Straw Hats in Tampa

About the end of July, this
fishstorian went into Punta Cor
da store and bought $500 straw
hat for fifty cents.
Week before last, he went over
TO Tampa and the Franklin street
gates of the Atlantic Coast Line
and a flood of rainfall greatly
disfgured it. Last Saturday, he
called on all the Franklin street
stores in Tampa for a new hat.
They had nothing for less than a
dollar. According to the sales
men there had never been a mans
straw hat in Tampa for less than
80. so to $4,000. The cheapest of
those they were offering for one
dollar cost them exactly 1925.
The scribe thought he could get
q $4.0O straw hat for 25c., which
was all the money he had, but he
was sadly disappointed. He re-
fused to buy, because he didn't
have the cash and the season for
fur hats was only thirty days dis
tant.
The moral of this story is that
Punta Gorda folks should buy
their straw hats and other things
in Punta Gorda, where they can
get them on credit and maybe new
er have to pay for them.
Say, our old friend Shirley,
formerly of King and Shirley,
was one of the seducers that tried
to convince us that bis dollar hat
was worth SO. so and would make
the wearer look like Brit
ish lord or an East Indian nabob.

Anenf Gilchrisf

Gilchrist, is now considered an an
bounced candidate for United
States Senator, some of the follow
ing comment may seem a little be-
lated, but it is pertinent to matter
that is of general interest and bids
fair to become more interesting:
"Some paper in Florida has
said that one Albert w. Gilchrist
will be a candidate for the United
States Senate. Who is this man
Gilchrist?"
Editor of The Sun: / clipped
the above article from The Miami
Herald a few days ago and will APP
preciate it If you will publish my
reply to same. The writer has
known Albert w. Gilchrist for
twenty years-long before he as
pired to political fame, a more
honorable, upright, big-heated
gentleman, l have never known,
/ watched his career in the House
of Representatives, and during the
four years he served as Governor
of the State of Florida, and |
think he made good. | did not
always side with him and did not
admire many things he did, but |
certainly think that Florida has q
right to be proud that Albert w.
GiIchrist is one of her citizens.
He has hundreds of friends all
over this fair State whether they
vote to make him United States
Senator or not. An old friend of
Albert w. Gilchrist in Gaines
vile Sun.
The Miami Herald is the sue
cessor of the Miami News-Record
and doubtless has the files of that
paper. If it will refer to the is
sues of the first six months of
1908, it will be enlightened about
this man Gilchrist who is spoken
of for United States Senator and
about whom it is so densely ignor-
ant.
In further answering the Miami
Herald, ''M. r." in the Mulberry
Herald says:
Albert w. Gilchrlst is at pres
ent a private citizen. residing in
his home town of Punta Gorda,
to his private affairs and
enjoying the esteem and respect
of his neiohbors and his fellow
citizens Of DeSoto county. For
two terms he has held the exalted |
Office of Grand Master of the +. |
& A. M. of the State of Florida.
And furthermore, is the esteem
ed editor a late arrival or endow-
ed with very short memory that |
it is necessary to inform him that
Albert w. Gilchrist was but lately
the Governor of this state, that his
administration is conceded both at
home and in the Union as one of
the best the state of Florida has
had!
Many good laws passed during
his term had their being in his
messages to the legislature, many
drastic and obnoxious bills suffer-
ed defeat through his unsparlng
use of the veto power. Ever
watchful for the best interests of
the state, he devoted his time and
high energy to the duties of his
Office even to the smallest detail.
AS COMMANDMENTS chief of the
state militia he lent his presence
to its state encampment and gave
it q standing and dignity not en-
joyed before but so necessary to
this branch of a civil government.
Although not a lawyer, his pro-
posals to reform and simplify our
judicial procedure in court cases
would have done credit to the

 THE PROBATE COURT.
Discussed at Annual Assembly al
 Hartford on Wednesday.


 Hartford on Wednesday.
 In the annual meetin of the Con- necticut probate assembly at Hartford on Wednesday the legislative commit tee of the association made a report through Judge Marvin on the bills that have been introduced into tho general assembly affecting the probate court One of the most important amend ments requested to an existing law provides that creditors outside the state are to be given the same length of time as is given crditors within the state. having claims against AR estate.
 When does a will become a public document ?" was spiritedly discussed filed for probate it becomes in reality a matter of public record.
 News When 1t Is News.
 Judge Baxter. who is at the same time editor of the Naugatuck Daily News, warmly championed the cause of the newspaper fratrenity He said the people looked to the newspapers to get the news when it was news, and he felt that the probate court should give out the facts as soon as they became public property legally The matter was referred to the legisla- tive committee to take such action as they see fit regarding the bill now be- fore the general assembly to the effect That when will is approved and admitted to probate or an inventory lodged with the court. said bill or in ventory shall be considered public doc uments and accessible to public in spection during the usual business hours of the court.
 The subject of the establishment of a juvenile court was thoroughly dis cussed. One bill which has been introduced in the general assembly places the entire Jurisdiction over de- linQuent juveniles in the hands of the probate court. The opinion general ly expressed was that the establish ment of juvenile court work was step in the right direction, but Senti- uent was divided as to the adviSibili- ty of adding this duty to the work al- ready done by the probate court. The whole subject was referred to the leg islative committee to consider, and present to the special committee of the general assembly having charge of these bills.
