minutes he succeeded, and then his
eyes shifted and fell With master
effort of his will he brought them
back to Davis and held them steady.
There the two of them sat as in a
duel the prisoners baleful eyes shoot
ing forth venom, hate, murder, while
in the others steady glance was pic
tured relentless Justice.
Of course, there could be but one
end to it. Powerful as was the will
in the drug-racked body. the twitch-
ing of the muscles, the involuntary
drawing up of the limbs and arms as
far as the bonds would permit, and
most of all the clasping and unclasp-
ing of the fingers told what torture
the silence was bringing to Young.
He burst forth at last in a wild
flow of profanity, cursing Davis, ours
ing me, .cursing everything, cursing
God, and still Davis sat there as rigid
and as silent as the superior of a
Trappist monastery doing penance.
At times the prisoners voice was

IRISH POTATOES ARE A GOOD
CROP FOR THIS COUNTRY

This county is in the Irish Potato
business to stay. Within one
hundred days from now potatoes
will be moving from this county in
such quantities as will resemble
fall marketing time. There is no
reason why we should not get on
the market early with a larger
yield than can be grown-in Florida.
The present indications are that
the prices will be good if the
market is reached early enough.
Every man should give his potatoes
special attention and make the
largest yield possible this year.
The greatest hindrsnce with
which the truck growers here have
met was unfamiliarity with the
markets. Many have shipped to
small and unreliable commission
men in untried markets fer the first
time. which resulted in injury
and sometime ruin to the business.
However, it is believed that ar
rangements can be made for a local
market this year that will be en-
tirely satisfactory. -Prentiss Head

A PUBLIC CHARITY BOARD
Would be a Good Thing and Dsssv-
ing Would Always Get Proper
Assistance.

Mayor Heuck is going to make a
move in the right direction before
the Board of Aldermen shortly.
Mr.. Heuck does not claim the idea
as original. but he is going to en-
deavor to get a Board of Public
Charities organized.
10 short the idea is to have
yearly contributions solicited from
all the business firms who are con-
stantly called upon to contribute to
all kinds Of propositions. After
this is done and fund secured a
committee will examine the Just
ness of all who seek charity, these
parties being referred by the gen.
eral business people to the commit
tee when asked to help financially
for any cause.
1t WIS somewhat of a coincidence
while the Mayor was talking to a
reporter on the street on the sub
ject of charity, that a young
darkey came up and asked for
help to help a pore boy who could
not help his SELF" A little ques-
