Clerk and Treasurer
The ood-fellowship and feeling Of
harmony sngsndsrsd by the recent
get together meetings. augmented by the
quiet and persistent work Of several Of
our leading business men. bids fair to ac-
eomplish the results desired and there is
now = probability that order may bs
brought from chaos and thers be but one
ticket in the field for the coming city

As may bs noted elsewhere in this is
sue Of the Enterprise the suggestion
offered at the last citizens meeting that
the old parties in city affairs issue call
for . joint nominating convention has
been acted upon, and the officers tsavs

the call for such . convention on Tues
day next, March u.
Even up until last Thursday It was not
believed that . coalition Of the old par

zsns patty intended to "Ro It alone" and
issued their call for . convention tomor.

the old faetional differences have been

.HERDED CATTLE
WITH AER0PLANES

Houston, Tex, Feb. Lit is no long
er Rene Simon the aviator, but Rene
Simon the cowboy. Known on two
continents on account of his daring,
the little French airman added new
laurels to his record when for the first
tim in the history of aviation he dem
onstrated that herding cattle with
aeroplanes is possible.
Simon, in the closing fight of SEN
sational opening day, left the aviation
field and headed across the prairies,
darted directly for herd of cattle
grazing half mile away. Cowboys
were arriving preparatory to round up
the animals when Simon bolted down
and circling around the panic-stricken
steers soon had them on a trot toward
the aviation field.
He drove them up to the fence sep
aarting the field from the prairie, and
then to prove he could do most any
thing he pleased with the machine,
started them off westward, delivering
them to the cowboys.

The county court, created two years
ago, to hear damage claims under
$500, and which, it was thought, had
been abolished by the last legislature
is still in existence. This became
known Wednesday morning when
printed copies OF the new laws were
received by county officials. Judge
BelliLger, who presldes over the court.
went through the list but could not
find the measure abolishing the court,
and to make sure asked some infor-
nation from Secretary of State Craw-
ford, with the result that he received
letter yesterday morning stating that
while the bill abolishing the court
had passed both houses Il had never
been enrolled.
All those connected with the county
court were under the impression that
II no longer existed, and as a result
there is considerable litigation pend
ing in other courts which will have
to be transferred and some cases may
have to be heard over again.
The letter Of the secretary of state
explaining the situation is as fol-
lows:
Tallahassee, Fla, Aug. 10th, 1911.
Hon. Henry Bellinger. County Judge,
Pensacola, Fla.
MY Dear Sir--I have yours OF the
18th in regard to repeal of Chapter
$3.50, and in reply beg to give the
following as taken from the journals
OF the senate and house Of 1911, to-
wit:
Senate Bill No. 341 (By Mr.
Stokes), a bill to be entitled an act 10
repeal Chapter 5sS3, etc
This bill passed the senate May
18th and was certified to the house
on May 18th; the house passed the
same on May S1st, but failed to certi-
fy the same back to the senate; there
fore, the bill was never enrolled.
Yours very truly,
III. CLAY CRAWFORD,
Secretary OF State"

HAVE CONTROL
OF THE SENATE
sHREWp MOVE BY THE REGULAR
REPUBLICANS BY A5sENTINe
THEMSELVES AND GIVING DEM
ocRATs A MAJORITY CAUSED
THE LATTER TO DISREGARD
PREVIOUS ARRANGEMENT WITH
THE INSURGENTS.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Aug. ia shrewd
move by the regular Republicans to-
day suddenly threw the Democrats in
complete control of the senate and
forced them to absolutely abandon
their coalition with the progressive
Republicans. Out of the chaos and
uproar came the bill to revise the cot
ton schedule of the Payne-Aldrich
tariff law. 1t was the bill as passed
by the house, but was saddled with
amendments to revise the iron, steel,
cotton machinery and chemical
schedule of the tariff law, coupled with
provision for reciprocal free trade
in bituminous coal across the Canadian
border.
The bill as amended goes back to
the house and will probably be sent
to conference. II it emerges this or
deal II goes to the White House aud
unquestionably will be vetoed by TaN.
Democratic votes alone were cast in
favor of the bill. The regular Repub-
licans deliberately absented them
selves. leaving the Progressives a
hopeless and helpless minority. The
Democrats found themselves in a posi-
tion where, for the sake of party con-
sistency, they had to disregard the
previous arrangements with the in
surgents. The arrangement was based
upon the belief that the Democratic
house bill will be defeated, and then
the Democrats and Insurgents can
combine and pass the La Toilette COM
promise measure. 1t was soon discov-
cred the Democratic bill could pass
without the aid of the Insurgents,
enough regular Republicans having
walked out of the chamber to give the
Democrats q majority.

