Mrs. Marian A. Gilmore, the veneer
able mother of MIR. F, c. Gilmore, died
at the residence of her son in Tallahas-
see August %, at 4 o'clock p. m, after
an illness of two weeks.
In the death of this beloved mother
in Israel the community is bereft of one
of it's elect women; the church loses one
of its brightest ornaments; and our
worthy fellow citizen, in the loss of his
mother, has the sympathy of all classes
of our citizens.
Mrs. Gilmore was native Of Nova
Scotia, and for the past FIVE years or
more has made her home with her son,
where the unremitting care and tender
attentions so lavishly bestowed upon
her made pleasant the declining days of
this excellent Christian lady. She was
always devoted to the church and the
happiness of others, and her wise and
loving counsel will be lovingly cherished
by the many who received Il. She was
a most striking illustration of the hon
est Christian character, and her long
intimacy with heavenly things explains
her great anxiety, so often expressed,
to depart and be with Christ
The infirmities incident to old age, re-
sulting in "heart failure" were the
immediate cause of her death. She was
81 years Of age.
The weary wheels Of life are sull.
And she sleeps In peace"

A Tribute 70 the LlYln6.

Colonel Raymond Cay, whom Leon
county stills claims as her own, al
though he is now engaged in large bus
mess interests in Jacksonville and re-
sides there, has been spending some
days this week with his brothers, Mr..
Chas A. and David Cay and his hosts
of friends, and visiting his old and loved
stamping grounds. Thursday he took
a little run to st. Marks and we pre-
dict he will hardly return east before
visiting pleasant Panacea, a place he
loves so well and where he has spent so
many pleasant hours hunting wild
geese, ducks and other game and catch
ing fish. The colonel is a strong be-
lever in the health-giving and curing
qualities of Panacea Springs. Every
Tallahasseean is always pleased to see
Colonel Raymond Cay, for his heart is
as big as the man and he scatters sun
shine all along the way, by his warm
friendly greetings to everyone he meets.
His friends are greatly pleased at the
noted Improvement in his health May
he live long and continue TO prosper.

COMMISSIONER
R. HUDSON BURR
DenOunees an L. and n. Omcial az
the DeAdwOOd Convention.

At session of the convention of rail-
road commissioners held last week at
Deadwood, South Dakota, Hon. X.
Hudson Burr, member Of the conven-
ton and of the Florida Railroad Com
mission, made a rather sensational at
tack upon Hon. Walker D. Hines, vice
president, and formerly counsel of the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad Com
pany.
Mr.. Burr said that Mr.. Hines made
sworn statement of the valuation of
the property of the Louisville & Nash
vile Railroad to the Comptroller of the
State of Florida for the purpose of
taxation for the year ending June 80,
1902. lie said Mr.. Hines later made
statement to the Railroad Commission
of Florida on the value of the property
for the same year for rate-makinR pur-
poses, and which was much greater.
Later, Mr. Burr says, Mr.. Hines made
another sworn statement OF the value
of the property of the same year when
applying for temporary injunction in
the United States District Court to en-
join the commissioners from enforcing
a reduction in the passenger rates,
which was double the statement made
to the commissioners or to the Comp
troller Mr.. Burr asked the National
Railway Commissions to not give any
credit to statements made by Mr.,
Hines before the committees OF Con-
gress.
Benjamin +. Chadbourne, Railroad
Commissioner of Maine, made heated
reply to the charges.
Mr.. HINES REPLIES.
When the news Of Mr.. Burr's denun-
citation reached Louisville, KY, Mr..
Hines was sought and made the follow
Ing reply to Mr. Burr's attack:
"Mr. Burr's statement is simply a
deliberate Misrepresentation. While
Nashville Railroad swore to the COM
pany's Florida tax return and the val
ues stated were high, when considered
in connection with the company's small
earnings in Florida. Afterwards It be-
came necessary for the company to en-
Join the Florida Railroad Commission
from enforcing an unreasonable low
passenger rate on its already unremu-
nerative line IN Florida, and swore tO
the bill filed TO secure that injunction.
1t was my opinion and the opinion Of
the company's counsel in the case that
a Railroad Commission ought not to be
permitted to reduce rates below point
where they would yield fair return on
the cost of reproducing this property,
and, therefore, it's fair value, was a
stated sum, and this sum was very
much larger than the value had fixed
upon the property for the purpose Of
taxation.
"No one contends it is proper TO as
sess for taxation a very unremunera-
tive property at what it would cost TO
reproduce it. We did claim that the
bin so stated, that for the purpose Of
testing the Railroad Commissions
rates, the cost of reproduction was the
proper value The two values were
necessary on very different bases, and
there was no Inconsistency between

