Francis J. Pons3Passes Away at Home
in Madison.

Nashville American, Nov. 21.)
Francis J.. Pons, for years one Of
the most prominent of southern turf.
men and an extensive breeder Of
thoroughbreds, died at his home al
Madison, seven miles from this city
at TAO o'clock Monday morning. His
death was due to pneumonia.
Probably no man in the history of
the thoroughbred was more widely
known and loved than Mr.. Pons. That
the breeding Of real thoroughbreds
would be retarded, was an everything
source of fear to him, and his efforts
to replace the breeding industry in
Tennessee constantly kept the eyes of
the real horse lovers throughout the
country focused on his farm at Madi-
son. 1t was through his love of the
splendid string of horses he owned
that his death occurred. He return
ed to his home last week to SUPER
wise the training Of a nice bunch of
%yearlings, and contracted the dreaded
winter disease last Tuesday.
Throughout his life Mr.. Pons was a
man of charitable inclinations. He
was sympathetic and pleasant at all
times, and his help was extended to
people in all walks of life, As men
OF this type usually are, he was mod
est and reticent and abhorred public
ity. His death will be felt more keen
~ around the ace tracks of the coun-
try, where he spent the greater part
of his last years. He seldom spent
more than a few weeks at his farm at
a time, and only a small number Of
people knew him by sight on the
streets of Nashville. His reputation
as a breeder and owner, however, were
known wherever there was a race
track.
He was a loving husband and faith
er, and was w~orshipped by his chill
dren; and to these children and his |
wife heartfelt kilograms Of love and
sympathy, in their hour Of sorrow,
poured in yesterday from all parts Of
the country. A true and sincere friend
had been lost, and the messages Of
sympathy were no less sincere to the
bereaved family.
Mr.. Pons was born in Sanderson,
Fla, March 10, 1852. He was~ edu-
Gated in the public schools Of savan-
nah, Ga. Leaving school he started
life in the lumber regions Of Florida
and meeting success, turned his al
IGNITION and capital to race horses.
Shortly afterwards he was elected
% the house of Representatives. OIL
Florida, and served in that capacity
'or two terms. But being possessed
~ a hair-trigger temper he declined
serve longer. Old friends often
embarked of his ability as a politi-
ian, but Mr.. Pons had the far.sight
Q see that his temper would eventual |
Y get him into trouble. and passed /
lp politics. In after years he often
aughed over his experiences - rep.

Charleston, S. c., track during the life
Of that institution. Crooked associ-
ates in the venture cost him large
amount of money, and he withdrew.
Later he acted al secretary treas
urer Of the short meeting at Jack
sonville, but the short life Of that
track soon convinced him that there
was better success in simply cam
paigning his string. This he did until
five years ago when he moved to
Nashville and purchased the old An
derson farm, e Madison. Since
that time the products of the old Blue
Grass farm, as Mr.. Pons named the
nursery, have created favorable COM
ment at both American and Canadian
tracks. His nursery stud was headed
by the great Tony Bonero and Judge
Wright, both with enviable records.
Mr.. Pons is survived by the follow
relatives: Owen Pons of Baltimore;
W. c. Pons, c. F. Pons and s. R.
Pons, Of Jacksonville; Mrs. G. W. Day
and Mrs. N. F. Hammerly, sisters, of

of Jacksonville; Mrs. D. Fox
Swift Of Swiftown, Miss, and Mrs.
Blanche Woodcock of Nashville, and

The above relatives were at his bed

AUTO
PRICE ADVANCE
George w. Franklin Predicts
Increased Cost Will Boost
Values

That the purchaser OF an auto
mobile will never have another
chance TO get so much for his
money or to buy so cheaply. is the
opinion OF George w. Franklin, who
distributes the bort car.
AS proof OF this sweeping state
ment. Mr. Franklin calls attention
to the sturdy, efficient car turned
out today as compared with their
far less efficient prototypes OF few
years ago. He also expresses the
opinion that this present condition
cannot continue for more than a
short time, and he quotes some
figures. which make cone wonder
why more manufacturers have not
already raised their prices.
THE cost OF motors" says Mr..
Franklin. has gone up Is per cent
this spring: steel has gone up 10
per cent; tool steel has increased
200 per cent. The cost of radiators
has gone up 40 per cent on account
OF the increase In price OF brass
and copper: bearing metal has in
creased 20 per cent White lead has
increased $50 per cent. and colors
from 10 per cent TO 300 per cent.
and some cannot be obtained at any
price. Leather has gone up 25 per
cent, mohair for tops. % per cent.
All these materials enter into the
building OF an automobile. The
manufacturer must have them or
go out OF business. He is paying
these high prices to get them and
this extra cost of manufacture must
soon enter into the retail price to
the consumer"
"Presuming you have the pur-
chase OF an automobile in mind, to
say that 1t Is good tip 10 place
your order now. is putting It mildly.
You simply cannot afford 10 delay
at all IL you expect 10 own your
car a. anywhere near present mar
ket prices"

The use OF nails and screws In

story Of abundant supplies. little de-

This Is all In relation to the spot ar

this will not last forever. and IL is
believed that foreigners are taking
care OF future needs by the active
purchase OF futures. Every time

TO check the decline and much or this
buying Is credited TO agents OF the

STANDINGS
HAVE BEEN FEW

Towing and wrecking companies
on the Great Lakes have had less
work so far this season than for
many years past. according TO Jo-
seph King. Detroit agent OF the
Great Lakes Towing Co. This Is
due. he says. TO the unusually high
water stage OF the lakes, which IL
far above the normal.
High water means much greater
draft and fewer strandings, Mr..
King explains. Work in removing
stranded vessels this spring has
been negligible.
