Whereas, we all agree that there
is no evil which has ever been visited
upon any nation so hurtful and bane-
full in its effect upon the body polite
of said nation as alcohol, the saloon
and its attendant evils;
Therefore, as governor of the state
of Florida, 1 urge, beg and implore
each and every voter of the great
state of Florida, white and black, to
attend the polls on the 5th day of No
vernber, 1918, and there cast a vote
for the ratification Of this constitu,
tional amendment, so that in all the

Anti-Saloon league, and DR.. Lincoln
sHully, an honored senator from Vo-
lusia county, to sweep the state in a
statewide campaign of speeches in
behalf of this mighty, elevating and
ennobling movement; but the hand of
the Almighty placed the scourge of
influenza upon our beloved state, and
we, were deferred from carrying out
our plan. Therefore, we take this
method of substituting the speaking
campaign as far as possible, and we
believe that every newspaper in the
state that loves Florida, our great
president and our great nation will
help in this mighty movement to free
our homes, our wives, our children,
our churches, our lodges, our societies,
our state, and later our great nation
from the scourge of alcohol.
"Let me urge once more that every
voter go to the polls on the 9Th day
Of November and cast your vote

great amendment.

Beckett Paper
Company
GRANT TEN PER GENT IN
CREASE TO ALL employees.

The Beckett Paper Company last
week granted its employees a ten per
cent increase in wages. The increase
affects every employe in the mill.
The girls and women employed in this
plant now receive a minimum wage of
eleven dollars per week. The rela-
tions between employer and employe
of the Beckett Paper Company has
always been of the most pleasant ma
ture. 1t is one of the oldest concerns
in Hamilton and is always solicitous
of its employees welfare These are
the things that count and if they pre-
vailed in all our factories and mills
as they do in the Beckett Paper COM
pany, there would be very little labor
trouble in Hamilton. All those bene-
flied by the wage increase appreciate
it very much and speak in the highest
praise of their employers.

the council delegates are of the opin-

agreement with the Textile Workers.
Under the agreement he was to take
back all of his former employees who
went on strike first, and ask for list
of names from which to choose those
he needed first. There was much dis
cussion on the question and the council

in the names of persons employed in
