BRYAN AND JENNINGS,
The Probable Nominee for President
and FIOrida's Coming Governor
Relatives.

Mr.. II. A. Jennings of Tampa, president
of the Tampa Naval Stores Company,
spent yesterday in the city. Mr.. Jen-
nings is well-known among the business
people here having been prominent in the
naval stores business in this section for
several years. He was a delegate from
Hillsboro county to the recent Florida
State Convention, which nominated Hon
William S. Jennings for Governor.
Mr. Jennings said that probably he is a
relative of the nominee for Governor, but
the relationship is 50 distant that he has
not taken the trouble TO look it up.
I'VE both come from the same stock,
the Jenrlrgs family of Culpepper county,
Virginia" said Mr.. Jennings. William
s. Jennings came to Florida from Illinois,
of which state he is a native, but both
his father and his mother were from Cul-
pepper county.
That is where William Jennings Bry-
ans relation to William S. Jennings comes

also of Virginia stock on both sides the
house He is a son of Judge Silas Bryan
OF Virginia, who removed TO Southern hi
nois before the war. Bryan comes BY his
Democracy honestly. lie has good South
crn blood in him"
"Bryan's visit TO Judge Jennings at his
home at Brooksville last February UNI
doubtcdly had a good deal TO do with the
latter's nomination" said Mr.. Jennings.
There were some good men in the field
for the office, but the visit of the Demo
cratic leader. who is also his first cousin,
aroused a sentiment in his favor that
carried him 90 victory. The nomination
is practically equivalent 10 an election.
Hereafter Florida will have the primary
system-not the Georgia, but the Caro-
lima. This means that there will be no
more conventions, but that che primaries
will be conducted in the same manner as
the state elections. each county simply
forwarding its returns as is done In d
regular election"

wonderful strides OF improvement since

WeII-Deserved Penalty.
Thomas Baker, colored, was on trial in
the Superior Court yesterday for forgery.
Judge Falligant disregarded the jury's
recommendation 40 punishment as for a
misdemeanor and sentenced Baker to a
term of four years in the penitentiary.
Baker was charged with having passed
an order upon the treasurer of the Cen
trail Railway, signed by Jordan Miller,
and with the signature witnessed and
guaranteed by r. G. Fetzer, Jr, paymas.
ter of the Central, for $50. So 1t was al
legged in the indictment that the signature
of Mr.. Fetzer was forged and that the
defendant knew it to be forged when he
passed the order through the bank and
obtained the money for which 1t called.
Bakers defense was an exceedingly slim
one consisting largely of indignant dc
malls, but failing altogether to account for
his possession, and use of the order in
any way that would have permitted the
belief that he did not know it to be a
forgery.
Nobody could understand just why the
jury accompanied it's verdict of guilty
with a recommendation 40 punishment as
for misdemeanor. Certainly Judge Fall
ligant could not understand it, for he dis
regarded the recommendation complete
ly and sentenced Baker to a term of four
years in the penitentiary, which he richly
deserved.
Sam Harris, who had been indicted by
the grand jury for assault with intent
to murder Jake Manigault, was found
guilty of stabbing not in his own de-
Tense. Sam had made a vigorous attempt
to carve Manigault into small bits with
a knife. but as the jury could not make
up its collective mind as to Sans in
tent in making the assault, il gave him
the benefit of the doubt, and found him
guilty of the lesser grade of the offense.
Judge Falligant imposed a sentence of
twelve months on the chaingang.
Dan Singleton, another of the defend
ants tried, had also been indicted by the
grand jury for assault with intent TO
murder. Dan tried to shoot Ben Fields
with revolver and came too near end
