FRANK CLARK ADVISES
TALLAHASSEE GUARDS
10 Stand Their Ground and
Not Accept Young Cats
as Captain.

A special despatch from Tallahas-
see to the Tampa Tribune the other
Gay says:
Acting on the advice of Congress-
man Frank Clark of the Second Flori-
ga district, the members of the local
military organization, Company B,
are preparing to name a captain of
thelr own choosing, to be elected at
a meeting called for tomorrow night.
lhlS IS the congressman's suggestion
as the way the militamen should
combat the appointment of S. J,
CattS, Jr., as commander of the COM
pany. If they follow Mr.. Clark's
advice they will be acting contrary
to the implied advice of the Florida
senator's, who, in kilograms in reply
TO urgent messages from Tallahassee,
replied that the First regiment was
IederaliZed recently and the appoint
ment would hold.
In his letter to members of the
company who had protested Captain
Catts, appointment as unjust to them,
Mr.. Clark says he wants all infor-
nation and affdavits sent him at
Washington, where he will place the
matter before the war department.
"The boys need not be afraid to
make afidavits,' says the message
from the fighting congressman.
Governor Cats is out in the local
press with statement denying that
he appointed Sidney j., Jr., to the
captaincy of the company. He says
Adiut9nt General Christian made the
appointment. In a statement to the
Tallahassee Democrat, the governor
says:
"You can say to the public that
had absolutely nothing to do with the
of Sidney J. Cats, Jr.,
as captain of the local military COM
pany, In fact, l advised against it.

his home town, and on that account
received the appointment from the
Adjutant General. The governor has
nothing to do with appointments to
the military service. My son is not
anxious to serve the company now,
since some Of the members are so
prejudiced against him, but he would
not be true member Of the Cats
family if he permitted them to vir-
tually kick him out, and he will con-
tlnue to command the company until
it is in camp. If he sees proper
then, he will resign. Were he to do
otherwise would be traitous act
on his part. First of all, he will be
loyal to his government"

In statement issued at Washing

Tribune, Gen. William A. Mann, chief
of the Militia Bureau of the War de-
partment, expressed regret that the
state law had not been complied with
and Company B. allowed to elect its
own commander. But, he added, in
as much as the regiment has been
federalizcd and the war department is
concerned only in the fitness of an
officer to command, and there is no
question of the fitness of young Mr..
Cats, the department did not intend
to ine1vene.

FLORIDA FARMS AND HOMES, |NC, SELLS
SEVERAL TRACTS IN WEST PUTNAM
Taking Up of Large Areas by Big Ranches in Clay County
Awakening Natives to the Fact That They Are Sleep
ing Over Their Opportunities on for Ex-
tensve Purchases

1t is an ordinary sight these days
to see a party of prospective buyers
driving around over Putnam county
and the western section of the county
seems to attract them more than any
other. The territory along the Geor-
gia Southern and Florida and the Ro-
chelle branch of the Atlantic Coast
Line has lang been recognized as very
good grading lands. Old time cat
tie men say that the Carraway Sec
ton is known as among the best
grazing land ip~Florida as cattle that
are left on it the year round are never
known to be sick.
Between Francis and Hollister the
Florida Farms and Homes, Inc, owns
several thousands of acres of land in
what has long been known as "cow
heaven" With little drainage this
land would make one of the best
ranches in the state and there
have recently been negotiations look
ing to its purchase by parties inter-
ested in extensive live stock opera
tions.
Among long time residents who
have recently purchased land from the
Florida Farms and Homes, Inc, are
c. A. Smith, 105 acres at McMeekin;
E. A. Kennedy, so acres at Lake Ge-
neva; J. W. letter, 10 acres adjoin-
ing his farm at Carraway; J. W.
Blount, 10 acres at Hollister and Q.
I. Roberts, 120 acres at Grandin. In
this section between Grandin and In
terlachen Aldermen Brothers are fen
cling about FIVE hundred acres.

Farming lands are being rapidly
taken up in Marion and Putnam coun-
ties and the local papers contain
many items showing the activity in
this section of the state. 1t is par
ticularly noticeable that most of the
buyers are residents of Florida, gen.
orally men who have lived on or near
the land, they are purchasing.
A trip trough the territory around
Palatka and Ocala will show many
improvements, during the last six
months with here and there long
stretches of new wire fencing that
tells its own story of more land
taken up for raising live stock under
tick free conditions.
The proximity of the extensive live
stock developments in Clay county,
where siXty-two thousand acres in one
ranch and fourteen thousand in an
other have been fenced in and fifty
thousand more acres, much of it in
Putnam county, have been purchased
and will be fenced without delay, have
opened the eyes of the old residents
of this section to the fact that they
have been sleeping over their oppor-
tunities and will be caught mapping
if they don't look out.
Colonel James R. Murphy when in
terviewed by representative of the
News stated that he had recently
turned down a good offer for the bulk
of his holdings in the Carraway sec
ton and his principal motive for do
ing so was to protect the small stock
raiser and farmer in that section un-
til he had an opportunity to learn
what was going on and get first
choice at the purchasing of land.
He believes in the good teaching do
unto others as he would be done by
and does not believe in the small
farmc" being put at disadvantage
without notice.

