he says he has selected the
staff.
One of the best informed leaders in the
republican party told your correspondent
yesterday that the action of DIR. James and
the other unfavorable conditions now ex-
listing would make 1t impossible for the
republicans to win state race within the
next four years. And it does look that way.
