his duty in the presence Of q mob, the
Governor does right 70 remove him for
he has shown himself unfit for a trust
30 responsible; but it is said by those
who were there and are familiar with
the facts that Sheriff Carter, Of Citrus
County, was absent in the discharge of
official duty when the mob took two of
his prisoners out of Jail recently and
lynehed them. Sheriff Carter, has been
removed from Office for permitting that.
1t takes clear grit and plenty of it to
"stand off" a mob and it should be a
point of honor and pride aud self res
pect with every sheriff to protect his
prisoner. He was elected for that pur-
pose, and it will do him no harm to under
stand that IL he falls short the Cover
nor is waiting to put another man in his
place. We hope Sheriff Carter can vindi-
cate himself against the serious charge
made against him, and we are informed
that full investigation of his case will
show that he has not been guilty Of neg
lect of duty.-Live Oak Democrat.
We understand that Senator Jackson
has moved to Lakeland, where he now
resides, and where he has gone into
business. We do not believe the next
senate should permit his representing
this district unless he could show that
his home is in Inverness and not in
Lakeland. 1t seems to US that it is a
similar case with Brown of Marion. -
Brookville Star. Ut is to be hoped
Senator Jackson will not get into any
such position. He makes a good SEN
ator and should certainly be here next
session to help have completed some
unfinished business that was nicely and
schemingly sidetracked at the last SEES
sion. That Jackson Asylum Committee
report still CRATES in the craw of some
ex-officisls and public officials, and
though two years will have come and
gone still something should be done
about it,
The people of Florida are very anx-
ious to know where and how Ex-Gov-
ernor Jennings accumulated a fortune
in four years on a salary Of $500?
Where did you you get it, GOVERNOR
Governor Broward is paid a salary of
IS, 900 per annum to stay at Tallahassee
and look after the duties of the Cover
nor's Office, yet we feel safe in saying
that he does not spend One-thi-d his
time there, but is gallavanting around
over the country from Michigan to the
Everglades The Governor has discov-
cred that he can make a speech and
nothing pleases him more than to hear
himself talk. He never turns down an
invitation to shoot his bazoo. -Tavares

The saloons are dissatisfied with the

Let all good citizens oppose the open
saloon, the monster evil, and blind tiger
its contemplate, lawless but inferior
substitute. No friend of law, peace and
order can find in the jug trade an argu-
ment in favor of the open saloon.
