y The Paper Shell Pecan =:
By George Hue1sbeck Supt Pensacola SeedNursery Co.

During the last decade or so the
people OF the south have gradually
come to realize that King Cotton could
not always be depended upon to rein
force depleted bank accounts and the
tendency to vary crops has grown de-
cidedly.
With this has come, too, a gradual
tendency to try out fruit and nut trees,
SO as to bring in further revenues from
the soil.
Probably the most satisfactory of
these, even though the industry is still
In Its Infancy, is the propagation of
the paper shell pecan. He who was
wise enough ten or more years ago to
plant a paper shell grove is today
reaping a most bountiful reward. Two
large groves over in South Georgia re-
Gently changed hands at 81, 900 per

Every person who owns tract of

the paper shell does not thrive much

The ideal soil for the paper shell
is dark sandy loam with red or yellow
clay subsoil, and no where in all the

ELECTION AND
CITY TROUBLES
SOME OF THE PROVISIONAL
TOWNS ARE STRONG AND DE-
TERMINED IN REJECTING THE
WoRkNoMEN CANDIDATES FOR
OFFICE.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Nov 6.-Whi1e Battersea
has been electing a colored man to be
its mayor, the second time in the his
tory of the country that a native of
the West Indies has reached that po-
sition, some of the provincial towns
have either declined or placed OBJ
stacIes in the way of workingmen
who aSp1red to the Ch1ef maglStracy
of their town.
The most noticeable case Of the re-
lection of a workingman candidate
occurred at York. Here, as in all Eng
lish cities, the mayor is elected by the
city council and invariably the senior
alderman is chosen. AT York Alder
man j. H. Hartley, the senior member
of the board Of aldermen, a railway
shunter, was by all the presidents Of
the council entitled to the position and
he was actually offered and had ac-
copied it. When the council met to
ratify the election, however, the I'm
ioniSt members offered candidate in
hts place, and succeeded in defeating
the workingman choice. This was in
spite of a resolution passed at a great
mass meeting of the citizens calling on
the council to adhere to it's original.
decision. AS result the laborites
throughout the country are charging
the members of the York city council
with a downright act of snobbishness.
In other towns, notably Bradford,
Yorkshire, where a workingman elect
ed to the city council was dismissed
iDY MS employers ana warrington,
where the new mayor received similar
treatment, certain classes have been
showing their objection to workingmen
gaining an ascendency in civic affairs.
The colored mayor of Battersea is
John Archer. He is the son of a. West
Indian, but was himself born in Liver
pool. His wife, who is colored, is a
native of Canada. Mr.. Archer was
elected by the votes of the Progress
sive or Liberal members of the Batter
sea council.
Preparing for War.
The Rosyth naval base, which Eng
land is building at immense cost to
harbor her North sea fleet and better
enable her to meet any attack from
Germany, will be completed year
ahead of contract time.
Commenced in 1909, the contractors
were given until 1916 to finish their
work. but it is now announced that the
base will be ready for use in 1915, al
though many additions have been
made to the original plans. The orr
gina1 scheme called for a high level

of the Aquitania an excep tionally high
