Tallahassee, Fla.. May 14.—The more
radical measures which have been Intro
duce! during the current session of the
Florida legislature have ail foundered
wni < attempting to run the course of leg
islative routine which leads to final pas
sage. The harmless remains of a few of
them will probably get on the statute
book, but there will not be substance
enough kft in them to consume much
time of the courts, nor work any consid
erable annoyance to the people at whom
the original bills were aimed.
Sonspieuius among these emasculated
biiis are Frank Clark’s anti-cigarette
measure and his stringent libel bill. Clark
is a good deal of a genius. His eloquence
as an orator, his readiness as a debater,
and nis diligence as a worker are the /-pe
dal admiration of his associates in the
House. Mr. Clark is still a young man, a
native of North Georgia, and now one of
the most prominent citizens of Jackson
ville. But with all his eloquence and in
fluence. he will fail—indeed, has failed—to
legislate the cigarette out of the stale and
to secure th< enactment of a libel law
which would gag the press.
Intl-t itfdrette Hill.
The cigarette bill, which, as originally
drawn, and as it passed the lower house,
would have prohibited the importation,
manufacture, sale or gift of cigarettes or
cigarette papers in any form, was amend
ed in the Senate so as to exclude from its
provisions all cigarettes made from Flor
idA fc or Cuban tobacco, which means, in
plain Knglish, that the effect of the bill
was destroyed. Prosecuting attorneys
would soon break down from overwork if
they should attempt to test before a jury
whether every cigarette sold or given
away in the state contained only tobacco
of Florida of Cuban growth. This re
markable bill is now in the hands of a
conference committee, composed of three
senators and three representatives. Four
of these six gentlemen are on record as
heujg opposed to ih measure, so it may
never see il. ’ t of day.
Libel Hill \ nte tided.
Mr. Clark’s stringent libel law, after
running the gauntlet m the House, was
also amended beyond recognition in the
Senate. It originally provided penalties
for publishing any article wherein al
leged immoral acts, misdoings or wrong
ful conduct of any person are stated or
pretended to be stated, or wherein it is
intimated that any person has been guilty
of any immorality or other misconduct,
unless the full name of the person so
charged and also the full name of the per
son writing the article are published there
with. The Senate amendments remove
the penalties from the publication of all
articles except those alleging immorality,
and it seems certain that those amend
ments must prevail, or the bill can never
become a law.
Another instance in point is the anti
trust bill, introduced in the House by Dr.
Coleman of Washington county. This bill
has mot with no favorable progress. It
was reported adversely by the corporations
committee, and was just al>out to be sent
to its death by an indefinite postpone
ment. when Dr. Coleman secured its re
commit rimnt to the corporations commit
tee, in the hope that a substitute which
would meet with greater favor might be
presented by the committee. It is not
thought, however, that much more will
be heard of this measure.
W ill He .No Convention.
Then there is the proposition to hold a
convention to revise the constitution. It
has been reported favorably by the House
committee on constitutional amendments,
and when this fact was told to a promi
nent official here he remarked:
“Is folly actually running that wild?
Why, they’ll not get twenty votes in both
houses for such a measure."
That opinion seems to s>e well founded,
end a quick death seems certain for the
joint resolution when it is reached on the
calendar.
Over two weeks ago Frank Clark in
troduced In the House a joint resolution
proposing an amendment to the consti
tution which would locate the capital at
Jacksonville after 1901. The resolution
was referred to the committee on constitu-
tional amendments, of which Mr. Clark
Is chairman. It is still there, and mem
bers are wandering whether Clark is
afraid to report it or waiting for an op
portunity to spring a coup.
The talk of removing the capital, or,
to l>e more accurate, or submitting the
matter to the people, is living out rapidly.
There is very small probability that it
could receive favorable consideration at
this late day.
Only three weeks of the session remain,
nnd the calendars are very heavy. The
capital removal question would consume
several days in its discussion, and most
of the influential men feel that the other
measures of more real and pressing Im
portance demand and should receive pre
cedence over the gratification of Jackson
ville’s ambition.
Xofli 1 nit for Supreme Court.
Strange to say, there has been no bill
Introduced in either house looking di
rectly to the relief, of the Supreme Court.
The constitution of 1885 made the justices
of that court elective officers. Previous
to that, they had been appointed by the
Governor and held ofllce for life.
The old regime, composed principally of
carpet-bag Republicans, took things Vas
ily and di<l not trouble themselves to keep
up with the dockets. Consequently, when
the new Democfatic justices went upon
the Supreme bench in the late eighties,
tiny found the docket in a grievously eon
gested condition. The appellate business
was increasing with each year, and the
cases which had been pouring in for five
or six years were still awaiting decision.
The number of Judges was not increased]
nor was the constitutional requirement
that written opinions must be filed In each
case- altered.
Ibe new justices, however, buckled
clown to the well-nigh hopeless task and
nicy have succeeded thus far in gaining
about two years on th ir dockets civil
causes submitted in 18% are now being
decided. By virtue of some new rules
which the court adopted a couple of years
after tin* last legislature failed to
gram any relief, ii is believed that more
rapid headway will be made hereafter
Inc fact remains, however, that the con
firm, and failure of the legislature to provide
some means—such as an additional num
ber of justices or a court eommission
which would assist the Supreme Court in
bringing its business up to date, has work
ed and Is still working needless hardships
upon all classes of litigants. It tends to
lessen the respect for courts of justice
w hich the high character of Florida Judges
a* in dividual* has inspired; and it is
ruining the practice of law.

