Pickett Negroes Get New Trial.

The Supreme Court rendered several important decisions last Monday. one of which was the Pickett brothers case, which was reversed and remanded.
 The Pieketts, two negroes. were convicted of the killing of Charley Abbott in Calhoun county, the trouble growing out of a settlement for land rent between Abbott ane the negroes. The Supreme Couri remanded the case account of the conflicting nature of the testimony and the failure of the lower court to give instructions on manslaught- CT in addition to the other instruc- tions. which resulted in the con- viction of the two negroes for murder in the second degree and their sentence to 2l years in the penitentiary.

Ben Green Must Serve One Year.

The Supreme Court rendered the following decision Monday in the case of Ben Green vs. State of Arkansas. in which Green appealed from sentence of one year re- ceived in the Union Circuit court.
 Appellant was indicted for mur- der and convicted of involuntary manslaughter. The evidence shows that appellant caught de ceased. Killgore. in the act of com hitting an outrage upon appellant s neice. a little girl about 12 years of age: and that as deceased sprang up and ran away, he, ap- pellant, fired the shot, at distance of about 40 yards, with a 32 cali bre pistol. which killed him.
 It is contended that the evil dence was not sufficient to sustain the verdict, for the reason that the undisputed evidence shows that Klllgore had committed a felony and was endeavoring to make his escape. The court concludes, however, that the evidence was sufficient to justify the court in finding that the killing was un- necessary. and the escape of the felon might have been prevented without shooting him.
 One of the instructions given by the court is complained of as being erroneous, but this court is of the opinion that the case was properly sent to the jury and that the evi- dence warrants the verdict, so the judgment is affirmed.

OUR GROWERS
COMBINE
The Pineapple Question Discuss
ed in an Interesting Article
EAST COAST EXCHANGE
Prevailing Conditions Must be Overcome
and Prompt, Decisive Action by United
Growers Only Remedy at Present
Editor TRIBUNE:

Editor TRIBUNE:
Any man or number of men, who,
though, they may be helping them
selves are at the same time aiding 9TH
ers, are public benefactOrs to the peo-
pie interested.
The prevailing conditions must be
overcome and to study the situation we
must first analyze them.
Pineapples hauled to market at ex-
press speed but at lower than ordinary
established rates, that is what we grow
ers have to consider.
The railway people state through their
newspapers that they have made no
rates, simply met existing steamship
ones already in effect. This is a mere
bubble over words to deceive They
have established new rate and new
route, based on express time to mar
kets, which, owing to our geographical
situation, were very remunerative to
the growers in this section of Florida.
The Railroad people also state through
their papers that the Cuban pines 90
not compete with ours as they are used
by the Gamers entirely. while the pro-
duce newspapers report that the Cuban
pines are not purchased by the Gamers
as the pines canned last season have
not been sold. We must hunt up our
information as we cannot depend on the
railroad newspapers for reliable data
in studying this question.
Now what is the remedy to the grow
err" Prompt and decisive action. We
must get together and protect our in
terests. Form the East Coast Pineap-
apple Exchange. ,
Last year the railroad people stated
they could not reduce our rates on pines
without facing bankruptcy. Were this
true they have this year established
rates from Cuba which would put them
in this condition in double quick time.
With united effort by the East Coast
Exchange we can secure lower freight
rates, which will effect one saving.
With the East Coast Exchange estab-
lished we can buy our crate material,
fertilizer and all supplies cheaper; a
second saving.
With the East Coast Exchange formed
we can arrange to sell our own product
ana III the Case VI pines IL oiiouiu ivy
exceed five cents a crate-a third saving.
We can secure the cooperation OF
honest and capable business men in the
north and east to aid US and we have
among orr growers m n of excellent
selling ability, who know the pineapple
industry thoroughly and who cannot be
deceived as to the condition of the fruit
when claims are made that it is unsound
or inferior,
When we have this years or seasons
crop mainly gathered, let the older and
most influential growers call a meeting
to be held at Fort Pierce and start the
movement for Immediately forming the
East Coast exchange, so that by next
wear we shall have secured lower freight
rates and smoothly working organiza-
ton for our own protection.
Individually we can howl until dooms-
day at the injustice done to us without
any beneficial effects; united we have
the means of securing equity.

POPULAR OUNGlADY
STRICKEN BY DEATH

Aeloom was cast over Fort Pierce
last Sunday morning when the news
was telegraphed that Miss Sybll Hor-
ton had passed away in the St. Angus
tine hospital at 6:45 that morning.
Miss Sybil had only been i'll about
twalve days, the last six being in St.
Augustine. She was suffering with a
COMPLICATION of diseases, typhoid fever,
enlargement of the liver and peritonitis,
which was contracted in Savannah or
Jacksonville, where she was studying
to become trained nurse. ;,
While few of the intimate friends
of the family knew rt snsr ner ru fTnay wa,

the stricken ones from whose fireside
the light had fled.
From the day Miss Sybil took her
bed she has insisted that she would
never get well. While enroute to ST.
Augustine, Monday of last week, she
told those about her that she would go
home in the baggage car the following
Sunday--which she did. Her last words
were expressive of peace in God and a
willingness to depart and be at rest
with Him, cherishing hope that she
rested safely with Jesus.
Miss Sybil was the eldest child of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles M. Horton, and was
born at Melbourne, Brevard county,
March 2, 1892, but moved with her par
ents to Fort Pierce in 1902, and has
grown to almost young womanhood
among us. Her cheerful disposition
and kindness to everybody will long
linger as a fragrant memory to all.
The funeral services were conducted
from st. Andrews Episcopal church,
Monday afternoon at $3.50 o'clock, Arch
deacon r. H. Johnston conducting the
solemn and impressive service. The
edifce was not only crowded to its seat
ing capacity, but many stood in the
aisle and outside the building. A choir
composed of Mrs. w. w. Scott, organ
list; Mrs. B. B. Pyles, Mis-, Sarah Best
and Miss Ethel Tyler, sopranos; Mrs.
l.. A. Jennings, alto; w. r. Tylander,
tenor; r. l.. Evernden and J. T. Lisk,
bass, beautifully rendered Lead Kind
ly Light, ""Asleep in Jesus, and 1T
Is Not Death to Die" while r. l..
Everndsn offered that appropriate solo
"Abide in Me-"
At the close of these solemn services
all were permitted to look for the last
time upon the face of the departed,
and the funeral procession was again
formed and interment made in the 81
lent city of the dead in north Fort
Pierce, where the final words were
spoken as the body was lowered into
the grave. The pallbearers were, HON.
err Conkling, Edward Cook, Dosier Aid
man, Sam VanLandingham, Henry
Thayer and Dave Alexander.
The floral offerings equalled in pro-
fusion and beauty anything ever seen
here before, attesting to the high es.
TEEN and regard in which the deceased
was held in Fort Pierce. Among the
pieces presented by loving friends were
beautiful crosses and gates ajar"
while numerous wreaths and bouquets
adorned the casket, and were gently
strewn over the grave.
AS token of respect to the deceased
and the family, every business house
in Fort Pierce was closed during the
hours of the funeral and the flag from
the school house was placed at half
mast.
The sympathy of the community is
extended to the father, mother, broth
ers and sister, as well as other relatives,
in their irreparable loss.
