| portation men and prominent manu-

| best possible way to quarantine the

meet modern conditions, remove lint
cotton from the quarantine list, one
Of the most important changes effect
ed since the first agreement between

1892. DR.. W. e. Kinds of Alabama
will be the permanent president OF
the organization, while A. F. Coma
die of South Carolina will be secre-
tary. The last meeting was held in

| ing recommendation for articles to

state entimologists of proper training

VOTE OF CLEARWATER
is CAUSING TROUBLE.
Alleged Irregularities In Vote Cast
at County Seat to Be Thrashed
to the Bottom.

St. Petersburg.-There is dissension
in the new county of Pinellas even
though it has not been officially born.
The trouble is the alleged unfairness
of the recent election at Clearwater,
the proposed county seat being the
offending member of the family, and
Edgar Harrison, chairman of the De-
mocratic central committee and At
torney j. S. Davis, of this city, and
John S. Taylorof Largo, went to Tai
lahassee to set the matter before
Governor Gilchrist in a hope that
the Clearwater vote will be thrown
out.
Clearwater was, it is alleged, too
anxious to elect their favorites and
voted men who have not been resid-
ents of the city for more than two
weeks, while one gentleman from
Largo, after voting in his home dis
trict, visited Clearwater and, 1t is
alleged, cast another ballot. he being
allowed to do so on account of the
laxity with which the election was
held. When the. county Democratic
committee met, a motion to exclude
the Clearwater vote was lost by the
vote of six to four. The elected
candidates were certified to the COVER
not as required in the act, but a
minority report followed and also
requesting him to withhold appoint
ments until conversant with the facts.
The clerk of the Clearwater election,
confessed, it is said, to allowing a
dozen illegal votes to be cast, but
previous election results almost prove
that there were nearly sixty.

Philosophy of Health.

This philosophy of health may be
summed up in three words: Work,
wash and pray" The greatest bless.
ing that man enjoys-as is realized
is his ability and opportunity to work.
Habits of personal cleanliness elevate
and civilize man. The firm holding of
faith that urges man to pray builds
character and forms habits that lead
him to high places of thought and en-.
deaver.

Chinese Music,

The notes of Chinese music read, like
the written characters, from right to
left, and the intervals of the scale are
different from those of the scale adopt
ed by the nations-of the west The
music is not very harmonious and
sounds meaningless and jangling to
western ears, but it has a pretty
musical cadence that makes it attrac-
tive and interesting in spite of its FIRE,
