Use Of Mica in the Industries.

Mica mining in the United States
started early in the nineteenth cen.
fury In New Hampshire, which state
supplied all the domestic production
until about 1868. when mining was
started in North Carolina and sub
sequently in other states. At present
the greater part of the sheet mica is
used in the electrical industry, and
most of the scrap mica is ground for
use IN the decorative trade. especially
in wallpaper.

saloonkeepers will be given until
Saturday to comply with the so
licitors ruling, and when the sheriff
and his deputies make the rounds
the proprietor of any saloon who has
failed to follow instructions will be

Solicitor Loftin stated that it is
a plain violation of section 8 of the
Davis law for saloon to have any
door or other opening furnishing
insress and egress except from the
street. The use OF doors or other
openings furnishing ingress and
egress from the ides or rear of a
saloon to or from lots or adjacent
buildings is prohibited. The So
licitor ruled that all of these rear
or side doors and windows shall be
closed. To make the closing of these
means of ingress and egress effec-
tive Solicitor Loftin ruled that it
would not he sufficient to simply
lock doors. If doors are locked, il
was pointed out, it would be neces-
sary for the sheriff to keen DER
uty on guard in each saloon to see
that they are not unlocked The So
licitor stated that it would be neCes-
sary for these openings to be closed
SO that they cannot be opened. In
oher words, when the sheriff makes
his rounds, he will arrest any sa-
loonkeeper whose place of business
has any means OF entrance or exit
except the doors and windows open
ing on the streets
The ruling made by Solicitor LOT
tin applies alike to wholesale and re
tail liquor houses.
One of the saloons has opened a
restaurant in an adjacent building
with an opening twelve inches long
and eight inches wide in the parti-
tion through which orders for in
toxicants could be given. 1t was de-
cided that this opening must be
closed.
1t is pointed out that in addition

An unusually large al

An unusually large audience was
present at the congregational
church Sunday night upon which
occasion the chorus choir of the
church gave the beautiful cantata,
".The Holy Infant" This cantata is
among the best productions ever
given by this musical organization.
The solos and other parts, includ-
ling the ensemble portions Of the
cantata, were very capably handled,
Indeed. Some of the music in this
work is very difficult. The cantata
heralds the birth of the Savior as
given in the scriptures and is divid-
ed into five episodes the Annunci-.
fation, Nativity, Coming OF the Magi,
the Holy Name, Presentation. The
pastor Of the church read the scrip
ture passages upon which the cam
tata is based. between the different
episodes, thereby adding to the in
terest of the rendition. On the
whole it was one of the most beau
tiful services ever heldSupon a Sum

There seems to be little doubt but
that the enthusiasm that has mani
tested itself in certain sections of
the State in behalf of the movement
to raise $4,000 for national public
ity purposes is pretty general. From
all parts of the State comes word of
Commission is working hard and up

already prepared copy for appear
ance in many publications of worth
throughout the nation early in the
new year. This copy is already off
the press and will be placed immed-
lately.
An example that should be follow
ed by every city and town in the
State has been set by West Palm
! Beach. This thriving East Coast
city has more than subscribed its
portion of the State fund. Based on
its percentage of population, each
city and town is expected to raise
certain amount and 1t is crafty
ing to see the public spiritedness,
whole-heartedness and far-sighted-
ness of the West Palm Beach people.
I While the outlook is most en-
couraging, there is no reason for any
community to, feel that the other fell
low is doing more than his part and
that the fund will be raised anyhow.
1t is lot the case. So much is ex-
pectod of every section of the State
and this amount is apportioned be-
tweer every city and town. II one
falls back and fails to do its part,
1t will be impossible to carry out the
plans as originally prepared. But no
town or city is expected to do this
and 1t will be truly disappointing to
see anything like IT come to pass J..

HOW TO BE GRACEFUL
EVEN THOUGH KICKING

Graceful kicking is not the least
among the excellent qualities of the
Orlando Reporter-Star, and as kick
ing is, per Sc, incompatible with
grace as a general rule, it will be
observed that we pay the highest
tribute to our Orlando contemporary
and put it in a class by itself when
we dover it with that charm even
while ell it's bones and muscles are
in vigorous and impotent revolt
against the sublime truths of the re-
cent Florida census.
The Reporter-Star commends the
''fine spirit" of the Telegram in it's
loyalty to Lakeland and says that
has been consistent principle with
the TELEGRAM and it has been of in
valuable worth in promoting the
growth and prosperity of Lakeland. :"
Handsomely said and in the same
good temper is the following which
needs no commend beyond our en-
phatlc negative to the statement
that the Telegram doesn't honestly
believe in the figures which give
Lakeland more population than Or
lando. On the contrary, Joe, it is a
part &C our newspaper religion, our
census creed, to which we hereby
proc' aim unSwerving loyalty. Says
the Reporter-Star.
but the Telegram, is mistaken if
il thinks Orlando is envious of Lake
land. Orlando is not rival of Lake.
land in any sense except that of
broad progressivism The towns are
two widely separated to interfere to
any extent with each others trade.
We are willing to grant that Lake
land has better passenger station
aid a better city nall than Orlando.
In time Orlando will have a better
passenger station aud better city hall
than Lakeland. But We are not will
ing to grant that Lakeland has more
population, and We don't believe the
Telegram honestly thinks so, even
though the census figures say SO.
The Reporter-Star is contending for
more uniform system of taking the
tcnsrs. There are too many glazing
inaccuracies for the newspapers to
stand calmly by and say nothing. If
nothing is said there will never be
shy improvement in the method, in
which statement thu Telegram VIII
probably concur.

Taylor, of the Jacksonville State,

of the subject. Adorned with such

enough money in each five-year pc

Story Taken From Arthur G. Trains
"Mortmain" Is Decided Nov
city in Picture Plays

The first Vitagraph production in
which the distinguished actor Rob-
ert, Edeson, will be seen is a pic
turization of ''Mortmain," or 1.-THE
Dead Hand" from the story of the
same name by Arthur C. Train. Mr..
Edeson, who portrays the name part,
Mortmain, was supported by an all
star Vitagraph cast, directed by
Theodore Marston under the person.
al supervision Of ]. Stuart Blackton
and Albert E. Smith,.
"Mortmain" as 4 screen story is
doubly attractive because of it's
strong dramatic action, and the
scientific and psychological elements
that make Of it decided novelty.
Mr.. Edeson, as Mortmain, is shown
being put to sleep under the inf1u-
ence of ethyl chloride, and as the
drug takes effect the sensations ex-
perieuced by him under its influence
are shown in vivid realism. He sees
his own head getting larger and
larger until it bursts This is sue
ceedeG by falling sensation as from
great height, and it is during thi:
period the superman leaves the body
and wanders off into space. AS the
force of the anesthetic is spent the
soul returns to its physical habita-
tions, Mr.. Edeson receives a sensa-
ton OF severe jerk and bump The
experiences of the superman during
its wanderings after leaving the
body make the story of "Mortmain,' y
in which every scientific and phys
GEOLOGICAL detail is pictured on the
screen with startling clearness 1t
Is notable fact that this is the
first time anything of the kind has
ever been shown in pictures.
"Mortmain" is a Vitagraph quail
ity picture in five parts, bearing the
brand Blue Ribbon Feature, and is
remarkable in story action, presen-
tation and photography.
