DEMPSY TRAINING
FOR MONDAY BOUT
WILL MEET EDDY DARNELL AT
THE BUSINESS MEMS ATH-
LETIC CLUB ON THAT NIGHT.

Jimmie Dempsey has been very
busy the last two weeks, for besides
having full charge of the wrestling
and boxing classes at the Business
Mems Athletic Club, he has been in
hard training for the coming bout
Monday night, going from from five
to ten miles each forenoon on the
road md boxing from six to ten
rounds with the local boys every aft
ernoon, and his hackers who have been
watching his training think he will be
in the best of condition when he faces
Eddy Darnell for their ten round fuss
this coming Monday night.
Going back over Dempsey's record
of $50 bouts and his ten years. exper-
fence travelling from coast to coast
boxing in all the prominent cities in
the United States and Canada, it may
be said that he has defeated s UGH
prominent boxers as Kid Lee, Jim Sui
Ivan, Micky Lynch, Tommy O'Rourke,
Pal Brown, Dale Gardner, Johnnie
Tillman, Kid Farmer, Brooklyn
Tommy Sullivan, Stump Goodman
and many others, winning 112 out of
100. He is 81 years old and weighs
1873 pounds, while Darnell is "a years
old and also weighs 1873, making it
look as though these two boys were
about as evenly matched as any box
ers could possibly be.
Eddy Darnell who defeated O'Del1
Tuesday night last at Hot Springs
and Immediately left for Pensacola,
will arrive at A o'clock this afternoon
and viii finish training tomorrow
afternoon.
Besides the two three-round prelim-
inaries the Darrill family in a novelty

CITY ENGINEER To.
DUTIES Of
CITY INSPECTOR.
WAS REACHED
YESTERDAY AND MR.. THORN
TON WILL ISSUE PERMITS, ETC,
COVERING OTHER OFFICE.

Until the June elections City Engi-
neer Earl Thornton will act as city
buil1ing inspector, assuming, by direc-
ton of the commissioner, the duties
of the building inspector during the
next several months. Orders to that
effect were issued from the mayors
office yesterday, and it is said there
will be saving of several hundred
dollars which would ordinarily have
gone to the building inspector, but the
latter office will be vacated on Mon
day of next week when G. E. Shack
Chords resignation takes effect, en-
abling him to take the position as
county tax assessor.
The arrangement to have the city
engineer perform the duties of the
building Inspector was proposed dur
ing the week, and shortly thereafter
an investigation was made, relative to
the work performed in each office.
1t was concluded, it is said, that the
city engineer has NOT d great many
things to do at the present time, and
there is not great deal of building
going on right now. Rather than fill
the office for a few months, and then
possibly have to let out the possible
appointee, the decision to let the city
engineer do the work was arrived at,
and letter received by Mr.. Thornton
last night notifies him officially of
the new arrangement.

cheap "rufage" into profit and makes
in the end prosperous community.
Then he emphasized the need of a
silo on every farm. This means that
it would keep more stock, saves the
whole crop, no waste in the feeding;
the silage is winter pasture and helps
utilize other feeds. The grain food
showed 2.46, while tn silage food,
5.86 per cent. To make cheap beef
it requires less grain for food.
"Give pigs something else beside
pasture, for pasture alone is unprofi-
table. You cannot grow pigs on corn
alone" said he, following his chart
and showing that Florida was down
at the bottom as a pork producing
state, but that pork could be produced
here at 3 cents per pound, while in
Iowa, where most of the pork comes
from, it costs 4 cents.
He gave advice on the cholera, ana
said it was not proper not to attempt
to raise hogs because of a fear
of cholera. He gave some rules to
keep down the disease. IF exposed to
cholera, he said, vaccinate them with
out delay and to burn dead hogs
never to leave them where the buzz
yards could get at them, for, he said,
that big bird was the greatest source
of spreading cholera germs that is
known.
Closing his interesting talk Prof.
McElroy said that the one-crop plan
leads to poverty, to mortgages, to
credits, to debts, to death, while the
diversified farming leads to wealth.
"Let US feed ourselves" said he.
"Have more gardens, more poultry,
more cattle, more horses and mules,
and be prosperous"
PROF. HOLROYD TALKS.
Prof. Holroyd confined his remarks
almost entirely to the tick question,
and said that, without the tick Flo
rida could feed the nation" and said
that he was going to prove it.
The impression which he made pos
sibly warrants the statement that he
amply proved the danger, the menace
of the cattle tick, and he also proved
that tick eradication is one of the big
gest questions that is now facing the
people, not only of Florida, but of the
entire quarantine regions of the
southland. He also useo the chart
covering this question and strongly
recommended the dipping vat,
whether individual or community
watts, saying that the federal govern
ment stood ready at all times to aid
in tick eradication. He described the
manner in which the tick feeds, fat
tens and spreads from season to sea-
son, and showed by illustration and
explanation what ravages the para
site makes on Florida cattle, especi-
ally, lessening the production of
meats, milk and fats, and then he
showed the advantages to the stock
grower who gave the tick his atten-
ton, dipping cattle at small cost and
getting such handsome return on the
small investment for meats, hides and
other products.
Following Prof. Holroyd the meet
ing came to an end, but many Pen
sacola man who was in the audience
said that the questions had been pre-
scented to them in the most clear and
indisputably correct light they had
ever heard.
