CHAPTER TX.

THE SHOCKING OF HUNNICoTT.
Il was two weeks after the date OF
the governors fishing trip. aud by
consequence Judge MacFarlane's court
had been the even fortnight in session
in CASTOR, when kents attention was
recalled TO the forgotten Vs4num case
by another letter from tie local at
torney. Hunnicott.
"Varnum VS.. Western Pacific comes

going to press for trial this time, and

sentative. Hawk has been chasing
around getting afidayits; for what
purpose | don't know, though Lesher
tells me that one of them was sworn

or the Jump creek work.

rounds that the suit is to be made a

that Mr.. Semple Falkland's pri-

interviewed the New Yorker, and
Falkland told him he had stopped over
20 look up the securities on a mort
gage held by one of his New York
clients"
When Kent had dictated a letter in
answer to Hunnicott's, he dismissed
the Varnum matter from his mind,
having other and more important
things to think of. So. on the Friday,
when the case was reached on Judge
MacFarlanes docket-but really, il is
worth our while TO be present in the
CASTOR courtroom to see and hear
what befalls.
When the Narnum case was called
Hunnicott promptly moved for a third
continuance, in accordance with his
instructions. The judge heard his
argument, the old and well-worn one
OF the absence of important witnesses
with perfect patience; and after list

hardly more than mechanical, he
granted the continuance.

 Rules Are Disregarded.

The regular monthly meeting of the Po- lice Commission took place last night, with Chairman Thomas F. Parker pre- siding and the following members pres ent: Eugen Fies, Jr., B. B. Martin, Lu- cien Brown, Dan Donahue and Sid B. Jones.
 The only business out of the ordinary transacted was the adoption of a resolu- ton introduced by Chairman Parker, con demning Commissioner Ducien Brown for the latter's recent criticism of the police department which appeared in an inter view in the Age-Herald.
 After the routine business had been transacted, which consisted of the ac- ceptance of the resignation of Policeman James K. Richardson, Commissioner Browns criticism was taken up
 Chairman Parker vacated the chair and requested Commissioner Donahue to pre- side. MT. Parker referred to the state ments of Commissioner Brown published in the Age-Herald and condemned the commissioners criticisms. He said that Chief Wier, Captain Johnson and Lieu tenants Egan and Hagood were excellent officers, and that the department as a whole had no equal.
 If any commissioner knows where a rule has been violated or the force has been interferred with, it is his duty to make charges before the commission" !" said Chairman Parker. "I believe that Commissioner Brown should be con- demned strongly by thls body for his utterances. I will make a motion to that effect in the shape of a resolution"
 Further remarks were made by Chair V1r~ 4.. I.t.. Commissioner Brown which were pub lished in the Age Herald at the time
 Secretary Jones was instructed to write the resolution, which follows:
 Resolved, That the police commission condemn the wholesale criticism of the police department made by Commissioner Brown through the columns of news paper"
 Commissioner Fies seconded the motion to adopt.
 Before the question was put Chairman Parker stated that he had been informed that Commissioner Brown had at one time hunted up certain members in order to apologize for his utterances
 Commissioner Brown in reply to the criticisms of Chairman Parker, stated that he had no apologies to offer for his criticisms of the department He stated that he believed that rules of the com mission were being violated by members of the force. He said that policemen stood on corners talking to people. and that they did not have their shoes shined and that in many instances did not ap- pear neat and tidy.
 The ayes and nays were called on the chairmans resolution. and the result was adoption:
 Ayes-Donahue, Ffes. Jones' Martin and Parker.
 Nays-Brown.
 Before the vote on the resolution was taken Commissioner Fies asked Commis- sioner Brown questions and the latter declined to answer by saying. "I de- cline to be interviewed"

VOTERS IN CALHOUN.
Thus Far But $40 Have Paid Their
 Poll Tax.

Jacksonville. January 9.-(Special.) )--In conversation with D. z. Goodlett. county tax collector, today, he stated that there had been only $40 persons to qualify for the 1906 elections by paying their poll tax, and should this record be continued there will be less than 1000 qualified voters to participate in the approaching state and county elections.
 As is generally known, the poll taxes become due on October 15 of last year, and will close on February 1 next Hence 1t will be observed that the average rate of qualification has been less than seven persons per day, and as there are about 30,000 people in Calhoun, these figures serve as a very fitting illustration of the indifference of the people of this section regarding the political situation.
 Besides the state elections, Calhoun will this year have to elect a state sem ator, sheriff. two county commissioners and two representatives.
