w. H. McCart of Covington, Ca,
feels better now; he can live in the
home of his boyhood. Forty-five
years ago he killed a man named
Monroe Smith for insulting his moth
er. "If l had my life to live over l
would do the same thing" said he.
"He insulted my mother and would
have killed me had | not shot first"
After the killing in July, 1870, Nc
Cart left for the far west where he
became preacher and acquired
conscience. This conscience began to
trouble him, and two weeks ago he
returned to Covington and gave him
self up. He was tried last week and
on Friday was acquitted by jury of
his peers, who, if prejudiccd at all,
must have been prejudiced in favor
of the prOdigal, who is now past sixty
years of age.

The Auto and Hard Roads

Starke Telegraph: Orlando is the
automobile city of America, or at
least of Florida, having one auto for
every fourteen persons, and Orange
county as a whole has one for every
thirty-two persons. The natural con-
sequence is that Orange county is
gridironed over with good roads. AS
soon as man becomes the owner of
an automibile he becomes a good
roads apostle The auto, on account
of its fast gait, requires better road
than the slow going horse vehicles
can put up with, and after a good road
has been built on the instigation of
the auto owners, the users of horse
drawn vehicles, wonder how they could
get along with poor roads as long as
they have.

The Florida Chiropractcrs have
formed an association for the ad-
vancement of science! Great heav-
ings! What next? There are pos
sibly a dozen of these fakirs, called
chiropractors, doing business in Flor
idc. And what is their business :?
Simply to relieve you of your money.
These fakirs advertise to cure you
of insanity, locomotor atGXia, cancer,
jaundice, palsy, paralysis, piles, pips,
ETC., by removing the cause. Some
thing is surely wrong with the laws
of Florida when these fakirs are per-
mitted to advance the science of
swinGling the poor and ignorant with
out molestation. One of these fckirs
says that all sickness is caused by
"subluxations in your spinal column;
that you are not tc get discouraged

The Prince farm of over three hun
dred acres near Moultrie, in St. Johns
county. is according to splendid
description of it in the St. Augustine
Record, one of the show places of
Florida, and a splendid demonstra-
ton of what Florida soil will produce
when titled with brains and energy.
There are thousands of orange, pc
can, pear and persimmon trees grow
ing in artistic array, with acres Of
peas and potatoes, peanuts and mel
ons. an immense vineyard laden with
rich clusters of grapes, clover and al
falfa, fat hogs, fine chickens and
MANY colonies of busy bees. After
describing the crops in detail the Rec
ord SAYS: Nothing will be allowed to
90 to waste on this estate. Every
square foot of it will be made to pro-
duce. Up to the present time fine
stream of fresh water, which has been
flowing across the farm, has been al
lowed to 90 to waste into Moultrie
creek. At the outlet there is a large
hollow place, forming natural res
ervoir. This has not escaped the eye
of Mr.. Prince, and dam is to be built
and instead of running to waste, the
water will be utilized and will be
pumped all over the farm for irriga-
tion purposes ."-Times-Union Short

Senator Conrad of Volusia county
whose death occurred some two weeks
ago and whose will was filed for pro-
bate last Monday, left an estate esti-
mated to be worth more than a mill
ion dollars. Senator Conrad came
from New York to Florida a poor boy
and amassed his wealth by legitimate
business methods. He began work IN
a saw mill as a laborer; he wound up
by owning the sawmill-several Of
them-and stock in a number of the
best banks and business enterprises Of
his adopted state. Wait a moment,
young man; you say you haven't
been given a fair opportunity in life;
that Florida is shy of opportunities.
Remember Jacob B. Conrad; he didn't
have any pull, but he had ambition
and was willing to work. He had
only a common school education, but
he made himself a master of the bus
mess of his employer; he made his
employers interests his interests; he
wasn't afraid to do a full days work;
he wasn't afraid to do 50 worth of
work for S1.50. There are plenty
of opportunities in Florida yet, but
they are not running around begging
young men to "please accept me"
young men must make their own .op-
pOrtunities.