ing into court when he knows that even
though he secures a verdict and Judgment
promptly enough, the defendant can ap
ical to the Supreme Court, where the case
must sleep three or four years before a
final decision is made. Yet never a word
has been said at this session of the legis
lature looking to the correction of this
evil.
Railroad CommlMlon.
Far and away the toughest problem that
the legislature has tackled Is the question
as to what shall be done for the Railroad
Commission. The commission was creat
ed two years ago and he members have
worked diligently to secure the adoption
of reduced freight and passenger rates,
but the orders which it has promulgated
have been treated as a bv-word and a j<-st
by the transportation companies. The
commission has no authority in itself to
enforce its orders, and It seems to have
concluded hat an nppeai to the courts
would ava.i nothing.
Accordingly, at the general election
last November* the people adopted an
amendment to the constitution authoriz
ing the legislature to confer judicial i>ow
ers upon the Railroad Commission. The
crude manner In which this amendment
was drawn is the cause of the serious em
barrassment now worrying the legislature.
The only legislation that can Ire enacted
upon this subject must be based upon the
amendment, and it contemplates nothing
! ss than the giving of absolute and final
judicial powers to the commission. The
special joint committee—composed of five
of the ablest nun in the two houses. Sen
ators Myers and Carson, and Representa
tives Palmer, Raney and I/Kngle—at
tempted to draw a moderate bill which
would prove satisfactory; but when it
came up for consideration, this hope was
soon blasted. The Senate adopted an
amendment conferring absolute and final
judicial powers, and the struggle to retain
this provision will decide the fate of the
bill, and in large measure also, the fate
of the Railroad Commission.
There are two serious objections to giv
ing the commission such extensive pow
ers. First, it is believed that the federal
courts would undoubtedly pronounce such
legislation unconstitutional, and, second,
it would tend to prevent .‘further building
and improvements of railroads in this
state. Speculation as to the result of the
debate would l>o the purest guesswork.
lIIFFALO STRIKE ABOIT OVER.
Grain Shovellers Will Go to Work.
Hut Others Are Still Out.
Buffalo, N. Y., May 14.—The grain shov
ellers will return to work to-morrow
morning under the agreement reached at
1 o’clock this morning at a conference be
tween the lake carriers, elevator men and
"rain shovellers.
The terms of the agreement were re
duced to writing and iH*omptly signed to
night at the residence of Bishop Quigley.
Attorney Goulder of Cleveland, acting for
the Lake Carriers’ Association, and At
torney John Cuneen, of this city, repre
sented the scoopers.
The agreement provides that the grain
shovellers shall receive $1.86 per 1,000 bush
els; that the contractor shall not receive
nigh man’s pay; that a superintendent
shall be appointed by the bishop to guard
the interests of the men; that a local board
of arbitration shall be appointed to pass
upon any grievances which may arise in
the future, and that fourteen of Contrac
tor Conners’ boss scoopers shall be sus
pended pending an Investigation Into the
charges made by the grain shovellers that
they are identified with saloon interests,
or otherwise objectionable.
Notwithstanding the adjustment of the
grain shoveling trouble the labor situa
tion here, so far as the commercial in
terests of the port are concerned, is
threatening. The tie-up of the coal and
ore docks Is said to be quite as serious
as was the grain shovellers’ strike. Prac
tically all the coal and ore handlers,
numbering about 15,000 men, are out. The
freight handlers who struck out of sym
pathy to the grain shovellers now refuse
to go back until their wages are raised
from 25c to 35c an hour. The house men
employed in the freight houses also are
on strike.

