In some $50 years. The aggregate for Europe is
about 10000 Oo0ooO tons OF coal.
The coal deposits OF North America are estimated

Tom Watson and the Tariff.

Tom Watson may have wheels in
his head about some things, but on
the subject of the tariff he is as lucid
as ray of sunlight.
Among other things he says: "The
Advance pillow, which sells in this
country for SIS, is sold in Buenos
Ayres for 50. Thus our farmers pay
twice as much for the Advance pillow
as the South American farmer pays.
American farmers are tariff-taxed to
protect the American manufacturer
from foreign competition, and yet it
is the foreigner who gets the benefit.
You are made to pay SIS for your inn
proved pillow, in order that the South
American farmers may have the same
pillow at $9i
Can you figure out any avantage to
yourself, in such an arrangement? The
hay tedder, which costs you $45, is
sold in Buenos Ayres at $50. The
mower costs you Sos; it costs the
South American farmer $40. You and
| pay $25 for horserake; If we were
foreigners we would pay only SIT"

OF POPULAR
YOUNG COUPLE.
Mr.. Joseph c. Hoover and Miss Eta
chace Married.

One of the most beautiful and inn
pressiye ceremonies ever Witnessed in
Starke occurred Tuesday evening,
July 8, at st. Marks Episcopal church,
when Miss Eta Chace and Mr.. Joseph

The church was beautifully deco
rated by loving friends of the bride.
and never presented a more pleasing
appearance than on this occasion.

bishop of Florida, pronouncing the
blessing.
During the ceremony Werin's we
netian Love Song" was softly played,
merging into Mendelssohn's grand
march as the party left the church.
Immediately afterward an informal
reception was held at the home of
Mrs. Hoover, mother of the groom,
only the bridal party and family being
present.
The fair young bride looked most
charming in her wedding gown of en-
broidered point d'esprit over taffeta,
with garniture of lace and carrying a
bouquet of brides roses and maiden
hair fern. The maid of honor was very
sweet and dainty in her frock of white

Mr.. Hoover, in the home of his
adoption, has the respect and high es-
TEEN that he has merited by his sterl-
ing qualities.
The happy couple have gone to
housekeeping in their new home and
have the good wishes of a host of
friends.-Starke Telegraph.

If every business man in our town
could do business on a strictly cash
system it would be a blessing to us
all. Ii We all had ~ nav cash we
would learn to live within our means.
1t would save business men the ex-

bad debts, all of which some one has
to pay for. If our town could gradu-
ally work into strictly cash system
1t would be better for us all.

1t is generally conceded that the
immigration problem is one of the
most important now confronting the
country. Despite the fact that for
eigners are seeking our shores at the
rate of more than a million a year,
in great many portions of the coun-
try the population is much smaller
than it should be, land is plentiful
and cheap, and there is great and
growing demand for agricultural Ia
borers. Clearly the flow of foreigners
is not setting in the direction where it
is needed most, but is finding employ
ment close to the ports of arrival

MINERS READY TO
MODIFY DEMANDS
Mitchell Willing to Recede on
Scale-Strike Council Far
from Agreement.

n. Indianapolis, March 22.-The joint
scale committees Of the joint confer
ences Of coal operators and miners OF
the central competitive field and the
southwest district again went into ex-
ecutive session today to continue their
contests over a wage scale.
The situation before the session was
the same that confronted the operators
and miners when the former joint con-
ference adjourned Feb. following a
disagreement. The two sides were ap'
parently no nearer a settlement.
It is admitted by both sides that
should there be an agreement at this
time, the wage scale agreed upon WILL
be in force for one year only, as the
miners admit the operators will moi
agree to a longer period.
Before the scale committee met TO-
day the leader Of the miners said they
would present to the operators a propo-
sition to submit the difference to sub
scale committees which would consider
of two years ago.
BY submitting this proposition the
miners recede from their demands for
an increase of 1912 per cent in wages
an eight-hour day, a Z per cent differ
entail, a run-of-mine basis and the ex'
clusion of boys under 16 years OF age
from the mines, which they submitted
yesterday, and offer to take an increase
of $50 per cent in the central com
petitive district and relative advance
in the southwest district, with Other
conditions remaining as at present.

CIVIL WAR SHELLS
Exploded Recently When a Hotel In
Virginia Burned.
Philadelphia Record.

Fire recently destroyed the historic
hotel at Spottsylvania Court House. Va.
which, with it's massive white pillars,
had been such familiar sight to con-
federate and federal soldiers. The
origin Of the fire is not known. When
the flames were seen farmers for miles
around hurried to the county seat and
aided in saving the other buildings. The
only other damage was to the adjacent
store and stock of Harris & Frazier,
which was saved by the efforts Of the
bucket brigade.
Some. of the walls are standing, but
all Of the big pillars have fallen. There
were only seven guests in the house and
all of their belongings, as well as the
furniture, were saved. The hotel was
the property of Fl. A. Garner.
1t was in the thick of the battle at
Spottsylvania Court House during the
civil war and many soldiers of both ar.
| mics bivouacked in the building. Dur
ing the battles the building was struck
by many shells, which had never been
removed.
While the fire was at its height. these
shells commenced to explode. There
| were nine explosions, which scattered
the fire fighters to places of safety.
The hotel WAS built in 1888 and had
seven different owners. 1t has been the
headquarters of reunions and visitors to
| the battlefelds in recent years. Sena-
tor John w. Daniel and party of dis
tinguished confederates spent a night
| there recentlny. The property was val
ued at $4,000. 1t contained twenty
three rooms. Mr.. Garner says he will
rebuild.

fore we began, however, We had 'sthe
doctor habit and scarcely week went
by without a call on our physician.
"When our youngest boy arrived,
five years ago, I was very much run

aches I was not able to attend to my
ordinary domestic duties and was so
nervous that I could scarcely control

pany, as on that date the Canadian I'M

the province of Ontario went security
for at a time when it was case of

the means Of placing the Consolidated

tial business basis.
1t was at the time of reorganization
that T. J: Drummond of Montreal be,
came actively nterested-indeed, it
was largely thru his endeavors that the
project was ultimately crowned with
success.
In order to complete the large works
upon which so many millions had been
| expended, it was found, at the time
of reorganization, that additional money
was absolutely necessary. The compa
ny's credit was practically nothing and
| so the Ontario government was ap
pealed to. 1t was finally arranged tc
borrow $2,000,O00. The Ontario gov
eminent became security for the loan
This amount is due on May l., and the
Canadian Improvement company has ar
ranged to cancel the loan.
One of the stipulations made by the
| Ontario government was that they have
three representatives on the directorate
and the following were named: Mr.
Warren, PRESIDENT; T.. j. Drummond

The latter, who is resident of Saul

Night Is to Be Banished in

Business men, retailers and property
holders in the central downtown district
are interested in plan, that if it car
ries will make that section. of Mime
apoEs the best lighted Of any similar
section Of any city in the country. The
plan is brought about by the decorative
schemes proposed by the committee in
charge Of illuminations and decorations
for the G. A. R. encampment:~: ) !
The plan proposes to place artistically
designed iron columns bearing two pow
erful arc lamps at intervals Of fifty feet
on both sides of the street. The design
as shown by the accompanying cut is
far ahead of anything ever attempted.
So enthusiastic are many Of the leading
merchants over the plan that 1t is pro-
posed to make it permanent. Each mer-
his proportionate share of the expense.
The district in which it is proposed
to install the system embraces the CEN
trail retail streets. For the encamp-
ment it is planned to install the cleo
