THE LETTER OF OUR HOLY FA-
THER-HE PRAISES WORK OF
GREAT ORGANIZATIONS
IT THE GUARD OF FAITH IN
AMERICA.

The following letter was written
last month by Pope Benedict XIV to
the Archbishops and Bishops of the
United States. The Holy Father
highly commends the work being
done by the Holy Name Society:
Beloved Children and Venerable
Brothers, Health and the Apostolic
Benediction
When we consider the conditions of
the Catholic Church in the United
States of America, we find more than
one cause for rejoicing. For, indeed,
neither in the Republic is freedom
lacking for the practice Of religion,
nor among the clergy, stimulated and
led by the Bishops, zeal and diligence
in caring for the salvation of souls,
nor among the Christian people, gen.
erosity for the maintenance OF divine
worship. While. however, we rejoice
that the Church has made so much
progress there, we may at the same
time expect great increase in the fu-
ture.

Dangers, Too!

Nevertheless there are causes for
anxiety. We speak OF the power so
openly given for divorce, by which
the foundation of the family is under
mined; the excessive degree of liberty
to which scarcely any authority, not
even that Of the parent, is sacred; the
opportunity offered to our people Of
mixing in various associations with
non-Catholics, by which the faith of
the youth is endangered in many
ways; and the common pecuniary af-
fluence which has always brought
with it many enticements to sin. We
know that many things have been
set on foot by you most aptly to rem
edy these evils, and most aptly of
all those institutions by which the
souls Of our children are so imbued
with religion from their youth on that
they retain constantly throughout life
the profession of Christian faith and
virtue.
Advantages of Holy Name Society.
And in this regard that organiza-
tion which is called the Holy Name
Society" shows itself pre-eminent.

has received several million dollars
as its share of the bargain.
But it appears now that a little
joker got into the new charter, the
company stipulating that at the end
of 20 years it would keep but rs
cents instead of so, as at present, but
it was not definitely stated in the
charter who was to- get that 5 cents.
Whether it was to go into the city
treasury, bringing its allotment up to
25 cents, or whether the consumer
should get it and thus reduce the
price of gas to 95 cents, and as the
twenty years. expires next November,
there is a lively fight going on as to
who shall get the nickel.
The gas furnished by the company
is certainly a splendid article, Civ
ing a stronger light than any gas /
ever used. l believe it is principally
made from water tho they use some
crude oil; and as to price will say
that my gas bill from July II to Aug.
IA is lying before me as / write and
it calls for 80 cents, and that includes
every household purpose: light, cook
ing and laundry and | consider that
very cheap-less than half what it
would cost in Ocala.
There is always something doing IN
a large city like Philadelphia. Just
now, it is bidding goodbye to the sol
dier boys; last week they turned out
for the last time as one body. They
were $4,000 strong, and they are now
scattered through the various camps,
the artillery and others going to
Camp Hancock, Ga, and the letters
received from the boys say it is the
most complete and comfortable camp
in the country and some Of them are
better off than in the homes they left.
One interesting sight here is watch
ing the aeroplanes flying through the
air in every direction. Some of them
seem to be partly ducks and are as
much at home in the water as in the
air, and after swimming around for
awhile they rise as easy and grace
fully as the sea gulls and are quickly
out of sight. But they make more
racket than you claim for the engine
at the Ocala water works.
We are having some very disagree
able weather just at present-rain
and ctlld, and it is only few days
since t was so hot we wished our
selves back in Florida to cool off.
There were 200 deaths in one week
from heat alone, and hundreds Of
prostrations and funeral or ambu-
lance was passing the house every
few minutes.
Am glad to report that we are all
well and that in spite Of the h. C. of !.

Sent in Offer for Conditional
Surrender
GOVERNMENT WILL MAKE No TERMS AND HIS MEN ARE
DESERVING HIM
Press)
(Associated Press)

General Korniloff's attempt to ov-
erthrow the Kerensky government in
Russia has not yet led to bloodshed
nor has it weakened the provisional
authorities. While Korniloff's forces,
are within> thirty miles of Petrograd
on the southwest and at Tsarskoe-
Selo, fifteen miles from the city on
the south, there has been no fighting.
Government officials say that Gen.
Korniloff deceived the troops as to
the purpose of his revolt, and as
consequence many are deserting or
fraternizing with the government
soldiers. Korniloff's only hope seems
to be the capture of Petrograd The
fighting units at the front remain
loyal to the provisional government.
Berlin reports many accommodating
parties of Russians repulsed.