Acting upon the theory that two

night were Capt. Chortl' and Herman

to escape from the interned German
raiders at the Philadelphia Navy
Yard, Chief of Police fred Link locked

self open to suit for false arrest. The
men have not been Seen since around
Paris, and the supposit.on is that they
left the city the moment they were
given their liberty.
Chief Link stated that his suspicious
had been aroused when he saw tina;
the men wore regulation United States
Army shoes when he placed them un
der arrest. When he accosted them
they pretended they were unable to
speak English and he could not learn
anything definite from them. He late :
called in an interpreter, but he, too.
was unable to get the men to talk in
any language he knew
After having renamed in jail over

Wednesday morning, That he and hi )
companion were Poles, and that they
had been working in coal mine in

MEASURE
PASSES THE HOUSE.

The bill propoupding a referendum
on measures passed by the Legislature
where property is classified for taxa
ton was passed by the House of Rep
resenthatives, at Frankfort. Tuesday.
without a dissenting vote. The bill
was introduced by Representative Oil
yer.
1t provides that whenever the Gen.
eral Assembly shall enact any law
pursuant to or under Section III OF
the Constitution as amended, classify
ing property and providing a lower
rate of taxation on personal property,
tangible or intangible, than upon rea,
estate, the provisions shall be subject
to referendum upon the written petit
ton of five per cent Of the legal vot-
ers of the State.
The amendment of Representative
Bailey fixing tax on property exempt
ed from local taxation, of ten cents on
the 800 for county, city and school
purposes was the occasion for consid-
cradle debate. Representative Hutton.
craft, Of Paris, contended that the
adoption of the amendment would
make the tax rate so high on this class
of property that it would defeat the
very purpose of the bill, that of bring
ing out hidden wealth for taxation
The only way to get out intangible
property for taxation, Mr.. Hutchcraft
contended, was by an efficient admins
tration and low rate of interest.

PARIS MAN CHARGED
WITH KILLING HORSE.

Mr.. F. b. White, of Paris, was ar

Strong Speech
On New Tax Bill
J. H. Thompson, of Bour-
bon, Addresses Scott
County Tax Payers at
Georgetown.

Mr.. James II. Thompson, of Bour-
bon county. seems to be having the
lions share in the aggressive attack
being made by the Kentucky Taxpay-
ers' League on the new Tax Commits
sion Bill. Mr.. Thompson has made
several vigorous speeches in opposi-
ton to the bill. The Georgetown
News has the following regarding Mr..
Thompson's speech there Saturday:
"Mr. James H. Thompson, a promi
dressed the taxpayers of Scott coun.
ty at the court house here Saturday
afternoon on the proposed new State
Tax law, as proposed by the TaE
Commission appointed by Governor
Stanley. and now being considered by
the Legislature in special session.
1.-THE speaker was introduced by Mr.
n. T. Armstrong, who stated that the
tax question was one of the most vital
in importance to the taxpayers of the
State.
"Mr. Thompson spoke for. nearly two
hours to an attentive audience OF
about one hundred farmers. He dis
cussed the question from start to fin
ish from the viewpoint of the farmer,
and its effect upon the owners of real
estate. He showed that the proposed
new law exempted property now sub
ject TO taxation amounting TO more
than two million dollars, and from this
drew the strong conclusion that the
deficit must be met by increasing the
taxes OF the farmers and other real
estate owners by increasing the value
of assessment. He said also that the
proposition to reduce the State tax
from 30 to 40 cents would create an
other deficit of two million dollars,
with no other suggestion whatever Of
any way to meet this loss, and said
that the farmers would finally wake
UP to find this added to their raise in
assessed valuation of their property
Mr.. Thompson's entire address was
based on facts and figures that demon
strated that the proposed law would
work a hardship on the owners OF
real estate. He further intimated that
the proposed new law was born in
Louisville, instead of being the pro-
duct of the Commission.

Smith was not present to hear farm

er tell the farmers side of the ques-
ton, as he had been instrumental in
having two members OF the State Tax
Commission, Messrs. Glenn and Hutch
craft, tell their side of the question"
The Mt. Sterling correspondence OF
the Lexington Herald says:
MIR. James II. Thompson, OF Bour-
bon county, delivered an address to a
good crowd Of farmers and taxpayers
of Montgomery county at the court
house Monday afternoon. The adj
dress was logical and forceful and was
for the purpose Of arousing interest
and opposition to the proposed tax leg
islation, now under consideration by
the Kentucky Legislature"
