A Case in Point.

The necessity for a well defined en-
ployers liability bill received a new
emphasis at Pensacola a day or two
ago. A man was at work for the rail-
road company under a car. Other en-
ployes showed other cars down on the
one on which he was at work and
cruelty crushed him to death. The
law ought to place the liability in
such shape that his widow and chill
dren may -ecover compensation

Judge Laney's Policy.
Now IS the time when candidates
for public Offices grow like much
rooms in August. The latest one on
the political horizon is Hon. Chas. H
Laney, of Pensacola, who announces
himself as candidate for congress to
succeed w. B. Lamar.
Well, Mr.. Laney is a straight talker
that don't put his light under the
busnel basket. He says that he will
distribute as much flower seed as Mr.
Anybody, and he promises to let the
railroads take care of themselves, as
well as other big corporations. Yes
sir, the big corporations will take
good care of themselves, without
doubt. They have been doing so for
the last so years, and have got to
where they take care of the supply
and demand for all the necessities OF
life, so that the poor man can not
take care of himself simply because
there is nothing left after the corpora
ton interests have gobb1ed up what
we have got to live of as well as all
the money to buy with.
Then Mr.. Laney bIames President
Roosevelt for knocking over the f.
nancial institutions and SO trying to
prop them up with government assist
ance." Now that shows a great deal
of ignorance bv this worthy Mr.. Ia.
ney. because Mr.. Roosevelt didn't

Skeleton With shackies On Ankles.

Capt. R. G. Ross, of Jacksonville. is
furnishing the shell from Slows Island
in Sisters Creek, near that city, for
road building in Duval county. Some
OF his workmen the other day found
a human skeleton buried some depth
IN the shell, the skeleton having iron
shackles on the ankles. The skeleton
was well preserved, and is believed to
have been buried several hundred
years. Capt. Cook, who lives on the
island, believes the skeleton is that
of an old buc-aneer PROBABLY cap
tured by the Indians, and buried with
the shackles the buccaneer intended
for others, since the Indians had no
knowledge OF the manufacture of iron.
The discovery Of the skeleton in
shackles leads to the belief that bur
led treasure is also in the near future.
and Capt. Ross and his workmen are
in hopes that it will be uneartbed.-
