for two weeks. This property com
prises the best located home sites
which have ever been offered in the
city of Daytona, being located nearest
to the business center and to the Hall
fax River and Atlantic ocean.
This property would have been
built up twenty years ago but it was
held off the market by the former
owners until this winter. All i'm
provements including paved streets,
concrete sidewalks, ornamental trees,
shrubs and ornamental columns will
be put in free by the developing com
pany. City water, electric lights, gas
and telephones have been installed on
the property.
Prizes amounting to $4,000 in gold
will be given away free to the first
builders when built in accordance
with the desirable plans and restric-
lions on this property.
Already one home costing more
than one hundred thousand dollars is
being built on the property; also one
costing ten thousand on the ocean
front, and plans are now being drawn
for several others.
As an investment proposition. we
do not believe this property can be
equalled in the state with the above
conditions prevailing. AS home
proposition it cannot be surpassed in
Davtona.
Several of the best business men
in Daytona have realized this fact and
have made reservations which are
certain to double every dollar they in
vest in this beautiful property.
This property has been named

One OF the pallbearers at the flu
neral leaned over to the young widow
just after the body had been lowered
into the grave and proposed. The
young widow blushed and said. Il am
sorry but the man who sat up with the
corpse Is ahead of you"
This little story illustrates a great
moral. Some of the best opportunities
IN our life are lost because We do not
try for them soon enough.

SPEECHES FEATURE-INiTIA
AFFAIR OF SERIES OF SOCIAL
EVENTS THIS WINTER.

At the First Baptist church last
evening the men of the church and
congregation gathered to the number
of nearly fifty and enjoyed an evening
of entertainment. The first number
of the program was the eating of a
roast pig supper. The pig, weighing
nearly fifty pounds, baked whole
standing on tray garnished with
sweet potatoes and apples, was a sight
to whet the appetite of any man. All
the good things that go with roast pig
to make it complete, was served by the
ladies' and the Philathea class.
At the close of the supper there was
a full program of music and after-din-
ner speeches. Little Miss bona Ed
wards favored the company with a
piano solo that pleased all Mr.. w.

H. r. Mcclellan to VISIONS" f. A.
Brunette to 1.-THE Wedge" and the pas
tor to the thought of Optimism" The
affair was one of number of social
events planned for the year and on
the whole was most successful one
from the standpoint of getting to-
gether and fellowship.
On Sunday morning the pastor will
have as his topic. Tying the Tiger
with a Red Ribbon" In the evening
he will continue the series begun last
Sunday evening on Vital Topics of

A MOTORCYCLE RIDER
HAS narrow ESCAPE
B. 3. BAGGETT COLLIDES WITH
WAGON WHILE ON HIS WAY
TO HIS HOME IN HOLLY HILL
THURSDAY.

b. b. Baggctt, an cmplOye of the
4 GrubcrMorrs Hardware company

injury Thursday evening when his

the river road through Kingston.
Mr.. Baggett and family are making
their home for the present with Mr.
Baggetts parents on the river front
at Holly Hill and he makes the trip
between this city and that town by
motorcycle.
Mr. Baggett says that on his way
home Thursday evening, while passing
over section of the road in Kingston
that was darkened by over-arching
trees, horse and wagon suddenly
loomed up before him and he was into
it before he could make move other
than to throw his feet to the ground
and let the motorcycle run from I'M
der him. As 1t was he escaped very
fortunately with nothing worse than
bruises and abrasions on one leg and
some injury to the little finger of his
left hand.
The horse reared and the motor
cycle dashed into the front of the wa
gon. which was loaded with wood and
driven by negro. But little damage
resulted to either vehicle, and the
horse was unhurt.
The negro had no light displayed on
the wagon. but carried n flashight
which he brought into use moment
after the accident. He said he thought
the rider of the motorcycle could see
him approaching, which was mis-
take quite generally made by people
who are roaming about without lights.

