ONE PROVISION OF CORRUPT
PRACTICES ACT IS HELD TO
BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Orlando, June 30 "A decision Of
general interest over the State was
that handed down by Judge j. w.
Perkins in DeLand Tuesday when
he denied the writs of appeal of
Dennis c. Jernigan on a writ OF
mandamus to prevent the Orange
county commissioners from placing
the name OF j. ]. Lee on the ticket
fer justice Of the peace for the gen.
eraI election in November The ap-
peal was based on the fact that
Judge Lee was one day late in filing
his first expense account in the pri-
mary
Judge Perkins in his decision
holds that Sections 1 9 and 20, which
exclude a candidate from running in
the general election il he failed to
file his expense account within the
time provided in the statute. are un-
constitutional because the law pro
yides a ground Of exclusion not pro-
yided or warranted by the eonstitu-
ton of the State, the only grounds
under which a candidate can be ex-
cluded being stated in Section OF
Article 6 Of the constitution Of the
State Of Florida.

A GOOD INSTITUTION

Jacksonville, June 30.-James E.
Alexander, of DeLand, who was
nominated in the recent primary for
State senator from the Twenty
eighth district. has returned from
Raiford, where he went to visit the
State prison farm.
Mr.. Alexander went through ev-
cry department of the institution for
the purpose of thoroughly familiar
izing himself with the manner in
which it is conducted before going
to the next session of the State leg
islature. He declared himself
pleased with conditions as he found
them and termed it a great institu-
tion well worth a visit from any
one who wants to learn more of
Florida's system for handling her
prisoners.

Forecast of Legislation
In Interest OF Temperance
At Next Legislature

lature and the passage of the prohi-
bition amendment, which is appar-
emily sure to be approved by the
voters.
"At the last session of the legisla-
ture bill was proposed by Attorney
Billingsley, of Miami, providing that
only State licenses be required for
the sale Of liquor and that the pro
ceeds of this license should be d.
vided among the counties of the
State, whether wet or dry This
law was devised at first to answer
the argument that the elimination
of the saloon caused loss of reve-
nue. to the counties made dry Rep
presentatives of the liquor interests
puromised at the last session of the
legislature that, IL this law were
not passed, they would abide by the
Davis package law provisions. They
have failed to keep their word and
| believe that the law should now
be passed.
Then there is a bill, which the
liquor men themselves have stated
they wanted passed, placing liquor
under a pure food provision. This
bill IL enacted into a law would re-
quire that a standard Of purity be
established and would compel the
branding of all packages to show
their contents and If blended or com
pounded the label to state what in
gradients have been compounded or
mixed.
Enforcement of liquor laws when
left entirely to local officials often
enter into politics and results in lax
conditions, which should not exist.
To remedy this evil law is pro
posed giving the attorney general OF
the State power to enforce the Davis
package law and other liquor laws
and providing funds for detective
service.
This, l believe. will be the main
features Of the program of temper
ance forces in the legislature of
1917. AS | said in the beginning, 1t
is early yet to make definite fore
cast, but the outstanding evils need
ling correction are here covered and
Legislation similar to this is certain
to be brought before the legislature.

GRAPES AND FIGS ARE
PAYING FLORIDA CROPS

Gainesville, June 30.-A little
tract Of land in Southwest Gaines
Vile, owned and planted by DR.. H.
#. Thomas, shows what can be
grown in the fruit line in this sec
tion. Last November a year ago, DR..
Thomas set 500 grape vines of the
White Niagara variety, and after a
careful investigation it is safe to
say there is not a vine that is not
bearing. The stock was purchased
from John Figaro, an Italian who
embarked two years ago in grape
culture upon an extensive scale a
few miles from Lawtey. Every plant
that DR.. Thomas bought is now
growing by leaps and bounds. There
is no doubt that grapes of all kinds
can be grown here with great sue
cess.
DIR. Thomas vineyard occupies th'
same site upon which he has So'
pecan trees of the most improved va
rieties, Curtis, anDeman AM
Stuart. They are now about si'
years old. The yield has increases
from six pounds; as it will be great

come.

RECRUITS At
BLACK POINT
LEARNING TO
BE SOLDIERS
1900 MEN, BESIDE OFFICERS, IN
TRAINING AND WAITING CALL,
WHICH MAY COME, TO LEAVE
FOR DEL RIO, TEXAS

Jacksonville, June 30.-Several
days, or weeks, may pass before the
Second Regiment of Florida Infantry
is ordered to move to the border, ac-
cording to information received. A
telegram from General Funston to
General Wood, commander Of the
Department of the East, asks that
the Florida troops be sent to Del
Rio, Texas, so that when this body
Of men leave the State they will go
direct to this destination.
The obvious reasons for the de-
lay in sending the Florida troops
forward Immediately is because they
are unequipped and the majority
unframed The strength now at
tanned is fully 1900 men and Off
GERS, which is approximately 700
men above peace strength.
Equipment of this increase over
peace strength is lacking and urgent

the War Department by Adjutant
General Foster, requesting that the
equipment be sent at once. The de-
partment replied, saying that 1t is
now on its way from the Philadel-
phia depot.
Only the blankets from the local
post, First Regiment, saved several
hundreds of the new recruits from
spending an uncomfortable night.
Additional blankets from this post
will be sent out today, as many OF
the new recruits are sleeping on
straw piled up in the tents.
Shoes is one Of the greatest needs,
but General Foster says that enough
footwear for two regiments is now
enroute.
With the decision of the War De-
partment still indefinite. there has
been no let-up in training at Black
Point. The large number of green
men necessarily makes the work
more difficult but there seems to
be a spirit prevailing among the
new men to learn as quickly as pos
sible, and the result is that great
headway is being made.

QKissimmee valley-Gazette.)

QKissimmee valley-Gazette)
A careful survey of the member
ship of the next Florida Legislature
indicates that 1t is strongly prohibi-
tive in its tendency and that the an
ti-liQuor legislation will be one OF
the features of the session of 1917.
This indication brings Kissimmee
into prominence, owing to the fact
that Representative N. O. Bryan, of
this city, who was reelected with
out opposition, was chairman of the
temperance committee at the last
session and. one Of. the leaders in the
anti-saloon and liquor legislation at
that time.
Mr.. Bryan, owing to the promi-
nence he won during his first term
In the legislature, is sure to again
be one of the foremost legislators in
. this movement at the next session.
His views on the contemplated gro
gram OF the anti-liquor forces are
therefore important in any presses
sion forecasts.
Mr.. Bryan says:
"A constitutional amendment sub
| mission bill will undoubtedly be in
troduced at the opening of the next
session of the Legislature and from
a careful poll OF the membership of
the body which will convene In 1917
it is assured that the bill will car
ry. However, the passage of this
bill will not be the only anti-ltquor
Legislation of the session. The
amendment cannot be voted on by
the people until the first general
election following the passage of the
bill and that would mean the fall OF
1918. In order to take care OF the
nroblems furnished by the liquor
traffic in the meantime there VIII w
other needed legislation.
Just what this other legislation
will be can not be stated definitely
SO far in advance of the session, bu'
it is easy to know what evils neeo'

University Of Florida, Gaines
Vile, June 30.-One of the most i'm
