Early London Motor Buses.
From the London Gazette.


Now that there appears to be an
early prospect of a service of motor
omnibuses for London, ii is interest,"

the exception of a. few months about
four years ago, no horseless omnibus
mas been licensed in London for six
ty-nVe years. In the PARKWAY thir-
ties the motor omnibus was a very

rylng fourteen passengers at the mod
est fare of sixpence each. 1t is true
that the Era had an unamiable trick
of breaking down Just when its pas
sengers were most in hurry; and It
usually took half an hour or more to
start 1t again. But even our thousand
pound motor cars of to-day have their
eccentric moments. The Era's twin
sister, the Autopsy, was a still more
eapaeious vehicle. She ran, when she
could be induced to run, between PEN
tonville and Finsbury square, and was
an attractive looking omnibus with an
open front, which three open-air pas
sengers shared with the conductor. But
both Era and Autopsy suffered eclipse

able of carrying twenty-five passeng-

CANE GROWERS

BEFORE THE CONVENTION.

terstate Cane Growers AssOcia-
tiOn-W. b. ROddenberry of Cairo
and II. e. Rose of Florida De-
1ivered Interesting Addresses Be-
fore the Convention.
Jacksonville, Fla, May 5.-The sec
ond annual convention of Interstate
Cane Growers came to a conclusion
this afternoon. The old officers of the
association were elected, as follows:
d. G. Purse of Savannah, president;
r. E. Rose Of Tallahassee, first vice
president; second vice presidents,
Charles G. Abercrombie for Alabama;
c. X. McQuarrie, for Florida; w. B.
Roddenberry, for Georgia.; John Dy-
lnond, for Louisiana; H. H. Overstreet,
for Mississippi; John Lawton, for South
Carolina; j. A. Hollomon of Florida,
treasurer; r. NJ. Martin of Georgia,
secretary. and Ralph Edwards of Flor
ida, assistant secretary.
ROddenberry's Address
The principal address of the morning
session was made by w. B. Rodden-
berry of Cairo, Ca, who is practical
cane grower and syrup producer. Mr..
Roddenberry spoke of the difficulties
of marketing the low and inferior
grades of syrup, along with the pure
article, stating that the only way in
which the standard could be kept up
was in the selling of only first-class
syrup in attractive packages; that no
syrup would remain good in barrels
longer than four months, and the only
solution was in the Theoretically sealed
can or bottle.
Capt r. r. Rose, state chemist OF
Florida, delivered an able paper at
the afternoon session on the culture
of sugar cane and the manufacture of
syrup, and M. V. Richards, land and
industrial agent of the Southern Rail-
way. spoke with good effect on the
matter of immigration to the South.
He showed that the roads to the West
ern country had spent thirty years in
ducing immigration there, and were
content to reap the benefits of their
money and labor invested after so long
time. He drew the conclusion that
immigration to the South could not be
accomplished by the spasmodic efforts
that had heretofore been put forth in
that direction that a concerted effort
was necessary between the railroads
and the people to successful results.
Cities Want Convention.
Invitations We're received from Sa-
vannah, Waycross, ST. Augustine and

association. This is matter, however,
that is to be decided later by the

The session closed with the adop-
ton of lengthy resolutions and the
election of officers. Capt Purse will
remain a day or two in Jacksonville,
he and Mrs. Purse being entertained
by friends in Riverside.

A. Handy at the African Methodist
General Conference.
Lynching was condemned, and
recommendation made that the atten-

he said:
1--WE admire the stand which our

in the course which he has adopted,
he will hold place in the hearts of
