Twas in the merry spring.
They eulogize October,
And trill of autumn days,
The forest clothed in rudy gold,
The soft and dreamy haze.
But all the time they're singing
With very heart and soul,
They wonder wEere they'll get the price

STREET CARS CLASH yII.D RIrMOR TE A CHILD WAS
 KILLED. Effort Made To Discover Identity of FeIOns Who Placed Dynamite on Tracks-UniOn Issues
 CircuIer.
CHILD WAS

Two collisions between cars of the Montgomery Traction Company at Mil dred Street and Cleveland Avenue and the injury of a child gave rise to false rumors that a child had been killed yesterday. It was stated by the officials of the company that the child had been but slightly cut on the lip. and that nei- ther collision had result in serious damage to the rolling stock of the com pany. The child's name could not be learned.
 Both the accidents occurred at the corner of Mildred Street and Cleveland Avenue. In the first ';olllsIon the step Of one of the ears was almost torn away. and in the second the damage was not so considerable. It was in the frst ac- rident that the child was slightly in- jured. It Is said that It's lip was cut | when struck against seat in the car The cars in collision were Belt Line | and Washington Park cars.
 The Montgomery Traction Company | operated all It's cars yesterday and its | oficials last night expressed the belief | that there would be no more trouble. There was no new information derived about the use of dynamite on the Wash | ington rark line. No person has been arrested and both the Police Depart, rrent and tho Traction ompany said that they had no information about the l Identity of tho nersons who had been | gult-, of the felony.
 A circular signed ny the Union | street Ra1lroad ElploEes hIch io' been distributed reads as follows: on view of the misleading state ments published by The Advertiser we l feel 1t out duty to our friends and our selves to notify them that the strike Is not off and will not be until such time as this Association so announces In ont- cially.
 "rhe Association believes that the cause of the strikers will be helped ra- thar than injured by the desertion of I.+hoea whom we have reSa 'ded as tools of the company for some time. and who have been traitors to the cause of un' | lonism.
 eve earnestI-- solicit your continued support ir our struggle for right and Justice. We feel that we could not re- turn to work for the Traction Com narv under tho circumstances and maintain our self respect or that of our | friends. and arN detern'ired to continue the struggle until satisfactorily settled

The radical change in the all round work of the local team during the games last week is decidedly encour- aging. and as long as they play the snappy. gingery game that they have been doing they will have the solid support of all the fans. Malarky is using more intelligence in the handling ger that ever wore a Montgomery uni form and the men under him seem to have become imbued with his enthu- siastic spirit and are working together conscientiously and faithfully for the good of the team as whole: Just as long as this Is done they will win far more games than they will lose, sna they pnl,e piayed ' iast k week they will have lie even when they lose.

In Mr.. and Mrs. E. J. Hearst, Flor
ida has two staunch friends who new
er lose an opportunity 10 say a good
word for the State. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hearst, who make their home in

here, have been in New York State
on their annual visit for the past
few weeks. and in The Coxsackie
Union of November l the following
appears:
Mr.. and Mrs. E. J. Hearst are
guests of Editor and Mrs. Franklin
at Hillside Cottage this week. Their
short sojourn al Bloomingdale has
more than ever convinced them that
Florida is about the best place on
earth 70 get 10 when Old Boreas be-
gins 10 whistle his tune of frost and

lightful State. which. in few months
experience. they have learned to both
appreciate and love. Mr.. Hearst is

GAINING IN ILLINOIS.

Chicago, Nov. 5.-At the first test
OF the new local option law made in
Illinois counties not under township
organizations, sixteen counties voted
for prohibition in various forms and
degrees. The claim was made at
midnight at the headquarters of the
anti-saloOn league at Springfield that
in the sixteen counties voting today
$50 saloons had been forced out Of
business and that 90 per cent of the
territory affected had been dry"
AT Jacksonville So saloons were
voted out and at Duquoin the tenn
perance forces won by % votes. IN
southern Illinois counties the mining
towns without exception went dry -
The Pensacola News thinks that
Editor Storrs, suggested by its neigh
Dor. the Journal. as a candidate for
Governor. is a fine man. but is cool
on his proposed candidacy. The
News says:
The Journal says that Storrs can
be elected That's another question
the correctness of which We shall not
further dispute until We hear from
the DeFuniak editor. but in the mean
time we are going 70 make another
guess Editor Storrs viii not
only refuse TO enter the race. but that
he will nominate for this responsible
position the editor of Pensacola :
bright and interesting morning paper
Clever, Energetic. and Enterpris-
ing Frank Mayes.'
We very seriously suspect that the
News is right We don't believe that
Storrs will consent 10 be candidate.
but after what the Journal and the
Democrat have said about him. he
may well think that the mention OF
his name for the place has not been
without its benefits. Even modest
man like the DeFuniak editor likes
