3,1OO acres of land, and 500 acres Of
this land have been designated for the
widows and orphans Of the order,
while the other is for increasing the
revenue of the order In order to sus-
tain these widows and orphans. Fifty
families have taken advantage of the
opportunities given them by the order
and are owning good homes. On the
land owned by the order eighty seven
buildings have been erected, including
one three story brick building, valued
at $4,000, a sawmill, gristmill and
a shingle mill.
This is a new departure in fraternal
organization among the people, and at

has reached his people, and they think
much of him. He has ever been ready
to encourage any enterprise among the
people, assisting the young men and
women struggling for an education,

FOR NEW
ARMYENROUT TE
NUMBER FROM SEVERAL WEST
FLORIDA COUN TIES PASS
THROUGH CITY ON WAY TO
TRAINING CAMP.

Though the quota from this county
was not ready Yesterday, nearly
every other West Florida county had
prepared its list, and sent the neces-
sary five per cent to the training
camps. Numbers of the men who
were drafted passed through Pensa-
cola en- route to camp. and will be
followed in a short while by the Es-
Gambia men, who will leave as soon
as the cases are completed and passed
upon by the appeal board.
Instead of sending its original
findings to the appeal board and al
low it to apply the new regulations
concerning exemptions for married
men, the local board went over the
list so that the work would be com
plete before sent to the higher board.
For this reason there was some de-
lay in sending in the certificates.

AND
CANDY FIGHT
COUNTY COMMISSIONER AND
CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEE
WHICH URGED ROAD I'M.
PROvEMENT. HAVE FTSTICUFF

just before the Board Of County
Commissioners convened yesterday
morning, F. C. Brent and Commits
sioner Candy had an encounter on
the porch of the court house, each
delivering several blows before by
ISLANDERS separated them.
The clash was the outcome of a
controversy between the two men
over the work on the Bayshore road,
Mr.. Brent being chairman of the
committee which urged the work,
while the operations were under the
supervision of the commissioner.
Last week a statement was issued
by the committee in which it was
stated that some of the petitioners
to the board were indignant that their
wishes had apparently been ignored,
and intimating that unless the prom
Use of the board today the road was
carried out the matter would be taken
up with the Governor.
To this Mr.. Candy replied that the
statement was false, and though 1T
was not in the first instance credited
to Mr.. Brent. the chairman was
called a ''plain, ordinary, liar" ac-
cording to the published interview
quoting Mr. Candy.
1t is understood that the two had
not met since the publication of the
commissioners reply, and that while
waiting for the board to convene
yesterday morning Mr.. Brent was
standing in the vestibule of the cours
house talking with a number of citi-
zens.
According to reports of eye wit
nesses, Mr.. Candy walked up the
steps, and. as he reached the top. and
started to walk across the porch to
enter the building, Mr.. Brent rushed
out, meeting him half and asked him
if he intended to call him a liar in
the published statement, to which Mr..
Candy replied that that is what he
meant, and added that Mr. Brent had
first questioned his veracity.
1t was at this point, it is stated
that Mr.. Brent struck the commits
sioner, the blow being promptly re-
turned. Several more were ex-
changed before the two were separat
ed by Commissioner Soderlind, Will
liam Fisher and T. @. McNair. AS
soon as the clash occurred, according
to those present, Mr. Soderlind
stepped between the two, threatening
their arrest unless the disorder
stopped Immediately.

IGNORE COLOR LINE
in NATIONAL ARMY
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington, Sept. Allow color
lines have been ignored in the assign
ment of negro troops in the drafted
section of the national army is re-
vealed in General Orders issued today
showing the war departments inten-
tion to apportion the negro troops
evenly where possible in all canton
ments. The order, provides that in
every cantonment there shall be one
negro infantry regiment where suf-
ficient personnel is available.
Protests have been made against
quartering negro troops in certain
parts of the south. but no modifica-
tion has been made. The order is
taken as an indication of what the
war department will do in disposing
of similar regiments in national
guard camps.
Representative Dent protested to
the wa- department again today
against location of negro troops in
Alabama, but did not receive any
promise that they would be with
drawn. The department is inclined
to stand on its order and deal with
the situation as it develops.
