No Change in Collectors Office

Parkersburg, Sept. &c. No
immediate changes other than
those which have already been
made at the office of Collector
S. A. Hays are contemplated at
this time and it was stated this
morning that he would recon-
mission all the members of the
old force on the first of October,
temporarily at least.
When Mr.. Hays assumed the
office there were several resigna-
tons and these places were filled
by appointment, temporarily
and the remainder of the force
was recommended for three
months. One Of those who re-
signed was Henry F. Steck Of
Wheeling and Thos. Padden was
appointed in his stead. The lat
ter has not qualified and it is
probable that another will be APP
pointed to fill the vacancy, effect
i've on the first of October. Out
side of this it is not known that
any other changes will be made
in the immediate future at least.
G. II. Odbert. one of the mem
bers of the office force, who has
been i'll for few days is expect
ed to return to his desk on
Thurday. He has been at the
home of his daughter at Fair
mont during his illness.

Orchard Bulletin
Bulletin 141 of the Experiment
Station h is entitled The r juve-
nationl of old Orchards. The
bulletin is written by Professor
w. HI Alderman and gives
brief description of causes lead
ing tol the decadence of old orch
ards, together with timely advice
and instruction for bringing
such orchards back to a profita-
BILE b Earring state.
AS supporting evidence of the
efficie ncy of these rejuvenation
methods the author cites the
records of six old orchards that
have come to the attention of the
Station. One orch
ard of about six hundred trees
located in Mason county has
proved particularly profitable
since its purchase three years
ago. This orchard was some
thirty years old and had suffered
the worst of neglect for seven
teer wears. The various prun-
mg, spraying and cultivating
remedies were applied and the
frs year the orchard produced
cro) which was sold for Four
Hundred ($400.O0) Dollars on the
trees. Practically no crop was
produced the following year but
IN 1912 the orchard yielded eight
''ldred and thirty-three 1889
Tels Of fruit which sold for
431.75. The total expense in
dent to the regeneration of this
chard was $788.21, leaving a
oft of $1043.54 for the first
lree years after taking over the
orchard.

BETTER CHANCE FOR BOYS
Who are CnruIy But Not Evil will
be Given in the New State
School

Pensacola Journal: Chapter 1929
of the acts of the legislature Of the
present year changed the name of
the State Reform School, located at
Mariana, to the Florida Industrial
School for Boys"
The change in name is a very SEN
.sible one and will go long way to-
ward removing the embarrassment
and stigma attached in many cases
to the boys whose misfortune it is to
be sent to an institution of this kind.
Under he new law board of man
ayers is provided, the term beginning
August 1, 1913, and being for four
years. Governor Trammell has ap-
poitned the members of this board
as follows:
J. H. ShellilI, of Pensacola; John
High. of Jasper; Ira C. Hutchinson,
of Chipley; W. H. Baker, of Jack
conville, and W. H. Milton, Of Mari
anna
This is a strong board and the
members have an important work
to do. Many a boy goes to these in
situations of correction who is not
at heart a bad boy. In fact the most
of them are not bad boys. Their
only fault lies in the fact that some
of their youthful energies have been
exercised in the wrong direction in
stead of the right direction.
1t is the business of this industrial
school to see that such boys are given
a proper start by training their en-
ergies in the right way. Most of
them have the necessary material for
the making of good citizens and the
purpose of the school is to help in the
making.

