A Negro Dangerously CIT.

Cooper Robinson, a negro living
near Lake Iamonia, was assaulted last
Sunday and dangerously cut by an
other negro, by the name Of Cason.
Robinson was on bis way home from
church, when he stopped and got
down from his buggy to speak to a
neighbOr, when Cason coming up,
without any provocation, assaulted
him, and before Robinson knew his
intention, had cuG him twice. One
cut was about two inches long in the
throat, and narrowly missed the ju-
gular vein, another, on the shoulder
and third, was from the shoulder
down the arm to elbow. The
wounded man was at first not ex-
pected to live, but we learn that
there now is some hope Of his recov-
cry. CasOn was arrested and is try
ing to procure bond.

A Difference in Statement.

The Jacksonville Capital Removal
Association last week sent out circu-
lar letters all over the State which
contained the following statement:
"There is in Jacksonville today an
office building seven stories in height,
including the basement, and 1O5 feet
square. This building is of a very
handsome exterior, fireproof, thor
oughly equipped with electric lights,
bells and speaking tubes, as well as
elevators aud every other appliance
for safety and convenience. The
structure contains 1875 feet Of floor
space and it's total cost was less than
$4,000"
The building referred to is the
Gardner building. Just as the build
ing was completed the owner of it,
Mr.. Gardner, showed the Index edi-
tor over great portion of it and in
answer to the question as to its cost;
Mr.. Gardner replied: ''It cost a lot
of money, lot of money; it cost
over 100000"
This is the statement of the man
who had it built, who paid for it, and
now owns it.
Such reckless and untruthful state
mer IS from the Jacksonville Capital
removers show the desperate straits
to which they are reduced in their
efforts to delude the people, and it
further shows the class of politicians
who would ''rule the rOost" in State
politics were the Capital located in

The Paramount Issue in Florida.

The people of Florida do not
seem to be thinking a great deal
about the question Of imperialism, OF
Of free silver, or of trusls or of any
one of the other questions, set form
in the platforms of the political par
ties. They are thinking and talking
about the question of removing the
Capital from Tallahassee to Jackson
vile, Ocala, Gainesville or St. Au-
gustine. That is the paramount
question in Florida.
Thus decides the Savannah News,
but that excellent paper has evidently
formed It's opinion from the source Of
information nearest hand-JacksOn-
ville-and mistaken the froth for the
sold.
AS a whole the people of the State
are apathetic on the subject. The
exceptions are, some of the residents
of the towns desiring the Capitol, ard
many of those citizens are nOn-tax-
payers, whose enthusiasm is in ratio
with the money they are now getting
OR the benefits they expect to receive
should their candidate meet with
success.
The great majority are silent.
Their speech will be loud and bOis-
terous, however, on election day, as
they vote for Tallahassee.
The News remarks further, with
truth and common sense:
Every one of the places mentioned
is ambitious to be the Capital of the
State. If there were only one place
that wanted to get the Capital away
from Tallahassee, the chances OF the
State getting a new Capital would be
very much better than it is. The
way it looks now, however, is that
the people who favor letting the
Capital remain where it is outnumber

Iadles and gentlemen from Braiden-

out Friday night to hear the
Hon. Fred. T. Myers advocate the
cause of Tallahassee for retention as
the Capital of the State.
The speaker being a native Of Tai

=t-Oval whenever raised, and was con-

his opening remarks to giving his
<Qry Of these, bringing his audience up
to TIE present one, the origin OF
which he credits to Jacksonville, or
rather TO certain ambitious citizens of
that city; aud not to a demand of the
people of the State, as these inter
ested ones have undertaken to de-
clare.
He was especially clear in stating
the facts connected with the agitation
OF the question at the last session of
the Legislature, together with It's de-
feat; and also his eG'Ort after It's de-
feat to authorize the bonding of Leon

the question open. lie also made
plain to the audience some of the con-
ditpns which prevailed at our recent

The Ocala Banner says OcaIa i

Jacksonville. The Hauner NAV he
mistaken, as a few men OF Fernan-

our prosperity, don't constitute all of
the voters OF Nassau county. One
of Fernandina'S citizens said in Jack

Jacksonville from winning-not that
we are particularly opposed to re-

a FARMERS OPINION
I'm the Removal Of the State
| Capital. |
SAYSIT WILLCOST $S,OO(,OOO
claims that it will be a Burde In on
Our Grandchildren.

