Valuable Publication.
The immigration issue of the Jackson
vile Industrial Record contains one
hundred and thirty-two pages and Is
model of typographical neatness. The
cover page Is in four colors and the en-
tire edition printed on a fine grade of
enamelIed book paper. In this special
number several tons of paper have been
consumed and the whole completed
work represents an expenditure Of sew
eral thousand dollars.
The chief merit of the edition, how
ever. is in the character OF the reading
matter contained ther ein-the valu0tO
Florida generally that this edition will
be. There are over two hundred arti-
cles all told from cover to cover, and
every one of them Of great benefit to
Florida. The introduction, q most
stirring appeal for an investigation Of
FlOrida's opportunities and resources,
was written by j. A. Hoffman, and it
is published in several foreign Ian
guages, so that it may be read by the
foreign farmers in the Central and
Northwest, and, in fact, around the
globe.
Besides the staff members, Governor
Broward, S. H. Gaitskill, z. c. Cham
bliss, Edwin Brobston, Walter P. Cor
bett, Mayor Sebring, ]. N. Whitner,
Rev. c. A. Ridley, w. M. Cory and
many others, furnished valuable arti-
cles on the many and varied opportu-
mites and advantages in an industrial
way in Florida. Tallahassee and Leon
county, too was in the issue.
The Current View.
Quoting and commenting on an edi-
torial which appeared recently in the
Tribune concerning the real attitude of
this paper toward the Internal I'M
provement Board, the Live Oak Demo
crat assumes exactly our attitude, de-
claring that 1.-THE Tampa Tribune
doubtless speaks for many other papers
in Florida, as we'll as itself, in printing
it's view of the case" The Democrats
words are almost an echo of our own:
There has been much criticism of a
rather scornful I-told-you-so' charac-
ter because the editors summoned as
witnesses before the committee at Tai
lahassee investigating the records Of
the Board of Internal Improvement
didn't know anything after they got
there. They didn't seem to be able to
make good in revealing the details of
all the alleged graft and corruption of
which we have heard 80 much in q
vague, indefinite kind of way in the
public prints, and the champions of the
board are scornfully hilarious in conse-
quence For our part, we charged no
graft nor corruption, and had no kn6eTl-
edge Of anything Of that kind, but we
were very much opposed to the extraor-
binary powers claimed by this board,
and which made it in effect q distinct
department of the government, respon-
sible only to itself for its conduct.
That is the whole case in a nutshell.
Florida is a thoroughly democratic
State, and the existence of an irrespon-
sible and autOcratic board as a factor in
government is incompatible with the
principles Of democracy. The Tribune,
as a paper loyal to the tenets of democ-
racy, will never countenance so serious
a breach of principle. Tampa Tribune

A dispatch Of July 9th, from CoIum-

duel
1.-TWO drivers Of automobiles fought
a terrible duel here with their machines
as weapons. They are Joe Medlam, Of
this city, and Eugene e. Reyer, Of Ko-
komo, each an agent for his particular
type Of car.
IAN accidental collision started the
row. Both men became angry and,
putting on full speed. charged each
other. Time and again they crashed to-
gether. each trying TO put the other
machine ont Of action. They would
back away, then charge again, until the
tenders OF Medlam's machine were so
bent 1t wouldn't run
"Medlam then became more angry
than ever and leaped into the other car.
He began TO pummel Reyer, but the po-
lice put an end to IT,. Perhaps it beats

SILVER KINGS
AT ST. MARKS
TArpOn causht4-Great SPOrt with
King OF Sea at Sc. Marks.

NINA u Sea ~ ~. lAEAss
The tarpOn, known as the king Of
the sea-" is one of the gamest of fish,
and a very rare catch. It has been a
number of years since one Of these
fighting fellows has been caught in the
waters near Tallahassee.
Last week a party of three, MeSsrs.
A. ID. Zachary, w. A. Zachary and B.
NJ. Gates, went on q trip to St. Marks
to have some sport with rod and reel
Several times before they had fished in
those waters and had had strikes from
tarpon, but never had the tackle been
sufficient to hold the active monsters.
This time they were better prepared,
so they set out to Gland some" after
supper, They were fishing of Farley's
bar, and had caught q nice string Of
fish, when the tarpcn came up. They
had numbers of strikes, and for q while
it seemed as if they were not going to
land one, for, as soon as they would
take hold of the hook, off would go line
and all.
Mr.. A. d. Zachary had been rather
generous with his line and only had
forty yards of No. 1S cuttahunk left.
He had his eyes open for the next OPP
portunity, and Mr.. Tarpon did not take
him unawares. AS soon as the fish was
hooked he began his gigantic stunts,
leaping out of the water for yards at q
time. Mr.. Zachary had lost enough
tackle on these gents before, and had
about learned the art of teasing them
properly, giving off line when the flsh
would leap and lunge, and taking It
back as soon as circumstances would
allow. For fOrty.fi FIVE minutes this ter
rife battle lasted. Numbers Of times
the gamester darted off at 2:40 gait,
and It seemed as if he would never
stop; but the careful handling OF the
rod on the part of Mr.. Zachary finally
brought the old boy TO taw, conquered
just whipped out. Leading him up near
the boat, he saw the silver side turn
up and then over, and be knew his first
tarpon was caught. Mr.. w. A. Zach
airy assisted the mighty king Of the
briny deep into the boat, whore he was
soon gathered TO his fathers.
Mr.. Zachary used cut mullet for bait,
cuttahunk line and q blue steel hook.
Il was 1880 at night when the fish was
landed. The tarpon Il q beauty having
large silvery scales about the size Of
dollar; weight, sixty pounds. -
This will no doubt make st. Marka a
very popular fishing place.

