pecially with a view to the purchasing
Of supplies. The board will receive
bids now shortly for the supplies to be
bought for the asylum and the in
mates. There are now about twelve
hundred of these unfortunates in the
institution and the care of so many
insane people requires a large plant
and a large annual expenditure Of
money.
Mr.. Ernest e. McLin, eldest son OF
the late commissioner OF agriculture,
is In the city on a visit to his father s
family and also on business for the
company he is with.
Mr.. NJ. A. Brown, formerly private
secretary to Governor Broward dur
ing the early part Of his administra-
ton, and who now resides in jack
sonville was among the prominent
visitors at the capitol today.
Mr.. N. A. Barco. of Inverness,
Florida, is at the capitol today on
business with the internal improve
ment trustees. Mr.. Barco is one OF
the land inspectors for the trustees.
When a request is made for the board
to set a price on a tract of land with
view to sale, it is the policy Of the
board to send one Of their inspectors

the tract to ascertain its full value
before making sale.
Mr.. Julius Ball, for years a resi-
dent of Tallahassee, and proprietor of
the old Bloxham hotel, died in this

ment.

A party Of prominent citizens from
Wakulla county came up yesterday
afternoon and appeared before the
railroad commission, asking for spec
ial rates to be permitted on a pro-
posed railway from Sopchoppy TO
Panacea Springs, a distance of six
miles. 1t is a matter of much interest
to the people of this section and the
tier of southern Georgia and Alabama
counties. Panacea Springs is a sum-
mer health resort held in high esteem
by a large number of people in this
section who spend a portion of the
summer there. The transportation IA
cilities from the G. F. & A. railway
out to the springs have been so very
poor of late years that many people
have had to abandon the trip there
The new railway will be good news to
them.
