HAROLD SELDEN WINS
TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP
Of District OF Columbia at
the Columbia Country 4
Club.

The Washington Post of Saturday
tells of the tennis contests at the Co.
lumbia Country Club the day before
lin which the winners were Connie
Doyle and Harold Selden. The con-
test will have d deep local interest
from the fact that young Selden was
a former Palatka boy, son Of our
fclmer townspeople, Mr.. and Mrs.
George B. Selden.
Harold Saiden, previous to the re
moval of the family to Washington
last year was a student in Scissor
University, DeLand, where he took to
tennis and in the many university
club contests won and for two years
held the State tennis championship of
Florida. In Washington he appears
to have kept the pace. The Wash
mgton Post says Of the game:
Enthusiastic followers of tennis
were given quite treat yesterday
afternoon at the Columbia Country
Club courts when the championships
in the mems doubles and women's sin
giles were decided. The doubles con-
test was a hard one, but the singles
we're somewhat easy for the woman
champion.
Connie Doyle and Harold Selden
fought it out with Albert Gore and
Paul Treanor, and finally triumphed in
nree out of four matches by the
6--4, 2-6, 6-4 and 6-4. It
was expected that Gore and Treanor,
fresh from their victory at the Cum
herland tournament, would make
Doyle and Seiden extend themselves
throughout the match, but the contra
rv was the case, although the victory
cannot be classed as an easy one. Ire
amor did not play up to anything like
his true form and, of course, that
threw almost all the work on Cores
shoulders. Gore did his best at all
times, but his best could not offset
the splendid work of Connie Doyle,
the star on the other side.
The victory of Doyle end Seldcn en-
titles them to the honor of being
champions of the District in the dou-
bles, and should they continue to play
together so as to develop stlong team
work, with the latter's expected i'm
provement, they should carry the hon.
Ors for years to come.

Anent the pardoning of a criminal
that has caused so much comment in
the state the Reporter-Star gives
the full text of the pardoning board
report. 1t shows that the pardon was
a conditional one which mitigates the
crime somewhere but does not as
suage our anguish at the fact. How
ever, if Joe Reese thinks it is all right
we will take his article in good faith
and watch the result of the act of the
pardoning board. If they can con-
vert said criminal into a good citizen
far be it from us to interfere. ANY
thing is better than the present con-
vict system and if all the criminals
can be pardoned and sent to Orlando
Joe Reese can be depended upon to
make them better citizens.-Sanford

COUNTRY CLUB TO
Be ORGANIZED HERE
Option Secured on 100 Acre
Tract on Dunn'S Creek
Beautiful Spot.

John A. Crosby of San Mateo and
one of the best known men in the
county is promoting the organization
of country club and was interview
ing leading men and motorists in the
city yesterday with the view of inter-
esting them in the proposition. 1t is
matter of record that every gentle
man whom Mr.. Crosby approached
with a view to his becoming mem
ber gave ready assent. Members will
come from San Mateo and Crescent
City as we'll as Palatka and already
some 20 or more have subscribed to
the scheme from each of these places.
At least sixty Palatkans will join,
possibly more.
Mr.. Crosby has an option on 100
acres of land on Dunn's Creek be-
longing to the Cook Cattle Co. of
which R. c. Middleton of Crescent
City is manager. The spot was for
some time occupied as a camp by the
Sutherlands. 1t is a beauty
Facing the creek the land has high
embankments and there are beautiful
shade trees of live oak. Back the
land is for the most part level clear
ed land with some timber in spots.
1t is Mr.. Crosby's plan as soon as
100 members have been secured to
purchase the property and erect a
club house. Then he will plan at
least two tennis courts, golf links,
and possibly swimming pool.
The site of the proposed country
club is about nine miles from Palat-
ka, or 30 minutes drive by motor.

FLORIDA LANDS
RICHEST IN WORLD
Says Chas. H. Sieg-Prepar-
ing to Boom Lands in
,.. Putnam County.

Last weeks Dixie had the following
article anent the work of Chas. H.
Sieg in Putnam, Clay, Marion and Du-
val counties:
Chas. H. Sieg has completed the
formation of his company, which will
result in the development of hundreds
of thousands of acres of idle Florida
lands. Mr. Sieg's efforts have the
signed endorsement of leading busi-
ness and professional men in Florida,
including banks and various big enter
prises.
1t is Mr.. Sieg's purpose to immedi-
ately open offices in Chicago and other
cities, but Chicago will be headquar-
ters. He has already planned an ex-
tensive advertising campaign, and
millions of people will be told of the
advantages of Florida lands and the
opportunities offered to settlers.
Mr.. Sieg and his associates are
backed by abundant capital, and
special attention is to be given to
the lands in Putnam, Marion, Clay
and Duval counties.
The best of lands have been Sc
lected for these extensive operations,
and Mr.. Sieg is confident that thous-
ands of new settlers will be brought
Z" Florida and made prosperous and
happy.
,orida lands" said he, "are the
best and richest in the world, and if
properly cultivated we could practi-
cally feed the nation. We propose
to offer none but lands that will
prove most fertile and profitable.
We know that satisfied purchasers
will bring more settlers. 1t is our
purpose to prove to the peop
throughout the United States that
Florida lands present golden oppor-
tunities. Our campaign of adver-
Using will pive the facts and the pos
tive proof that Florida can grow
more and better products than any
other State in the Union.
FLORIDA has been grossly SANDER
ed and We intend to overshadow these
slanders with the absolute proof that
zen acres well cared for here is worth
100 acres of millions of the lands un-
der so-called cultivation in many 9TH
cr States.
1--WE are going to make the prices
so tempting that the farmer with
small means can come and make a
better living here than anywhere else
in the world. Thousands are only
to be shown, and we propose
to show them.
81 have had 10000 purchasers dur
ing my operations and not disputed
title. We will have hundreds of
thousands of acres of the best lands
in the world to otfer-lands whicn
have the endorsement of the United
States Agricultural Department,
through its soil surveys. A fortune
will be spent in judicious advertising
in the Northwest and the Central
States, but this is the only way to
reach the people.
Demonstration farms and a per.
manent exhibit are among our plans
for the near future. We will show
the people what is, and can be grown.
We will show them that Florida soil
and climate are unequalled. We are
going to bring the settlers here. OF
this / am very sure, and l am sure of
prosperity for all of these settlers"
