f JACKSONVILLE, June 1S.-Cecil
Wilcox, State manager Of the Mutual
Life Insurance Company. which car
ried 100000 of the $1,I7S,OO insur-
ance on the life Of z. O. Painter. to-
day declared that at the present time
he was sure enough evidence was be-
ing gathered from the many sources
available to show that Painter came
to his death from causes other than
Of an accidental nature, and that il
his belief none of the companies hold
ing insurance on Painter, taken out
within the twelve months prior to his
death, would pay the claims for this
reason.
Being convinced that Painter mys-
teriously met his death and because
of mysterious activities of the Painter
family regarding the autopsy on his
body, Wilcox stated, the insurance
companies were forced 20 clear up the
matter "decently, legally and effect
lively" to protect the companies and
their policyholders.
Family First Active.
AS far as the insurance companies
were concerned, Wilcox said, he could
only express the stand to be taken by
the company he represents. and that
any investigation taken by it at the
present time was for the protection Of
his company and its policyholders, He
said 1t was his duty as State manager
for the company to seek the truth in
the affair, that those whom he repre-
sented as well as the public might
know.
Wilcox fatty declared that the first
action taken in the investigation into
the death of Painter was not made by
the insurance companies. and that
they took no action whatever until
they noticed pronounced activities on
the part Of the Painter family and
the r. o. Painter Fertilizer Company
Immediately after the fact was known
that Painter had met his death.

Five Points.

Most "Steeplejacks" are said to be
content with their trade, but here's
one, w. c. Ficken, of so Ormond

Mr. Ficken was caught away up on

Don't you feel rather skittish up
there? Isn't it pretty hot on that
pole? How in the world do you man

better than If I was standing down

NO, things are not a bit different

pole) than they are hereto me.
That funny craze to leap off when

lieve it ever will, although I've known

reply. I've always wanted to ex-
plore the heavens just a little more
than I am able to do on the top of

can't, so I'll just jog along in the
same old way I've been doing it for

Mr.. Ficken says he is the Oldest

service. He has been on practically

many big ones in other parts Of the

Farm Products 48
Per Cent Of Exports

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Accord-
ing to the figures of the Department
of Commerce, agricultural products
form but 4S per cent of the domestic
imports Of the United States in the
fiscal year 1913, against 81 per cent in
1910. 81 per cent in 1900, rs per cent
in 1890, and "a per cent in 1880. This
change Is due to the much larger in
crease in the value of manufactures
exported. The value of agricultural
products exported shows an actual
gain. The figures for 1918 are slightly
in excess of those of any earlier year,
showing an increase of about 20 per
cent over those in 1880.
The chief agricultural products ex-
ported are raw cotton, meats wheat,
corn, tobacco, live animals and fruits;
cotton alone forming one-half of the
grand total of agricultural exports.
Cotton exports made their highest
record value in 1911-$5S5, 00O, 600
and for the first ten months of the
current fiscal year are $45, 10000 be-
low the high record figure for the
corresponding period in 1911.
