The following response to the
toast, Palm Beach County" was
delivered at the Entire Nous club
banquet in West Palm Beach, re-
Gently, by Mrs. Charles T. Harper
of Fort Pierce:
1t is often remarked that
counties in Florida differ as much
as whole states differ in latitudes
farther north. Palm Beach coun-
ty belongs to a wonderfully at
tractive sisterhood, sisters who
vary in age and characteristics
and who outline even in their
names the fascinating history OF
the mother state. Suwannee,
deep water, suggests as its coun-
terpart, Alachua, the big bot
tomless Jug Wakulla with its
marvellous spring and tabled vol
cano is the county Of mystery
and SO received its Indian name.
These three with Seminole
and Osceola remind us of the out
law tribes who overran and con-
quered large part Of Florida
more than century ago, the
first coming Of the white man.
The Seminoles, even like forbears
of our own race, sought a better

.JAX AFTER FUND
FOR BIG REUNION
Contributions Are Being Re-
ceived Rapidly
APPOINTMENTS ARE MADE
Many Interesting Features Will Mark
the Reunion-Program Through
out Is Said To Be Novel and I'm.
usually Attractive.

Public spirited citizens of Jackson
vile are determined that the Confed-
crate Reunion will be carried out
along as elaborate lines as first plan
ned, and to date over ten thousand
five hundred of the forty thousand
dollars required for the big event
have been subscribed.
The appointment of an advisory
committee of old and honored citi-
zens to act in conjunction with the
executive and finance committees of
the association seems to have afford
ed fresh stimulus to the movement
and 1t Is believed that at the present
rate the contributions are coming in,
the reunion fund will be raised in its
entirety within the next ten days or
two weeks.
Gen. Geo. p. Harrison, of Opeli-
ka, Ala, commander of the Army Of
Tennessee, department of the United
Confederate veterans, has made ap-
pointments as follows:
Miss Clay, of Savannah, sponsor
Miss Nadia L'Engle, Of Jackson
vile, maid of honor.

AudLTOH VI
An interesting feature of the Con-
federate reunion will be the presence
of camp of Sons Of Confederate
veterans, comprised of the sons and
grandsOns of Cherokee Indians, who
fought for the Confederacy.
Col. N. B. Forrest, adjutant gen.
eral and chief of staff of the Sons of
Confederate veterans, is in receipt
of a letter from Sibbald Smith, son
of Nimrod Jarrett Smith, who was
for a period of thirteen years chief
of the Cherokee Indians. Smith
writes from Cherokee, N. c., stating
that his father was member of
Thomas Legion In the Confederacy,
and that he is directing the work of
reorganizing the camp of Sons of
Veterans at Cherokee to attend the
Jacksonville reunion.
The Cherokee camp attended the
Louisville reunion I'm q body, says
Col. Forrest, and created.a splendid
impression. The camp will come to
Jacksonville fifty or hundred
strong. The members of the camp
are all well educated, and a majority
of them are thrifty farmers.
One Of the prettiest touches Of the
entire reunion from the standpoint
of sentiment and reunited country,
will be in connection with the ap-
pearance on Jacksonville streets Of
Gen. H. A. Tyler's command, the
Forgest Cavalry corps.
1t is expected that three hundred
horses viii be engaged for the Far
rest cavalry In the reunion parade.
The Forrest cavalry will be dis
tinct feature Of attraction at the re-
union.

Soft-drink sellers advanced their

liquor dealers was the decision by the
Tennessee supreme court, which will
allow shipments In any guam fy

tenure which included and closed
with the revolutionary period.
Except as an asylum for Royal
lists from the southern colonies,

state that General Carranza sent two

denied the right of the United States
government to make any inquiry into
the killing OF William Benton, be-
cause the latter was a British sub

On the other hand, Carranza

| PARTISAN groups of senator's ,are pre-
pairing to revolt. With the firing Of
the first gun sensational develop
ments are expected
h The senators interested declare
their belief that Secretary Bryan can
be forced into the enactment of a
definite Mexican policy. The Inn
mediate cause Of the protests is the
administration demand that no fur
ther news Of outrages upon Ameri-
cans In Mexico be made public.
Senator Fall, Of New Mexico, will
open the program. He WILLIS ddress
the senate on the Mexican situation,
quoting from messages in his possess
sion to show that Secretary Bryan
has repeatedly ignored the claims
made upon him by Americans in
Mexico.
