suggestions which are the logical cX-
tension of the governors recOmmen-

the right to amend their own char

ture about the matter. II city cOun-
ellis may thus have enlarged powers
in the matter OF city legislation.
why may not the hoard of county
commissioners have corresponding
enlargement of their powers in cOun-
ty matters? 1t seems as fair and
reasonable for one as for the other.

In the name OF all our citizens the
Telegram extends cordial welcome
to the delegates to the annual con-
vention of the State Federation of
Labor. which meets in this city to-
day. Lakeland is a hOspitable city,
always glad to entertain good peo-

ration is steadily growing in this
State as is the cause of organized
labor everywhere. and the educated
intelligence Of its individual mem

the phenomenal growth OF the or

rected intelligence lies the guaran-
tee of its future and its increasing
fitness to promote and safeguard the
rights and interests of the working
men of the country. May the SEES

pleasant and profitable, and may
each delegate carry back with him
to his home such memories OF Oul

terrorized Paris for months to the
guillotine.
Soudy, 81 years old, the youngest
of the three, received the death pen
atty first, and as his hands and feet
were bound and his head was placed
on the block, he smiled at the
guards and said: ''It's a cold good
bye, friends"
The knife descended. His head
dropped into the sawdust-filled
basket at exactly 4:30 a. m. ...
The next victim was Callemin, %
years old, who, by his confession,
saved the life of the condemned
Dieudonne. He was the most indif-
ferent of the three and did not speak
word as he was prepared for death.
His head dropped into the basket just
one minute after that of Soudy.
Monier, "a years old, was the last.
He was very pale and his teeth were
chattering, though he tried to remain
calm. Goodbye, friends" he said,
and the great knife cleaved the air
with a swish of triumph and dropped
his head into the sawdust. 1t was

as farmland, confessed that he kill
ed Mrs. Sleep and her two children,
Orville, 2, and Sarah, 8, and threw.

The boy, who is abnormal mental

Monday and Mrs. Sleep asked him if
he wanted anything to eat. Without
answering, he drew a gun from his
pocket and shot her.
Mrs. Sleep ran and Copies fired
several bullets before she dropped.
He then dragged her body to the cis-
tern and threw it in, after which he
went out in the yard, got an axe,
came back into the kitchen and
crushed in the skulls of the two chill

Their bodies he also threw in the