GREAT DAY AMONG
THE COLORED MASONS

| On August 20 and 21st the coIored
| Masons of the state will have the lay
ing the cornerstone Of their new
grand lodge temple in Jacksonville,
and have obtained cheap round trip
excursion rates TO Jacksonville over
all Of the roads and from all points
in the state, good 10 return on the
22nd. Rev. John H. Dickerson, the
grand master of the Masons, a Mar
ion county raised man, bought the
lot for his order many years ago on
which the building now stands.
Bridge street, as il was then called,
now Broad, was only sparsely settled
| and Dickerson told a Star reporter
that he gave only about $4,000 for
the lot and the owner gave him a big
discount for the lodge He was Of
fered over 500, 200 for it before the
| building was commenced. The build
ing, which is as modern and we'll
built of reinforced concrete, steel and
| brick, as any building in Jackson
vile, is six stories high and covers a
quarter of block. 1t will cost about
100000 and will bring in a very
! handsome income on the investment,
besides providing a magnificent home
for the lodge. 1t is almost complet-
ed and will all be occupied before
| fall. 1t is almost entirely due to the
untiring efforts and financial ability
of ]. H. Dickerson that the lodge
owns the valuable lot and has been
able to erect the building, and for
the past five years he has spent more
than half of his time in bed, too sick
to do more than direct and advise
and dictate his correspondence. The
colored people of his home county
can but feel proud of Dickerson for
the great success he has attained for
himself and his order, for there is
no such monument in the entire
South or possibly not in the United
States built entirely by a coIored
order or organization. Even in Jack
sonville, where skyscrapers have
grown like mushrooms in a garden
over night, his achievement has been
remarkable and has ELECTED the ad-
miration Of the fnanciers and build
.ers. The laying of the cornerstone
of this temple will be one of the
greatest events of the decade among
the colored people Of the state and |
thousands Of the 10000 membership |
will attend, as we'll as many other
visitors. Rev. R. B. Brooks of Jack
sonville, prominent and successful
member of his race, is the grand sec
.retary Of the Most Worshipful Union
Grand Lodge. A. F. & A NJ of Flor
ida, and is caring we'll for the inter-
ests Of his order and making great
preparations for the big day.

GADSON'S FALL PURCHASES

Frank P Gadson, proprietor Of the
Ocala Bazaar, has returned from his
thirteenth annual purchasing trip to
the New York markets. Frank does
not look old enough to have been
wrestling with the problems of buy
ing for a big store for that long, but
such is the case as thirty years ago,
he told Mr.. Peter Rouss, now head
of the house, that he was there, talk
ing to his father, the late Peter
Rouss, merchant and philanthropist
The friendship between Mr.. Rouss,
Sr, and Frank Gadson has continued
between him and the son, and no one
has a better opportunity than Mr..
Rouss to appreciate the worth of this
colored citizen of Ocala, for through
all these years they have had a great
deal Of business together and Frank
has paid them a great deal of money.
Gadson says during all these years
of purchasing he has never bought a
larger or better line of goods than he
has this summer, and never had the
good fortune to strike so many jobs
and bargains and he is much elated
over his purchases for the fall and
winter season, and promises his pat
rons, both white and colored, over
the county, some surprises in good
goods and money savers.
The goods are coming in rapidly
and the store is being filled on both
floors and all Of the clerks are busily
engaged in marking them up and dis
playing them.
Among the purchases were over
fifty cases of shoes of late styles for
men, women and children. The
finest and largest line Of dress and
dry goods, women and children's no.
tions and novelties that he has ever
carried. Mems shirts, underwear,
collars and ties, hosiery, hats and
suits that he has ever had in the
store.
Ladies ready-to-wear goods, suits,
coats, skirts, waists, ETC., something
new and different and in great guam
titles and a profusion OF colors and
textures, so that the ladies can get
almost anything desired in ready to
wear garments. In millinery for the
ladies and children he has surpassed
all former efforts and feels a just
,r;5a in tho -napniHnou SaIacrin0S in
these goods.
In staple dry goods, table and bed
linen, towels, curtain goods, etc, he
has them all guessing and is display
ing a line that will set the people TO
thinking.
The line Of mems and boys fall
and winter suits is very elaborate
lone. with all OF the late styles and

Hanging does not prevent murder,
for the gallows hold out no terror to
the man in whose heart turks the de-

Penal institutions do not correct
criminals. and in very few instances

that man once wore stripes is SUI

SO, while the district attorney may

the fact remains that their convic-
