Wise SUGGESTION
Prompted by the ReelfOOt Lake
Incident.

Tampa Times:--Such incidents
as that which recently occurred at
Reelfoot Lake, Tennessee reveal
a tendency in the nature of the
American citizen which it might
be we'll for those people to heed
who are likely to provoke 1t.
Some people of wealth, who want
ed more, bought up The finest fish
ing and small game hunting
ground on the continent, made it
a source of income from people to
whom it had been free from the
earliest settlement of the region.
The particular question argued at
Walnut Log, when one mOn was
lynched and another escaped o
shower of bullets, the other night
was whether the common herd of
people shall submit to the segrega-
ton of such resources for sport
as have heretofore been free to
the public.
The sum of the single argument
at Walnut Log was rather adverse
to the proposition that the people
will submit, but the next collater-
al is whether the information
brought out by the state authori-
ties, aided by a ten thousand dol
lar reward, will not SWING he
pendulum back the other VIZ
The advocates of hunting and fish
ing about Reelfoot Lake were too
violent in their argument, went
too far, and their cause will suffer.
The game and fish of the coun-
try are going into the hands of the
rich, being listed as property of
the money that buys their haunts,
and in half o century things will
be like they are in Europe--the
fowls of the air, the animals of the
land and the fish of the waters will
be private property. Such little
incidents as that near Reelfoot
will only hasten the final outcome.
Let us. therefore, brethren, take
this sort of thing easy as we can,
because violence hasteneth its own
downfall. Let US get together
and buy a million acres of pine
lands for o common game and fish
preserve, open to every citizen OF
Florida forever, let US forbid
Governor Broward from selling
another acre of the state lands,
but keep it for holiday and pic
mic ground, that our descendants
may not forget how quail and
squirrel look, smell and taste.

THE BATTLEsHIP FLORIDA.
Further Comment on Manning Her.
A Christsner Suggested.

Pensacola News:--THE PUNTA
GoRDA HERALD does not agree
with the jacksonville Times. Union
that there are not enough men in
Florida TO man the new battleship
to be named in honor of this state,
but suggests that in case there
are not enough men we might
throw in a few Of the brave
women of the state. And this
reminds us that speculation will
soon be rife as to who is going to
break the product of the grape
over the bow of this proud mon
arch of the waves. Inasmuch rs
the battIesbip was named ''Flor-
ida" in appreciation of the work
of the late William James Bryan
and so designated by the president
of the United States as a fitting
tribute to the memory of the man,
we think Governor Gilchrist, when
the time comes, could not perform
o more pleasant duty or graceful
act than to name one of the sisters
of the late senator to christen the
battleship.

Brooksville Argus: - Politics
and sweet potatoes can be cult
waited at the same time, but not
with equal success. When more
time and labor are spent on poll
tics and less on potatoes, the
farmer may ride on the band wag-
on with the driver, but his pota-
toes will be small and few in a
row. When more time is spent
on sweet potatoes and less on poll
tics, he may just hear the train go
round the curve, but his pockets
will jingle, his pigs will be fat and
his family famous for their com
Portable and neat appearance. Ii
he equally divides his time and
labor between politics and sweet
potatoes, his politics will be poor
and his potatoes sorry.

NEGRO SHOT AT AcLINE.
Drinking whiskey Causes TurpentlnN
Hand 30 Make Trouble.

Isaac Israel, a Negro employee
on the turpentine farm of Putnam
and Frazier, at Alligator creek,
was shot last Saturday at about
7 p. m. by John Lancaster, who
looks after the livery stable Of
Jim Gof Of this city. st
The Negro had come to town and
hired horse and buggy for the
afternoon, with the evident intgn-
fion of celebrating to the full
extent, for he got drunk and drove
recklcssly all about town greatly
annoying, but successfully elud-
ing, both the marshal and the
special police. A vain effort was
made by Mr.. Goff to get the horse
and buggy from the Negro, who,
when special policeman Williams
was about to catch him, left the
city and drove to the creek.
Mr. Goff sent John Lancaster
and Frank Rice to get the horse
and buggy, but upon being in
formed that Israel was armed,
John took along a pistol. People
whom they met along the road
told them that the horse was being
driven to death, but when they
overlook the Negro at Acline, he
had secretcd the turnout away and
would not let them have 1t. He is
said to have sworn at them and
told them that they had no bust
ness coming out there and that
they might not get back TO town.
The boys say that he grasped
the wheel Of their buggy and tried
to throw them out and that while
trying to reason things with him
be kept up his cursing and when
it occurred to him that they would
shoot him, he let go the wheel and
remarked that he could shoot too.
According to Johns statement,
Israel ran his hand in bis bosom as
though to draw a weapon and tina {
he, John, fred to protect himself.
The shot took effect in the Ne
gro's right breast and as he turn
ed and ran, John and Frank drove
away rapidly, and before they had
gone thirty yards five shots were
fired at them, but all went wild.
A crowd Of Negroes having as
sembled to watch the fracas, Meth
er Of the boys know whether
Israel or some other Negro shot at
them.
DR.. Mcqueen went out and
dressed the wound and at last re-
ports, the Negro was getting along
all right. Mr.. Frazier took
charge Of the horse and buggy
which caused the trouble, and tel
ephoned Mr.. Golf that he would
look after it until he could bring
it in. John Lancaster who feels
that he acted in self-defense was
arrested and placed under bond to
await developments.
Previous TO this Isaac Israel had
been regarded as a quiet, molten
sive darkey, and this is only an-|
