At recent meeting of the DcLand
Business League, according to the News
of that city, the agitation started in
Daytona about dividing the county was
brought up, but so little was thought of
the possibility of dividing the county
and thus increasing taXation-that the
speakers wouldn warm up at all. If
the Daytona movement doeSn' / die out
of its own accord, the Business League
will appoint committees to show the
people what the result would be should
: the county be divided -
The division of Nolusia county has
reached such an acute stage and the
sentiment of the coast people is 50
overwhelmingly in favor of such prop
oSitlon that we are at loss to under
stand of what avail wouIG be the APP
polntment of puny committees to coun-
tCract the effect of this tidal wave for
division. We think II Is more probable
that our DcLand friends recognize the
futiHty of warming up on the qucS-
ton of division and like sensible people
are preparing themselves to accept the
inevitable, and become a united, happy
family III their isolation from more pro-
gressive and thriving communities.
But how different the News speaks
when discussing the question from an
editorial viewpoint 1t is too hate now
for the coast cyIicS To be moved by such
qualifications ~ the following.
"Volusia county is one of the few
counties III the state containing such
thriving, prosperous towns as DeI.nnd,

the Legislature. There appears to be a hope throughout this section of the State that the Legislature will adopt Llocal option law. It is predicted that the anti-saioon league and the anti- whiskey element in the State will make big gains and that more strenuous laws against the liquor traff1c, will be adopted this time than ever before.
 Many of the towns and cities in the State are interested in bills proposed for allowing more authority to the mu- nicipalities Many of the towns and cities are complaining of being handi- capped by the limited power given them under the present laws. Improvements. municipal ownership of commodities, such as water works, electric light plants, etc, desired by many cannot be obtained because of this limited power conferred by the present laws and many of the lading municipal officials of North Alabama will go to Montgom- cry in the next few days. Decatur, Florence, Huntsville. Athens. Fort Payne, Gadsden. AttaIla and other cities and towns throughout North Alabama, as well as Birmingham, Bessemer, Ens- ley, Opelika, Anniston and others, are interested more or less in legislation that will be taken up at this term. Rep resentatives from the places named and from other points will flock to Mont- gomery.
 The county officials throughout the northern part of the State are inter ested, too. in matters that are said to be under consideration to be taken up at the le egislative session about to start. The proposition to change the fee sys- tenn to that of a salary system, though 1t does not begin until the terms of off, ficers now in office or will be at the time of the passage of the bill, is question that is far-reaching. In gef- ferson County the bill would play con- siderable havoc with political positions, as two or three now pay about half as much as the President of the United States receives.
 Other questions of importance are causing many to sit up and take notice and the indications are that the rail- roads between North Alabama nd Mont gomery will be well-taxed in handling the business With the anti-pass law in effect, too, the railroads will prob ably make more money on this traffic than ever before.

Negro Murderer Transferred From Col
 bert County Jail.
 Tuscumbia, Jan. 6.-(Special.) )-Hav- ing reason to apprehend that the friends of George Brown alias George Gillian. the negro murderer, confin ed in the Colbert county jail would sur reptitiously aid in his escape, Sheriff McCleskey secured an order from Pro- hate Judge Simpson yesterday evening and left with the prisoner for Morgan county where he will confine him for safe keeping.
 Brown is one of the four negroes who recently escaped from the jail of this county, but was recaptured sev- eral weeks later and returned to Col bert county.
 The jail building here is insecure and unsafe for prisoners and the grand juries for several terms have reported 1t so, and recommended that something be done in the way of permanent re- pairs or new structure built. It was for the reason that the building is un- safe that the sheriff received a com hitting order to another county for his prisoner. fearing that the negro's friends might aid him in again mak- ing his escape.
 The negro's case is now pending in the Supreme Court on an appeal from the Colbert county circuit court.

Is It Known.

There are probably parents who are not aware, that we carry . stock of boys fine shoes such as are acknowledged to be the finest in the land.
 In years gone by, we remens- Der how difficult 1t was to please the eye and yet have the neees- sary wear.
 A man would buy pair for his boy and look to the wearing qual. ities, but when some were shown to-a mother, while she was not un- mindful of the wear, more often than not, even if she bought them was not pleased with the bungle. someness of the shoe.
 4 That has been overcome by many manufacturers and today we can find boys and little gentle mems as the smaller sizes are call ed; which combine the wearing qualities, coupled with style.
 This is essentially so with the fine line we are trying to bring to the attention of interested ones.
 All of which is true to a certain extent with those we sell at pop ular prices,
 ' We have big stock of. boy s shoes at the present time, hund- reds of pairs in our basement wait ing to be transferred to the main stock.
