CHARGED
WITH KILLING
HER INFANT is WOMAN
OF Fl. MYERS
Hortense. Bedford Arrested Here and
Taken to Lee County Jail-Crlme oc-
CURED about Two Weeks Ago-wife of
Joe BrItt's slayer.

Charged with murder Of her infant,
Hortense Bedford, Of TT. Myers, was
arrested here Wednesday.
Sheriff Tippins, Of Lee county came
for her and the young woman was TAX
en- to Fort Myers on the the noon train
Wednesday and placed in Jail there to
await trial
Although calling herself Bedford
her right nam0 is Brandon, she being
the wife OF the man who killed Joe
Britt in this city about year ago.
The child it said to have been born
about two weeks ago.
Neighbors living near the woman
heard her cries of distress one night,
and two days later she left Fort Myers,
coming to Nocatee.
From there she came to Arcadia, and
found employment at T. X. Dishong's,
where she remained until her arrest.
A man, cleaning closet, found the
body of the baby, where it had been
thrown. The sleeves Of a shirtwaist
had been tied around its neck, evil
IDENTIFY for the purpose OF choking it to
death.
Investigation pointed to the Bodi-
ford woman and her mother as the
guilty persons, and the old woman was
arrested at Punta Gorda as accessory
to the crime.
When the Bedford woman was ar
rested here and told that her mother
was already in jail, she declared her
mother had nothing to do with it,"
Questioned il it we're her child, she
told Sheriff Freeman he would find out
all about it later, but refused to say
more.
The woman is about 81 years old and
off airly good appearance. She seemed
quite self-possessed and took her ar
rest coolly.

CATTLE SHIPMENTS
Total Paid to W. II. Hooker Was . 1903,
334-over 5000 Head shipped.

Total Paid to W. II. Hooker Was = 1884,
334-over 5000 Head shipped.
Punta Gorda Herald: Capt. James
Mckay, Of Tampa, kindly furnishes
the Herald with complete exhi bit of
the cattle shipped by him during the
season justsclosed from Punta Gorda
to Cuba. All these cattle were fur
nished by W. H. Hooker, ;of Arcadia,
who received for them the total amount
of $1O3, 1884. The total number shipped
was 8, 400.
OF these, 3 POO were beef cattle, ,618
dry cows, 1927 COWS, 1927 calves, 356 two
year olds and $50 one-years.
The season began April 22and ended
Sept. II. There were seventeen car
goes averaging each 49s head. OF these,
the steamship Roanoke carried five
cargoes, the Gussie twelve.
Eleven cargoes were shipped to Car
denas, six to Havana.
The cattle stood the transportation
pretty well, but the profits realized
were not very fattering. Large ship
ments into Cuba OF cattle from Texas
and Central American ports have
caused decline in prices and conse-
quently the Florida shipper is left but
q small margin of profit.
The amount paid Mr.. Hooker was
distributed amongst several other large
cattle owners, from whom he bought
stock to supply Capt. Mckay.
This 100000 is possibly half the
amount which cattle have brought into
DeSoto county this year. Add to this
100000 worth OF oranges and a half
million worth OF phosphate, vegeta-
bles and naval stores, and it may read
lily be understood why DeSoto is the
most prosperous county in Florida.

PUTNAM co. is
STILL WET
DECENT ELEMENT DE-
FEATED BY 65 VOTES
"Manufacture Of Drunken Niggers" WIN
COMMUNICATING Situation where
Negroes Sway white sentiment-VoIu-
STA Goes Dry By a Large Majority.

The wet or dry election in Putnam
County was decided in favor OF con-
tinuance OF saloons by a majority Of
50, ond thus, in the language OF the
Palatka News, the business OF "manu-
factoring drunken niggers" is unre-
strained.
The negroes Of Palatka were active
factors in the campaign for the wet
side, and indeed, 1t was stated that the
leading arguments for that cause ap-
pearing in print we're made by me-
gro.
At any time 1t is regarded as a mis-
fortune that negroes should dominate,
but how appalling that white people
should permit themselves to be so
swayed in adjustinga moral question,
and allow the blacks to debase a COM
munity.
In Volusia County the liquor ques-
ton was before the people Wednesday
and the election resulted in prohibit
ton, which the county has been for
several years.

