EXTENSION OF BRITISH
TRADE in SOUTH AMERICA

London, March 19-Jorge A. Mitre,
editor of La Nacion. of Buenos Aires,
gave Great Britain some advice con-
corning the extension of its trade In
South America while speaking at a
dinner of journalists and public mer
the other day.
"It may be a matter of some con-
Germ to YOU" said Mr.. Mitre "that
Great Britain, with the control OF
roads, railways and waterways in
Argentina, has an inferior position to
other countries in the market. Take
for instance, the case of agricultural
machinery. In that line the United
states are ahead Of you because the
American has made himself familiar
with the needs and the fancies Of the
farmers.
"The South American people during
the next few years will have money
to spend. There is worldwide de-
mand for food, ours is food export
ing country, and prices are likely to
be favorable to the producer. We
shall want to buy not only locomo-
tives, plows and other machinery, but
motor cars, cutlery, plate, furniture.
jewelry and finished leather goods.
Who is going to supply us with these
things?
"One of the best instruments you
can use In shaping your South Amer
ican policy during the remaking of
the world is the British communities
already established in the South
American countries. In addition YOU
must send out your travellers properly
equipped. They must speak our Ian
guage. All the efforts Of British
manufacturers to meet the require
ments Of South American markets
will fail to be fruitful so long as your
commercial travellers are ignorant Of
Spanish.

capital to South America. I under

agricultural college than has Florida,

college some of the best scientific men
in the world are working for the agri-

WhirIwind Campaign to Pay Column
bia College Debt

That Columbia college, the Baptist
institution of learning for Florida.
will open its doors next fall there is
little doubt, judging from the prelim'
mary success of financial drive to
be made by the Florida Baptist con-
vention March q to 81 in the $40
churches Of the state and among the
65, 900 membership of these churches.
DR.. A. P. Montague, president of
the callege, is in Tampa and with
the Tampa Baptist ministers is secur-
ing the pledges Of Tampa Baptists
now. Rev. c. w. Duke, pastor of the
First Baptist church, who is also
member Of the central committee in
charge of the drive, and the board Of
trustees of the college requested that
the Tampa part Of the drive be made
before the Sunday meetings.
Tuesday afternoon the drive in the
First Church alone had reached near
ly $1,000, which is one.fiftieth Of the
amount the entire state has beer
asked to subscribe during the drive
which begins next week. The Palm
Avenue church, and the smaller
churches are said to be meeting will
splendid success also.
There is a debt of $4,000 standing
over Columbia college at the presen
time which must be paid before thu
college opens. The primary object o
the drive is to lift this debt. As .
further inducement to raise the mon
ey now the Education commission O
the Southern Baptist convention of
fered to give the Baptists of Florid'
100000 during the next five years /
:, this state will raise $250O00 for edu
cation during the same period. 1t Il
not necessary to raise the entir,
$250,00O in one year, but it may b.
raised at the rate Of $4,000 per year
No specification as to the use of tn
money except that it must be used To-
education was made, therefore, out o
the $4,000 raised this year $3S,00l
will be used to remove the indebted
ness hanging over Columbia college
A balance Of $4,000 out of the $50, 100
will be, added to the $4,000 coming
out of the 100000 to be given b.
the education commission of tn
Southern Baptist convention. It will
give the board of trustees of the col
lege $4,000 with which to make i'm
provements.
A central committee of seven ha
been instructed with the organization
of the drive. The members of thi
committee are Rev. W. L. C. Mahon

NEWPORT BUSINESS FIRMS ARE LOSING
 MONEY.

, As remarkable as it may . seem, there are still few
 firms in Newport whose bus , mess managers do not be-
 lieve in advertising. Such , firms are losing money for
 , that reason. They probably
 are making expenses, and
 even earning some profits,
 but they are not reaping the
 , benefits which a well direct ; ed advertising campaign , would give them. We are , glad to say, however, that , Newport business men are , advertising more than ever
 } before. That is explained !, by the fact that they have
 ! come to realize that it pays , to advertise-the Independ-
 p ent has proven that it pays.
 } A year from now more ; business firms will be adver-
 !, Using, because it takes time , to bring men to realize their ; shortcomings. And a year , from now the Independent , expects to be printing eight |. pages-all home print ev- cry day, because Newport
 will be bigger then and the , merchants will have learned , more about advertising. =

WHO MURDERED
 HIS WIFE AND ANOTHER
 WOMAN REPORTED DYING.

Dr. G. K Stephens has received a telegram from the hospital for the insane stating that Frank Johnson, a negro sent to the asylum year ago, is in critical condition, the out come being uncertain.
 Johnson, it will be remembered, was tenant on the Stephens farm near Newport, where about a year ago he shot and killed his wife and another negro woman named Bernice Sutton, and seriously wounded a ne- gro man named Crump Sutton one Sunday afternoon After a search of several days Johnson was found and brought to the county jail, where it was determined that he was insane, being sent to the state hospital.
 Johnson was one of the most inter esting figures ever confined in the county jail. He claimed that he was under the spell of "hoodoo man" who directed him to commit the mur- ders with which he was charged, and his case attracted great amount of attention.
