calls a spade a spade-and started to dam
up the sewer in a way that Brown de-
clared would cause the water to back up
on his property. Brown told him if he
damned another bit he would take a
crack at him with his rife. Stafford. OF
course, didn't believe this. because Brown
was such quiet sort OF fellow and didn't
look like a man with any form of homi-
cidal mania. And so Stafford went right
ahead with his dam work-he was build

Whereupon John Browns brother pulled
the trigger. and a rifle bullet tore right
through Neighbor Stafford's hat though
leaving his head untouched Which was
just what Brown intended to do. He was
just that good a shot. And the work OF
diverting the sewer stopped right there.

right over yonder in it's natural course.
The argument waxed hot and the two
reached the high pitch of animosity that

WILL RESENT THE ATTACK

Governor Broward certainly shows
very little appreciation of the servic-
es. rendered him in the past by Hon.
d. U. Fletcher.
AS long as Fletcher never sought
office for himself and supported the
governor for everything he wanted, he
was one of the greatest and best men
living.
But as soon as Fletcher gets in the
governors way, he is, in the latter's
estimation, a corporation tool and
hireling whom the people cannot af-
ford to trust.
Colonel Fletcher has heretofore
been loyal and valuable supporter of
BrOward in all his political aspira-
tons, and it is base ingratitude for
the latter to attack him as he has in
his campaign document.
Col. Fletcher is a better and ADLER
man than Broward, and his friends all
over the state will resent this uncalled
for attack.-Gainesville Sun.

and it is believed to be the work of
strike sympathizers.
Several stringers and a number OF
crOsstes were burned out, and cars
were thus prevented from running Oh
the bay shore lines. Work of repair
ing the damage was begun at once
and was completed Monday.
The stOning of cars of the Electric
Company was resumed Monday by
strike sympathizers, and resulted in
he arrest of John Benson. A ca,

front of which Benson was standing,
and it is alleged that he hurled q

Burke Cochran said a really good
thing in the house in Washington the
other day in one of the sOnorous
speeches in which he delights. Charg-
ed with inconsistency in his political
views, he said that if he had to choose
between consistency and his duty he
would not hesitate to be right even if
inconsistent. No public man or pri-
vate citizen can be consistent all his
life II he has any real brains in his
head and real courage in his heart
the viewpoint is necessarily chang
ing for all of us who are not CLANS and
oysters, and the logic of events is con-
stantly disprOving our wisest conclus-
ions. Carlisle was right when he said
that consistency was the bugbear of
small minds, and old Alex Terrill, Of
Texas, was even nearer right when he
said it was the philosophy of fools.
The man who never changes his mind
ought to be put in a glass cage and
