vious to that purchase and at the
time the road defaulted, Governor
Drew tried to collect the debt by
force of arms. He ordered out
the militia and seized the road,
but what came of his action we
cannot remember.
We wish Col. Frank Harris, OF
the Ocala Banner, or some other
capable gentleman whose memory
is good, would publish detailed
account of the incidents mentioned
above with u view to throwing
some light on the question of
whether it is yet possible for the
state to collect that big debt.

THURSDAY, FEB. 10, 1913

Judge S. A. Murden, the lively
and able editor of the Modello
Tropical Topics, is making war on
the cider sold in his locality. He
says that its effects on drinkers
are worse than those produced by
blind tiger whiskey. 1t is the
opinion of many that much of the
so-called cider is simply a chemi-
cal compound. Even pure apple
cider often developes more alcohol
than is contained in lager beer.
The State Chemist has analysed a
great deal of it and found some of
it to contain over seven per cent.
of alcohol. Beer contains less
than five per cent.

A Big Debt Forgotten

Somebody honestly owes the
state of Florida one million dol
lars with interest for thirty years;
and If Governor Trammell can and
will collect it, he will deserve more
credit than Governor Jennings,
and our members of congress de-
served for collecting the Indian
war claims.
Many people remember the sale
Of 100000, acres of state lands
to Hamilton Disston for $1,000,
900, which was made by Governor
Bloxham, but not very many can
recall the reason for making the
sale. 1t was for the purpose of
paying the Vose claim of $1,000,
COG, which arose from the state
having endorsed and guaranteed
the interest an a large amount Of
bonds issued for building a rail
road in the upper part of the state
east and west from Live Oak. At
the time. what is now the Sea-
board railway from River juno
ton to Jacksonville consisted of
two or three different railroads,
and we do not recollect which one
of them issued the bonds. But
tho road defaulted and the state.
paid the bill in the sum named.
It follows that the road whose
debt the state assumed and paid,
honestly owes the state that mil
lion dollars with interest from the
time Of the Disston purchase. We
have a faint recollection that, pre-

His Faith Attacked

Senator F. M. Cooper is being

cause he has published notice OF
his intention to introduce in the
legislature bills looking TO divis.
ion of DeSoto county. 1t is charg-
ed that in so doing, he has ignor-
ed the platform on which he won
in the primaries, that platform
being, as he expressed it, ''the
will of the people. :"
Now, before condemning him, it
would be well to inquire to what
people does he refer in this matter
of county division? Does the
term, "the people," apply only to
those who liye in and around Ar
cadia? The HERALD takes it
that, in this instance, it refers and
applies to those whose interests
and rights will be most affected by
division, viz: the citizens of the
proposed new counties. The pro-
position will be submitted to them,
as in the Pinellas case, and their
will as expressed at the polls will
be duly regarded by Sedator
Cooper in observance of his plat
form.
Viewed in this light, we submit
is the correct one, he cannot be
justly charged with breach of
faith.
Besides, he represents Manatee
as we'll as DeSoto; and if Arcadia
is entitled to vote on the pending
natter, Manatee county should al
10 be allowed to vote on it, as the
,reation of the proposed new coun-
les would necessitate a change in
he senatorial district, In which
Manatee is interested.
In addition and paramount to

IN the fight that was made on him,

the report will serve to show its
value.
During the year ending Dec.
31st, 1912, inspection stamps (25c.

commercial fertilizers and cotton
seed meal were sold, bringing in a

revenue amounting to S31 464. 81.
The total revenue fromthesesources
aggregated $50, S20.55. Deduct
from this the expenses of the

which were SIS, 257.41, and there
remains a net balance of ISL, 1868.

This was q net increase of S12, 124.
"A over stamp tax receipts for 1911.
The above figures indicate the
immensely of the feed and fertili-
ger business and show that it is
growing rapidly. And the stamp
tax is not burden on any one,
neither on the manufacturer nor
the consumer.
The expenses of the chemical
division include the saleries of the
State Chemist, his three assist
ants, one clerk and two inspectors,
travelling expenses, samples bought
by the inspectors, supplies for the
laboratory, and etc.
The figures on stock feed do not
include corn, oats, hay and some
other feeds, vast quantities of
which were imported and consum-
ed. The value of the feeds pay
ing stamp tax is placed by Capt.
Rose at an average of $50. 90 a ton
which gives total of $3,775, $3.50
which the people of Florida paid
in 1912 for stock feed other
5han corn, oats and hay. Capt.
Rose rightly deplores the fac
hat our people do not take ad-
yantage of their many resources
md facilities for raising their own
eeding stuffs.
During the year, 1856 official, "a
pecial samples of feeding stuffs
we're analysed; also, 145 official

