Is Prof. Harris an Migrate?

The Indictment against Prof. Har-
rIs bv some Of Prof. Aswelfs friends
lis that he is an migrate Ill That lie IS
giving his support to Michel instead
of Aswell. 1t is implied that IL As
we'll had anticipated PROF. Harris
SUPPORT Of Michel he (AsWell) would
have put out a candidate against
Harris. Hall is mentioned III TINS
Iconnpction. we assume incldentallH,
for effect. but Judge Hall has no
COMPLAINT against Harris, who, as
free man. is at liberty to exercise
his political prediction as he may
be inclined.
The intelligent construction OF
Prof. Harris going to Michel Is that
Michel and Hall are the only two
serious candidates for the governor
ship. and whether he be an migrate
he is aligned with Michel. whose de
feat is a certainty.
In no sense of boasting, every IN
dication leads to the reasonable as
surance that Judge Hall will be
nominated for governor. probably at
The first primary.
Here follows the editorial of the
Ruston Daily Leader:
''WHO'D A THOUGHT 1T?
THAT The right honorable Thos.

Iof Public Education and the man

The Weather and the Crops.

New Orleans Picayune Dec. ii: AS
far as the cotton crop is concerned
the weather has ceased to be of par
amount importance or even OF Sc
rious moment except insofar as II
delays the picking of the cotton still
remains in the fields or prevents the
shipments of the baled staple to
market. AS far as the crop itself Is
concerned. it is made, and good or
bad weather can help it or mar Is
no further except in so far as ram
max cause deterioration of grade IN
cotton that is still in the fields un-
picked. On the whole the weather
during the past week has been faV-
orable for picking and moving the
crop
There is no doubt that the crop
is a large one, few people now VEN
turing to claim that it will prove be-
low 100000 bales. The govern
ments report on the amount ginned
to Dec. | sets at rest all doubt as to
the crop being at least 100000
bales, although it will not be known
until today just how large the gov
eminent itself estimates the crop.
Whether all the cotton produced
will figure in the commercial crop
will depend upon how much OF this
seasons yield is held back on plan
tations and carried over into the
next season.

Mrs. Heston's Home for Children"
These friends will be glad to know
that the home is now open, that it is
delightfully."- located just outside of
Jacksonville, yet near enough to have
all the advantages of quick commune
cation with the city, that it has eight
regular inmates already, as well as
having had several transients. The
outlook for this work is most promis-
ing. The little children, who other
wise would be without the blessings
of a home, are here cared for intelli-
gently, we'll fed, and lovingly guarded
and trained, and they show their con-
tentment and happiness in the cheer
full little faces that greet the inter
ested visitor.

THE SUMTER COUNTY CASE

! A large number of citizens OF Sumter
county were in Ocala Tuesday to
hear the argument before Judge Bull
lock asking him to grant an injunc-
tion against holding another election
for locating the county site in Sumter
county.
The matter of locating the county
court house in that county has been
before the people for a number of
years and has caused more or less
dissentions among the people as sew
eral places have been candidates for
the location and it seems almost i'm
possible to conduct these elections
without engendering more or less
friction and bitterness.
1t seems that the last legislature in
order to have the location of the court
house definitely settled passed a
special law on the subject. This law
was drafted somewhat after our state
primary law. 1t allowed as many
towns to enter the first race as de-
sired to but all but the two towns
casting the highest number of votes
were eliminated from the second race.
The first election was held under the
special law on the 7th of September
and the second election has been fixed
for the 29th of September. In the
first election Bushnell and Wildwood
cast the highest number of votes and
all the other towns are eliminated
from the race.
Some of the citizens of Sumterville
and perhaps some of the citizens of
other places are now trying to get an
injunction restraining the county
commissioners from holding the
second election on the ground that
the special law under which it is
held is unconstitutional and void.
Sumterville is represented by Mr.
Hines of Tampa, and those who favor
holding the second election is repre-
sented by Judge Gains of Leesburg.
The argument began at 2:3O o'clock
Tuesday afternoon and will be con-
tinued until Wednesday morning.
Some very nice questions of law
are involved in the case and an able
argument is anticipated from both
the plaintiffs and defendants in the
case.
A large number of people were
present Tuesday afternoon and a still
larger number was present Wednes-
day.
