The seat sale for w. P. Cullen's
big production of "The Tender
foot" with Oscar L. Figman and
Ruth White as the stars, opened to-
day. From the advance orders it
is evident its appearance will be to
big houses here. There are many
delightful features in THE Tender

prettiest Of operate comedies mus

really funny. There are many OPP

a run, to be better than Richard

White, in the character of Marion,
the dashing western girl, whose
marital troubles form the theme of
the piece, is said to be excellent.
The remainder Of the cast is strong.
Jethro Warner, a tenor of great
ability; Fred Bailey, George Lock-
hart and frankie Warner are some
of the well known clever people
who are principals. The famous

feature of the Chicago production,
is with the company. The organ

SOME
EEFLORIDA INCIDENTS"
EARLY DAYS OF MEfHODISM IN FLORIDA.

1t has often occurred to me that it
would be of general interest for some
of our old itinerants of the Florida
Conference to write brief biogfaphi-
cal and historical sketches giving us
examples of the life and growth of
Methodism In Florida, as well as the
hard conditions under which the
work was carried on. But as they
keep silence, the younger generations
may tell that which their fathers
have told them, that the memory and
record of their deeds may not die
among their children and amidst the
changes they have SO marvelously
wrought.
In about the year 1886 my grand
father moved from Jacksonville to
Tampa and from thence in 1S41 to the
Manatee river where, setting under
the Armed Occupation Act ne open
ed a sugar plantation in the rich ham,
mocks that border both sides of the
river. As the Indians were still max
ing raids on settlers from out their
swampy Businesses, he built, as did
other settlers who came later, pail
sades around their houses and set
watches at night, keeping by day A
sharp lookout, with their rifles lean
ing aginst a stump close by their
work in clearing up the dense ham,
mocks.
When my father was about fifteen
years old and had joined what might
be called the Manatee Rangers, whose
duty if was to scout for Indians and
give warning of the approach OF hos
tile bands, he was sent to SaraSo-
ia Bay to warn the settlers there tina.
the Indians were again making their
raids, and to come to the protection
of the settlement at Manatee. Among
the families thus warned of their
danger was one named Hawkins. Mrs.
Hawkins took her flock of small chill
dren and led them safely to the river
settlement. Her son, w. B. Hawkins,
then about ten years old recently told
me of my fathers riding up to their
door on a mule and giving the warn
ing, and how they all, afoot, made
their way u miles to old man Lees,
where, watching through the night in
company with a negro. both with their
rifles, they heard the Indians firing
on the mansion Of Major Brady about
one mile away. In my next letter l
will have more to say about this
young Hawkins.
On this raid the Indians burned a
house and killed man at Sarasota.
At Manatee they attacked but one
place. the Brady plantation. March
ing boldly up to the door, they knock
ed and awaited the opening of the
door. AS it was about dusk the door
was locked. Major Brady, not sus-
pecting the approach of Indians in
that way was about to unbar the
door when a negro house servant who
had been watching them from an up
stairs window, ran and told her mas
ter not to open the door, that there
were Indians ont there. Hastily Sc
curing the down stairs windows. the
family took refuge up stairs. AS the
house was built of concrete with
thick walls and proof both to bullets
and fame, Mai. Brady ventured to
hail them from an upper window.
Their reply was volley of bullets
fired at the window. Young Brady,

catching his father around the waist
and Ringing him out of range Of the
bullets, fired his musket into the
savages, breaking the arm of one. AS
tne surprise was a failure the Indians
withdrew to the negro quarters, took
two or three negroes and mules and
begun their retreat to the everglades.
They were at once pursued by rthe
Rangers who overlook them at the
Peace creek and killed all but one Of
the party of about twenty, recaptur-
ing the negroes The Indians were
first discovered at night, their camp
fire being seen on the other side OF
Peace creek or river. The captain Of
the pursuing band gave orders to wait
on the bank of the river till day and
then cross and attack. When day
dawned and the river was fOrded not
a sign of the Indians was there and
their camp was deserted. During the
night, said the negroes, afterwards,
they were awakened and hurried on
| their way. A white man keeping
watch on the other side, had conclud-
ed TO have a smoke and, lying behind
a log, he struck sulphur match and
lighted his pipe. The Indians had
caught the odOr of the burning sulphur
and knew the avengers were on their
trail. Pursuit was resumed and al
noon their camp was again struck in
the midst of a thick hammock sur
rounding a small open glade. The
Indians had killed beef, eaten to
their full and. tired from forced
marches, were lying about the camp
asleep. TIE one sided fight was soon
over. Only one Indian escaped The
one wounded at the mansion was not

groes said, directly to his village
They had ferried their plumber and
two negro women captiVes over the
river in canoe made out of hide of
the beef they had killed. A few miles
more and they would have been safe
from pursuit in their old territory. We
suppose there was weeping and wall
ing in the wigwams when the lone
fugitive returned to tell the fate of
the braves who went forth to return
no more.
This experience seems to have end
ed their raids in the Manatee section,
where peace, prosperity reigned, wnils

