Rev. E. j. Jackson. The meeting re-
suited in forty-three accessions ard
twenty-nine candidates for baptism.
The most effective of DR.. Nays SER

Must be Born Again" which caused a
deep spiritual awakening among the
people of Daytona, both Methodist
and Baptist. He left Daytona with
strong endorsements of his work COM

Rev. Jackson is well known here,
as he was pastor of Mt. Zion church
of this city up to fifteen months ago.
He is doing a great work in Daytona,
lives in $500 parsonage, and will

Less Inspiration Needed
For Success.

Millet summed up his life work as
'ten years Of drudecry, ten years of
despair, and ten years Of liberty and
success"
Edison has said that genius is
ninety per cent hard work" What
people need for success, so says the
great inventor, 'sis less inspiration
and more perspiration." It is Edison
who coined the phrase stick-to-it-
ability.
And stick-to-it-ability has made
more successful men than anything
else in the world.
A gutter never gets very far. It
is the man who persists, the man who
hacks his determination with hard
and unrelenting toll, who succeeds.
The way to success is never an easy
road, but if there is toll, there is Joy
in the labor, that comes always with
work well done.
There is perhaps nothing in the
world that gives such real satisfaction
as work faithfully performed. And
there is nothing that brings with it
just the same reward. For the true
reward of labor is the labor itself.
40 man can perform even the most
mental task well without a certain
sense Of pleasure in that task.

OFFICIALS SEE
EXECUTION Of
TWO NEGROES
SHERIFF HARvELL OF SANTA
ROSA, SHERIFF KELLY OF ES-
GAMBIA COUNTY, ALA, AND
DEPUTY HIGDoN HE1.E.

Three out-of-town officers witnessed
the execution of the two darkies in
the county jail yesterday with a lit
tie bit of more particular interest
than the average spectator.
Sheriff Kelly, whom lately assisted
in the execution of couple Of darkies
in Alabama, was able to volunteer
some authoritative advice respecting
the correct knotting of the cords, and
while his advice and counsel was re-
spected, still this had been studied
out by Sheriff Ellis and the deputies,
and had already been prepared.
Deputy Sheriff Higdon was from
Jefferson county, Ala, and he was
spending his vacation at Perdido
Beach with a party Of his friends.
He made trip especially to the city
to offer any suggestions and to assist
in any way possible in the successful
execution OF the darlies. While his
proffer of assistance was appreciated,
he was not needed in the actual grew
some ceremony.
Sheriff Harvel perhaps was more
infinitely interested than any one in
the room, outside of the county Off
Gals who had some part to carry out,

thought he will be called upon to
send to eternity the souls of the three
Roberts boys, convicted of murder
lately, and who now stand in the
shadow of the gallows. These are the
unfortunate white youths who were
lately proven to have caused the
deaths Of the aged Peter Wyman and
wife, on Santa Rosa sound, near Har-
ris. Sheriff Harvell, if it comes to it,
is sure he can duplicate the feat of
Sheriff Ellis of yesterday, by person
ally springing the trap.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ETAOIN
Pensacola's talented young musician,
the writer, a Chicago newspaper
woman, having just seen the little
story about this bright little boy,

Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy.

Few medicines have met with more
favor or accomplished more good than
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. From a small
beginning its sale and use has ex-
tended to all parts of the United
States and to many foreign coun-
tries. Everywhere it has received I'M
stinted praise. We confidently be-
ieve that it has relieved more pain
and suffering. and saved the lives of
more people than any other one
preparation in use. One or two doses
of it is enough to relieve an ordinary
attack of collie or diarrhoea. 1t has
been used in many epidemics of dys-
EMERY with perfect success. 1t is
especially valuable for summer diar-
rhoeas in children. Every family
should keep it at hand as attacks of

HOW TO BECOME A CIVIC.

Trust everybody, and obey the
Golden Rule implicitly.
Never refuse to make a loan.
Don't hurt anyone's feelings by
saying, mo"
Give up your seat in a street-car to
a lady" and learn from her silence
or otherwise that she isn't one.
If someone bumps into you on
Broadway or in the Subway, stop and
apologize.
Give your rival In love q chance to
be alone with your girl once in
awhile. Then spend two weeks pay
on a wedding-present for them.
Hunt for chances to do outside er-
rands for your bosses. They will
show their appreciation by giving
you more of them to do.
Don't ask for raise in salary; just
wait for it.
Write short story and send Il to

you get through doing these things,
there is no hope for you-you are
just a lovable old fool.

POETIC JUSTICE.

POETIC JUSTICE.
Fown's boss was mean and small and
low
And not Browns equal in the least;
But still he was the boss, and so
Felt free to treat Brown like q
beast.
That very day, for something
He'd 1ectured Brown-unjustly.
too.
Poor Brown went home that night to
find
A letter from some lawyer there,
informing him in language kind
That to great wealth he'd fallen
heir;
And would Brown call and let
them know
His pleasure soon? Well, Brown
guessed sol
OF course, Brown bought the business
then,
And hired away from other firms
Some managers who'd treat the men
AS human beings, not as worms;
But, first of all, he fired that boss;
And no one mourned much at the
loss.
And then Brown bought touring
car,
And when that former boss he'd see
He'd follow, smoking his cigar,
And spatter him extensively.
Of course, t was all a dream.
But say,
Why can't things happen once
that way?

Modern Disposal
of Garbage.

Here is what Farm and Fireside
has to say about the disposal of gar
bage in Los Angeles, California.
Twenty to twenty-five tons of low
grade fertilizer are made from the
$50 to It's tons Of garbage produced
a day by Los Angeles. This fertili-
ger sells from $14 to $18 ton de-
Ivered to nearest towns, depending
on the freight. The product contains
nearly half as much plant food as
high-grade fertilizer. The amount of
the fertilizer used varies from one
and one-half tons an acre for orchards
to two tons and more for vegetable
lands.
More than $1,000 hogs and more
than 10000 chickens are being fed
on a select grade of the garbage pro-
duct called garbage tankage. All of
the particles Of no food value for live
stock are removed in making the gar
bage tankage. Before being fed, the
tankage is soaked in water for twelve
hours.
A half million dollar factory was
built on a six-acre tract in the indus
trial section of Los Angeles last Feb
ruary to manufacture the garbage OF
the city into tankage and fertilizer.
Fifty-one cents ton is paid to Los
Angeles by the garbage products COM
pany for the garbage. This will
amount to one million dollars during
the life of the ten year contract the
city has with the garbage products
company.
Formerly the garbage was shipped
to distant hog ranches. A few years
ago large incinerator was built, but
soon lost its roof by fire. The incin-
orator was never used again.
Three years ago Los Angeles again
was considering the incinerator plar
to dispose of the city's garbage. Il
was in fact considering $500, 00C
contract for an incinerator.
This new moderator proposition
with its excessive first cost and its
following heavy running expenses anC
cost of upkeep appeared so foolisl
and useless that the city council was
urged to adopt some plan by which
the garbage could satisfactorily b.
returned to the soil.
About the same time local firm
which had been experimenting for twt
years, at a cost of $1,000 a month
made proposition to the city b,
which the company would handle tn.
city's garbage.
One half of the garbage of Lo,
Angeles was handled by the fertilizel
company at first. The rest Of it wa,
fed to hogs. This amount was in
creased gradually until September Is
al of the garbage of Los Angeles
was used by the garbage reduction
company.
