Finally Talks.

ID. B. Hampton the wealthy
Winchester banker who was fin
ed $50 daily and remanded to
Jail for failure to disclose the
names of persons to whom he had
furnished money in the August
primary, has been set free. Mr..
Hampton refused to do this for
the protection of the ones whom
he had furnished money, not
himself. These men realizing
MIR. Hampton's embarrassed sit
uation. agreed that he might
give them away rather than he
be compelled to stay in jail in
definitely. Mr.. Hampton then
gave the grand jury their names,
whereupon they were indicted
and fined $50 90 each, and Mr..
Hampton paid their fines. Mr..
Hampton was firm in his refusal
to dlshonorably betray any con-
tidence reposed in lin, and
Judge Benton was as equally firm
in his determination to find out
the guilty brlbe takers. The ma.
ny friends of both gentlemen
will be pleased to learn that the
unfortunate affair has been set
tied.

Double Killing In Clark.

While returning from church
at Oorinth, Clark county, Ellis
Brandenburg and wife met Ben
White and Charles Holland, cou-
sins, who had attended services
at Elbethel. Brandenburg took
Eofense, it, is said, because the
men going in the opposite direc-
tisn failed, he thought, TO give
enough of the road. Hollands
hat blew off, when he alighted
from the buggy and started back
to get it. Brandenburg evident
ly thought Holland was coming
for him, and thus opened fire and
shot Ben White in the lower re-
gions of the stomach. Holland
and White returned the fire, and
shot Brandenburg in the head
and lungs when he died instant
ly. White was hurried to a hos.
pital at Lexington where he was
operated on, but died Monday af-
ter the operation.

The writer wishes to assure the
Wine hester Democrat and the host
of friends of J. w, Chambers of
Winchester that he had no thought
of insinuating against his Alabama
land. Rather was he trying TO
speak a good word for him. From
the last part of the item about Mr..
Chambers, the writer now readily
sees how one could draw such
conclusion. But he did not mean
il that way. He was unfortunate
in wording the item wrong when he
meant to boost Mr.. Chambers. The
writer's thought was that everybody
should look at land before buying.
1t is good business to do that AL
ways. But we do know that there
is some very rich and valuable land
in Alabama. The time is soon com
ing when the southland is going to
be one of the greatest sections OF
our country. 1t is progressing bv

"At the hearing of the l.. & N.

would not be an excessive value
to put on the tangible property
of the road and that $40, 00O, 900
would not be excessive as an in

''Such an assessment will bring
the value of the property up to
10000, 900 but for 1911 the as

eighty per cent. of the value, be-

FLORIDA is RECEIVING
DESIRABLE PUBLICITY
New York Correspondent Of Cincin-
natl Enquirer Writes About
the State

That Florida is receiving much
desirable publicity and boosting in
various sections of the country is
evident from the following from
the pen of the New York cores
pondent Of the Cincinnati Enquir-
er, which appeared in the Ohio
paper of a recent date:
81 have met number of the
active business men of Florida in
New York this week and it amaz-
es me to listen to the story they
tell of Florida's progress in every
form of business.
''Fruits, vegetables, cotton, corn,
shipments of fish, timber, phos-
phate, tobacco, cigars--the trade
in all these is said to be very
much enlarged, as compared with
former years, while never in the
history of the state has SO many
new settlers come in as during
the last past twelve months.
1.-THE agricultural districts of
the state are improving wonder
fully and the prices of lands keep
steadily advancing.
s'All the cities of the state are
showing large gains in population,
with constantly expanding busin-
ess, while the railways are max
ing new records in receipts.
These gentlemen are of the
opinion that the coming years
will completely transform the
business of Florida and make it a
power in the trade of the Panama
canal, through it's fine harbors and
its short lines of transportation
from the gulf to the North"
