A Gainesville dispatch Of Dec oath,
sayB, owing TO recent decision of United
States court, in which Theodore Dali
eoueS ct. al, heirs of the big estate Of
John G. Forbes, plaintiffs, were suing
FOR the repossession Of large tracts Of
lard in West Florida, west Of the Apa-
lAcicola river, there stands good chance
TO be opened up for homestead purposes
about 100, 600 acres Of public lands in
Washington and Calhoun counties which
have for years been in litigation, and
which have been of no benefit to any
one on account of this litigation.
Many years ago John Forbes, it is
claimed, purchased from the Indians
and the Spanish government this tract
The tract, which is largely timber land
and little value for cultivation, was UNI
developed, bus since there has been
such demand for timber the past few
years, the land has been in demand.
Several attempts, it is said. have been
made to sell It, but owing to the cloud
which hung over the title, buyers were
careful The matter was taken into the
United States court for a settlement,
with the result that the land was divert
ed back to the government.
There has been a clamOr for the prop
erty and in the event that the tract is
restored to entry, there will no doubt
be great rush Of homesteaders to that
section where government land Is now
scarce.

were wise in this conclusion for the
new law created several new depart
ments which required good judgement
and tact in organizing, equipping and
supplying with efficient teachers.
President Murphree took hold of the
new order of things with that determi-
nation and energy necessary to success.
His personal magnetism and enthusiasm
won the hearty cooperation of his fac
ulty from the start. Many obstacles
had to be surmounted. The attend
ance was the first thing to require at
tention. The curriculum mad heen
brought up 70 q certain standard, and
in consequence entrance requirements
barred scores of young girls who de-
sired TO attend the College. Last year,
however, the session began with ia
students The enrolment gradually in
creased. and at the close the rolls ac-
counted for EOS students This year
the College session began with 14l, and
this number is being increased from
week TO week. BY the end of the SEES
sion, it will no doubt show upward of
$50.
So long as Mr.. Murphree remains at
the head of the Florida College for WO-
men it is bound to push ahead Today
it is cramped for space, both in dOrmi-
tory and recitation rooms The depart
ments embracing the fine arts, indus
trial arts, model school and kindergar-
ten have not suitable accommodation,
nor even sufficient room. Ii is expected
that these conditions will be remedied
by the next Legislature, and that
President Murphnee will be provided
with such facilities as the College may
require and he may see fit, through the
proper boards, to recommend.
Those who are familiar with President
Murphree's career in his chosen profess
sion in this State know he has but made !
a beginning. IL is something Of remark
able one. As yet he Is a very young |
man. His work in this State has COW
cred but twelve years. His future is \
bright, and there can be no doubt that /
he will always be found at the head of |

MARS HILL, N. c., Dec. "a, 1906.
Editor True Democrat, Tallahassee.

Dear Editor-Please find enclosed an
invitation to the Anniversary Of the
Euthalian Literary Society Of Mars Hill
College.
Probably, have been away from
home so long that am forgotten, kut
hope to return some day. ] am away
up here In Western North Carolina,
where the gigantic mountains rise In
their sublime and majestic beauty, and,
as IL were, burst through the very can.
opy Of the Celestial World. Indeed,
they eneirele us and seem 70 stand as .
bulwark for our defense, as did the
walls around Babylon IN the days Of the
Historian HefOdifus.
Only few days ago the mellownessl
Of autumn was here, the foliage Of the
SRolds scarce tihRsae with purple and
gold, but now winter, WITH AL that the
name implies, Is upon as.
Snow began falling the 2lst, and for
three days it was nothing short Of a
snowstorm. The earth was covered
about eight inches in the white downy
substance. IL would take nothing less
tuNu TIC bhiIfO manu- VI nhpI1hci vi W
rot to portray the gorgeous beauty that
these mountains gives forth.
During the holidays, !, q Florida boy,
have had the pleasure of coasting down
the PERCEPTIONS side Of Little Mountain,
a resort almost as famous TO a student
Of Mars Hill College as was Lovers
Leap in South Carolina to lovers in the
days of slavery. A boy would get on
the sled in front and girl behind, then
down, down, down, at rate equal 10 |
that of tightening speed. Unlimited
express or break-neck speed they wonld
go. Fortunately, however, we all es-
capped the fateful blows that the last |
rate would have accidentally brought |
US. Suffice is IL 70 say, that the holt !
days are being spent in a most enjoy
able way. And really think that the !
boy who has not had the pleasure Of |
arraying himself in a costume resem-
bling sharply that Of Laplander, and |
taking a stroll over the mountains mid |
snow and ice, the snow at the same
time coming into his face at a rapid |
rate, has missed a good deal.

WHY sWETTENHAM RESIGNED.
British Government Peremptorily De-
manded Apology to Davis.

LONDON, April 5.-The Standard today
declares it is able to publish for the first
time the circumstances leading to the resig-
nation of Sir Alexander Swettenham as
governor of Jamaica.
The paper says that according to Sir
Alexander's own statement in letter to an
intimate friend. he resigned In consequence
of a peremptory demand from the colonial
office to apologize to Admiral Davis To
this Sir Alexander replied that IL such a
course were really necessary he would do
SO with pleasure but that such a compul-
sorry apology carried with it his resignation.
Sir Alexander denies emphatically that
there was any dispute between him and the
American admiral at the time of the King
ston earthquake. saying:
I'VE were the best of friends during the
whole time the admiral was here. He had
the use of sne of my private carriages and
drove around with my private secretary.
The Standard adds that the famous letter
was written privately as one friend might
write to another, but ii fell into the hands
of a newspaper correspondent.
