try for the Senate

ayers Of Representative Adam Byrd,
John Kyle. II. II. Street. and Percy re-
allied that all the anti-Fardaman mem
bers Of the Legislature must center on
one man if they would defeat the former
governor. that the finish came.
In the Lead.

house last night when the final vote was
taken. The rLmOr had spread through
out Jackson that a combination against
Nardaman had been effected and the
state house was packed. When the vote
OF the caucus was announced pande-
uIonium broke loose. and Percy's and
Nardaman's speeches could not be
heard.

Nardaman announced his intention to
run again. The action of the caucus
will be ratified by the Legislature this
afternoon.

THREE COUNTIES ADVERTISE
Business Men in Lynchburg. Va,
and Vicinity Seek Settlers.
Similar Movements start in Arkan-
sas and Also at Suf-
folk, Va.

Three counties Of Virginia-Amherst,
Bedford, and Campbell-are taking part
in cooperative advertising effort Each
board has contributed 500 and the Lynch
burg Chamber Of Commerce. $500. This
amount has been spent in large part upon
a booklet that describes soils and farm
ing opportunities in the three counties.
The preparation of the booklet and its
advertising and distribution are attended
to BY the immigration committee of the
Chamber of Commerce of Lynchburg. A
similar plan could be put into effect
wherever commercial organizations work
in harmony with county authorities. It
is a practical way of producing greater
values in the counties by leading to a
greater demand for land and profitable
use Of vacant acres.
The state Of Arkansas viii hold a land
congress at Little Rock March o to % 1t
will be a convention of land owners, bust
ness men, and commercial organizations,
uniting to work out methods and means
of advertising the state. The first para
graph OF the call reads as follows:
"First-The people are land hungry.

homes In the rural districts. where they
can, out of the soil. make that living 10
which they are entitled, and which the
high cost of the articles they consume in

The call has the approval of the Ar
kansas Bureau of Mines, Manufactures.
and Agriculture. and also of the state
land commissioner.

SEVENTY YEARS OF EATING.
In that Time a Man Consumes Nine
ty-five Tons of Food.

IF a man Of seventy years was starving,
Il would probably be little comfort TO him
to think that he had consumed in the
course OF his life 5S94 tons of solid food
and 42% tons of liquid, or about go times
his own weight in both solids and liquids,
but it would be true.
Being a man OF average appetite and
purse. be would have eaten 10 tons OF
bread, which would have made d single
loaf containing 100 cubic feet and ap-
pearing about as large as the average
suburban home, and on this bread he
would have spread one ton of butter. If
his bacon had been cut IN single slice the
strip would have been four miles long.
and his chops. placed end TO end, would
have extended two miles
Twenty ordinary sized buliocks have
supplied him with beef, is tons Of which
he has eaten, along with tons OF fish
and 10000 eggs and $50 pounds OF cheese.
If ne had elected 10 have all his vege-
tables served at once they would have
come TO him In train of cars. the pod
containing all his peas being over three
miles long.
He has had 1900 pounds of sugar. 800
pounds of salt, pounds Of pepper, and 100
cans of mustard. Three pints Of liquid a
day would have amounted to $500 pints,
or 4234 tons If he had been a smoker he
would have burned about half a ton of
tobacco in a pipe; or, if he preferred cigar
cites. would have smoked about a quarter
Of a million

Of new hotels Of the most modern kind
are being built
OF course, success is sure TO follow on
the stamp of public approval, but in the
case of the great popularity of the new
American-made sea, the causes are easily
apparent One. at least, is psychological
The American is a lover Of variety and
novelty and the beaten paths Of travel
in the Old World, from which not one
person in a hundred ever thinks OF di-
crossing. are naturally less attractive TO
him than the new and ever-varying at
fractions of a region almost at his own
front door. where he can visit ruins. watch
cock fight, go fishing for sharks, or
any other of hundred things which are
always waiting to be done The Ameri-
can, I'm a word. has not the Europeans
respect for routine and tradition.
Caps Old Mediterranean.
When IT comes down to the romantic at
mosphere. the visitor 10 the American
Mediterranean need concede nothing 10
the European traveller. He finds IL in
chunks. The climate, the palms. the lure
of the pearl fisheries. and the 1.-THE brown
divers, the mysteries of V0odoo worship,
and its weird rites, traditions of pirates.
and buried gold. all these furnish enough
romance to satisfy even the most de-
handing. And as has been said. the
whole area IS literally sportsman's para
disc. Even the enthusiastic baseball fan
can see the great American game played
by experts.
Aside from the communal winter
cruises the Panama canal has undoubt-
edly had a marked effect in drawing
Americans to the winter playground. In
deed. in one sense. it has achieved the
result which caused CONSERVATION on the
part OF a certain man. who on being
told that the Pacific Ocean was lower
than the Atlantic. Immediately demanded
that the digging Of the canal be stopped
at once, lest on its completion the whole
Atlantic would be sucked through into
the Pacific
It is in part, due to the concentration
Of interest in the Canal Zone. IN particu-
lar, and the adjacent territory in general,
that so many visitors have been drawn
to the American Mediterranean. Indeed.
1t now seems certain that before long
the effect of this drawing power will be
felt in Europe, with the result that 1t will
be to the American and not to the Euro
pean Mediterranean that many foreign
ers will make the winter cruises which
are proving so popular here.

WILL BUILD CLUBHOUSE.
Columbia Golf Players Award Con-
tract to Charles T., Langley.

Plans are now far advanced for the
erection of the new $4,000 clubhouse of
the Columbia Cole Club. Plans for the
building. prepared by Frederick B. Pyle.
architect, were accepted by the building
committee several weeks ago. Last week
the contract for the construction Of the
building was awarded to Charles E.
Langley.
The Columbia recently purchased 10
acres of ground beyond Chevy Chase,
with a long frontage on Connecticut ave
nue.. at cost of about $4,000 Stimuli
taneously with the construction of the
clubhouse the course will be put in con-
dition for the players. This course is TO
have eighteen holes, and it is said that
the large tract purchased for the purpose
will lend itself admirably to the pur-
poses of the great Scotch game.
1t is now hoped that both the clubhouse
and the course viii be ready for use next
autumn.
