Drowning in the Oekloekonss.

A telephone message the first of the
week conveyed the shocking news of a
disaster that brings sorrow to one of
Thomas county's most prominent fami-
lies Ethel, the ll-year-old daughter of
Mr.. Kedar p Wight, and Alden, his g.
year-old son, were drowned yesterday
afternoon in the OcklOckonee river, near
Walden's bridge
1t is the annual custom of the Wight
brothers of Cairo TO give the little one g
of their families a picnic each year.
This event is eagerly looked forward TO
by the children, and they were a happy
crowd when yesterday and picnic day
came. The ladies Of the families were
not present, but Messrs. X. P, ]. B.,
w, and Henry Wight and other mem
bers of the families took the little ones
to Walden's bridge, on the OcklOckonee,
for a days fun.
All went well until afternoon. At
that time Ethel and little Laleah, the
daughter Of j. B. Wight, were in wad-
ing and got beyond their depth. They
screamed for help, and the first to re-
spond was Alden, X. p. Wight's young
son. The heroic little fellow made a
brave endeavor to rescue his sister and
cousin. In his endeavor he went too
far and lost his own life. The agonized
parents rushed into the river, and little
Laleah was saved and the other bodies
brought out. All were unconscious and
only the one could be resuscitated.
Physicians were hastily summoned from
Cairo, but their endeavors and skill
could not restore the life that had fed
The family Is one Of the most highly
respected families in all South Georgia
Their connections in ThOmasville and
Thomas county are numerous, and all
bow with them IN sorrow at their grief.

Is Il Not RspudiAtiOnf
70 tie People Of Florida: !:

To the People Of Florida:
A majority of the Senate judiciary
Committee, composed of some of the
ablest attorneys in the State, presented
to the Senate bill to allow S. /. WALES
and the estate Of William X. Beard to
sue in the States court on the contract
made by Governor Drew, under seal,
with S. l. Wales. The recommendation
of the Senate committee was defeated
by one vote. That committee had be-
fore it the incOntrovertible evidence
that in the prosecution of the claim
against the United States by me, from
July z, 1879, until its payment to Flor
ida, July l, 1902, that my expenses in
the matter had been about $55, 900, and
the State had not paid dollar (for ex-
penses), but had received in bonds and
money July /, 1902, the sum of l,089,-
l5S. Sc; so that, up to date, the status of
the whole matter is as follows:
The Legislature authorized Governor
Drew to make q contract, all subsequent
Governors and Legislatures up TO the
time that the money due the State was
safely in her treasury ratified that con-
tract. That contract was made with
myself; was complied with according to
its letter and its spirit, in that the State
has received her due. The Legislature
Of 1903 offered me $l2, 500, saying, in
effect, | should receive no larger sum.
That amount declined. Il came before
the Legislature which has just adjourned
and asked to be allowed to submit INV
case to the courts of this State las ar
bitrator); that, too, has been refused.
Is that repudiation of the obligations
of a contract or not?
! have the honor to be,
Very respectfully,
s. |. WALES.

sent c0mmunisationt 20 the justices Of
the supreme court requesting that they
send him an opinion advising } i'm 'if
under the provision of such ettiOl of
the Constitution (Sec. v, Art. IID a
! Senator or Member of the House Of
Representatives during the time for
which he was elected may be appointed
by the Governor, q member Of the
Board Of Control created by law during
such time, whose term of office is def

ers and duties, under the law, subject
70 control and supervision of the State
Board Of Education, consist in part in
locating, controlling and managing
State institutions of learning, but who
are paid only actual expenses while in
the performance of prescribed duties?"
After deciding that the Board of Con-
troll was an Office within the meaning
of the Constitution of the State the
court rendered an unanimous opinion,
to which they all affixed their sigma
lures, that no Senator or Member of
the House Of Representatives be a
member of the Board of Control, crea-
ted by the last Legislature. The court
concludes as follows:
Sec. 8, Article III of our Constitution
provides as follows: "No senator or
member Of the House of Representa-
tives shall, during the time for which
he was elected, be appointed or elected
to any civil Office under the COnstitu-
ton Of this State, that has been Gre
ated, or the emOlouments whereof shall
have been increased during such time.
The purpose Of this provision of the
organic law was to put 1t beyond the
powers Of the legislative branch Of the
government to create official positions
to be filled by its members, thereby re-
moving the temptation Of an improvi~
dent or unwise creation of Offices not
expressly provided for by the COnstitu-
ton. Under its provisions we think
that it is clear that no member of either
house of the Legislature is eligible to
the incumbency of any civil Office Of
this State that is created during any
part Of the time for which such mem
ber was elected, and that such ineligi-
bility continues during the entire time
for which such member was elected,
and that such member can not render
himself eligible during such time by re-
signing his legislative membership
Our opinion is that you as Governor
can not constitutionally appoint any
member Of either house Of the present
legislative branch of the government
to membership on such Board of Con-
troll, since the Constitution clearly for
bids their being appointed to any such
civil Office created during the time for
which they were elected as members of
such Legislature. State Elk rel. Childs

Another matter which the members
of the Legislature may find some en-

that no provision was made for the

not because it was inherently wrong to
encourage the spirit of competition
among producers by the Cffer Of prizes
and premiums for the best products at

cial condition Of the State is such as to

Men OF Japanese Cruiser Went Down

The story of the loss of the Japanese
cruiser Takasago in December last,

OF Rojestvensky's fleet, is a military
classic.
After the Takasago struck a mine
and began to sink, the crew assembled
in perfect order on the upper deck.

sea and death. Captain Ishibashi or
dered every man to use a life belt.
and directed that no one jump over.

crew then joined in singing the ma.

and lastly they sang Gallant Sailors. "
