In yesterdays hearing in the

not carry a revolver or attempt

The old men shouldered their

showed how the fields were won

to be men who had fought in
every corner and across and along
the once bloody triangle, now
brown with stacked wheat, or
green with the lush grass Of a

heroic dead.

jeremiah Williams of Boise,

Sickles' Position
"Longstreet was told by Lee
to envelop and drive in the

I'm pointing. I was with Sickles,

The old men in blue, who we're
standing about, voiced their united

SIX CANDIDATES
SEEKING SEAT in
SUPREME COURT
OTHERS EXPECTED TO AN
NoUNcE FOR PLACE ON
FLORIDA BENCH WITHIN
SHORT TIME

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Jan. 81.
FNS).-With six candidates al
ready in the field and more ex-
pected to announce before the
deadline for filing entries on Feb
ruary 1 is reached, interest in the
race for the three seats on the
Florida Supreme Court to be fill
ed this year is running high.
Two of the present members of
the court up for reelection have
opposition. Chief Justice William
E. Ellis, whose term expires this
year, viii retire on full pay.
Candidates opposing present
members up for reelection have
criticised the court for the manner
in which it handled cases coming
before it. Justice Rivers Buford,
one of the candidates for re-elec-
ton, has indicated that he is will
ing to debate that question with
all corners. In a statement last
week he said:
During the June term just
ended the court disposed of 443
cases, and the total number of
cases disposed of during the year
of 1887 was 780. In the June term
of 1886 the court disposed Of 454
cases. Considering the multi
pIicity of questions involved
many times there are scores in
a single case-this record shows
conclusively that the court has
not shirked its duties to the peo-
pie in any way. This record is
remarkable when it is considered
that during 1887 the court lost one
member by death and two were
confined to hospitals for long pc
RODS of time.
Justice Buford viii be forced to
conduct his campaign during such
time as his duties on the bench
viii permit him to be absent from
the court. He is opposed by D.
Stuart ellis of DeFuniak Springs,
president of the state senate, who
is now actively in the field.
Justice Roy H. Chapman, APP
pointed by Governor Cone to the
seat on the court made vacant
by the death of Fred H. Davis, is
opposed by J. Tom Watson Of
Tampa, for the four-year unex-
pired term. Like Buford, his
time for campaigning win be linn
tied by his duties as a justice.
Circuit Judge Elwyn Thomas Of
Fort Pierce and Truman G. Futch,
former president of the state SEN
ate, are the only announced can
didates for the seat now held by
Chief Justice Ellis.