Acidentnl KiIlina.

Last Friday afternoon a great excite
ment prevailed among the colo ed
dwelers in the southeastern part of
town, occasioned by the accidental
shooting of a little negro girl named
Eliza Moore, aged about nine years.
Judge Meginniss was notified and a
coroner's jury formed, which immedi-
ately began an investigation of the
case
The child killed WAS sitting on the
steps of her grandmother house. An
older sister, about twelve years old,
was washing out some clothes in the
yard near by, and hearing a shot, looked
up in time to see the younger girl fall
down the steps with her brains blown
out.
1t seems that loaded gun was lean
ing against the wall just in side the
door, and q little brother of the two
girls, in crawling about on the floor,
Knocked 1t down. It fell at such an an
gle as to shoot the child on the steps
full In the head.
The jury found a verdict agreeing
with the evidence given by several
persons in the near neighborhoOd, which
when condensed, was as above stat
ed,

HON. FRANK ADAMS
TO FLORIDLANS
he VIII Not be = Candidate for United
States Senator This Time.

To the people Of Florida:
Some time ago feeling that had
served as Senator from this county long
enough, and reasoning that the county
would not suffer by ''ofice rotation," l
rendered to Governor Broward my res
ignation, to take effect at the general
election in 1908, at which time my sue
cessor could be chosen. This action on
my part seems to have been accepted
as evidence that would be a candidate
for the United States Senate. This was
not so intended.
He whose bosom would not swell
with pardonable pride at the reception
of assurances Of esteem and support that
have reached me from press and people
while associating my name with the
United States SenatOrship would have
to be void Of appreciation, and low In
the scale of manhood. These letters,
personal assurances and newspaper
kindnesses go far toward making life
worth living, and will be remembered
and eherished as long as treason sits
enthroned"
That man who says that he does not
want to go to the United States SEN
ate leaves room for doubt as to his sin
certify, and yet there are reasons why
a mans ambition should be voluntarily
surrendered or forcibly restrained. I
have two good and sufficient reasons
why / cannot consent to attempt am

family: The most of my children are
now at that age, the important forma-
tive period of character, where a

most freely given and most carefully
exercised. The second reason is: My
business associates, and they number a
good many, had a right to feel when
they linked their future with mine that
they would haze the benefit of such
business assistance as my presence
would afford. These men enter a serious
objection, feeling that If were sue
cessful ] would be away from my bust
ness the most Of each year. However,
If IN the years to come lease of life Is
given, and my domestic and business
affairs go shaped that / can afford 1t,
and q sufficient number of voters will
commission me ! shall gladly attempt
to represent, In part, our beloved State
in the upper branch of our Notional
Congress,
ana not sufficiently egotistical as to
feel that my being in the race, or out
of 1t, will TO any degree affect Florida g
political situation. This is written sole
~ as q sense of duty to political friends
to free them for such action as their
good judgment may direct.
With b heart filled with gratitude to
the people and press of Florida, am
with great respect,

It's fact; there are few papers
in Florida that if "A real live, original
editorial should find itself within their
columns it would cause the press TO
stop, the chases to burst and the office
cat to commit suicide. None of these
things, however, have happened in sew
eral of these Offices in many moons. -
Manatee Record.
The Tribune is surprised to note the
foregoing and would, to begin with, suR-
gest to Editor WalpOle that it would be
quite a delight to his friends and
might confound his enemies should he
take his own advice and publish
real live, original editorial in the
Record. If, modestly recognising his
own deficiencies, he realizes the hope
lessness of such an effort, one would
think an apology TO the capable editors
Of the state press to be IN order and
q resolve to abstain in the future from
unwarranted and slanderous mud sling
ing.
The press of the State Of Florida,
from start TO finish, compares most fav-
oTably with that of any state OF the
Union. No man with gumption who

tors are fully alive to the issues of
the hour, and the needs Of their COM

cellence they have attained Is a con-
spicuous tribute to the men of vim, and

and in the face of obstacles that would
have driven the less courageous TO i'm

triumphed gloriously in their arduous
tasks. Tampa Tribune.
