shot her four times and reserved one
shot for himself.
Cobb's only purpose seemed to be
to fix up some sort of a plea to save
his life. His attorneys had proposed
that he would enter plea of guilty
and take life sentance. but the
girls mother would not consent to
an agreed case. but said she wanted
the law to take its course. .Cobb's
story left him without even the plea
of insanity and was confession of
deliberate murder.
Yesterday morning a boy named
Garrett Cravens who heard the con-
versation at Klien's was put on the
stand and denied that Miss Cravens
had told Cobb it would be all right
for him to come out, two miles from
town. and tell her goodbye. after II
o'clock. The boy would have told
that Cobb had asked her if she was
going to see another boy Sunday and
she said yes, that she had right to
see any one she chose to. and that
Cobb had said you won't do it,"
This was held to be inadmissible.

ago, and served that community eff

MURDER NEAR suMTERvILLE

]. A. Jones, for twelve years super
intendent of public instruction of
Sumter county, was killed on his own
premises early Wednesday morning
by Will Baxley, white man.
Jones had accused Bailey of steal
ing a certain amount of money in gold
from him. Baxley's premises were
searched under a search warrant,
and the amount of money answering
the description was found, but could
not be identified as being the identical
money lost by Jones, so the case was
dismissed.
This, of course, engendered i'll feel
ing between the two men.
Bailey claims that he was passing
Jones' place while going squirrel
hunting; that Jones hailed him, and
as he approached him he fired upon
him, and that he Oakley returned
the fire. A pistol was found by Jones
side.
The wife of Jones, the only with sss
to the tragedy, refuses to make a
statement.

FEDERAL AID FOR OUR ROADS

At last we have gotten down to the
core of the situation, to it's very meat.
There will be a convention in Wash
ington on January 18th, less than two
months hence, to ask that the govern
ment approve the newly openly de-
clared policy of federal aid for the
building of roads by the different
states. The American Road Congress,
in session at Richmond, on Thursday
declared itself in support of that poll
cy and Immediately steps were taken
10 amalgamate all good roads associa-
lions in the country, and the Ameri-
can Automobile Association and va
rious other organizations directly in
terested in this big issue, into one IT.
resistible body, which can voice
national demand upon congress. The
American Automobile Association
called the Washington convention, in
viting delegates from every member
OF the amalgamation and from every
state. Sufficient pledges have been
received to show beyond peradven-
ture OF a doubt that the convention
will be a nationally representative
one and that its voice will be heard
and needed in the halls of congress.
For years the Journal has advocat-
ed federal aid for good roads, and has
looked forward TO its countrywide
declaration as the contamination OF
the campaign for better highways ev-
erywhere. National aid is recog-
nized policy in Europe. whose leading
countries are still many years ahead
of the United States in the matter Of
road building. France, notably, mas
reduced the work to an economic and
practical science. Germany is hardly
less progressive in it. The time mas
arrived for our own country to give
national encouragement, in money as
well as instruction, to the states that
give then alton its being.
Millions of dollars have been spent
and will yet be spent on the develop
ment of harbors and inland water
ways. Much of it has been thrown
away. The greater portion of it has
helped the nation more or less appre-
ciably.
But beside the good roads forward
movement, rivers and harbors become
less significant, less vital to the well
fare of the whole country. Our facil-
titles for water commerce have been
improved because of their relation to
trade and traffic; yet the very ar
teries of that trade and traffic, the
roads which lead from the farm
whence springs all our national pros
perity. have been neglected by our
national government.
Now approaches the dawn of new
appreciation of the importance of our
country roads. Let every man lend
all the influence at his command to
the successful conclusion of the fed
eral aid convention in Washington in
January.-Atlanta Journal.

Hon. William H. Milton of Marian
ma visited Ocala during the pragress
of the Marion county fair, and. said
that the popular sentiment was beat
ing so strongly in his favor for goy-
ernor of Florida that he would easily
be in the second primary. Mr.. Wat
son has returned to his home in Mi
ami from a trip to the western por-
ton of the state, as far as Pensacola,
where he remained nine days. He
spent several days in Tallahassee and
a number in Jacksonville, and feels
absolutely confident that he will cas-
lily be in the. second primary. So al
the other candidates will just have
the pleasure of running in the first
primary, which, if not profitable, we
hope will at least be enjoyable. But
from assurances of support promised
him from all sections of the state
Park Trammell is confident also Of
being in the second primary. Colonel
Cromwell Gibbons has not yet begun
his pilgrimage over the state, and Mr..
Semple of Key West has just made
his announcement, and candidates
will have until the first of March to
butt" into the race. So candidate
cannot always sometimes tell wheth-
er he will spend the next four years
quietly at Tallahassee or actively at
home.

We recommend the adoption of The
following preamble and resolutions:
Whereas, in the dispensation of our
Heavenly Father our beloved COM
rade, William P Norman, has been
removed by what is called death to
the realities of the world beyond;
therefore, be it resolved:
/. That to this dispensation we
humbly bow
?. That in the death of Comrade
Norman the community at large has
lost useful citizen, his family low
ing husband and father, and this
camp a useful and highly esteemed
member.
3. That our sincere coincidence is
hereby extended to his bereaved fam
lily in this their time of sorrow; that
copy of this preamble and resolu-
tons be furnished his family; that
they be published in the Ocala BAN
ner and the Ocala Star; that a blank
