THE J. w. HURST CASE

The trial of the case against John
Wesley Hurst set for New Years
day, was interrupted by a motion of
his attorneys, Messrs. Zewadski and
Spencer, for a change of venue, al
leging in substance that the feeling
OF indignation against the defendant
in the neighborhood in which the
crime was committed is so violent
and the prejudice against him so
great that it would hardly be possible
for him to secure the fair and impair
tial trial such as the law of the state
guarantees to it's subjects.
number of witnesses were sum-
moned to testify to the seriousness
and extent of the prejudice against
the defendant so the court could de-
termine whether or not to grant or
deny the writ for the change of venue.
The court denied the writ and
quashed the venire, and ordered the
summoning of an entirely new jury
panel, the same TO be drawn from the
box, at the request of Sheriff Gallo
way who claims to be. and We be-
lieve is, entirely unprecedented in the
case.
The board of county commission
ers was in session all day Thursday,
drawing a list of three hundred
names to be placed in the jury box
for the year 1914. The work was
completed, and it is from this list of
new names that the jury was drawn,
and the trial of the case was set for
Monday, January 5,

BETTER THAN BEING UNITED
STATES SENATOR

The Jacksonville Metropolis says
that Hon. J. \. c. Stockton has re-
ceived word from Princeton Univer-
sity that his son there, Gilchrist B.
Stockton, has won the Cecil Rhodes
scholarship to Oxford for Florida.
This is the second son of Mr.. Stock
ton to win this honor for his state, as
the older brother of the young man
receiving the scholarship this year,
William, received the scholarship
some few years ago.
There have not been more than five
of the Rhodes scholarships awarded
to Florida young men, and that two of
them should go to brothers is a nota-
Bile evidence of fitness in the young
men.
To be the father of two such boys
is better than icing United States
senator.

'PERILs THAT REsET A PRINTER

We will give a years subscription
10 the Lake Region to anyone who
will find an issue of this paper free
from errors. Recently we printed an
article written by a good friend but
We made q mistake in reading his
writing. He declared it ruined the
whole article. AS we made forty-one
corrections in his punctuation, we feel
he owes us forty set-ups.
When one remembers that in an
ordinary column there are 10000
pieces OF type, then there are seven
wrong positions each letter may be
put in, and there are 10000 chances
to make errors, besides millions of
chances for transpositions, he will not
be too critical. In the sentence, ITO
be Or not to be-" by transportation
alone it is possible to make 2,759,022
errors. So you see the perils that be-
set the printer.
Hrere is some information that
doubtless brings surprise to the aver
age reader. The Eustas Lake Region
from which the paragraphs are taken
uses a monotype machine, thus each
character in the printed matter is an
number of transpositions referred to
may usually take place. On the limo
type machines, such as are used in the
Metropolis office, making the lines
as they go, takes away many Of the
chances for error in the make up of
the column, but yet there are thOus-
ands of mistakes that may be made

are bound to bes made in the handling
of some of the best-prepared manu-

newspaper proprietor likes TO see er-
rors in his paper and when he does
see them-as happens every single
day the publication is made-he feels
considerable more sorry than any
peered ontributor-Miami Metropo-
lis.
Besides while the linotyper works
he become a part of the machine. His
speed does not allow him to think
about the subject matter OF the copy,
and, therefore, one word is often mis-
taken for another. When setting up
the corrections on the proofs, all to
be done in a hurry, correction is
apt to be overlooked or misunder-

But those who understands this sub

as few errors as it does.-Lake