The annual report of the Comptroller
shows that the disbursements from the
General Revenue Fund Of the State Of
Florida for the year 1904 amounted to
$616, 657. SO. In your communication
you state that the appropriations made
by the Legislature of 1905, to be paid
from the General Revenue Fund for
the next year amount to 1888, Ill co.
This being so, the disbursements au-
thorized for the next year, amount to
$25l, 5l3. ii in excess of the disburse-
ments made during the year 1904. The
State tax levy for the General Reven-
ue Fund for the year 1904 was one half
of one mill, and there was balance Of
$3.50, 418.3 to the credit of this fund on
January /, 1905.
If the appropriations made for the
next year were not sogreatly in excess
of those for the past year the tax levy
could remain the same as it was for
1904; but the unusual and extraordi-
nary appropriations made by the Leg
islature of 1905, rs shown by your
communication, makes it necessary to
have more money in the General Reve-
nue. Fund to meet these appropriations
No new sources from which 60 derive
revenue for this fund have been provi-
ded by law, 1t is therefore imperative
that the tax levy of 1904 DE increased
to meet the expenditures required to be
made by the Legislature.
The levy of one and one half mills
for the year 1905, as authorized by
Chapter 1874, Acts of 1905, to provide
for the appropriations required by law
to be paid from the General Revenue
Fund is hereby directed.
The increase in the taxable property
in the State and the confidence felt that
the good people of the State will aid in
securing the benefits of the Pension
Fund to only those who are justly en-
titled to it, seem to justify a reduction
of the tax levy for that fund is author
i; e by law.
BY Virtue of authority vested in me
by Chapter 1915, Acts of 1905, | hereby
reduce the tax levy for the Pension
Fund to three mills on the dollar, for
the year 1905, and direct that only such
levy of three mills shall be made and
collected for such fund for the year
1905.

Tallahassee, Fla, July 10, 1905.
Hon. N. B. Broward, Governor of Flor
ida:
Sir The Legislature has authorized a
tax levy of Il mills for general revenue
purposes tor each of the years 1905 and
1900. The tax levy authorized by the
Legislature for 1904 was mills. In an
otncial communication TO the Governor
on June 80, 1914, l reported:
The revenues that will be derived
during the coming year for general rev.
enue purposes OF the State, from IL
censes. interest on State deposits, sale
of fertilizer stamps, redemption OF tax
sides taxation, together with an in
crease in the property valuation on the
assessment rolls OF the different cOun-
ties IN the State for 1904 will, in my
opinion, be sufficient to warrant the re-
duction of the tax levy to meet the cur
rent expenses OF the State, and TO pay
the interest on the bonded debt of the
State. from three (3) mills TO one ~
null on the dollar for the wear 1904, pro-
vlded APPROPRIATIONS to be maze by the
Legislature of 1906 are kept within
reasonable bounds and the stnct econ
omy now enforced in all OF the State
departments IS adhered to-
Upon this report Governor Jennings
ordered the tax levy for general reve-
nue. purposes reduced from the mills
fixed by the Legislature of 1903 to one
half OF mill TOR the year 1904. This
levy furnished ample funds for the pay
ment of all demands, and on January /,
1905, there was balance of S289, AID. 81
in this 1und, as against 1886, 3OO. al on
January l, 1904, and $229, 042 26 on Jan
uary /, 1903. This balance, being very
largely in excess of previous yearly bal
ances, justified the reduction ordered by
Governor Jennings, and the general
revenue fund, containing $3.50, 4Io. 81 on
January /, 1915, was ample to meet all
usual Appropriations, including natural
increases in State expenses.
But the Legislature of 1905 has made
a large number of unusual and extraOr-
binary appropriations to be paid from
the general revenue fund during the
next twelve months. Among them are
the following:
