Preparing For Convention.

A meeting OF the Orlando Improve
ment Association and public-spirited
citizens was held at the opera house
to take such action as might be neces-
sary to prepare for the good roads
convention. It was decided to hold
the convention in the Racket store"
building, opposite the San Juan ho-
tel. The room is a very large one, and
will be seated and put in order for the
meeting. 1t was also decided to utilize
the display windows and some of the
showcases and spare space for the
purpose of an exhibit of Florida pro-
ducts and road building material. This
will be an attractive feature Of itself.
An appropriation from the treasury Of
the Improvement Association was made
to cover the necessary cost of gathering
and returning exhibits. A committee
of arrangements was selected, COM
posed of prominent citizens. The
railroads have kindly made q special
rate of one and one-fourth fare for the
occasion, the certificate system having
been adopted by them.

REFUSED TO CONCUR
House Does Not Agree With Sen
ate On Porto R;oan Bill.
CHAIRMAN CANNON STANDS FIRM
insists On Original ProVIsIon-Democrats
However. Were willing to Avoid
Further Delay.

A Washington special says: The
house Monday refused to concur in
the senate amendments to the Porto
Rican relief bill. The Democrats sup
ported a motion to concur on the
ground that it would avoid further de-
lay in extending relief to the inhsbi-
tants of the island, but the Republi-
cans stood firmly behind Chairman
Cannon in his demand that the house
should insist upon its original provis-
ion to appropriate not only the money
collected on Porto Rican goods up to
January LIST, but all subsequent mon
eys collected or to be collected.
When the Porto Rican appropris-
tion bill was called up Mr.. Cannon
moved that the house non-concur in
the senate amendments and Mr.. Nc
Rae, Of Arkansas, moved concurrence.
Mr.. Cannon explained the changes
made in the bill by the senate.
Mr.. McRae said that the essential
difference between the two bills was
that the house affirmed the right of
the United to impose the Dingley
rates against Porto Rico, whereas the
senate provision upon this subject was
indefinite.
Members on both sides, he said,
were agreed that the duties collected
on Porto Rican goods should be re-
turned, the Democrats taking the po-
sition that there should be absolute
free trade between the island and the
United States. Democratic applause. J
Mr.. Bell, of Colorado, also advo-
Gated concurrence in the senate
amendments.
Mr.. Moody, Of Massachusetts,, and
Mr.. McClealy, Of Minnesota, advo-
Gated Mr.. Csnnon's motion, declaring
that the Porto Rican tariff bill pro-
posed to treat the people of the island
better than the people of any territory
of the United States were ever treated.
Mr.. Swanson of Virginia denounced
the Porto Rican tariff bill as ''infa-
nous" and said the pending bill to
give back the duties collected under
the Dingley law was an attempt to su-
gar-coat the outrage. The power to
fix the duties on goods coming into
and going from this country was the
power exercised by England prior to
the revolution an dwas one of the main
reasons why the colonies threw off the
yoke.
The motion to concur was lost, sc
TO 1l6, strict party vote, except that
Mr.. Thayer, Democrat, of Massachu-
sets, voted with the Republicans.
The motion to non-concur then pre-
vailed without division. The speaker
appointed Messrs. Cannon, Moody
and McRae conferees on the part of

DEATH CLAIMS BAILEY.

Victim OF Cobb County Mob Succumbs
to Wounds.
John Bailey, the negro who was tax
en- from the Cobb county jail at Mari
eta, Ga, by n mob Saturday night last
and riddled with bullets because of his
assault upon a young lady few days
before, died in the Jail Tuesday morn
ing, and his body was turned over to
his family for burial.
The exhibition of vitality shown by
Bailey WAS simply marvellous, and the
fact that he remained conscious from
the time of shooting until all hour or
so prior TO his death is still more won
derful.
Baily had one ball in his head back
of the ear, two IL his left arm, ono in
his left leg below the knee, three in
his right lung, one in his loin and one
near his spine in the small of his back
md in addition to this had q large
deep cut in the top of his head caused
By blow with apiece of iron in the
hands of some one of the mob. In
this condition he lived for Sc hours.
Bailey made a full confession to
She!iff Bishop and Bailey's father
Sunday, but Mr.. Bishop had promised
that he would not divulge the confess
sion until after his death.
Bailey told Deputy Sheriff Anderson
and several others that he passed
along and frightened the girl, but did
not make full confession to them as
he did to Sheriff Bishop and his ia
Their. To them he confessed the crime
as had been told by the young lady
and fully corrObOrated her in every
particular.