conducted they have resulted iTE the
I re-appointment of a very large per
! centage of present incumbents; that
| the greater per cent of those taking
/ the examinations were already post
masters, and that in most cases they
had nobody to compete with them. In
\ these examinations, the results have
shown, that the men in Office and ex-
perienced in how to run poStomceS or
the fourth class have far and away
the advantage over those without any
experience. For instance, % out of
the first 80 examined, under the new
order of things, were the only applt-
cants and all of them, present incum-
bents, passed. In the other two cases
there were two applicants for one Of
fee and three for, another, but in
each instance those in office were sue
cessful. Under the circum stances,
Mr.. Sutherland is now advising
constituents to take the examine
lions. Where they happen to be old
soldiers especial favors are shown
them in marking their averages.
Within the last few days Postmas-
ter General Burleson has issued the
following order to the first assistant,
which clearly defines the govern
ment's attitude toward postmasters
Of the fourth class:
t'In selecting persons from the eli
gibIe registers furnished by the Civil
Service Commission for appointment
as fourth class postmasters, it is my
desire that the person with the high
est rating be chosen, unless good and
valid reasons are submitted to the de-
partment showing that this would not
be in the best interest of the service.
If reasons are submitted sufficient tcI
make the seiecticn4of the first eligt-
Bile inadvisa BILE, then it is my desire
that the person with the next highest
rating be chosen, unless good and
valid reasons are submitted to. show
the inadvisability of his app ointment
In such case the third eligible may be
selected.
I'm no case should the second or
third eligible he chosen unless the
appointment of one of the higher
standing G1igibles has been shown to
be 4nadvisabIe from the standpoint
of the greatest efficiency in the pos
tai service.
In reaching conclusions as to the
most desirable appointments an en-
deayor should be made to select per-
sons whose business and tempera-
mental equipment is likely to reflect
credit on the postal service"
Fourth class postmasteTs in West
virginia have been much concerned
over the attitude of the department
toward them, as many inquiries re-
ceived by members of the congress
sional delegation testify, and the re-
suit of Mr. Sutherland's investigation
as we'll as the above order, will be
of interest and profit to them es-
pecially.

MODERN TERMINAL
NOW IN OPERATION

capacitI of 10000 pounds, travelling
100 feet per minute, serve eacn
floor. including the basement. These
elevators are located on the street
side, so that merchandise stored IN
the warehouse can be taken out
without disturbing the freight on
the first floor.
Large packages, especially auto
mobiles, are handled in cars having
end doors To permit of such cars
being unIoaded directly into the
wareh ouse. another track has been
provided with its terminus just out
side the end wall, where there Is a
door as large as the end of a car
Adjacent to this door is large ele-
vator, twelve feet wide by seventeen
feet long, to handle large packages
or automobiles.
AS the material stored varies con-
siderably in weight, the floors were
designed accordingly, the safe load
varying from 500 pounds per square
foot on the first floor to so pounds
per square foot on the top floor.
Above the first floor the building Is
divided INTO three sections by fire
walls, making three separate com
partments each served by two ele-
Va.tors. aud an enclosed stairway
which wiIl also serve as fire escape.
In the construction of the build
ing is 900 cubic yards of concrete
and 675 tons of reinforcing steel
we're used. At present it covers only
one-sixth of the lot but it is SO ar
ranged and constructed that addi-
tions can be made as the business
warrants The company anticipates
covering the entire lot IN the course
OF few years.
The house is equipped with electric
lights and telephone service. All
conduits for both systems are con
cealed, having been placed in the
floor slabs and columns during the
construction.
The interior telephone system pro-
vides means of communication from
any section of the. building direct to
the Office or to any other section OF
the building. The telephones in the
offices connect directly with the New
York Telephone Company, also to
the private switchboard of the rail-
road company, providing direct COM
1nunication with the numerous Of
fees of the railroad company IN the
city and on Staten island.
That part of the lot not used Tor
the building is occupied by team
tracks and driveways. Tle yard
has a capacity of seventy-ive cars.
Every car can be reached by teams,
and each team driveway Is paved
with granite blocks. Spanning one
driveway and a track is a travelling
crane of five tons capacity, for load
ing or unloading heavy freight.
IA wagon scale of six tons capac ty
lis convenient for teams. On the
street side is a platform
used exclusively for the unloading
OF poultry
The new terminal and warehouse
was designed by NJ. "a. Long, as
s:stant to the chief engineer under
the direction OF Francis Lee Stuart,
chief engineer OF the Baltimore and
Ohio system. wv. B. Redgrave, en-
gineer of maintenance of way. and
M. P. Northam, assistant division en-
gineer, had charge of the field work.

TELEPH HONE
Line Repairs Are Being Made
Now by Five Gangs OF
WOrkTnen.

J.. Walter Barnes, OF F,aIrmonti
general manager OF the Consolidated
Telephone Company. states that the
company's system in Clarksburg IS In
better condition than at Fatrmont. as
there are twice as many telephones
out OF commission there as here. He
says that more men have been on the
Clarksburg end than have been on
the Farm ont end. According to ME-
Barnes there are two gangs now
working from Shfnnston to ClarkE-
burg, one from Clarksburg to Wes-
ton and one from Clarksburg toward
Salem. Mr.. Barnes continues as fol-
lows:
The people really do not under
stand the extent of this damage
We had just completed the work
from the other storm when this sec
ond one came. We do not have q
large organization like the Bell from
whjch we can draw additional men.
They were enabled to send from fifty
to one hundred men in this region
Immediately after these storms, and
we could not obtain more than about
twenty-five.
The system at Clarksburg being
underground, did not suffer any
thing like as much as at Fa.rmont.
However, yesterday through the care
Iessness of some city employees, they
dug into a hundred pair cable and
commission. we believe the people
should be patient and cons derate OF
this wreck the same as they would
be of any other wreck in any other
line of business. 1t is no fault of the
telephone company that these storms
occur. and no company could build
against such weather."
