The Palatka board of trade has re-
ceived the following resolution from
the Chamber of Commerce at Selma,
Alabama:
"Be it resolved by the Wholesale
Grocers of Selma, Ala, that we here
bv place ourselves on record as favor
ing and advocating rs far as may pc
practicable, the use Of cotton bags as
containers for all commodities here
tofore shipped in jute bags and wood,
to the end that greater demand Tor
cotton may thereby be created, with
its beneficial results to the cotton pro-
ducers of the south.
"Be it further resolved that each
of us will send a copy of this resolu-
ton to the Millers and Manufactures
who ship to this market, and will re-
Quest them to make the substitution
in the way of containers herein ad-
vocated."
1t is stated on good authority that
at least one and one one-half million
bales of cotton can be consumed an
nually by the use of cotton bags in
the United States instead of iute lm-
ported from foreign countries. We
brought over $6,000,000 worth Of jute
from the East Indies last year We
also imported over 400,000,000 pounds
of burlaps and over 100000 tons of
sisal grass, in all over 100000
worth of fiber products, many of
which can be produced in FLORIDA.

FRANK CLARK RISES
TO DEFEND FLORIDA
Second District Congressman
Keeps the Record
Straight.

The other day in Congress, a mem.
ber of the House from Ohio proceed.
ed to assail Florida's franchise. or vo-
ting, system, making the charge that
the great bulk of the men of voting
age in the State were prevented from
exercising their proper privileges at
the ballot box.
This is a charge which many mis-
informed people from other sections
of the country have previously made
about Florida, and Representative
Frank Clark evidently thought it was
time that the libel should be effec-
lively refuted. He therefore replied
as follows:
81 want to submit, Mr.. Chairman,
that there is very clear intimation
in the gentleman's remarks that some
sort of grandfather clause obtains
in the Florida constitution. am
not here to apologize for ''grandfath-
er clause" because | believe any
act is justifable when it has for its
object the rule of the intelligent. .ard
virtuous of any community, bat !
am here to say, Mr.. Chairman, that
there is absolutely no disfranchiSe-
ment of anybody in the laws of the
State of Florida. We have what
is known as a poll-tax prerequisite
The sum of 81 year is to be paid
for every man, of whatever color he
may be. as a poll tax which goes in
to school fund, and if at the cleo
ton it appears that for the two years
preceding such election
his poll taxes have not been paid he
cannot vote. -
"Then, Mr. Chairman, we have the
ballot in its purity and in
it's simplicity. We have no smv-
ools by which an ignorant person can
mark in circle and thus vote an
entire ticket.
"The names of the candidates, with
,ut regard to party, are arranged al /
ohabetically, without symbol of any
character, and a man must know
now to read in order to vote for can
ldates of his choice"
This is a very complete answer to
,he charge that there i9 anv race or
,olor discrimina zion at the ballot box
n Florida. The franchise laws az
,lv equally and fairly and directly to
IL men of all colors who are citizens
If the United States ard CT Florida.
The colored man can vote as easily as
he white man and he car and does
ret his vote counted as accurately and .
IS fairly as the white mans vote is
We are not arguing the question as
o whether the NEGRO should vote or
hould not vote We are simply stat
ng the fact that he can vote and
Ices vote whenever he wants TO in
NV general city, county or State
election in florida.
Whatever Frank Clark's enemies
nav say about him. the feet remains
hat he usually lseens the record
traipht when Florida is misrenre-
ented bv gentlemen from other parts
f the country.-Miami Herald.

The Water Hyacinths.

Florida has been given $4,000 by
Congress to fight the hyacinths. Ma
jor w. B. Ladue, U. S. Engineer FOR
the Florida district, says the eradica-
ting boats and machinery are ready
to go to work. In discussing the Sit
uation Major Ladue says:
"The st. Johns and it's tributaries
have been remarkably free from hy-
acinths the past year, and it is caus-
ing some wonderment among those
who know the amazing propagating
capacity of the plant. 1t is suggest
ed by some men that there have been
consumed certain elements in the wa
ters which favored the growth, while
others believe that lack of the usual
abundant rains for the past two or
more years is responsible. All are
surmises, however, but the one thing
that is that whereas in years be-
fore the St. Johns itself was often
great green meadow-like eXpanse
of hyacinths, now it is so unusual for
one to be seen that it causes comment.
"The west side of the state, how
ever, has not been so fortunate, for
from the Withlacoockee river comes
the report that the hyacinths have
closed the stream. To this water
course Major Ladue has sent men for
examination and on receipt of report
if it is as stated, the hyacinth ma
chine will be sent there to work"
The spray used several years ago
was very effective, but sprayed plants
poisoned the cattle, and congress pro-
hibited the use of the dangerous COM
pounds. Now boats are used to NOV
the floating fields, and grind them In
to pulp.

ImpOved Carrier Service

1t is said that Postmaster General
Burleson is contemplating trying out
autos for rural delivery service in
Florida. That has been done long
time ago. More than two years ago
Carrier Smith of Palatka Route No.
> used a machine, and that very sue
cessfully. The carrier of route l out
of Trenton is using an auto now, or
was a few months ago, and making
perfect success with it. One carrier
at least out of Hawthorne is using o
motorcycle, and it is proving very
efficient auxiliary to his work.
In several of these cases the use Of
the machine enables the carrier to
make his trip and return to the office
in time to send the collected mail out
on the first train. This is great
advantage, for in most cases where
the route is collected with horse and
buggy the collected mail does not
leave the office until the next day
