is the owner of steam railroad.
The history of his railroad fur
nishes a most significant example
of the use of the referendum. In
1896 the politicians resolved to
sell this property. They had to
proceed under an enabling act
which the Ohio legislature had
passed ten years before. The
Cincinnati council took the prelim-
inary steps and the road was to go
for song.
But it chanced that the legis.
later had placed in the enabling
act the provision that the sale, to
be valid, must be ratified by d.
rect vote of the people. The vote
was taken and the road was saved.
Subsequently the people rati-
fed sixty-year lease of the road.
What that one referendum vote
was worth to the city of Cincinnati
may be determined by COM
parison of the two contracts the
one which the people rejected and
the one which they accepted. A
member of the board of sinking
fund trusts, Mr.. George w. Har-
ris, was asked for an opinion as to
what the 1896 referendum saved
the city. In reply Mr.. Harris
made an analysis of these con.
tracts in letter which is append
ed to the present pamphlet. Mr..
Harris conclusion is that this
referendum in one hundred years.
time will have saved the city
1922, 100000. Two and a quarter
year for 100 years this
is what the politicians would
have squandered if that enabling
act had not contained referen-
dunn clause.
These are startling figures and
have profound lesson. The
people of Cincinnati had no con-
stitutional right to vote ON the
sale of their railroad. That was

The St. Lucie County tribune. (Fort Pierce, St. Lucie County, Fla.) 1905-1920, 1907-02-01

resulted from n land deal pending
between Rawlinson and Barranger'
As stated in THE TRIBUNE II few
weeks ago, French capitalists, through
their agent, Mr. Barranger, negotiated
for the purchase of property from
Rawlinson for$lS,0O0. Mr.. Baranger,
before finally closing the deal, arranged
for careful survey Of the property
and found it six acres short Of the
designated area. He next secured Il
complete abstract of the title and
found, among other things, that a
Judgment had been given against the
property to Mr. Cobb for the sum of
$1,000. He then went to Rawlinson and
stated that the title would have to be
cleared before the deal for the property
could be closed. Rawlinson, knowing
that Mr.. McCarty was attorney for Mr..
Barranger, became greatly enraged at
what had been done, and threatened
both Mr. McCarty and Mr.. Cobb
That he fully intended to make good
his threat is evidenced by the fac. that
he drove into town early Wednesday
morning and seated himself ON the
steps of the Atlantic hote, to await
the coming of Mr.. Cobb to his break
fast. 1t so happened that Mr.. Cobb
had risen at 3 O'Clock to accompany
his parents to the train, and in return
ing got an early breakfast at the hote
and went to the store before Rawinsor
arrived. Thus his life was in all
probability remarkably saved.
While waiting for Mr.. Cobb, Rawlin
son saw Mr.. McCarty enter the barber
shop. He Immediately quilted his posi-
and followed him in. 1t is stated that
he walked through the shop while Mr.
McCarty was being shaved and wake,
ut again, taking his stand at the dool
of the drug store, and when Mr.. Me
Carly came out accomplished hi,
fie adish purpose. He was locked ul
| in the town calaboose for few hours
when Dan McCarty, son OF G. u. Me
Carly, arranged with the contractor tC
ha ye the prisoner removed to the safel
co fines of the new county Jail.
Mr.. McCarty, meanwhile, was re
moved to the home of his son. Here
tn, doctors probed in vain for the
bullets for some time when a Telegram
was sent to the hospital at st. Angus
tine asking that Dr.. Worley and hi.
x-ray machine be sent here at once by
special train. Vice-President Parrot
wired back that DR.. Worley could no
come, but that he had arranged for ,
noted surgeon to come up from Palm
Beach by fast motorboat, specia
engine not being available. In tn
meantime the doctors continued t

probe the wounds, and at l:lO p. M
discovered that the bullet had barely
entered the brain and that death was
inevitable. And at :45 Mr.. McCarty
passed away.
The body was taken to the McCarty
home at Eldred, where it will lie in
state until Sunday.
AS a token of the respect in which
Mr. McCarty is held in Port Pierce,
the flags Of the schoolhouse, ice factory,
business houses and private residences
have been at half mast since his death,
and will remain so until after the
funeral on Sunday
The loss of Mr.. McCarty, not only to
Fort Pierce and st. Lucie county, but
to the State as well, is irreparable.
No other man, perhaps, was SO closely
identified with the advancement and
development of this section and the
general progress of the State.
As a scientific horticulturist he spen t
nearly twenty years of incessant labor
in studying the soil and climatic con-
ditons of the East Coast of Florida,
conducting invaluable agricultural and
horticultural experiments, opening up
hitherto undeveloped areas, and at
tracing capital here by actual demon
STATIONS of what could be done. His
ability in this line was recognized by
his being made president of the Florida
Horticultural Society for several years,
in which capacity he served with in
mitable OH ,ieacy to the time of his
dea Il.
Mr.. McCarty was a lawyer of no
mean ability. Equipped with splendid
education, a thorough knowledge of
the law, he was one of the leading
legal lights Of the State, clear thinker
IA forceful and an eloquent speaker. His
principal work, however, was in land
title research, in which he was emf
nently successful. At the time of his
death he was attorney for the board OF
public instruction and also for the town
of Fort Pierce.
Mr.. McCarty was man of means
and property, owning the largest pine
apple plantation in the world, besides
large tracts of land, improved and un
improved, in st. Lucie county. He was
a director and principal stakeholder II
the Bank of Fort Pierce, and was iden
titled with many enterprises in III
town and county.
At the time Of his death he wa

