The call for a meeting at Sanford
Thursday evening. TO take counsel on
ways and means to have the port of
New Smyrna improved, is one that
should be needed by our citizens The
Board Of Trade should send repre-
sentative to attend the meeting and
the city should heartily back up what
ever move is made TO improve this i'm
portant outlet and inlet on the east
coast.
It is not generally known, but New
Smyrna was made a port of entry over
twenty years ago. New Smyrna is one
OF the Oldest places in Florida. A large
Indian town was there when the Span
ish first discovered Florida. The
length Of time the Indians had made it
their habitation is attested by the
small mountain Of oyster shells that
stood in the center of the present town
when Turnbull founded his colony
about a century and a half ago. Turn
bull was an English nobleman, who
brought a colony of Minorcans to the
east coast during the first British oc-
cupation OF Florida, a number of years
before the Revolution. He establish
ed large indigo plantations on the
coast in the neighborhood Of Mosquito
Inlet, and named the place New
Smyrna to please his wife, who was a
Greek girl, born in Smyrna on the
Turkish coast of the Mediterranean.
Turnbull made poems out of his colo
nists and treated them so badly that
they revolted, and marched thru the
country to ST. Augustine. Their de-
scendants form an important part OF
the population of st. Augustine and
Fernandina, with many representa-
tives IN other Florida communities to-
day.
After the breaking up OF TurnbulPs
colony. there was nothing much to
New Smyrna until the United States
annexed Florida and settlers began to
arrive from Georgia. The place was
the scene of several sharp fights dur
ing the Seminole war. 1t was a place
of some Importance during the civil
war, being a favorite resort for block
ade runners Of light draft 1t did not
grow very much until 1886, when a
railroad was extended to it from the
St Johns river. Half a dozen years
later, the East Coast Railway reached
it on the way south. 1t is now a large
and handsome town and has more nat
ural advantages and a better chance OF
being an important seaport than any
other place between st. Augustine and
Miami
New Smyrna lies on the west bank
OF the Hillsboro, which is one of the
chain of tidewater rivers that form 9
natural canal along the east coast Of
Florida. About three miles distant
and a little to the northeast of the
town is Mosquito Inlet, which is the
only inlet of any consequence between
Matanzas and Jupiter. This inlet give:
and receives the tides for the Halifax
and Hillsboro rivers, the former to the
north, the latter to the south Their,
was a time when ships of the larges

draft could cross the bar at the mouth
of this inlet During the civil war,
vessels Of ten and twelve feet often
passed thru it. For twenty years after
the war, good-sized steamers made
regular trips from Jacksonville and
even from Mex York Some Of these
vessels ran TO Daytona, but most of
them made their landing at New
Smyrna With the coming Of the rail-
roads. steamboat traffic died out, and
now 1t is seldom that anything bigger
than a sailboat or gasoline launch
goes thru the inlet. There has never
been any work done on it, and in the
course Of years sand has piled up on
the bar until it would now be difficult
for a vessel drawing more than -four
or FIVE feet to cross it. However, there
Is nothing there that couldn't be
dredged away, and with the expendi-
ture of perhaps hundred thousand
dollars boats drawing twelve to fifteen
feet could enter the inlet and steam
up to the wharves of the town.
New Smyrna IS the eastern terminus
of the Orange City division of the East
Coast Railway, once the Atlantic and
western The other end of that road
is at Blue Springs on the ST. Johns
river Blue Springs is much like Sill

tant from silver Springs about forty
miles in an air line. 1t is only thirty
six miles Of easy grading from the end
of Rentzs log road. eastward of the
lOklawaha to the terminus Of the At
Iantic and Western at Blue Springs.
1t would be a great thing for all
Central and South Florida if Mosquito
Inlet was dredged out, enabling New
Smyrna to take its proper place as an
east coast seaport, and a railroad built
direct from the Oklawaha TO the st.
Johns, giving a short line across the
state that would save the people of
| this section a days journey when they
wanted to go to Volusia or any other
east coast county. New Smyrna on the
| east coast is almost opposite Cedar
Key on the west, and Ocala and De-
Land are on an almost direct line be-
tween them. There are great railroad
and seaport possibilities in these towns
l. and lines, and we should begin work
ling them out at once. Florida is
Isuperbly situated for commerce and
travel if her people would only i'm
prove their opportunities.
| Mr. r. c. Muncaster, secretary Of the
Board of Trade, will attend this meet
ing and look out for the interests Of
Ocala Mr.. Muncaster will go at his
own expense, and would be glad of the
company of any other live business
man.

MINIMUM WAGES
TO Be CONSIDERED
QUESTION: or IMPORTANCE TO
EMPLOYERS OF WOMEN AND
CHILDREN is UP FOR ACTION.
MUCH HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT
Original. Bili Gave Industrial Commits
sion the Right to Determine Effect
of Enforcement-Any One Can File
coR.Liaints, Under Provisions.

Madison - The MahOn minimum
wage bill for women and children, If
t passes the assembly in its present
form. may well make employers of
that class Of labor sit mp and take no
tice.
The bill defines, a living wage as
compensation for labor paid, whether
by time, piece. work or otherwise, sufi-
cient to enable the employee receiving
i it to maintain himself or herself I'M
der conditions, consistent with his or
her welfare"
Any one cam file a complaint that
certain employees are not getting a
living wage On complaint being filed
the industrial commission shall inves-
Hgate the charges made in the COM
plant. Furthermore after July 1,
1913, the commission may and after
July i, 1914, shall, on its own initia-
tive Investigate all complaints.
In the original bill, and in the sub
stitute amendment which took the
place of the original bill, it was pro-
yided that the commission, in its de-
termination of q living wage, should,
among other things take into consid-
Grafton, together with the needs of the
employee, the financial condition of the
industry or occupation and the prob
able effect on the establishment OF
the proposed living wage.
All this was struck out by an
amendment offered by Assemblyman
Carl Minkley and adopted by the as
sembly. In consequence all that is left
to be considered by the bill in its pres
ent form is the needs of the employee.

CURRENCY BILL is UP
GLASS MEASURE GOES TO RI.
NANCE BODY.
Provision for Retirement of Present
Bank Notes and Refunding of
Bonds Is Reinserted.

Washington, June 28.-The house
Thursday referred the Banking and
Currency Reform bill to the banking
and currency committee, and prepare
tons were made to begin work on 1t
Immediately. -.
The bill contains series of changes
from the original draft. President
Wilson has given authority that the
measure as it stands shall be known
as ''the administration BILL
There still is fight over the ques-
ton of public hearings, and it is
not likely that the bill will be ready
for action in the house before August
10. The senate will not touch 1t I'M
til the tariff is out of the way.
Reinserted In the bill is the original
proposition for retiring the present
bank notes within twenty years and
the substitution therefor of additional
federal reserve notes. This eliminates
the proposed limit of $50O,00O,0OO in
reserve notes contained in the bill
as originally made public. In replac-
ing the bank notes the government
two per cent. bonds, upon which they
now are issued. would be refunded by
three per cent. bonds without the cir
culation privilege.
The provision allowing country
banks to deposit a part of their re-
serves was revised, and the federal
regional banks we're given the author
ity to fix the rate of discount, subject
to the approval Of the federal reserve
board. The reserve provision now
would require country banks to keep
five per cent. of their reserves in
their own vaults and five per cent. at
the regional reserve bank. The other
five per cent, at banks option,
might be deposited with the regional
bank or go to a correspondent in
central reserve city with the approval
of the federal reserve board.
