MAY SERVE TERMS IN JAIL.
Comment on the Case of the Cherry Tree
Swlndlers.
Especial to News and Observer)

Especial to News and Observer
of the Cherry Tree swindlers Judge Boyd
expressly states that al! that has been
agreed to is that upon the payment of the
$4,000 he will not send the defrauders
to the penitentiary, and il is expected
they will all serve terms in Jail. There
is considerable comment Oh the contrast
between the fate of these wholesale de-
frauders of hard working women and
that of a fellow convicted yesterday of
an attempt to defraud the rich and pow
erful government out CT a small pengion.
He got fifteen years i'll the pententiary,
while the average restitution of she Cher
ry Tree-ers, if they ever refund $4,000
of the money they raked in, will be a lit
tie over 81 800 each.

MR.. HEARST FOR CONGRESS.

The Democrats of New York city have
done themselves honor in nominating
Hon. William R. Hearst editor of the
American and Journal, for Congress. His
father was long Democratic Senator from
California. The young man inherited q
large fortune. Instead of aping the
ways OF many rich young men, who go
in for a good time, Mr.. Hearst bought
the New York Journal, then mort
bund sheet, and has made it one of the
great newspapers of the world. He
founded the Chicago American which at
once took place with Chicago's strong
newspapers. He continues to publish the
San Francisco Examiner, founded by his
father. These papers are all progressive,
live and leaders in their sections.
Mr.. Hearst's was the only New York
daily that supported the Democratic Ma
tional ticket in 1895 and in 1900. For
that, certain men who think that the
best way to show their Democracy is to
vote the Republican ticket, will never
forgive him. His papers are always for
the right of the people to rule, always
against trust robbery, even when prac-
ticed by Tammany men, and in many
ways they has rendered this country great
service at an opportune time. II Mr..
Hearst chooses political career, it may
be predicted that he will be successful
and that he will not let the possession
Of wealth lead him to take the side OF
illegal combinations created to Cypress
the many.

The report from Washington that the
President told the negro delegation he
heartily disapproyed of the efforts OF
certain Republicans in the South to ex-
clude the negroes from participation in
politics" has been troubling the doodleS
very much. Two years ago they acted
as if they thought white man was as
good as negro IL he behaved himself.
This year they have been telling white
folks that the negro isn't fit to vote.
The latest from the President has made
them dumb. They are in favor of negro
domination or "agin'' it just as Roosevelt
says. and they are praying that he will
take one side or the other and let them
know quick. In the meantime, like B'rer
Rabbit. they are layin low and sayin'

Lamar was Generous.

A despe rate attack was made Mon
day morning about 10 o'clock on At
torney-General Lamar, the nominee
of the recent primary for Congress
in the Third district, in his temporary
office, in the northern part of Talla-
hassee, by Walter l.. Taylor, who
was in the late primary as clerk at
Precinct No. IA, in Leon county,
where charges of fraud were brought
by Lamar's friends. Taylor was ac-
companied by his father, who lives
near Lloyd, in Jefferson County.
Taylor demanded of Lamar his sig
niture to II paper disclaiming any re-
Elections upon him. Lamar stated
he would leave for Monticello on the
noon train to return tomorrow, and
would then consider the matter and
give him written statement of his
position in the matter. Taylor again
demanded an instant signature.
This Lamar declined. Taylor then
assaulted him, striking him several
heavy blows with a stick. Lamar
was sitting in his chair. Lamar
arose and closed with him. After
pressing Taylor across the room Tay-
Ior broke loose, drawing pistol and
presenting it quickly at Lamar. Be-
fore he could shoot Lamar took the
pistol from him, Lamar called in his
clerk, Walter Taylor's uncle, the
father following. Lamar declined
to kill Taylor, stating SO to the clerk
and handed the pistol to him. The
clerk and father were not in the
room during the first part of the
difficulty.-T. U. and Citizen.

Editor PALATKA NEWS:
There certainly was great surprise
to see in your last issue, that John
P. Wall, now comes out and begs for
votes; that he is satisfied Putnam
county does not want a dispensary.
This he must have known long ago,
but by any sort of dodge was de-
termined to get votes and have his
own way. The people should not
forget this, but should shelve him
for all time. His promise, if feelect-
ed, if carried out, are no more than
Mr.. Chesser will do. There is no
doubt in the minds of many, that
deal was had by encouraging third
candidate to come out, and then use
a subterfuge, in the way of no fence
to gain votes. There was trickery
in it, and every voter should go to
the polls and bury Wall deep down.
Read the article by voter; it is to the
point and will carry weight. 1t
looks as If Mr.. Wall intended to rep
resent us, in any event; he seems to
be calling on every friend to pray
for him, and help him, surely this
proves that the man is after the
office; not the office for the man.
There is no good reason why any an
ii should vote different, and we
should gain many votes as the stock
dodge cannot be injected. w.
