Woman Not Known

The young woman who wore the
Levy garments does not seem to be
known near the Arcadia hotel, Judged
by perfunctory inquiry last night.
j. w. Champ Of Fort Worth, Tex,
who with his family occupies the cot
tage adjoining that Of LeVy's, said:
81 cannot recall any woman who was
at or near the Levy cottage who might
have borrowed or stolen the clothes.
There was no servant there and only
two children. They had no laundress
and, / am told, sent their stun direct
to steam laundry which sent a
wagon for them, as most cottagers do"
II. j. Smith Of Hermosillo. Mexico,
another cottagar, said he knew of no
one answering the description.

also failed to conjure up any one who
remotely resembled the dead woman
from descriptions.
Nevertheless, Il the woman really

Dear Sir: How did you get your bust
nessT Wen tell you how we got ours
lou sell shoes, we make paint; per.
maps we can do good turn to ourselves,
you and we, by swapping experiences.
we begun 80 years ago IN a little
shop few minutes walk from where
we are now; great many things have
happened, we don't remember tber, al
We made as good paint as we could and
learned to make better. We are the
Oldest now; we don't know whether we
had any teacher or not it's 30 long ago:
" we had, he's gone and forgotten.
We should have been forgotten, IL we
hadn't made good paint and friends.
You buy your shoes; you have an adj
vantage in that; IL you make a mistake,
you can stop II quick; II you make hit,
you can push It quick We've had TO
go slow; it's hard 20 pick out ones own
mistakes, and nothing but fun TO cor
rect the mistakes of others
You know where to go for leather
that keeps its shape, feels good. looks
new. and wears a long time. What a
comfort 1t is TO be comfortable from
making ones customers comfortable
we also have unique advantage
unique, you know, means that nobody
else has anything like 1t. We make a
strong paint that takes less gallons,
saves half the cost Of painting your
house, and it's like that leather Of yours
for wear. II is all paint and the strong
est OF paint. Paint is usually adulter-
ated and weak.
We're very old, but we make young

large university, with commodious anC
beautiful buildings and complete ap-
paratus and a good endowment: has
grown, notwithstanding it's misfortune
and enemies, until its equal is not In
Florida: This being true, why make a
change?
Second Because do not believe the
Baptist Convention able TO keep the
university up to its present high stand
ard and pay the deficits. My reason
for this belief is the fact that the con-
Vention last year did not support its
own paper sufficiently TO pay its ex-
penses without accepting a gift of ST.
600 from Mr.. Stetson. Again, the con-
Vention has not paid its note for Sc, 900,
which has been running for about
eighteen years
CAN'T MEET OBLIGATIONS.
Mr.. Jennings wants to turn over a
successful institution TO a convention
that has not been able to meet it's obi
cations.
| do not wish to be understood as
speak king disparagingly of the Baptist
people or their "giving" qualities. The
Baptist people Of Florida are a liberal
people as far as their means 90. but.
unfortunately, they are comparatively
poor and unable to give largely. If the
convention cannot support its own pa
per, after the paper was given to them
out and out, and cannot pay a note of
eighteen years standing, how can they
expect to take care Of deficit and sup
ply endowment funds, which are sure
to come and be needed if the university
continues to grow in the future as in
the past.
Nv norgonoI .oo,o. r.. 49,. ------ a.,
convention control Is the fact that the |
who are most active in con.
tending for convention control are those |
who have done the least to build up and |
support the university, while those who |
have given the most in time and money |
desire To see a new board created and
the work carried on in accordance with |
he wishes Of Mr.. Stetson.
Dr. HobsOn says: MIR. Carnegie has
given a library to Mercer University,
which is owned and controlled by the
Baptist Convention. Good, but | do
rot believe that institution was divided
against itself as is the present Stetson
board Of trustees. If the Stetson tr1ls-
ees had been a unit they would have
lad not only Mr.. Stetson's 800, 900 and
'arnegie's $40. 900, but more besides.
Now to prove who il blocking the
lifts, ! make this suggestion: Let
very trustee offer his resignation with
ut any conditions, to take effect as
Don az n meeting can be called for that
urpOse, and their successors elected. '
the gift is then withheld, then some
ne besides the trustees is responsible .
Or the loss. :
] hereby pledge my resignation. and a
believe would be doing the university a
great wrong not to resign. g
