MANY GOING TO FLORIDA
MORE THAN 100 MEN ARE eoiNo
TO HILLlARD, FLORIDA,
THIS MONTH.
THE OFFER OF FREERoUND
TRIP MAKES GREAT HIT.
They Are Going to Buy Farms In
Cornwall Farm Land Co.'s Big New
Trucking Section 30 Miles
from Jacksonville.

Either the first touch of cold wealth
er or the remarkably attractive ofer
of round trip to Florida free has de-
cided large number of Ohio, Indiana,
Kentucky and Tennessee men to go
and make an investigation OF the
North Florida Fruit and Truck Farms
at Hilliard, Fla.
Already over 100 have sent to the
Cornwall Farm Land Co., S15 Great
Northern Bldg, Chicago, and arranged
for starting either on the 18th or 24th
of November, with the understanding
that the company will credit the
amount of the railroad fare to every
man that buys a D-acre farm at $21G
on the easy payment plan Of $40 a
month. The lands are the best In the
State of Florida for vegetable grow
Ing and are located on the Atlantic
Coast Line Railway within 40 min
utes' ride OF Jacksonville. The Illus
trated books published by the COM
pany show pictures of growing vege-
tables and the appearance of the un-
improved land, also views of the town

Florida is now the established and
recognized supply depot for all the

prices are paid. This new trucking
section has not yet taken on the fever
Of high land prices as have most OF
the older sections of Florida. We un-
derstand that the whole of this North
Florida Fruit and Truck Farm tract is
to be sold at one price-$21 an acre.
There are many places in Florida
where large holders of land are boom
Ing both towns and farm lands and the
prices are from 500 to $3.50 an acre
for unimproved land. The Cornwall
Farm Land Company's proposition
seems well worth investigating.

A BATTLE ON THE STREET
EX-SENATOR cARMAcK OF TEN.
NEssEE is MURDERED.
Political Feud eliminated In q
Tragedy-carmaok's Slayer was
Slightly Wounded.

Nashville, Tenn. - Ex-senator Ed
ward Carmack. editor OF the
Tennesseean, was shot and killed
Monday afternoon in Seventh avenue
by Robin Cooper, a son of Col. Duncan
G. Cooper. Mr.. Carmack was going
north on Seventh avenue and Col.
Cooper and his son were approaching
Seventh avenue on Union street. Soon
after they came in sight Of one an
other, the shooting began. Robin
Cooper, 1t is said, fired two shots and
Senator Carmack one. Col. Duncan B.
Cooper, it is said, drew pistol, but
did not fire.
Senator Carmack fell to the ground
with the trio of shots, dying instantly.
Robin Cooper was shot in the right
shoulder, but was not severely hurt.
1t is said that the trouble is one of
the results of the recent Democratic
gubernatorial primary, in which Car
mack was defeated. Carmack had,
since he became editor of the Ten
nesseean, been rather caustic in ad-
versely criticising what he called the
Democratic machine and had printed
several editorials about Col. Cooper.
Within the last few days it is said
Col. Cooper told Carmack that these
editorial criticisms must cease. Mon
day morning another editorial refer
ence to Col. Cooper appeared in the
Tenneseean and this is supposed to
have been the immediate cause of the
trouble.
Young Cooper was later carried to a
hospital and Col. Cooper is held at
police headquarters. Robin Cooper
is an attorney, 27 years old and un-
married.
Memphis, Nov. 10.-Ex- Senator Car
mack was born near Castillan Springs,
Tenn, November 5, 1858. He had an
academic education, studied law, prac-
ticed in Columbia, Tenn, and was a
member of the legislature of 1884. He
was delegate to the national Demo
cratic convention of 1896 and a mem
ber of congress, 1S97-1S91, from the
Tenth congressional district of Ten
nessee. He served with distinction in
the United States senate for six years,
being defeated for reelection in the
primary little over a year ago by ex-
Gov. Robert Taylor. Senator Carmack
then resumed the practice of law in
Memphis, which was then his home,
but within few months removed to
Nashville.
Last spring he opposed Gov. Patter-
son for the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination, championing the cause of
state wide prohibition. Carmack was
defeated. Shortly after his defeat, Mr..
Carmack accepted the editorship of
the Nashville Tennesseean, and for
the last two months has been at the
head of the Tennesseean.
Senator Carmack's newspaper career
began in 1886 as a member of the edi-
torial staff of the Nashville American.

ana Harbor milk dealers for some time
past have made strong complaints
against the theft of milk bottles from
homes of their customers. A clew was
obtained to the identity of the myster-
ious thief this morning. A pedestrian
on Grapevine avenue approaching his
home early today, saw foreigner in
the act of stealing the milk from the
door step.
Commanding the would-be thief to
stop, the angry householder commenced
pursuit Instead Of needing the com
mands, however. the thief kept the milk
bottle and disappeared into a house
near the Wabash tracks.
On reaching this house the pursuer
found it to be vacant and saw the thief
again disappearing behind a line of box
cars. According to the description fur
nished the police the thief is about 40
years old and about 5 feet inches in
height. He is dressed in overalls and
black satin shirt. A black SLOUGH
hat surmounts the disguise OF the "des-
perado."
Local milk dealers declare they will
keep a close watch for men of this
description and declare they will make
an example of any one found piifer-
ing their milk.
