Deputy Sheriff Wynne of Levy cOun-
ty killed q negro on Thursday who had
resisted arrest and commenced shoot
ing at the officer. The deputy had
learned that the negro was carrying
pistol and went to the wood camp for
the purpose of arresting the party, but
when the negro saw him and learned Of
his mission, he began firing at the off
Ger. None of the bullets of the negrO's
weapon took effect, however, and the
deputy, in seIf-defense, fired upon the
darkey with the above result. The
whole affair occurred near the DuttOn
wood camp, which is situated in Levy
county near Meredith, so we were in
formed, which is information that one
more killing occurred outside Of this
county. Gainesville Sun.

An incident which happened some
time ago but has just come to our ears
will prove a warning to milk cows
around town not to stand on the street
at midnight. One Of our popular depot
agents took in more cash in the after
noon than he cared to leave in the Office
over night and decided to take il home.
He filled one of his OvercOat pockets
with the mazuma and stuck a fOrmid-
able revolver in the other. En- route
home expecting to encounter a high
wayman at every step, he met an in
nOcent old COW and in the darkness
mistOOk her for the highwayman and
forthwith opened fire. Fortunately his
aim was better than his discrimination
and the COW got off with a very slight
wound from which she has already re-
covered. Perry Herald.

"DahlOnega dollars" now command
a considerable premium in the market.
One of them was sold in New York the
other day for $29N The ''DahlOnega
dollars are gold coins that were minted
at Dahlonega, Ca, practically up to
the time of the outbreak of the war
between the States. DahlOnega is now
one of the summer resorts Of Geargia,
and an educational town, and the old
citizens interest visitors by relating in
cidents of mining and the mint. The
writer once lived in that picturesque
town and had several Of these dollars.
He now sees how foolish he was to let
them slip.-Tallahassee True Democrat.

A recent Pensacola dispatch says:
According to letters received here by
R. Pope Reese, special assistant to the
United States attorney general, the
circuit court of appeals has upheld the
decision of the district court for the
Northern district of Florida in the
peonage case of W. S. Harlan, ct al,
which were appealed from here, and
the plaintiffs in error will be compelled
to serve the sentences imposed upon
them two years ago. The cases Origi-
mated in the camps of the Jackson
Lumber Company, one of the largest
plants in the South, and the trial was
one of the most important Of its nature
ever to occur in the South. A verdict
of guilty was rendered by the jury and
sentences of from twelve to eighteen
months with heavy fines in addition
were imposed by Judge Swayne, now
deceased. The cases were then ap-
pealed to the circuit court of appeals
at New Orleans and were recently
argued with a decision affirming the
lower court. Those who are to serve
time are Mgr. W. S. Harlan, eighteen
months; c. C. Hilton, S. E. Higgins,

Said the Speaker after reading the
House rule which provides that officers
of the House shall be under the con-
troll of the Speaker: The stenographer
is required to do more than sit in a
chair and make hierogyhics which the
House can't read, for $40 per day. The
Speaker is responsible for the accounts
committee refusing to allow extra re-
Enumeration Such were the Speakers
orders. 1t matters not what you will
do with this resolution, but if the
House wishes to take away from the
Speaker his responsibilities, it may do
SO. There's no objection to the steno-
grapher getting paid extra for carbon
copies outside, but it was understood at
the beginning that $40 per day should
include transcription of notes for the
benefit of the House. The Chair has
had experience in past legislatures in
regard to what is called graft and re-
grets having to bring this up, but the
resolution was. introduced without the
knowledge of the Chair and the Chair
cannot but help express it's views.
There have been vouchers for addition
al compensation which is unheard of.
The people might as well know that
as long as | am in this Chair, | will
not tolerate anything of the kind II
is the peoples money and we are only
the agents and trustees of the people"
Long argued that transcription was
not, according to past legislatures, in
cluded in the duties of the stenograph-
err. He thought it would have been
better if the expression graft" had
not been used.
Rice remarked that he had served in
previous sessions and had seen $50
and more a day drawn down. The Sc
nate had no stenographer, he said,
though Long had referred to the Sc
nate stenographer getting paid for
transcripts. Rice wanted a vote taken.
He was tired of the stories of graft that
had a way of going about town. He
was willing to resign and did resign,
he said, to let those who thought they
knew more, handle his work in the ac-
counts committee.
Sheldon declared the Speaker should
have been consulted before to intro
luction of the resolution. What was
he good of stenogTaphic notes unless
transcribed. Kama spoke against the
'esolution.
Long asked if clerks had not been

mittee reports 1t was not fair, he
thought, that the original transcriber
should not be paid extra.
Castro moved to table the resolution.
Kama seconded.
Castro withdrew to let Long talk
again. Castro stated that bills had
been presented for typewriting but had
been refused. The only officers paid
extra had been the stenographer for
some work done out of hours
Stenographer Lloyd sent a note to
Cohen. Cohen asked that the steno-
grapher be allowed to make a state
ment in regard to his position Hol-
stein ruled the motion out of order.
Long believed it rank injustice to
pay clerks for copying the stenogra-
piers transcription when the stenogra-
pher was not paid for it outside Of his

stenCgrapher.
Lloyd stated that his resignation
had been sent in and returned.
The Speaker had no knowledge of
what the envelope contained.
Later Lloyd stated that he had
withdrawn his resignation, then mo

there was no resignation.
