monthly deliberations. All the

asked the commissioners to de-
fend the "wet or dry" suit, in
which Judge Hooker has just de-
cided that the petition asking for
wet and dry election did not
contain the necessary number of
signatures OF registered voters,
so far as it applied to Jno. 2.
GalIoway's case, not that the
election was not legal, but, left in
its present condition, it decided
nothing. He made this PROPOSE
tion to the commissioners, and
sand that he felt so certain that
he could prove that the petition
in question did contain the legal
numhe of registered voters to
cal that election that if he did
not win the case for the county
he would not charge them cent.
II he did win the case, then for
the commissioners to give him
what, In their estimation, was
fair compensation. He said he
was confident that fifty witnesses
would establish the fact he con-
tended for, and the cost would be
from 50 to So for each witness.
The matter was referred to

whether it should prosecute the

b ,ard had awarded the contract

b ,ard had awarded the contract
and, by law, had to stand by it,
no matter what it might think of
the justice and equity of Mr..
Marlow's demand. Even Chair
man Carney said that the present
body had learned this fact of be-
ing compelled to stand by the
boards contract in the case of j.
G.. Porter versus the board of
county commissioners in the fa-
nous delinquent tax publication
suit of 1897. The board voted to
lay Mr.. Marlow's petition on the
table, but not before that gentle
man said that the public roads of
that district were not worked as
the law contemplated, nor kept
up to that state of efficiency
which the law contemplated, as
the law plainly says that the
overseer shall employ not less
than six men at not to exceed
sl.1o a day, and Mr.. M. showed
that the laborers did not average
half that number. Mr.. Stana-
land, in his own defence, said that
the men could not be had.
Mrs. Cunningham, from the
Santos section, asked for rebate
on her personal taxes, as she
claimed she had lost about half
of her twenty head Of cattle.
Her assessment was for S240, and
it was reduced to 500,
Mr.. DAVIS Moody appeared 10
behalf Of an aged negro, who
had almost lost his sight. and the
board put him on the pauper list
at So a month. His name is KEEL
lis Cokley, though it IS not spelled
that way, and Mr.. Moody said
that his father had once told him
that a man had lost team and
wagon on a bet that he could
spell it, and failed.
w. B. Holly, who WAS asked
to qualify on Ferryman Parks
bond, declined, as he thought
the conditions were too exactiug.
The board said it was with him
to say what to do.
The Fairfield folks applied for
a voting precinct, thirty-eight
persons signing the petition, but
as Allen put 1t, the election being
nearly eighteen months in the
future, it was restfully placed on
the table until Squire entity
could be heard.
1t will be remembered that
Mr. Odlln Of Kendrick has ap-
peared on several occasions ask
ing that the old Ocala and Mar
tin road be closed. Now comes a
counter petition with twenty
signers, asking that it be kept
open. The petition was re-
ferred.
The entrance of Editor Miller
of Dunnellon almost caused the
board TO stampede, until he as
sured the memo erS that the vac
cine scab had been removed from

remembered, that phosphate
burg is sorely afflicted with small
pox.
In the afternoon George Can

through Commissioner Mcleod,
asked that he be released from
