The FroIic

The Frolic
 Dance the old year out and the New Year in at the Frolic. the premier dancing club. That's the program for the dancers of the city this evening, and judging from the advance inter est and preparations the dancing emporium will be the scene of the happiest of gatherings this evening.
 This is the night that the big show takes place at Riverside after the Frolic closes. The moment the clock strikes I2 tonight the buses will back up to the door and take the crowds to Riverside. where an all night watch party will be in full blast. Those who attend the Frolic will be given free gate tickets at the door which will admit them to the park without charge. The same prices for dancing will prevail there. and there will be shower of good things for the revel- CTS wno are going to watch the old year out and the New Year in. There will be more doing at Riverside to- night than a one-armed man with cooties. Noise makers will be dis tributed free and the smart band will knock your blues cold with the fastest lot of jazz music that ever slipped out of saXaphone. You will not be | asked to pay more than the regular tariff at the park. and if you go to the F'rolic before the hour of 12 you will have a free ticket given you. Plenty of buses will be provided for all who want to ride that way. The lid of the fun barrel has been lost for this night and you can cut loose and have the time of your lives forgetting | that cotton took a. slump or that trouble is anywhere in sight. This is the night when you can go the limit for fun.

WEST VlRCINIA'S
CAPITOL BURNED;
LABORER KILLED
(By Associated Press.)

Charleston, W. Va, Jan. 4.-Ths
capitol of West Virginia was de-
stroyed by fire late yesterday. A la
borer was killed, a fireman seriously
injured and several others hurt when
a section of roof caved in. A store
of ammunition on the third floor of
the building exploded, adding to the
spectacular effect of the fire.
The capitol was an old brick struc-
ture, erected in 1891 at a cost Of
100000. There is new capitol an
mex, built about fifteen years ago,
when the old building got too small
for the increasing needs of the state,
which was not affected by the fire.
The loss is not estimated. Many
valuable records are said to have
been destroyed.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Affidavits, in
cluding number by negroes, were
presented to the House census COM
mittee today by the Florida delega-
tion in Congress in answer to the
charges that negroes were wilfully
prevented from voting in Florida.
Replying to the charge of F. W.
White, an official of the National AS
sociation for the Advancement of COL
ored people, that two negroes were
whipped at Live Oak, three negro
members of the Republican campaign
committee there in an affidavit said
there had been no such occurrence in
Live Oak or in the county. He said
that negroes went to the polls, voted
and were told by the sheriff they
would be protected in voting, that
nothing was said to the negroes to
keep them from voting He declared
the November election was no differ
ent from any previous election.
Affidavits were presented from the
sheriff and various citizens to the
same effect. The sheriff at Quincy.
Mr.. Gregory, telegraphed that it was
untrue that W. S. Stephens, a negro
physician there was ordered to leave
Representative Clark announced
that he would present an affidavit
from Stephens himself denying the
charge as soon as it was received.
Representative Tinkham, Republic
an, of Massachusetts, addressed the
census committee, warning it that if
Congress passed the reapportionment
bill and failed to reduce the repre-
sentation of the states in which as he
charged, the right of some citizens to
suffrage was abridged, he would take
the matter to the supreme court.
Tinkham declared that any education
al qualification or poll tax require
ment was an abridgement of the right
to vote. He said he was asking the
committee to apply the Fourteenth
Amendment to the entire nation.

WHEN ship SINKS
ON SPANISH COAST
(By Associated Press.l

Madrid, Jan. 4.-Two hundred and
fourteen persons lost their lives when
the Spanish steamer Santa Isabel was
wrecked near Villa Garcia Saturday
night Fity-six persons were saved,
but many of them were injured. In
several cases whole families were
drowned.
The ship was driven on the rocks
during violent storm. The large
number of deaths is attributed to the
fact that passengers were confined to
the cabins, many of them being asleep.
The vessel grounded while the cap
tain and passengers were at dinner.
The ship was dashed upon a rocky
tongue of the coast with such force
that probably most of the victims
lost their lives within a few minutes.

The Inauguration speech. was list
ened to with attention and evidence
of approval by all within reach of the
governors voice. His references to
state highways, the improvement of
public institutions and the develop
ment of the, state were greeted with
prolonged applause, as were also
many other telling points in his ad-
ddreSs.
At it's conclusion there was a rush
to shake hands with the new governor
and congratulate him upon the aus
picious opening of his term.
Aside from the changes in the gov
ernorship there were other altera-
tions in the personnel of the e&ecu---
tive department. Reeves H Buford
succeeds Van C. Swearingen as attor-
ney general A. S. Wells qualified as
a member of the railroad commission,
succeeding Royal Dunn, who goes
with the interstate. -
The only thing that marred the per-
fection of the inaugural was the
weather, which was disagreeable, rain
having fallen up to within few
hours of the parade.
The Address
Governor Hardee's address was con-
servative, devoid of fulsome promises
and glittering genalities, but showed
that he intended to live up to his pre-
election promise of better government
in Florida.
It follows, in full:
My Fellow Citizens:
A wise provision in our state con-
stitution has placed limit of time in
which one may serve continuously as
chief executive Of Florida. That he
may not succeed himself, finds hearty
approval from thoughtful men and
women. The Inauguration of a chief
executive becomes frequently re-
curing event, marking the close Of
one administration, and the beginning
of another. In this representative gov
eminent they who shall administer
the affairs of the state, must first be
called to service by the sovereign
voice of the people, and SO today,
having been thus called, and in obed.-
ience to the will of the people OF
Florida, 1 am about to assume the
high and responsible duties apper-
tanning to the great Office to which
they have called me. 1t is my desire,
and it seems quite appropriate that l
should avail myself Of the occasion
now presented, to pay grateful ac-
knowledgement Of my Indebtedness to
the people of our state for the com
fldence reposed in me, as evidenced
by my election to such an exalted sta
ton. am not unmindful Of the great
honor conferred, and am not lacking,
/ trust, In the fine sense Of gratitude
which fills my heart today. AZ I read
the fundamental and statutory laws
Of Florida wherein are prescribed the
duties and obligations Of the chief
executive, q possible sense of self
1uflciency seems TO grow less and my
feeling OF dependence upon the pa
tient good viii of the people and upon
the cooperation and assistance Of my
