COOLEST OF
WEATHER FOR
THE SEASON
is ON HAND FOR A time
Cool Wave Blew in on North.
west Winds
(Copyright.)

More cool weather came floating in
on the wings of the northwesterly
winds that blew throughout last night,
and the coolest weather of the season
is on hand here today.
Though it was not exactly a cold
wave it was certainly cool one There
is difference between the two in the
usage of the national weather bureau,
cold wave denoting a much greater
drop in temperature than cool wave.
But at any rate it's cold this morn
ing, compared with the weather that
has been experienced here recently.
The weather took decided twist to-
ward the cold side when northwesterly
winds sprang up yesterday afternoon.
These continued throughout the night,
and are likely to be felt several days

OVER A CENTURY OLD,
SICK FOR FIRST TIME
Aged Man Finally Agrees to Take
Medicine When Doctor Insists.

New York, Nov. 1.-Wolf Jacobs, 1872
years cd, remarked to his aged wife
in their home, No. 176 East One Hun
dred and Seventeenth street, that he
had queer feeling, and was in pain.
The queer feeling continued and Mrs.
Jacobs called Dr. Somerville from
Harlem Hospital.
Never had doctor before in my
life" the old man told DR.. Somerville.
"Never was sick day, not even an
hour You don't think I'm sick now?'
Not very," replied the physician
"Ell give you some medicine and you'll
be all right in a day or so. ~
Medicine! Medicine!" exclaimed the
dentenarian. 'I never had dose OF
amy drug and l don't want it now, but
III take it If you insist" He did.

ELECTORS CAN
VOTE FOR some
one ELSE
not BOUND TO SHERMAN
Republican Committee Prob
ably to Name Mann

/
lation of all sorts is rife as to what
will happen now that Vice President
Sherman, candidate to succeed himself
on the republican ticket, has died The
best opinion obtainable is to the eff
feet that those electors chosen next
Tuesday on the Taft-Sherman ticket
would cast their votes for such men
other than the deceased nominee, who
in their judgment would best repre-
sent the party to which they belonged
1t is believed that this important
question will be the subject of con-
ference in New York between Presi-
dent Taft National Chairman Hilles
and other republican leaders. Gov
Hadley, of Missouri, is the man most
prominently mentioned in Washington
as the possible successor to Mr.. Sher-
man when the electors cast their ba!-
lots.
1t must be remembered that the
electors chosen by the people are not
legally bound to vote for the men nom-
! mated by the various national conven-
tions. The only constitutional re-
quirement is that the candidates for
president and vice president shall not
both be residents of the same state.
AS matter of fact, however, electors
have always obeyed the commands of
Their votes for the nominees of that
party. The people do not vote for the
person nominated for president and
vice president but for the electors
themselves, who represent the peop' e
in the matter OF selecting a president
apd vice president, just as the people
elect members of Their state egisla-
lures who represent them in the en-
actment of laws and in the election Of
United States senators.
Even If the national committee had
the power to fl a vacancy on the
nat onal ticket, it is doubtful If that
power could be exercised at this late
day. The election is less than one
week off. The names of the candidates
have been certified to the various sec
retaries of state, and in many of the
states the ballots have been printed
It is quite probable that now that
Mr. Sherman is dead, the national
committee, as the sole representative
of the highest body in the party or
gan zation will meet to consider this
question and recommend to the regu-
lar republican electors chosen next
Tuesday candidate for their votes
in the electoral coleg Under these
circumstances many believe the cleo
tors would be guided by the committee
in casting their votes.
| A precedent is quoted where can
didate died before the meeting Of the
presidential electors. This was in the
case of Horace Greeley, who had the
nomination of the LIBERAL republicans
and the democrats in the campaign of
1872, but who died before the electoral
college met b. Gratz Brown, of Mis-
souri,. was the vice presidential candi-
date with Greeley, and as such nomi-
nee received AZ votes in the college.
The members OF the college of demo-
cratic persuasion divided their vote
for president 18 of them voting for
Brown for that Office, and AZ voting
for Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana,
la man who was not candidate on
any of the tickets. This action of the
electors was sustained when the vote
was canvassed by congress.

AmeriCus, Ga.

A great victory is within our grasp. The election
of Wilson and Marshall is practically accomplished 1t
is most desirable that they get only the large major

that they get the largest popular vote cast for can

We depend upon the press of the South to arouse

you every issue of your paper from till election
to emphasize the value of polling full democratic vote

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

interesting marriage ceremony took

tona, were united IN the holy bonds OF
matrimony The marriage was solemn

SHOULD BE WELL UNDERSTOOD

Some days ago, the Star republished
the charge of Judge Robles of the
sixth circuit. delivered in his court in
Tampa. while trying the case of the ne
gro Armstead, for shooting Robert
Yates at Plant City. Armstead was
trying to escape from Yates, who was a
night Waterman, and who followed
Armstead in such a manner, the defense
claimed as to cause him to believe not
only his liberty but his life was in
danger. The Star was struck with the
sound law enunciated in the charge
law that it knows Is not very well un-
derstood. Following are the most i'm
portant parts of the charge:
ANY person has a right to defend
himself from death or great bodily
harm and can act on appearances at
the time, but he acts at his peril and
the danger must be so apparent that
reasonable and cautious person would
fear that his life was in danger under
those circumstances. An officer must
have a warrant before making an ar
rest unless he has strong grounds for
reasonable belief that the person ar
rested has been guilty of felony or
unless a crime is committed in the Of
icer's presence. An arrest without a
warrant is allowable only under those
circumstances. The suspicion must be
such as would actuate a reasonable
person and must be founded on facts
known to the officer or on information
impaired by reliable person. An ar
rest is illegal when made by an officer
on mere belief No officer has a right
to kill in making an arrest unless in
self-defense. Any person has the right
tn 10 f,,I nd RI Ii :y,
resisting such arrest il necessary. An
officer, if he has no uniform or badge.
must state, when making an arrest.
that he is an officer, so that the person
arrested will know that it Is an author
lied person. Any person has the right
to resist unlawful arrest or an arrest
which is unusual and violent, but the
resistance must not be disproportion-
ate to the violence of the arrest. If
the person being arrested fears that he
is in danger of his life or great bodily
harm from the circumstances of the ar
rest, he is justified in protecting his
life or his body from injury"
The Star has always maintained that
it was a citizens duty, as well as the
best policy, to go quietly with an Of
ficer making an arrest, even by mis-
take, and its view of the subject is
probably biased by the fact that few in
stances of illegal or unreasonable ar
rest have occurred in this county
Other parts of the state haven't been sc
fortunate, however.
The Star is informed that the instruc-
tions for the jury, under which the
Judge made the charge, were drawn VI
by Mr.. w. K. Zewadski, who was one
of the attorneys for the defense. There
is probably no better read lawyer mol
clearer thinker in the Florida courts
than Mr.. Zewadski. He makes the
very reasonable suggestion that The
law bearing on arrest be condensed into
pamphlet form and a copy placed il
the hands not only of every officer, blu
every citizen. 1t would certainly save
a great deal of trouble If his sugges
ton was carried into effect
