Following Removal, Work Will
Continue From West Romano
Street Location
VOLUNTEERS
STILL NEEDED
While New Cases are Fewer and
Disease Is in Control
Work Remains

Owing to the necessity of turning
over the Emergency Relief Headquar-
ters to the Liberty Loan Committee,
the organization will be moved today
to the rooms occupied by the Army and
Navy Club on West Romano street.
before the club moved into it's new
building.
1t was stated last night at head
quarters that no more groceries or
medicines will be given out at head
quarters. These departments of re-
lief work have been closed, as there
seems to be no necessity for their con-
tinuance.
Donations of Soup Requested
Soup will be supplied today, and the
committee asks for donations Of soup
suitable for convalescents.
The committee stated last night
that, because certain departments Of
the work have been discontinued. an
impression seems to exist that there
is no need for volunteers. This is not
true. Nurses are needed, in order that
the few new cases may be taken care
of, and that convalescents may receive
attention.
Need for Vigilance
The disease has reached a very
critical juncture. and now that SO many
people are on the way to recovery, the
great danger is that there will be a
relaxing of effort to keep the influenza
under control. This must not be. The
greatest need now is vigilance said
a member of the committee last night.
The organization will go on with it's
work, from the new headquarters, with
the cooperation OF the local physi-
clans and those of the Public Health
Service
The Emergency Relief Committed
spoke last night in the highest praise
OF the men of the Naval Air Station,
who have been untiring in their ef-
forts to aid in the work of the organi-
zation. They have served in every
ca pacity, nursing. messenger service,
motor corps,-wherever help has been
needed. and without that help. and
their continued assistance, il was
stated that it would have been i'm
possible to check the disease!
Headquarters will be turned over
today to the Liberty Loan committee.
which will again organize their work
for the drive.
Relief Work to Continue
Lee MacDonell, chairman. said last
night: The work will continue along
the same lines. but from different To-
cation,-that will be the only differ
ence, with the exception Of the elimin-
alton of the grocery and medicine de-
partments.
1.-THE work must not be stopped
now, when the disease is under con-
troll. 1t will be continued. until it has
been entirely eradicated."

SECRETARY OF STATE CITED TO
CERTIFY OFFICE or. TAX COL
LEcTOR LIBERTY COUNTY FOR
NOVEMBER ELECTION

Tallahassee, Fla, Oct. 13.-The Su-
preme Court has issued an alternative
writ Of mandamuS to H. Clay Craw-
ford, secretary of state, directing him
to- certify the office of tax collector OF
Liberty county as one to which an Off
Ger is to be elected at the ensuing gen
eral election or to give cause why he
should not do SO. The writ is return
able Monday, October IA.
This action was taken on the tcti-
tion Of A J. Jackson, who ran as a
candidate for this Office in the demo-
cratic primary in June. 1t is alleged
that former tax collector Black was
suspended by the governor early this
spring and +. p. Weaver, of Bristol.
was appointed in his place subject to
the action of the senate. After his
appointm ent, but before Weaver could
qualify. Black. sent to the governor his
resignation. In this situation Jackson
ran for the Office without opposition
and has been certified as the nominee.
The secretary of state in advertising
the offices to be filled in Liberty couN-
ty omitted the office of tax collector,
taking the position that where an Off
Ger was appointed to fill the place of
an officer under suspension, no vacan-
cy resulted, a position in line with the
recent decision of the supreme court
on the subject.
The contention Of Jackson is that
when the resignation of Black was
sent in vacancy occurred which must
be filled at the general election. The
petitioner is represented by Hon. Fred
T. Myers, of Tallahassee, while AS
sistant Attorney General Charles Q.
Andrews represents the Secretary Of
State.
