DECISION HANDED DOWN IN
CASE CARRIED UP FROM HILLS,
BOROUGH COUNTY TO TEST
THE NEW LAW,

The state supreme court, in
decision just handed down, has held
the state automobile license law
constitutional and the state license
tax must now be paid. Under in
structions from county commission
ers automobile owners in Volusia
county have been holding back their
state license tax until this decision
was rendered by the supreme court.
Contending that the license tax
was unconstitutional Bruce Neff of
Hillsborough county refused to pay
the tax and the case was taken into
the circuit court, which declared the
law, passed by the legislature of
1911, unconstitutional, and discharged
Neff. To give the new law the high
est test the sheriff of Hillsborough
county carried the case up to the
state supreme court.
In the lower court proceeding Neff
was held for violating the act OF
the legislature licensing automobiles
using the highways of the state of
Florida for hire or otherwise, and
he was released OIL abaes corpus

TURNED INTO CASH AND d.
VIDED INTO 100 SHARES.

A peculiar feature of the Will of
the late Simon Heymann, who died
December l of injuries received in
runaway accident the day before, is
an order that all property holdings OF
the deceased shall be turned into
cash at convenience, all debts shall
be paid, then the remainder shall be
divided into 100 shares for distribu-
ton among his children.
The will, which has just been ad-
mitted to probate in the office of the
county Judge at DeIand, was drafted
and executed October IL Of this year
and names F. N. Conrad as executor.
The witnesses to the will are D. S.
simonds, Henry Schmidt and H. G.
Pollitz, all of Daytona.
There is no intimation given in the
will of the amount of property held
by the deceased at the time of his
death, but it is generally surmised
that the property amounts to about
$4,000. BY friends of the deceased
it is said that at one time his proper
ty holdings were much heavier than at
the time of his death. but that specu-
lation and depreciation had reduced il
during recent years.

Senator Hoke Smith will make only
a few speeches in Massachusetts, as
he intends to hurry back to Georgia,
where he will participate in the close

the primaries on May 1. Senator E
D. Smith, of South Carolina, will also
stump his state for the democratic pri-
maries to be held the middle of next
month. Senator Hoke Smith has also
promised to make speech in Florida
before April 80, which will necessitate
cutting short his Massachusetts tour. |

UNDERWOOD MASS
MEETING At SAVANNAH
HGfIin, Adams and Osborne
the Speakers

Savannah, April 23.-With the an
nouncement of double-barreled I'm
derwood rally plan, one at the Liberty
theatre Thursday night, and another
at the Savannah Theatre the follow
ing Tuesday evening, the Underwood
club uncovers its batteries in the fight
to carry the AIabamian's candidacy to
triumphal conclusion.
From Mr.. Underwoods own state
will come Congressman James Thomas
Hefin, who will make the leading
speech for Mr.. Underwood. The Hon.
w. w. Osborne will also speak. The
announcement of Mr.. Osbornes con-
nection in this wise with the candi-
dacy of the great Albanian who is
so ably illustrating the quality of
Southern craftsmanship in congress,
will hardly be less interesting than
even the coming of so distinguished a
speaker as Mr.. Heflin.
Mr.. Osborne was an attentive listen
er to Gov. Wilson's speech at the Sa-
vannah theatre Friday night and the
understanding is that from among
those on the program to speak on
Thursday night the answer to Gov.
Wilson's talk here may be expected to
come from Mr.. Osborne. 1t is needless
to say that this expectation in itself
will be sufficient to attract great
crowd to the meeting.
Judge Samuel B. Adams is the other
speaker who will lend his advocacy
to that of his two distinguished asso-
ciates in furthering the interests of Mr..
Underwood, and strengthening his
cause in Savannah. Judge Adams dur
ing the presidential campaign so far
has contented himself with some se7-
eral discussions in the public prints of
the issues of the campaign, devotin
himself particularly to some of the
theories which have been closely asso
ciated with Gov wilson's claims for
the nomination.

eager for the bales, neither were hold
ers overly anxious to sell, even at this
top-notch price. Conditions as the re-