The following letter wiittens to
i gentleman in this city present the
. Capital removal from a new Itand-
noint, but we must confess thatsthere
IS a great deal of truth in the Iargu-
ments he advances:
Houston, Fla, Oct. 7, 1900
Dear Sir-In reply TO yours df the
25th, just received, and ever \ line
carefully noted. am proud I'd state
that feel sure that the Capital 5 safe
where it is, SO far as this ou41ty is
concerned. | have considered the
matter in all its features, and have
figured it out like this. That toi move
the Capital is to entail bonded debt
upon the poor people of Florida OF
S3,0O0,OO0. That it's money Joan
ing scheme by few monied {harks
of Jacksonville, St. ,Aagusti1e, or
other South Florida sharpersI who
are anxious to get hold updl the
State, in disguise, by saying tbdCapi-
tai should be moved, and thdy are
willing to furnish small per c9nt. of
the expense in order to loan thdState
the balance. | make it s3,Oq0,000
this way: Those who are wanting to
move the Capital, fix their fgu,'es at
100000, with interest, and by the
time it could be paid, togethes with
the present Indebtedness, it will cost
the State three times the priScipal.
Now we have fair example q this
statement in our county, to-wit: Only
a few years ago, one of HaSnilton
county's money sharks proposed to
the commissioners of that couA pity to
loan them money with which to build
new court house and Jail, at 10 per
cent. interest, and ten years topayi+
Siiif III. The. commissioners bit 8t the
bait, and bonded the county for
$4,000, which placed the county on
a scrip basis. The scrip is worth only
so cent in the dollar. Now, at the ex-
piration of ten years, that property
will have cost the people CT that
county $4,000, and how much
longer that interest will run is yet to
be seen. 1t may cost $4,000.
School teachers get so cents in the
dollar for their labor. This is the
condition the State could be put in
by inconsistent voting. Now to the
voters of FLORIDA, when you consider
this matter in It's Just merits you will
not vote for removal. 1t would put
a burden upon your grandchildren,
and probably, your great grandchil-
dren. In the second place, if it could
or should be moved to jacksonville
it would only benefit a few monied
individuals, and it would always be
subject to some contagious disease,
such as yellow fever, or something
like it.
The TALLAHAssEFAN may publish
this, if desirable, as this is the conSld-
Grafton of farmer, who had no ad-
vantages of an education, and has
hal to work at hard labor all the days
of my life, but when such things come
hefore me, l always give it thought
fuI consideration. 1t would put the
State in the same condition the war
between the States did, and we have
no more lands to give away, with
which to liquidate this enormous and
would-be unnecessary expense.
With grateful hopes and best
wishes, | am very truly yours,
GEO. w. MILLS.

They Need Wire Screens.

Last night asuccession of screams
could be heard issuing from the tel
ephone Office, as if some one was
being butchered or had been i'm
paled upon a 1000 volted wire. The
passerby was stopped and with
blanched face expected to hear of
murder or some dire disaster COM
ing from the room which is occupied
by J of dozen young lady opera
tors of the telephone. Several
rushed up to offer their services but
it was found that one over-sensitive
and nervous young lady had discov-
cred one of these electric light bugs
which are as large as a humming
bird, in the sleeve of her shirt waist
1t had made its presence known to
her by crawling on her arm, and
when she made a grab for it and
found that she had a handful of
something that was dangerously
large and active in its frantic eff
forts to get from her closed hand
she lost control of herself and sent
forth on the night air a succession
of shrieks that made not only the
pedestrians passing by horror
stricken, but threw her female com
panions into conniption fits. They
rushed to her aid and we're told to
tear out the sleeve quick as there
was a tarantula in there scratching
and biting. The young ladies tore
out the sleeve and otherwise ripped
the waist until the arm was relieved
and the big ugly bug exposed. The
operators right then and there re-
solved to ask that wire screens be
put in the windows to keep out the
winged invaders and disturbers of
