School Days"

Mrs. Winston S. Branning enter
tanned the Progressive Culture club
Tuesday afternoon, at her home on
Palm street, with an old fashioned
spelling bee" in honor of her guest,
Mrs. A. d. Penney, of Fort Pierce.
formerly a member of the club.
The captains were appointed by
our president, Mrs. Adhemar Brady,
who acted as school marin" for this
occasion. For a time things went
lively and the prize was awarded to
Mrs. B. r. Wilson, consisting of
copy of Rose O. The River by Kate
Douglas Virgins and the consolation
was carried off by Mrs. Trez Wilson,
a handsomely painted picture book.
A beautiful hand painted picture of
a bunch of red roses was presented
to the hOnOred guest. After recita-
tons, consisting of Mary's little
lamb, Orphan Annie and many others,
recess was given and each pupil was
presented with a well filled dinner
pail TO which all gave justice, cOnsid-
ering the strenuous work passed
through, and fruit punch quenched
the thirst Of the attentive and we'll
behaved school girls. The little
Misses COrinne Walton and Lucille
Brady helped the older girls with
songs and recitations from the kinder
garten. A most pleasant afternoon
was spent and after wishing the host
esS good bye all trudged off with
their empty dinner pals to the tune

M'FADDEN CONVICTED
The Justification Of the Law Fulfilled
for the NOSt HGinouS Crime

The McFadden case was taken up
in circuit court the first of this week
and occupied the entire week up to
last night when the jury returned a
verdict of guilty as charged in the
indictment.
The case is docketed as the State
vs. Jim Robinson, alias McFadden,
alias George Anderson, alias Dan
Anderson, alias Buck Anderson, alias
Bill Anderson, alias Buck Hudson.
The following true and tried citi-
zens of Brevard qualified and served
as jurors on this case: ]. r. Carter,
j. R. Ragan, ]. A. Taylor, S. E. Bail
ey, John Herring, IL. w. Doolittle,
A. N. Nolle, N. E. Kinniard, C. E.
Simmons, A. o. Lapham, F. r. Nau-
man, T. S. Sanders.
Thus the justification of the law
has been fulfilled even though it fol-
lows little short of two years after
the crime was committed, which was
on the 18th day of August, 1907, at
Pineda, in this county, the details of
which are still fresh in the minds of
our people.
The case was one of the strongest
for the state ever brought before a
court for rape. The defense rested
solely upon trying to prove an abb,
but this testimony was not positive
and was considered as nothing against
the statements of Mrs. Walters and
the chain of circumstancial evidence
connected herewith.
McFadden will probably be SEN
fenced this Friday morning and an
early date for the execution is ex-
pected as the negro had a fair and
impartial trial and there are no
grounds for an appeal or new trial.
Court will probably be adjourned
today for the term in which the case
of j. H. Reddick, charged with the
killing of Ed Kingston, will be con-
tinued until the fall term.

CAREER or HOWELL TITUS
California Court Orders Him Examined
as to His Sanity

The Chattanooga Times of Satur-
day contained the following about a
young man formerly of Jacksonville,
and a native of Titusville, Fla.
"Insanity-stark madness is the
climax of the phenomenal career of
Howell Titus, who found refuge in
the west after having made an un-
enviable record in this city, ending
with his disbarment by the supreme
court from practice of law in the
courts of Tennessee.
Titus is at San Diego, Cal. He
has been in Jail for ten days on a
charge Of passing worthless checks,
being unable to give a bond of So, 900
fixed by a magistrate when he was
arrested. Telegraphic advice last
night conveyed the details of this
mans present predicament, which
will excite pity in the minds of peo-
pie here, regardless of the unfavor-
able opinion entertained.
'.'The special to the Times, which
briefly tells the details of Titus pres
ent troubles, was as follows:
"San Diego, Cal, April Com
tinual worry over the predicament in
which he now finds himself, because
of having passed two worthless
checks, is believed to have unbal-
anced the mind of Howell Titus, FORM
erly prosecuting attorney at Chatta-
nooga, Tenn. Titus was arrested ten
days ago and since that time has been
confined in the county Jail because of
inability to furnish bail in the sum of
$1,000.
Although believed to be promi-
nently connected in Jacksonville and
Chattanooga, no word has been re-
ceived from relatives or friends in
that city.
Physicians who have examined
Titus state that his nervous system
appears to be wrecked and it will
probably be necessary to send him to
an insane asylum.
when brought into court today
for preliminary examination Titus
appeared to have no realization of
the situation. He paid no attention
to the proceedings. The court will
name physicians to examine him as
to his sanity"

FLORIDA SURVEY Big TASK
Over Inside Route From Beaufort to
Key West q Biz Problem

That they have had two decidedly
big jobs on their hands in surveying
the inside route from Beaufort, N. c.,
to Key West, and the ship canal route
across Florida, was the belief of the
members of the special board of en-
gineers in charge in Savannah Satur-
day, when they adjourned. After a
two days session in Col. Dan C..
Kingman'S Office the meeting was
adjourned for six weeks.
Florida was found to offer the
greatest problem. In the inside
route there is comparatively little
work to be done before taking the
survey of the route from Beaufort to
Fernandina. In the Savannah dis
trict Colonel Kingman took a survey
under the 1907 rivers and harbors
appropriation bill that will practical
ly answer the purpose for this section
of the route.
In both the Wilmington and Char
lesion districts it wasn't very hard to
decide upon preliminarieS for the
surveys. In some places it may be
deemed advisable to shift the route
somewhat before recommending a
permanent channel, but it waSn't
hard for the board to get together on
these matters. AllOtments will be
asked for the surveys in these two
districts.
Down the Florida east coast it is a
different proposition, however. Sur
veyS of this 500-mile stretch are rel
atively few and an immense amount
of preliminary work must be done
before any definite route for a survey
can be determined upon.
The survey across the state for a
ship canal is as big or bigger job than
the survey across the isthmus of Pan
anna for the Panama canal was, in
the estimation of Colonel Kingman,
the chairman of the board. 1t is
three or four times as wide as the
iSthmus and the summit level is not
so much different in height.
Captain Spalding, the engineering
officer at Jacksonville, was asked by
the board to collect information both
of the coast survey and for this one.
He was asked to secure all grade
maps of the railroad systems crossing
the state that he could, and also to
send a few men out to investigate
the lakes and water supply on the
summit levels. The board will
meet again in six weeks and this in
formation will then probably be in
hand. The board will then go more
deeply into the two problems.
