LITTLE GIRL HURT
BY ALABAMA AUTO

A little girl named Viviani, resid-
ing at IL North DeVilliers street
with her parents, was quite badly
hurt when an auto, driven by Henry
Cans, colored, struck the child. The
auto stopped and conveyed the little
suffered to the home of parents near
by, and warrant was made fer
Cans, charging him with careless
and reckless driving. His case comes
up this morning.
The police report had it that the
child was hanging to the back of a
wagon and dropped therefrom direct
ly in front of the auto. which was
coming, following the wagon. 1t was
too late to stop, and she was struck.
The auto came over from Mobile
yesterday. The owner came by train
and Cans drove the car over, the
owners intention being to make the
return trip via auto to Mobile.

TOSTART SCHOONER

Everything is in readiness for
starting work by F. F. Bingham's
men on the second schooner here.
People are familiar with the fact that
the first motor vessel, the Stjarnan,
which he has just launched, was sold
before it lest the sticks, and imme-
diately upon the negotiations being
closed, Mr.. Bingham began work on
the plans for a second vessel. Be-
fore the Stjarnan was launched, ma
terial for the next job was on the
ground, and as soon as the site is
cleared of certain debris from the
other schooner, the newer and the
larger vessel will be started. Yes
terday people along the water front
were interested in the great keel
which was several days ago placed
on the ground, as well as several car
loads of material.
Great interest has also been taken
in the first schooner, which has been
launched, and which is now at one
of the docks, awaiting finishing
touches. 1t is recognized that this
is one of the largest vessels ever
built here, and that fact heightens
interest in the Stjarnan.

Tallahassee, April 26.-Among the
federal government experts who are
in Tallahassee this week in the in
terest of Kidding Florida of the cattle

headquarters just at present in Jack
sonville, who has been heard with
much interest by the farmers of Leon
county.
On Tuesday night he spoke at an
open discussion of the matter be
conducted in the house, and his ex-
pert advice and practical views on
the necessity of the eradication of
the tick were received with interest
both by the members and among the
visitors who were present.
No cattle may go from Florida
under the present quarantine unless
they have been dipped three times,
and certified, and as this means add
ed expense, additional trouble, and
lower prices it is urged that Florida
must get rid of the cattle tick en-
tirely and as soon as possible, in
order to eliminate these great i'm
pediments to her chances of being q
great cattle raising section, to which
she is entitled on account of gooo
forage, climate conditions, etc.
DIR. Nighbert is one of the recog.
nized authorities on the subject il

here will doubtless have a splendic
eject on expected legislation on thu
tick question.
The farmers of Leon county hav'
been wrestling with the tick to TIT

FOR FIT TEEN YEARS
CAPT. BURT HAD TO GO TO HOT
SPRINGS EVERY YEAR-"I

CAUSE TANLAC SET Me
RIGHT" HE SAYS.

Captain Walter r. Burt, who for
the past twenty-six years has been
connected with the Atlantic Coast
Line railroad and who is now pas
senger conductor running between
Jacksonville and Port Tampa, is one
of the oldest railroad men in point
of service in Florida. Captain Burt
not only stands high in railroad cir
cles, but is one of Jacksonville's best
known and substantial citizens.
When the Tanlac representative
called on the congenial captain at his
attractive home, 336 West 9th street,
Jacksonville, for an interview few
days ago, he said:
"Every summer for the past fifteen
years have had to take a trip to Hot
Springs, which have cost me in the
neighborhood of five hundred dollars
each; but / didn't go this summer,
because Tanlac set me right and l
don't believe I'll have to go any more.

great deal with rheumatism. MY
strength and energy were consider

/ The trips to Hot Springs seemed only
to bridge me over in way, as the
cause of my troubles stayed with me

the same expensive experience with

lief.

ton is greatly relieved. My appetite
is much better and my food seems te

ject.
Almost everyone in Tallahassee
and Leon county have flourishlng
gardens, but the argument is ad-
vanced that sweet potatoes neiu

dens will also help, and with the cam
paign now on to bring the "landless

lands of Leon" there is every lndl-
cation that this section may be able
to make a splendid showing for It
self in the next few months, If suftl-
cient energy is expended in the move
ment.
The funeral of the late L. L. De-
milly was conducted on Wednesday
afternoon upon the arrival OF the
train from Jacksonville, the Rev. ;.
w. Lawler, of the Trinity Methodist
Church, being in charge of the serv-
ices. The deceased was an old resi-
dent of Tallahassee, and a member
of one of it's most prominent faml-
lies, his death occurring Tuesday In
Jacksonville, as the result of old age
and complications, he being 10 years
of age. Mr.. Demilly was veteran
of the civil war, when he served the
Confederacy with much credit, SUI
fering wounds from which he never
recovered. During his years OF resi-
dence in Tallahassee, he had endear-
ed himself to all, and his death has
been a shock to many of the older
families who had known him init
mately.
He had gone to Jacksonville sew
eral weeks ago in order that ne
might receive medical treatment, but
his advanced age had prevented any
good which medical aid might have
brought about. He is survived by
several brothers and sister.
