faster than fifteen miles an hour
The man seemed to stop before the
car reached him. He saw Murray put
his foot on the running board, his
body was raised and swung out from
the car. His right arm was by the
seat, his left arm he could not see.
Witness was too occupied in operat-
ing the car to pay much attention to
what was going on. He kept a
straight course in passing the man
and did not swerve to the right
When Murray resumed his seat he
felt his left arm and remarked
that his ARD was sprained, and that
! the man was killed" When Murray
rose in his seat he yelled look out"
! At the luau Murray told witness
| that he was afraid that the man had
been killed and told him to go and
! look for him. He did so, found the
imam lying dead and reported the
matter to Mounted Patrolman Wright
whom he found on Hotel street A
Chinaman was near the body and the
two of them examined Hernandez to.

On returning to the luau Bolin told
Murray that the man was dead, and
Murray told him to keep quiet about
it. The killing then became a topic
of conversation at the luau.
Murray and White then drove with
BoIin to Beckley's place and from
there to the Grill. From the Grill
Bolin went with an officer to the
police station.
His memory refreshed by Cathcart
he said that at the luau Murray said
For Christ's sake keep it quiet" He
might have said that he would Kill
him if he didn't keep his mouth shut
He didn't pay much attention to what
Murray did say, as matter of fact
because he was intoxicated, as wei
as White and Henderson.

QUALIFIED LIST
OF VOTERS HEAVY
In Spite Of Short Time Allowed
for Paying Poll Tax.

The efforts of the Putnam county
Democratic club 10 induce voters 10
qualify for the primaries by the pay.
ment of poll taxes have not been with.
out effect.
The legal date for such qualification
expired last Saturday, and all that and
the proceeding day Tax Collector Han
cock was kept busy.
The actual number of poll taxes paid
in the county numbers 1142. OF this
number Mr.. Hancock estimates that
about IS per cent are white democrats.
He also estimates that about 200 white
democrats are not liable because of age,
and that there are 400 newly registered
who are not liable. This would place
the democratic voting strength in the
next primary at between fourteen and
fifteen hundred. Most of these voters
will be on hand election day and will
vote.
Candidates are now getting busy.
These voters are 10 be interviewed

their name on the ticket they must file
their application with me before mid

quired of the office for which they are

Mr.. Fearnside was asked about
whether it was planned to hold public
meetings in the various precincts.
81 don't know how that will be-"
said he, "that will be for the campaign
to decide, and the commit
tee will meet sometime next week. |
rather think the candidates want these
meetings. and think the people gener-
ally would prefer them"
Mr.. FearnSide is we'll pleased with the
size of the qualified list, for at one time
it looked as if little interest was being
taken in the primaries, and he was one
of the most active members of the State
Democratic Executive Committee TO
urge later primary so that voters would
have more time to qualify.

HiIburn on the East Coast.

Hon. S. ]. Hilburn returned Tuesday
night from campaign trip down The
east coast. He spoke at Fl. Lauderdale
Monday evening and at Fl. Pierce Tues
day morning. He left Tuesday night
for Tampa, where he presided over a
three days session of the Grand Lodge
Knights of Pythias, in his capacity as
Grand Chancellor. The Miami Metrop-
oils sent a reporter up TO "cover" the
Fl. Lauderdale speech delivered by Mr..
Hi-burn. The Metropolis says:
"Mr. Hilburn spoke standing on the
steps of the veranda of the OSceola Inn.
Many hundreds of people gathered and
the meeting proved to be one of the
most enthusiastic ever held in Ft. Lau-
derdale. Mr.. Hilburn was introduced
by Mr.. George c. Mathews, editor
of the Fort Lauderdale Sentinel.
The large assemblage listened with
intense interest to every word that
was spoken. When reference was
made to the drainage of the
Everglades the citizens were unanimous
in applauding Mr.. Hilburn. 1t was evil
dent that the voters who were listening
TO the address were with the speaker
almost to man, and he was loudly and
enthusiastically applauded. After the
address MIR. Hilburn was introduced TO
many of the leading men of Ft. Lauder
dale and that section of the country.
Several Miamians were present and
nearly an hour was spent in handshak-
ing and discussing the important issues
of the day.
"The citizens of TT. Lauderdale have
determined TO cast their vote against
Congressman Frank Clark, whose activ-
tiles against Everglade soil have injured
them terribly Mr.. Hilburn was assured
of the hearty support OF many OF the
leading men of that section of the
county,"

"Fit Only for Bar Room.

The News has received the following
letter from Mr.. Henry Clay Tucker, long
a well-known citizen of the Interlachen
section, and at present making his home
in Asbury Park, N. ]. First follows the
clipping to which his letter refers:
"Washington, March 5.-Gov. Gil
christ of Florida came to town last
night for the purpose of testifying be-
fore the House Committee of Expendi-
lures in the Agricultural Department,
which is investigating the part played
in the exploitation of the water covered
lands by government officials.
LAS soon.as he arrivedihe gave out an
interview severely criticising Represen-
tative Frank Clark of his State, who
started the investigation. After Mr..
Clark read the interview he arose today
on the floor of the House on point OF
personal privilege. This is what he
said about the chief executive of Florida;
"'This little pin-headed Governor
thought it would hurt me politically TO
charge that | was interested with rail
roads in iniuring my State. Gilchrist's
silly and false attack cannot hurt me.
and shows what miserable shrimp he
| is"
ASbury Park, March 6, 1912.
enclose you slip cut from the N.
Y. World, wherein it is stated that
Representative of the grand old State
of Florida arose in his seat in the House
in Washington and called the Governor
of the State he is supposed to represent
"a pinhead and miserable shrimp"
By the way, how could any man be
both? 1t seems to me, that the very men
to whom Frank Clark is about to appeal
for votes to return him to his present
position are the very ones who placed
your Governor in office. They should
feel complimented, surely, in placing
a ''pinhead and shrimp" in office, or
will they decide at the next election
that the "shoe is on the other foot.''
There is one thing you can say about
our old friend, Sam Hilburn. He is
true-born Southern gentleman, and moth
ing on earth could irritate him enough
TO use such language in private, much
less in public life. His district is GER
tainly in bad way if it decides TO re-
turn man TO Washington who uses
language fit only for a bar room, and
who can insult the Governor of his own
State, in the public councils of the ma
tion-a bad way, indeed, when they
have the chance TO choose a man who
would add dignity 10 the position and
be help and credit TO his people. The
South needs good and true men in
Washington now, more than ever be-
fore. Keep up your good work, and II
we must have Democrats, give US good
ones, like our old friend Hilburn.
Sincerely,
H. c. TUCKER.

resentative men of the county, repre-
senting both city and country precincts,

same will be made the coming week.
do not hesitate to say in this con-

Legislature. To labor for the passage of
measures beneficial TO the whole peo-
pie, and win against the cunning and
iatrigue of lobbyists who seek special
privileges, is Kind OF victory that
gives me fully as great pleasure as that
of assisting in the killing of vicious
measures, experience in both of which
/ had in the session of 1907.

range my business matters, and also
upon the sanction of those in my home
precinct whose jud gment value. But
whether or no, IsShall not soon forget
the Kindness of those good friends in
all parts of the county who have urged
me TO make the race and who have as
sured me that there is demand in the
county now for my return 10 the work.
