PRIEST REFUSES TO
 BETRAY MURDERER

Paris. August 12-(Special)--A myste- rious tragedy has occurred in the little town of Saint-Severin, near Angeulemc. where a parish priest, the Abbe Guiba'llt, was shot in his own rectory, and died after refusing to tell the name of the person who shot him.
 The Abbe Gubault had been some ~ years in the parish, and was liked and esteemed by all his parishioners. He lived alone in the .rectory and on Wednesday morning had been receiving a number of callers. At noon he went to his room to rest himself when there was another call. He got up and went down the stairs that led to the vestibule which was dark be- cause the house door was shut. when he was suddenly fired on by someone wi1h a gun and wounded under the jaw. The shot was heard by a number of neigh bors, who hurried to the house. The priest came stumbling out of the vesti- bule, walked a few steps in the yard and then fell on the gravel. As he was oei'tg raised up he said that the man who shot him was still in the house. 'I pardon him." he added but this was all that could be obtained from him.
 In spite of all medical attendance, the priest soon succumbed, and, although he could have given the name of his ag- eressor he refused to do so. A gun was found in the vestibule, and a neighbor at once recognized 1t as his own. He was astonished and wondered how 1t had been

Further there is evidence that the

So we will admit that we eat green

doesn't cost anything. There are q
hundred thousand or more orange In
that grove. But you place yourself as
the buyer of that fruit at f1ve cents
throw, and you find 1t bitter or sour.
You will hike that dozen oranges back
to the seller like 1t was a dozen bad
eggs or a pound OF rank butter. and
you would ask where in the world did
those oranges come from, and affirm
that you wouldn't buy any more of
them, etc.
That's human nature. You will put
up with burnt steak at home and
tear the side out Of a restaurant when
the offense costs you S1.25 with trim
minss. You will praise Mrs. Jones's
apple dunplings, when you are her
guest, but II the same dumping was

would tell the head waiter and all the
people within hearing of your voice

what you can do. You are the selleS.
Place yourself as the buyer.

orange is to be sold on honor. and the
Florida Citrus Exchange has the back
bone to place IL there, aided and abet-
ted by most of the press of the state,
the people, and the honest grower.
You haven't heard a howl from the
ripe orange shipper.
The cry has come from green orange
shippers, relatives of same, and COM
mission men who like to have the mar
ket with no bottom; when the oranges
begin to move, so they can fool the
poor grower; also an association or

sents. In the constitution of the
United States q part of the third para
graph Of Section II says The actual
enumeration shall be made within

within every subsequent term of years,
In such manner as they shall not ex-

In the general statutes of Florida for
1906, Sec $3.50, page 1876, there is some
information on the subject which says
that congressman shall be elected in
and for the districts. Unless the "in"
means that the one 80 elected must be
a resident Of the district, there appears
to be no reason, so far as we can find
out. why he must be a resident OF the
district IL he is qualified according to
the constitution of the United States.
Probably no one would have the
audacity to live in one district and ask
another to elect him to congress, but
technically-and technicalities do cut
some figure in Florida-there appears
to be no reason why the three district
congressman and the congressman at
large should not reside in Punta Gorda,
Mulat or wildwood.
