The city Of Fiume seems populated
principally by iooles. Before the war
Fiume did big business with Amer
lea, and tho the United States has
never recognized Fiume as separate
state it sent consul there in order
to facilitate trade and immigration,
of which there is said to be much, de-
string an outlet. The little govern
ment Of Fiume. however, was on its
dignity and refused to receive the
consul. The people of Fiume, which
is about as big as. Jacksonville. can't
do any business with America unless
they have an American consul, and
the American government can't rec
ognize them as separate govern
ment. so they will have to stew in
their own grease.

Says the Tampa Times: In the
good old days in the wild west horse
and cattle thieves were promptly
strung up to the most convenient tree
when they were caught-or, if a tree
was not convenient. their carcasses
were riddled with bullets. There was
a common saying that they were
changed and then tried" If any of the
crooks operating in the state are
caught, with reasonable proof of their
guilt, the Times will have nothing tc
say in condemnation if this rule is ap.
piled to them. These scoundrels are
all murderers at heart. and it will be
rendering a distinct service to society
to put them in an earth prison two
feel wide and six feet deep.

ence between $4,000 for three months
and $1,000 for nine months, and not
likely to get all that as taxes will
usually fall short of estimates. Will
try to do something the coming year.

development of home enterprises in
an address before the Southern Tar
iff Congress here today by John H.

the south from being overwhelmed
by manufactured products made by
cheap labor.

Miss Hiawatha Davis daughter of
Mrs. NJ. M. Davis of Wilson received
bruises and severe shock when an
automobile in which she was riding
with Mr.. and Mrs. W. H. Taylor,
Miss Zola Woodard and Milton Ward
overturned on the Farmers Mill road
about two miles from Wilson yester-
day afternoon shortly after five o.
clock. The other members of the par
ty were slightly bruised No one was
seriously hurt. At first it was fear
ed that Miss Davis was seriously in
jured, but it developed that she was
suffering from severe shock and
bruises of a minor nature.
The party was returning to Wilson
in Ford car driven by Mr.. Taylor.
The car met two other automobiles
In attempting to pass by the other
cars the Ford left the roadway and
overturned in ditch.
The fact that the car fell across the
ditch probably accounts for the fact
that no one was crushed under the
machine. The top Of the car was bad
