PRESIDENT sLEDD RESIGNS.
As Head Of State Unlversity-A. A
Murphree Succeeds Him.

Tallahassee, Fla, April 1O.-At a
joint meeting of the State Board Of
Control and the State Board of Educa-
ton held thisaf temOOn, the resignation
of President Andrew Sledd of the Uni
versity of Florida at Gainesville was
received and accepted and President A.
A. Murphree of the State College for
Women at Tallahassee, was elected to
fill the vacancy.
The resignation of DR.. Sledd Obviates
the difference that has existed between
the two boards for several months.
Resolutions were adopted at the meet
mgs, which made public the details of
the differences which have existed and
which, without question, were the d.
rect cause Of the resignation of DR..
Sledd. The question of the duties and
powers Of the respective boards regard
ing the election of heads of the state
Institutions caused the dispute which
led to the clash between the two boards.
A sensation was sprung at the meet
ing when Chairman N. P. Bryan, of the
board Of control, moved that State Su-
perintendent Holloway produce a copy
Of letter alleged to have been written
by himself and sent to certain citizens
at Gainesville, and intimating thatythe
Board of Commissioners of State Insti-
buttons, composed Of the Governor and
cabinet, could allow the expenditure of
no further funds from the apprOpria-
tons for new buildings at the universe
ty if Sledd was retained.
DR.. Sledd Is highly regarded by the
members of the board of control, and he
has done magnificent work in the devel-
Opment Of the university. The resOlu-
tons adopted pay tribute to his ability.
President Murphee accepted the
presidency of the State University to-
night. The State Board of Control
was waiting for his decision.

CROKER BOOSTS FLORIDA.
Even Italy Cannot Equal 1t for Charm
OfClimate.

A Washington dispatch of April 9Th
date to the New York World says:
Richard Croker, former chief Of Tam
many, arrived in Washington from the
south today, called on President Taft,
and told The World correspondent that
the United States is his home and that
he intends to spend large part Of
every year on this side of the water in
future.
''This always will be my home, " Mr..
Croker said. 81 shall keep my place
abroad, but l intend to spend much Of
my time in the United States in the fu-
ture. l fell in love with Florida, and
viii be there a part Of the time when |
am on this side.
Mr.. Croker would not say that he in
tends to build a winter home near Palm
Beach, but he insisted that that is the
place for him in the winter, and it is
likely that he will establish a home
there.
Michael T. Day, Mr.. Cookers init
mate friend said there was no politics
in Mr.. Cookers statement.
He is coming back here to spend his
winters, said Mr.. DAILY. He writes
that he has never had such a time as
he has been having In Florida, and he
viii be back here in the fall, after cleo
ton, to spend the winter in Florida.
Mr.. Croker has tried all the countries
where the winters are warm, Egypt,
Italy, ETC., but he says he is going to
tell everybody from now on not to go
to Europe if they are looking for warm
weather, but to come to the United
States and spend the time in Florida.
why, he says he is the blacklist
white man you ever saw-he has been
spending so much Of his time outdoors
fishing and bathing. He is in perfect
health, better than he's ever been.
He's just bubbEng over with enthusi-
asm about Florida, and he's going to
make a wonderful press agent for it. "

THE TARIFF AND COTTON.
Senator Fletcher Wants Florida Sta.
pie Protected.

The Boston Transcript of Friday thus
editOrially comments upon Florida's
new Uuited States senator's views:
'S,na or File h Of FLORIDA, tells
Washington correspondent that since
Re sun Of protection in its zenith else
where it ought not to set on US in the
south. From the poetic to the con-
crete Senator Fletcher deScendS when
he protests that the tariff is graveIy i'm
perfect is not affOrding any protection
to sea island cotton. 1t is extensively
grown in Florida, One-half the total out
put in the United States being credited
to that state. More would be cultiva-
ted by FlOridianS if it were not for the
competition Of the cheap labor of the
Nile: If there is crop in the United
States deserving protection, it is sea
island cotton, in Senator Fletcher Opin-
ion. Nor does he take kindly to reduc-
ton on lumber, which will hit Florida.
"Sueh sentiments from a democratic
senator teach US that the south is no
longer a great free trade section, but
one in which industrial development has
brought about demand for protection.
Southern cotton manufacturers do not
welcome unrestricted foreign competi-
ton in the products any more than their
northern brethren. Southern cotton
growers would Ike to head off importa-
tons Of the Egyptian staple, even if
the consumer had to pay a tax. Take
out politics and there is no broad, deep,
easily distinguishable tariff line Of de-
marcatiOn between the several sections
Of the United States. Each wants what
it raises or makes protected, and every
tariff is arranged by 'dickers' between
them"

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their UnceaSing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

