When Miss Ethel Lynn set out from

her pony cart. the sun shone, the birds

As sweetly- for them another crow

When Mr.. Earl Hopewell left the
house Of his brother. ten miles beyond
Roselands, to drive himself in an auto
to the village, he also had the sun and
the birds and a stray crow, and he
would have wagered two to one that
nothing more than bursted tire would
interrupt the harmony OF his spin.
Miss Ethefs pony was veteran Of
eighteen years. though he still had q.

shake his nerve. The one thing he
hadn't encountered was dancing

gentleman patterned after the moder

driver began to talk to him and as

the pony. He had that cart tipped

Of ifteen seconds. The girl went with
the cart and lay in a heap by the
roadside.

DAZZLING IN OTHER
PEOPLES BUSINESS

Montgomery Advertiser.

The Pensacola Journal administers
a gentle rebuke to the Atlanta Geor-
gian, which said on its front page sew
eral times that it's valiant services
were at the disposal of the people of
Florida in breaking up the convict
lease system in that state. The Geor-
gian noted that it looked as If Florida
papers wouldn't say a word against
this system, so it allowed that it would
wade in and redeem the Land of Flow
ers. Probably the esteemed Atlanta
paper thought that its Florida contem-
poraries were either too lazy or else
afraid to tackle the question.
AS a matter Of fact, as The Journal
points out, most of the Florida papers
have been fighting this system for
years, maybe before the Georgian was
born. The legislature was disposed to
take action on the matter, but as soon
as the Atlanta paper obtruded itself
their resentment was aroused against
interference for the purpose of stirring
up a sensation, and it now appears
that the Georgian, in its zeal, has done
the cause" more harm than good.
It is best to stay in your own back
yard, unless invited to come over.

The Deplorable
Lake City LYnching.

Florida people are made to blush for
shame when a lynching, such as hap
pened in Lake City Sunday, occurs
within the borders of the common
wealth.
In this instance it is more deplorable
than ordinary lynchings for two rea-
sons. First, the negroes would have
courts would have had an opportunity
TO administer the punishment the
criminals-if they were the guilty ones
deserved. Second, the leaders took
advantage of youth and secured from
him the prisoners by presenting a
forged document purporting to be from
the governor of the state.
Florida has been free from lynchings
in comparison with many other states
which makes the one on Sunday ever
more deplorable. We have a law
abiding people as a whole-a people
who are willing to trust the courts tt
administer justice-and where Lynch
law is resorted to, even before the
courts have been given a chance, it /:
a reflection upon our people and upor
our civilization.
The Journal hopes that a rigid in.
vestigation will be made to find whC
were the leaders of the mob and tha'
the courts will have a chance to show
them that they may be depended upor
to enforce the laws of the land.

WEATHERSPOON
CONFESSES TO
MANY THEFTS
NEGRO ARRESTED BY SPECIAL
OFFICER GRAHAM ADMITS
THAT HE COMMITTED SEVER
AL RoRRERIEs IN THIS CITY
AND ALSO IN OTHER CITIES IN
SOUTH.

Developments in the case of Ike
Weatherspoon, the negro who was ar
rested a day or so ago by Special
Officer Graham, on the charge of rob-
bling some residences in the city, show
that he has operated not only in Pen
sacola, but in many cities.
Weatherspoon has already admitted
to Chief Sanders that he has comit-
ted a number of other robberies in this
city, which robberies have never be-
fore been solved, and that he has
operated in a number of other cities
and states throughout the south. The
negro is a Pensacola negro, but has
been out of the city a great deal late
ly, having just returned a few days
ago.
Among the robberies in this city
which he has acknowledged that he
committed was that of the Sewel
house on East Chase street, which oc-
CURED several months ago.
Among the things found on the per-
son Of the negro at the time of his ar
rest was a diamond stud worth at
least 5000 and which nobody in this
city has claimed. The negro claims
that he bought it in Chattanooga.

The Governors
Prerogative.

There is no law which prescribes the
language that a governor must use
when addressing messages to the
houses Of the legislature, and II Gov
ernor Gilchrist has a rag-time nature
and sees At to use the latter-day ex-
pressions in his messages, the mem
bers should not take offense.
While we do not always agree with
the governor, we do believe that his
intentions are for the best. His sole
purpose is to do good for the state, and
the legislators should not be too quick
to resent his language.
This just happens to be a privilege
of the chief executive and If he
chooses to exercise it, he is within his
rights.

They Need to
Get Together.

Representative Gray, of Gadsden
county, said during his recent visit to
Pensacola that there were enough
members in both houses of the legis-
iature to pass bill to abolish techni-
.calities in the courts. If the members
would only get together.
The trouble, he says. is that they
can't agree upon any bill. though they
do agree that bill of this character is
badly needed in Florida.
This information is encouraging in
one way, yet it is very discouraging in
another. 1t is encouraging in that 1t
shows that the members realize the
necessity Of relief from the grip of
technicalities in the courts, but it is
diseouraging to think that men pos
sessing the intelligence to see the evil
of the present status of law procedure,
would fall out about the way to rem
edy it.
This is a day where almost every
one must concede some points to get a
body of men to agree upon a certain
bill, and this is what those in favor of
abolishing technicalities in law proce-
dure ought to do. In questions of
Legislation no one man can have his
way altogether and everyone who is
really interested in remedying an evil
must necessarily depend upon the as
sistance of his fellow members.
Mr.. Gray's bill was in thorough &C
cord with what Governor Gilchrist ad-
vocated, but Mr.. Gray says he is will
ing and eager to make some conces-
sions if the end can be reached there
by.
We are glad that the majority of
both houses agree that Governor Gil
christ is right in this matter and we

might prevent an extra session of the
legislature called for this specific pur-
