of looking after the transportation Of
the bananas across the water itself
and paying standard rate for bunch

here were said TO be satisfactory. and
the prospect Of the steamers of the
company calling here for banana car
goes was held out. Much was eX-
pected from the development Of the

began to prepare to raise a banana
crop. Some Japanese even went so
far as to plant a number Of acres with
BIuenolds bananas, this being the
variety the United Fruit Company
said II preferred.
Dream Seems Fading.
Aud now the dream seems to be
fading away, and those who had their
hopes raised at the prospect Of the
success of new industry are much
disappointed. Letters have been writ,
ten TO the United Fruit Company, but
no one has received any answer from
the concern, and even G. H.
Wears, who has acted as sort OF
representative of the concern, gath
ering data for it, has had no response
To his letters.

,ation just received:
ow many peonle did yon approach

How many people did you approach
yesterday with a request for Il sub
gcription? If you failed to see every
one whom you could reach we can
predict that some other candidate
made a better gain in votes than
yourself.
Don't let this happen again. BE
yourself the candidate who makes the
most gains today. That will help TO
balance the scales
If you knew at any hour of the
Contest that two or three more sub
scriptions would certainly win you
the prize of your choice, do you think
You would sit down ana quietly say,
"Thrcc subscriptions would assure me
of trip, but I'm not going after
them"
Wouldn't that be an odd line of talk
for candidate? There Is not one OF
you who would not have those sub
scriptiOns safe in your receipt book
before night
if you were really determined to ac-
complish certain amount.
Perhaps you think you are doing
all you can, but when you put IL to
yourself as we have done, you will
own that II three subscriptions meant
the difference between winning and
losing you would soon secure them.
4 Good Plan.
Whenever you feel that you have
come to the end of your resources just
pretend for little while that the
next three subscriptions will positive
ly bring you out a winner
II will be surprising how soon you
can secure them II you really work
as you would do under the supposed
circumstances.
More Than II Game.
If you keep this up you will find II
is Il good deal more than mere
malyc-believe. 1t will do for you just
exactly what you are pretending it

Keep right at 1t. Work for each
subscription as If the whole success
of your campaign depended upon that
particular one. and in "A short time
the fancy will become reality.
There are not a great many people
capable Of steady, sustained effort,
and it you are among those fortunate

Whatever you do, or whatever you
intend TO do. do II now, while the big

is open and while It means chance
for travel candidates to win one of

a statement after the meeting of the
cabinet, in explanation of the mass
ing of troops, and reading as follows:
The war department. is mobiliz-
ing division at full strength at San
Antonio, Texas, for the purpose of
field training of officers and men and
for the further purpose of holding
maneuvers involving possible opera
tons against Galveston.
There will be assembled at Gal
weston force of three regiments for
the defense of that place against
theoretical attacks by the navy. On
the Pacific coast the mobilization
will involve a brigade of infantry in

pose of defending San Diego and

The Los Angeles iunta is meeting
almost nightly to push the insurrec-

dingy upper rooms of the apartment
building used as headquarters, have
been matured the plans for the es-
Enlistment of sociaIistic govern

We have advanced our move
ment in lower California backed by
the liberals, far ahead of the move
ment in progress in the other Mexi-
can states" said one of the local
leaders yesterday, " and we propose
to lead and not be led. We shall 90
ahead and establish our own inde-
pendent government with Mexicai

OF THE PEACE
DISPOSE OF MINOR CASES
Give Defendant the Right of Ap-

of Bristol Court
DISPOSE OF MINOR CASES

Bristol, March Judge Chas.
J. st. John, of this city, former
circuit judge of the First judicial
circuit, in an interview proposes
that the present Legislature can
pass bill which he says will cut
out one-half of the criminal liti-
CATION in the circuit courts of the
state. He favors giving justices
of peace complete jurisdiction in
petit larceny and pistol cases.
Judge St. John says half of the
time of the circuit courts is taken
up in the trial of cases of this
kind, including adultery cases,
which he says could be tried and
disposed of by the magistrates.
He favors giving the defendants
the right of appeal.
| Such measure was passed by
the legislature some years ago,
known as the McCorkle bill, but
was vetoed by Gov. McMillin, af-
ter the Legislature adjourned, on
account of some patent mistake
in the face of the measure. Since
that time nothing has been done
in the matter.
IF we had this law, and also a
law forbidding appeals as mat
ter of right, believe, said Judge
St. John, "that we would have a
far more expeditions administra-
ton of our criminal laws. Many
criminal cases are appealed for
no other purpose than to delay
Judgment, and the state is put to
considerable expense. l like the
Virginia practice. A defendant
prepares copy of the record and
presents it to judge of the court
of appeals. If there is no merit
in his case, the writ Of appeal is
refused and that ends the matter,
instead of a long-drawn out hear
ing as he can have in Tennessee"
