ARCHER X. OF P'S
HOLD BARBECUE
And are Addressed by Hon S.
J. Hilburn, Grand Chancel-
Ior of Florida.

The barbecue and picnic given by the
Archer lodge, Knights of Pythias last
Friday the 18th inst, is said TO have
been one of the most enjoyable affairs
ever held at that place. The early part
of the day, according TO the Gainesville
Sun, was taken up with races, jumping
contests, etc., followed by the diStribu-
ton of prizes TO the winners.
AT II a. m. Mr.. w. H. Powell, Chan
cellor Commander of the Archer lodge,
gave the crowd short address, welcom-
ing them in the name of Archer knights;
in closing he introduced the mayor of
the city, Mr.. c. w. Baldwin, who, in a
few wellchosen words, extended the
freedom of the city TO all present, fol-
lowing which an outline was given of the
aims and objects of Pythianism as an Or
der and the application of these princi-
pies as shown by the lodge at Archer
The Archer knights, in order to prop.
erly crown the events of the day, had
planned for an address on Pythianism
by Grand Chancellor of the State, Hon.
S. ]. Hilburn of Palatka, and following
an introduction by Mayor Baldwin, Mr.
Hilburn held the undivided attention of
all while he went into the history OF the
order, its origin, purposes and unmeas-
urable good it has accomplished since
its organization. Mr. Hilburn's address
was treat seldom given to any crowd
and that it was thoroughly appreciated
was shown by the hearty applause which
frequently interrupted his remarks He
not only did the order of Knights of
PythiaS untold good in this vicinity, but
succeeded in making warm friends for
himself of all who met him or had the
pleasure of hearing his address.
The barbecue and dinner was all that
could be desired and congratulations for
the Knight were heard on all sides.
AS fitting end for the day the Archer
base ball team succeeded Sn beating
their strongest rivals, Cedar Key, with a
score of 2 TO 0, in one of the best and
cleaneSt games ever seen on the Archer
grounds. In second game of five in
nings Cedar Key redeemed themselves,
winning by score of TO from Archer.

List of Putnam County Pensioners.

List of Putnam County Pensioners.
That Florida pays out big amounts in
pensions TO Confederate veterans will be
seen from the report of the state board
of pensions recently filed with Governor
Gilchrist, covering period from Octo-
ber /, 1909, to March 1, 1911. Hillsbor-
ough county leads all others of the state,
with the sum of %3,774.5 81, followed by
Alachua with $5S, ,SSS.32. The entire
amount paid out by the board during the
period covering the report is given as
$946, ,653.21
The present law, which is most lib
eral one, has been in operation since
July /, 1909, and between that time and
March 1, 1911, as many as 6,4l4 claims
have been filed with the board, of
which number 5,9O5 were allowed.
Stricken from the list were 143 names
for statutory reasons. In this connec-
ton 500 claims are pending, which
were considered, but not allowed for
various reasons. Florida pays higher
rate per annum in pensions, and has a
more liberal levy than any other of the
states that formed the Confederacy. 1t
the present law continues in force, the
indications are that after 1912 the tax
levy of four mills as authorized by the
law will produce greater fund than
needed for the paying of accepted
claims, as many of the old warriors die
each year.

The residence of Mr.. and Mrs. N. A.
Kent, one of the prettiest in the pretty
little town of San Mateo, this county,
was struck by the lightnings flash last
Friday night, caught fire and was totally
destroyed.
Mr. and Mrs. Kent, who were in the
house at the time, were both shock ed,
but were gotten out as also was con
siderable furniture in the lower rooms.
Mrs. kent'S injuries were for a time
thought TO be serious, but she is now
quite well again. Mr.. Kent's shock was
only momentarily, though he was knock
ed down. Mrs. Kent was for time par
TALLY paralyzed.
The house was good one and one of
the prettieSt in San Mateo, and the loss
is only partially covered by 1000 of in
surance.. Mr.. Kent will probably re-
build
Mr.. and Mrs. Kent are now living in
Palatka They have hosts of friends
here who Sympathize with them in their
loss.

Problem of the Electric Eel.

