A great many complaints have
been made lately because of the seine
fishing which it is alleged is going on
in Lake Crescent at the present time,
and which, it is generally believed is
unlawful.
Some criticism has also been in
dulged directed at the sheriff for his
seeming lack of interest in putting
an end to the work and his orders to
the local deputy not to make any ar
rests without warrant.
1t appears also that one or two
complaints have been lodged with
Judge Coke at Palatka, who has
advised that convictions could not
be obtained under the present fish
and game law.
One of the fishermen has stated to
the News that he had seen the Off
cials and that they had advised him
that there was no law to prevent his
fishing. This same man also assures
the News that he is using four inch
mesh, which, under the law is not
prohibited.
Upon investigation the News finds
that seine fishing is going on without
opposition from the officers all along
the st. Johns river, i'll this country.
This is so because of the fact that
several cases had been brought be-
fore Justice of the Peace Rowton and
County Judge Coke at Palatka, and
convictions secured, but which, on
appeal to the circuit court, were dis
missed on technicalities. Owing to
these facts the Judge and the sheriff,
convinced that convictions could not
be secured, have done nothing
further to prevent fishing during the
closed season.
When the News called on Sheriff
Howell Monday evening that official
stated that he had not moved in the
matter because he had been advised
that convictions could not be Sc
cured, but that as he had been ap-
preached regarding violations he
had made an appointment for Tues
day morning with States Attorney
Calhoun who was to go over the law
with him and that if that official ad-
vised it, he would began SYSTEM
attic move looking toward the en-
forcement of the law.

A Big Deal.

The Deem Bros. Lumber Company
doing Il big saw mill business on
Dead Lake at the head of Lake Cres-
cent has been transferred to A. T..
Sauires of Grant, Mich. The deal
includes large and well equipped
saw mill and several thousand acres
of standing yellow pine and cypress.
The Deem Bros, who are also in the
naval stores business, retain the land
and turpentine rights.
The purchaser, A. 7. Squires, with
his son, A. II. Squires, jr., of Pitts
burg, and w. l.. Stone of Fremont, :,
Mich, have been negotiating for the
property for some time, but the final
transfer was not made until Thurs
day last.
What changes, if any, will take
place in the conduct of the mill is
not known, as it was impossible to
see the new owners, who are even
now on the ground and in charge. 1t
is rumored that they will put in a
larger equipment and will engage
more exclusively in lumber cutting.
1t is also stated that they will bring
a number of men here from the north
and that some families will seek res
idenee here,

Death of Mrs. f. C. Zoll.

Mrs. f. G. ZOll who spent the win
ter of l9Ol-02 here, died of consump-
at her home in Waverly, Neb.,
April Goth, after several months ill
ness. The Waverly Watchman de-
votes nearly column to an obituary
notice of the deceased lady, who
stood high in the regard of the peo-
pie of her home town. Her death
will bring feeling of sadness to the
people of Crescent City, most of
whom had come to know and esteem
her highly during the several
months of her residence here in
quest of health.
Mrs. Zoll was q cousin of Mrs. J.
l.. Overstreet and it was through her
influence that she was induced to
come to Crescent City. For time
after her arrival here she seemed
poorly, but gradually, from daily eX-
ercise in the open air and sunshine,
she seemed to gain strength until
finally she was able to go about as
much rs any one. When she left
here in the spring Mrs. zoll had
gained some 20 pounds in weight
and seemed the picture Of health.
She was filled with life and joyous
ness and the feeling was general that
her health had been established.
1t is more than likely that had she
remained here the News would not
now be engaged in the sad duty of
chronicling her death at the age of
27 years. 1t was because of her ap-
parently restored health that the
news of her serious illness came,
and now the story of her death will
come, as such a shock to her friends
here, who, with one accord will drop
a tear to her memory and watt
feeling of sympathy to her family in
their great bereavement.

The Tall Hat In France.

The tall hat, variously called "chim-
ney pot" "stovepipe," "cylinder" and
what not, became fashionable in Paris
in 1890. soon after the death-of Frank
lin, in whose honor it was known as
"chapeau franklin" In spite of num-
berless changes of style, it has main
tanned it's ground ever since, unexpect-
ed as such result would have seemed
at its first introduction. For time this
style of hat was considered revolution
ary in Germany and Russia. Any one
wearing a "cylinder" was liable to pun
ishment, but the evil reputation soon
passed away, and the tall, stiff hat
the ugliest head covering that was ever
worn and the most ridlculed, outlives
all other styles,

country, according to the United States
Commissioner of Education Harris, is
slowly but steadily decreasing. In

that it does not pay well enough.

THE VALUE OF FARM LABOR

Agriculture in the South has always
been retarded by the character of the
labor available for farm work; and on
the other hand efficient labor has been
kept off the farms by the low rate of
wages; and the condition now is, that
only our best farmers can pay the price
demanded by efficient laborers, and
they cannot afford to employ any other
sort, because no other sort is profitable.
Therefore we concede that this condI-
ton, and the reasons for it are very
much complicated. A progressive far
mer who has a few male progeny of
suitable age is fortunate, and his sue
cess in farming is assured. He can
adopt the best methods and employ the
mos efficient labor-saving implements,
and with his own labor, and with that
of pair of active, intelligent sons,
properly aided by an estimable daugh-
ter or two, and an inestimab,e wife, do
more and far better work than half a
dozen average farm hands, whom the
employer must continually watch to see
whether the work is done right, or done
wrong. The only kind of labor profit
able on farm is the same kind that is
profitable elsewhere, and that is intelli-
gent labor, and that kind cannot be had
for the ordinary price of negro farm
labor.
