GRADUATES OF SOUTHERN
COLLEGES ENLIST TO
ERADICATE ILLITERACY

The following from Washington
exchange will interest club women
throughout the State:
The women graduating from
Southern colleges are enlisting to
eradicate illiteracy from the state.
The plan, proposed :. by Mrs. Peters
Black, of Atlanta, Ca, the president
of the Conference of Southern Wom-
en-, is that during the coming sum-
mer months each graduate shall
teach at least one adult to read and
write. Mrs. Blacks letter is now
being read to the student bodies of
women's colleges and co-educational
institutions throughout the South.
Hundreds of young women are re-
spending to Mrs. Blacks appeal to
show their appreciation of the ad-
vantages they have had by opening
up the world of knowledge to those
blinded through their inability to
read and to write. This simple and
effective plan is so strikingly set
forth in Mrs. Blacks letter that 1t
is given herewith in full:
To the Women Graduates of 1915:
have been elected president of the
Conference of Southern Women, a
constituent body of the Southern
Conference for Education and In
dustry, and in accepting this posi-
tion my first act will be to come to
you as the attractive representatives
of the new South to ask for your CO.
operation.
Iwant you to join me in an ac-
tive crusade against the illiteracy
which exists in the Southern states
today. If each girl who graduates
this summer from any college or
normal school will agree to teach one
or more persons to read and write
during the summer months, black
or white, young or old-it does not
matter which, will be very thank
full. If you will play this glad
game" in theright spirit of love and
friendship don't you see how quick
ly we can raise the standard of our
people?
If You agree to help | would like
every girl who carries out this plan
to write and give me the name and
age of the scholar she has taught
before the first of September.
This will be splendid oppor-
tunity for you to prove the practical
value of the advantage you have had
and to show your interest in per-
sons less fortunate than yourselves.
Sincerely yours,
MRS. NELLIE PETERS BLACK,
President of the Conference of
Southern oWmen.

A SHOT AT THE CHEAP
CRITICS OF THE PRESIDENT

The New York Evening Post is an
independent paper with Republican
leanings, and all well-informed
newspaper readers know that in it's
editorial expression it is one OF the
very INFLUENTIAL papers of the me-
tropolis. 1t is as cold and clear as
crystal, without a suspicion of emo
tional warmth, and the following
from one of its recent issues will
carry additional weight for that
reason and should be an effective re-
Duke to the few superficial and preju-
diced critics who are always finding
fault with President Wilson:
ut is good to note that attacks of
any kind upon the President are
few. His fellow-citizens have just
conception of the heavy load he is
carrying. In the nature of the case
he has to assume tremendous respon-
sibilities alone. That he is giving
his best thought and energy and his
purest love of country to the work
laid upon him, is known of all. And
it is right feeling, which might
easily become an indignant demand,
that he be freed in his lonely wrest-
lings with great problems not only
from the bowling of the mob but
also from the swapping of haphaz-
ard critics

FLoRmA's SPLENDID CORN CROP

st. Johns county has splendid
corn crop and the farmers will not
only produce all they need for their
own use but will sell much outside.
1t is one of this county's banner
crops, second only to the Irish potato
in the total revenue described.
The crop all over the state is also
pretty good this year. The Clear
water Sun says:
in this era of widespread devas-
tation by war, the cry that "grits is
grits" comes up from more than one
endangered portion of the world.
"All the more should Florida be
grateful for having plenty and
much to spare of all which goes to
meet the emands of man and beast.
The past week witnessed the ship
ment from this state of twenty car
loads of cattle to Texas. True we
will buy some these same cattle
back, a little later on, in the form
of western round or porter
house, but the shipment tends to
show something of the states re-
sources. From every quarter comes
the report that crops Of all kinds
pl omise great abundance.
Sweet potatoes, peas, sugarcane,
peanuts, pumpkins, turnips and
vegetables and fruits of all kinds
ale abundant.
',t corn GRIP is claimrd to be
the best the state has ever grown.
This is true in all sections of the
state, but is especially true around
Sanford where the acreage is large

FOLLOWING ST. Angus.
TINES EXAMPLE

st. Augustine is one of the few
cities in this country that can
boast of a dental clinic. That this
city has such desirable feature in
connection with it's public school
system is due to the generosity of
President John r. Dismukes of the
First National Bank of t. Augustine.
Its value has long ago geen demon
strated-its intrinsic worth to the
community can never be measured by
dollars and cents. Other cities in
Florida that have heard of St.
Augustine's good fortune are en-
deavoring to secure like benefits. Tn
other parts of the country COM
munity welfare is sought to be en-
HANGED along similar lines. A citi-
zen of Rochester, N. ", has donated
100000 to found free dental dis
pensary and clinic in that city. For
five years fund of 100000 will be
available for maintenance and the
only conditions to the gift are that
the city shall provide at least $12,-
600 year for five years to carry
on dental work in the public schools
and that private citizens agree to
provide $4,000 a year for five years
for the same purpose. If all these
conditions are met, this public
spirited citizen will add an endow-
ment fund of $3.50, 0OO.-St. Angus

GEORGIANS TESTIFY
TO MAYR'S REMEDY
Lives Redeemed and Fortunes in
Health Are Recovered.

