The champion. (Arcadia, Fla.) 1895-1911, 1906-08-02

From personal experience and invest
igation we know that the people who
are trying to make their homes with us
are leaving because they cannot get a
house to live in. From TT Myers to
Lakeland there is not one decent house
for rent, or an unoccupied home IN any
of our towns Men are begging for
money to build and while our banks
are all prosperous aud making large di-
yilends for their stockholders, they are
using their money in the regular short
time loans of regular business channels,
and cannot supply outside channels of
trade. There is not a town in our list OF
proposed combination that cannot use
from Is to 200 more houses than they
now have, and in building them make
better citizens, increase the tax income
Of their town and county and make
large interest on the money to the men
who furnish it.
TO this end we want ~ of the counties
Of South Florida to join us in conbi-
nation, and pool our interests, and by
our plan of cooperation and combina-
ton, we are sure that every man in
South Florida will agree with us, that
lirc of collateral can be created and used
in such a way that every place in South
Florida will be benefited and improved
more in the next ten years than in the
past fifty,
We have submitted this plan to some
Of the most intelligent monied men in
several of our towns in South Florida,
and to man without exception they
have approved it and agree that it will
do our whole section more good in more
ways and in quicker time than any bust
ness enterprise ever started in the State.
We have formed a Loan and Trust
Company with capital Of one million
dollars, to be known as the South Flor
ida Loan and Trust Company, Of Arcadia
Florida, to handle this special line of
loans for each town in our combination,
and to this end Solicit the cooperation of
the business interests and the people
generally of South Florida.
A representative of the Company will
call on you in due course of time to ex-
plain more fully the plans and workings
Of the organization. ]. J. HEARD,

To the People Of South Florida.

Combination and pooling of business
interests for mutual betterment and pro-
lection seems to be the aim of every
large financial and important business
undertaking of our day.
If there we're not more profit and
benefit this way, for those who join
these combinations, than by individual
undertaking, the brightest minds in our
financial and business world would not
pool their interests.
Believing that the greatest need of
South Florida is the necessary money to
develop and build up our section and in
crease the population of our towns and
counties which will permanently in
crease the value of our property and
holdings, and knowing that individual
effort on the part of any one town or
locality in South Florida, on account of
the small number of inhabisants, can not
bring this about as quickly, safely and
as satisfactorily and with as large profit
to the individual investors who furnish
the capital to operate on, as can be done
by combined effort on the part of all Of
the towns and all of the people of South
Florida:
We, the undersigned business men Of
Arcadia, Florida and DeSoto county
submit the following statements for
your consideration, and ask you to join
us in bringing about permanent and
lasting change in the financial con-
dition of our section, which will help and
improve every town in the whole Of
South Florida, and at the same time
make an immensely profitable, dividend
paying investment that will furnish
permanent and lasting income to those
who join with us in the undertaking.
The plan will furnish absolute safety
to us as investors and will bring us large
profits from other sources and a larger
interest income on our money than would
be possible for any individual to make
by himself on his money in large or in
small amounts,
We, the undersigned know from
personal experience since November 80,
1905, when forty-three business houses
in our little city out of total of forty
six, were destroyed by fire. how hard it
is by individual effort, even with gilt
edge collateral security, to obtain money
in large amounts on reasonable terms,
and interest charges, other than the
usual periods of time and interest rates,
customary with the regular banking
institutions of our state
We realize that the people Of South

not have been more intense. My sleep

seven boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills. The

New York Banker Points

Proper Legislation
May Bring Disaster

BLUFF POINT, N. Y, July g.
Frank A. Vanderlip, vice president of
the National City Bank of New York,
was one of the principal speakers at
the New York State Bankers Associa-
ton Convention today. His topic was
The Currency" Vanderlip said that
the currency problem in this country
is far from settled and he declared it
to be the duty of the New York Associ-
alton to take the lead in consistent
movement for the betterment of con-
dltions. Vanderlips address, in part,
follows:
To my mind we are in lethargy of

capital on a scale SO vast that it makes
the financial operations of other days
seem petty by comparison. Labor was

employed; business was never so ac

and growth.
If financial disaster should ever come

other group of people.
The one thing that 1 want to urge
is the Importance of providing a scien-
tine bank note currency If we wish
and further to emphasize the RESPONSE

the whole problem can be attained

Intention to Retire
Friction With Faculty
Partly Responsible for
His Desire to Quit
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SAN JOSE, July 5.-Partially as
result of friction which has existed pc
tween himself and members OF the
board of trustees and TO some extent
because of a desire for change whlcn
he has felt for some time. DR.. Eli Nc
Cnsh, president of the University OF the
Pacific, has announced that he will not
retain his connection with the instttu-
tion after the meeting OF the annuai
conference of the M. z. church In sep
tember of this year. The direct cause
of this action is a disagreement over
several changes in the faculty which
were proposed by DIR. McClish ana
which did not meet with the approYal
of certain members of the faculty Dr-
McClish felt that the changes were
vital and that his work would be ham
pered to some extent unless they coulo
be erected, and preferred to retire
rather than continue under the circum-
stances.
Dr. McClish has completed nearly ten
years of service at the university.
They have been years of earnest and
very efficient labor. When he took
charge of the institution 1t was on the
verge of dissolution. debt OF $4,000
had hung over it for years and its sup
porters were discouraged. Dr. McClish
almost Immediately inspired large
degree of hope. Payment OF the debt
was accomplished by DR.. McClish. In
retiring he will take with him the re-
spect of all with whom he has come In
contact He has announced that his
decision in this matter is final.

LOS ANGELES, July 5.-Sixty- five
employees of the Camden Iron Works,
located at Seventh and Alameda
streets, this city, walked out today on
demand for an increase in wages.
which the company declined to grant.
The corporation is an Eastern manu-
featuring firm, having branches in
different cities. The men who walked
out today comprised practically their
entire local force and were composed
of mechanics. mostly boilermakers.
The men claim that the employees of
the company in San Francisco are paid
larger wages than they receive here.
which Manager Wilson of the local
branch admits, but states that the cost
and inconveniences of living in the
northern city more than equalize the
difference. The strikers are not mem
bers of any union and the shop is an
open one. 1t is stated that the strike
will probably be settled by tomorrow.

COMMITTEES THE SENTENCES
OF TWO PAROLED CONvICTs
Murderer and Man Convicted of May
hem Are Released by Governor


SACRAMENTO, July 5.-Governor
Pardee today issued a Communication of
sentence to Joseph Harveston, an ac-
cessory in the notorious Plyler mayhem
case at Santa Cruz several years ago.
Harveston was sentenced to fourteen
years imprisonment. but three years
ago was released on parole. peculiar
feature of the case is that Plyler, the
principal, was not convicted. Superior
Judge Lucius F. Smith, who sentenced
Harveston, and many influential people
of Santa Cruz County signed the pc
tition for clemency.
Governor Pardee also granted a COM
mutation of sentence to John w. San
ders, convicted of murder in San Fran
cisco and sentenced to life imprison-
ment. He was paroled three years ago.