OATS IXJI RED BA' DROUGHT.
Pythian* Going: to Rome— A merlon*’
X(*M ItllflKCt.
Americus, Ga., May 14.—The oai crop in
this section, now* about ready to be har
vested, has been materially injured by the
continued dry weather, and the yield will
be light. It has not rained here in nearly
a month, and crops are showing the effect
of the long drought, though cotton is do
ing well, with good stands and free of
grass. Farmers, as a rule, are well up
with their work.
Dr. B. T. Wise, a prominent citizen of
Sumter county, was stricken with apo
plexy a day or two ago, but is now re
covering.
Quite a large delegation of Pythians will
leave Americus to-morrow for Rome to
attend the annual meeting of the grand
lodge in that city this week. Cooper
lodge of Americus is one of the largest
in the state in point of membership.
Mrs. M. L. My rick of the Americus
Times-Recorder left to-day for Savannah,
and with her son, Mr. Shelby Myrick of
that city, will sail Monday for New York.
Mrs. Myrick goes for a few weeks’ respite
from her arduous duties, which of late
have been very confining.
The engineers of th<- Georgia and Ala
bama Railway will have their annual pic
nic at Bowen's Mill, in Wilcox county, on
May 25. An excursion train will be run
from Americus, and there will be a large
attendance of the knights of the throttle
and their friends.
POLICY IS .SATISFACTORY.
Southern Hiiilqond llan Given An
m urn lice of Good Fnitli.
Columbia, S. C., May 14.—The inhabi
tants in the large territory dependent
upon the South Carolina and Georgia Ex
tension Railroad were apprehensive as to
the future when it became known that the
Southern had leased the South Carolina
and Georgia, and was debarred by the
constitution from operating the “Exten
sion," it being a competing line. The “Ex
tension” was, at is were, cut adrift.
They will be reassured by an official
statement to the effect that the policy re
cently outlined before the Railroad Com
mission of this state regarding the inter
change of traffic between these two roads
will be at once put into operation. At a
conference between the executive officers
of the South Carolina Extension Company,
operating the Ohio River and Charleston
road, and the Southern Railway, an under
standing has been reached under which
an interchange of traffic between the
Charleston division of the Southern and
the “Extension” will be fully maintained,
and bases of interchange of traffic V>e
tween the “Extension” and the other di
visions of the Southern will be inaugu
rated.
The course of the Southern in this mat
ter is very gratifying to the people inter
ested.

been recognized as one worn by the negro,
Humphrey Taylor, alias Brown, who is
suspected of having committed the crime.

Crop* Around Palmetto.
Palmetto, Fla., .May 14.—The oat crop,
which is the best we ever raised, has been
harvested and no rain fell during the har

and it will be the shortest for years. Some
green corn, okra and canteloupes are be
ing shipped and about 5,000 crates of to
matoes go out daily. Most of the toma
to crop is sold on the dock here for good
prices. Orange trees are looking well, and
haev a good crop of fruit, well advanced
in size. Vegetable growers in this sec
tion are very anxious to see the Railroad
Commission bill repealed. The commis
sion ordered the rates on vegetables from
Manatee river points raised 9 cents per
crate and 18 cents per barrel, and the
roads claim they cannot lower the rate
unless by permission of the Railroad Com
mission, and that the commission- has not
as yet given them that privilege.

DON’T MOVE AGAIN. ••THREE
MOVES ARE AS BAD
AS A FIRE.”
My friends (i. e. parties who have been
looking at lots on Ninth street) want to
know when will there be a sale of Ninth
street lots. They mean at auction. Some
people like to attend auctions. I have a
taste that way myself. I am always hap
py on such occasions. Now the owners of
those Ninth street lots would like to sell
as many of them as possible at "private
sale.” You know it is cheaper to sell at
private sale than at auction. An auction
means big advertising bills, big posters,
and a brass band. It is expensive. The
auctioneer's sweet voice itself is cosily. It
is worth $5 a tune for the auctioneer for
a S2OO lot! Of course somebody has to
pay for all these adjuncts to an auction. It
is simply to save you money, my friends,
that I am writing these epistles. If I sell
at auction every one who buys a lot pays
for his share of the music, advertising
and auctioneer. It don't look that way, out
in the immutable course of events it must
be that way.
But I am now making up a list of those
who want an auction, a real old time en
joyable auction, where there will be lots
of smart things said. / as the list
is completed I shall stu.i. over the situa-'
tlon and see what can be done. In the
meanwhile "cross the Rubicon” and pick
out the lot on Ninth street that you want.
Take your wife with you, for as a rule it
is her little economies and savings which
help to buy the lot and build the home. If
you make up your mind, I mean you and
your wife, to get a place where you can
have not only home comforts, but have a
few fruit trees and raise chickens, maybe
keep a cow, I know you can pay for it for
less than you now pay your landlord for
rent and spend ih cigars and other luxu
ries and summer excursions, and then have
something to put aside. I know what I
am talking about, because there are hun
dreds of people in this town who have done
and are now doing to-day what I have out
lined, and I am glad to say that incident
ally I am the maker of the good for
tunes. There are only three things neces
sary in order to secure a home, namely:
a building lot, industry and economy.
Call and see me and bring your wife. She
is doubtless tired of moving about, because
Just as she gets the house in order and her
little garden planted, and become acquain
ted with the neighbors, she has to ‘‘pull
up stakes” and move. Many a poor wo
man's life is worn out by moving. Give
your wife a home and she will be a hap
pier woman. Hoping to see you at an
early day, I am, encouragingly yours,

nently. No one can ufford to lake such a
risk. Fortunately no one need to do so.
Our examinations (which are FREE), de

preserve it from injury. They correct any
visual imperfection and strengthen the
muscles. It is exceedingly unwise to
neglect the precaution of an examination,
which cost you nothing. Our prices are
