ALFRED G. VANDERBILT
reporter who had used her name in
connection with the affair and gave
him to understand that she was not
present, and did not expect ever to
set her foot on the farm again. She
wished the reporter to be careful in
using her name further in connection
with anything Alfred Vanderbilt held
there or any place else.
Other social matters in connection
with the farm and MIR. Vanderbilt
are being discussed in the clubs and
IN the cottage colony.
AS a result Of the recent fete at
the Vanderbilt farm for st. Mary's
Church something like $500 was
taken in admissions and sales, but
there is nearly $1,000 in expenses to
be met, which Mr. Vanderbilt may as
sumo the responsibility for, other
wise the net earning will be only
$500

THE CASE AGAINST THE COUNTY

AS is we'll known TO our readers
this city paved with vitriied brick
certain streets, and under the ordi-
nance property owners along each
side of said streets were to pay one
third and the city one-third of the
cost of the same.
Along said streets the county own
ed certain property, tO-wit: That on
which the court house stands. and re-
fused to pay its portion of the cost
of paving.
At a meeting of the city council
some weeks ago the city attorney. Mr..
Carlos L. Sistrunk, was instructed TO
bring suit against the county for its
proportionate cost of the paving along
its property.
In obedience to the instructions OF
the city council Mr.. Sistrunk prepared
the necessary papers. and the case
was argued before Judge Bullock all
day Monday and Tuesday forenoon,
the county being represented by It's at
tOrney, Mr.. William Hooker
The decision of Judge Bullock was
favorable to the contention OF the
city, Mr.. Sistrunk having prepared
his papers with exceeding care and
cleveness, and his arguments We're
very logical and apparently conclu-
sive.
We hope the matter will rest here.
and that the county commissioners.
being guided by the courts decision.
will act accordingly.

Mr.. McLIN AND THE FLORIDA
PRISON SYSTEM

We enjoyed a very pleasant visit
Friday afternoon from Mr.. B. E. Nc
Lin, secretary of agriculture, and who
is at the head of the prison system of
Florida He says that during the
eight years that he has been in Office
it has been his constant endeavor to
improve the prison system of this
state, and he cOngratulates himself
that his efforts have been largely sue
cessful. That those who are able TO
recall the condition of the prison
camps in vogue eight years ago, and
the condition OF them now can rea lily
see the difference. That now no stat-
prisoners are sAackled. That Re ut
most care is given to the sanitary
condition of the camps and to the food
given the prisoners. That the food is
wholesome and well cooked. The
prison camps are provided with bath
ing pools and the rruuilemeEts Corn
pei the 'essees % lruvide good aud
cleanly beds, etc, for the prIsOn"rs
and as soon as 4 priSOne; is sick mCii-
zeal attention m I5J - Immediately
provided, and if the illness is danger
Gus he must be sent 70 one of tn TWO
hospitals. That carte blanche invita-
tons are issued to anybody interested
in prison reforms to visit the Florida
prison camps at any and all times
and the refusal to admit them will be
instantly investigated by those in au-
thority.
Mr.. McLin also says that persons
living in the neighborhood of the
prison camps are earnestly requested
to report any harsh measures used by
those in charge CT the prisoners to
the authorities at Tallahassee, and
that whenever this is done the matter
is fully investigated, and the lessees
are held responsible therefor, and in
all cases are made to suffer the con-
sequences provided by ne law regu-
laJing the conduct Of the state prison
camps.
Mr.. McLn says there IS one thing
now in force that he has tried to have
changad at the meeting Of every Iegis-
iature, but has failed, ard that is
sending female prisoners indiscrimi-
ua,ely to the prison camps with the
male prisoners. That Florida is the
only state in the union where this is
done, and he hopes reform measures
along this line viii be adopted at the
next session Of the legislature.

THE COMMERCIAL BANKS GOOD
WORK

For some time past, indeed, ever
since their connection with the Com
mercial Bank, DR.. S. H. Bitch and
Dr.. J. c. BOozer, realizing that agri-
culture is the basis of a country's
wealth, have been active in stimulat-
ing interest in agriculture in this
county by displaying sample products
OF the farm at their bank, which have
created, and continue to create. con-
siderable interest.
These gentlemen exhibited a fine
specimen of lint cotton of a superior
long staple product, which led to sew
eral farmers obtaining the seed from
these enterprising bankers, and I'M
til the general depression of every
thing the planting of this staple bid
fair to be revived in this county.
DR.. Bitch and DR.. Boozer also pro-
cured a splendid article of seed corn,
and their exhibiting the same at their
bank led to its being planted in this
county, and the crop yield was most
abundant, and in all probability it
will revolutionize this industry among
our farmers.
And so on, from time to time, Doc
tors Bitch and Boozer have had on
exhibition at the Commercial Bank
various farm products.
week or two ago they had on dis
play a specimen coop of very fine
cnickens-Rhode Island Reds-raised
by Mr.. w. NJ. Shockley of Lowell,
which created much, attention.
Saturday they had on exhibition a
coop of very beautiful white Plymouth
Rocks, five months old, raised by Mr.
c. J. jewell, which caught the eye of
every passer-by. They also had a jar
of extra fine peanuts, grown by the
same gentleman, and a jar of very
fine pecans from a three year old tree
on the DR.. Fakes place, near town.
They also had a specimen exhibit of
very fine sweet potatoes, called the
Great Northern Prolific, grown by Mr..
jewell.
These progressive and enterprising
gentlemen have at various times ex-
hibited specimens of fine tobacco,
oats. grasses, and other things for the
purpose of stimulating the agricultu-
raj industry of our county.
Their efforts are bearing good fruit
and cannot be too highly commended.

THE sHoPLIFTER BOUND OVER

Mary Young, the colored shOplifter,
whom Mr.. NJ. NJ. Little, with Messrs.
Rheinauer & Co, so cleverly detected
in the prosecution of her trade, was
found to have goods enough to start
a ladies' ready-to-wear establishment.
After her arrest warrants were
sworn out to search her premises, and
ladies' skirts to the value of nearly
one hundred dollars were found, still
bearing the cost marks of the stores
whence they were cleverly lifted.
Six of the skirts, all elegant ones,
bore the trade mark of Capt. George
Nash, and the others showed that
they came from the store of Messrs.
Rheinauer & Co.
The woman was given a trial Tues
day before Judge Joseph H. Bell,
county judge, and in both cases she
was bound over in the sum of two
hundred dollars.
Being unable to procure bail Mary
now languishes in Jail, where she will
not need any fancy skirts or other
fashionable toggery.
