FLORIDA DEFENDED

Editor Star-An article published In
the Towanda Review and copied by the
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Record, and headed,
Southern Farms Fake" is a libelous
slander against Florida. Nine tenths of
the land offered for sale in Florida is
just as represented, tho it is admitted
that the other tenth is very poor and
only worth two bits an acre; and it is
further admitted that there may be one
or two fake land companies which are
trying to sell this tenth to the north
ern Suckers" but Uncle Sam will soon
find them out and stop them.
1t is gratifying to be able to state
that reliable land companies are offer
ing for sale only such lands as are ca
pable of and have proved to be pro-
ductive under proper cultivation, and
when DIR. c. S. Means and Fred r.
Prince say that the reliable land COM
panies are offering for sale to unsus-
pecting land buyers unproductive and
poor lands, their statements are false,
and not worthy of consideration, but,
in justice to those land companies do
ing an honest business here, a reply is
necessary.
We are willing to stake our reputa-
tion that the man mentioned in the ar
ticle, who owns 10000 acres of land on
| a lake in this state, does not only not
own 10000 grains of sand but was new
| er inside the state.
We do not wish to advertise the Ma
| tional Land Company but, in due re-
gard to it, and from what we know OF
the lands it has sold in Marion, Lake
and Sumter counties, we can prove II
| has not in any way misrepresented the
said lands.
| All a land buyer needs to do Is to
come to this section, and he will see a
community of prosperous farmers. OF
new settlers, who get cold feet when
the task of clearing new land con
fronts them, and you will also find
some buyers who misconstrue what
| the land companies write in their lit
erature. and we positively know OF
some who came here with the idea
orange groves.
We positively know that every new
settler in this section is well pleased
and making good, but they have the
work and the push behind them; the,
are not lazy, good-for-nothing ROLLINS
stones who imagine they can loaf ant
see crop grow at the same time
Such people are not wanted here.
Returning to DR.. Means and the chic
clerk OF Bradford county, Mr.. Prince
we are willing to wager they wer
never in Florida, or. IL they were, the.
Judged the country from rapidly NOV
ing trains. We are also sure they neve
visited Marion county Settlers.

SHUT BARS At SUNSET
IL the Object of Representative Math-
evs' Bill, which VIII Probably
Become Law

Tallahassee, April 14.-Floridians
who want to take a drink" will have
TO do ii before s o'clock in the evening
in the future. if a bill offered by Rep
resentative Eugene Mathews of Brad
ford county, passes in this legislature.
1t is now in the hands of the commit
tee of temperance of the House, and
they will in all likelihood report it ia
vorabIy.
The bill says that from and after
the passage Of this act it shall be un-
lawful for any person, firm or corpora
tion to sell, barter, or exchange or
give away any spurious, vinous or
malt liquors between the hours of 6
o'clock p. m. and o'clock a m. of the
next day" This bill also prohibits the
sale of liquors on Sundays.
Senator Sloan has a bill that will
prohibit, if passed, the shipping of
liquors from a wet county into a dry
one. The author claims that the state
cannot regulate interstate shipment,
but that it can regulate the traffic
within it's own bounds. Some say that
the measure would be found to be un-
constitutional if it were passed. Oppon-
ents of the bill claim that it would put
out of business the Florida wholesal-
ers and make rich those of other
states, for Floridians would have to
order from out-state mail order houses,
it being unlawful to trade with the
houses of Jacksonville, Pensacola,
Tampa, Apalachicola or any of the
states other wet centers. Mr.. Sloan
says that some good lawyers with
| whom he has consulted have told him
| that his bill is constitutional.
Want tn Prohibit Solicitation of Sales
| Mr.. Cade, of Volusia, has introduced
bill to prohibit the solicitation OF
sales in dry counties, directly, indi-
rectly or by any means whatsoever.
| which sounds as if circulars could not
| be sent to the residents OF dry counties
| by liquor dealers if his bill were to be-
come law. The penalty provided is
Imprisonment not exceeding one year
or fine not exceeding one thousand dol
lars" 1t is very drastically drawn up
and would probably accomplish it's pur-
pose, if passed.

from Being Killed Under an
Engine

Boston. April 13.-With his foot
wedged between the rails at Riverside.
Gilbert McCluskey. aged nine, saw a
passenger train rushing in his direc-

death for the locomotive TO reach the
point where he stood, the boy waved
a newspaper in the air TO attract the
attention of the engineer.
The engineer appeared not to see
him. but suddenly the locomotives
whistle shrieked. the brake shoes
clamped the wheels and the engineer
was seen leaning out of the cab win
dow measuring the distance between
his engine and the boy with his eye. A
moment later the train stopped a short
distance from the lad.
The danger over. McCluskey fell in a
faint on the tracks. Willing hands
soon raised him. In a few minutes ne
regained consciousness and was taken

ALL SCHOOLS NAME
COACHES FOR NINE
Several Teams Have Not
Yet Selected Captains
for 1911.

