accused every chance that he is fairly
entitled to, and would prevent many
of the gross perversions of justice in
which trials SO often result. Why
not allow majority to rule in the
jury room as we'll as elsewhere.
Our criminal laws need amendment
in other respects. There are too many
reversals of verdicts on mere technl-
calities which do not affect the ques-
ton of guilt. This was shown in the
Rawlings case in Georgia.
These thoughts have come to us
while thinking of the brutal murder
of Mr.. McCarty. The papers report
that the murderer expressed no regret
except that he did not succeed in kill
ing two other men, Yet we have no
doubt that lawyers will be found who:
for large fee, will keep the case in
the courts for years, on various qulb-
bles which have no Importance or real
bearing on the guilt or innocence Of
the prisoner 1t is time for an i'm
provement of the law
We Americans pride ourselves ON
having the best system of govern
ment in the world, but we think that
the law processes of the English
courts are very much better. They
have no appeal from court to court on
mere tecnicalities, nor such long de-
lays that often defeat justice by the
death of important witnesses.

Hon. G. T. McCarty.

1t is with deep regret that we find
ourselves called upon to announce the
sudden death of Hon. C. T. McCarty,
who was shot down on the street
in Fort Pierce, on January, goth.
1t would have been a sad loss that
would be greatly deplored, if he had
died in his bed after a lingering i'll
ness, but that he should be shot in
the back by cowardly assassin, is.
something which excites feelings
which the English language is too
poor to express.
We had but little personal acquain-
lance with Mr.. McCarty, having only
met him at the meetings on the Flori-
da State Horticultural Society. He
was a pleasant gentleman and a good
presiding officer His loss will be
greatly felt by numerous circle of
friends and acquaintences
To his mourning family we can on
ly offer our most sincere sympathy in
their bereavment We trust that they
may be able to realize that there is
only One who can comfort them in
their affection, our Heavenly Father
who doeth all things we'll

Defective Criminal Laws.

We have never approved Of lynch
ing. We believe that all criminals are
entitled to fair trial, no matter what
the offense. And we do not under
stand how any man, with sufficient
intelligence and education to edit a
newspaper, can advocate lynch law
under any circumstances. Yet there
are some who do.
Still we are not surprised that people
are dissatisfied with the administra-
ton of justice, or rather Of injustice,
under Our present system of crimi-
nal law. 1t is said that a white man
cannot be hung in Florida, because
no jury can be found that will vote
unanimously for such verdict. 1t
is time that the law should be chang
ed so that one man cannot hang
the jury and thus prevent the hang
ing of the criminal. Why should we
require twelve men to see question
of law and evidence exactly alike?
It is impossible in other cases. In fact,
it has come to a point where unanl-
nous agreement is seldom reached
except acquittal or very much lower
degree of guilt than the evidence
proves.
A two-thirds vote, or at most a
three-quarters vote, would give the

Free Seeds"

A recipient of a package of the
trashy garden seeds, sent out by the
ton as vote-getters by all the rural
congressman, returned them to the
sender with the letter given below.
If all the receivers of such seeds
who now toss them aside unused,
would do likewise, every congressman
would need barn to store this rub
Dish and about 100000 would remain
in the U. S. Treasury in future, for
some useful purpose.
This is the letter:
The Hon. Frank Clark, M. C.
Dear Sir: A package of ordinary
garden seeds has come, franked by
you to my address.
[ do not wish to appear ungrateful
for what was undoubtedly intended
as friendly act, but self respect COM
pels be to ask you to strike my name
from the list of recipients. No in
telligent person plants this class of
government seeds" and it is not
pleasant to be classed among the
benefciaries of this form of petty
graft.
Of course my time and land are at
the disposal of the Department to
test untried plants, to the extent Of
my limited ability to render this SER
vice, at any time.
Yours truly,
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-02-13

County loses one, if not the most,
progressive and substantial citizens.
He was identified with and often the
leading spirit in any movement for
progress and the betterment of the
East Coast section. Mr.. McCarty was
lawyer of remarkable ability, one
of the leading real estate dealers of
this section, president of the local
Board of Trade, president of the Flor
ida State Horticultural Society, and a
leading member of every local organ

Express Rates on Fruits and Vege-
tables.

The Agriculturist has received a
number of severe criticisms of the
Southern Express Company because
of a supposed increase in their rates
on fruits and vegetables, or rather an
increase in the weights of standard
packages at the old rate per hundred
pounds. Upon investigation it seems
that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission is responsible for the increase,
and that some of the express compan-
les, as we'll as the shippers, are OBJ
jecting to the ruling of the commits
sion. The most active in it's opposi-
ton is the Wells-Fargo Company,
which is making an effort to have the
commission continue as far as posi-
bic the charge per package as hereto
fore.
AS we understand it the express
companies had a tariff of estimated
weights which were used for vegeta-
bic shipments. That is, packages of
uniform sizes are used by the shippers
and it has been customary to charge
a certain size SO much, another size,
another rate, etc., the rate per package
being about 70 per cent of the actual
weight Of the package but when the
new rate law went into effect the In
terstate Commerce Commission de-
cided the actual weights must be TAX
en- If the actual weights are taken it
will mean that 80 per cent more must
be paid on these packages, and it
means the actual physical effect of
weighing every package, which will
be more work than an ordinary force
of men can do in the time which will
be allowed in handling the perishable
stuff. The growers and shippers have
been complaining of this, and now the
Wells-Fargo has gone to the commits
sion with full explanation, hoping
to be allowed to use the estimated
wfights on interstate shipments
The outcome of these efforts will be
watched with interest by the Florida
truckers, as any change in the COM
missions ruling will apply to ship
ments from all sections alike.
