Dear Sir: With your permission /
will reply to our old friend. Capt. J. C.
Patterson and others who are DESTROYS
to know what the status of the Cen
tennial project is, that the COMMITTEES
of one hundred so proudly launched
few months ago. ! might say she is
now safely, though restless, at her
moorings awaiting the action of the
next session of the state legislature
and the construction of political fences
by the national representatives in
Washington when they will have more
time to consider our appeals, when the
committee of one hundred, with many
added, will move on like steam roller
panoplied with further legislative en-
dorsenents and financial aid from the
state of Florida, and then on to Wash
ington for an appropriation from Con-
gress. Our representatives have sig
nified their intention to place our
claims before the committee on Indus
trial Art and Expeditions.
The committee has been appointed
and they have prepared their data to
further our claims to the above men
toned congressional Dody. NOW, just
wait until the political horizon has
cleared up--the clouds and storms of
political strife have rolled away, and
we will be on hand pleading for our
own to place the Centennial City where
it belongs on the front page of Prog
ress and Prosperity. For these rea-
sons:
/. Because of historical reasons;
the exchange of flags took place
here.
2. Because Pensacola is the oldest
settlement in Florida and in the
United States.
8. Because Pensacola has available
land to devote to centennial pur-
poses.
4. Because Pensacola harbor is the
finest in the world.
5. Because Pensacola is>nearest to

ity OF the charge as well as Mr.. Har-
dee's home people. Unless the fact
that he has made success of his own
affairs, and has friends who have made
successes of their affairs. be proof OF
the charge there is no proof. All his
life Mr.. Hardee has lived in this, a
farming section Of the state. All his
life his work has been for the general
public. AS country school teacher he
served the general public. AS an at
torney in this circuit where he has al
ways practiced it is well known that
Mr.. Hardee's practice has been a gen.
eral practice-for the people generally.
His practice has been drawn from all
classes of people and for eight years
he served the people of this circuit as
state attorney. In all his practice Mr..
Hardee has never been a railroad at
torney and has never been regularly
retained by large corporations. He has
probably collected as much money in
damages from railroads and other cor
porations as any lawyer in this circuit
The large business institution Mr.. Har-
dee has been connected with is the
First National Bank of this city-a
bank organized by the farming and
business interests of the county,
bank made possible by the farming and
business interests of the county-and
a bank which is today serving the
farming and business interests of this
county. This bank draws its strength
from the general public and as presi-
dent Of that bank for long period Of
time and through two panics without
the bank showing any weakness Mr..
Hardee has shown his fitness to han
die the large business interests of the
people centered at Tallahassee.
Throughout his career Mr.. Hardee
has served the general public. AS coun-
try school teacher, as lawyer, as state
attorney, as bank president. as speaker
of the house, his successes have been
founded on confidence reposed in him
by the masses Of the people. AS can
didate for governor he has followed
instincts born in him and emphasized
by the training of his daily life and
has carried his candidacy to all the
people, to the sovereign people who
make and unmake governors. These
people are going to place the stamp
of their approval on man who can
rise from the plowhandles to the sta
ton occupied by Mr.. Hardee today and
by their votes on June 9Th they will
make the condensed summary of his
life read

Texas is Jealous.

Texas is Jealous.
The Houston Post says: Florida's
first watermelons are in the st. Louis
market at 81 apiece. Florida's first
melons are not suitable for eating, but
merely to give proof to the addage "a
fool and his money are soon parted"
When "northers'' are still whipping
Texas with their tail, and when all the

is in barren oil leases, it is no wonder
the Houston Post is jealous.

How often marriage becomes d.
vorce! A tidal wave of divorce cases
has come as the aftermath of the
war. 1t is easy to understand why.
Marriage was entered into hastily, and
establishment came on better ac-
quaintance.
But divorce was here before the war.
1t is society's standing scandal Some
times the situation is as bad as that
described by the child who, on being
asked if her father and mother were
living. replied: Yes, 1 have three
fathers by my first mother, and two
mothers by my second father"
Sometimes the grounds on which d.
vorces are granted are no better than
that stated by the colored girl. who.
when asked by the judge why she
wanted a separation from her husband

And where is the man who comes
from the throng?
Who does the new deed and who sings

money is power. The farmers are the

WILL HOLD UP LOANS
Advances to Farmers to Await Sup.
 reme Court Ruling.

Washington, Feb, 5.-Pending a de- cision by the Supreme Court of the United States on hte constitutionality of the farm loan act, all future appli- cations for loans from Federal Farm Loan Banks will be held in abeyance, Commissioner Norris said tonight The policy of the board to suspend temporarily the making of loans does not affect loans for which applications already are in the hands of the farm loan representatives however, MT, Norris said, adding that such transac- tiOns would be completed under the regulations in effect since one system was created.
 Officials explained the adoption of the new policy as having been due to a desire on the part of the Farm Loan Board not to refeat the plans of individual borrowers if in any event loans cannot be made Should the act be held unconstitutional ap- plication for loans necessarily could no longer be considered.

 Mir. CottrelI says it has not been possible to secure disc harrows in suf- hcient numbers for the tractor demon strations over the state. and domonstr- ators at Scott yesterday telegraphed to the manufacturers for more impIe- mems The manufacturers replied that they had cars standing on their plat forms that had been loaded from eight to 15 days. and that they had not yet been able to get them shipped out. The matter will be taken up at once, and every effort made to secure the neces- sary implements to suppy the extra ordinary demand in the state, said MT. Ccttrell.

GERMANS ARE WEARING
 UNITED STATES UNIFORMS
The o. D. Is Being Disgraced in Ber- lin, Says Report Will Not Be
 Tolerated.

Berlin, Feb. 5,-Regulation United States army uniforms and overcoats are appearing in large numbers on Inter den Linden. They are con- plete even to the bronze button, but the wearers are not Americans but Germans.
 Questions disclosed the prisoners returned from France and Russia, where they were furnished clothing free by the association in charge of rehabiliating the needs of the re- turned soldiers. Aided by this dis tinguished dress some wearers are begging in the streets. The uniforms do not fit and appear sloppy with secondhand civilian hats and old shoes, and the whole impression is extremely unpleasant.
 Americans taught to respect the uniform are indignant. It was re- ported to the American mission, where an inquiry was begun. The theory is they were sold at Coblenz Or from the stocks sold to France, but it is felt at least the regulation buttons should be removed before they are worn, and the officers re- sponsible for the misuse of the uniform should be held to account.
 It is never tolerated in the United States and here it exposes to the smiles of the allies and insinuations of Germany is another proof" that the Americans sacrifices everything for the sake of business,

school gave a French play during

Vera Walbridge La Men de Paul
Blanche Taylor La bonnie de Sophie

The parts were each and every one
of them very we'll taken and the
pronunciation and infection which
the children managed so we'll showed
very careful training on the part of
their teacher. Indeed much credit is
due Miss Hodgdon for the time and
effort which she put into this under
taking, and we all feel that she
has accomplished much to be able
to put on these plays from time to
time. In the near future "Blne
