GEN. WOODS WONDERFUL VISION

In the process Of demonstrating
Gen. Leonard Woods supreme quail
fications for the republican nomina-
tion for president, the esteemed
Tribune tells us that
In 1902 he attended the maneuv.
res of the German army. The Kaiser
thought his quiet, unflatterable visitor
was dull-not aware that his keen
mind had keenly pierced the Kaiser's
secret. A danger threatened America
and the world, and Gen. Wood saw it.
Very interesting, indeed, but hav-
ing pierced the Kaisers secret and
perceived the danger to America and
the world, what did Gen. Wood do
about it? Apparently he told nobody
not even his friend President Roose.
velt, who a few years later supported
Austria Hungary in taking over Bosnia
and Herzegovina, which was one of
the preliminary steps to the world
war.
Without disparagement to Gen.
Woods psychic qualities, we strongly
suspect that his vision in this matter
was mostly hindsight. like other peo.
pies vision. If it was otherwise he
made singularly profitless use of
the secret he had pierced. World.

Natural Bridge Before the war 1t
was the home Of culture and refine
ment, the all of social Joy Of some of
the most distinguished families of our
state. 1t was the home of business
and professional men Of Tallahassee,
that peaceful village center where the
planter turned for rest after the weary
day on the plantation There were
the homes of Ex-Governor Brown, the
Maxwells, the Footmans. the Bur
rough's the Chaires' the family Of
Judge T. Archer, Judge Douglas, the
Screyens. Col. George T Ward, the.
Crooms. Randolphs, the Denhams, the
Houstons, the Adams, the Duvals, the
Parkhills, the Boards and kinred souls
that have demonstrated Florida, in
every field of worthy achievement.
1.-The booming of cannon awakened
this slumbering village to vigorous
consciousness and that spirited action
that is the peculiar glory, especially of
Dixie's daughters. Under the leader
ship of James H. Randolph and the
matrons of the village inspired by the
nearby noise of battel, maidens and
matrons met at the little railway sta
ton and with prayers to God and hope
in Him, piled their busy fingers in the
work of scraping lint and rolling ban
dages. And are they less veterans:
All honor and God bless the memory
of Bellair and these noble people
whose lives gave it name so wonder
fully fair, and an unforgettabIe place
in the lives of their children and their
children's children.
AS | sit in this chamber and pen
these thoughts, I turn to one of these
former Bellair girls-one of these Re-
lief Corps Veterans of March 9th, who
honors me by bearing my name and
has followed me now for AZ years al
ways on duty, responsive to the call
for service as wife and mother She
should be with you if | could accept
your cordial invitation.

HEROES AND HERoiNEs or OLD
BELLAIR


Major B. w. Partridge Of Monticello
writes an article on the Battle Of
Natural Bridge, about on the same
lines as the article contributed to the
Banner by Mr.. W. E. McGahagin,
Commander Of Marion Camp No. So,
and takes occasion to pay the folliw
ing beautiful compliment to the ante
bellum residents of Bellair.
The memory of the event is we'll
worth while. The expedition was well
planned, the surprise feature OF It a
remarkable success, the mobilizing OF
the fragments that met the invasion
a military wonder, based upon that
desperate courage peculiar to the Con
federate men and boys of the Co.'S.
..All honor to those few organized
troops who met the invasion at the
water line and stemmed the tide,
awaiting the consolidation of the gath
ering fragments; all honor to the old
men and boys who became veterans in
day: all honor to the corps OF cadets
from the seminary at Tallahassee,
who were quick to form ranks and
march to the front shall always
feel an interest in this corps and its
history when remember that its com
mander, Captain John Wesley Weth-
ington, was my comrade in Co. Fl. 3rd
Fla. Inf, that he was desperately
wounded at the battle of Perryville,
KY, before he was Is years old; that
he was discharged on account OF his
disability and that he showed up in
the right place when men were in
demand.
Il might close this rambling effort
right here-full of the consciousness
of it's human frailty, its egotism il
you please-but fair play is jewel SC
let me attempt sequel to the nara
tive.
There be some living very few
and there be the children and the chill
dren's children who at the name OF
Bellair will rise up and say God Bless
Her" Bellair is four miles south Of
Tallahassee and eight miles north o.

GOLF HAS MADE FLORIDA LEAD.
ING WINTER RESORT

A writer in Chicago paper has the
following to say about golf
"A few years ago our wealthy men
sought means of getting away from
the cold weather and they used to
journey to Florida, where they spent
their time fishing and hunting, but the
hotels were small and the tourists so
few in number that little attention
was paid to them by the local resi-
dents.
About this time golf secured foot
ing in the north and some of the play
ers took their clubs with them and
attempted to play little during the
winter months. Belleair was in its in
fancy, but the management was quick
to see the possibilities of the game,
and they constructed course to meet
the requirements of the players. The
first courses were crude affairs, with
little turf on the fairways and sand
greens, but they gave the golfers a
chance to play, and Belleair imme-
diately became the most popular wint-
er resort in America
FLORIDA was known as the ile-aa
of the sand green, but with tso ad.
vancement of the game they have
perfected their methods of growing
good turf, and most OF the leading
Florida courses today have turf greens.
which are little short of those We
have right here in Chicago What
those turf green's cost to build and
keep in condition goodness only
knows, but Mr. Golfer knows what
he wants, and the Florida resorts
nave made it their business to see
that he gets it. No better illustration
of the growth Of the~g game could be
found than the development of these
courses, and golf alone has made
Florida the greatest winter play
ground in the world

In Wall Street
Selling Copper to France

Since the Copper Export Association
put into operation it's plan for selling
copper to foreign consumers under
revolving credit France has contracted
to buy between 5000 and 10000 tons,
and arrangements to sell a similar ton
mage to that country are understood
TO be pending. The original plan Of
the producers here for an American
finance corporation to provide the
credits for the European buyers is be-
lieved to have been abandoned. 1t was
said yesterday that the prcsens ar
rangement is working out satisfactorily,
as the notes of the purchasers are
guaranteed by the best French banks
and for this reason are discountable at
the New York banks. These credits
mature every three or four months,
but at the end of that period are
understood to be renewable.
New-York tribune., 1920-05-12
An Unequal Ratio

Many brokers say that never before
IN their experience in Wall Street has
the proportion existing between call
and time loans been so great as at
present This condition is pointed to
as one Of the explanations for the
vide day to day fluctuations in the
call rate. In normal times it is said
that the volume OF time and call loans
carried by Stock Exchange firms is
about equally divided. But the in
Of Wall Street has brought about such
change in this condition that in
some instances the amount of call
loans is now seven times greater
than those running for from thirty
days to six months. This UNEQUAL
ratio is attributed mainly to the re-
tusal OF banks to renew maturing
time loans except in isolated cases.

that no issue was imminent and the an
