Powers of Plant Board.

Tallahassee, July 10, 1916-Two re-
cent decisions Of the Supreme Court
Of Florida are of much interest and
Importance to the citrus growers of
the State. Both decisions were In
cases brought against the State Plant
Board in connection with the work of
eradcating citrus canker.
In one case the owner of citrus
grove requested an injunction res
training the inspectors of the Plant
Board from inspecting his property
for citrus canker, alleging that the
Florida Plant Act of 1915, authorizing
such inspection, was unconstitutional
The Circuit Court of Dade County
held the Plant Act to be constitutional
and sustained a demurrer to such bill,
and upon an appeal, the Supreme
Court affirmed the decision of the
Court below.
In the other case certain nursery
men whose citrus nurseries were To-
Gated within one mile of canker in
fected property, and hence under
quarantine by the provisions OF
Rule 5 of the Plant Board, filed bill
10 enioin the enforcement OF such
.ule, and praying for its modification
50 as to permit the movement of
nursery stock situated within an in
fccted one, although such nursery
~tock might have been subject to in
rection, if in fact it did not show
upon inspection, evidence of infection
TO this Bill the Attorneys for the
Plant Board filed a demurrer, coptend
ing the Circuit Court was without
Jurisdiction to control the discretion
Of the Plant Board or review its find
ings, or to grant the relief prayed
and that there was no equity in the
bill. The Circuit Court overrulcc
this demurrer, but the Supreme Court
reversed the decision of the Court be.
low, holding that such bill did not
state any grounds for equitable relief
and that no facts were alleged show
ing that the State Plant Board, II
making and enforcing Rule 5, had eX
| cccded its authority.

Our State College.

In another column we carry an ad-
vertisement of the State University
at Gainesville and of the State Col
lege for Women at Tallahassee. The
statistics there given show remarka-
BILE growth in both institutions, and
also indicate that the university and
the college have the confidence of a
large clientele in Florida. Courses
offered in the university are liberal
arts, agriculture, law, engineering,
education and graduate courses, and
courses in the college are liberal arts,
education, home economies, music, art,
expression, business and graduate
courses. The catalogs will give full
particulars.
No boy or girl in Florida has any
excuse now to seek college educa-
ton beyond State lines, for our State
institutions offer them the best ad-
vantages for a broad and liberal col
lege course, free of all expense save
that Of the actual cost of living.

All South Christian EndeavOr
Convention.

1t is really right here, this great
and good time which many loyal En-
dcavorers have so long anticipated
We have some borrowed men from
above the Dixie line like Messrs. Po-
ling, Gates, etc, but it is encouraging
to see what a large force of mission,
temperance and college leaders as
we'll as C. E., have felt it worthwhile
to show themselves on the side Of
our wcll-loved Christian Endeavor or
ganization. DR.. Clark was too i'll to
come but sent an affection2te mes
sages. The Hon. Newton D. Baker
of Washington was too busy helping
in Government duties to attend.
We have gallant force from Flor
ida. Part came together on spe-
cial Pullman Tuesday, July 18th. We
left Jacksonville at 7:1O a. NJ, and
did not drive in Atlanta till after ten
at night, floods having done damage
enough to the road, so we had to go
out of our way. 1t was merry
crowd. Songs, "yells," games, con-
vcrsation, and lunches plenty, with
an occasional nap by few, and so
passed the day. The route, "Suwan-
rec River" is much prettier than
some between Jacksonville and At
anta, but the dust, even after a
food, were severe tests to appear
ances of our delegates. Some came
on other trains, and some by auto,
altogether we have about forty, and
seats right to the front, close to the
piano, which has been in charge of
Charles H. Gabriel, Jr., and music led
by his famous father. Much of our
singing, and it is good singing, is
of songs the Gabriels have composed.
These songs we will long remember.
The convention proper is held in
the Central Presbyterian church, an
edifce of large proportion. Lunches
are served in the dining room by la
dies from local societies, as many
Of the convention hotels are on the
European plan. Florida has the
Ansley Hotel for delegation head
quarters, but several were fortunate
enough to have friends here, and so
lessen expense. The Florida y
superintendent is located at beau
tifully green campused school, quiet
in summer, and drives to and from
sessions. Yesterday pictures were
taken on the capitol steps as the Cap
itol is just across the street from
the Convention church. We had a
great deal of fun at it and the sun
shone warm from over head, like
that of another kind in our hearts.
Today Saturday there is to be a
song service at the same place, fol-
lowed by street gospel services in va
rious parts of the city. Atlanta
now knows that C. E. "means busi-
ness for the king" Fine conferences
are held twice a day in different
rooms Of the church. DR.. E. P.
Gates, noted field secretary from Hi
nois has his in auditorium and they
are very helpful: This is to be
continued story"