Most of the problems of health
originate in the stomach. Most of
these ailments can be cured. Thous-
ands of people right in the State of
Georfia are needlessly suffering from
stomach troubles, while thousands
of others have found health by the
use of Mayr's Wonderful Remedy.
The first dose of this remarkable
remedy is proof. Here are the
words of two Georfians who have
used it,

of normal heaviness. Neither vice
nor disease had tainted any part of
this man, who stood almost feet in
height and was 215 pounds of sinewy
strength. He was physical perfec-
tion."
And yet this piece of physical per-
lection, for the want of moral cor
respondence, of a conscience that
would point the right road and the
will to follow it, was a menace to
organized society. II is right and
proper to exalt and perfect the ply
steal, to make a man an athlete, a
splendid animal, but unless his mind
and conscience keep an equal pace
and the finer qualities of the man,
which differentiate him from the
brute, are given an adequate devel-
opment, his material perfection is
worth little to himself and less to So
ciety and he might better have been
born defective.

SOLDIERS LIKE THESE DID
g's THE REAL FIGHTING
I (Atlanta Journal.)

During his campaign for the gov
ernorship last year, Colonel Nat e.
Harris addressed the voters at Cor
nelia, Ga. In the audience was a
gray-haired gentleman whose erect
shoulders and military bearing pro-
claimed the old soldier After his
address Colonel Harris sought him
out and had a talk.
1t developed that the man, Colonel
l. C. Wade, a prominent citizen of
Cornelia, was in the Union army
during the war, fighting in the line
which opposed the Sixteenth Vir-
ginia regiment, of which Colonel
Harris was an officer
Were you at the battle of Moore

Its a good think 20 did," said
Col. Harris, ''or that man wouldn't

That was the incident which lead
to real friendship between the vet
eran of the North and the veteran
of the South. And now that the
one is governor of his state he is
planning to appoint the man who
shot at him sixten times on his
staff.

FLORIDA LINES IN
GREAT DEMAND

According to the Miami Metropo-
lis, Florida lines, despite the great
difference in price. are in much
greater demand than the Porto
Rican fruit and the demand cannot
be supplied. Florida lines are bring
ing SIG per barrel, while the fruit
shipped out from Porto Rico sells
for SO cents per baler on the New
York market
The crop is only about one-half
normal, according to w. n. Hull of
Miami, president of the Lime Grow
ers' Association, but with light
crop the growers are making much
more than in other years as the
price is so much higher. Orders for
the acid fruit grown in this state
come in every mail and by wire
daily from every section of the
country, Mr.. Hull this morning re-
ceiving telegraphic orders for lines
by the barrel from eKntucky and
North Carolina.
w. B. Joudon stated to the Met
ropolis that seed beds for peppers
and elephants are now being pre-
pared, getting in readiness for the
fall crops. About six weeks ago
the last of the previous seasons
crop of these vegetables was gather
ed and shipped, prices realized be-
ing very satisfactory.
Miami growers are of the opinion
that vegetable acreage will be
somewhat less this season than last,
on account of the decreased amount
of potash quoted in fertilizers and
the increased prices demanded by
the manufacturers. Scarcity of
potash is given by New York inter-
ests controlling the market as the
cause of the increased price asked.
is stated that not more than fxe
per cent of potash is being specified
this season by the fertilizer compan-
les, and in some instances as low as
three per cent.

1t can certainly be said for Hon.
Frank A. Wood, of Pinellas county,
the last mentioned entry in the CUB
ernatorial race, that he has mug
and dome which would much become

look the part is no small item in the
success of any performance To real
ize how true this is, try to imagine

kered, bow-legged Hamlet, with a
protruding Budweiser window
waddling across the stage declaiming

audience would give him the horse

The Miami Herald says that the
Tampa papers always insist that
South Florida ends about the north
ern shores of Lake Okeechobee. They
have no reason for doing so and we
don't know that they do. The south
ern limit of South Florida is of
course the terminus of the peninsu-
la, but its northern line has never
been defined and custom alone must
be relied on to say where it is. The
northern limit of the orange belt,
where the cultivation of citrus fruit
is a staple industry is about as near
as view can fix the line separating
South Florida from the rest of the
State. There are still orange
groves around Gainesville and Ocala,
but they are the leavings of the
great freeze" and citrus culture is
INDUCED in there to a very limited
extent. Those two cities are certain
ly in middle Florida, and we must
go considerably south of them to
find the northern line of South Flor
ida.

