CULPEPPER AT HIS
BEST LAST NIGHT;
LARGE CROWD PRESENT

Last night Mr.. Culpepper dwelt on
the Apocalyse-the book from which
he read; its connection with the ra-
pidly unfolding events of modern
times, the fact that its highly figur-
ative language will not excuse US,
in our ignorance of it's great moving
picture truths, and IT'S highly M
portant doctrines.
Basing his sermon on an incident
which fell under his eye fifty years
ago wherein bright boy raffled for
a beautiful, but vicious pony--rode
him to his untimely death-the
preacher grippingly related how men
ride the vicious BLACK Horse Of
gambling, in which he condemned So
cial card playing as far worse than a
silly waste Of time, and unworthy or
serious people In serious age but as
an actual feeder of professional gam
bling, which he steadfastly main
tanned and unquestionably proved to
be worse than stealing.
The response to a fitting proposl-
tion was enthusiastic, and gratifying
ia the extreme.
John B. Culpepper, Jr., with a
very sore throat, incident to recent
heavy labors, nevertheless led a large
and loyal choir in song The singing
was meeting OF itself At one time
the leader asked the children to stack
about the front, and he led them In
"a song all their own, and in a way
all their own. while the big choir sat
open-mouthed, and applauding, and
the audience clapped their approval
Mr.. Culpepper favored the audi
ence with a solo: This little book I
hold in my hand" which made every
listener thank God for his mothers
Bible.
The preacher specified dancing as a
growing menace to the prayer meet
ing, Sunday school, family religion,
and to the clean morals OF earlier
times. Withal II was a great hour.
There will be children's service
at half past three o'clock today, and
preaching again tonight.
Mr.. Culpepper says: Let 1t rain,
like circus day. the Fourth of July
and Christmas does, and just come OF
anyhow. REPORTER

ONLY SEVEN STATES IN UNION HAVE
LOWER DEATH RATE Than FLORIDA

Yesterdays Jacksonville Times
Union says:
According to mortality statistics,
recently issued by the federal gov
ernment, only seven states 'out OF
thirty-one can boast of lower death
rates than Florida, the Florida fig-
ures being 1877 per 1000 population,

The highest rate-24.3 3 per 1000
is recorded against Maryland, while
Washington state, with its 1915 per
cen cent tops the list as having the
lowest death rate.
Florida Health Resort
Health authorities here say this
puts Florida strictly in a health re-
sort class, and the figures are con-
sIdered phenomenal in view of the
many handicaps under which Florida
labors4 In this connection, 1t Is
pointed out that annually, particular
ly with the advent of cold weather,
thousands of elderly people in poor
health flock to the state to escape the
rigors of northern winters.
The negro population of Florida,
which amounts to about 40 per cent
is another factor which enters in the
handicap, as does the many non-resi-
dent invalids found at seashore re-
sorts as we'll as inland towns both

VETERANS ARE TO BE
HOUSED In SCHOOL HOUSES

Tallahassee, Fla, Sept. 30, 1920.
Comrades:
The following important notice has
been received from General N. B.
Forrest, general secretary OF the Re-
union Committee:
THE Houston Reunion Committee
advise that they have been compelled
to change the plan of housing the
Veterans for the reunion, and that In
stead of housing them in tents, that
they will be placed in school houses
as at the Tulsa Reunion.
A central mess hall has been es'
tablished where meals will be fur
nished to the Veterans without cost
and every possible arrangement Ii
being made for their comfort and CON
venience.
The Reunion Committee regret u
announce that they were unable tt
get the necessary cots and blanket:
from the government, and are there
fore compelled to ask each Veteran
who desires to be entertained by tn
committee to bring MS own blanket
with him. Efforts have been made Il
purchase or rent these blankets with
out success, and the only plan lei
is for the Veterans to bring the blan
kets with them. The Committee haV'
purchased at an expense of over s2O'
600 several thousand new mattresse
for the Veterans to sleep on, and IL 1
believed that they will be much NOR
comfortable under this plan than the
would on cots in the encampment'
Each Veteran who desires to be en-
tertained by the committee Will D
governed accordingly, and take al
blankets with him.
Yours very truly.
