that there was dinner on the ground
for all. And right there l had the
pleasure of attending and enjoying
one of the best old-time country pic
mics prepared by the good wives and
daughters of some of the best aud
most prosperous farmers in Suwan-
nee county. Their picnic was given
by the farmers of that section in
honor of the Farmers Union, and /
tell you if this Union has as much
strength in alb OF its moves as it ex-
hibited when time come for dinner,
it has a power that will stand any
storm of opposition that may strike
it. l never saw as much good things
to eat at one table in my life. When
II O'Clock came, every man and lots
of boys made for their wagons and
buggies and gathered big boxes and
trunks and carried them to the grove.
where there was a long table that
had been prepared for this occasion,
and pretty soon it was loaded from
one end to the other with good eat
ables; and plenty still remained in
the boxes and trunks, and think the
crowd could have staid there for
several days and had plenty of good
rations to eat.
Hopink that these good people may
continue to prosper, and that l will
have the pleasure OF meeting with
them again soon.
l remain respectfully,
G. B. LORD.

INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM.

The Florida legislature has not
looked upon Mr.. Pettigrew's initia-
tive and referendum resolution with
favor but has endorsed Bryan for the
Democratic presidential nomination
all of which goes to show that men
are sometimes endorsed when we do
not believe in all they advocate
In a government as complete and
extensive as our own we are sure to
have the socialistic ideas crop out
bordering on to extreme. The ini-
tiative and referendum is beautiful
in theory and belongs to a govern
ment as pure republic, but since
Switzerland outgrew the pure repub-
lican code We know of no country
that finds it wholly applicable.
There is but enc reasonable OBJ
lection to the initiative and referen-
DUN. 1t is such a good one, however
that it places ban on the whole
scheme. The cost of putting into
effect and the necessary time which
in justice should be given a question
for contemplation by the general
public. A question of legislation
may be given thorough consideration
by a representative body in a very
short time and be accepted or reject
ed at a comparatively small outlay
from the exchequer of the govern
ment, but undertake to lay the mer-
its and dement's of a proposed piece
of legislation before each individual
voter and provide means for him to
express his wishes by ballot on everX
such proposition and you have a
problem too much for our present
day lawmakers.
Its fine in theory. but to put it
into practice, we pass it up to Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Pettigrew.

Senator Dorman of SuWannee
would have the State Capitol remov-
ed to Live Oak. Mr.. Dorman's bill
is one of several of the same kind
that has been introduced in the Leg
islature from time to time, but the
Capitol, still remains on a red hill
in Tallahassee and old Leon. There
is no question of it being badly out
of the way, but it is there and very
likely to remain, so let's talk about
something more interesting and pro-
fitable.-Miami Metropolis. From
the way you talk, Mr.. Metropolis,
we prefer that you talk about some
thing else if its just the same to
you.-Live Oak Democrat. We will
de the, calm act as requested. but
we would like to have the Democrat
understand that if the Capitol is to
be removed there is no place we
would like to see have it, other than
Miami, any more than Live Oak

We do not believe that any editor
in Florida can find it in his heart to
censure Governor Broward very
strongly for not permitting the Off
GERS of the law to take Editor L'Engle
and have him tried in Manatee coun-
ty for criminal libel. There is so
much depending on his versatility
and his industry at this moment. 1t
shows, too that the editorial frater-
nifty has almost become one of the
coordinate departments of the state
government. He is one of the essen
tials-he has made himself SUCH

WE SHALL SEE.

The Legislative session draws to
a close and we are waiting to see
what we shall see.
The disfranchisement resolution
has met deserved defeat as did the
franchise tax bill. And now comes
on to be heard the state life insur-
ance scheme followed by the state
uniformity of text books. DR.. Porter
failed to have us all turned over to
his tender mercies but the State may
yet insist on the privilege of insuring
our lives, and naming the books in
which we are to learn to read and
spell.
The old heroes of the Civil War
are coming in for some just recogni-
ton and the legislature may yet
catch a little spell to listen about
good roads
The various state and county fair
bills will have to be delicately hand
led for we have not yet begun to do
much advertising of our resources.
The number of counties seems to
have splendid chance of increasing
again, and a disappointment is i'm
minent
Then comes the report of the COM
mittee appointed to investigate-bu
who said investigate? That's a
naughty word some say, but we shall
see what we shall see when the leg
islature of 1907 has gone into his
tory.

Please allow me space for a few
words. l was raised On a farm and

ago when lost my health and had to
give up farm life; and loving the
farm and farmers ways, and hear
ing that the farmers were going to
have picnic last Saturday, the
eleventh, l went out in the country,
eight miles to Oak Grove school
house, and when l got there | found
a large crowd of citizens and they
kept gathering until the beautiful
oak grove around the school house
was crowded with vehicles, and good
looking horses and mules, which

The school year just drawing to a
close has been a busy one with the
pupils and teachers at the Suwannee
High School. Good work has been
accomplished in every department
and the attendance and interest has
been good throughout the entire
term. The only drawback, and one
that must be remedied, is the need
of more room. and we are pleased to
know that movement is on foot for
the erection of High school build
ing fully adequate to the needs. and
the building will be completed and
ready for the fall term of school.

The arguments OF counsel in the
Mccall case last evening were well
worth listening to. Col. Robertson, of
this city, made mastery effort in
behalf of his client, and was listened
to attentively. The colonel is good
orator, as well as possessing argu-
mentative ability, and to his skill in
handling the case before the jury
may be attributed largely the light
verdict rendered against Mccall.
( Col. Fred Butler, for the prosecution
presented facts as he saw them, and
they had good impression. Col.
Paige, Of Alabama, for the defense,
is young man of ability, and pre-
sented his phase in a very able
manner. However he was called
down by the court in his endeavor to
show that wife had not the right
10 testify for or against a husband.
Such is the law in Alabama, but not
In Florida. Particularly was the re-
porter impressed with the argument
OF State Attorney c. A. Hardee. This
gentleman only consumed thirty
minutes time in closing the case, and
his auditors could have listened to
him an hour longer. He did not ar
ray the prisoner in bitter terms, but
on the contrary showed compassion
1or him, yet insisted upon the en-
Ioreement of the law, and the con-
Vlction of Bart Mccall, showing to
the jury that he ought not be released
and allowed to go to Alabama, simply
because his parents wanted him at

THE TOWN REPORT.
Will be Issued Today. Prosperous
Year Shown by Auditors Report.
Warning Contains Matters of In
fereSf

The annual town report will be issued
today. Owing to a lack of motive
power the printing of the report has
been delayed nearly two days it being
the intention of Auditors A. K. Carr and
G. E. Marshall to have the reports dis
tributed on Wednesday. A study of the
report shows that orders have been
drawn as follows during the fiscal year
Just closed: Selectmen, S6739l3; Over
seer of the Poor, s1S56.73; Road Commits
sioner, St756. Is: School Directors, $685.
20; Justice, $48.S2.
The warning calls for action upon four
important measures in addition to the
usual election of town officers and ap.
propriating of funds:
To see if the town will vote to exempt
from taxation for the period OF five
years, the plant of the Middlebury Pre-
serving Company.
| To see what action the town will take
for the payment, or extension of $l7, ,75O
bonds falling due April |, 1907.
To see if the town will appropriate
money for permanent highways, in ac
cordance with Section of Act No. III
of the Acts of 1905.
Shall license be granted for the sale o
Intoxicating liquor in this town
These four questions ought surely t.
interest every citizen of this town anC
such interest ought surely to stimulate
every voter to be on hand town meeting
