ATTACKED THE UNIVERSITY

Senator Flournoy of Walton county
handed the University of Florida few
choice wallops the other day during
legislative debate. The senator declar
ed that the University of Florida was
a university in name only, that it had
neither the students nor the curriculum
to Justify it's standing as a university.
He was speaking in favor of establish
ing state normal school at DeFuniak
Springs. Senator Flournoy said that
he knew from experience that the reg
ular students regarded normal students
at the universities and colleges with
contempt, that they were hardly treat
ed civilly and that the state of Florida
should follow the lead of other states
and establish an independent state
normal school.

WHAT WILL THE STATE
DO WITH THE CONVICTS:

In the debate preceding the vote TO
abolish the convict lease system, the
opinions were expressed by
senators:
Senator Carney opposed the bill on
the ground that it might require his
county to take care of more convicts
than it wanted.
Senator Finlayson said that the SOW
ereign power of the state to punish
crime was being used to siphon labor
from the farms. He said that road
building drew labor from the farms
and that this condition would be cor
rected by putting the convicts on the
road work and allowing for labor to
follow it's natural vocation.
Mr. Culpepper said that free labor
spent its money in the community
where it labored and built up that
community but that the employment
of convict labor added nothing to the
community where employed.
Senator Hudson opposed the lease
system and supported the bill because
it took the first necessary step in pre-
venting the releasing Of the convicts
between now and the next Legislature
which he said could work out the de-
tails of a great system for their en-
ployment.
Senator Baker said the question
should not be considered commercially
but in consideration OF the stigma
which would rest upon Florida so long
as she dealt in human flesh.
Mr. Stokes decided there was but
one blot upon the fair escutcheon of
Florida and that by abolishing the
system we would clear the state of its
reputation of barbarity throughout the
Union.
Senator Dayton denounced the sys-
tenn as a traffic in human slavery and
endorsed the bill because il abolished
it without competition with free labor.
| Mr. Adkins laid down the PROPOSE
| tion that every state working its con-
victs had good roads
| Mr. Mcleod said he concurred in all
the views expressed and looked upon
the abolishng of the system as in the
interests of good roads and the farm
erS.
Senator Henderson said the question
was a big one both from a business
an Humanitarian standpoint From a
business standpoint under the condi-
tions existing in Florida he thought
the bill unwise From the humanita-
rian standpoint he doubted the trutf
of the stories of barbarity except per
haps in isolated cases. which were
promptly corrected. He questioned
whether the guard of a lessee would
be any different from the guard of tn
state, declared that the bill would cos
the state far over a half-million an
nually and If that condition was i'm
pending it was we'll to remember th
taxpayer.
Mr.. Humphries said he had studied
the lease system for years and
seemed 10 him that a state farm wa
the proper solution Of the question. III
said the lands had been purchased 70
a farm and it would be we'll to awai
an experiment along that line. He de
clared that the bill was inconsistent i
that it abolished leasing in one sectio
and provided for leasing as betwee
counties in the next.

JOHN q. TILGHMAN

MIR. John @. Tilghman, one of the
leading lumber men of the state. died
at his home in Palatka Wednesday
night. The Times-Unions PaIatka
correspondent says of him:
John Quitman Tilghman was born
in Salisbury, Md, "a years ago. He has
lived in Florida and engaged in the
mill and lumber business, associated
with his father and brother, for the
past twenty-seven years. His life has
been a successful and busy one. yet
fraught with happiness impelled by a
nature of irrepressble sunshine. Just
attained to the full strength of phys
ical vigor. he was enjoying the fruits
of his labors, requiring of his devoted
family and friends that they accept a
bountiful share. John Tilghman was
a big man with a big heart and gave
most literally to any man or thing in
need of a helping hand. If the prayers
and tears of those for whom he did
some kindly service could avail today
a multitude would call him back tC
life. The funeral will be held Satur-
day morning from st. James Methodist
Episcopal church and the body will be
laid to rest in West View cemetery by
the side of loved ones gone before"