trade and chairman of the special ex

At OILS Wednesday morning the peo-
pie of Fort Pierce were startled by the
firing of five shots in quick succession
and when it was learned that c. 7. Nc
Carly was shot and MORALLY wounded
by w. c. RawinsOn, CONSERVATION
reigned. Men ran from all parts of
the town to the scene of the tragedy,
and many We're the helping hands
stretched to assist the PROSTATE man.
In few minutes the news flashed by
telephone to all parts of town, White
City, Jensen and Eden, and soon the
greater part of the county had received
the awful intelligence.
The tragedy took place in front of
Edges barber shop, near the corner OF
Pine street and Palmetto avenue. Mr..
McCarty was coming out of the barber
shop, having just had his morning
shave, and was turning to go up the
street, when Rawlinson, who was
standing in drug store door within five
feet of him, began shooting at him
from behind. At the first shot, which
struck him in the back, under the
heart, Mr.. McCarty fell forward on his
face; the next shot took effect in the
back of the head at the base Of the
brain. Mr.. McCarty then turned oven
on his back and thus prostrated gazed
at his assassin who continued his deadly
work until his revolver was empty.
Only one of the three remaining shots
struck, this passing entirely through
the leg
As quickly as possible Drs VanLand
ingham and Rollins arrived on the
scene and set about rendering assistance
to the injured man. He was taker
upstairs to DR.. Platts office and every
thing possible was done to alleviate his
suffering and save his life. While the
doctors were working over him Mr.
McCarty called repeatedly for his wife
who arrived few minutes later anc
never left his side until his death. lie
next asked why he had been thus
assaulted by Rawlinson, and if the
assailant had yet been captured.
Rawlnson, after shooting Mr.. Nc
Carly, coolly walked down Pine street
twirling the deadly weapon in hi
hands, and continued eisurely arount
the square to Cartons meat market
where he entered and called for Sheriff
Carlton to whom he told the story o.
the tragedy and gave himself up
Rawlnson stated that he had but Ont

AUTOMOBILE
TOURNAMENT
o rmond-Daytona Annual Meet
Almost Ended Fatally
STEAMER WAS WRECKED
Marriolt Severely Injured and Racer
Demolished Rule Out Steamers
In future Events

The fifth annual automobile tourna-
meat just finished, on the Ormond-
Daytona beach, has been decided dis
appointment. Many world renowned
ra ,ers failed to appear for the reason
tn It the Stanley steamer, the most
wonderful racing machine on Wheels
WAS permitted to enterthe tournament
S ill there was some very creditable
deriving. few records established, and
with the bug bear Stanley racer for
ev IL out of the running, interest may
be tded over until next winter when it
is hoped there will be an international
participation worthy of the name.
The most important event of the
100 mile race, won by Edward Blakely
in an American Mercedes 7O.horsepowea
car in ST minutes, 10 seconds. This
les not break the worlds record for
that distance.
The only worlds record broken was
that of one mile for motor cycle, which
was accomplished by William Ray in
Al 2-5 seconds.
The tragic end of the meet came
when Fred Marriott, in the famous 80
horsepower Stanley steamer, tried to
lower his phenomenal record of one
mile in % l-5 seconds made last year at
Ormond. He had made two trials, time
go AS and go S,5 seconds respectively,
when it was announced that he would
make the third attempt. After care
fully testing his machinery he drove
away for two-mie flying start, and
was driving the long torpedo shaped
car at speed probably never before
attained, when a rough spot on the
course was encountered causing the
m lchne to leave the track, turn over
and over, and finally explode, shauter-
in it to fragments and all but killing
the nervy driver.
The latest reports are to the effect
that Marriott will survive the awful
accident although he is frightfully
bruised and lacerated. The famous
steamer was blown to atoms and when
Marriott regained consciousness he had
the remnants gathered and photo
graphed.
Two changes are proposed for next
years meet. One is to change the
date until some time In March, and the
second is to change the rules of the
A nerican Automobile Association so
that steam cars will be in class by
tn smselves. The fact that the Chicago
show opens Monday kept many away
from the Ormond- Daytona meet.
About ninety days ago manufac-
turer of gasoline cars sent out circular
letters to all other manufacturers of
that class of cars requesting them to
refrain from participating in the
Ormond-Daytona meet for the reason
that Stanley was permitted to enter
his steamers in the same event.
The famous "Mud-Lsrk, the Oldsmo-
bile car which made the recent trip
from New York to Daytona, was a
conspicuous figure on the beach during
the meet, and Owen, the driver, was
one of the popular heroes.
