EveIyn's Testimony.

When Evelyn Thaw was ON. the witness
stand she said Stanford White came to
see her one evening in 1903 and asked her
what she had told Hummel about him.
adding that ABE Hummel has just
squeezed $1.0o0 out of me. and the Lord
only knows how soon he will squeeze an
other"
Young Mrs Thaws testimony regarding
the affidavit WAS that Stanford White
had taken her to Hummefs office after
telling her lots of horrible things about
Harry" and that she had told Hummei
about her trip through Europe with
Thaw.
Nh. Hummei,' she said, 'fhen dictated
lot of things to a man and put in lots
about Harry Thaw that wasn't true at
all
She denied signing any paper in Hum
mefs office, but admitted having signed
some papers later in Whites studio. She
claimed she did not know what the pa
pers were. Sometime afterward. she says.
she demanded that White show her the
papers. She was taken TO Hummel's Of
flee and there paper bearing her sigma
titre was shown her and burned. She was
net allowed to examine ii, she declared.

What Hummel Would Testify.

During his argument today. the district
attorney asserted that Hummel would
swear Evelyn Nesbit told him three days
after her return from Europe in 1906 that
ThaW had beatek her cruelty because she
would not sign papers he had prepared,
FALSELY accusing Stanford White Of hav-
ing drugged and betrayed her. Mr. Jer-
cine conteuded that she had told muca
more; that Inaw seemed bent upon put
ting Stanford White in the penitentiary;
that the stat ament that White betrayed
her was not true; that Stanford White
had never harmed her and that Thaw
was consumed with rage when she e.
fused to sign and swear to the papers
containing lies against Stanford White" y
These things were put in the form of
an affidavit" declared Mr.. Jerome. land
that affidavit was subscribed TO by Eve
Nn Nesbit when she knew what she was
doing and what the paper contained

Objection of peImss.

Mr. Delmas objected to Hummel as a
witness on the ground that his testimony
had to do with the truth or falsity of Mrs.
Thaw's narration and was not permisSi-
BILE, under the rules of evidence. He will
proceed with his argument tomorrow. Mr.
Jerome's contention is that while he
might not attack the truth or falsity of
Mrs. Thaw's statement that she was be-
trayed by White. he can attack the truth
of her assertion that she told the story
to Thaw at the time she says she did.
Mr.. Delmas first sought today to inter-
rupt Hummers testimony by showing
that he was acting as Evelyn Nesbit's le-
gal adviser and counsel when she made
certain statements to him. Hummel
evaded this however. by saying he was
acting solely as Whites counsel and ne
gotfations had been contemplated in be-
half of Miss Nesbit. He said be was paid
a yearly retainer by White and could not
say exactly what he charged the archi-
tect for drawing up the affidavit Asked
if it was S1.O00 he said absolutely IL was
not. He finally placed the charge at
about S1lT.'i

Allegation in Affidavit.

I'VE want to show that the girl who
told this remarkable story here on the
witness stand swoTe at another time. und-
er the Solemaity of an oath, that naked
stripped stark naked-she had endured
the lashngs and beatngs of this defend
ant rather than swear to his false state
ments that Stanford White had drugged
and ruined her.
MIR Jerome argued that the material
point of the case is whether Evelyn Nes-
bit told Thaw the story of her alleged
ruin by Stanford White. Without the
story in evidence. he declared, the reason
for the defendants alleged insanity dis
appears. The prosecutor plainly admitted
the Importance of young Mrs Thaw's
testimony to show her own reputation of
the charges which, on the witness stand.
she renewed against White
THUS" he concluded. the jury may
infer from her own statements after her
return from Europe in 1893 whether or not
she had within two months of that time
told this defendant the things she said she
did -

OUR PRIMARY SYSTEM.

The name of Judge B. H. Palmer
has been frequently mentioned in
connection with others as a probable
candidate for governor in the prim-
aries next year, and while here, the
Herald quietly intimated that an ex-
preston from him would be apprec-
lated We take the liberty of express
sing his opinion of matters political.
The position of Chief Executive
of a great state like Florida, is an
honorable and desirable one for any
man TO aspire" he remarked in sub
stance, but under our present sys-
tenn of nominations, a poor man can
not afford to enter the race. We
need some plan, some legislation or
some method whereby the enormous
expense of running for Office may be
eliminated"
Judge Palmer is one of the brainy
as well as popular men of the State.
He has proven. true to the people;
he studies their interests and works
in their behalf, and would make a
most formidable. candidate for any
position within the gift of the people
of Florida.
But here comes the drawback.
Only the wealthy can afford to take
chances in our primary system. A
man in moderate circumstances, fin
ancially, can hardly afford to enter
into a contest for a county Office, to
say nothing of the enormous expense
"a State campaign would entail.
We are and have been. a persistent
advocate of the primary system. but
we want some simple method estab-
lished whereby a poor man can have
an equal showing with the rich. We
don't like for the democratic party
and a democratic government to be
wholly and solely for the wealthy
class-while We admire their tact and
talent in accommodating this worlds
goods
Let the members of the legislature
pender well our present modus oper-
andi of selecting officers, and give US
some law, or give some advice and
suggestions that will help along the
line indicated.-White Springs Her

Miss Gertrude Dzalynski.

