LAKELAND CHORAL SOCIETY.

The Lakeland Choral Society was
organized to promote musical actVl-
ty and to provide a means whereby
all music lovers in Lakeland may be
brought into contract with each other
and work together to place Lakeland
in the position of being the only town
in Florida to have a Choral Society.
The society was organized with
sixteen members, with Mr.. Earle
Ceasero. the noted tenor, as direc-
tor.
II is proposed to limit the number
of members to fifty, and to establish
a waiting list, to fill in any vacancy
which may occur.
The primary requisite for member
ship is that the applicant should have
int least a fairly good voice, or a
voice which may be made so by prac-
tice.
This is absolutely essential, as one
poor voice will nullify the efforts OF
! the remainder.
All applicants will have their voices
tried by the director
The membership fee is one dollar,
which is paid if the applicant is &C,
cepted by the director.
A fee of fifty cents per month Will
be charged to cover expenses OF
printing, notices. etc.
The advantages Of sight reading
musical training, and the association
with the best singers in the county
cannot be estimated in dollars anC
cents. The society will have the bes
talent as no one can be admitted
who is not qualified. and to be mem
her will be a mark of merit.
The initial practice will be held II
the Lutheran church. Tennessee Ave
and all who wish admittance shoul
! meet there at 1880 p. m. Tuesday, Ma
? 30, or make application to the secr'
: tary. at 1907 S. Missouri avenue.
r The object is to have a three da
e musical festival in the fall which wi
a consist of the best oratorios and cal
g tatas. and also TO have concerts du
5 ing the months of September, Oct
f her and November The Festival wi
he given Christmas week.

YOU are playing. l think there ought
to be a Chero-Cola stand by each
base-is that right?-but if there was
only one stand | would like to see it
by the right hand base, because that
is used most. | think it is awfully
mean to make you boys play in the
hot sun without Chero-cola, and
know YOU could do better if you had
good cold, delicious. red drink of
Chero- Cola once in a while, perhaps
just before you have to strike at the
ball, and then at each stopping place
when you have to run.
- 1t you can't get them to fix it that
way, why don't you carry bottle in
your pocket?
Your True Friend,

FINE SPEECHES ON
GOOD ROADS AT
AUDITORIUM
LAST NIGHT

The good roads meeting held at |
the Auditorium last night was not /
as large as could have been wished, /,
Lakeland people being notorious for
their reluctance to turn out on pub
lie speaking occasions. Moreover,
there was some trouble with the cleo
trio system, which prevented the
lights from being turned on in front
of the building until after the hour
set for the speaking, thus creating
nothing doing" appearance that
undoubtedly caused many to turn
back under the impression that some
change had been made in the ar
rangements.
However, those who came heard
excellent arguments in behalf of the
bond issue, which undoubtedly had
its effect on those who were antag-
: onistic to the idea, or who were wav-
cring as to their decision; while
those in favor of the proposition
came away strengthened in the
faith.
Mr.. John S. Howard, president OF
the Polk County Good Roads Asso-
citation, acted as chairman of the
meeting. and in his Introductory re-
marks reviewed the purposes and or
sanitation of the Association, which
. is composed of over $50 of the lead
7 ing citizens of Polk county, men TAX
! en- from every walk in life. He then
introduced Secretary A. J. Hol-
. worthy. who submitted facts and fig
ures relative to the proposed bond
, issue. pointing ont the great saving
thai would be effected to the tax
: payers by bonding and securing a
system of permanent roads as
against paying out large sums an
nually for the upkeep Of clay roads
which at the end of period of u
years would have cost more than the
total amount of bonds and interest
and vet be practically worthless.
DR.. ]. II. Ross was next intro
duced and he made splendid al
- dress. showing how necessary goo'
:. roads are to the continued progres
!, and development of Polk county. Ill
\, declared that if we proved ourselve
:, wake to our opportunities, Pol
n county would increase in wealth an
lie development beyond our wildes
g. dreams, and that Lakeland woul
easily grow to city of 100000 IN
err habitants. He cited the wonderlt
sh development of the county in who
cy Los Angeles is situated, section ne
so favored by nature as ours, br
r. which through the enterprise OF Il
We pcople has progressed from small b'
a ginnings to it's present prospero'
&c. condition, the city of Los Angeles d
welcoming from struggling villas
ne some thirty years ago to city
of 575, 900 today. This rapid rowth nj
been the result of bond issue aft
es bond issue, incurred for the purpo'
of securing those things when
ar tracted people, frst of all for goo
&C. roads: and the outcome is that Il
section has so grown in wealth al
III population that with all these ma
Vi nificent improvements the tax rate
very low. Many telling points we
10 made by lDr. Ross, and his adore
has been complmented highly by e
"a cry one who heard 1t.

FIVE KILLED AND TWENfY-oNE NJuRED-BUlLDlNGS ARE
 WREckED.
CONCEALED IN SUITCASE
Blood and Flesh of Victims Scattered /Among pectators-Hundreds of Persons Were Warned ExpIo-
 sion Would Occur.

San Francisco.-Five persons were killed and 21 were injured in the ex- plosion of timeo bomb in the course of a preparedness parade here. It was said the dead may number eight.
 The Grand Army of the Republic was forming at the place where the bomb exploded. The veterans ap- peared in the parade unperturbed
 The bomb, made of nails, cartridges and dynamite, was placed in suit case in front of a saloon before which hundreds of persons were crowded. The building was wrecked and stores across the street nearly demolished. Persons, cut, half blinded, ran madly through the crowd, and others, panic stricken, stumbled over the bodies of the dead and injured, piling up heaps on che streets.
 Warning that an explosion would occur had been sent out by postcards to hundreds of persons. Small atten- tfon was paid to the cards, although every precaution was taken by the authorities in policing the right of way.
 Veterans of the famous First Cali fornia Volunteers were passing Stuart Street when the explosion shook the ground The blare of bands and the thunder of drum corps drowned the thunder of the explosion.
 Four men and a small girl were killed. The dead: William Turnbull, H. Winner, c. Lawler, l.. H. Sanborn, Alameda. The girl has not yet been identified
 Blood and flesh, spattered across the sidewalk and among the specta- tors, made hideous spectacle. Many persons collapsed or fought their way out. The police broke through the crowd with their clubs and cordoned the place. The building against which the bomb was placed was demolished. The parade was not interrupted.
 The bomb, concealed in suit case full of cartridges, sprayed the crowd as with shrapnel. Dozens of shells sprinkled the ground nearby, and the effective ones did most of the damage.
