The Times is in receipt of a letter from Captain Harry A. White, of Maewood, on Lonbgoat Key, in which he tells of some kind of marine mon ster which has washed ashore In front of his place a few days ago. Captain White says: “ A fish or mammal came ashore on the gulf beach a few days ago In front of my place, ’Maewood,’ that is evidently of the whale family. It Is 17 feet and 2 inches long and 8 feet and 2 inches in circumference, is of a dark slate color with lighter Slate colored spots over back and sldea and very light, almost white, belly; it has rather small dorsal fin, well aft on the back, and two side fins which resemble somewhat the flippers of a sea lion or walrus. The mouth Is beak shaped being 12 Inches long by A inches in diameter; the under jaw is longer than the upper with no teeth. The tall Is horizontal like a porpoise or whale and is very large. No one down here seems to know what It is, som© being of the opinlou that it is a manitee, while others claim that it is a species of* the whale.” Captain White. wonld like very much to have the "fish" claslfied, if It can be done from the description. —Tampa Times.

The Hoke Smith reformers denounc ed this early primary system as a game in which snap judgment is taken on the peopie by the politici ans. Hoke Smith and the Atlanta Journal "made the welkin ring" wltlr clamors against this early primary. Even in his speech In Telfair coun ty in November, 1907, Governor Hoke Smith was still condemning the early primary, and pledging himself to glr«t the people a fair chance to express themselves, after a full discussion of men and measures. That was only four months ago, and now Hoke has flopped. And, of course, the Atlanta Journal flopped too. j These two always flop together— Hoke and the Journal.
