Dunn, members of the Florida Rail- road Commission, were in Lakeland this morning for a few hours en route to Davenport, where they go to investigate conditions looking to the erection of a suitable depot at that place.

Her last number was “An-| nie Laurie,” and that she saved the! best for the last everyone agreed.

NO 8 /520,000 SCHOOL FOR FT. MEADE Splendid Building To Be Erected by Thriviag Little City. Evening Telegram Bureau, Bar- tow, Nov. 8. —There was very little doing in the court today. The crim- inal docket, insofar as the ones in- dicted were in jail, was cleared up. There are several persons out on bond whose cases will not be dispos- ed of until the regular or special term. The special term will likely begin the first Monday in January and the regular term the first Mon- day in April. Today, Johny Henry Brown, color- ed, was tried for breaking and en- tering and found not guilty. Bertha Wilson, colored, was tried on a like charge and found not guilty. Judge Whitney, by his remarks and by his sentences passzed, has let it be known that he has no sympathy with those who are found guilty ot promiscous cutting and shooting. At this court there have been a great many cases among the negroes of assaults with intent to murder wherein the defendants were charg- ed with cutting or shooting their victims. In every case of a convic- tion the Judge has imposed heavy sentences. He says that for at- tempts to murder where there bas been cutting or shooting, upon con- viction he will give ten years and when he comes around the gext time, If there is a conviction of some one from the same community on the same kind of a charge he will make the sentence fifteen years, and for the third similar offense from that community, he will make the sentence twenty years, He says that he is determined to do all in his power to put a stop to this cutting and shooting among the negroes in the county. The hustling town of Fort Meade is soon to begin the crection of a £20,000 schoolhouse.
