Gathering.

rs ready for the reception and enter?
tainment OF the great Episcopal Mis-.
slonary Conference, which meets
acre November 9, and 8. Although
1t Is now certain that it will be the
largest gathering Of the kind ever
heid IN the south, the city is pre-
pared TO entertain all the delegates
and visitors, and everything that
could ensure the success of the meet
ing and the comfort and pleasure OF
the delegates has been done. The
General Committee and the other
committees in charge of different
branches of the programme and work
are now awaiting the arrival of the
visitors.
1t is estimated that there will be
between $50 and 500 bishops, clergy,
and lay delegates. But these do not
by any means complete the list. 1t
Is more than probable that each
church of the department which in
cludes South Carolina. Georgia. Flor.

Cuba and Puerto Rico, will send more

send full delegates. 1t is likely.

one thousand.
One of the problems that the com

halls largo enough IN hold with cop,
fort the enormous gatherings at the
various sessions. But this has been
satisfactorily solved. There will be
meetings in Trinity and Good Shep-

IS customary with them responded
fully and generously to the call of

MINOR HEIRS Of

SUING

Personal Injuries Sustain s.
ed By Father.

A big damage claim was filed in
the United States court yesterday,
when Maxwell & Reeves and Price G.
Watson, representing the minor heirs
of J. B. Jockey, brought suit against
the Louisville & Nashville Railroad
Company, a corporation, in the sum
of $4,000. The suit is based upon
personal injuries received by the
father of the minor heirs, and was first
brought in the circuit court of Jack

The plaintiffs claim $4,000 damages.

1T is claimed that navigation of the
Kissimmee river will be impossible if
the level of Lake Okechobee. is low
cred five to six feet, as contemplated
in your plan. What is there in this
claim" .... e..
The Kissimmee Is a narrow river
and two hundred miles above the
lake is about six feet in depth The
fall is slight and the level of water
at the point where the kick comes
from (and, by the way it is a purely
political kick dictated by the corpor-
ate interests) would not be affected
more than three or four inches.
Nearer the lake it would, of course,
be much greater, but not sufficient to
endanger navigation. Even if the
lowering of the river was great
enough to impair navigation near the
mouth 1t could be very easily RENE
died either by slightly narrowing the
banks or by putting in a lock and

one, but it Is magnified to the limit
by those who do not want to see, the
everglades drained"
Can Do 1t in Five Years.
How long will it take, under pres,
ent plans, to complete the work OF
drainage?" .u.-" rs. Il
Il can do the whole business in five
years at the outside and turn the
everglade swamps into an earthly
paradise"
Wouldn't it take considerable
time for the everglades to dry out
enough to make them habitable?"
1.-THE everglades would be ready for
the settler by the time the work of
drainage was completed. The milan
canals would lower the level of the
lake sufficiently to dry out the coun-
try back from the shores of the lake
so that settlers could move in even
before the lateral canals were COM
pleted." ---...
Governor, what is your idea of the i
sentiment upon the question through
out the state?"
1--WE Are Going to Win"
We are going to win hands down. |
There has never been question:
in my mind that the voters of the
state would force the corpora
tons to put up their just pro-
portion of the expense of drain
age, and that it about all there
Is to it. The drainage of the ever
ylades is going on as fast as We can
build dredges to do the work and all
The other fellows are kicking about is
he assessment of their lands to help
pay the cost The lands when
trained will be worth hundreds of
dollars per acre where to-day they
are practically worthless and, after
having grabbed the lands, the corpor-
atoms are unwilling to pay their
share of the expense of improving
hem and thus benefitting the whole
state of Florida. But We are going to
win, and don't you forget it."

signified its readiness to entertain
one or more of the visitors, and there
is assurance that every one will be
pleasantly lodged and looked after
while in the city.
In addition to this general hospi-
tally, the chamber of commerce
made provision yesterday for recep-
ton Of the delegates at the state
house on Wednesday from 6 to
O'Clock.
The committee is receiving news
daily Of the coming of many who
were hesitating on account of other
engagements Or the expense of the
trip. But, since the railways have SO
generously granted rate OF one fare
plus 25 cents for the round trip. the
coming of most Of the hesitating is
assured.
The large number of bishops and
ST other men of the greatest promi-
nence in the Episcopal church, will
serve to make this conference distinc-
tive and memorable. AS there are
