The dispensary law requires the pay
ment of the same amount of license by a
town dispensary as was paid by all whis-
key dealers in the town at the time the
disrensary law became effective. The
State cOntended that at the time of the
passage of the act creating the We
tumpka dispensary there were three
whiskey dealers in Wetumpka paying am
nual licenses of 500 each and consequent
~ the dispensary was due the State 5000.
The dispensary held that whereas there
We're three whskev dealers in Wetumpka

one Of these dealers was wholesaler
or iobber and that the spirit Of the law
comprehended its application only to re-
tail dealers.
The case was argued before the Board
of Compromise some time ago by We
tltmpka lawyers and was taken under
consideration the Board finally de-

Who is Mortally Wounded.

Cablegram from Marseilles. France.
A strange duel was fought lately In the
Marsrillcs zoo between the only adult
gorilla In Europe and his Keeper.

When he perceived that she undoubtedly
preferred his keeper. Francois became
more and more jealous and finally Jour
noux found it Impossible to approach the
gorilla especially IL Mime. Journoux was
In sight
TWO days ago Francois was 80 surly
and quiet that tho keeper thought he was
sick and entered the cage to comfort his
former pet
The gorilla Immediately sprung upon
the keeper. Journoux held a short tam
er's fork. which alone accounts for the
fight lasting so long.
II being dinner time, all the other keep
nrs had withdrawn to u distant shanty
Only three children witnessed the terri
bic fight and they were SO terrified they
failed to fetch help until JournouN had
succt eded in escaping from the cage.
Tho gorilla followed before the door
could be shut and the duel was continued
outside from one end of the building to
the other as Is shown by tho blood
stains Finally the children ran away
yelling.
BY tho time help arrived the gorilla had
been killed. The keeper was found with
one eve torn ont rapidly losing blood
from many other wounds and laboriously
trying to crawl away on all fours On"
hand had been compile taly chewcd of and
The lower lip and part of the chin had

Mr.. Samuel w. league has recently
returned from a trip through middle

with the progress the state is making
in those sections. He reports that in
the Newberry section on the Cum ner
road the Griffing Brothers Company
is putting out a 200-acre peach orchard,
that Mr.. GUNNER is settling a colony
OF Fins, and that in the town of
Alachua the citizens are building
brick store houses and $1,000 resi-
dences, aud find themselves able to
store AMI hold S2O0, 900 worth of cotton
for higher prices. That the towns of
Lake City, Live Oak, Madison, and
number OF others, are growing rich
and show every evidence of prosperity.
Mr.. league assigns the cause OF this
splendid condition of things to the
growing OF cotton, cattle and hogs.
He says if the Ocala merchants will
adopt the system of making advances

cOlOred farmers, on condition that
they will plant cotton, the town will
grow in leaps and bounds.
