In Central America many natives are
gathering the seeds of this plant, Ccdron
Seed, rare medicine that has valuable

This country is a large consumer OF

command, "rhou shalt not KILL the
man who kills another in defense Of
his own life, or the lives of others or
of his country, is CT minal. He should
supinely allow himself or his friend
to be murdered or his country over
run. In fact, to be logical, we should
not kill animals for food, or even
smash the mosquitoes.
AS for the anecdote about Victor
Hugo, that he ever said, ''who dare be
lieve that a machine for the cutting
off Of heads is needed In country that
has the gospel for it's gude?" it prob
ably originated in the mind of some
English or American author. Hugo
was deist, and his works, as anyone
who reads them can see, abound with
slurs at the gosepl. and it has been a
hundred years since an appeal to
Scripture would be likely to influence
the minds of a Partisan tribunal
There is, and will be, unless he con
fesses, a very faint doubt that Henry
Clay Beattie was guilty of the murder
of his wife. But if he is guilty, socie-
ty would be damnably unjust to itself
if it did not put him to death.

Mr.. Clifford E. Herrfck died at his
home at Crystal River yesterday about
noon, where he had been i'll for several
months Mr. Herrick was about 50
years of age, and had resided at Crys-
tai River for more than % years, and
since the death of Mr.. Williams, the
frst manager of the Dixon Crucible
Company's extensive interests, he has
been the manager for that concern, not
alone in Crystal River, but in several
other places in the state on the Gulf
coast. Mr.. Herrick was well known
all over the state, and had great
many warm friends He had many
strong friends in Ocala who had known
him intimately and in a pleasant bust
ness way for many years. Mr.. Her
rick was also the president of the
Bank of Crystal River and was con-
nected with many other enterprises
In that thriving community, and no
man in that section will be greater
missed than he.
Mr.. Herrick leaves a widow and one
son. Mr.. Clifford Herrick, Jr., and one
daughter. Miss Eunice Amy Herrick.
The body was laid to rest in the
family burial ground at Crystal River
at O'Clock this afternoon. Messrs.
McIver & MacKay both went down to
attend the funeral, and sent one of the
most handsome and expensive caskets
that could be had, in which the body
was laid to rest.
The Star extends it's DEEPEST sympa-
thy to the bereaved family and to the
community in their great loss.

The Star is glad to note the pre-
ence of Mr.. w. II. Milton of Marianne
in the city during the fair. Mr.. Mil
ton is a fine-looking and affab gen
tleman, not in the least resembling the
libellous pictures of him that have
been printed in some state papers.
The Star had inferred from the sad
pictures that Mr. Milton was a cadav-
erous specimen, with an expression
that would make him a cross between
John D. Rockefeller and ChaunceN D.
pew. and was agreeably surprised on
his visit to its office to see a hearty
looking person, with the aspect Of a
farmer and a country gentleman. Mr..
Milton was a close friend of the la
mented Broward. and is supposed to he
in hearty sympathy with the deceased
statesman's policies. He made lot
of friends herein fact, he has a
knack of making friends with all he
meets. One of the disadvantages Of
our state is that the people of West
Florida seem strangers to those of the
south, and the Star wishes that the
other good men on the other side Of
the Chattahooche would follow Mr..
Millions example and come over and
mix with us as often as possible,

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

Almost in the very beginning there

more literally than Jehovah ever in

The Jews are said to have been
Gods chosen people. If they were not,
our entire system of theology was
wrong. But capital punishment, very
strictly and severely applied, was
part of the Jewish law, was enforced
for centuries after the issue of the
commandments from Sinai, but the Star
does not think that the Banner can
point out any passage of Scripture
that condemned them for either its
theory or practice. The Jews, accord
