Work On the Canal.

The Florida Coast Line Canal and
Transportation company have commenced
work in earnest, having purchased in
Beaufort, S. G., two large dredges. VIM
bee and South Carolina. The Wimbee,
which was taken in at St. Augustine, has
finished the cut at the divide" where
the tide water from Matanzas inlet and
st. Augustine inlet meet. This cut was
something over 1900 feet in length, go
feet wide and now has depth of seven
feet at low water. This dredge has also
made a cut of about the same length and
width In the Summer Haven river.
The dredge South Carolina was taken
in at Mosquito bar and has been at work
between Daytona and Ormond, the first
cut being 5000 feet long.
Both dredges have been fitted with sur
face condensers. Having been used in
fresh water before being brought here,
necessitated rather extensive repairs or
changes to be made for use in salt water
The machinery is of the same size and
make as that of the two large dredges
formerly built at New Smyrna by the
company, but the hulls are very much
stronger and heavier. The South Caro-
lina's draught is 8! feet and the VIM
bees feet.
Work will be pushed night and ia y
until the two dredges meet, as double
crews will be placed on them shortly.
Mr.. f. NJ. Walker, treasurer, and Mr..
Geo. F. Miles, general manager, were on
tour of inspection of route and dredges
last week, leaving for the north on the

Arrested Upon Suspicion.

Sheriff Brown, who has been constantly
on the alert for clue and evidence
pointing to the murderer or murderers of
the old negro woman, Ada Wells, who
was killed last month at this place, ar
rested Luly Smith, Albert Willis and
Ben Watson Saturday, as evidence that
points strongly to the suspicion of two OF
these parties had been secured. These
men are kept apart in the county Jail
with no means of communicating with
each other and no one is allowed 10 in
terview them. They tell conflicting stor-
les in regard TO the affair. The time for
a preliminary hearing has not yet been
set The sheriff is entitled to the moral
support and genuine thanks of our peo
pie for the lively interest he has taken in
the case, as il will have a tendency to
stop the beasvy misconduct that has
been going on IN certain parts of this
town recently. Whether the guilty par
ties receive their punishment or not, it
will be timely warming to others, and it
is to he hoped that the guilty parties will
be convicted. 1t will not be the fault of
the states officials if justice fails in this
instance

Primary Amendments.

Hon. Jno. NJ. Caldwell, editor of the
Jasper News and one of the most popular
Democrats in Florida, thus gives his
views on the primary and the necessary
amendments to improving it:
The amendments necessary to the pri-
mary election law of our state are, in my
opinion
First-For tine state to pay the expenses
of the primary. This would give the
poor men an equal chance with the rich
to become candidates for office
SecOnd-Have only one primary cleo
ton for all political parties, instead of
primary election for each party as at
present, and have all political parties en-
tering the primary represented on all the
boards of inspectors. THIS would reduce
the expense and secure fairness in the
conduct of the election.
Third-Let a plurality vote nominate
the candidates. a plurality vote elects to
office in general election, where more
than two candidates are running for the
same office, and see no good reason why
the rules of primary should be more
rigid than those governing general cleo
ton. Besides, experience has demon
strated that the candidate receiving a
plurality vote in the first primary is al
most sure to receive a majority vote in
the second primary. And then again it
would save many dollars of expense.
Fourth-Let the primary election be
held not more than ten or fifteen days
before the general election. This would
shorten the campaign and reduce politi-
cal agitation.
! Fifth-Iet the legal registration of vo-
! tiers precede the primary election. This
would render unnecessary the trouble
and expense of registration by executive
. committees.
I SiXth-Permit no one To announce his
candidacy for office more than three
months prior to the primary election, un-
der penalty of being disqualified from
/ holding office for the ensuing two years.
! This would reduce political agitation, give
people time to say their prayers, gather
their crops and do some work between
the campaigns. As it now l., months be-
/ fore one general election comes oil candi-
dates are announced for another, more
than two years hence. If this provision
was embodied III statute it would give a
long-suffering people a blessed and much
needed rest.
