Two groups of Camp Fire Girls
have been organized in Tallahassee

Moore in charge. The young ladies
will be prepared to do their bit in
the patriotic preparations now in
hand with nearly everyone at the
Capital City nowadays.
Cards are out announcing the ap-
preaching marriage of Honorable w.
c. Hodges and Miss Margaret Will
son, both of Tallahassee, the wedding
to take place at the Baptist church
on the evening of June 9Th. The
bride is we'll known in Capital City
social circles, and is the daughter of
Mr.. L. P. Wilson. The groom is one
of the best known lawyers of the
state, and was the Bull Moose candi-
date for governor in 1912. The
news of the wedding will be re-
ceived with cordial interest through

NEWS BUDGETFROM
THE STATE CAPITAL

Tallahassee, May 22-Major S. C.
Harrison and Captain Corbine have
been seeing some busy times in West
and Middle Florida during the past
few days, arriving on Saturday from
Mariana, where a: company of Sc
men was mustered in, with a SPLEEN
did show of enthusiasm, according to
Major Harrison, who was much
pleased with the spirit of the men.
On Saturday night the first platoon
of the Tallahassee company, COM
posed of As men, was mustered in at
the Leon county court house, the Sec
ond platoon to be mustered in on
Tuesday night. Captain Jeff Walker
is most popular choice among the
boys, as he has been most favorably
known in Tallahassee and has had
splendid military training. Will Ap-
pleyard, who is first lieutenant of the
local unit, is son of Thos. j. Apple
yard, the state printer, and another
fortunate choice as to ability, char
acter and training, while much in
terest is taken in the fact that young
H. Clay Crawford, Jr., son of Flor
ida's secretary of state, H. Clay
Crawford, and brother of Will and j.
T. G. Crawford, will be second lieu
tenant.

COLORED REVIVAL
VERY SUCCESSFUL

"The New Birth" based from the
text, eye Must be Born Again"
from John, 81, was the subject of an
interesting discourse at John the
Baptist Church last night by P. H.
Nay, evangelist. He spoke in part,
as follows:
In explaining what it is to be born
again, we observe there are two gen
eral states described in the Bible;
the one a state of darkness, depravity
and guilt; the other state of light,
life liberty. And when God brings
a man from his dark, dead, miserable
state. into a state of purity, happi-
ness and salvation, he is then, in a
scripture sense, born again. But we
are not to suppose that the change
produced by the new birth is physi-
cal; we possess the same powers
of the body and faculties of the
mind. afterwards as before; nor is
it mere relative, by which we stand
in a different relation to God and
sustain another character. But it is:
% A divine change; a change effect
ed BY supernatural agency, hence the
phrase created new; born of God;
not of blood Tor of the viii of the
flesh, nor of - will of man, but

Little Nora was most pitiful
sufferer for two years" says Mr..
r. H. Garren, who is a local steam
shoveler.
"She had case of blood trouble
of the very worst kind. 1t was pitt
full to see her suffering but there
seemed no way to give her any re-
lief. She was broken out with sores
of the most distressing kind. Once
the doctor seemed to have the dis
ease under control but soon she broke
out worse than ever.
1--WE had heard of Sulferro-So and
at last determined to try it for Nora.
The results were wonderful beyond
our hopes. In ten days she commenced
to improve and her pain grew less
every day. She has taken two full
bottles and is apparently fully well
and free from sores and pain.
This seem almost wonderful but
it's true and we are more than CRATE
full to Sulferro-SoI for all it did for
our little daughter"

describe it. ~ 1t is an inward and
radical change. There are many
changes that take place in the human
character which are merely superfic
ial, produced only by selfish princi-
pies and leading to mercenarY ends;
but this change strikes its root deep
in the inmost recesses Of the soul,
and the man becomes a new creature;
he was dead, but is now alive; was
lost, but is now found; was far off,
but is now brought nigh by the blood
of Christ. (3) The change is univer

Ruling by o. S. T. Association.

An important decision made at the
meeting of the Old Spanish Trail AS
sociation in Tallahassee is to the eff
feet that the sum of $3.50 will here
after be collected monthly from
every county through which the Trail
passes from the Gulf of Mexico to
the Pacific coast, this amount to be
regularly placed in the hands of the
secretary and used to defray the
regular expenses of the association,
such as advertising, etc. This is
thought to be an especially provident
and sound measure, and will prevent
the necessity of individuals going
down in their own pockets at times.
Another measure provides that a
committee of three be detailed to call
on the county commissioners of each
county in order that the portion of
the highway which traverses the
aforesaid county may be placed in
good condition and so kept. It is
the desire of the association to keep
the Old Spanish Trail in Al condi-
ton for military purposes as we'll
as for general travel, and those vi
tally interested are determined that
the trail shall be kept in as good con-

An Important Conference.

A most important conference is
called for Thursday by Governor
Cats when Professor Rolls and staff
will meet the president of the Flor
ida Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege for Negroes, located at Tallahas-
see, and the principals of the colored
schools of Tallahassee, in order to
discuss ways and means whereby the
colored population may do it's i'm
portant part in food conservation and
food production. There are four hun
dred colored students at the F. A.
and NJ. College, and Tallahassee has
population of over sixty per cent
negroes. Leon county has one of the
largest negro populations in the
state, and a step of this kind will be
of the greatest value not only to the
negroes themselves but to the white
population who might be called on to
shoulder a great deal of the respon-
sibility of feeding the darkies if they
are not thoroughly imbued before
hand to see that their race as a
whole must take care of itself in the
coming crisis and aid in raising food
crop besides. Every negro in the
county of Leon is to be notified to
raise more food through Ene system
which is to be inaugurated as a re-
suit of the conference planned. Leon
already has many thrifty negro
farmers, and the colored population
of Tallahassee is of high order.