PROSPECTS GOOD FOR FAIR
CITRUS CROP IN THE STATE

Jacksonville, Fla, Aug. S.-The
Florida citrus fruit shipments for the
season 1914-15 were 26,435 cars.
This is approximately 100000
boxes of fruit.
Information has been received
from different sections of the State
regarding the fruit crop for the sea-
son 1876 and the general opinion
is that the orange crop will run from
so to 80 per cent of a normal yield,
while the grapefruit crop will prob
ably be fully 80 to 40 per cent short
as compared with last year. All
kinds of citrus fruit are looking
much better than 80 days ago, as
nice rains have put the trees and
fruit in good shape. 1t is impossi-
BILE to make close estimate of the
coming seasons crop at this time.
The present prospects are very
bright for a fair crop throughout the
entire belt OF the state.

The Tallahassee Record calls our
attention to the fact that at the an
nual banquets of the Florida Press
Association for years past more than
half of the editors in attendance
have kept their glasses turned down
when liquid refreshments were be-
ing served. The handwriting is on
the wall; the whole world is going
dry, and sometime in the far future
the student of that day will read of
the inebriate of the present and be
strongly disposed to classify him as
one of the fabulous monsters of an
tiquity. But between now and then
there will be many a glorious old
snake hunt by people whose tastes
run in that direction

THE PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED

One OF the big obvious needs of
South Florida is quick and easy
communication between the east and
west coasts by rail and hard sur
faced roads and both are on the
way.-Lakeland Telegram.
Certainly they are. The East and
West Coast Railway is already COM
pleted from Bradentown to Arcadia
the east coast being objective, and
then, too. Bradentown will be con-
nected with Miami by that Dixie
Highway via Arcadia Thus the
problems are solved and the situa-
ton very gratifying-Arcadia News.

From an interesting and charac-
teristic letter in the Ocala Banner
by Albertus Vogt, of this city, to his
old friend, Colonel Frank Harris,
editor of the Banner, we get infor-
nation that Albertus is writing a
book entitled life in Florida. =
which is nearly ready for the press.
When it is published, if the author
doesn't present us with a copy. we
shall not hesitate moment to plank
down the necessary spondulicks to
buy 1t, for we make no doubt that it
is going to be one of the most en-
pertaining and instructive books ever
written by citizen of Florida.
There won't be dull page in it, for
Albertus is genius, with a head
packed with prodigious mass and
variety of information and he knows
how to tell it in graphic and pic
turesque style. He can run the
whole gamut from geology to Jokes
and he knows Florida with an init
mate knowledge. The appearance of
that book, written by the man who
discovered phosphates in Florida
ought to be notable literary event.

A FROZEN FRUIT" DECISION

Jacksonville, Fla. Aug. S'-fruit
! and vegetable shippers in this state
are much interested in an opinion
lust handed down by the Appellate
court of Illinois wherein a railroad
company was declared responsible
for the frozen condition of a ship
ment of apples from Charleston, w.
Va, to New York. There are many
frozen claims" pending in FLORIDA
and no doubt growers of this State
will be interested in this case. the
Jennings Brothers were the plain
tiffs.
1 The case was brought in the NUM-
cipal Court of Chicago, in which a
verdict for the plaintiff was obtained.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad, the
defendant, appealed the case but the
higher court affirmed the decision.
It was shown that the apples in ques-
ton were loaded in extremely cold
weather in January at Charleston
and that the plaintiff used due dill
gence and care in the loading; that
he saw to it that the cars were lined
and that stoves were placed in the
same; but notwithstanding this, the
apples, which were intended for the
European export trade, reached New
York in frozen condition.
Defendant introduced in evidence
the testimony of the trainmen who
handled the cars during their transit
from Charleston to New York city,
and defendant maintains that this
evidence showed there was no delay
or mistake in the handling of the
cars while in transit: also evidence
that at the time of loading and just
before, and for several days thereaf-
ter, the weather at Charleston and
vicinity was extremely cold and the
thermometer registering several de-
grees below zero

guards gun and pistol away from
him and made his escape. If that
