OBJECT TO TENANTS VISITOR
Mrs. Gillespie Charged by Mrs.
Hoppe With Assault.

Mrs. Jane Gillespie, of Wilkinson ave-
nue., near Ocean avenue, was before
Police Justice Murphy in the Second
Criminal Court this morning, on a
subpoena, having been charged with as
sault and battery by Mrs. Tillie Hoppe,
of Ocean avenue.
Mrs. Gillespie, who is an elderly woman,
rents apartments to relatives of Mrs
Hoppe, whom Mrs. Hoppe occasionally
visits. For some reason that was not
made apparent. Mrs. Gillespie objects to
these visits. On Saturday night the
two women got into a row, and Mrs.
Hoppe, who is muscular young woman
claims she was knocked down by the
elderly Mrs. Gillespie.
Mrs Gillespie's grown daughter ap-
peared in Court as witness for her
mother. She is a young lady who can talk
fast and long. She went into the entire
history of the two families and told of
everything except that which pertained
to the assault. In vain the justice tried
to stop her. He pounded his gavel and
alternately ordered and begged the young
woman to cease talking. Finally in des-
pair he asked If there was any one
present Who could stop her. He brought
the case to a close by ordering Mrs. Gill
lespie to sign bond to keep the peace.
As the young lady was leaving the court
room she shook her fist at the Justice.
She was still talking when she left the
court room

COL. DEAN is NOT AN ELk.
He Doesn't Grow Horns Even If He
Does Hail From Geovgia.

Col. Dean attended a debating society
last night in Greenville. He distributed
some tickets for the Elks picnic to be held
tomorrow. Several of the debaters present
were Elks and believing Col Dean was

the colonel If he was an Elk, and the
colonel promptly answered NO." for
getting that he had distributed some tic
kets for the picnic, he said, ''why did
you ask me If l was an Elk? Does my
bald head look as If it sprouted horns?
You remind me of an old lady l met in
Chicago at the Worlds fair. She was
from Vermont, and as she stopped at the
same hotel we became pretty well ac-
quainted One day Sc said, Colonel, I
don't mean to offend you, but 1 would
like to know if the uneducated people of
the South, who live up on the mountains
and who think General Jackson is still
running for President, have horns like
cows?'
Il replied why NO my dear madam,
never saw one What put that idea into
your head?' Well replied the old lady,
I was at Barnums circus one time, and

his forehead and he said he was from

the new law that the school age is lowered

the law that no child shall go to school

Another View.

Editor TallahaSseean-The white
Democrats of Florida will be called
OH in November to express whether
they prefer Tallahassee, Ocala, st.
Augustine or Jacksonville as the
Capital of Florida, and l do hope that
for the welfare of the State of Flor
ida and good of the Democratic party
that jacksonville will not be selected,
for many good reasons.
Duval county-especially Jackson
vilIe-is well known and noted for
its factiOnal rows, which have cost
the State of Florida, in Its Legisla-
ture, many thousands of dollars, and
the Democratic conventions many
hours of valuable time in trying to
settle their factional differences. 1t
is true that every now and then that
these ''factions" bury the hatchet, but
leave the handle out of the ground
and later on dig up full grown axe.
If Jacksonville is selected, the next
move will be to amend the cOnstitu-
ton 80 as to have the Legislature sit
I2O. days-11O days to make and un-
make laws for Jacksonville and the
other 10 DAYS to be devoted to the
balance of Florida, if Jacksonville is
satisfied. Then they will build up a
Tammany Hall, of which the spoil
hunters of New York, under the same
name, will sink into small insignif-
canoe in comparison. They will also
try to run the State in debt for at
least two millions of dollars. for which
the next four or FIVE generations will
be taxed to pay, and all to please
Jacksonville.
The present Capitol is one of the
best buildings in Florida, and an
expenditure of $4,000 or less, in ad-
ding a wing for the Supreme Court
would make it plenty large for the
needs of Florida for the next 80
wears. We can well afford to enlarge
the present building, but not to build
another one, and therefore, every man
interested in Florida should vote for
Tallahassee, for the race is between
Tallahassee and Jacksonville.
