pa. Thereafter the company &C.
quired, in 1887, the Brunswick and
Western railway and rebuilt it; in
1889, the Alabama Midland railway,
and in 1892 the Silver Springs, Ocala
and Gulf railway. Subsequently sew.
eral other lines were added to the
system.
In addition to the numerous rail-
way properties Mr.. Plant established
two lines of steamships, one in 1880,
to run between Sanford and Jackson
vile, which was discontinued upon
the completion Of the railway between
these two points; the other on the
Chattahoochee River. In 1886 he es-
tablished the Plant steamship line for
regular service between Tampa, Key
West and Havana. Subsequently the
line of the Atlantic, Canada and Plant
Steamship Line, Limited, running be-
tween Boston and Halifax, was &C
quired by purchase. In 1893 the COM
pany purchased the North Atlantic
line, operating between Boston, Cape
Breton and Prince Edward Island.
Mr.. Plants work of development in
Florida did not end with the establish
ment Of better transportation facili-
ties. Hhe strove to make the State
one worth coming to see, one worth
living in; and so he built beautiful
hotels, and for them created beau
tiful environment.
His son, the late Morton F. Plant,
inherited the task of carrying on all
the Plant enterprises. The Plant
group of railroad and steamship lines
in time became known by other
names, and the new combinations un-
dertook still more extensive activi-
ties.

Owen Reynolds spilled Florida

HENRY B. PLANT CENTENARY

Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 27.-In many
parts of Florida the commercial and
other organizations will pay tribute
today to the memory of Henry B.
Plant, on the occasion of the one hun
dredth anniversary of his birth. To
Mr.. Plant, probably more than to any
other one man, the South, and partic-
ularly Florida, owes the industrial rev.
olution which brought about its pres
ent prosperity.
The coming of Henry B. Plant to
the Southern States really marked the
opening Of Florida to the people Of
America as winter resort. It was
in 1854, the year of Mr.. Plants arriv-
al, that he visited Florida for the sake
Of his invalid wife, when access could
only be had by steamboat by the st.
Johns River. The mild climate pro-
longed Mrs. Plants life for years. He
saw the necessity of railroads In the
State, and 1t was in this way that he
began buying stock In various Florida
and Georgia railroads, though he did
not engage in any railroad enterprise
as a manager until 1879.
In that year Mr.. Plant purchased
the Atlantic and Gulf railroad of Geor-
gia and subsequently reorganized the
company as the Savannah. Florida
and Western railway. The Savannah
and Charleston railway was next pur-
chased in 1880 and the story of the
completion Of the Plant system, ev-
tending to Charleston on the one side,
to Montgomery on the other, covering
Florida and forming perfect net
work, would be to repeat the story of
railroad development in the entire
southeastern section of the country.
In these enterprises it was the pur-
pose of Mr.. Plant and his associates
to extend and add to the various prop
critics, and they believed this could
best be accomplished under aasingle
organization with ample powers.
With this object in view, several Of
his associates being residents of Con-
necticut, the birthplace of Mr.: Plant,
charter was obtained in 1882 from
the legislature of the State, and the
Plant Investment Company organized.
Mr.. Plant became president and re-
manned so until hfs death in 1899.
Among his associates were Henry NJ.
Flagler and Morris X. Jessup, in ad-
dition to a number Of prominent CAPT.
talists of Boston, Baltimore an Con.
necticut.
In 1885 the company bought the
South Florida railroad and subse-

GEORGIA BEATS

conferred around Cheeves, whose dash
cs were the outstanding features of
the Georgia offense, and went down
to defeat, 16 to 0. Playing against
Toots Perry, for two years scholas-
tic star, at Gainesville, Day, Georgia.
All-American center, found his match,
and during the first quarter and large
ly in the second quarter was unable
to stop the Gator pivot man who
ripped through, tearing big holes,
through which Florida made most Of
her early gains.
A perfectly formed interference and
the Crackers ability to smother the
Gator aides tells the story of the Red
and Blacks victory.
Time after time Cleeves would get
away behind beautiful interference
for substantial gains, while on Bar
chan's forty-yard run for touchdown,
eight Gators were lowered as they
rushed after the former Duval star.
Georgia played waiting game. It
was hot and they played for 1t, while
Florida rushed into full tilt with the
blast of the referees whistle In the
first quarter. Line bucks, principally
over the middle of the line, were
Florida's best ground gamers, netting
two first downs, while attempts to
circle the wings were smotherod on
every attempt, not one being success
full.
Georgia got the ball after about
ten minutes Of play and end runs by
Barchan, Roth and Neville, with a
plunge by Barchan netted the only
first down of the period.
The second quarter opened with
the ball on Florida's twenty-yard line
after fifteen-yard penalty. Hatton
booted to Barchan and tumble re-
turned 1t to the Gators on the next
play. The Gators started rushing
again, and got first down, when
tumble interfered. The Gators held,
but Cleeves broke away on fake and
dashed twenty-five yards.
But 1t was the only shining light of
the period for the Crackers. The
Gators took the ball away from them
and had added another series of rush
es for another first down when the
whistle stopped the attack.
Then Georgia came back, still rely.
ing on straight football.
The second half opened with an ex-
change Of punts with the lines hold
ing tight. Day braced and while he
plugged the center hole he could not
move Perry when Georgia had the
ball.
Dashes by Cheeves for twelve, thir-

GERMANS HAVE TO
HAVE OUR COTTON
(By Associated Press.)

Berlin, Oct. American cotton
must be bought by Germans at any
cost, in the opinion Of the German
textile experts, though they groan
when they think of the prices. These
experts estimate that American COT
ton will cost in Germany about nine
and one-half marks for the German
pound which is somewhat heavier
than the American. This price is In
Fart owing to the low exchange value
OF the German mark which before the
war was normally worth about "a
cents.
Some little American cotton has
been landed at Bremen, especially
since it has become possible to send
orders by wireless and thus avoid de-
lay of five days or more In cabling by
the way Of England. Experts say tho
Americans are anxious to do bust
ness directly with Germany and to
avoid any interference by the British
but the German regulations limiting
bills of exchange is a serious handi-
cap for it prevents the importation
of much cotton from America through
fear Of losses by exchange.
Nevertheless, the trade writer's
point out that English factories al
ready are producing cotton goods in
the occupied district of Germany and
they agree that if>Germany is not to
be overwhelmed by expensive Eng
lish goods which thus would obtain
an opening foothold in German mar
kets, Germany must have American
cotton no matter what it has to pay.
HONORING A GREAT PATRIOT
Monday, Oct. 9th, will be the birth
day Of Theodore Roosevelt, and pa
triots all over the country, whatever
be their party or their political creed,
are anxious that on this date the
American people generally pay tri-.
butte 10 this great American.
It is felt that the national ceIebra-
ton of Roosevelt Day will remind ali
good citizens Of the principles for
which our former President fought;
and that those who are inclined to
stray from the paths of law and order
toward Bolshevism and anarchy, will
be inspired with new loyalty toward
their country as they think OF the
life Of this upright, conscientious,
