They laid beside the road in helpless condition for 36 hours, when they were found by Mex ican sheepherder and helped to their home.

WILL RUN
AGAIN, SAYS RUMOR

A dispatch from Omaha, Neb,, gives
out the statement that president
Roosevelt will accede to the wishes of
the people and accept the nomination
for another term" This statement
was made by Seldom p. Spencer, of st.
Louis, who went to Omaha to meet Sec
rotary of War, VIM. H. Taft, and Incl
dentally to make an address before the
Young Mems Christian Association at
the dedication of its new building.
Judge Spencer, for six years, was a cir
cult Judge Of the Missouri courts at st.
Louis. When interviewed, Judge Spen-
Ger admitted that he was in the city on
a mission to Secretary Taft, whom he
will accompany on his trip from Omaha
to Kansas City. 81 have just returned
from Washington" continued Judge
Spencer. IL was there on matters
political. At this time | am not per-
mitted to give out information officially,
but can say that the president has re-
Gently considered very carefully the
matter of accepting the nomination at
the hands of the Republican party for
another term. If he believes it is the
true wish of the people, he will do so. +"
This report is not taken seriously, as if
it were true that President Roosevelt
had met with this reported change of
mind, it would not be made public in
any such manner as this.

GOV. HOKE SMITH FOR
DISFRANCHISEMENT

In his inaugural address Governor
elect Hoke Smith openly advocated the
dsfranchisement of negroes through
educational tests. He declared his de-
termination to prevent lynchings or
mob violence in Georgia during his adj
minstration. In view of the fact Gov
ernor Smith is possible candidate for
vice president on the democratic ticket,
some of his utterances are significant.
Smith urged the abolition of railroad
passes, and declared it should be crime
for corporation to contribute cam
paign funds. He urged the constitu-
tional amendment fixing new standard
on franchise qualifications. fledeclared
that members of some particular race
should not be denied suffrage on ac-
count of race or color. etc, but because
they are short of the educational stand
ard set by the state of Georgia. he
advocated local option and protection
for the "dry' communities from the
"iug trade" He declared that the in
f.riority of the black race must be rec
oynized and he said teach the negro

less books and more work. lie recog-

LOCAL BANK MAKES
SPLENDID SHOWING

Few of our people realize the tremen-
dous amount of business transacted at
our local banking institution, the Bank
of Fort Pierce, but to say that it is one
of the leading financial institutions Of
the State is not giving it undue credit.
The statement of the condition of this
bank issued at the close of business
June Goth, shows its total resources to
be 1926, 96O.S7, and its deposits have
passed the quarter million mark, to be
exact 1851, 547. 46, which is more than
$40 for every man, woman and child in
st. Lucie county. While this condition
speaks highly of the bank and its Off
GERS, it also tells volumes in favor of
the productiveness, natural resources
and industry of our people, which makes
it possible for them to have on deposit
in this bank more than a quarter mil
lion dollars