Montana Man shows Latest Thing in
Vegetables.
Great Falls, Mont, Sept. 28.-At the
county fair, which opened here Mon
day there is one exhibition that the
inventor calls vineless potatoes.
Some three months ago, the discov-
erer Of a new process for producing
potatoes, announced that he could
grow potatoes in fIom two to three
months in special preparation, in lay
ers on top of each other and without
vines.
His experiments have been conduct
ed in box eight feet square. In the
bottom of this bow layer OF his pre-
paration is placed to the depth Of three
inches and number Of potatoes plant
ed therein. Another layer OF three
inches is scattered over these potatoes
aid more potatoes planted in the usual
way and so on until the frame is full.
He claims that the box may be built
to almost any height with layer after
layer Of potatoes without effecting the
producing quality Of his composition,
and that he can have new potatoes for
market in any climate at any time OF
the year.

MONTHLY STRAWBERRIES
Law of Nature Coquered and New Plant
Given TO World,

Orange, N. j., Sept. 28.-Fresh
strawberries each month in the year
from the same plant is the latest won
der produced by Henry Joralemon, a
Hilton strawberry grower. Mr.. Joral-
mon. who recently returned from Cali
tornia, where he compared notes with
Burbank, the plant wizard, says his
new monthly bearing plant Is practi-
cal, and may be successfully cultivated
by any one.
The ultimate result will be to place
fresh strawberries on the table at
Christmas as well as in June, all from
the same plant. II was because he
wanted a certain hardy strawberry
plant TO cross with his present plant
that he spent the summer in the West
and journeyed 1900 miles north Of
Seattle. II was In this chilly climate
that Mr.. Joralemon found the plant he
sought.

CASE OF MRS. MATAES


Who Was EnJoined from Teaching school
at Turkey Creek.
IL having been announced that an
Injunction had been sued out against
Mrs. L. B. Mathes, one OF the plaintiffs
in the celebrated stetson libel case, TO
prevent her teaching in the public
school at Turkey Creek, In IIillsbor-
ough county, and knowing that Major
Alex. st. Clair-Abrams was Mrs Math-
es' attorney in the libel suit, the JAG q
sonville Metropolis requested some
information from him IN regard to the
trouble.
The major stated that while he was
not Mrs. Mathes' attorney in this last
case, he had been kept fully advised Of
the whole proceedings. He declared
Mrs. Mathes had been subjected to a
most systematic bounding down and
persecution now for several months.
Detectives, he said, had been sent to
where she was earning a living By
teaching in North Cars lima her letters
had been tempered with and efforts
had been made to stop her teaching
school in North Carolina. Owing to
the illness Of her husband the burden
OF supporting him, her children and
herself, was placed upon her. Their
home being near Turkey Creek, in
Hillsborough county, she sought to
teach in the public school there, and
was Endorsed for the position by an
overwhelming majority Of the patrons
Of the school, and receiving a teach
ers' certificate was appointed to teach
the school. As soon as this was known,
strenuous efforts were made TO prevent
the lady earning living. The detec-
tives renewed their work and certain
OF the patrons OF the school we're in
duced to start an agitation against her.
Finally the county superintendent Of
schools suspended her certificate, but.
the State board promptly reversed his
action,
The effort" said Major Abrams,
''is now being made by Injunction to
prevent. Mrs. Mathes earning living.
IL IS not pretended that since the Stet-
son affair arose there has been the
slightest improperly in the life Of the
prosecuted lady. She is admittedly
one Of the best and most efficient
teachers in the State. Her husband Is
absolutely invalided and is unable to
earn a dollar for the support OF his
family. Mrs. Mathes' only occupation
is that OF teacher; by her labor she
has to support herself, her husband
and their two children. Nothing more
unmanly has occurred in this State
than the persecution andl bounding
down OF Mrs. Mathes. Afiidavits have
been made by persons not cognizant Of
single fact, but based solely on rumor
Of events, said to have transpircd sew
eral years ago"