While the captains of the different
high school baseball teams in the city
have not all been selected, coaches are
being gotten into line for the coming
season.
Western. II is understood, will sign
up Curly Byrd, who has charge Of
the track team at present and who had
the baseball team last spring. Byrd was
forced to give up the Job last year. as
he left for the West. Myers will cap
tain the Red and White this year and
expects 10 have plenty of material.
At Central. under the leadership Of
Boetler, the choice OF baseball coach
lies between Cy Macdonald and Thorn
as, who had charge of the football team
last fall. Central lost many able play
ers this year and may have difficulty in
getting as strong a team together as
represented the school last season.
The coach for the Business team has
not been selected. The services Of Will
lam Peet will be missed. as under his
tutelage the school won its first cham
pionship.
Tech has obtained the services Of
William Peet. who has coached the
Business team for the past two years
c. w. Hecox will have charge Of the
baseball team to take care Of the fac
ulty supervision. The captain has as
yet not been named and 1t is expected
that the selection will be postponed un-
til after the midyear examinations. The
decision of captions position may be
left to the discretion of the coach.
1t is.thought that Eastern will short
ly sign up Donnelly, who gave. the
school It's wonderful little football team
last fall. II the Capitol Hill school is 20
be measured in the spring by the sue
cess Of it's football and basketball teams

G. W. U. Athletic Outlook.

From one close to the present admin
istration at George Washington Uni
versity, It has been learned that there
is decided opposition to athletics, in
any form. at the institution unless the
students and alumni can show some
plan whereby the financing of the diff
ferent teams can be satisfactorily. ar
ranged.
The edict of the board of Trustees
abolishing the athletic council means
that, after the indoor meet at Conven-
ton Hall, sports will not be recognized,
and it is decidedly improbable that the
powers that be will allow any unofficial
team. to compete ulder the name of the
university.
Football is absolutely barred, and the
outlook for even a chess team is de-
cidedly gloomy unless some enterpris-
ing young men can convince the trus-
tees that the deficit can be met and
athletics be put on a sound financial
basis.

TOURNEY ON MAT
IS ISARRANGEDHERE
District National Guard Will Hold Matches for Amateur
Wrestlers- Shea in Line for Vice Presidency ifs.
A. A-General Comment of Sports
BY THOMAS KIRBY.

ARRANGEMENTS were today completed
for what promises to be the most sue
cessful wrestling tournament ever held
here under the auspices of the Amateur
Athletic Union.
The AFFAIR will be held at the Center
Market Gymnasium under the auspices
of the District National Guard Athletic
Association, and will be a strictly
Washington event, the entries being
limited to the grapplers of this city who
are regularly registered in the A. A. U. .
So many entries are expected that 1t
has been deemed advisable not to at
tempt to hold the whole tournament on
q single evening, so the preliminaries
will be on Tuesday, February II. and
the finals will be decided two nights
later.
Frank Lockhead, who has been espe-
cially active in arranging the event, has
already received an unusually long list
Of candidates for the militiamen's
SQUAD, Of which he is instructor, and the
Memorial Athletic Club. where he also
teaches wrestling, will enter Its whole
team in the tournament.
At the Y. NJ c. A, Joe Grant, the
former champion of the South, is work
ing OuL Will Oil CAbAAuSi"S'N -
cluding several veterans, and the as
socfatfon is expecting TO be represented
by at least half a dozen athletes.
Work at Gallaudet is already well un-
der way, under the guidance of MI
Mosley For years wrestling has been
one of the most popular of indoor sports
at Kendall Green, and the collegians
plan to have men in every class on the
card.
Prof. Joyce, at Carroll Institute. has
number Of young wrestlers whom ne
considers promising, and is hoping 10
win fair share of the attractive prizes
that will be offered for the bouts.
Following the D. C. n. 6, tournament
will come the South Atlantic AssocIa-
tion wrestling championships.
