defame Judge Ramsey because
Ramsey was chairman Of the
penitentiary board when the de-
cision was reached to build a
state railroad from Rpsk to

In Mckinney on the 10Th day
of May, 1906, Colquitt opened
his campaign for the governor

which was printed in the Dallas

building of this very railroad
from Rusk to Palestine in these
words: Plenty of avenues are
open for the states proper and
profitable employment Of her
convicts. They could be used
to build a railroad, for illustra-

the board that decided to carry
out this recommendation. and he

In 1906 in his opening speech
Colquitt prescribed the route,

dictated the kind of laborers to
be emplosed, and his recommen-
dations were carried out, and
then he turns on his friend and
mbasts him for compliance
with his recommendations.

The eyes of the civilized world will

railroad, which has been several years

many miles over water and connects
the various Florida keys which lie be-
tween the main land and the island of
Key West. The building of this road
will have place in the history of the
nations achievements one of the
most remarkable engineering featS of
the century. The great scheme orig
mated in the brain of Henry VI. Flag

money to pay for its accomplishment

SKELETON FOUND IN
CHESSAHOWITZKA SWAMP
Chastity Find of a Hunter in the Forests
Near HOmosassa
CCitrus County Cnronicle)

Doc McReynolds, who lives at Ho-
mosassa, while going through the
Chessahowitzka swamp last week
made a ghastly find. In the swamp
he ran upon skeleton of a man, but
whether white or colored is unknown
The corpse was dressed in an under
shirt and OverallS, but there was no
evidence of foul play, and it is sup
posed that deceased got lost and laid
down and died. No person has been
missed from that locality for several
years, which strengthens the theory
that he was a stranger and got lost.
1t is thought il has been a year since
the occurrence. Sheriff Carter was
notified and he went to the place. but
there was clue TO the identity of
the man or anything 10 show that he
had been murdered and left there The
sheriff has the skull at his home, and
everything possible Will be done to
find some clue both as TO Identity and
cause of death. Some thought deceas-
ed might have been an escaped con-
vict who died while attempting to
elude the officers. but no such instance
has occurred OF late years in this sec
ton, and the whole thing is enshroud-
ed in mystery.

that a hold-up had occurred was not
known until the train was about to
pull out of Redding, when it was no
ticed that no mail had been thrown
