That railroad management is truly
wise which has the vision to see that
constantly and intelligently working
to increase the agencies which make
more freight and passengers to be
transported is as much the business
Of the management as the trans
portation itself. Hence We congrat-
ulate the land and Industrial de-
partment of the Florida East Coast
railroad company upon it's admirable
pamphlet, Live Stock Farming in
Florida" which sets forth with con-
vincing facts and figures the rare
advantages of this State fol growing
cattle and other livestock. Florida's
destiny lies in that direction not less
than in trucking, and citrus fruit
growing, and our people are slowly
waking up to the fact. We are to
have our cattle kings as we'll as
Texas and Nebraska. And some of
these days We will have our pack
ing houses.

Senator Fletcher is certainly on
the right track, in his effort to es-
tablish an American merchant ma
rine, and he says truly that the
solution Of the South's cotton prob
lem is largely a question CT trans
portation to foreign markets. Even
in the warning countries those
markets are calling for our cotton
right now and quick transportation
is the only obstacle. We have read
quantities of literature on the sub
ject for years past, but for all that
We have. never been able to under
stand why country as rich and
progressive as ours, full of capital
seeking investment and with plenty
of men of enterprise and executive
ability, is so nearly without a mer-
chant marine that the few ships we
have under the American flag only
emphasize our poverty in that re-
spect. We have prodigious guam
titles of stuff to ship abroad and
prodigious quantities to receive in
return, and yet nearly ell of it
goes in foreign bottoms. There Ia
"a niger in the wood pile" some
where and our craftsmanship ought
to be ashamed Of itself that during
these last forty years the greatest
nation in the world, bounded by
both oceans and the gulf, has been
compelled to rely on foreign ships
to transport it's merchandise. We
hope that Senator Fletcher will be
able to arouse public sentiment
that will change the existing state
Of affairs. There Is no better place
in the world to build ships than in
our gulf ports with inexhaustible
quantities Of timber back Of them /.
Drag the niger out of the woodpile
and let us build our own ships.

we were all in my front room when Country came in. I asked him how he felt and he replied that he still had the blues. Country had been married and was separated from his wife and I knew that he was mixed up with some woman from Atlanta and this was causing him a lot of worry.

 WEAPON 0N SELF
Mrs. Anderson Shot Twice Near Terminal Station. Lathem Has Bullet
 in Breast

In a sensational shooting affair at Sixth avenue, north, and Twenty-sixth street, immediately in front of the Terminal sta- ton. yesterday afternoon about o'clock, Mrs Julie Anderson of Alabama City was shot twice in the back by Will Lathem, 2 newsletter, who also fired bullet into his breast when he saw the futility of escape. Neither Mrs. Anderson nor La them is fatally injured.
 Jealousy is said to have been the prime motive of the shooting. According to William M. Burge, former city detec- tive, who was standing within few feet of Lathem when the shooting started, the couple were having words when he heard a scuffle and looking towards Lathem he saw him with a pistol in his hand shoot ing at Mrs Anderson, who was running. Mrs Anderson ran into the back Of a Gate City car, through to the front end and on coming out was again shot by Ia- them, who in all fired three shots before he started to run away. He had run but few feet when, seeing MT Burge close behind him, he turned and, placing the pistol against his heart, fired his last shot and then toppIed over in a heap. The whole shooting affair happened on one of the runways leading to the Ter minal station and was witnessed by a large crowd. The shooting was done with a .32-calibre 'fU. S." pistol
 pr. F. H. May, who happened to be passing in his automobile, at once picked up Mrs. Anderson and removed her to Dr. Talley's infirmary. where it is stated that she has bullet in her lung and is in serious condition. Shaws ambu- lance removed Lathem to St. Vincent 8 hospital. where. after an operation, he was removed to the Southside jail hos pital on a charge of assault with intent to murder. He is not seriously injured and will recover. Officers know nothing of either Lathem or Mrs. Anderson,

ANOTHER PROTEST / AGAINST THE DUMP w. T. Kemp Thinks It False Economy to Allow the
 Place to Exist

