The Way to Advertise.
There is no reason why every dol
lar expended in the reclamation of
the Everglades should not prove the
addition of $40 dollars to the states
wealth in ten years. But in order to
accomplish this, Floridians must CO.
operate with the governor, they must
act intelligently, they S1ust let man.
moth foreign holding corporations
know that Florida is something be-
sides a toy of winter tourists; and
they must show people with money
to invest, people looking for land
to till, and manufacturers seeking
a field for their enterprises that they
are alive to their own great natural
advantages and that capitol does not
have to go to adjoining states to find
land of opportunity. If Florida
doesn't advertise, she is certain al
ways to be at the taii-end Of the pro-
cession; and the best way to adver-
tise is to show to the world that the
Everglades constitute the greatest
body of land in the south and that
Floridians, recognizing this fact, had
the hardihood to attempt and secure
their reclamation.-Tampa Globe.

charged with the murder Of his father
has been bound over to the grand jury
without bail, and placed in the county
Jail to await his Indictment Tho
court room scene yesterday was
touching one. The mother, wearing the
widows weeds in memory of her hus-
band, who was killed by a mysterious
blow ON the head with hammer, re-
manned by her sons side. The tears
streamed down her face as the sullen
boy was led away to Jail. Justice Bam-
ford, before whom the preliminary
hearing Was held, made no CONNIE
when the sentence was administered.
A sensational feature of the testi-
mony was the introduction Of evidence
to show that a sister of the prisoner
is a cripple at home unable to leave
the house, her injuries due, it is claim
ed, to an assault made by young Nc
Feeley before the death of his father
The evidence is so strong that the
boy is responsible for his fathers
death that attorneys for the defense
stated that plea of insanity will be
introduced and an effort made to have
him sent to Clarinda. Some time ago
at the request of his parents he was
before the county commission Of in-
sanity and was pronounced sane. Anger
over the filing of such charges is said
to have brought about motive for
the patricide.
