GOVERNORS ATTITUDE
ON CIRCUIT JUDGESHIP

Up to the present time the News has
not heard word of censure directed
toward Judge Perkins, either as to his
ability to wear the ermine, or as to his
accepting the appointment. The people
and the press throughout the State
appear to accept the statement that
there was vacancy, the governor
positively refusing to reappolnt Judge
Jones, and Mr.. Perkins accepted the
place rendered him by the governor.
For the governor, however, nearly
every newspaper in the State, except
the two Jacksonville dailies, has shown
the utmost contempt No lawyer, no
county official, no citizens, we have
talked with knows the reason, or the
alleged reason, the governor gives Uf
he gives any for ignoring the wishes
of the people and turning down Judge
Jones, an attempting to ruin his life
in its COOL pleasant, restful evening.
The difference appears to be entirely
personal with FIorida's apology for
governor. 1t appears to be petty spite.
1t is rumored as reason for Gil
christs fool action, that he (GllchrlsU
was told that Judge Jones made the
remark that Gilchrst was a Jew and
that his name originally was Kill-Chrlst.
1t is also said that Judge Jones did not
make the remark. The writer doesn' t
know who first made this statement,
nor whether or not it is true, but he
heard it first in Jacksonville in the early
part of the political campaign of 1909
And he did not hear the remark from
Judge Jones, either. -, =,
When the people of Florida went to
the primary polls in 1908 and voted FOR
Gilchrist for governor, they knew that
they were voting for an ignorant, crude
boar. The manner of his campaign,
proved his unftness for the, office OF
governor of Florida, which had been
filed by such men as BloXham. Broome,
Drew and Broward Iceland News.

In the shipping statistics for the
season of 1901, tabulated by the
lorida Citrus Exchange, averaging up
all the fruit handled by that concern.
the following showings are made:
In straight cars-F. 0. B.
Oranges (19O9-1O) averaged 81. Is per
box; 1901 averaged $3.50 per box,
an increase of IS cents per box.
Grapefruit 1909-lW averaged 81 %
per box; 19lO-1l averaged 81. 95 per box,
a decrease of 33 cents per box.
Tangerines (1909 lO) averaged Sl.ol

an increase of 70 cents per box.
Mixed cars (19O9-lU averaged $l.37

In segregated statement of the
different sub-exchanges we find that
Indian River (Mims) shipped 1900 boxes
in solid cars, which averaged 81 rs per
box f. 0. b. This is by far the highest
average of any sub-exchange and is 20
per cent higher than the next two best

that Indian River fruit brought 30 per

all other fruit handled by the exchange.
In mixed cars Indian River exchange
handled 2,49O boxes, which averaged
81. u per box, the decay on which was
less than one per cent for both solid and

JUDGE JONES HONORtD
BY BAR OF ORANGE

On adjournment of the circuit court
of Orange county Hon. Minor S. Jones,
presiding, the bar of Orange county and
the officers of the court being mindful
that the term of Office of Judge Jones
would eXpire with the month OF June,
1911, and being DESTROYS of showing to
the Judge the high esteem in which he
is held by the bar of Orange county
and the officers of court over the circuit
court of which he has held the position
of Judge for the past fourteen years,
thought proper to present to Judge
Jones a testimonial on his retirement
that would express fully to him the re-
qret of the bar that he is to be no long
err their Judge, and at the same time to
give utterance to their appreciation as
to his high standing as a jurist, his many
noble qualities as man, his worth as
citizen and the love and esteem they
hold him in, says the Sanford Herald.
And with this end in view, a commit,
tee appointed selected gold headed
cane and umbrella. The bar met and
How. W. l.. Palmer was selected to
make the presentation speech, which
was most eloquently and appropriately
rendered, expressing in behalf Of him
self the bar and officers of the court
fittingly their deep respect for his worth
and high qualities, his honesty of pur-
nose and impartial administration of his
duties as Judge, his ability and fairness
in all matters, etc.
While the words of Mr.. Palmer were
eloouent and well chosen it was very
noticeable that every person present was

only too willing to second his remarks
and in conclusion the good and noble
wife of the retiring jurist was not for
gotten. Very happily she was referred
to, as in many cases the wife is helpful
in the making of the man, and the cane
the judge was informed was to his wife,
who would share the honor, he had won
and who had been "helpful in the win
ming" etc. The testimonial was then
handed His Honor. who, in accepting
and in reply to Mr.. Palmer showed very
plainly his full appreciation in few
words, broken by his unrepressed graf
itude. The judge was moved at times
to tears and plainly showed his love for
the members of the bar and the officers
of his court, and his regrets at the part
ing of the way" The judges talk re-
minded US Of question that was asked
of delegate to the convention that first
nominated George Washington as presi-
dent of the United States. The dele
gate was asked: "Who was the most
eloquent man in the conventions" At
ter thought he replied, George Wash

George said, and in reply said" On.
nothing, he just wept." And so it was
with Judge Jones, his tears were elo-
quent.
The Judge left Sanford Wednesday
morning for his home in Titusville,
where he will take up again the prac-
tce of his profession.
Not only the bar of this county, but
we know the bar Of the several coun-
ties of this circuit second the voice of
Orange, all wishing him well and pros

years residence in this State on the
part of soldiers who enlisted in the
Confederate Army from other States,
and one years residence on the part of
those who enlisted from this State.
All efforts to amend the pension law in
other respects failed.
