O. A. Bell, secretary of the To-

ceived notice that Blount & Blount
of Pensacola, attorneys for the
state organization, have given an
opinion that the new fishing law
is constitutional and that the fish
rmen will have to pay the tax pre-
scribed by the law.
Mr.. Bell is urged to keep up the
fight against the law and to
strengthen the local organization
for this purpose. 1t has been de-
cided to hold a state convention of
fishermen on Nov. 18th prox., to
which every local union or asso-
citation is urged to send one or
more delegates, the object being
to discuss the law and what meth
DDS to adopt for the protection of

FAVORABLE DECISION
Punta Gorda Cigar Mfg. Co. Wins
Important Suit

Word has been received at the
law offices of Chadman and Mob
LEY that the examiner OF interfer-
ences at Washington, in the case
of the Punta Gorda Cigar Mfg.
Co. against Clarence G. Symon-
ette to cancel an alleged fraudu-
Ilent registration of the trade mark
"Three Monkeys" as applied to
cigars, handed down a decision
last Friday favorable to the PLAIN
tiff. This settles the case and the
Punta Gorda Cigar Mfg. Co. re-
gains its full title to the brand
"Three Monkeys" and any person
or firm using it without permis-
sion is subject to heavy penalties.
The case itself was bitterly con-
tested and involved the taking of
many depositions here and at 9th
err places. As all the testimony
had to be printed the cost to each
side was considerable and the a.
mount of work done by the attor-
neys very great.

COTTON TREE AT BARLOW
Three Years Old, Fourteen Feet
High and Bears Good Crops

1t is a fact that genuine cotton
grows wild in this section of
Florida, and the bushes (or trees)
are never killed by frost. Doubt
less, if the trees were cultivated,
they would grow very large and
bear big crops. 1t is evidently
one of these wild trees which the
Record editor has found at Bar
tow, which is growing in a loca-
tion favorable to its full develop
ment. Here is what he writes a.
bout it. which we reprint for the
benefit of Herald subscribers in
the cotton belt of South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama and other
Southern States:
The writer doesn't know much
about cotton picking, but Uncle
Ben Bradley does and here is
where our story begins. A short
time ago Uncle B. discovered a
cotton tree (now laugh in the
back yard Qaugh again) of the
home of G.. C. Bush. Uncle Ben
drove us to this place Tuesday and
there it was, a cotton tree IA feet
high, IS feet across from limb to
limb and 10 inches in circumfer-
ence at the ground measurements
by Uncle Ben The tree was
three years old last March, and
asst year Mr.. Bush gathered ten
pounds. 1t is now full of blooms,
,r whatever you call them, and
Uncle Ben thinks the crop this
year will be from 80 to so pounds.
Mr.. Bush says it may not reach
.hese figures, but says the crop
will be larger than that of last
season.
But seriously it is wonderful
growth. Uncle Ben is very en-
.husiastic about his discovery and
S anxious to see some one set out
/ grove: He advises planting the
seed close together for the first
year and then cut down every 9th
n tree the next year and so ON um-
i'll the trees get up to,say from ten
20 twenty feet in height, that they
1e left from Is to 20 feet apart.
He thinks such cotton grove
would beat oranges or grapefruit.
He says the leaves as they fall fur
lish all the fertilizer needed from
year to year. This is the first time
The editor of the Record ever tried
to write anything about cotton
trees, and perhaps it will be the
asst, but all who are interested
can get full information from our
good friend Uncle Ben Bradley.
