It was in this shape when Sir Fran
els Drake attacked st. Augustine in
1886. The fort was again attack0l
In 1865 by John Davis, freebooter and
buccaneer. The people fed to the
woods while Davis PLACED the town.
Later the fort was rebuilt and named
Fort Marion, now the property Of the
federal government and maintained
chiefly as an interesting antique.
Thousands of persons visit It annually.
In it's early life st. Augustine was
the most cosmopolitan city in the
land and all because of mixed col
ony of Minorcans, Italians, Greeks and
natives of southern European coun-
tries brought to the state In 1869 as
laborers for an indigo plantation
owned by English capitalists. They
settled In New Smyrna, but soon re-
belled against their English employ
ers. That probably was the first or
ganized labor strike In North Amer
lea.
Moving to st. Augustine, where
they were allotted land and given pro-
lection. the indigo plantation workers
intermarried with the Spanish and
English residents and their descend
ants form large proportion Of the
population of the present city.

Spain $5.000,000 for the territory Of
Florida and General Andrew jackson

This second group OF invading

TO SUSTAIN
INJUNCTION
Enieining Four Men Who Received
Election Certificates From Taking
Their Seats on Beard of Education

Georgetown, Ky, Jan. 19.-The
Court Of Appeals has decided to sus-
tain the injunction enjoining four
men, who received the election certi-
ficates, from taking their seats as
members of the Georgetown Board Of
Education. The case was originally
heard before one judge, who called in
the entire Court of Appeals, and the
ease was decided by the whole court.
The decision Of the court was to
sustain the injunction, until the case
could be tried out upon its merits.
Tie injunction was originally obtain
ed from the Circuit Clerk. A motion
to dissolve the injunction against
the four who received the election
certificates was heard before Judge
Robert L. Stout, but he sustained it.
1t was then taken before the Court
of Appeals, which sustained the in
injunction. The proof before the
Court Of Appeals showed on its face
such irregularities in the election
tiat the Court refused to dissolve the
injunction. IS
The decision is the result of the
of the efforts of the Georgetown Civ
lie League, who employed Attorney
Victor A. Bradley to test the regu.
larity of the election.

mo CASCARET USER
EVERY HAS HEADACHE
A I0Cent Box Will Keep Your Liver.
Stomach and Bowels Clean, Pure
And Fresh For Months

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi-
ness, coated tongue, foul taste and
foul breath--always trace them to
torpid liver, delayed fermenting food
in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the
intestines, instead of being east out
Of the system is re-absOrbed into
the blood. When this poison reaches
the delicate brain tissue it causes
congestion and that dull, throbbing,
sickening headache.
Salts, cathartic pills, oil and pur-
gative waters force a passageway
for day or two-yes-but they
don't take the poisons out and have
no effect upon the liver or stomach.
Cascarets immediately cleanse and
regulate the stomach, remove the
sour, undigsted and fermer.ing food
and foul gases, take the excess bile
from the liver and carry out of the
system all the decomposed waste
matter and poisons in the intestine
and bowels.
"A Cascaret tonight will surely
stralghten You out by morning. They
work while you sleep-a 1O-cent box
from your druggist means inside
cleanliness and clear head for

When depressed with the apparent