To the Editor Of The Age Herald.
 I want to substantiate what has been said against the objectionable garbage three blocks of this breeding place of flies. mosquitoes and malaria and have been living here for il years. Of late there have been numerous cases of ma laria, chills and fever in this neighbor- hood and I believe 1t Is mainly attribu- table to this dump.
 Why swat the fly when millions arc bred almost In your backyard by decay ing vegetables and animal natter If tho fly is a hamburger of disease. and we believe that it is, there are enough flies to scatter disease for several blocks around this place. If decaying animal and vegetable matter is unhealthfu and in- sanitary. leaving out the disagreeable odor, this dump is enough to cause sick ness and death in this community
 Why enforce the ordinance to buy garbage covered can. to deposit small amount of garbage in tand that Is right and properl. and then dump 1t in tho open in wagon loads almost at your door where you live. sleep and eat. to breed sickness and deathe Talk about poverty Say the city is not able to build crematory2 What is a few paltry dollars compared to the lives of our citizens The main asset to a city is the health of It's citizens. This talk of the dump as a dump is all right must be lodging the main issue. A dump as dump may be all right; so Is cof- fin as coffin all right, and We don't want either as long as we can avoid it.
 have personally visited this ideal dump and found dead animals, decaying vege- tables of every description. swil. etc, in all stages of decomposition. emitting foul odors, with swarms of flies buzzing by the thousands and thousands
 Then. there is another thing, which has not been mentioned, and that Is: This dump is in very low. marshy or swampy place and when 1t rains it washes in and around and over 1t and leaves it wet and damp, which makes it even worse than the ordinary dump. I am writing this as a citizen of West End, who wants to help to get rid Of this nuisance and hope tho officials will do us the justice to act and help our good women in this fight for humanity and right.

He also made few orders in pending cases.
 Judge Clayton was introduced to the several court officials by Maj. Charles A. Allison and pleasant greetings were exchanged.

Law for General Amendment Will Probably Be Passed
 at Coming Session
JEFFERSON WILL
 NOT GET RELIEF
Extra Session Prior to November Election Is Only Chance to Get Change for Four
 Years
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Jefferson's pioneer campaign against the fee system as a basis of remunera- ton for county officials. is bearing fruit. in it's next regular session, in obedience to the insistence of more than half the other counties of the state, will submit general amendment providing for the abolition of the fee system for the coun- ties a whole.
 Jefferson county made it's fight against the fee system because the princely wage to be gained by successful candidates for office tempted them unduly to de- bauch the electorate, and for the other and perhaps greater. reason that fees to be gained prompted interruptions officials to carry petty warfare of arrests against comparatively negative violators of the law. Other counties of the state, with the possible exception of Montgom- cry and Mobile, desire the fee system abolished for the reason that they would pay their officials more than they can be paid through the collection of fees.
 In several of the counties of the state the sheriff is able to collect annually in fees less than S1200. In the majority of counties, 1t is estimated that the sheriff receives less than $l50o per annum. These little counties where the number of ar rests is unusually small, are imbued with a healthy idea of better remunerating their officials. As d result, against the fee system which is everywhere termed iniquitous, the people are raising their hands. From evidence of the present there seems to be little doubt but that the system will have to yield before the march of progress.
 If a general amendment is submitted and favorably voted upon by tho peo- pie, it Is safe to predict that a comnlit- tee composed of members of the upper and lower house will prepare schedule of wages to be paid Inasmuoh as the indications are that the fee system will continue to hold good in Jefferson on ac- count of no special session of the legis- lature, 1t is probable that local legislators and others interested will abandon ti1e1r plan of preparing a bill setting out the salaries which shall be paid in Jeffer- son. Therefore, the salaries of Jefferson county officials of the future will prob ably be settled by a commission which shall act for every county of the state
 Constitutional lawyers are practically agreed that unless a special session of the legislature is convened prior to the date of the election in November of the sheriff of Jefferson, the amendment fav- orably voted upon by the people of the state will not be entirely effective prior to the passage of another four years
 Jefferson's efforts to secure a special session for this and other necessary causes will in all probability, prove futile.
