CIRCUIT COURT
IS ADJOURNED
Special and Regular Terms Oc-
Cupy Nearly a Month of Time
LITTLE ACCOMPLISHED
Jury Awards {. o. lassitter $7,458 DAM
ages Against Florida Fast Coast Rail.
ROad-Bank Cases are Continued

After nearly month in continuous
session in special and regular terms,
the circuit court of the seventh iudic-
ial circuit in and for st. Lucie county
adjourned yesterday to meet in regular
session on the third Tuesday in Feb
ruary, 1910.
The greater part of the regular term
has been consumed in the rehearing of
the case of c. O. Lassitter vs.. the
Florida East Coast Railroad Company,
damages $1,000, which was sent back
by the Supreme Court for new trial
This suit is for the loss of foot while
Mr.. Lassitter was in the employ of the
railroad, the accident happening in the
Fort Pierce yards two years ago.
A speciale venir of fifty jurymen ap-
peared at the opening of court last Fri
day morning, and a jury was secured
composed of B. F. Hardesty, foreman,
K. E. Fairbanks, W. H. Robinson, |.
E. Whitney, S. F. Webb, and c. B.
Chase. A verdict was returned Tues
day morning as follows: "We, the
jury in the cause of C. o. Lassitter VS..
the Florida East Coast railway, find
for the plaintiff in the sum of 81, 458."
The defendants attorney, Geo. M.
Robbins, made motion for new trial,
which was denied by the court, where
upon a motion for stay of execution
and arrest of judgment for sixty days
to make up and present bill of excep-
tons in appeal to Supreme Court for
new trial prevailed.
While this step has been taken, it is
highly possible that no appeal will be
taken, for the utmost justice of the
verdict is manifest to any reasonable
man. Another argument against the
probable appeal is CLEANED from the
fact that the present verdict is nearly
$500 in excess of the former verdict,
and should a new trial be asked for and
granted, third verdict might come
nearer the 500, 900, the amount sued for
by Mr.. Las sitter.
The case State of Florida VS.. Daniel
Baker, charged with murder was called.
This case was brought from Jensen,
the crime being committed several
months ago. All parties were colOred.

SUMNER IN FLORIDA
COOLER THAN NORTH

In commenting upon the visit of Frank
Z. Rankin, of GlenfOrd, O., to Florida
during the early part of August, and
as the winter, the Florida Fruit and
Truck Grower has the following to say;
Mr.. Rankin did just what we wish
every other prospective settler would
do-investigate for himself, coming
down unannounced, and not only that,
but at time when the uniformed North
ern or Western man believes we are
sweltering under tOrrid sun, and that
the inhabitants are all i'm the shade
fighting insects and praying for winter.
The truth of the business really is
that our summers, though long, are
pleasant, the range of temperature be-
ing lower than in most of the other
states, and that such thing as heat
prOstratiOn or sunstroke is unknown on
the Florida peninsula.
Then again, our farmers are by no
means idle, for every month in the year
is a harvest month, if we want it to be.
Then our lumber, turpentine, stock,
phosphate, lime, and varied manufacture
ing interests keep our people busy.
Life in Florida is not all one sweet
song by any means, nor do gold dollars
grow on trees. But in no section OF
all this great country of ours will the
soil more quickly or surely respond to
the hand of labor, or success crown the
efforts of the man who works with his
hand and brain. No state offers greater
opportunities, we firmly believe Florida
is on the eve of the greatest prosperity
and development in her history.
We want more people to join US to
assist in bringing to pass the bright
promises of the future and to share our
prosperity. The man who comes to q
Florida today will make no mistake II
he will exercise common sense, make
his own investigation, and not be LED
into ''get rich quick" schemes, or be
led astray by glttering misinformatlon
and promise of something for nothing.

A WESTERN VISITOR

/ began my impressions of the
West" in far away Seattle, the busy
city of elevations, in sight of the Olym-
pic mountains and snow clad Rainer,

tinuation in the gate city of the south,

penned "Way down upon the Swanee

No praise of its beauties could be
too extravagant. Beautiful broad
streets. emerald velvet lawns, graceful
shade trees. comfortable and commO-
dious. well-kept homes--and the flowers
the wonderful flowers, wish could
find words to express their luxurious
beauty and rare perfection. You will
find It hard to believe that there are
great hedges of geraniums and fuch-
sias and Gala lilies and roses every
where. Among the trees, the pepper
tree is one of the prettiest. airy, and
graceful. and the contrast of red ber-
ries hanging thickly In long clusters
with the green foliage, is picture to
Pasadena, the home of more million
aires than any other place of its size, is
connected by trolley with Los Angeles.
The homes here are beautiful in archi-
lecture, and the surrounding grounds
are all that a generous nature aided by
wealth and skill can make them.

and on Sunday we visited Venice.
There were thousands of pleasure seek
ers to be seen, fishing, bathing, bowling,
playing billiards and engaging in every
imaginable game of chance imported
from China and Japan, and dancing-a
great many seeming greatly to enjoy
that exercise, mostly young people. |
must confess it looked very strange to
a sOuthern-bred person to see dancing
on Sunday. There were tea gardens,
cafes, restaurants, oriental bazaars and
shops galore, all catering for patronage.
Temptations on every hand to spend
money. Really when one goes west he
should have either a lot of money or
none. Then he knows where "he's at"
financially. We stopped at a lovely
hotel, The Lankershim, had private
bath, telephone, writing desk, hand
some furnishings with quite reasonable
rates.
The shops in the city also offer many
tempting bargains for purchase. |
wanted barrel of money to spend in
every city visited. A very pleasant
feature of our stay there was being en-
tertained at dinner by former acquaint-
ances, the only ones we had seen for
several though many pleasant
new acquaintance were formed. The
badges explaining the secret orders to
which we belonged were in themselves
sufficient introduction to all fellow
members of such orders.
We left Los Angeles on Monday even
ing and travelled two nights and one
day, much of that distance being across
the great basin," desert region,

next.
Much magnificent and imposing
scenery was enjoyed on this

STUART MET WATERLOO
AT HANDS OF JENSEN

Jensen was the scene of an unusually
interesting game of baseball last Sat-
urday afternoon. Sept. 25th, when the
Stuart boys met their waterloo for the
second time within the last three weeks
in a score of 5 to 3 in favor of Jensen.
First game, IL to Z in favor of Jensen;
second game, 3 to in favor of Stuart;
third game, 5 to 3 in favor of Jensen;
making the best two out of three games.
Both teams played remarkably good
ball and there were very few errors.
The Stuart team was greatly strength
ened by having Mr.. Raney as catcher.
He is one of the best ball players that
has ever come to this neighborhood,
and for several years he played ball on
the team of the University of North
Carolina.
The Jensen team has been very for
tunate in securing j. Emmett Seery, an
ex-national Lacquer, as coach and after
some practice, hope to do as well as
the old Acme team of Jensen did a few
years ago when they about cleaned up
everything from Titusville to Miami.
