Compliment from St. Augustine.

The celebration by THE ST. LUCIE
COUNTY TRIBUNE of its first birthday is
an event of unusual Importance in the
brief history of that paper, and one
worthy of notice. The TRIBUNE easily
ranks among the very best weekly
newspapers in Florida, and as such is
we'll entitled to the splendid patronage
accorded to it by the people of Fort
Pierce and its immediate constituency.
THE TRIBUNE is doing faithful work in
advancing the welfare of its community.

PAPERS FILED
Suit For Permanent Restraining
Order Commenced
HEARING DATE NOT SET
Will Probably Not Come Before Judge
Jones UntiI Some Time in August
Work Has Not Stopped

In our issue of June % The TRIBUNE
published bill Of complaint, upon
which temporary injunction had been
granted by Judge NJ. S. Jones, restrain
ing the county commissioners from
further proceedings in the building of
county Jail at Fort Pierce. On Friday,
June 20, Attorneys f. L. Hemmings and
c. Y. McCarty, appeared before the
judge in behalf of the board and pre-
sented a motion for dismissal of the bill
of complaint This motion was sus-
tanned by the court and the temporary
injunction dissolved due notice of which
was given in these columns.
Work was Immediately begun on the
Jail building and has since been going
forward as rapidly AS the amount Of
labor obtainable will permit.
Now comes an entirely new suit in
the same cause against the board Of
county commissioners in which per-
manent injunction is asked.
The compliments in the new case, r.
r. Ricou, X. ID. Iloke, John Sorensen,
d. +. Austin and James Neal, through
their attorneys, Geo. M. Robbins and
r. f. Bray, filed last Saturday bill of
complaint, praying for permanent in
junction in the matter, the county Jail
at Fort Pierce.
The defendants named in the bill are.
w. X. Hardee, X. h. Raulerson, j. +.
Bell, p. Kroegel and r. d. Holmes,
county commissioners; j. f.. Fultz,
clerk; John II. Wynn, treasurer; and
Wagner & Dobson, contractors.
The bill prays in substance that the
county commissioners be enjoned from
carrying out the Jail contract with
Wagner e. Dobson that they be re-
strained from erecting county Jail to
cost more than can be raised by a two
mill tax, levied for two successive
years; that they be restrained from
issuing any warrants, and that the
county clerk be enjoined from signing
any such warrants, and that the county
treasurer be enjoined from paying such
warrant if issued; that WAGNER &
Dobson, contractors, be restrained from
assigning or negotiating any such
warrants, or claiming compensation for
erecting said Jail.
The grounds upon which the com
plainants base their prayer for relief
are principally that the county COM
missioners have no power to make pay
ment for county Jail out of the general
fund when special two-mill tax for
two successive years has been levied
for that purpose.
That the general fund is sufficient
only for current expenses, and that the
contracting to pay any part of the con-
tract price of the Jail building out OF
said fund would be creating an indebt-
edness contrary to law
The compliments state that they do
not ask for temporary injunction be-
cause they must carry the burden Of
this action out of their own pockets.
and they hesitate to incur further
liability by giving IA bond to secure
temporary injunction.

Establishes the Fact
REFERS TO TWO CITIES


Tho GOOD people of Madison county

authority of law, and the good people
. Madison have our best wishes and
vOuh have something more helpful
had we the right to east vote there.
~ the forty-fye counties in Florida
,bsre are but eighteen in which whiskey
can be legally sold, but these eighteen
,srio,lsly interfere with the operation
and purpose of the law in the twenty
seven dry counties, because of the large
amount of whiskey shipped into them
from, the wet ones.
For long time the saloon men and
he advocates of the open saloon have
urged that to drive whiskey out meant
the stagnation of business, and the mo-
ment the vote was counted and the peo-
pie had said that whiskey must go, that
the licensed saloon must close its doors,
that moment the death knell of all
future growth and prosperity was
sounded. This argument undoubtedly
Influenced many votes, and prevented
for time the reign of decency and
rght, but the time has come when that
salvation no longer has weight in
TRUTH men and women would rather
see stagnation and decay than to see
the young men of community ruined
and made drunkards through the inhu-
ence of open saloons, which is most
potent factor in this destruction. But
such is not the case. Instance after
Instance has proven beyond the question
Of doubt that business stagnation
does not follow in the matter of the
closing of the saloons.
Two of the most striking examples
tOoifset this assertion are Live Oak,
in Florida, and Waycross, Ga. For
FULLY twenty years Suwannee has been
a dry county, and yet its growth has
been little short of wonderful We dare
say that in Live Oak there are more
people who own their own homes than
IN any wet town anywhere one-half
ager. Of course there IL some liquor
sod here Illegally, but as proof there is
OUT little drunkenness and disturbance,
lhe fact that Live Oak has but one po-
lice officer should be sufficient, and he
mas abundant time to attend to all the
street. work, and do numerous other
"ngS for the town. In fact he attends
wpretty much all of the needs of the

''Osng OF the saloons is u paying invest

taxation is only seven mills on the dol

THE WHOLE DEBT
OF st. Thomas Church to Be Paid
Next Sunday

From present Indications the whole debt
OF ST. Thomas Church in this city will be
paid next Sunday out Of contributions to
the bishops fund. There was an enthu-
siastic meeting of the mems committee In
the parish hail of the church last night at
which the rector. DR.. C. Ernest Smith,
presided. DIR. Smith announced that
the response to the appeals sent
out for the bishops fund had been
most gratifying All the contributions will
not be known before Sunday. March D. but
If the contributions keep up at anything
like the rate they have maintained SO far
the whole of the church debt will be COW
cred.
While the contributions in question are
made to the bishops fund, the money 20
the amount of $4,000 will be applied to
the liquidation of the church debt Any
thing over that will revert to the fund. APP
peals for subscriptions have been sent out
to all persons interested, and it was on the
strength of the returns up to last night that
the forecast of DIR. Smith was based The
is a far better showing than was expected,
as 1t was not supposed that there would be
any general response to the appeal before
next Sunday.

Mertz Co.'s Organization and System.

Organization and system have ever been
the success winning features of modern
business enterprises. It remained for the
Mertz e. Mertz Company to incorporate
those features in the tailoring business,
and which, 1t is declared, were attended
with the most surprisingly successful re-
suits. Every employe of the MertZ & MertZ
Company, il is claimed, knows his business
thoroughly and works in perfect harmony
with the perfectly developed system that
governs every phase of this big and stead
lily growing tailoring business
One of the most important features of
the business is the buying of the fabrics,
which is done by member of the firm. II
is this ability to buy the choicest woolens
that has made the 'Mertz-speciar' prices
possible-prices which, it Is declared, make
Mertz-tailored garments cost less than the
ordinary ready-to-wear clothing.
The spring showing of fabrics is the
largest the MertZ & Mertz Company has
ever assembled and it is replete with new
and exclusive styles.
