st. Lucie County Bond Issue
Received Knockout BLOU
Supreme Courts Decision is that the Special Bonding
LGlU and Validating Act are Unconstitutional.

Disappointing news came from Talla-
hassee Tuesday afternoon, when Judge
F., l., Hemmings received telegram
from the clerk of the Supreme Court
bearing the information that that tri-
bunal had decided adversely 10 the
matter of the St. Lucie bond issue of
$500, 900 for good roads.
This bare announcement was sup
plemented later by another telegram
which stated that the Supreme Court
had decided that the original special
act was in violation of the terms of the
Constitution. The validating act passed
at this session of the legislature was
also unconstitutional, for the reason
that the legislature had no right to
validate any action that in itself is un-
constitutional.
The point on which the court rem
dered that decision is that the legisla-
ture has no power to make special laws
for the levying and collecting of taxes.
The above decision, while casting a
gloom over the entire county, is not

prices, and tended much TO popularize
the fruit, but this company is probably
the only one in the State with sufficient
acreage or capital to spend $4,000 to
$4,000 year to advertise. There
must be cooperation of the grower or
the citrus industry of Florida is doom.
ed. California has four orange trees
to our one, and Arizona, New Mexico,
Texas and louisiana and Porto Rico
are going daffy over the orange indus
try.
California spent 100000 te advertise
its orange this season, and in spite OF
the biggest crop 10 the history OF the
State, the growers received their big
gest price.
That's the condition, not the theory
which confronts us.

Why Railroad Could
Not Handle Business

At meeting of the Florida Railroad
Commission held in Jacksonville on
March 81 to investigate the congestion
on the Florida East Coast Railway, Mr..
J. P. Beckwith, vice president OF the
road made substantially the following
statement:
1--WE make no attempt to deny trat
we have had serious trouble in moving
both freight and passenger cars during
the past two weeks.
Because of the excessively dry
weather many of the wells from which
we have been accustomed to draw wa
ter for our engines went dry and let in
salt. When this salt was taken into
the boilers and an attempt was made to
get up steam, the engine went dead and
temporarily had to bc abandoned.
"These same climatic conditions has
caused us considerable trouble with our
telegraph wires. In the daytime the
atmosphere was too dry and at night too
moist Consequently the wires went
back on US. Being unable to get mes
sagss through, We were obliged to let
the engines stand on the tracks, as 9TH
erwise we might have suffered collis-
loss and serious loss OF life. We are
planning to install telephone service to
all stations on or line to relieve these
difficulties.
"We have also been hampered be-
cause OF insufficient siding facilities, but
this condition will be remedied just as
speedily as possible. We are getting
more engines and by November we will
have twenty additional ones 10 commits
sion,
These delays are greatly regretted
by the railroad, as we are the sufferers.
We depend on the business Of the East
Coast for our revenue and any troubles
vitally concern as. The outlook, how
eyer, for the future Is much brighter
and think the congestion win be speed

FINE TRACT CHANGES HANDS. q

J. w. Sayer and wife have dis
posed of their small tract ad-
joining the Homer Mace place on
the River to Mr.. Mace for a con-
sideration of $4,000. There are
some II acres in the tract most
of which is in timothy hay. 1t
is well improved with a large
roomy honse, granary, barn, etc.
This tract was originally a part
of the Haskell place of which
Mr.. Mace is owner, and was pur-
chased by Mr.. Sayer for a mill
site and home. The mill was de
stroyed by fire several years ago
and instead of rebuilding there
and floating the logs down Silvies
River in flood time the mill was
re-established in the mountains.
Mr.. Mace will improve the pro
perty which will make an ideal
country home.
