Piety VS.. Business.

The business man sees some things
others don't. He sometimes sees the
earthly value Of heavenly things very
clearly. Take the foil owing from the
Wall Street Journal as an illusira-
ton "What American needs more
than railway extension and Western
irrigation and a low tariff and a big
ger wheat crop and a merchant ma
rne and a new navy is a revival Of
piety the kind mother and father

this country OF the filth Of graft and
Of greed, petty and big Of worship
Of fine houses and big lands and

CAPT. w. j. HILLsIAN, OF THIS
CITY, SOLD POLK COUNTY
PROPERTY
CONSIDERATION WAS $6OO,OOO
Twelve Thousand Acres of Rich Phos.
phate Land Sold by Capt. Hill
man to Fertilizer Company

Capt. w. ]. Hillman, of this city.
has sold to the Bradley Fertilizer
Company, of Boston, Mass, what is
said to be the finest body of phos-
phate lands in the state. There are
$4,000 acres of the land in the
tract, and the consideration was
S6OO,OOO. The land is situated in
what is known as the Chieora section
OF Polk county, and contains a large
number of rich deposits of high
grade phosphate.
About one year ago Capt. Hillman
bought this property from the Con-
solidated Land Company, of Jack
sonVille. After prospecting il to
some eVtent and finding seyral good
deposits of phosphate, he sold the
Bradley Fertilizer Company on Oh
ton, and after thoroughly prospect
ing the property they decided to buy
IL and the transfer of the property
was made the first of the week. This
tract of land heretofore has been
considered of value only for the tim
Ders-and it was very poorly tim
Dered-until Capt. Hillman had it
prospected when it was found to he
rich in phosphate. Then it became
a valuable property and the price
realized is about the greatest ever
received for piece of Florida phos-
plate property.
What profit Captain Hillman made
by developing the property is not
known, but it is safe to say that it
was handsome sum.

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS To-
DAY.
Child Labor Bill Passes and Internal
Improvement Fund Investigation
Will Be Continued.
Especial 20 the Democrat

Especial 20 the Democrat.)
Tallahassee, May z5-2 D. H.
The house this morning passed the
Harris Child Labor bill, which had
been previously passed by the senate.
Mr.. Griggs, of Franklin, succeeded in
getting an amendment attached on
making the age limit twelve years.
Under suspension of the rules the
mouse this morning railroaded
through the bill, which authorizes a
continuance of the Internal Improve
ment Fund investigation, appropriate
ing therefor the sum of $1,000, and
for a commission to carry on the
work. An attempt to have the Mas
sey railroad tax bill reconsidered in
the senate was turned down. Mr.
Decker got his bank bill through the
senate with some amendments tack
ed on to it which the house will have
to concur in if the measure passes.
Senator Willis had bill in prOVid-
ing for the marking of ballots by il
literates, which was killed by vote
of Is to II. The general revenue bill
has been the "casus belli" in the
senate today and the fights made on
it by the opponents of the bill is so
strong that it is very evident some
amendments will have to be accepted
or they will defeat the measure
thereby, making an extra session I'M
avoidable. Both houses will probably
hold afternoon sessions. Senate and
house have got down to hard work at
night sessions and work from now
until the closing day will be dis
patched at a 2:40 gait.

Observation-Disclosures

1
Mr.. Duncan, of Jasper, Fla, is
the name of a young man who was
recently confined in the Macon hos
pital for the period of a week and
half, but who last Thursday was suf-
ficently recovered from his sickness
to vaeate the hospital. No sooner
had this young man tasted the free
dom OF the outside than his thoughts
from the natural tendency that lovers
have, began to turn to her, who was
the choice of his heart. Being lust
recovered from a long sickness and
confinement, and enjoying to the full
est the freshness of renewed energy
and wanting nothing in this freedom
but her, Mr.. Duncan could not bear
the idea of separation and accordingly
sought the long distance telephone
and soon got connection with Rock
mart, Ga, where he had a long con-
versation with one Miss Millie Thorn
ason, and without more ado, for this
conversation was only intended for
two, the result of the whole matter
was that Miss Thmason hurriedIy
caught the next train for Macon, ar
irving in. this city at 4 o'clock on
Friday evening, where she met her
eager lover and arrangements were
soon begun for the marriage cere-
mony, which had to follow such a
determined action. Consequently, at
the LIST Methodist parsonage, Rev. w.
H. Budd, at o'clock yesterday after
noon, united the happy young couple
in the holy bonds of matrimony.
Mr.. Duncan. who is l 8 years of age.
is an enterprising young stenograph-
er of Jasper, Fla. Mrs. Duncan was
formerly of Carrolton, Ga, and ND
until Friday was attending school at
Rockmart, Ga She is also Is years
of age.
The young couple met each other
two years ago at Live Oak. Fla.
Where Mr.. Duncan was working as
stenographer, while Miss Thomson
was attending school. The two have
been contemplating marriage for
some time, but it was finally decided
last Thursday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Duncan will go to
Jasper, Fla, tomorrow, where thew
will make their home. The hapnv
young couple have the good wishes
OF all as they enter upon the matri-
monial tourney.-Macon Telegraph.

ton. At the request of Mr.. Farris,
the house sustained the governor s
veto to the Jacksonville charter bill
which he introduced, and he will
draw up another with the objection
able features eliminated. Mr.. Farris
said he believed the governor was
sincere in his veto, but his colleague,
Uncle Steve" severely criticized the
chief executive from his seat in the
house.
Senator Harris child labor bill
was debated in the house yesterday
afternoon, Mr.. Farris having it in
charge. 1t was amended on motion
of Mr.. Griggs by reducing the age
limit to twelve from fourteen years,
after a hard fight, and the amend
ment is regarded as one which Grip
pies the bill considerably, though Of
fered in good faith. 1t will be re-
sumed today, in all probability. The
house yesterday advanced to third
reading, 81 to Is, the DUPONT bill,
which provides that the question of
removing the capital to some point
east of the Suwannee river shall be
submitted to the people.
Last nights session of the house
was marked by the rnerciless slaugh-
ter of all the good roads bill, Mr..
Calkins acting as chief executioner
by offering motions to indefinitely
postpone each of the six measures.
The Smith bill received Is votes 10
go, the vote on the others being still
less favorable, and showing clearly
that there is no hope for the present
session of good roads legislation.
Counting today, the legislature has
but six days, except Sunday, for
closing of two tremendous calenders.

that Governor Broward will call a
