THE SOUTH IN THE CENSUS

Another Southern city, Jacksonville,
 Fla, has made notable gain in pop
 ulation in the last ten years. The number just reported is 91, ,543, an in- crease of 33,844, or 58.7 per cent
 Florida is not in a main track of na-
 tional development. It is decidedly in a geographical corner, and yet ranks we'll in the new census. s odoes the South generally. Macon, Knoxville, Chattanooga and other Southern cities
 show a much larger percentage of
 growth than has been made by the cities of the Ohio valley. The per |centage of gain in New Orleans is greater than that of Pittsburg, Cincin- |nati, Louisville and St. Louis. The most rapid expansion appears to be
 in the northern tier of states along the Great Lakes and in the southern tier of states. The Panama Canal is Ia pull in that direction. South Ameri- lea, Central America and the West h. ldes are there, and so are our own big Southwest and Mexico. Numerous large rivers but little used, run to the gulf. Mobile is building ships, an industry that looks inviting for any gulf port. Nobody down there is waiting for ice to break up. Their harbors and streams are never ice bound.
 Economic changes are certainly go- ing on in the South. Census figures are positive proof of the fact. Not yet can be made a full analysis of the returns, but they unquestionably point to what may fairly be called a new era south of Mason and Dixon's line. It is clear that Florida attracts hustling Yankees as we'll as the sick kind-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

WILLIAM H. GARANFLO, LITTLE ROCK BANKER GETS AN UNI USUAL. CLEMENCY ORDER BY PRESIDENT.

Wilmington, May II. - President Wilson today granted a pardon to William H. Garanflo, president of the State National Bank of Little Rock, who was sentenced to the federal prison for term of years in connec- tion with irregularities which de- veloped in the management of the af- fairs of the bank when it was forced into the hands of receiver in 1917.
 The pardon was recommended by both the comptroller of currency and the Department of Justice and state ments were furnished the president that MT. Garanflo has been found to have violated the national banking laws only in technical sense and had in no wise profited from the banks difficulties.
 This is, so far as known, the only instance in which the comptroller office has recommended pardon since the office was established and large ly because fthisfa ct executive elem ency in the case of Garanflo is to be regarded as outo the ordinary.

THE EVENTS OF THE
 SEASON ARE BEGINNING

The Misses Margaret and Mamie Walters entertained last evening with very delightful bunking party. At the appointed hour the porch and yard swings were thronged with hap py girls, laughter and gossip being a characteristic of the occasion. In the midst of their revelry they were in- vited into the beautifully decorated dining room, where Mrs. Walters served delicious course.
 After an hour spent at dinner they gradually separated into different groups, some primping, some loung- ing in the porch swings, while others were gayly engaged in singing the songs, "At Even Time When Lonli- ness Comes Round" and Longing, the sentiment of the chorus.
 Then to their surprise the approach ing footsteps of the opposite sex were heard. Startled! This was sur- prise that had not been anticipated, and again the party was divided into groups. This time consisting of two. As we did, draw your imagination un- til 10:30 where they congregated into the parlor and were refreshed with excellent cream and cake. Soon after nut fudge was passed. The usual goodnights were then in order and the gentlemen departed.
 Now the fun began in earnest. Seemingly the girls had no desire to retire, and late observer might have noticed white clad figures on the lawn. At 12:30 o'clock their N. G. & T. parade began and lasted until they were driven in by the terrific storm and not until 2:3O. o'clock did peace reign supreme.
 Those present were: Misses Louise Greeson, Betty Davis, Artie Duke, Evelyn Brackett, Lillian McKelvey, Marie Reeder, Birva and Mildret Hit and Minnie Wick.

~ the State street crossing he waited
impatiently as the long drag pokcd
along. 1t slowed down and nearly

ped short with a crash.

!. CHICAGO OFFICIAL
PINNED UNDER CAR
Harvey Rhed in Motor
Which Turtles Twice in
150th Saturday Night

Harvey Rhed. East Chicago council
man, had a narrow escape from death
Saturday evening when the car in which
he was driving from Hammond TO East
Chicago by way Of 150th street turned
turtle two or three times and finally
came 70 rest upside down with Rhed
pinned underneath Although partially
unconscious Rhed managed to crawl out
from under the car and was attended
to by DR.. Johns Of East Chicago, who
was driving by.
Rhed was driving cast on 10th st.
and had almost reached the East Chi
cago city limits when truck going
west swung from the right side Of the
street on TO the wider cement at the
south Of the car tracks. The truck and
Rhed's car reached the narrow part Of
the concrete pavement at the White Oak
car switch at the same time and the
heavy truck catching the hub Of Rhed's
Stutz caused the touring car to jump
the curb and turn over two or three
times.
Alderman Rhed's car was badly dam
aged but Rhed escaped with only a few
minor bruises. Luckily Dr. Johns was
following Rhed's car At no great dis
tance and arrived 20 give medical a.
tcntion almost Immediately. Hubers
ambulance came along at the same time
but fortunately was not needed,
The point at which the accident oc-
Cured is a dangerous one and the
scene of several accidents within the
past week or ten days. The concrete
Pavement at the south of tho street car
tracks IS wide enough for two cars to
pass. while the pavement at the north
is wide enough for only one machine.
In most cases machines going west take
the south side of the pavement since
the street car company has not yet paw
ed between their tracks and travellers
on the north side are unable to pass
slower vehicles which may get in their
way. At one point the south pavement
is narrow because Of & switch, which IS
also unpaved. Cars meeting at this
point must take to the curb or to the
tracks and several meetings during the
past ten days have resulted in the loss
Of wheels or other damage to the ma
chimes.
