NO FENCE LAW
LACKS LEADER
No Definite Understanding Seems 70
Have Been Reached on the
Proposition.
(RX JOHN c. TRICEN

TALLAHASSEE, April 10.-For
measure about which so much has
been. heard it is amazingly difficult to
get anything definite about the no
fence proposition. During the first
week of the session there has been
abundant opportunity for members to
feel each other out and by Saturday
night the understanding seemed to
have been reached that there would
be nothing in the way of state wide
no-fence bill this session. That i'm
preston may be a wrong one but it
is widely current among members of
both house and senate
Indeed, quite a search for the per-
son who is to introduce the bill about
which there has been so much discus
sion was without avail. If those who
have been pushing the matter have
asked any one to introduce bill 1t
could not be learned
Representatives Parrish of Brevard
Young of st. Lucie and Stewart of
Manatee have in mind the introduc-
ton of local bills setting apart a no.
fence section of their counties but with
them is is a local matter pure and
simple. The argument that he was a
"no-fence" man was widely used
against Parrish in his race for the
speakership and really without truth
for though Parrish will have local
bill, he is by no means convinced that
the TIME is here for statewide no
fence law yet. This seems to be the
attitude of many others and it may
be fairly stated that it is the general
belief that no no-fence legislation will
be passed at this session. This is said
without prejudice to the efforts of the
no-fence people but merely as a sum-
ming UP of the situation as the writer
sees it at this time

1t is a matter OF comment at the
capital that Speaker jennings de-
monstrates an earnest desire in all his
actions in the chair to be perfectly fair
to all the members of the house. In
the absence of the usual floor leader,
and an unusually large number of the
members being new in the service at
this session, things sometimes reach
something of a chaotic stage, out the
desire for fairness is always apparent
in the actions of the speaker and the
members of the house.

The dog question is one that will

THE SKILLED MARKsMAN

Twas in the border town of Yazoo
About seventy years ago,
When a band of greasy cowboys
Were fighting an Indian foe"
-Four shots were heard to mingle,
The cowboys knew not where;
Four reds were seen to give their yell
And grasp upon the air.
Just as this gallant deed was done
And the reds began to fall,
From behind a huge boulder
A cowboy stately and tall
Drew forth two shining pistols
And fired into their midst.
The reds began to tumble
Like the cypress in a swamp,
His guns began to grumble
Like a lion cub in want.
Two fends crept up behind the boys
As there they stood amazed,
Two flames belched from his red-hot
barrels
The Indians brains were grazed.
But, alas! this cowboys loads were
gone
And still four reds remained.
He lodged behind a boulder
Just to keep from being Drained,
The fends rushed on in fury,
Firing as they ran,
But nothing could be found
Of this bold and dangerous man.
The Indians held a council
In their own native tongue,
When a lasso whizzed around their
heads
Ana all four fends were hung.
This gallant man was never seen
Nor heard of any more,
But on this same limb of the tree
There hangs the skulls of four.

Our friend, George Mathews, of the
Fort Lauderdale Sentinel, has some
old-fashioned ideas. He says:
"We lynch negroes for rape, and
reward the libertine who pulls girls
down. We hold that he is worse than
the raper, for with his crime, he de-
stroys character If anything would
justify lynching, seduction would The
man who in the smallest way en-
c1oaches upon woman is a cur, and
is unworthy of the respect of any
honorable man or woman. Men viii
not marry women who have gone
wrong, then why is it that women do
not draw the same line? We hold that
the Latin races can teach us much
along the line of bringing up girls.
They do not turn their girls out to go
alone with men, but guard them until
they are settled in life. The result is
they have few mishaps."

country the school buses are starting
out upon their winters work of con-
veying pupils to and from the cen
tralized schools. Wherever such a
conveyance is in operation there
should be a campaign for especially
careful driving and for the utmost
vigilance at crossroads and railway
crossings. Every year the chronicles
of accident include some of more or
less serious degree to the school buses.
These, like the vast percentage of ac-
cidents of all kinds. are mostly avoid
able. A little more time and little
more care. little more watchfulness
would have saved minor accidents and
perhaps lives. The care of the school

not surprise anyone acquainted with
the topography of that city. The city
is on the side of a basin made by the
hills, among which winds the San An

only a creek, and several smaller
streams, all damned for irrigation.
The river and two creeks and an ir-

R0TARIANs IN GAINESVILLE
Gainesville Sun. 9TH

The members of the Gainesville
Rotary Club gave a picnic yesterday
for the Rotary clubs of Live Oak,
Falatka and 0cala, with other amuse-
ment features for the entertainment
Of their guests thrown in. 1t was
done in true Rotary style with unlim-
tied pep and punch.
The fun began in the afternoon
with a sightseeing tour of the Uni
versity City, and the visiting Rotes
saw pretty town that elected many
expressions of admiration.
Then to the ball park for. a game
between Palatka and Gainesville. But
Chief of the Fire Department Brin-
son, in the guise of baseball umpire,
announced that Palatka had cold feet
or something, and Waldo had volun-
teered to be the lamb for the slaugh-
ter.
Well, it was worth the inconvenience

Catcals for Uncle Joe, not the former
! speaker of the House, by the way, but

where did you get that suit?" were
frequent. DIR. Tison was quiet during
the latter part of the game, thoughts
of the coming feast obliterating any
interest he might have therefore had
in the exciting contest.
1t would be interesting to know
just what paper four of the visiting
Rotes were reading. They blissfully
ignored the existence of the national
game.
There was some system used. Doug
RUie caught and his august brother
umpired. How's that for system
Who couldn't beat with a combination
like that?
Bobby Swanson made a beautiful
cotch that caused such applause that
the top-row Rotes almost stopped
reading.
But where was President Fletcher
Burnett all this time? That man had
done beat Gordon Tison by thirty min
utes to that fried chicken and was sit
ting among the eats as quietly as
kitten with canary feathers on its
mouth, when the rest of the "bunch"
arrived at the picnic feast that had
been spread on long tables under IL
Illuminated pine trees. 1t was a
glorious affair, ice tea, the ladies and
song.
Under the supervision of Tom
Green, Bob Brush, Dan Cox and Law
renee Coles, contests were pulled.
Talk about cheating. In the first con-
test, the only one that was conducted
according to Hoyle, Mrs. Borland won
a silver pencil. Earl Taylor, with a
cup of water in each hand, success
fully hurdled three benches without
splitting much water, thereby defeat
ing the rest of the contestants. His
trophy was necktie.
Ards Waterman of Ocala won a
leather cardcase in the next feat
Freddie Hooker of the same place led
in prize-winning proves and receiv-
ed pair of eyeglasses. We hope his
sight won't be impaired by the addi-
ton to his other accoutrements. He
blew balloon that had the nerve to
burst before the rest of its "col-