- N---N AAN-rAN-Ata
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
Of impure matter daily, when IN
healthy some part of this impure mat
er is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms
pain in the back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, govt,
gravel disorders of the eyeSight and
hearing, dizziness, irregular heart,
debility, drOwsiness, dropsy, deposits
n the urine, etc. But if you keep
the filters right you will have no
rouble with your kidneys.
R. L. Westmoreland, Ohio Ave,
Live Oak, Fla, says: My wife was
N poor health for a long time. She
complained of pains in her back, was
very nervous and subject to head
aches. The least work caused her to
become all tired out. When l saw
OOanS Kidney Pills advertised,

gannee Drug Co., and she began US
ng them. A few doses made a great
Improvement in her condition, and
she continued their use, the pains
gradually disappeared. The con-

CHECKLISTS PLAIN WORDS.
In Answer to a Lady About Pardon
ing MurdererS.

Tallahassee, April I'm answer to
q powerful appeal written to him by an
estimable lady urging the communication
u a death sentence to a sentence Of i'm
prisOnment for life in the case of a
man recently convicted of murder,
Governor Gilchrist has written the fol-
lowing;
Il will state that after a grand jury
Of eighteen men had indicted man for
murder; after twelve men have unani-
mously, as a jury, decided him guilty,
and after the Judge and states attOr-
ney who tried the case and heard all the
evidence decide him to be guilty, it
would take very strong evidence to per
suade me to undo the action of the
court. If were to turn loose such
criminals on the state after the grand
jury, Judge, jury and states attorney
had declared them guilty, and if other
murders should be committed, | would
consider myself more or less RESPONSE
bic for the subsequent murders.
The governor is responsible to the
people for the good order of the state,
so far as he is concerned. The turning
loose of murderers, thereby encourage
ing other murders, | think, is wrong.
1t is not the governor who sentences
convicted criminalS-it is the law. If
you are opposed to capital punishment,
you could possibly get the members of
the legislature from your county to try
to change that law.
THE governor of the state takes an
oath to protect and defend the laws and
the constitution"
Majesty Oh the Law
In his campaign for Office Governor
Gilchrist repeatedly declared that if he
was elected to the Office of governor he
would see that the sentence of courts
be carried out, unless there were some
good reason for extending executive
clemency. The statement which he has
written out is fully in accord with the
promises and declarations that he made
at that tine.
Significant Of his ideas on thepardOn-
ING power was the table showing the
number Of convicted criminals who were
pardOned during the four years preced-
ne his administration, which he at
tached TO his message to the legislature.

DEsOTO COUNTY LYNCHING.
Negro Brute Strung Up for Criminal
Assault on Young Lady.

Arcadia, Fla, April 10. Screaming
with fear, and pleading for his life, a
negro. whose name is not yet known
here. was taken from Sheriff Freeman
a the outskirts of the city tonight and
carried about a mile where he was strung
up and his body riddIed with bullets.
The negro was positively identified as
The assailant Of Miss Mary S. Ewing.
News brought to the city this morn
lng that Miss Ewing, daughter Of a
prominent citizen of the county, living
about six miles in the country, had been
asssiled by negro. Details of the as
sault were meager, Miss Ewing being
pTOstrated by the severe nervous shock
which she underwent while battling
with the burly brute IN a deathike
struggle to save herself and her honor.
Fighting with every ounce Of energy in
her body Miss Ewing was finally able to
break away from the negro and run
screaming for help. Fortunately near
By were passers, who quickly responded
70 the cry for assistance. Before they
arrived, however, the negro had started
running and was soon out Of sight in
the wooded country. Miss Ewing
swooned as soon as help arrived. Her
clothing was badly torn, and she bore
several marks on her person, all teSti-
flying to the desperate struggle.
Posse in Pursuit.
Immediately upon receipt Of the news
here a posse was organized, and headed
by Sheriff Freeman, was soon in pur-
suit. Other searching parties were or
gained, but Sheriff Freeman was the
first to find the negro.
Sheriff Freeman was allowed to bring
the prisoner to the Jail here, where he
was locked up. Heavy guards were
thrown about the jail, and it was be-
heved everything was safe. During
the afternoon men gethered on the
street corners and cOnversed in earnest
tones. Late in the afternoon several
were seen with guns and rifles, and It
was decided by Sheriff Freeman to make
an effort to spirit his prisoner away
He succeeded in getting him out of the
jail and to the outskirts of the town be-
fore he was intercepted Here, at the
point of half hundred guns, he and his
deputies were forced to give up their
prisoner. The mob then proceeded to a
spot about a mile distant and the gro
an opportunity to make peace with God.
He begged for his life, but the mob was
determined, and he was soon strung UP
TO a tree.
