he said. I've been around these camps
when nobody knew of my presence,
and l would like to take some of
these philanthropists with me on such
2 trip, ITO see the good treatment and
the contentment that surrounds and
prevails among them. We all know
that they are composed of a class of
people to whom confinement in the
penitentiary is no disgrace. When a
negro comes back from a convict
camp, why he is hero in the neigh
borhood; his experience doesn't even
AFFECT his standing in the church.
Take these seventeen hundred sound
rels and turn them loose on the state,
with no proper way to guard or con-
fine them, scatter them up and down
the public roads of the state and
IN tWenty-four hours after they are
thus liberated. Let them remain in

scoundrels loose any more"
ANGLES WARM ATTACK.

temptuous reference to these philan-

even tempered and optimistic Angle
Dougherty was out of his seat when
he spoke and when he finished he sat
just across the aisle from Angles

circuits, or eleven. The bill went to
the enrolling clerk yesterday and will
probably be signed by the governor to-
morrow or early during the coming
week.
Mitchell D. Price and Carl Robinson,
attorneys of Miami, candidates for
judge and solicitor of the new circuit
to be composed of Dade, Palm Beach
and Monroe, were in Tallahassee to-
day. The Miami bar has endorsed MIR.
Price almost unanimously for judge,

was reported that Key West would
have no candidate for the solicitorship
and in that event the iudgeship would
go to Judge Bethel of Key West and
the solicitorship to Miami-either to
John Granting or Carl Robinson.
A GARBLED REPORT.
The reading of a CARRIED newspaper
report in the senate yesterday by the
members as they waited for Senator
Dayton to finish his speech on the in

amusement.

President Fred Cone grew wroth yes

LET there be order in the chair, "
shouted the president. The senator
from the Thirteenth seconded the mo-
ton, and the president wore a dry grin.
Member Robinson went to sleep in
the house yesterday during Dougherty' s
speech. When the time came to vote
on the indefinite l;ostponement of Nc
Kenzie s'bill, the name of Robinson
was called in vain. Floyd moved that
the gentleman be required to vote;

cused. All through the pow-wow

dollars for good roads.

measure was lost in the house Thurs

Altogether the next few months will

that only by intelligent and vigorous

years can real relief be effected. The
suggestion has been made that the So

DON ANEW UNIFORM

Color Is Something Between Khaki

glimpse of French soldiers dressed in

privates came from their "caserne"

in order to parade about the streets
and advertise the innovation in mill

The uniform is known as 'I'uni,

The purpose Of the color is to blend
the hue Of a regiment with that OF

two problems have been offered for his
consideration:

pounds. knock down his wife, who
weighs 200 pounds, twice on Sunday
and several times during the week?
2 Can a man who is only 4 feet 10

she is standing up and is 5 feet 10
inches tall?
The principals in the case are Mrs,

problems indicate their conflicting
testimony in the case.

SHIFTS A DISPLACED HEART

entered the hospital a few weeks ago
The history of his case was not clear.
The surgeons found that much fluid
had accumulated in the cavity that
contains his left lung; its pressure
had pushed his heart out of its normal
position and to the right, so that Harry
would have had to lay his hand over
his breastbOne if he wanted to make
love with appropriate gestures.
The surgeons tapped Harry's left
pleural cavity very much in the same
way and with the same kind of in
strument as a nurse taps a bottle Of
Champagne to draw off one glass for
tie patient But the surgeons drew
all the liquid from the cavity. Then
Harry's heart, being relieved from
pressure, returned to its proper posi-
ton and resumed pumping at the same
old stand Literally, Harry breathed
freer. but that had not so much to do
With his heart as with his left lung;
there was more room for air in it
after the fluid was removed.

keep as quiet as possible, else the fluid
may accumulate again. But if it doeg

resenting townships or districts and
between boys in the same neighbor-
