WASHINGTON TO
HAVE A COUNTY
EXHIBIT HERE
w. {. AYcock SAYS THAT AGRI-
CULTURAL PRODUCTS OF THIS
COUNTY WILL BE IN EVIDENCE
AT THE FAIR.

That Washington county will have
an exhibit at the Pensacola Interstate
Fair this fall is now an assured fact,
according to Secretary and General
Manager n. ]. Lillard, following a con-
versation yesterday morning with w.
E. Aycock, of Moultrie, Ga, who is
much interested in the farming in
terests of Washington county and who
is a member of the firm of Dekle &
Aycock, of Chipley. which is one, of
the largest real estate firms in the
county.
Mr.. Aycock, who was the originator
of the Pensacola to Moultrie scout car
trip last year, under the auspices of
the Pensacola Commercial Association
and the Moultrie Board of Trade, is
here on business connected with this
highway proposition, but called upon
Mr.. Lillard yesterday to tell him that
he was going to take up the matter of
an exhibit from Washington county as
soon as he returns to Chipley Not
only would his company foster the
movement to bring the exhibit here
he said, but would also send man
along with the exhibit and would
probably take the exhibit to the Chi
cago Land Show, to be held Nov. %.
Mr.. Lillard said Mr.. Aycock was
very enthusiastic and said that
Washington county would send a good
exhibit and would be a county to
reckon with when the premiums are
awarded.

Parcels Post
May Be Reality.

One Of the most important planks in
the platform adopted by the Baltimore
convention is the promise Of the adop-
ton Of the parcels post system.
The great mass Of the people Of this
country have desired this for many
years, but the Republican party in its
fostering care of monopolies and trusts
has always decided against this popu-
lar innovation. Now, at last, the
chances are that the people will obtain
their demands.
It has been said with a great deal of
truth that three reasons existed why
congress has not established this en-
terprise. These are the Adams Fix
press Company the United Express
Company and the Wells, Fargo & Com
pany Express. It Is true that aside
from the express companies, there has
been little opposition to the adoption
Of the parcels post.
The giant express corporation has
for a number of years maintained a
kind of propaganda to fight this reform
and it has by constant and repeated
declarations caused a few people to
believe that the parcels post might
prove detrimental to the village and
country merchant, This idea Is en-
tirely erroneous as there is not a class
of citizens that will be more directly
benefited by the parcels post than tbs
owners Of small village and country
stores.
Several years ago the president o.
the United States appointed a Rural
Life Commission to inquire into the
general conditions Of country living
and to ascertain why rural communl-
ties are not developing as rapidly az
urban centers.
Parcels post is the answer to this
1t viii be a greater boon to country
people than either the long distance
telephone or rural free delivery Of the
mails. It will directly aid the rura
citizens and, by causing an immediate
and large reduction in the rates charged
by the express companies, will be Of
practical use to every citizen Of the
country.

President Taft's
Poor Political Advisers.

Facing defeat that will probably be
something in the nature of a landslide,
President Taft will have time now to
look back over the situation and see
what failure he made in the selec-
ton of his cabinet advisers.
William Howard Taft went into the
White House the most liked president
in the last half century. Everybody
wished him well and nearly everybody
able executive officer. His announce
ment that he would choose a cabinet
of able lawyers, was hailed with delight
by most people. He did this, but the
result was a complete disappointment
With the exception of Secretary OF
Agriculture Wilson, whose administra-
ton during the past four years has
been anything but desirable, and OF
Secretary Of the Navy Won L. Meyer
whose mistakes have been many, all
Of the cabinet members have been
high class corporation lawyers, whose
environment and training have LED
them from, rather than towards, the
people.
Each Of them has made big political
blunders and these blunders have in
every instance been accentuated by the
grim tenacity with which the president
clings to his i'll chosen ministers.
Dickinson was a mistake, Knox was
a blunder and Ballinger was all but g
national disgrace. With all his blus-
tering Wickersham has never sent any

Prize Fights May Go
Across Mexican Border

The entire country is to be con-
graduated on the fact that the recent
so called prize fight at Las Vegas, New
Mexico, caused scarcely a ripple of
excitement in any part of the country
Since the manly art Of boxing and
of self defense lost its caste and fell
out Of the realm of clean and whole
some sports into it's present status,
thouands Of level headed people never
read of one of these fiascos without
wishing it were possible for both con-
testants to be badly licked. Since the
farce at the divorce colony Of Reno

been on the decline and it will soon
be found difficult to find community
on American soil that viii tolerate an
other of these disgraceful affairs
Mexico has long delighted in the bull
fight. but whether that country will

pugs pound each others carcasses for
gain. cannot be prophesied.
With each recurring match Of ma
tional scope, fewer and fewer repre-
sentative men OF standing visit the
ringside.
The trotters have all but been
knocked from under the moving pic

was one of the sources of the prize

Frequently the Commercial Asso-
citation is called upon to provide quar-
tiers for a new enterprise attracted to
the city, and this work would be
greatly facilitated if a comprehensive
list of available property were on
hand.
In submitting lists it is requested
that location, size of property, acre
age or dimension Of building, number
Of floors, and distance from railroad
sidings, with approximate selling
price, be included. This listing will
prove of mutual advantage to the
Commercial Association in locating de-
sirable tenants, while at the same
time the work is greatly facilitated.

Thos. A. Johnson, secretary of the

appreciated by Mr.. Johnson.
The letter follows:

My Dear Sir: Please accept my
sincere thanks for your cordial tele-
gram of congratulation.
Please, also, pardon this too formal
acknowledgment and the delay in re-
plying. Both are due to the physical
impossibility of answering personally
the thousands of kind friends who
have sent me their good wishes.
Faithfully yours,

From the hickevviIIe Clarion.

From the HickeyVille Clarion.
Mr.. Lemuel Hilliker is here from the
west to visit his brother, Mr.. Anne
Hil1iker, proprietor of our general
store, also Goldfish, ice cream and no.
tary public. Lemuel has not been able
to visit his brother here in nineteen
years, as he has been in the peniten-
tiary for that length of time.
Arson Frisby, our well known
banker, is expecting to, become a bene-
factor soon by presenting his home
town with fine hearse.
Grandma Perkins, who has been in
i'll health for twenty years, is very
poorly at the present writing. and is
only able to do light work, such as
driving the road grader for the town
ship. 1t is feared that she will not
linger in our midst very long.
Mr.. Rem Hanks, the popular and eff
ffcient station agent at the railroad
depot, informs the Clarion that the
trains will now be only two hours and
forty minutes late instead of three
hours, as formerly during the winter
months.
There is some concern over the
safety of Mr.. Elmer Jones, our con-
genial crayon portrait canvasser, who
left this town two days ago on can
wasting trip. It is feared that he has
met with foul play, as no picture post