+ Miss Gertrude Dzalynski, repre-
senting The Peoples Lobby and
the Tallahassee Sun, was in the city
this morning collecting data for that
paper. Miss Dzalynski is a stenog-
rapher, and has been connected with
legislative work for years, and per-
chance, barring Miss Jefferson Bell,
is better posted in Florida politics
than any woman in the State. She
is a brilliant cOnversationalist, and
is we'll posted upon all public affairs.
OF course she is an ardent advocate
of the present administration, and
there is where she struck a snag in
Live Oak. However much We may
oppose her views, we admire her
pluck and loyalty to those who en-
plOy her. The best of language is
always at her command, and she can
argue any public question, and, wo-
manlike, is courteous to her adver-
saries, as are the latter to her. We
were particularly impressed with this
lady because of her absolute conf
dence in herself, and like conf
dence in those who opposed her in
argument, and a lengthy argument
occurred between her and Col. Frank
Drew in the Democrat office, relative
TO the status of the legislature
and State officers and small roads
trying to build up the State.
OF course Col. Drew, with the gentle
manly qualifications born in him, was
not so emphatic as he would have
been had he been arguing with a man
but he nevertheless carried his point,
and Miss Gertrude held her own in
defense of the administration, stat
ing to the reporter as she left on the
Coast Line for Gainesville that Col
Drew had just grievance We hone
this distinguished lady will again
visit Live OOk, and favor the Demo-
crat with a call

AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL CONSTR
TUITION. $50

The Florida Legislature disap-
proves of the fourteenth and fifteen
tn amendments to the United States
Constitution and proposes to nullify
them by the convenient device of a
joint resolution. The wonder is that
in all these forty years nobody ever
before thought of this simple ex-
pedient for disfranchising the negro.
1t seems so much easier than passing
roundabout laws with grandfather
clauses and educational tests.
South Carolina attempted merely
to nullify certain acts of Congress.
The Florida method is more
thoroughgOing- An unconstitutional
Constitution has very great advant-
ages Every state from time to time
can select such parts of, 1t as it may
choose to obey and discard the rest
as offensive to local prejudices.
Now that Florida has taken the
lead, who knows but California will
abolish the jury system and institute
drum-head cOurts-martial for all
Japanese who enter the State?
Pennsylvania believes in ultra, pro-
lection. If the Constitution is I'M
constitutional, why should not its
Legislature lay duties on imports
from other states? And, of course,
Massachusetts, could authorize Sen
ator Lodge to make his own kind of
treaty with Newfoundland and so let
President Roosevelt carry through
his treaty.
One of the difficulties in the way
of the Acknowledgement of the negro
by Southern states has been the
threatened reduction of their repre-
sentation in Congress. But these
loose constructions in Florida guard
ed against that danger. They abolish
the whole of the fourteenth amend
ment. While they were at it they
might have made their position i'm
pregnable by aboliShing the United
States Supreme Court as created by
the United States Constituencies

Did you know that Suwannee coun-
ty produces nearly one-tenth of all
the Sea Island cotton produced in
the United States? And did you know
that has been her record for several
years? It's said to be fact and sta
tistics bear out the statement. Here
we have been all this time growing
in population and wealth, producing
almost One-tenth of one of the most
valuable crops of the South, and

hardly why the county was prosper
ing. It's all plain enough when the
situation Is studied, and the only
wonder is that every foot of land in
Suwannee county is not in cultiva-

HIS HAIR TURNS PINK.
Cure For Sprains Curiously Trans
forms Farmer.

EOfEnS a r SFFneF.
Cyrus Towner. a middle AGED farm
er, living midway between Intervale
and Jackson, n H. has been soured
by the summer boarder business, al
pelt the neighbors say the misfortune
that befell him is due TO his own care
lessness. But Uncle Cyrus. rs he is
called, shifts the blame from his own
shoulders and "cusses" city folk up hill
and down.
Until short time ago Uncle Cyrus
possessed a head Of luXuriant black
hair that was the envy of the village.
1t was long, silky and thick. and the
owner was so proud of il that for four
teen years he refused to visit a bar
Der; hence it reached to his shoulders.
Now all this is changed. Instead OF
locks of raven hue Uncle Cyrus runs
his fingers over q pink stubble with
black roots and "cusses'' softly as he
tells the neighbOrs how 1t happened.
Among the city folk who put up at
the TOwner farm last summer were a
Mr.. and Mrs. Tate of Boston. They
were we'll groomed and prosperous, and
Mrs. Tate particularly possessed Won
drous hair. This hair. Mrs Tate said
was grown Ivy remarkable inyigora-
tor compounded by Boston chemist.
1t had done wonders for her, and she
believed it would almost bring out fuzz
on a billiard ball 1t was singularly
potent in preventing the hair from fall
ing, and she suggested that a little APP
piled to Uncle Cyrus scalp would
prove beneficial.
Once or twice the farmer rubbed in
a little, and his head felt so good there
after that when Mrs Tate left for
home he begged q few ounces of the
fluid. This he placed in a plain bottle,
on the cork of which he wrote the mi
tails IF. s." for scalp. About the
same time Mr. Tate supplied him with
lotion for sprains, and this went into
an identical bottle labeled ''F S." (for
sprains).
Uncle Cyrus was sparing of his scalp
invigOratOr, and as he escaped bruises
he had no occasion to open either bot
tie until a week or So ago. His hair
then began to fall slightly, and he de
cided that the time had come to apply
the famous remedy When he took
the Walls from the closet be saw on
the cork of one the letters IF. s." and
rubbed in half an ounce of the fluid.
His scalp didn't feel just right. 1t
itched. Then it burned. Finally it bills
tered. This was too much for Uncle
Cyrus, and he stuck his head in a pail
of cold water to cool it off When he
had been somewhat relieved he looked
in glass and nearly tainted on seeing
that his hair had turned a bright pink.
