CLEANUP WORK IS
PRACTICALLY FINISHED

The task, undertaken By the Civic
Improvement league of removing the
rubbish, some of it of twenty five
years accumulation, from the yards
and alleys of Florence, is practically
completed. The alleys in few
blocks, aud few scattered heaps of
rubbish still remain untouched.
These will be removed during the re-
manning days of this week.
The work that has been accom-
plished means many days of planning
on the part of the management and
many hours of hard labor, freely
given on the part of the citizens. In
"A few cases there has been some
necessary Inconvenience and hardship
to the householders, but this general
ly has been patiently endured. The
result is an improvement in the condi
tion of the town. in appearance and
in which we all, as loyal
citizens. may feel just pride. Now
may the same pride which animated
us all who helped to make Florence
clean, prompt US to labor with united
effort. to keep it clean.

Gulfport Record.Tribune.l

A talk with the leading busin ess
men of this city is sufficient to con-
vince one that prosperity is in store.
Interviews on various phases of the
business life of Gulfport have appeared
in the Record-Tribune during the past
few days, and the tone of every inter-
view published is exceedingly encour-
aging.
In the real estate market, which is
very important, things seems to be
looking up. Practically all of the real
estate men of the city are agreed Oh
the fact that an era of better times are
coming. One predicts that Gin future
the realty business of Gulfport will be
conducted on a sane and conservative
basis, which will insure success and
goes on to say that 1.-THE days of Wild
cat scheming are over"
The oyster industry which is import
ant on the gulf coast, promises one
of the best seasons for the next winter
ever known. Mr.. T. E. B. Pope, a gov
eminent expert who passed through
this city, and along this section of the
coast very recently, took occasion
to inspect some of the oyster reefs,
and his testimony is that the oysters
here were never in so f1ourishing a
condition.

Reforms in Turkey.

The Sick Man of Europe" the I'm
speakable Turk" and whatever other
far from fattering descriptions may be
given to the succ assor of the Prophet,
seems to have gained consciousness of
the fact that We are living in the twen
tieth century and rather than risking
his position and perhaps his life, has
given way to the demands of the
Young Turks and promised a Consti-
tuition. 1t appears that the army was
impregnated with progressive theories
and joined in the common demand for
reforms. 1t was either submission to
this demand or abdcation and the Sui
tan wisely preferred the former al
tentative.
1t is strange how some countries
have survived serious evils from with
in and threatening attacks from power
full neighbors. Although an eye-sore
to the rest Of Europe, Turkey has al
ways found defenders on account of its
strategic location in the Mediterranean
and Black Seas. Russia, claiming to
be the heir to the byzantine Empire,
has never ceased to cast longing eyes
upon Constantinople, but always some
obstacle interviewed when that capital
seemed within her grasp.
The Turk has been in Europe since
1453-forty years before Columbus dis
covered this continent. A glance at
the United States and at the Turkey
of today, is a very striking object les

pie.
