O'Clock in the morning of Tuesday.

Wednesday evening, receiving and
counting the $50 ballots cast at the
general election in that precinct.
we're highly indignant to learn that
the county commissioners had cut
down the claims for their services.
and have entered a vigorous protest
against such action. They were not
the only ones dissatisfied with the ac-
ton of the commissioners in trim
ming claims of election officials, and
many protests were filed with the
board at their meeting this week.
The commissioners have taken the
matter under advisement and say
that they want to treat everybody
fairly
In reference to the matter Com
missioner Whitlow says:
I'VE were unable To reconcile the
claims of some precinct officials who
counted hundred or so votes in
three days time with the claims OF
larger precincts who counted twice
as many votes, yet only put in claims
for the same amount of time There
was such a discrepancy in the total
amount Of claims in proportion to
the number of votes counted by each
set of officials that we were COM
PEELED to strike an average and base
all claims from that standard
For 100 to $50 votes counted we
allowed two days; for 200 to $50,
three days; from $50 to $50. three
and one-half days, or as nearly upon
this basis as possible. If we made
any mistakes in our computations up
on this basis we will. of course rec
tify them. Our aim was not to cut
down, particularly, but to equalize
the various claims as best we could

This community deeply deplores
the death of Mr.. William Sammon,
which occurred at his home on East
Orange street at about 9 o'clock last
night, following an illness of only
three or four days duration.
Mr.. Sammon had been apparently
in the best of health. and on Tuesday
was down town mingling with his
friends. Wednesday morning he was
out in his yard supervising the set
ting out of some trees, when he felt
i'll and went into the house, saying
he would lie down awhile. He grew
worse steadily until the end came,
relieving his sufferings. While it
was realized he was very sick, it
had been hoped that his malady
would yield to treatment, and his
death came as profound shock not
only to his devoted family but to
his many friends and acquaintance.
Everything that medical skill could
devise was called into requisition,
and a trained nurse gave the most
tender and efficient care, but all
| without avail.
The funeral took place this morn
ing at 1890 o'clock, at the Cath
Ollie church, Father White, of Tam
pa, officiating. Interment took place
in the Lakeland cemetery. A large
concourse of friends followed the re-
mains to their last resting place. at