Losses and Gains in Tobacco

"In Union There is Strength

When a people get together to car
ry through any move for the benefit

Chas. A. Choate, one of Florida s
old-time editors, died suddenly at mis-
home in Tallahassee last Sunday sur
rounded by the members of his fami-
ly, and with whom he was chatting
at the time. That is a
beautiful death for life that has ran
a beautiful course; it was a case
where there twas no moaning at the
bar when he put out to sea-" Some
there may be in the newspaper busi-
ness in Florida who did not know Mr..
Choate; that was their misfortune.
His greatest service was to genera
ton now closed He was once manag-
ing editor of the Jacksonville Daily
Times, afterwards the Times Union;
he was an editorial writer en- the
Jacksonville Daily Citizen, also after
wards merged into the Times Union.
He was also at one time connected
with the St. Augustine Record, the
Pensacola News, the Tallahassee Flo
ridian, the Fernandira Mirro-, and
other state papers. Mr.. ChOate was
also a lawyer and gentleman of fine
literary attainments. He is the au
thor of Choatc's Digest of the Deci-
sions of the Florida. Supreme Court.
Fer many years past he has lived
quietly at Tallahassee, and Mt the
time of his death was city tax assess
Or. During the administration of
Gov. F. P. Fleming he served on his
staff as judge advocate gen
eral with the rank of colonel. Col.
Choate is survived by his wife, one
son, John Ragland Choate, cashier of

two daughters, the Misses Miriam

The editor of the Tallahassee True
Democrat has branched into poetry
of the blank verse variety, and last
week had a two-column poem on "Tal-
lahassee; It is Gods Beauty Land"
The poem represents the discovery of
Tallahassee by a band of Chicago In
dians and tells how they got stuck on
the country at sunset, when "The
wise and valient chieftain, in superb
splendor stood; his hands to his visor
flew, and with discerning eye, gazed
long and stseadfast, both on green
earth and flaming sky" These Chi
cago Indians, you know, were some
different than the bare-headed, bare
legged Seminoles down in the Ever
glades; the Indians who discovered
Tallahassee wore regular German Wis
ors and were military trained. Of
course it is impossible at this distance
to tell how Editor Smiths legend will
take among the cold families" at the
capital, some of whom insist that the
real discoverers were their buried an
cestors, whose tombs, moss-covered
and topping, are pointed out to
strangers in the equality cemetery"
which is still kept separate from the
resting place of those who came af-
ter. The story of how these "yan-
kee' Indians got stuck on the place at
first sight, however, has an element
Of truth that marks it as something
more than legend. Today in all parts !
If Florida, prominent citizens have
onging for Tallahassee, and none a
greater longing than those who al
'eady have with discerning eye gazed
ong and steadfast, both on the green
,arth and flaming sky"

Wood to Run for Governor

Orlando Reporter-Star: The GU
bernatorial race will be enlivened by
the entry of another candidate, Mr..
Wood of Pinellas. 1t will be remem-
bered that Mr.. Wood created consider
able notice during the last session
of the legislature. He was the ener-
getic member from Pinellas, and from
all accounts he represented his county
we'll. Mr.. Wood has convictions and
he also has the courage Of those con-
victions. 1t is really refreshing to
see a man in the legislature of that
type; also it is interesting to see a
man with convictions get sat upon.
1t always happens. This does not
prove that he is not right; it may
prove that he is right, as a matter
of fact; but it invariably happens
that a man with firm and aggressive
ideas in regard to public business is
not allowed to get very far with them.
If he talks much about them before
the time for election he is not elected;
if he remains discretely silent while
in the campaign and manages to get
elected he is given the quick kibosh if
he springs them on the legislature.
Mr.. Wood got through the legislature
without engrafting any of his pet
bills on the statute books, so far as
we know, and now he is going TO run
for governor because he believes so
earnestly in a number of things that
he feels it necessary to get before the
people with them. We welcome the
approach of Mr. Wood. He is a ban
ker and a good business man, and is
probably able to make the race with
out going broke. His experience will
be extremely beneficial to him and
probably not without profit to the
people.

DIVORCE MONOPOLY
NOT HELD BY RENO
FIRST CASE INSTITUTED IN NYE
COUNTY UNDER THE
NEW LAW

That the city by the river does not
constitute an illegal trust in restraint
of the divorce trade was proven today
when Thos. X. Chambers journeyed
to the office of the clerk of the fifth
judicial court for Nye county and
then and there filed papers instituting
suit by his client, Mrs Sophie Proc
tor of Tonopah against Lester Proc
tor, a nonresident. presumed to be
in California, possibly San Francisco.
The plaintiff charges the defendant
with attempting to throw her through
window and with failing to provide
for her, for which offenses she re-
quests a divorce. Mrs. Proctor has re
sided in Tonopah for the past eight
months and the new law, or rather
the old law reinstated, gives her the
right to institute divorce proceedings
before the expiration of a year.
