STATE. NEWS IN TABLOID

The Avery Jim Crow street car
law has been declared uncOnstitu-
tional by Judge Call of the Jackson
Vile Circuit Court in chambers. The
part of the law declared to be uncon-
stitutional is section 7 of the law,
which is in reality Senate amend
ment offered by Senator Blount. An
effort will be made to have the su-
preme court pass on the law before
it's adjournment for the summer.

Walter L. Taylor, the young man
convicted of murderous assault on
Congressman w. b. Lamar, has
commenced to serve his five year
sentence in the penitentiary. The
pardon board refused to interfere,
though 300 Tallahassee ladies plead

politics tempered with this dose of
mercy.
The State Board of Education and
the State Board of Central held a
joint meeting in Governor Broward' $
office last Monday and established
the state school of Technology at
Lake City. The joint boards also
appointed board of trustees for the
new state school and turned over to
this board lot of the old state uni
versity property and equipment at
Lake City, ain lieu of the $4,000, so
the report says, provided for by the
Buckman bill, to be use for the es-
tablishment of a chronological insti-
tute at Lake City" AS the Buck
man bill provides for the establish
ment of no such institute, there is
going to be strong demand in all
parts of the state for some explana-
lions from the governors office.
Technologically speaking this last
move has the appearance OF graft.

WILL CONSTRUCT
WATER SYSTEM.

The Palatkn Board of Bond rrus-
tees held an important meeting on
Monday with all the members pres
ent.
The matter of bonds voted for
water works was informally dis
cussed and it was decided to sell all
that remained of this issue at once.
A resolution was introduced and
unanimously passed to the effect
"that the balance of the water works
bonds be sold at once and that the
board proceed Immediately to con-
struct city water system
The News learns that large
amount of the water bonds have al
ready been sold,
The city sewer system is now near
ly completed, leaving the streets in
II badly torn up condition. There is
n strong sentiment in favor of paving
certain streets as soon as practicable,
and the bond trustees feel that the
water service should be laid while
the streets are torn up and before
any paving is done. Hence the res
olutiOn for an immediate construc-
ton of the water system.

Thieves effected an entrance into
the G. s. & f. ticket agents window
at the Union Depot last Monday
night, secured tickets and cash and
have gotten away with the plumber.

$45. .2G in silver and other coin. 1t is
not customary to leave money in the

argued that with two watchmen on