PHILADELPHIA LETTER

Philadelphia, Sept. Ill hardly
think | thoroughly appreciated the
enterprise and liberality of the Ocala
Evening Star in furnishing the splen-
did reports on national issues and
war news till | came up here and
compared those reports with those
printed in the Philadelphia and New
York newspapers. Many of these
papers print 16 to "a pages, but what
with local items, state news and So
ciety gossip, they give their readers
no more news from the war zone than
is furnished every day to the readers
of the Star, and / think we all have
cause to be proud of our home paper
and should govern ourselves accord
ingly.
was much interested a short time
ago in the address of Judge Bullock
delivered in the council chamber on
the subject of 81 gas and the rights
of the gas company under its char
ter. More especially as at the pres
ent time there is a fight on between
the citizens of Philadelphia and the
authorities over a reduction in the
present price of gas.
1t appears from the evidence that
the gas works was the property of
the city and that it finally resolved
itself into political machine in the
line of New York's Tammany, en-
ploying scores, and just before cleo
ton, hundreds of men whose only bus
mess was attending to party politics
and boosting the candidates of the
machine, and the consequence was a
deficit of thousands of dollars every
year, this deficit of course having to
be made up by the taxpayers. This
state of things could not go on for
ever so a company was formed to
take over the plant. do not remem-
Der what bonus was paid at the time,
but one of the conditions of sale was
that the new company was to reduce
the price of gas from S1.50 (the price
at the time) to 81 per 1000 feet, and
of that amount they would pay the
city 20 cents, leaving them 80 cents
for making and distributing the gas.
And so well have they attended to
their business that the company has
paid a splendid dividend each year
and the stock is way above par, and
instead of being loss TO the city it

DEFERRED no SURRENDER

A News dispatch from Petrograd
to London says that Gen. Korniloff
has offered to surrender on certain
terms. The government demands un-
conditional surrender The strongest
Korniloff adherents, eight regiments
of Georgians and Caucasions, have
agreed to abandon the revolt if they
are allowed to return to their Cau-
casion homes and not be used against
the Turks, their co-religionists. Gen.
Patchinsky, second in command in the
Petrograd district, said the revolt
NAV be considered a comnlete failure.

SEA ISLAND MAY SOON
BRING A DOLLAR

Valdosta, Sept. 12.-If Sea Island
cotton should go to 81 a pound, as
now seems likely, before the crop is
produced, the growers would not get
Nes- much profit as they did last year
when the staple sold at from 25 to so
cents a pound, due to present boil
weevil conditions.
1t has been fifty years since cotton
has sold at as high prices as it is
bringing at present, namely 70 cents
a pound for No. / grade. Many for
tunes were made last year by buyers
who bought the staple at from 25 to
so cents pound, and sold it at prices
varying from so to 20 cents.
The farmers in this section declare
that the present crop will not amount
to more than one-third what is usu-
ally produced. The boil weevil, since
the rains of July started have devas-
tated the upper and middle blooms so
that the only crop that viii be gather
ed will come from the bottom blooms.
1t is reported that in some sections
of the cotton belt farmers are paying
as much as 81 hundred TO have the
staple picked. The boil weevil has ap-
peared in cotton all over Florida, and
as far as the Altamaha river in this
state.
The farmers here were prepared for
the coming of the weevil and have
planted other crops which viii keep
them prosperous. Thousands of acres
are planted in peanuts, velvet beans.
sweet potatoes, sugar cane, sorghum,
corn and other products, while the
number of hogs and cattle raised in
the county is greater than ever before.
There is a good cash market for all
of these products, so there is not much
kicking over the loss of the cotton
crop, especially since the high prices
will compensate for loses to a large
extent.
