time to time it was modified and i'm

During Queen Elizabeth's time II

with the spines of quilts, which struck
and caught the strings and produced

Nothing in the world is so hard to

HAS PLEASANT TRIP down
THE WATERWAY TO MIAMI
GEORGE II. RICE SEES COUNTRY
AND VISITS MANY PLACES OF
INTEREST IN TIE oNTHcuRY TO
THE SOUTH.

NM - AeAS~s " 0ANNS - >
Mass, who is spending the winter
in Daytona at 103 Cedar street, with
his wife and daughter, has just re-
turned from five weeks trip down
the river as far as Miami.
With a party of three other men
from Worcester they sailed from Day.
tona January 18th on the houseboat,
A. S. Ry., stopping off all along the
line to visit towns and cities, inlets,
orange groves, pineapple farms and
miles and miles of cultivated garden
land, with tomatoes, beans, peppers,
cabbage, onions and all kinds of veg
etables. And finally, in the southern
portion, the cocoanuts, paw paw, sap
odilla, royal palm, royal poinciana.
etc.
Mr.. Rice was pioneer camper and
hunter on the Indian river, coming
to Port Orange more than 80 years
ago, and for eleven years he
sailed his boat, hunted and fished
over these same waters when they
We're comparative wilderness.
On the present trip he found sew
eral of his old friends of long ago
who are still living on the river, are
extensive land and ship owners about
Palm Beach, and Mr.. Rice took much
pleasure in noting the great changes
in money values that time has
wrought in the development of all
the property along the river and can
ais.
AT several points, notably at Hobe
Sound, Palm Beach and Miami. they
are constructing fine bridges across
the river similar to those in Dayto-
na to make easy communication with
i fine hotels on the ocean beach. In
other places, like Royal Park, Palm
Beach. they are pumping and dredg-
ing bay sand and mud to fill up the
water front, making building. sites
good anchorage.
At Hobe Sound an English com.
pany is developing $4,000 acres in th'
same way, with a bridge, water tow.
er, nice dock and beautiful grounds.
At Miami they are pumping, bridg
ing and selling land at high figures
1t was reported by several that the
Methodist society had been induced
to change their location and sell theil
old lot for $4,000.
The mari which has been dredgeC
from the drainage canals of the Ever
glades is the very best material, fol
constructing roads and ballastinl
railroads, and thousands of tons o
this material is now being used al
, up the line on the railroads and stat
soads.
Hundreds of cars are on the sid
ings waiting for the immense crop O
tomatoes that are now being put u
, in the various packing houses at tn
) south end, and this win continue al
! up the line.
Hundreds of men are engaged nea
the inlet in fishing, and cars ar
loaded every day with fish for TIL
northern markets.
I With all this stir, hustle and expel
: diture of capital it was the opinio
of the party that Daytona still take
the lead as residential city, wit
its wide shelled streets, continuou
1 sidewalks and beautiful, natural an
: added scenery.

TO SEPARATE THE
NEGROES AND WHITES
Congressman Proposes That Civil Ser
vice Employees of Different COIOrB
Be Worked Separately

Washington y. c.. June 16-Repre-
sentative j. B. Asweu has introduced a
bill TO effect certain reforms in the
civil service, by segregatlng clerks and
employees Of the white race from those
Of African blood or descent" 1t pro-
vides that In all executive departments
within the District Of Columbia. clerks
or employees shall not be required to
occupy the same office OF work rooms
with clerks or employees of African
blood or descent nor shall any white
clerk or emplOye be placed under or
derS, direction or supervision Of any
person Of African blood or descent
In the railway mail service Of the
pOstOffice department white clerks
shall not, except in cases OF emergency,
be ordered TO duty in the same mail car
with postal clerks Of African blood OF
descent"
Mr.. Aswell says Every informed
and right-thinking white man, while
sympathizIug with and anxious to help
the negro in his place, recognizes the
necessity of preserving the integrity
and the supremacy Of the white race
The purpose of this bill is to check a
bad tendency in this country, before it
is too late, and cause thinking people
everywhere to find themselves in rela-
ton TO the race problem and thus deal
fairly and give justice to both races"

AUTO ENGINE GONG CAUSES
PANIC AMONG MONKEY ACT

Make believe was almost turned into
reality Sunday evening at the Airdome
theater during the performance of Don
Carlos dogs. ponies and monkeys. While
the show was in progress, and the ami
mai thespians We're doing their stunts,
the fire whistle blew and the autOmo-
bile fire engine from the central sta
ton scooted out Myrtle avenue at a
third alarm speed. The gong on the
auto engine sounds exactly like the one
which Is used on the monkey patrol
wagon Of the dog and monkey show
The Changing of this gong is the "cue"
for the animal actors to start the rough
house, which closes the monkey hotel
scene. But the fire engine passed while
the dogs were doing their act. Think
ing that the fire gong was their "cue"
the monkeys started such a noise in the
wings of the theater that Don Carlos
could not be heard. and it was not until
the fire department had passed that the
show could continue.