an COMPLETE ACCORD WITH
our ESTEEMED CONTEMPORARY

The Journals esteemed evening con-
Temporary occasionally says someNery
good things and gets on the right side
Of certain propositions. When it does
so nothing gives The Journal more
Dleasure than to endorse its contem-
pcraTy's attitude.
TINS is the case in the following
which appeared in Thursday after
moons News under the caption, Fire
Limit Ordinance Seems to Have Pass
ed into the Dim Beyond"
From the way frame structures are
heinp erected all over the city, ana
more especially in the lower part
of the place, it appears that, IN the
rush of getting ready to receive the
fleet which comes next week, the hre
limit ordinance has been forgotten.
Speaking OF this today gentleman
having a knowledge of the law said:
ssYes. Il looks like there is no ordi-
nance nowadays prohibiting the cree
tion of frame and canvass stands In
the IRE limits. / counted today seven
stands which were erected in clear
violation of the law, and just who al
lowed this is not for me to say. 1t is
plain that there is somebody at fault.
And another thing l notice is the fact
that strangers invariably are occupy
ing these stands. Why is it that a
home man is turned down always
when he goes before the board or be
fore the properly authorized officer
and wants TO erect a frame building?
It looks just that way to me, at any
rate"
The Journal hereby endorses the
position taken by the Daily News in
this matter. and it seconds the sug-
gestion that the Fire Limit Ordinance
should be rigidly enforced.
There is no sense or season in haF-
ing such an ordinance if every tran
sient Snowman or fakir who comes
along is to be permitted to violate it.
Home people are not permitted to do
this and no one else should be granted
sAat privilege.

A COMPLAINT THAT LONG SINCE
BECOME RIDICULOUS.

The following from The Tampa
Herald has The Journals full endorse
ment:
frequently paragraphs appear in var
iouS papers complaining about people
who take a paper and refuse to pay
for it. As a matter Of fact, there are
few people who really do this. Such
excuses as are offered for these COM
plants are usually the fault of care
lessly managed newspapers and pa.
pers who desire circulation which they
cannot get on their merits, hence they
resort to padding-placing names upon
their list without proper authority
and then try to collect for same. Fail
ing in this they then send up a wall
of woe about the dishonesty of those
who take papers and refuse to pay for
them. The Herald knows of many in
stances of this kind.
The newspaper that will allow a
subscriber to become delinquent and
then beat the paper out of the account
deserves to lose it. and a complaint
about its loss is extremely childish.
Calculations built on non-paying sub
seribers are worth nothing to either
the paper or the advertiser, because
a man who won't pay his subscription
account won't pay his grocery bill
either. The Journals subscribers are
all of the paying class-a fact that
advertisers have long since come to
appreciate.

A poet said "if you would see fair
MeIrose, visit it by moonlight" u
you would see Tallahassee at her fair
est, visit it in the sprinstime, when
Natures great heart is glad and song
of triumph breaks forth from every
bird and flower, and every whispering
wind bears her fragrant message.
Like Rome upon her seven hills,
with the mystic glamour OF the old
days about her, holding fast through
all the vicisitudes and changes that
have come about in the breaking up
OF the old associations and tne pass
ing of the old ideals, to the dominant
characteristics of her people, famed
for their culture and generous hospi-
tally, sits Tallahassee, the capitol
city.
This. the political center of the
state, was the ancient Mecca OF all
that stood for wealth, culture, birth,
exclusiveness-the stronghold Of the
aristocraey of Florida.
Tallahassee was chosen the site for
the capitol in 1924 by commissioners
appointed by the legislative council
which met first at Pensacola in 1922.
The commissioners, after a thorough
examination of the country found na
place more beautiful than the aban-
doned field of the Tallahassee Indians.
Here is the center of the Hill country
was begun the settlement of the
quantity beautiful city of Tallahassee,
so called in honor of the famous MicO-
Tallahassee.
In the musical Indian tongue the
name is said to signify beautiful land.
Whether that be the meaning | know
not, if so is aptly applies to this sec
ton of the state.
A Scene OF Beauty.
The traveller approaching the town
is impressed with beauty of the sur
rounding country; placid lakes, with
white afloat upon their dimpling sur
faces, splendid forests of timber,
broad fields where the plenteous har-
vest yields generous returns-and, #
the season be ingtime-hedges of
roses, CheTOkees and dainty ramblers,
dogwOod wild azaleas, crab apple and
hOneysuckle. $50 perfumed that the
winds are loyesick with them"
buildings of the state college Gaping
a hill, southwark the state normal for
negroes upon another hill; and look
ing toward the north, the dome of the
capitol shining III the broad sunshine.
The statenouse occupies a hand
some square in the center of the town,
upon the site where in 1924 was built
the log cabin that for time served
as the official home of the state gov
eminent. In 1926 the cornerstone of
the present building was laid, the
building being completed in 1912 and
remodeled to its present imposing pro-
portions in 1902.
There is an indefnable something
about capitol cities that sets them
apart as different from other places;
perhaps it is the wonder of the child
ish mind and the lastingness OF early
impressions, for who does not harS
backward to the dear, dim days Of