Washington, Aug. 17.-Republican
applause which greeted President
Taft's veto of the wool tariff bill as
II was read in the house today was
followed by an outburst of Democratic
cheers when Underwood announced he
would call up the bill tomorrow and
move its passage over the veto.
The Democrats will make a deter
mined effort tomorrow to pass the
bill over the veto, but the Republican
leaders say this will be impossible.
The Democrats expect to develop a
two thirds majority in the house.
The senate disposed of the free list
bill as agreed upon in conference and
1t was signed tonight by Sherman and
Clark and will be sent to the president
tomorrow.
Pr sident Taft today carried out his
threat to veto the wool tariff bill. In
his special message to the house he
charact erized the measure as a blend
Of an avowed tariff for revenue only
and an anti-protection measure with a
professed protection bill He said the
bill was not in harmony with the
platform on which he was elected.
In returning the bill the president
said:
II was elected to the presidency as
the candidate of a party which in it's
platform declared its aim and pur-
pose to maintain a protective tariff by
the imposition of such duties as will
equal the difference between the cost
of production at home and abroad, to-
gether with q reasnoble profit to
American industries have always
regarded this language as fixing the
proper measure of protection at the
ascertained difference between the cost
of production at home and that abroad
and have construed the reference to
the profit &C American industries as
intended, not to add a new element to
the measure stated or to exclude from
the cost of production abroad the ele-
lnent of a manufacturers or producer q
profit, but only to emphasize the i'm
portance of including in the American
cost a manufacturers or producer s
profit, reasonable according to the
American standard.
'Tn accordance with a promise made
In the same platform, called an ex-
ira session Of the Sixty-first congress,
at which a general revision of the tariff
was made and enacted in the Payne
bill. II was contended by those who
opposed the Payne bill that the exist
ing rates of the Dingley bill were ex-
cessive and that the rates adopted in
the revising statue were not SUFFICIENT
ly reduced to conform to the promised
measure"

London, Aug. 1.-THE strenuous ef-
forts Of the liberal government made
to prevent the greatest conflict be-
tween capital and labor OF the history
Of England trembles in the balance to-
night. Representatives OF four organ
izations, comprising the Amalgamated
Society Of Railway Servants issued
a strike order tonight calling out
hundred thousand members of their
allied unions. The men were asked
to strike Immediately. At midnight
the Board Of Trade, and Railway Man
ayers union leaders were not informed
as to the extent of the response to
the strike order. The strike had not
visibly affected traffic in London so
far. Trains are moving as usual.
Day-long conferences at the Board OF
Trade offices proved fruitless. The rep
resentatives of the unions were ir-
removable from their standpoint that
the managers of the road had broken
the letters and violated the spirit OF
the conciliation agreement
I'VE have unanimously come to the
conclusion" they told Sidney Buxton,
president Of the Board of Trade, that
the only way that will now be an
effective road to peace is that the
companies shall consent to meet us.
At this point Premier Asquith inter
vened and offered to appoint a
royal commission which should inves-
tigate and report what amendments, If
any were disagreeable for the concil-
iation plan.
Mr.. Asquith made the same propo-
sition to the railroad managers, adding
the confident hope that the govern
ment might rely upon both sides TO
give all possible assistance to the pro-
posed commission
The representatives of the unions re-
fused the prefer of the Premier to
appoint the commission. The railway
managers on the contrary consented
to the plan. ...-
