That South Florida Is destined to

orally supposed. ut was not only q
frost, but q freeze something like,
the famous freeze you had in the
northern part Of Florida In 1896
Thousands Of trees have not yet

marks of desolation on every side In

gained.

are going to gain within the next de-

The Ocala Banner has assembled
a large number Of instances to show
that the world is better and decenter
now despite the slit skirt and a few
other things than In the good old
days we read about. To its list the
Banner might add the fact that last
Sunday q Chicago minister stated
from his pulpit in proof that the
world is getting better that II David
or Solomon were alive today and
conducted themselves as they did
while on earth they would not be ad-
mitted into membership with any

SAYS SENATOR MARITIME
Auditor Dent Insists Normal Annual
Income Is Less
Than $4,000.

A resolution directing the Attorney
General to report to the Senate the re-
ceipts and disbursements of all moneys
received by the auditor for the District
supreme Court. Louis A Dent, in the
conduct OF his Office was passed with
out a dissenting vote in the Senate late
yesterday afternoon just before ad-
Journment was taken for the Christ
mas holidays. Senator MARITIME of New
Jersey. who introduced the resolution,
said today regarding the measure:
Il understand that the auditor for
the District Supreme Court is paid only
in fees which are given him for serv-
ices similar to those of a master in
chancery. 1 am informed also that
these fees in single year amount to
an inordinate sum, about $4,000 If
the people of the District are paying
this official too much for his services
during a single year we should know
OF 1t, and he should be given fair and
adequate salary. Up in New Jersey we
have done away with the fee system en-
tirely. and l think that the District of

Suggestion as to Salary.
Senator MARITIME said that he was un-
able to suggest just what salary should
be given to the auditor for the District
Supreme Court.
THAT is a matter which will have to
be decided by the House and Senate after
consideration by committees said Sena-
tor MARITIME. 1t was suggested, however,
that the salary might be set at $500 or
5000 year.
The resolution was passed by the SEN
ate during an executive session yesterday
and without debate other than brief ex-
PLANTATION by Senator MARITIME. The At
torney General is directed to report to
the Senate transmitting all data under
oath, not later than January II, 1914.
Mr.. Dent was appointed auditor for the
District Supreme Court four years ago.
He succeeded Col. Payne, who had been
auditor for the court for some thirty
