MRS. ERB AND SISTER AcQUiT
TED

It is q matter of sincere congratula-
ton to everyone who has a soul III
his body that Mrs. Florence Erb and
her sister. Mrs. Catharine Beisel, who
were on trial at Media. Pa, for the
murder of Mrs. Erb's husband, Capt.
J. Clayton Erb. were acquitted.
If one-tenth part of the awful sto-
ries told of Erb were true it is a won
der how he was permitted to live
among civilized people.
True, he was fashioned in the
ries told of Erb are true it is a Won
shape OF a man. but it is a SANDER on
any brute to liken him to one.
He was q fend incarnate.
In speaking of the acquittaI Of the
tv1 women the dispatches say:
Judge Johnson took his seat as the
jury was escorted into the room.
There was absolute silence.
Then the court clerk went through
the usual proceeding of asking whetd-
er the jury had agreed. and the fore
man announced the verdict OF not
guilty in each case.
There was a seconds pause, a dead
silence, then with a half scream the
sisters fell in each others arms. Ev-
erybody in the court room was on his
or her feet as they watched the pa
thetic scene.
In an instant the women were sur
rounded by friends and their attor-
neys and overwhelmed with congrat-
ulations.
Harry Beisel threw his arms around
his wife and his sister-in-Iaw, Mrs.
Erb, and tears came from their eyes.
The jury was composed, and after
Judge Johnson had thanked them,
Mrs. Erb hurried from her seat TO
Dickinson, the foreman, and wrung
mas hand. Mrs. Beisel did likewise.
and they went down the line Of the
twelve men.
Tears stood in the eyes of most of
them and the thanks of the women
were sobbed out in broken syllables.

be acquitted" said Mrs. Erb after the
jury had gone. 7 was only fearful

ocALA SHOULD GET BUSY

Carloads of people pass through
Ocala nearly every day going to va
rious points in south Florida, princi-
pally TO Eustis, Orlando and st. Pc
tersburg. Ocala for some reason or
other fails to get her share. These
visitors are not going to come lust
dry So" at least not until the way is
blaZed. We have got TO do something
to attract them. They are a valuable
asset to the prosperity Of a commu-
nifty and can be gotter here as we'll as
in other places if the proper methods
are taken. The best suggestion that
we have heard was recently made by
Mr.. L. James knight. He said that if
an automobile road was built direct
from Ocala TO Daytona we would have
the tourists here by hundreds every
winter, and we believe that he is cor
rect. The drive could be made in
three hours. The attractions in this
section are not surpassed by any in
the state. The face of the country is
so entirely different from that along
tae seashore; our comparatively high
hills and beautiful hammock woods
would be quite fetching. Silver
Springs, Lake Weir, Orange Lake and
our phosphate mining would all prove
good drawing cards. With this road
quilt and the erection of one or two
mOdernly equipped hotels we believe
that this section could be made as
popular a resort for winter tourists as
the east coast is now. But we must
be up and doing. The spider never
sits down to catch flies until he
spreads his web. Before we can hope
to get our share of the tourist travel
we must be prepared to entertain
these pleasure seekers and sight
seers in as excellent a manner as
they are accommodated in other Sec
tons of the state

BROWARD

Hon. Napoleon Bonaparte Broward
turned over the reins of government
TO his successor, Hon. Albert ". Gil
christ, on Tuesday. January 5th. and
is now a private citizen.
Various estimates are placed on his
official career. Some go so far as to
say that he made the best governor
the state has ever had. Others say
that he accomplished least for the
benefit of the people. That taxes
were heavier, and the number of Off
Gals greater under his than under
any previous administration.
Governor Broward entered upon his
duties as chief executive committed
10 the primary system, but was quick
to ignore it and set aside its findings.
Unfaithful to his public pledges, he
was likewise untrue to his personal
promises. But the worst thing that

ton will be the scandal which his ap-
pOintment OF United States senators

Of the press by constantly threaten
ing libel suits will not be at all cred
liable to him.
His name will be identified with the

Ors will be accorded him, which he
will deserve, although the scheme was
not original with him.

These merchants, who declare that

is asked that for two or three more
years the buildings be left intact and
the fairs be held. This petition has
been signed by practically all of the

EX-SENATOR CALL WANTS VILLA
ALEXANDRIA

Papers we're filed Thursday in the
circuit court in the case OF WlIkln-
son Call VS.. David T. Mitchell. J. X.
Parrort and Harry Mason. One OF
the paDers is a bill in chancery, and
the other a petition for the appoint
ment of a receiver.
In the bill Call alleges that Mitchell
is owner by inheritance Of villa Al
exandria." on the south shore OF the
St Johns river, containing 142 acres
Of land and buildings. On the md
inst. Call says Mitchell executed an
agreement to him (CalD in which
Mitchell sold and bound himself 10

-ba 21nd inst. Call now says that he
is informed that PARROT sold the
7ronartv to the late Admiral Cogs-
well. subject to a mortgage Of S2f,-
GOO. and that Cogswell died inestate'
and Mason claims TO have purchased
the mortgage from ParOtt. and that
Mason has obtained an appointment
as curator. and took possession Of the
proDertv and fled a bill to fOreclose
the mortgage. Call now prays leave
to pav the money and to obtain a
deed to the property by order Of court.
Also that Mitchell shall be bound by
the agreement and shall pay to him
(CalD and the parties represented by
the latter any damage, legal expenses
or other legitimate charges that may
be incurred by reason of Mitchelps
failure to perform the agreement.
The petition for a receiver sets
forth that the preservation of the
property requires the appointment of
a receiver. Call also alleges upon in
formation and belief that the appoint
ment of a curator upon the estate Of
the late Admiral Cogswell was made
by the court at the request Of PARROT,
without the knowledge or consent Of
the heirs of CogsweH. and without any
ownership to substantial interest in
the property. except the mortgage ex-
acuted by COgsweIl to PARROT, which
Call says is not valid be-
cause a deed to the property had not
been delivered to Cogswen.

OUR NEW GOVERNOR

Gen. Albert W. Gilchrist of Punta
Gorda was on Tuesday inaugurated
governor of Florida at Tallahassee
with imposing ceremonies, and has en-
tered upon the discharge of his i'm
portant duties and responsibilities I'M
der the most favorable auspices, with
the confidence and best wishes fer a
successful administration on the part
Of the people of the state.
For reasons which it considered
important and ample at the time, the
News did not support General Gil
christ in the primary, but with the
announcement of his success at the
polls, all opposition ceased. and this
paper became his ardent well-wisher
and staunch supporter. Now that he
is the governor the News yields to
none in the patriotic, loyal support it
will give the new chief executive, nor
in the sincerity of its wishes for
most successful administration.
1t is possible the necessity may
arise to warrant criticism of some of
the governors official acts, but that
criticism will not be inconsistent with
our well wishes here expressed.
There are good reasons for the be-
lief that Governor Gilchrist's admin
istratiOn will prove one of great ad-
vantage to the state. He is a bust
ness man, a careful man, a man of
peace without being a trimmer-not
factionalist. Florida has had an over
dose Of factionalists in the executive
Office and is now in shape to appre-
ciate the steady-going man of affairs.
who gives promise of being governed
by reason rather than prejudice or
hope Of factional advantage.
And such a man we believe is Gov
ernOr Albert W. Gilchrist.
And such a man is going to do his /
full share in the work Of rauniting the |.
