Bones and Stone Slabs Hint at Pre-
historic Lodge.

JACKSONVILLE. Fla. February -
The story has Just leaked out of the dis
covery Of the remains of a seeming pre-
historic Masonic Lodge or consistory, and
a mysterious island in Charlotte harbor
near Gaspjarila pass. by Sovereign Grand
Commander James d. Richardson of the

and DR.. J. II. Mccormick, 33d degree
honorary of Mobile Ala.
These high Masons slipped down quietly
to make explorations. and the guide, who
had found the cave. pilOted them to the
spot. On their arrival at the cave they
were confronted with human skulls and
croSSboneS. and in the cave were found
three stone slabs with mysterious char
acters inscribed thereon. They copied the
characters, and part of them have been
rendered into this free English verse.

realm of peace,
Where human prying is forgot and hui
man follies cease"
Many other trophies having "A masonic
significance We're found. The party spent
the night in the cave and have been
very reticent concerning their trip.
Whether some humorous Mason in the
near past arranged the cave for a joke
or whether they have made a real dis
covery is not yet made clear, and the
masonic brethren of this city who have
heard of 1t are divided in opinion.
Sovereign Grand Commander Richard

experience in the mysterious cave.

DIXIE IS ADVANCING
Great Strides Taken Indus
triaI|y, Says Bennett.
SEES GREATER FUTURE
Panama Canal Will Benefit South
More Than Other Sections,
He Declares.

The south and it's resources was the
subject of an illustrated lecture delivered
last night at the University Club by
Claude n. Bennett Mr. Bennett showed
the great strides which the southern
states have taken industrially in recent
years.
Mr. Bennett declared that the opening
Of the Panama canal would mean more
for the southland than for any other sec
ton Of the country. Trade of the entire
world would center then in the Caribbean
sea, he said.
He pointed out the strategic position oc-
cupied by the south because Of it's nat
ural resources and the fact that certain
of the great crops demanded by the peO-
pies of the world were produced there.
He mentioned in particular the cotton
crop. More than two-thirds of the en-
tire crop of cotton produced in the world
comes from the southern states.
Control of Cotton Prices.
AS soon as the cotton growers of the
southern states dictate the prices of the
cotton which they raise to the persons
wishing to purchase it, instead of accept
Ing the prices which those persons are
willing to offer for the cotton. the pro-
ducers will have made a big step for
ward. he said, and the producers are
taking means to bring this about.
The south. too, is particularly favored
as to navigable streams and water power,
said Mr.. Bennett. He pointed out that of
the H600O miles OF navigable streams in
the United States 1900 miles are to be
found in the south. The water power OF
the south still undeveloped except for a
very small fraction, is enormous he said
Mineral Resources.
Mr.. Bennett referred to the mineral re-
sources Of the south, speaking OF the I'M
limited quantities Of cement good for
building purposes, which are to be found
there. Gold is mined. In, the southern
states. too. but. said Mr.. Bennett why
should southerners trouble with mining
gold when they are producing cotton
crop worth billion dollars a year. when
the entire gold output Of the world in a
year is worth only about one-half that
AMOUNT
The work which is being done to i'm
prove and build roads, which will enable
the farmers Of the south to get their
produce to the markets at low cost, was
mentioned by Mr.. Bennett. He said that
about S46.OO.0O0 is being spent on the
roads each year in the south.
Mr. Bennett told his audience of the
oversee railway which runs to Key
West Fla, and Of the boat railway by
which 1t is proposed to take passengers
directly to Havana. Cuba.

Creates Reputation for Integrity.
The son Of a Swiss minister, himself Of
an engaging personality, Bauder easily
had created for himself in his native land
reputation for business integrity. The
consul persisted in his charges when he
was doubted and the Swiss government

Chicago to trace Bauders deals. Bauder

One man, Conrad Leimbacher. invested

The old man borrowed enough money to

Bauder had given the old man his per-

Think Expense Justified.

Considerable expense is involved in yes

transportation charges, but the officials
believe that this is justified by existing
conditions.
1t is believed. too, that the moral effect,
probably to be produced upon the ex-
treme elements in Mexico, by a demon
stration OF a disposition of the United
States to deal firmly with any relapse into

a most convincing argument Tor peace,
in that the representatives of such for
eign governments could see at a glance
the tremendous resources and wonderful

Of the various exhibits and the NANTES
