TRIED GUMSHOE TACTICS
Seems Like Williston Politicians Have
Framed Up a Most Extensive
Scheme

Mr.. L. w. Duval returned last night
from Tallahassee, where he has been
for several days working against the
county division bill.
Mr. Duval informs the Star that the
lines for the new county, which it ex-
planned yesterday, were right only as
far as Marion and Levy are concern
ed. The corner to be Topped off
Alachua is to go to Levy, to make up
for the slice from Archer to the gulf.
The west Alachuaites are to have the
courthouse, the plan being to move
the county seat from Bronson to Levy.
The Williston politicians have fran
"a up a whole map for that section
of the state, and moved towns, town
ships and counties around with the
ease and abandon OF sehoolboys play
ing checkers.
They have had their plans pretty
well covered up, not letting any more
of them out at time than they
could possibly help, but their inten-
tions are now well understood.
Mr.. Duval says the county division
advocates have strong backing and
are putting up a good fight. but he
does not think they viii win.
