a wagon. DR., Thomas II. Walker
the dead w0man's husband, who was
driving the machine, was thrown to

Great Interest
In Boy Scouts
MOVEMENT STEADILY GAINING
GROUND AMONG MEMBERS
OF Y. M. C. A.

Since the formation of the first
patrol OF The Boy Scouts in Fairmont
interest in the movement has steadily
increased and several others will be
organized in the near future. Muca
studySis being made of the aims and
work Of the boys and their activities
all over the world is watched and
will be followed.
The Seattle Scout in commenting
on the difference which should exist
between a Scout and other boys says:
A Scout should ncycr sit while a
woman or elderly a stands.
A Scout should be the first to help
when aid is needed.
A Scout is friendly to the lower an
imals as we'll as to people.
A Scout is not ashamed to assist
one of a lower station in life.
A Scout always sleeps with one eye
open.
A Scout has two words "BG Pre-
pared" always on, his mind.
A Scout should be the last to start
a quarrel and the first to prevent 1t.
A Scout looks out for others as
well as himself.
A Scout sets duty first, and pleas
ure after.
a Scout never fights for PERSONAL
ambition, but always for the right.
Save Life Through Kindness.
Community service by Boy Scouts
has taken shape in many excellent
ways, and the Scouts Of North
Chelmsford, Mass, have recently
been able to aid in saving the life of
one of their t]ownspeoplc, thereby
helping in one of the biggest good
turns" possible.
This letter from ]. Earl WottOn ex-
plains Itself and shows that the
Scouts have again been able to live
up to the Scout law in the right
spirit.

COMPREHENSIVE DOCUMENT.

Tallahassee. Fla. April 7.-For
several weeks past. for the informa
ticn Of the public and Of members
OF the Legislature, Governor Park
Trammcll has been giving to the
press certain Of the recommendations
which he will submit to the Legisla-
turc that will meet here tomorrow.
The recommendations which have
been thus given out and printed con-
stitutc only part Of the many I'M
pcrtant matters which will be dis
cusscd in the message which will be
submitted to the two Houses Of the
Legislature after their organization.
Governor Trammell's past experience
AZ member OF the Legislature, his
four years recent service as attorney
general and the information which
h, has acquired since his Inaugural
tion as governor. have made him
"cry familiar with the condition Of
the States public affairs and with
the necessity of reforms in very
considerable number of the States
laws and policies. His message to
the Legislature will be a comprehen-
sive document and will contain many
other features than those which have
recently appeared in the newspapers.

But that hope had seemed vain In

Senator Adkins and his following

The situation in the House is cut
and dried for Ion l.. Farris for thr,
sreakership. lie will probably be
chosen by acclamation. It is not be-
lievcd any other member will b.
nominated. Farris WAS speaker Ia
1909 and his second election to tha:
position, this time without oppos!-

few in the history cf this State.
The situation is the reverse of last
session. Then It was all "fxed"
in the Senate for Cone and the fight
was in the House between T. A. Jen-

year the Senate is the unknown
quantity and the House IL utterly
without interest except in the elec-

house Today Carries Many Ar.
ticles on Free List.
lBy Associated Press }

WashiL StOn, April 7.-The new

pro.iucs for the removal Of all tariff
on meats. flour. bread and other ar.
ticles OF food and clothing. There
are broad reductions of duty on all
Lecessaries OF life and an increase in
tariff on many luxuries.
The new law would place a tax on
ircOmes exceeding four thousand dol.
lars year: sugar would be free OF
duty in 1915 with an immediate Is
per cent reduction: and raw wool
would be free Immediately with cor.
respondingly heavy reduction on all
wcolen goods.
The reciprocity clause empowers
the president to grant favors to any
nation giving mutual concession to
the United States. but the normal
rates shall be the maximum. In the
pl esent law the normal rates are the
III nimum. A concession Of per cent
would be made on all tariff rates on
goods brought in American-built
ships and owned by Americans.
Important to Floridians are the
following changes In the tariff:
Nursery cuttings and seedlings
from 25 to Is per cent.
Fresh vegetables from Is to Is per
cent.
Apples, peaches. etc, from 25 cents
to 10 cents per bushel.
Rasins from 2H cents to 2 cents
rcr pound.
Lemons, present rate. " cents
per pound; proposed new rate lS
cents for package under one and one
fourth cubic feet, 35 cents for pack
age up to two and one-half cubic
feet; 70 cents for package up to Ave
cubic feet; half cent per pound for
pound OF lemons In bulk or In larger
package.
Oranges. lines. grapefruit. etc
present rate, cent per pound: pro-
posed rate same as for lemons.
Pineapples from s to 6 cents per
cuhic font in barrels or packages;
from s. to s. per thousand In bulk.
The president is undecided wheth.
er the tariff should be revised sched
ule by schedule or In a single bill.
Seven Democratic senators argued
with him favoring the schedule re-
vision but went away with the i'm
preston that he favored single bill
TIE matter must be decided before
tic caucus tomorrow.
