London, May AFTER a tour of

were made to Hamburg Bremen,
Vienna and other places, with the OBJ
ject of inducing emigration to Geor-
gia, Governor Hoke Smith and party
are making a brief sojourn here
Governor Smith told the Associat-
ed Press today that his trip had been
successful, and that heShad succeed
ed in removing much prejudice against
emigration to the southern states.
He said he had been promised that
number of ships would sail direct
from European ports to Savannah,
and that others would make Savan-
nah a port of call. Some good work
had been done in Scotland, whence
the stream of emigration to Georgia
already had started.
Governor Smith said it was his in
tention to appoint agents at Ham
burg, Bremen, Vienna, Glasgow and
other ports to encourage desirable
| emigrants. The governor and his
marty will sail for New York tomor'
row.
The entertainment planned by the
| American colony were not carried

here. but he met many Americans
and was a guest IN the distinguished

Omaha, May IA number Of

society was formed several months

within the last year by young wo-

Immediately upon the objection of
Mr.. MacWilliams, of St. Johns, that
it would shut of a debate. Mr.. Paul
spoke very briefly declaring his be-
lief that the people of the Pinellas
Peninsula had righteous cause. and
the legislature should give them what
they asked. Mr.. Parkinson expressed
the same opinion at greater length,
holding that the legislature should
decide the case upon its merits, and
not upon the question of whether a
majority of the people of the county
desired it or not, saying that the
thirteen colonies revolted without
asking the consent of the majority
of the people of Great Britain, and
that the southern states seeded
without asking the consent of ma
jority of the people of the north. The
constitution empowered the legisla-
ture to create new counties in order
to prevent a majority from impos-
ing upon the minority, and to secure
to the minority a local self govern
ment. He was deciding this
case on its merits, irrespective OF
whether it helped or hindered his
prospects of securing the passage of
his bill for the division of Volusia
county.

to the effect that the committee. him
self included, was prejudiced in re-
gard to county division were except

he did not care to discuss the merits

TWO MEN SHOT - ONE DEAD

FRANK MICHAflS Is DEAD
Kemp Is WOunded-Trouble Com

Play-Both Well Known Men

White Springs, May In a shoot
ing ARRAY at Camps Mills, near here,
this Afternoon, T. ]. Kemp was seri-
ously shot by Frank Micheals, who.
in turn, was shot and MORALLY
wounded by Kemp, dying about an
hour and a half later. 1t is thought
that Kemp will live.
The two men and three or four
others were at the mill and got to
skylarking, it being alleged that they
had been drinking.
1t is claimed that Micheals was
slapping one of his companions in
the face when Kemp interposed, say
ing that he, Michaels, could not slap
him that way.
Michaels then advanced to Kemp
and began slapping him, but when
Kemp seemed to get the better OF
him, Michaels drew his pistol and
shot Kemp just below the border of
the ribs on the right side, the ball
lodging just beneath the skin in the
back.
Kemp then knocked the pistol out
of Michaels hand, picked it up and
fired twice at his assailant, one ball
passing just below the right eye, and
the other above the left eye.
DR.. Stith was summoned, but he
found Michaels dying. He lived only
one hour and half.
DR.. Stith cut the bullet out of the
back of Kemp and dressed his
wounds. 1t is thought that Kemp will
live.
Kemp is a man about 35 years old,
and is married. Michael is about the
same age and is unmarried

GOLD LOST IN SHIPMENT.
Why Bankers Prefer to Send Precious
Metal In Bars.

when the banks ship gold across
the Atlnatic," said a banker, they
prefer to ship it in bars rather than
in coin. 1t loses less that way"
1T loses less?"
Yes, sir. If $1,000, 900 in gold coin
is shipped across the sea it is only
$999,S00 on its arrival. 1t loses from
IL to Is ounces, about 5000, through
abrasion, through knocking about with
the motion of the waves. The sea
makes gold lose weight, you see, the
same as it does human beings.
Gold bars lose less. In fine
weather they will lose only about
$500 to each million. In the ugliest
weather they can't lose more than
$3.50, whereas in like conditions gold
coins have been known to lose $500.
"As gold shipments of s1O.000.000
often occur, to make these shipments
in gold bars instead of gold coin is
a saving of $1,000 or more.
1T is odd to think when you cross
in one of those gold laden ships that
every wave that hits the boat clips of
10 to Is cents from its golden cargo

DIFFICULT TO STEER A SHIP.
Man at~the Helm Works with the Cur
+; .tains Tightly Drawn.

b 20
( The work of steering a great ship,
even with-the aid of all the machinery.
is much. more delicate than one would
imagine. The larger and faster the
ship the greater is the difficulty. 1t Is
not enough to hold the wheel in the
same position to keep the ship on her
course. for the wind and waves and
the currents of the ocean tend con-
stantly to knock the ship of her
course. The great wall of steel-for
the hull may be 700 feet long and so
feet high-offers a broad target for
the wind and waves.
The ait of steering is to humor the
ship to these forces and when she is
detected to bring her back quickly to
her course. If you could watch the
pinnacle, especially in bad weather.
you would see the needle of the com
pass constantly shifting from side to
side, which means that the great
steel PROV Is not going forward in
perfectly straight line.
The most astonishing thing about
the bridge is to find the wheelhouse
with all its curtains tightly drawn,
as often happens, and the man at the
helm steering the boat without see
ing ahead at ALL At night or even
by day, if the light of the pinnacle
is confusing, the wheelhouse is often
completely shut in: The man at the
wheel, it is explained, does not need
to look ahead The lookout high up
In the crows nest" and the officer
on watch on the bridge will keep him
informed If any object is sighted The
duty of the man at the wheel is to
keep the ship on her course Through
out his watch of four hours he must
keep his eyes on the compass and no
where else.-St. Nicholas.
