The Unjust Handicap
Upon Florida Children.

Addressing the members OF the
Florida Educational Association in this
city last week, DR.. J. L. Kelley, super
intendent of public instruction OF
Alachua county, said that bonding the
counties to build good roads. jails. and
courthouses to be paid twenty or
thirty years from now by the children
OF today, was placing an unjust and
unfair handicap upon the girls and
boys, unless some provision was made
to enable the children to prepare them
selves to meet these obstacles when
they became men and women.
DR.. Kelly said he wanted to go on
record as objecting to counties issuing
bonds OF any kind until it was legal to
bond counties to further the cause OF
education. That it was taking advan.
tage of the youths OF the state to
make them pay for good roads and
similar improvements without helping
them along in the way of obtaining
sufficient education.
The laws Of the state now prevent
q county from issuing bonds to any
great extent and the legislature when
1t meets will be called upon to change
tho laws in regard TO this, so the
counties may be permitted to expend
as much as they like in educating the
boys and girls.
Recently Duval county issued bonds
for a million dollars to build system
! OF hard roads. Later that county tried
to bond itself for four hundred thou.
sand dollars to improve the schools
and could have easily passed the bond
issue but found that it was Illegal &C.
cording to the constitution of the state
OF Florida.
Bonding TO make improvements
should not be discontinued. for by this
means the state is making rapid
strides. but the right to issue bonds
Ia sufficient amount to make the pub
lie school system of the state thorough
should be allowed as we'll. DR.. keIly
was correct when he said the heavy
bonds the children would have to pa!
later is unjust without qualifying Their
to meet these obligations. but wher
the law is remedied TO allow countie!
TO issue school bonds. then the handi
cap will be lifted.
This will be one OF the most i'm
portant questions to come before tht
1aw-making body of the state. UpoI
the passing of an amendment allow
ing such bonds will depend in large
extent the future of the boys and girl:
OF today. 1t is important to ever,
county; it is measure which should
Ihs advocated by every man and NO
man in Florida.

RObT. S. MAYS
IS VICTIM Of
NEGR0'S BULLET
PROMINENT TuRPENTINE OPERA.
TOR OF PENSACOLA SHOT
DOWN BY NEGRO EMPLOYEE
WIDOW AND FAMILY NOTIFIED
HERE OF TRAGEDY IN BRIEF
TELEGRAM LAST NIGHT,

Robert S, Mays, prominent turpen-
tlne operator Of this city, was shot
down and killed at a turpentine camp
N the East Bay section, Santa Rosa
county, yesterday afternoon. His
Widow and children will leave their
East Gregory street home at O'Clock
THIS morning for the scene to accom-
pany the body back here
FROM the meagre details Of the
tragedy received here, the killing is
one Of the most atrocious which has
occurred in West Florida for some
time. The assassin Is negro employe
Of the dead man.
SHERIFF NOTIFIED.
The first news OF the tragedy reach
ing the city was IN a~breif telegra n
received by Mrs. Mays, merely stating
that Mr.. Mays had been killed by a
negro employe of the turpentire
camp. Deputy Sheriff Hartsield. who
resides nearby, heard OF the tragedy
and communicated with the sheriff S
office. The latter Immediately got in
touch with the authorities Of Milton
and McDavid, but was unable to gath.
er any further details. However, a
close watch for the negro MURDER
was kept through the night.
Deputy Sheriff c. w. Johnson. who
was assigned to the case, remained
at the county Jail throughout the
night. lie communicated with Consta-
Bile Allen Brewton of McDavid, but
that official had not heard OF the
tragedy. Neither had the sherif's Of
fee at Milton been notified
Constable Brewton stated over the
telephone that Mr.. Mays had procur-
ed about thlrty-five negro turpentine
workers, for work in the East Bay
section, only last week and he was
very anxious for the name and de-
scription Of the negro slayer, but up
20 this morning the name or any au-
thentic description was not known at
either Milton, McDavid or Pensacola,
and the officers in all of these places
were working under handicap.
PROMINENT HERE.
Mr.. Mays was one of the most
prominent and popular turpentine
operators of West Florida. He had
many years and had made a sue
cess.
He came into considerable promt.
hSllGS mere ABOUT Two years ago as
the principal witness in the trial OF
the Graham brothers on the charge
of conspiracy to commit peonage, in
the federal court here.
About two weeks ago Mr.. Mays leas.
Ell large section of land in the East
Bay section and had only entered or
his lease. For number of years
he had operated larm near McDa
yid. He engaged about thirty-nve ne
gro employees from that place only
last week, as stated in the foregoing,
and it is presumed that one of this
number is his murderer.
His death is keenly regretted in
Pensacola and further news OF the
tragedy is anXiously awaited.

cacy of federal aid fer hard roads, AMI
said that one OF his opponents had re
ferred to this plank in his platform as
mere political buneonbe. Later te
said this same opponent had adopted
it because he had been written to by
a man interested in roads and had
said to this man that IL is a good
thing.
He referred to a letter he had re-
ceived from a citizen OF nearby
county who asked him if he would
vote 10 abolish the national forest re,
serve in that county. TO which he hal
replied that no could not give him a
definite answer unti4 10 acquainted
himself with the matter. A little later
he received & letter from the same
man telling him he need not be so
tender footed abou. the question as
Mr.. Bryan had promised to have the

KNOW how the vote would be in toncr-
rows primary, but would relate what
mis- friends ana supporters in various
sections o. the state, who had made

situation, had told him. Mr.. Blount
then named the counties which his
friends said would go 70. him. ami
concluded by saying that he had been
advised that even in Duval county he
would get as many votes as any one
lof his opponents, and it Is possible
that he will get as many as both Of
them combined.
When tho speaker said that he
would nave a plurality in Tuesdays

Albany to the Line OF Every
Adjoining County.

ALBANY, Ga.-Several new roads
that will rank with the Best in the
state are to be built in DOugherty
county this summer. Plans for the
work have been completed by the
commissioners who will place every
available laborer on the road gang
The program is to have at east one
perfect. highway leading to the line
Of every county which touches
DOugherty. There are already two
excellent roads leading to the Lee
county line, and the new highway
leading into Worth is being complet-
ed after an annoying delay due to
a long wait for a steel bridge
ordered months ago. This bridge
has been erected The main road
leading toward the Terrell county
line has been made practically per-
feet for four-ffths of the distance
from Albany and the Baker county
road is more than half completed.
This leaves only the Calhoun road
to be built. The first link of this will
probably receive attention in the
next few weeks, and it is believed
that by the end of the year there will
be "40-mile-an-hour" highway

disorders, hopeless of relief because
she doesn't know what is the mat

1t is not true that every pain in
the back or hips is trouble peculiar
to the sex. When the kidneys get
congested and infiamed there are
many such aches and pains, and the
whole body suffers.
You can tell it is kidney trouble if
the secretions are dark colored, con-

frequent or scanty. Then help the

IPTURES WIFE AND LOVER AFTER LONG CHASE
OUR TITLED DANES IN LONDON.
Those Living Apart From Husbands
win Not Be at Coronation.

There are in London several titled
American ladies living apart from
their husbands. Others of them are
divorced. These are of the ultra
rich set. But it is said that they
are not going to get so much as a
peep in at the coronation festivities
Queen Mary, it is understood, has
made it plain that she will not toll
crate such persons. The ban, how
ever does not apply to divorces
who have remarked 1t does apply
to at least two ladies whose names
have, become famous in the United
States because of their wealth and
social connections. That sort of
thing, however, is not going to make
the people of this country fighting
