FLEMING'S FOLLY
Disposition of Georgia Legislator
To Joke Dref Attention of Mated
Scientist

Atlanta. Ga. August 25.-The SEN
ate committee on wild lands of the
Georgia legislature has before it a
bill introduced by Senator Fleming of
Dougherty county to make it neces-
sary for husbands in this state to OBJ
tain permission of their wives before
going fishing.
Senator Fleming, a fisherman him.
self and a married man, was merely
exercising his keen Irish humor whel,
he introduced the measure, and had
no idea of hearing an echo expressed
through the curiosity of so famous a
person as Hudson Maxim, the invent
or and author.
In a letter to S. G. McLendon, sec.
retary of state, Mr.. Maxim wrote:
81 see by the New York Tribune that
bill has been introduced in the sen.
ate of the State of Georgia by Senator
Dennis Fleming which contains some
provisions so drastic that it has occur
ed to me that the whole thing must
be joke"
Quoting provisions of the bill as
described in the Tribune story, that
"any and all married men who shall
go fishing without the consent of their
wives shall be guilty of felony, and
their sentence shall not be less than
five Or more than twenty years at hard
labor" the inventor wrote: "I shall
dem the courtesy very much if you
will let me know whether or not such
Legislation is being proposed in the
state of Georgia. AS I am writing a
book on lawless legislation in the
United States, am gathering any
striking bits of legislation which may
be useful for my work"

KUKLUX KLAN DEEP
IN TEXAS POLITICS

Dallas, Texas. August 25.-The Ku
Klux Klan promises to be an issue
in Texas politics until after the final
elections in November 1t has be-
come a vital issue in the Democrats
party especially in the race for Demo-
cratic nomination for United States
Senator, and is creeping into the race
for nomination for lesser state offices.
1t also has been a bitter issue in
certain counties.
The action of the Republican State
committee in opposing the Klan in its
platform, adopted in convention at
Fort Worth, August 9, precludes drop
ping of the issue after the Democratic
primary of August 26. Politicians
declare they see bid by the Republi-
cans for the anti-klan Democratic vote
in the platform plank. opposing the
Klan.
The Republicans for the first time
in number of years have a full state
ticket in the field now. Heretofore
nomination on the Democratic ticket
has been considered equal to election,
with only an occasional exception.
There are few members of the Repub-
lican party optimistic enough to de-
clare they expect the Republican vote
will show an increase, and the Demo-
Gratis will not have as easv a time as
in the past.

SCARLET FLAMINGO
HAS BECOME SCARCE

Miami, August 23.-The scarlet
flamingo is disappearing and the bird,
once native of South Florida and the
islands off the coast now are to be
found only on two small islands in the
Bahamas, according to Captain Jose
W. Pindey, of the motorboat Pris-
ella, in port here from Nassau.
The beautiful long-legged scarlet
bird is making, he said, its last stand
against the white man who kills out
of curiosity or who captures and vain
ly tries to domesticate it in America.
"There are now only two islands on
which it can be found-the Inagua and
the Abaco islands," he said. There
still are many of them, but they can't
last much longer. Natives catch and
tame a few of these birds and are
successful at it.
"One native would merely order a
big famingo to chase chickens out of
the yard and the bird seemed to under
stand the order just as well as dog
would, and chased the chickens out.
The natives say they easily are
taught tricks"

thirty-four years, meeting him first in
Volusia county in 1888. Ever since,
he has been a priced friend. Prizeo
because we have ever found him de-
voted to high principle and unswerv-
ingly honest. No man we have ever
known has been more willing to forego
self-interest for what be believed to
be right.
Mr.. Murray was lineal descendant
from the Murrays of the Scotch no"
bility, his ancestors coming to Amer
lea when it was yet the land of the
savage. He came to Florida forty
years ago and for long time made
his home on the East Coast. He
brought his family, his wife and little
daughter, to Ocala in 1909, and they
have since made this their home and
uncounted friends. Mr.. Murray was
an elder in the Presbyterian church
and helper in all it's good works He
was also always willing to do his
best in anything for the benefit of the
community. In his death Ocala ha:
lost a good citizen and his friend:
staunch friend.