Invention during the next two or
three centuries will probably be in the
direction of initiating the wonderful
economy and the simple direct methods
of nature, says Professor John G. Nc
Kendrick. Take the electric eel. Its
electric organ is in no sense a storage
battery. but a contrivance by which
electric energy is liberated at the mo-
ment when it is required. At rest the
organ shows so small an electromotive
force that a good galvanometer is re-
quired to detect it, but sudden nerv'
Gus impulse from the cells spinal cord
raises a potential of many volts with
very little heat and so small an ex-
penditure of matter as to defy the
most expert chemist to weigh it.

The very acme of ease is reached In
stairs that have treads twelve to fif-
teen inches broad and risers five to
seven inches high. The run or dis
lance in most houses is too short to
allow of this, but they should come as
near it as the architect of the house
will permit. 1t is so easy to climb
such stairs that one hardly is aware of
any effort.

lumbia remember Mr.. Daniel w Sud-
darth, who was born and reared in and
close to this place He entered the
Federal army when the civil war came,
and when it closed he returned home,
but remained only short time, going
out west. His relatives lost all trace
of him and it was many years before he
was located. His nephews here wrote
to the Pension Department, Washing
ton, d c., and learned that a man by
his name was on the list and that he
lived in San Francisco, Cal. A letter
was forwarded to him and in due course
of time an answer came, stating that
he was we'll and comfortably situated.
Letters continued to come until few
months ago. at which time notice of
his death arrived. He was close to
eighty years of age. d. W. Stone, a
nephew, who lives in Illinois, was with
him when he died. He reached San
Francisco few days before the end.

The 1911 Tobacco Crop.

The following article from the West
ern Tobacco Journal will be read with
interest blythe growers of Adair and
adjoining counties:
1.-The outlook at present is that prep
arations are being made to plant as
large crop in general, of tobacco in
the United States as is usual, except
in some few sections. In the dark to-
bacco sections of Kentucky and Virgin
la there is at present general feeling
to plant larger acreage than last year.
The product of these sections has been
selling for satisfactory prices to farm
ers, and the 1910 crop is virtually out
of the hands of the growers. The ac-
tivity that has prevailed among the
buyers of dark tobacco the past season
has impressed the planters with the
idea that the consumption is keeping
ahead of the production, therefore the
incentive for large crop of dark to-
bacco. The future of the Burley is
problematic, but everything indicates
that an average crop will be attempted.
1t would be well for the Kentucky to-
bacco grower to ponder awhile before
going to the extreme in cutting out the
production of Burley bearing in mind
that 1t is spreading in other States
There may be some curtailment in the
production of bright tobacco in the
eastern part of North Carolina, owing
to the high price of cotton, as it is q
cotton growing section. The same may
be said of South Carolina, but there is
new territory opening for the cultiva-
ton of bright tobacco there. 1t i:
generally believed that in the old belts
of Virginia and North Carolina the
usual acreage will be planted In the
cigar leaf growing States there will b.
no decrease of the acreage planted -

For Better Citizenship.

The Union meeting at the Presbyte-
rian church, last Sunday night, was
largely attended, and several very en-
thusiastic speeches were delivered
The theme was for better citizenship.
ED. T. 7. Williams was to have pre-
sided over the meeting, and Mrs. Will
liams was on the program for a paper,
but unfortunately both of these people
were sick and could not attend, to the
regret of all present.
Mr.. G. P. Smythe led off in twenty
five minutes speech, making a very
pointed talk, advancing manv ideas for
making the citizenship of Adair county
better than it really is. He had no
hesitancy in telling people of their
meanness, when teStifying before a
grand jury and even before court of
justice, the Misrepresentation in giving
in their tax lists, etc.
Mr.. Smythe was followed by Rev. B.
NJ. Currie, who is a gentleman who
never fails to speak his sentiments,
using no uncertain language in present
ing his views. 1t was a fine speech,
and it is needless to say that it was
highly appreciated by the congregation:
Mr.. Currie was followed by Rev. D.
H. Howerton, Ed. Huffaker and DIR.
U. L. Taylor, who heartily endorsed all
that had been said.
Rev. j. R. Crawford, who presided,
closed the discussion with some very
pointed remarks. This manner of pro
cedure was inaugurated by the misis-
tiers of Columbia and Adair county,
and the fight will continue until gooG
results become convincing.
