The following from the morn
ing papers will be Of interest
to people of this city, perhaps:
At every session of the leg
islature since some ten years
ago there has been an effort on
the part of the retail grocers to
secure repeal or modification
Of the wage exemption laws.
When the attempt was first
made the bill was indefinitely
postponed on motion of Attor-
ney General Byers, who was
then a member of the house,
without reference to a commit
tee. It has shared better fate
since then and has always got
ten to the committee, and some-
times has been reported out of
committees, but has never got
ten farther. Scores of petit
tions for and against the bills
now before the legislature re-
pose in the pigeonholes of the
clerks and secretaries desks.
1t is understood to be the in
tention to have the house act
on the bill first this session, and
it is expected that this action
will be taken soon after the
recess ends next week.

Fire at hiccOsuKie.

News has just reached this Office of
disastrous fire which occurred on the
night of the 9th inst. on the premises
of DR.. w. +. Marlborough.
When discovered the flames were
well advanced, and, in spite OF the he
roic efforts on the part of all the avail
able village force, the building and
three valuable horses, which, with the
usual unreasoning terror shown by
these ANIMALS at such times, refused to
be rescused, were destroyed. We are
clad to report, however, that the wag-
ons and corn stored in the barn were
saved and the other outhouses kept
from igniting.
The friends of this well-known physi-
clan and his family sympathize with
them in their severe loss, and also with
the suffering sustained by DR.. Var
borough, Mr.. Theodore Marlborough and
Mr.. Averill from burns received in
fighting the flames.

,pally. that the property qualification"
was not inserted In the present bill.
Mr.. Editor, | am pleased to say that
every member Of the pension commit
tee, consisting Of fourteen-nine from
the House and Ave from the Senate
were unified and proclaimed in no UNI
certain tone that they would never con-
sent to longer subject Confederate sol
diers to the modification Of appearing
in the role of q pauper to obtain pen
sion. Such would be degrading 20 the
soldier and discreditable to the State.
The committee was also unanimous in
presenting q bill which could be proper
Nv recognized as q testimonial of their
country's gratitude for services will
ingly and nObly rendered, believing that
a soldiers pension should be based on
voluntary and meritorious service, re
gardless of wealth or poverty, and
should be priced as ''the Frenchman
prizes the Cross of the Legion, or the
Englishman the order of the Garter. ="
Mr. Editor, it has been my pleasure
to know Gov. Fleming for forty-five
years, a gentleman for whom / enter
tain the highest esteem and regard;
one with whom soldiered on the fields
of Virginia during the '60s; and ! can
consistently declare that Jruer,
nobler, drawer and more loyal soldier
never drew blade from scabbard; and
for so valiant a soldier as Gov. Fleming
to oppose the bill for the want of a
property qualification Is beyond my linn
tied comprehension. Let us remember,
Mr.. Editor, that thsse valiant, patriotic
and intrepid sons, at the tap of the
drum, volunteered their services in a
most righteous eau e, rushing to the
front, ready to pour their libation upon
the altar of Southern rights; and how
any patriotic citizen can object to the
Legislature giving them more liberal
treatment l am at loss to understand,
In conclusion, I wish to say that as
chairman of the Senate pension COM
mittee, both in the committee and on
the floor of the Senate, not only was my
vote given, but my voice was heard in
favoF Of the passage of the most liberal
pension bill ever given TO Confederate
soldiers by any previous Legislature of
Florida, and for my acts have no re-
grets to express or apologies to offer,
but proud indeed of my work

Most Credit nm U. 5. Senate.

It seems to be generly understood
that in resigning his position as State
Senator Hon. Frank Adams, Of Hamil-
ton county, has fully made up his mind
TO be a candidate for the United States
Senate, TO succeed Senator Mallory, and
will soon formally declare himself to
that effect. When he does so we may
look for senatorial campaign that Will
arouse intense interest throughout the
State. Mr.. Adams is strong on the
stump and he will doubtless give the
people in every county in Florida an
opportunity 90 hear him. Senator
Beard and Col. Brown have both an
nounced for the place and Mr.. Spark
man remains the only uncertain factor.
If he enters the contest IL will be a
great fight, as it shonld be, for the sen.
otOrship is a prize worth gladitorial
struggle. We want a strong, we'll
balanced man in the Senate who does
not lose his temper and say foolish
things and take untenable positions;
who Is a good ta!ker and knows how 70
think on his feet; who has the SUD
lime genus Of common sense and who
neither runs 70 spectacular garruhty
and prolixity in one direction nor en-
beds himself in silence OF conscious IN
capacity for debate in the other. The
candidate who best meet these require
ents will be the man To do Florida
most credit In the United States Sen
ate. Live Oak Democrat.

The following, from "Shade Tree, "

while we were out OF the city for few
days, and became sidetracked for the

With the above as his platform. Jules
Solomon announces his candidacy as a
member of the Florida Railroad Com
mission to succeed Hon. John l.. Nor
gan, whose term Of Office expires Janu-
airy 1, 1909, and whose successor will be
nominated in the Democratic primaries
next spring.
Jules Solomon is too well known
throughout Florida to need any intro
duction TO the voters of the State. He
lived in Jacksonville for many years,
and never was there q more popular
business man. He has Travelled the
State, and knows individually thousands
of Floridians, and since his announce
ment as candidate he has received
many promises of support
Mr. Solomon has been in Jacksonville
for several days, coming here from his
home In Tallahassee, and whenever his
candidacy has been mentioned every
person present has pledged him sup
port.

Pursuant to adjournment the Board

The building was found not to need
anything in the way of immediate re-
pairs, and the sanitary condition seemed
to be excellent, but the fence needed
white-wash, and 1t was ordered that
two coats of same be applied. Hon. ].

appointed to look after having this work
done.

ter 5, First Division of the General
Statutes of the State Of Florida, the

the county officers, TO find whether they
satisfied all the requirements OF
the law. These were found TO be
o. X except in the case of Samuel
Groom, constable for Justice of the
Peace District No. l, one of the sure
ties on his bond having died, Mr.. Groom
was notified by the board to give an-
other bond, as the law requires.
