BUILD THIS ROAD.

Probably the most important piece
Of public road work now being con
structed in Alachua county is that
known as the Gainesville and Mica
nopy road, via Rocky Point and waca-
hoota. When this road is completed II
win give a hard surface road from
Gainesville to Ocala via Evinston,
with the exception OF few miles from
Mcintosh to the latter place. which
sill soon be constructed by the Ma
rion county authorities. II win also
connect Gainesville with orlando via
Leesburg, eventually leading on to
Daytona Beach. We win also be con
nected with Crystal River by a
branch hard road from OcaIa.
The county commissioners should
see to II that work on the road to
Micanopy is pushed 10 completion at
the earliest date possible. The peo-
pie through whose property the road
passes will do their part, and its early
completion will stimulate the construc-
ton OF hard surface roads in other
sections.
BY all means continue the work on
the GainesvilIe-Micanopy road until
1t is completed.

A Cincinnati dispatch says Joseph
u. Lee, the colored Republican boss"
of Florida. was a problem for the To-
cal arrangements committee and the
notification committee incident to the
formal notification OF Taft. Lee was
a member OF the notification commit
tee, and when he presented himself
at the aristocratic Sinton Hotel, with
other members, all white. the manage.
ment OF the hotel made a determined
protest against receiving the Florida
Republican boss as a guest There
was much discussion between the local
and notification committeeman, and
the management Of the hotel finally
agreed to permit Lee to occupy a
room, although he Is the first negro
ever SO received at the Sinton. with
the understanding that It was TO be
done very quietly and that Lee should
not be served in the diningroom.
Lee was therefore escorted by back
entrance TO room and was told 70
make himself as inconspicuous as pos.
slble. While the other members Of
the committee enjoyed sumptuous
meal In the dinlng-room OF the hotel,
Lee took his meal In solitude and ST.
lence in his room. But the Florida
boss was there" at the Taft resi-.
dence and sat with the committee as
prominently and as unabashed as
any OF the members.

HOMICIDE IN CHARLOTTE.

Smouldering enmity, born Of family
disagreement of some three years
standing, according to the Charlotte
Observer of Thursday, burst in vivid
flames last night at o'clock, when
Charles B. Kimball of lower Steele
Creek, under the influence of liquor,
drew a revolver from his pocket in the
apartments of the Park Driving club
on East Trade street, and five times,
most probably mortally, wounded his
brother n-l law, young Charlie Thomas,
of the same section of the county, aged
about 90. The shots had hardly greet
ed the ears of those nearby before the
boys assassin had fled. He was cap
tured an hour later on the fair grounds.
The thing happened so quickly that
hardly any one saw its beginning, a
circumstance that makes 1t almost i'm
possible to give any detailed account
of the words or actions which led up
Immediately to the shooting. Bystand-
ers were so startled that no one at
tempted to stop Kimball as he fled pre-
cipitately, but a doctor was soon sum-
moned and was in attendance before
the affair reached the ears of the po-
lice on the street below. The physician
did what could be done on the spot and
the injured man, in a condition evil
IDENTIFY serious, was removed to the
Presbyterian hospital.
The Park Driving club is located at
No. 40 East Trade street, on the second
floor, being on the right-hand side Of
the corridor. Mr.. Walter Hoover, who
is also a brother-in-law Of the other
two men, had come in from the fair
grounds accompanied by the young
man Thomas. Unexpectedly he met
there Kimball, with whom he had not
been on speaking terms since a quar-
rel about the division Of a family es-
tate some few years ago. 1t is suppos-
ed that the quarrel was renewed. The
next thing the spectators knew Thom-
as was lying on the floor near the
southern wall of the room with three
bullet wounds in his back and shoul-
derS
Mr. HdlIleu MlSS ocliC
Thomas, sister Of the injured man.
He is about 38 years old and has a
wife and several children. He is origi-
nally from Fort Mill township, being
reared just over the South Carolina
line. He runs a store on the Yorkville
road about twelve miles from Char
lotte
Mr. Thomas is the son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. L. Thomas of lower Steele
Creek, and lives on the farm with his
parents. He is unmarried.
The sounds Of the pistol shots were
heard on the street and considerable
excitement was created. The air was
full of rumors, many Of which proved
untrue on investigation. One Of these
was to the effect that the man shot
was the one of similar surname invOlv-
ed in a killing several years ago. This
was entirely unfounded.
The police have in their possession
the pistol from which the shots were
fired. 1t is a five shooter. Four cham
bers are blank and one is entirely emp
ty The police have also a pair Of
knucks said to have been taken from
the pocket of Thomas. One bystander
states that Thomas had drunk two bot
ties of beer before the difficulty occur
