New Auto Markers.

Automobile markers for 1914 will be very light green. Secretary Phillips has just ordered 3O,000 of them so as to be sure and have them ready when they are needed. He has had difficulty in getting enough to go around this year owing to the delay in getting them from the manufacturer.
 When asked why green was decided upon the secretary said he didn't know of any more populaf color.
 The new markers are about three inches shorter than the 1913 variety The method of lettering will also be different. Instead of the C represent ing Connecticut there will be the ab. abreviation Conn. arranged vertically on the left Of the license number On the right of the license number will be the figures 1914 also, arranged yertI- cally.
 The difference in the markers for the various cars is as follows:
 Private cars: White letters on green background.
 Manufacturers cars: Green letters on white background with letter M .'i
 Dealer and livery cars: Same as manufacturers except for letters "D' and "L.n
 Motorcycle markers will be arranged just the reverse Of the automobile markers as regards color of background and letters.

Douglas Camp Neeiing

The Douglas camp meeting is in ses- sion this week, but the attendance has not been as large as in some years. On Wednesday the audience numbered about TOO.
 The stockholders meeting was in the tabernacle Wednesday afternoon. Vice president John Short presided. The call of the meeting was read and the secretary read the call of the last meeting. After eieeting secretary and treasurer, Clerk H. N. Brown raised the question as to whether there was quorum. Owing to the absence of C. H. Robinson Of Providence or his failure to send proxy, the meeting was called illegal. MT. Robinson holds 250 shares of stock, about one quarter of all, and his failure to be meeting illegal, as there was no quo rum. The meeting was adjourned subject to the call of the president.
 The 2.30 service was as a memorial service for Deacon George Morse, who died Tn Putnam last winter. MT. Morse was the founder of the Douglas camp meeting association and presi- dent. Brother A. B. Riggs offered prayer in behalf of MT. Morse. The Kentucky sisters sang "How sweet is His love"
 Rev. John Short spoke in memory of George Morse. He said in part: "I am glad men die. There wouldn't be much hope if they didn't. If men didn't die about A dozen of the promi- nent ones would run the world and we would be slaves, but God arranges the thing and cuts it short when they en- | deavor wonderful things.
 "We all knew George Morse. This world will never know how he helped 1t. Not because he was,a good man, but because he was sanctitied with the Holy Ghost and fire.
 "Mr. Morse was rich, but he dis tributed his money abroad and did good with it. He looked after the | kingdom of God. He was laying up his treasure in heaven. so that he could have something to live on when he got there, and he has big bank ae. count there.
 "This campmeeting would never have been if il wasn't for GeorgeMofse. You don't know how the history of this world has been changed on ae- count of George Morse. He bought these campgrounds and he helped a multitude Of people.
 "People could wear je@elry, but George Morse couldn't. People could live in palaces, but George Morse couldn't. He couldn't, for the sake of Jesus Christ.
 IA great man fell, but We didn t know 1t. George Morse had q passion for the well-being oi this world.
 Mrs. C. E. Roberts, Leanora and Jennie Taylor sang "When the angels have lifted the veil"
 Many of the preachers who knew MT. Morse spoke in his memory. Dr. | H, c. Mcbride ot Ocean Grove, N. J. said in part
 II first became acquaidted with Morse many years ago. He wrote me a letter asking my wife and me to as- sist at the Doug as. s.campmeeting He sent me check to cover all expenses. | "When MT. Morse prayed it seemed as though he brought heaven to earth.
 "When he left Ocean Groveifor the | last time he said;
 | "Dr. McBride, if get to heaven first, shall watch for you at the l gates.n

JURY In GAMMAGE CASE
MADE A MISTRIAL
Failed to Reach a Verdict
Yesterday

The Gammage suit against the city
of Americas for alleged personal in
juries sustained by the plaintiff, Mr..
l.. o. Gammage, resulted in mistrial
yesterday. The case had occupied
the time of the city court for the bet
ter part of three days and went to the
jury yesterday morning.
After six or eight hours the jury an
nounced that it would be impossible
for them to agree upon verdict, and
accordingly Judge Harper last night
declared a mistrial.
Mr.. Gammage, an engineer on the
Seaboard, sought to recover $4,000 for
injuries sustained in a fall into an
open ditch near Dodson street, year
ago. 1t is understood that the jury
stood eight to four, the latter number
in favor of the plaintiff.

PARROT AS FIRE ALARM
SAVED LIVES OF GUESTS
Bird Shrieked as the Hotel
BIazed

Tampa, Fla, jan 1S.-The Shrek
ing of a parrot in the Bayview Hotel
at Sarasota, winter resort, about
three O'Clock this morning, probably
saved the lives of a number of guests,
who, aroused by the bird, had barely
time to alarm others in the building
and escape from flames which started
in the north end of the structure.
Landlord Hunton, sleeping on the
second floor, opened his door to get
to the stairway, but was driven back
by smoke and fire. He managed to
get to a window and leaped to ne
ground. Others leaped from win
dows. None were injured.
A guest snatched up the parrots
cage as he passed it and the bird was
saved. The building was destroyed.

