IN THE UNITED STATES
By AssocIatea Press.


Washington, Oct. 21.-"MOTe meat

the charges of incompetency and care
Iessness made at the convention of

The charges were voiced last night
by Miss Caroline BARTLETT Crane, of

sorry this isn't one of the furnaces
that they tip up to pour the steel, but
we'll have to make out the best we

could only shine with such an unpity-
ing impact of its light that the eyes
would shrink and cover before it.
And as the dazzling liquid pours, up

grove of tail palms Of scin-

stalk and its OutspTeading top, in an
eye-twinkle. No sight l ever saw can

pepsia, Sick Headache, BilioUsness
Constipation, Gripping, etc. Your
case is no different-you are a stom-
ach sufferer, though You may "ail it

Plan TO Educate Ten
Boys at State University |
Continued from First Pags.)

pay for the ten scholarships
(viz: transportation to and from
Gainesville and board while there) to
the three-months agricultural course
Of the State University, payable upon
demand to the order OF G. A Water
man, secretary of the Chamber Of
Commerce, said monies TO be dis
bursed by him for the purpose stated,
said scholarships to be awarded by
him so as to result In the greatest
spread Of scientific agricultural knowF
edge IN the county
The movement had the
Immediate Endorsements
OF every gentleman present and be-
fore the meeting had adjourned a sub
stantial sum was subscribed by those
present for the purpose OF carrying
the plan TO successful end. Speak
ing generally, the success of Mr..
Bingham's very excellent idea de-
ponds wholly upon a voluntary sub
scription totalling at least $3.50, but
81 900 could be used to fine advan-
tage. Board and transportation will
cost for each student not less than
4T5. Ten OF them will be $3.50. That
is the least amount that will have to
be IN hand before anything like sue
cess can be accomplished. In addi-
ton to the signed amounts last
night, several others were certain
when public-spirited citizens could be
seen today, and Mr.. Bingham expects
10 hand in to the secretary this even
ing lists containing the full amount
desired. He will personally call upon
business men during the day.
Discussing the action Of the meeting
last night, Mr.. Waterman said:
TT is q splendid idea. l win an
nounce. as soon as 1 can, those whom
u will call into conference to assist
me In determining first how, and then
whom. TO select for the business mems
scholarships at the agricultural col
lSge. Ny idea is that we should send
those ten men who will do the most
good when they come home, ire
spective OF their ages, and intelligent
selection along this line will repay
Pensacola a hundred fold for the cost
OF the scholarships"
Meouarrie Speaks.
Following the opening of the meet
ing and announcement OF the purpose
for which IL was called, Mr. Thornton
took occasion to pay compliment TO
khe gentlemen who were to deliver
addresses, saying the state was par
Sicularly fortunate in having the ser
vices OF two men whose equal in their
respective lines of endeavor was not
20 be easily found. He said they
were going to tell something of what
they had observed during their travels
In Escambia county, and he first in
txoduced Mr.. McQuarrie.
Mr.. McQuarrie at the outset showed
the value Of immigration. illustrating
the point by showing that fifty new fam
lilies would mean an expenditure OF an
other $25, 900 yearly in the county, and
he said conditions were not unfavor-
able to immigration, even IL 1t was a
fact that there was less waste land in
Escambia than in any other county in
the state. He dwelt at length upon
an idea tried out successfully in Gin
ton county. Miss, when an agricuE
tural commissioner was named in the
person Of an intelligent farmer. So
