CREEK WAS
ASSAULTED
And Two Negroes Arrested
By Deputies, Charged
With the Crime.

A Greek stOrekeeper, who conducts
and LaRua streets, was the victim
Thursday night of an attack by two
negroes, and but for the fact that
another Greek appearing from the
rear of the stoBeb he, would perhaps
have been dealt with more severely
than was the case Two negroes,
Henry White and Ed Mosely, have
been arrested by Deputies Sanders
and Johnson and are held in the
county Jail upon the charge of being
the parties who assaulted the Greek
According to the story of the Greek
he was closing his store late Thurs
day night, when two negroes ap-
peared Both without any warning
hurled stones at him, two or three of
them striking him and inficting very
painful, though not dangerous in
juries. He attempted to dodge the
stones. which we're hurled by the
negroes who were only short dis
called for help. A Greek who was
asleep in the rear of the store, and
of whose presence the negroes knew
nothing appeared, and as soon as he
did the negroes fed.
From the description furnished by
the Greek the deputies arrested the
two negroes.
The Greek stated that no trouble
existed between him and the two ne
groes, and the latter had nothing
to say before commencing their fusi-
lade upon him.

An Easy Answer

How can l get an article In your
paper:" asked a correspondent OF a
certain journal. 'It all depends on
the article you want to get into our
paper" replied the editor. IF the
article is small in bulk. like hair
brush or a tea caddy, spread the paper
out upon the floor and, placing the ar
ticle in the center. wrap it up by care
fully folding the edges over it and tie
with a string. This will keep the arti-
Gle from slipping out of the paper
If. on the other hand, the article is an
English bathtub or a clotheshorse you
would better not try 1t at ALL"

Fair Will Be =
Held as Usual.

Replying to The Pensacola Jour-
nails question:
IF Tampa is to have the Panama
exposition in 1908, what does she in
tend to do with the state fair, or does
Tampa intend to do away with the
state fair until after she pulls off the
Panam show?" The Tribune says:
ITO the best of the Tribune's
knowledge and belief, the state fair
will be held in Tampa next fall as
usual. 1t would never do to omit it,
after having witnessed the splendid
results of the past. People generally
look forward to the event, and must
not be disappointed. 1t is altogether
of different character from such an
affair as the Isthmian exposition
will be, the latter being international
in meaning and intended peculiarly to
celebrate the commencement of work
on the great interoceanic canal

Compulsory Voting
Is Advocated.

The subject of compulsory voting
has been discussed from time to time
all over the country, but with appar-
emily little effect. In some countries,
we believe, citizens are required by
law to vote on election day, but in
this great American republic of ours
the sovereign citizen is allowed to do
as he pleases when it comes to
casting a ballot.
We rather like the position taken
by the Paducah, KY, Register which,
In advocacy of compulsory voting
says: The laggards in voting are
not found among politicians, wire
pullers, ward heelers and buns. but
among that class known as good citi-
gems"
Regrettable as it may be, it is
nevertheless true that this class
known as good citizens" contains
more nonvoters than any OF the other
classes, and the worst of II is, they
refuse to recognize the enormiry OF
@ear ofense against the principles of
democratic government.
AT the same time, the veg 2rinci-
pies of democracy are opposed to
anything savoring of compulsion when
1t comes to voting. The man who re-
fuses TO vote is exercising a right
that is quite as clear as the one
who makes a practice of voting and it
Is evident that any measure seeking
TO force him TO vote would be quite as
obnoxious TO democratic principles as
would measure which sought to pro.
hibit his voting
The Register suggests, however
and We think the suggestion a good
one-that it would be proper to dis.
franchise, for period at least, all
men who refuse TO take advantage of
the privilege of voting. This idea,
while not compelling a man 70 vote,
would nevertheless induce practically
every citizen to visit the polls and
cast his ballot on election day, when