OF
PENMANSHIP
INTERESTING
COUNTY TEACHERS Melting
Other Exhibits viii Be Made
at Meetings

Of more than usual interest to the
teachers of the county at their regu-
lar monthly meeting here yesterday
was the exhibit of penmanship that
was made from the various schools.
The exhibits were most gratifying to
County School Commissioner Moore
and to the teachers themselves.
1t will be recalled that the sug-
gestion was made some time ago that
exhibits school work be made from
time to time at the monthly meeting
OF the teachers. In accordance with
this suggestion the first exhibit was
made yesterday. This plan has been
entered into with enthusiasm by both
pupils and teachers so that it will
prove of much benefit in the school
work.
In addition to the exhibit of penman-
ship and other written work shown
yesterday topics of general interest
relative to the conduct of Rotations
and school management occupied the
time of the teachers yesterday.
For the next meeting, which will oc-
cur February Is, the History of Edu-
cation" will be the general subject dis
cussed The chapter on the History
of Education" in the new Teachers
Manual should be used in preparing
ing the following program, which has
h9en arranged for that day:
Earliest and Chinese Education
Miss Emma Hartley.
Greek-Miss Louise Ogburn.
Rousseau-Miss Gennie Harrison.
Pestalozzi-Mr. J. N. Robinson
Herbart-Mr. J. F. Colbert.
Spencer-Mr. R. E. White.
Msnn-Mr. C. F, Wells.
It is desired that the discussions
be as practical as possible; also that
they show the growth and develop
ment of educational methods.

TURKISH PASHA

London, Jan. 18.-Osmad Miami
Pasha, Turkish ambassador to Ger
many, who is in London in connec-
ton with the peace negotiations, is
sued a statement today bitterly ar
raigning the European powers for
their attitude in the joint note deliv-
cred to the porte.
-Four months ago." he said, Ell
rope proclaimed its determination to
maintain the state of things existing
before the war, whatever the result
of the conflict might be- Now, the
powers are making open illusions 70
the possible loss by Turkey of Con-
stantinople and some of the Asiatic
provinces.
What reliance can Turkey place on
the powers promise to exclude all
menace to the security of Turkey,
when Europe has just given tangible
evidence of how little her promises
are WORTH"
with such evidence of European
sympathy Miami Pasha added, mo
body could consider the porte too
exastinfi if it asked for an explana-
ton of what the powers mean by
moral and material support judged
by the efficacy of the benevolent sup
port SO lavishly poured out in the
ambassadorial note.
"The same can be asked about the
powers promise concerning the
Aegean Islands. Even admitting, for
the sake of argument, that Turkey is
ready to yield these islands, how can
she cede them to the powers on
the simple promise that their settle
ment will exclude all menace to the
security of Turkey, when Europe
promises mean so little?"
The greatest reserve is maintained
by the Turkish peace plenipotentiaries
in regard to the note handed to the OF
toman government.
Delegates of the Balkan nations, us
. whole, are relatively satisfied with
the situation, but they don't believe
the end of the negotiations is near,
as the porte is not likely to give a
categorical answer to the note OF
the powers.

THREE TWINS" AT
GLOVER'S OPERA HOUSE

Who was it that said ''the three most
important things in musical comedy
are girls, more girls and still more
girls?" That worthy really should have
had his picture in the hall of fame for
his jest comes very near being philos-
ophy The musical comedy of today
that cannot boast of a chorus of pref
ty young women is doomed; no mat
ter how catchy it's music or how clever
its lyrics, it is condemned craft and
unseaworthy Choruses are the spice,
the flavor of the musical pudding and
success without them is impossible.
In presenting Three Twins" the must
cal comedy to be seen at Glover's OPP
era House on Tuesday, Jan 81, the
management seems to have realized
this fully, for it is safe to say that
no other production on tour offers SO
many attractive girls. 1t was excep-
tionally hard to secure a chorus for
"Three Twins" as, in addition to pass
ing muster regarding appearance and
their singing voices, each member had
to prove herself a dancer of ability
Three Twins" is called a dancing
carnival and every member of the COM
pany, both principals and chorus, must
be able to dance and dance well. There
is nothing that pleases the eye so
much as a bevy of charming girls all
handsomely gowned, gliding graceful
ly through dance number to the ac-
compartment of bright music and well
trained voices. Ten men form the
background on which the picture IS
pointed In Three Twins" so that the
full, rich tones of the male voices
blend tremendously with the higher
notes of the feminine contingent, maxi,
ing a feast for the war as cell as the
eye.

PEACH TREES
ARE IN FULL BLOOM
Anxiety is Felt for early Varieties Of
Fruit.

Thomasville, Ga, January IS - The
spring-like weather which has pr wall
ed here practically all the montd is
causing vegetation to begin putting out
rapidly.
Peach trees Of the early varieties
are IL full bloom and unless there is
some decided drop in the temperature
before long other fruit trees will be
putting out.
Owing to the mild weather last win
ter the lie Conte pear trees bloomed
early in February and in consequence
the crop was badly injured by late
frost, which caused the young fruit to
drop. That there will be a repetition
of the same conditions is the fear of
the growers here.
