NEW WORKERS TO
GET CHEAPER RIDING

New York, Nov. 11.--There is
probably no people In the world who
love to ride in taxicabs more than
do New Workers. The cost of in
dulging this luxury has been the
cause of constant complaint for the
past few years. Now, however, a
new type Of 12-horse power. two
passenger taxicab is reported ready
to do business in the city streets at
rate of 25 cents for the first mile
and 5 cents for each additional
quarter mile-cutting the present
maximum legal rate in half. A prom

nounces that he has ordered 100 Of
these cabs and will take more a.

out. The promoters are convinced
that the new light, cut rate cabs
can be operated ut . profit.

BALE OF COTTON WAS GREAT
CURIOSITY TO THEM

Jackson. Mich Nov. 11.-Many
Jackson people may now see what
they have never seen before-a bale
of cotton. The Central State bank
Yesterday put on exhibition a 5l7
pound bale of the famous southern
crop, which was shipped to the local
banking institution from st. Louis,
Mo. Sometime today the exhibit
will be completed by pods of cotton,
as it grows, this part of the exhibit
being in transit. The bale of cot
ton was purchased by the Central
State bank by way of cooperating
with the country wide "buy bale
of cotton" movement. The purchase
evidences the progressiveness OF the
bank and its willingness to assist in
a laudable movement to relieve the
financial stringency in the south,
due to the difficulty in marketing
the 1914 cotton crop. While every
one in Jackson is acquainted with
the appearance of cotton, it is re-
markable to note what a large per-
eentage of people have never before
seen a bale of the product. The ex-
hibition has attracted passers-by in
large number and officers OF the
bank state many people inform them
they have never before seen so much
cotton in one package. The bale is
q mammoth one. 1t was shipped
wrapped in burlap. q part Of which
has been cut away to permit the cot
ton to show.

jacksonville, Nov. 1.-The slay.
err of Baldwin Mar, aged farmer of
Pickctt's settlement, who was MUIR

their belief, and such the positive

prisoner. Mrs. Ellington, to whose
heroism the rest Of the May family
owe their lives, met the negro on
the Clyde docks Sunday afternoon.
where she had gone to meet her hus-
band. a river captain. For nine
years the memory Of the night of
terror had never lost It's vividness.
In her mind still remained the pic
ture of the black hcnd's face, as he
levelled her fathers shotgun at her

whose mark she still bears in her
side. She passed the man without

said. "Yonder on the dock is the
man who killed him" Accompanied
by the policeman, she accosted the
black. who appeared to have lost his
nerve entirely. "You know me, and
you dare not deny it," she said. The
negro cast his eyes down, but re-
manned silent. The police cite as
fact tending to strengthen the iden-
LITIGATION that Mrs. Ellington has
been called upon to identify at least
a score of negroes since the murder.
In no case has she been uncertain,

HAS 1000 ACRES READY
FOR BELGIAN FARMERS

Jacksonville, Nov. 11.-That the
movement to bring Belgian farmers
to the ntilled acres of the South is
becoming a popular movement in
Jacksonville is shown in the large
number of interrogations along this
line which have been made at the
Jacksonville Board of Trade. The
movement appears to have been
started by commercial organiza-
ton in Quitman, Ga. A communi-
cation from that p ONT placed the
matter before the Jacksonville
Board of Trade. In one case a citi-
zen here who is now constructing a
model country home and developing
a good sized farm in connection is
anxious to secure a Belgian and his
family for work here.
In another case a resident of this
city stated that he has about 1000
acres of farm land which he would
like to cut UP into twenty-five acre
farms and give to Belgian families
free of rent for a period of two
years. Besides, he states, he would
afford the newcomers all the timber
needed for the construction Oh
buildings. In connection with the
securing of Belgian refugees it is
however, believed that in many
cases financial assistance will have
to be guaranteed, either in the ma
ture of passage money or as a means
of maintenance for the first year
of their residence in this country.
1t is planned to use every effort pos
sible to select only farmers and 10
aid them in every possible In the
course of this movement.
