i taches by reason of the fact that the
property which is the subject of dispute
lies within the boundaries of the State,
and in all proceedings affecting such
property all persons designated as "all
persons claiming any interest in or
lien upon the real property herein de-
scribed or any part thereof as defend
ants must respond to the summons and
establish their respective claims rail-
ing in this the judgment becomes final
and binds all persons, resident or non
resident
The essentials of a proceeding in rem
are that the proceeding should affect
the property in controversy and should
not operate upon persons An example
of an ordinary proceeding in rem is
case whore the Federal Government
under it's revenue laws maintains an ae-
tion entitled United States Of America
against six barrels of whisky" In
that case the claimant of the property
is not named. The process is served
upon the thing itself and the judgment
operates upon it. Mr.. McEneTney con-
tended that this proceeding was anala-
gous. 1t is true that under this pro-
ceeding persons who have claims
against the property might not be
designated as "all persons claiming any
interest in or lien upon the real prop
erty herein described. or any part
thereof" but the essentials Of the pro-
ceeding is to determine the status or
the property and only incidentally are
claimants involved
Mr.. McEneFney argued that the char
acter of the proceeding II 1T were en-
titled In the matter of the applica-
tion of John Doe claiming ownership in
the property described as follows,
would be a proceeding in rem, and the
defendants would not be required to
be named.
A statute passed by the Legislature
is presumed to be valid unless the con-
trary clearly appears. he said.
STATE HAS POWER.
1t remains with the Legislature to
determine what proceedings shall be
instituted to adjudicate and settle the
titles to property within it.
The law passed by the Legislature is
merely an enlargement of existing pro-
ceedings which enables an owner OF
land to maintain an action against
known and unknown owners, he said.
Personal service is not necessary un-
der existing conditions, because il is
impracticable and impossible. he said.
Personal service is necessary only
when the conditions are such as to
render 1T practicablO or possible.
The proceeding provided for in the
new act, although different in formal
respects obtaining in other jurisdic-
tions, is essentially the same, he said.
At the close of the argument the
court decided to allow twenty days for
the fling Of briefs by the lawyers in
the case and ten additional days for
fling answers. 1t Is expected the de-
cision will be handed down shortly
thereafter.

FINED THE DEAD MAN.
(From Boston Herald.)

(From Boston Herald
The judges decision in a case set
tied a few years ago in Millinocket.
Me-, probably will not serve as a
precedent but no exception to it was
reported.
An Italian laborer was killed while
at work on a dam at the pulP-mills.
At the hearing before the local
justice there was found in pocket
a roll of bills containing S25, and
hidden in one of the bootlegs was
found a dirk knife.
As there was no probate court
within many miles of the town, the
Judge was at a loss to know what dis
posal should be made of the money.
Finally he hit upon the solution. The
court took charge of the money and
fined the corpse SIS for carrying con-
cealed weapons.

title to those Everglades lands is N
dispute, while it is now matter OF
litigation in the courts, 1t would be
unwise to spend the public money in
draining them until their ownership
is absolutely settled.
This, as we said, is very impor-
tant point and, in fact, the main
point in the whole drainage PROPOSE
ton. No private individual would
improve a piece of property unless
he felt reasonably sure that he had
or would secure a good title to it,
and the state in this matter should
be guided by the same business prin-
ciple which a business man would
follow in a similar case where his
own personal business interests were
affected.
so far as we could observe, the
nearest the governor came to answer
ing the question was his contention
that, assuming his own position IN
in reference to the states title to the
lands to be the correct one, the sup
rene court would decide in the
states favor. This answer is hardly
satisfactory one and does not real
/ ly answer the question.
I'VE should like very much to have
the governor make a plain straight
forward statement of his position or
this phase of the proposition. IL is
in The Journals opinion, the one
strong card which the opposition tC
the drainage scheme have to play
and thus far we have not seen {
satisfactory answer to it,
I'VE do not Say that this poin
alone should determine the whole
question of supporting or opposing
the drainage amendment, but We d.
say that it is question that will Gu
a large figure in the case and
ought to be answered"

What has become of the man with
a hobby, with an enthusiasm, with a
fad of some kind? There used to
be at least one in every community,
and he was a valuable moral factor,
too, for he was the enemy of all
forms of dependency and while he
was sometimes a bore and frequently
wrOng-headed, his hopefulness was
irrepressible and he infected others
with his temperament, if not his con
victions. But like the town humorist,
he seems to have disappeared and
left no visible equivalent behind. We

THE vALDosTA CONVENTION.

Next Thursday the important con- /
yention of the Sea Island Cotton |
Growers of Georgia and Florida, call !
ed by President Harvie Jordan to
consider the marketing of the crop
and other pertinent matters, meets
in Valdosta and indications point to
large attendance from both States.
The Valdosta Times has the follow
ing to say on the subject, which will
be interesting to our delegates from
Suwannee county:
The Sea Island Cotton Growers
OF Georgia and Florida are going to
meet in this city on next Thursday
and Friday for the purpose of TAX
ing some action in regard to their
crop, with a view to making it bring
better prices this year. Hon. Harvie
Jordan has called the meeting to-
gether and he is expected to be on
hand and assist the growers in reach
ing some wise conclusions. The
meeting will be the most important
the sea island growers have ever had,
because it will be more representa-
tive and because it will be held at
the beginning of the season, when
the farmers are preparing to begin
marketing their crop. This is the
second general meeting that has been
held in Valdosta and that fact is a
compliment, not only to Valdosta, but
to the entire sea island belt in Geo
rgia. That fact ought to inspire
Georgians to send large delegations
to the convention. The farmers of
Lowndies and the adjoining counties
should take hand in the movement
and try to make it successful oc-
casion. They will be the benefci-
aries of any good results that will
accrue from the meeting. And the
merchants of ValdOsta should also
take some notice of the convention
and should offer some kind of enter
tainment for the visitors. Theil
coming here gives signal recognition
to Valdosta and not only that, bu
it puts this city in closer touch will
many of the leading men in the ricl
territory all around US. This i
worth much to the city and it will
be worth more if We can have thes
people return to their homes with
good word upon their lips for thi
city and section. Let US get up a.
informal spread at some cOnVenien
place next Thursday night and lie
US all turn out and meet the visitors