ers and 1875 official food and

Dorsey Studying
Demand of Conley
For an Early Trial

Solicitor General Dorsey Saturday
is looking over the demand for an i'm
mediate trial for Jim Conley which
Attorney w. NJ. Smith informally gave
to him Friday Just what action he
will take in the matter has not been
intimated by the Solicitor, who states
that he has not had time in which to
consider the demand.
Assurance that his CLIENT will be
given a trial at the present term or
have the first call on the term to fol
low this enc is all that Attorney Smith
declares he wants. He conferred with
both Judge Ben II. Hill and Solicitor
Dorsey Friday, and made the state
ment that he had been assured no
technicality would be taken advan-
tage of to prevent the negro from OBJ
tanning an early hearing.
The demand which he expects to
file Monday, unless given absolute as
surance that the negro will be given
a trial during the present term. will
cite the fact that many prisoners ar
rested several months after Conley
have already been given trials: that

is charged has already been tried and
convicted, and there is no reason for a

Attorney Declares Morse Was
Really Suffering From Bright's
Disease When Released.

THE real reason for Morse's par
don was that he was afflicted with
Bright's disease, and it was abso-
lutely certain that under the physical
and mental conditions of prison life he
could have lived only short time. He
still suffers from the disease, because
it is incurable, hut changed condt-
lions and rigid observance of medical
prescriptions and diet have kept him
alive thus far, and, L understand, with
some show of health"
Colonel Thomas b. Fielder, prom
inent Atlanta attorney, in the above
statement Saturday denied the
charges reported through New York
papers that he had brought improper
influences to bear to seek the release
of Charles Morse, the banker, from
the Federal Prison here.
According to the reports, Colonel
Fielder was charged with having told
President Taft or the Attorney Cen
eral that unless Morse was pardoned
some other men higher up" would be
implicated.
Il said, however" stated Colonel
Fielder, that Morse had been con-
victed on technical violation OF the
banking laws very common among
bankers in New York, and, In fact, all
over the country"

man, near Jersey, and who had been
out of the changing just a few
weeks, was last night swung to limb
Of a tree in Buncombe District, three

riddled with bullets.

young women of the household. One
of the young women grabbed a gun
and fired at Boyce three times, but
missed him. In his haste to get away
Boyce left his shoes, and they were
the means of leading to his identity.
1t is not known here when Boyce was
cuaght, but the belief is that he was
held in custody by the mob for some
hours after nightfall.
This makes the third lynching in

Well, it's good bye tango and bunny

First of all, Mrs. Winsborough is

what remains for it to do.
But she was led slightly afleld Sat-

to the stern ban placed by the Geor.

EMPTY STOCKING FUND
CROWS AS ALL ATLANTA
REALIZES RELATIONSHIP

Wei. the Empty Stocking Fund
Keeps on growing, and the Christmas
Editor Of The Georgian opens a pile
Of mail every morning. and some of 1t
makes him smile, and some of 1t
makes him-well, makes him not
smile, but pull very hard for the other
Kind of mail. the kind with the checks,
10 come in very strong.
People write in the most bracing
letters you ever read. They furnish
great big mountain of evidence that
the world is NOT growing cold; that
sentiment is NOT dead--or even
sleeping; that childhood Is NOT friend
less even if it lives skimpily on the
seamy side of things.
There is, or at any rate there used
70 be. an old city in Spain where on
Christmas morning all the little or
phans, and all the little foundlings
in the various charitable homes were
taught to run about the streets and
greet every busy and happy and
prosperous man or woman they met
With glad cries of Merry christmas,
Father" Merry Christmas, Moth
er!"
That was q very pretty old Gus
tom. and it called down gifts on the
unfortunate little chaps.
But It did something more.
It taught a certain sense of rela-
tionship set forth In an old, old Book,
between the rich and the poor.
1t was a sort of claim day on that
klnship.
And so the Empty Stocking Fund
brings together on the Christmas
Editors desk a wealth OF love from
the well-off people and wealth of
claims from the needy.
So in the one pile the Christmas
Editor finds brief letters, maybe in
the curt gruff form of business cor
respondence that barely masks the
them.
Enclosed find my check for SIS for
the Empty Stocking Fund"
Brief? Curt? Gruff?
All of that
But it means that 25 empty stock
ings will be filled to the brim. 1t
means that 20 little hearts will jump,
and 50 big eyes be bright, and so lit
lie feet will dance and skip for joy,
on Christmas morning.
SO you would conclude, like the
Christmas Editor, that the sender of
that check, being a good business
man, knew how to BUY the most for
his money-and that being a big
hearted, kindly man. he sent far more
in that letter than it's brief wording,
or even its welcome check, conveyed.

Of the City Health Department, who
had met him at meetings of the

He is a modest man, though last
year he delivered 450 lectures on the
subject of sex hygiene and on account
of having obtained six months leave
of absence from Northwestern Uni
versity. he will deliver a greater
number of lectures this year
In an interview he explained the

respect.
Chief Beavers is known all over
the country for his work here, and
among scientists the plan is recog-
nized as by far the best from the
standpoint of police regulation.
The other means is education, and
that is the part with which am iden-
