Italian Farmers for Florida.

A press dispatch from Paris conveys
the informs ton that a colony Of five
thousand surviving victims Of the earth
quake in Calabria and Sicily may be
settled on that tract of land in Manatee
county known as Myakka. The owner
Of this land is Duke PompeO Litta of
LOmbardy, who proposes to donate it
for this purpose, in order that a new
MeSsina may rise in a land where earth
| quakeS are unknown, if the consent Of
the Italian and American governments
can be obtained. Five thousand would
be notable addition to the population
Of Manatee county, and is about s per
cent Of what the total population of
Florida was in 1895. In fact it is sew
eral hundred more than the whole coun-
ty Of Manatee contained IN 1900. These
Italians VIII be given farms. The Ital-
ian is naturally farmer. The expe-
rience with them in New England,
where many Italians own farms, is that
in intensive farming they cannot be
beat, They are thrifty, frugal, light
hearted, progressive and make good
neighbOrs. A community in which
many Italian cOntadini, or farmers, are
settled soon becomes prosperous, is is
said, but they are gregariOus and pre-
fer to live in colonies with others from
the same Italian prOvince.-ShOrt Talks

DisPOsing Of Cooper.

As was predicted, BrOward left the
fate Of Cooper to his successor. It is
announced that the State Pardon Board
will take up the case January % for
final decision. There is little likelihood
that the death sentence viii be per-
mltted to stand. 1t has been stand
ing for SIX years and the whole State
has grown weary Of the case and the
repeated pOstpOnements Of the execu-
ton Of the judgment of the law. The
Board will, in all probability, commute
the sentence to life Imprisonment. The
Tribune has all along eontended that
Cooper merited hanging and it is still
Of that opinion. After so long a pc
rod, however, the example to be set
by the punishment Of Cooper has lost
its effect and, now that be has been
permitted to avoid the doom Of the as
sassin for so many years, there is but
little interest in the disposition Of the
case and there viii be but brief COM
ment from press or public, whatever
final disposition is made. Tampa Trib-

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL FOR
 GIRLS DOING FINE WORK
By HERvEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, November 13.-(Special. )- In the midst of the great amendment fight that IS now tearing its way into the vitals of the civil and business life of the peo- pie comes a happy note in the statement of Col s. w. John, member of the board of trustees of the Girls Industrial school. that the school has 421 girls, with ac- commodations for only 425, and Is doing real and lasting work for a class of stu dents who have no other way of getting an education or receiving instruction such as will fit them for the active and useful walks of life.
 There is now plenty of money for the work in hand so far as expenses go, ings. New class rooms are needed, with laboratory. workshops. greenhouses and gymnasium. Practical things are taught and the demand for practical equipment Is growing and must be met The girls take physical culture and need room for general gymnasium work. A dairy is de- sired for the milk and to teach by ex- ample the art of dairying and care of milk and butter. Colonel John sees great many things that ought to be done, but feels grateful that so much has been secured and so much good work is being done. He Is convinced now that the school has hold upon the people that will give it all it needs in the future.

ay HERvEY w. LAIRD.

Moptgomery. November 13.-(Special)- Everything tends to the belief that the xota in the amendment election on No vember 2s will be light. It is even thought that the estimate of John H. Bankhead, United States senator, of 5000 is too high and that not more than 5000 to 10000 will be able to cast legal ballots. Both sides are watching the poll list closely and 1t Is reasonable to presume that not many illegal tickets will be put in without challenge. The amendment headouarters in Montgomery has young Iawver hired to do nothing but check over the poll lists to find every man who has not paid every year of his poll tax since 1900.
 Some time ago Judge John Purifoy an examiner of public accounts, after thorough investigation of the voting men of a certain county, gave it as his opin- ion that the time would come when. as A result of the poll tax law, ma jority of the citizens of the state might find a cloud on their title to franchise. If is an astonishing fact, he pointed out sAben that many men have not paid for
 very year of the poll tax time, and inc records show In a number of cases that voters have been voting when one, +uo and maybe more years are left out of their poll tax payments These are tbe men who have paid for last year. and the year before and the year before that. maybe, but here and there a year is not filled in. The law is very plain that they cannot legally vote.
