Cox, returned a verdi¢t of guilty of being accessory after the fact under the third count lof the indictment. This trial has excited the interest of the public for the past three weeks, during which time the court has been carefully going over the evidence. Cox was indicted under three counts. The first count charged him with having accomplished the death of Hettie Parcel; the second that he was accessory before the fact, and the third with having been accessory after the fact of her death and with having aided in the escape of the act- val murderer or murderers . If the verdict should be finally sus- tained by the supreme court, the ex- treme penalty that may be imposed upon the convicted man is seven years in the penitentiary. Miami, Nov. OFFICIALS DENY SALE OF A. C. L. Jacksonville, Nov. 23.—The report that the Atlantic Coast Line Rail- way is about to be purchased by the Pennsylvania system is denied by President T. M. Emerson, of the Coast Line, in a telegram in which Mr. Emerson states that there is| “absolutely no foundation for the; report.”” The rumor that such a; deal would be made originated in| ) Baltimore and a dispatch trom that city stating that the Coast Line would be purchased was published in | several papers. An investigation of the matter yesterday indicates that| there is nothing tangible in the re- port and President Emerson's lo- gram would seem to clinch the mu!-: ter, ‘ A. C. L. OFFICIALS PROMOTED. Jacksonville, Nov. 24, At the an- | nual meeting of the board of direc-| tors of the Atlantic Coast Line rail- road, held Tuesday at Richmond, Va., 'R, A, Brand, freight traflic manager of this line, was promoted to the fourth vice presidency of the com-i pany; James Menzies, general freight | agent of the lines south of Charles- | ton, known as the second division, | was selected to fill the vacaney caus- edby Mr, Brand's elevation, and James W.

If it were not for reading Dixie every week we'd even forget that Claude is a candidate. Maybe things will be warmer after awhile, but thus far no one is showing symp- toms of getting “overhet.” N ra— In the past Polk county has had some jokes in the State Legislature, and it is rumored that one or two jokes are being gotten ready for springing. Having some sense of humor, this paper, in due time, will point out some of the funny features| of the aforesaid jokes--that is, if they ingist upon becoming ecandi- dates. 0 Very frequently some fellow blus- ters in and demands to know where we got our information in regard to some item we have published. Such demands invariably meet with a cool, if courteons, turn-down. News- papers never betray their sources of information, unless compelled to do s0 by the courts. Newspaper men who know their business generally get their facts so straight that it is an extremely rare occurrence that they have to go to :nurt, o Yes along with the advertising fakir comes the other kind, down here in Florida, in the good old win- ter time. There was a fellow here this week, taking contributions from our people for an orphan asyvlum somewhere in Brazil or Beloochistan, we didn’t learn which He got con- siderabl: money. too We do not say that he was an impostor, but there ; many such going over the conntry, with fake “credentials.” making a good thing off the kind- heartedness of the charitably dis- posed. Meanwhile, there are a lot of orphans at Arcadia and Enter- prise, and some even nearer home, that we know are genmine, dyed in the wool and blown the bottle orphans.

Mr. Brand and Mr. Perrin, while never stationed in this city, are nev- ertheless, well known in local rail- road circles, having frequently visit- ed the city and having an exiensive acquaintance in railroad and ship- ping circles throughout the state. Mr, Menzies is a former resident of Jacksonville, having been stationed here during a period of his connection with the Plant System of railways, prior to their acquisition by the Coast Lifie. Since removing from this city he has made frequent visits here and is deservedly popular in business and social circles.

A. C. L. RATE CASE. Pensacola, Nov., 23.—An old rate lederal court since 1905, was argued yvesterday afternoon before Judge Sheppard by Col. W. K. Kay, repre- senting the Atlantic Coast Line anu F. M. Hudson, of the Florida railroad commission, in which the latter is seeking to have am injunction dis- solved and the railroad to bave it make permanent. & In April, 1905, the railroad com- inission made order No. 72 reducing their class P rates. The L, & N., the Seaboard Air Line, Atlantic Coast Line and Georgia, Southern & Flor- ida railways applied to the late Judge Swayne for an injunctjon re- straining the operation of said order, which injunction was granted on the ground, as claimed by the railroads, tuai its operation would be depriving then of property without due pro- cess of law, and would, therefore, be a violation of the fourteenth amend- ment to the constitution. Te the plea of the railroads the railroad commission demurred, and the mat- ter has since heen pending in the court. Mr. Hudson yesterday set up the contention of the commission that the facts as set up by the railroads in their application for injunction are not sufficient grounds for relief, or for 4 permanent injunction. This hearing is not a final disposition ot the case, Park TrAmmell writes the Jack- sonville Metropolis that he is not neglecting his duties as attorney-gen,- eral of the state and that he does not propose to resign and will serve his full term. After this statement un- less the Metropolis can prove othoer- Wise it is up to it to either show that Mr. Trammell is neglecting his du- ties or forget the phease “‘resign be- fore ruuning.” - Pensacola Journal, R S R S NS Guard Against Undesirables.