REDMOND RAMPANT
Lsadsr of Irish Nationalist Talks
at Banquet In London.
QUEENS VISIT WILL BE UKAVAILNG
In Eliminating Irish Hatred OF Mitigating
Practical Grievances Against
Great Britain.

At O national banquet at the Hotel
Cecil, in London Tuesday evening,
John Redmond. leader of the nation
alist party in the house of COM
mons, who presided, said he regarded
the last nine years of public life in
Ireland ar o hidoous nightmare.
"Our reunion is sincere" he con-
tinued, land there is nothing, hu-
namely speaking, which the eighty
six Irish members of parliament can
not obtain from the exigencies of the
British parties. 1t is incredible that
British statesmen can be so blind to
the teaching of history as to imagine
that serious practical grievances can
be mitigated by royal visit to Ireland
or by British celebration of st. Pat
rick's day"
Mr.. Redmond denounced the war as
the ''most damning of which there is
any record in history" but he evoked
tremendous enthusiasm when referring
to the gallantry of the Irish soldiers.
Edward Blake, member of parlia-
ment for South Longford, who pro-
posed the toast, ireland, a Nation"
was greeted with hostile cries.
A disturbance ensued aud the police
were called in to; restore order.
Amid the uproar, stewards were
sent for to secure quiet. A scrimmago
followed and blows were EXCHANGED.
After sharp tussle quietude was OBJ
tanned.
Later, while Edward McHugh, mem
Der Of parliament for South Armagh,
was speaking, small coterie renewed
the Interruptions, which developed
into q free fight. Many ladies were
present and became greatly alarmed.
Ultimately the police overpowered
the disturbers and elected them.

The trend of modern civilization is
toward prolonging and safe guarding
the existence of the individual. 1t is
also true that there is growing moral
uprising against the wickedness of
slaughter in war. But all this may
be freely admitted without the con-
cession that society may never Justly
put the criminal to death. That is a
question which the nineteenth century
will pass on along with many others,
to the twentieth, and it is sure to be
discussed long and warmly before a
general agreement shall be reached.

The leading merchants of Mont
brook and surrounding towns are eI-
pressing themselves as being very
much in favor of the next legislature
passing a bill for a high state license
on the sale Of rife and pistol car
tridges. This, they claim, would stop
the sale of them in the small phos-
phate towns not under municipal gov
eminent.
These towns are greatly annoyed by
the reckless firing of pistols in the hands
of drunken phosphate hands, and in
many places it is unsafe TO be on the
streets after dark, especially on pay
day.
While it is possible that this meas
ure would not appeal forcibly to the
citizen not acquainted with the cir
eumstances around these phosphate

concerned that the legislature will
give it proper consideration and hearty

were Phillip Shaw and his "better
half, from the Lake Lafayette neigh

drunk. When they reached home in
evening a quarrel ensued between
them, and Shaw's wife seized ham
mer, which she used on her husbands
head, rendering him hors du combat.
When it was realized that Shaw was
seriously injured, he was carried back
to Tallahassee, where his wounds were
dressed by a physician. Shaw was
then taken back home, grew worse and
died next day. Minnie Shaw was ar

Florida has larger areas of fertile
lands and rich pastures than many
other states, and a climate where
larger returns for the same labor can
be had. These muck lands when
drained make the best of natural pas
lures; the hundreds of thousands of
cattle on the vast reclaimed area of the
Kissimmee valley demonstrates this
fact. Five million acres of land, equal
to the banks of the Nile in fertility,
all readily drained by gravity, requir-
ing no pumps or dikes, simply canals
to let the impounded water escape, can
be reclaimed by means of the proposed
canal from the upper st. Johns to tho
Indian river, and the soil is from four
to fifty feet deep. The truck growers
want the lands reclaimed.
