WHITING gives Knott a majority over
Cats of 36 votes, giving Cats credit
for 13 votes that have not yet reached
Tallahassee, the state committee to-
day, after one of the liveliest sessions
in its history, passed the Davis substi-
tute for the Adams motion by % to
13.
The Davis substitute endorsed all
the democratic nominees and pledged
the support of the committee, partic-
ularly to Woodrow Wilson, Judge
Taylor, Frank Clark and Knott, as
these candidates are the ones subject
to attacks from the outside.
Davis made a strong appeal to the
democrats and refuted the claims of
the Cats followers that Knott is the
independent by calling attention to
the fact that it was Cats and not
Knott who had circulated petitions to
have his name placed on the ballot
as an independent, while the matter
WIS still pending in the highest tri-
bunaf of the state. while it was Knott
who had said that he would never be
a candidate unless he received the
democratic nomination.
All counties but seven were repre-
scented, either by committeeman or by
proxies.
Immediately after the roll call Mr..
Adams stated that he proposed to
introduce his resolution early as he
was afraid the committee might adj
journ on him as it had done before.
The sense of the Adams resolution
was that "both names should be put
on the ballot" After much discussion
and many speeches by the adherents
of Cats, it was the concensus of the
committee that the committee had no
right to endorse anyone but the duly
certified nominee.
Immediately after the meeting adj
journed the campaign committee met,
and decided to wage a vigorous cam
paign in all sections of the state, in
support of the democratic nominee.
Hodges of Columbia, and Adams of
Lafayette, led for Cats, while Duval.
of Marion, and Davis of Orange, led
the fight for Knott.

out of Wilhelms-Haven,t the German
naval submarine U-53 anchored at
Newport harbor today flying the
naval ensign and carrying two
mounted guns.
Almost before the officers of the
American fleet, through which the
submersible nosed her way, recovered
their establishment, the submarine de-

bassador and departed Cat SID sub

Lieutenant Captain Hans Rose,

bringing a submarine across the At

a letter to Count Won Bernstorf.
He requested neither fuel nor pro-
visions, saying he had enough to last
four months. The submarine was
here about three hours.
Rumors are afloat tonight, without
apparent basis, that the Bremen is

LIVING COST.
DOUBLES HERR:
But Business Is Good and
People Have the Money
to PAY.

Unless shipments which are long
overdue reach Pensacola within the
next few days, it is likely that the
city will face a sugar famine. Several
of the large jobbers in the city
haven't single bag of sugar on hand,
and a large number of retailers are
not in better position.
The situation is attributed entirely
to car shortage, and the consequent
delay in shipments. When the scarcity
of cars became stringent many of the
refineries were thrown week or ten
days behind in shipments, and now
that some shipments are being made,
the accumulated business is taxing the
capacity of the mills.

In the face of the facts, it is con-
sidered remarkable that the retail

What the law provides and states
is that they have till twenty DAYS

ticket in proper shape, but in both
instances they must go through the
county commissioners, so C. G. Allen
and Mitchell may get on the ticket
through the counties but not by order

ford returned their petitions.

George w. Allen went out in the
instructions tonight as the regularly
nominated Republican nominee, that
party having had a convention. So
will Cats go on the ticket as the
nominee of the Prohibition party.
Cats also has petitions as an indie
pendent, but these must go through
the counties.

writ compelling the state canvassfng
board to reconvene and recanvass the
Alachua county returns, including
Cats sixty-nine votes there, and
such other amended returns from
other counties as they deemed should
be canvassed in the discretion of the
board, was denied at o'clock by the
supreme court because it sought TO
make a judicial body of the canvass
ing board, whose duties are only per-
functory and who must canvass all
that is before them properly signed
and otherwise regular and that only.
The denial of this writ leaves mat

Flournoy is through and the Sec

PORTABLE CRIB is FAVORED
Great Convenience in Feeding Hogs
in Distant Fields-Save Feeder
Many Extra >Eteps.

Portable corncribs holding from 100
to 200 bushels are great convenience
in the summer feeding Of hogs, espe-
cially when the animals are being
kept in distant field. Even when
they are fed in yards, the portable
cribs will save the feeder many steps.
If the cribs are built on skids, the
feeding may be distributed in summer
SO as to keep the feeding lots more
wholesome and the manure better dis
tributed. Many farmers use . wagon,
but when left standing out in all kinds
OF weather, the wagon box soon goes

and will answer the purpose better
than a wagon. The crib should be

soil, the transplanting being done in
such a manner as to insure the mini
mum check in growth.
Two or three transplantings while
in plant beds are essential to secure
short, strong, staiky plants with a
compact, fibrous root system.
In transplanting we move a chunk
Of earth about four inches square with
each plant. We make rows three and
half or four feet apart and space
the plants 16 to Is inches in the row.
Each plant is confined to single
branch and trained to stake. Strong
twine is used to secure the plant to
the stake, one such support being
used just below each cluster
The string is first made secure to
the stake. a single knot will usually
answer and then the stalk Enclosed,
a double knot being necessary in this
case. Ample allowance should be made
for subsequent growth of stalks.
A lateral will appear at each leaf
joint and these must be removed at
once in order that the entire strength
of the plant be directed into the
growing of the single stalk and the
development of the fruit cluster there
on.
In our own experience we have
found that this method of culture has
decided advantage over other meth
DDS. First gain is made in securing
early maturity OF fruits; second, the
fruit is larger and finer in quality.
While there are not 80 many indf-
vidual fruits as where permitted to
branch freely, there is gain in size
and very decided gain in the number
Of perfect specimens.

A good collar. fitting the horses

draft win do much to prevent sore
shoulders says DR.. M. H. Reynolds,

prevented easily by little care at the
right time.
collars must be kept clean to avoid
sores. Many cases Of sore neck are
caused also by loose names saving
back and forth until the top Of the

Some horses have abnormally
shaped shoulders. In this case, the
agricultural college veterinarian sug-
gests DR.. J. C. Curryer's plan of soak

just before 1t is used on the horse.
While soft from soaking, the collar
will adjust itself to the horses shout
