LARGE CROWD PRESENT
At MEETING. STRONG
RESOLUTIONS WERE
ADOPTED.
LEGISLATORS INVITED HERE

The citizens of Starkville put
themselves on record Monday night
as being opposed to the moving of
the higher institutions of learning
of the state, either sd parately or col
lectively, from their present loca-
tions.
1t is the expressed determination
of the community to fight most siren
uously any ymove designed for the
purpose of interfering with, or re-
moving any educational institution,
or part thereof, within the State.
A mass meeting of cjrizers was
held Monday night at the courthouse.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose of taking "such action as may
be necessary in opposition to the bills
now pending in the legislature for
removal of the A. & NJ. College, the
University Of Mississippi and the In
dustrial Institute and College and
consolidate them into one big :nstitu-
tion at Jackson.
Mayor R. C. Bridges stated the OBJ
ject of the meeting, to the effect that
he had letter from the chairman of
the joint educational committee of
the legislature stating that the CON-
mittee had set a time for hearing
from delegations from the different
communities where the state colleges
are located upon any objections they
might see fit to make on these bills.
Hon. W. W. Magruder was elected
chairman of the meeting and Mr..
Walter Page secretary. Mr.. Magru-
der, on taking the chair stated the
proposition before the meeting, and
also said that the citizens of Colun:-
bus were intensely aroused over the
question and were willing to coop
crate with the people of Starkville
in making strong fight against the
pending bills.
After several brief talks regarding
the seriousness of the situation,
committee composed of Hon. w. w.
Magruder and Raymond Goodman,
was appointed to go to Jackson and
invite this committee to Starkville
on Friday, and to make all arrange
ments for their trip. These gentle
men left for Jackson Tuesday morn
ing, and were to work in co-opera-
ton with a similar committee from
Columbus.
These two committees were to
make arrangements for a special
train for the legislators and prepare
the schedules. The expenses of the
trip will be borne jointly by the citi-
zens of Columbus and Starkvlle.
DR.. Hunter Scales was appointed
chairman Of a finance c"::.mittec to
solicit funds for defraying expenses
of the trip Of the committee. A good
sum was raised at the meeting Mon
day night and the balance was raised
by the committee Tuesday.
The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
RESOLUTION.
Whereas, certain agitators have
conceived an idea of the consolida-
tion or removal of the higher educa-
tional institutions of the state of

with the aims, ideals and accomplish

| STATE OF
DIVERSIFIED
PRODUCTS

The poultry and rabbit show at St.
Augustine last week is a reminder
thot poultry Is becoming one Of the
real industries in Florida and the
raising of rabbits, hares and pigeons,
Is growing In all sections of the state
in a manner that is most gratifying
! The exhibits Of poultry, rabbits and
pets at the Florida State Fair the
South Florida Fair and all Of the
county fairs has stirred wonderful
interest in these branches of the live
stock industry which is becoming
feature of the development Of Flor
ida.
j This is only another branch Of the
diversified farming and production Of
Florida which probably leads the
world in Investigation along this
line. For years lumber, noval stores,
phosphate, oranges and few tropt-
cal fruits were the only products OF
Florida, but the past decade has seen
most remarkable evolution in the
products of the state. We now raise
cotton, tobacco, rice, peanuts, oats
hay, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes,
sugar cane, sorghum, cowpeas, vel
vet beans, practically all of the
known grasses and forage crops, |
peaches, pears, figs, Strawberries
watermelons, canteloupes, pecans, all |
Of the vegetables, celery, lettuce and
a number Of sub-tropical products as
well as ten million boxes Of citrus
fruits which comprise oranges, grape
fruit, tangerines, kumquats and To-
quats. In live stock we have gone
into pure-bred lines of cattle, hogs,
sheep, poultry and pets Of all kinds
and these stocks aggregate many mil
lion dollars.
AS an indication Of the stability Of
the new era Of diversified farming,
one farmer, who is developing mod
ern farm Of 240 acres in Flagler
county, said to the writer recently
that he had been farming for twenty
years and he had never bought any
meat from the stores, as he had al
ways raised all his family wanted and
his family consists of himself, his
wife and seven boys and they all
looked perfectly healthy and vigor-
GUS. He said he had always managed
to make the farm produce the entire
living Of the family and whatever he
had over to market was velvet. His
farm, with its modern buildings and
a field Of Irish potatoes comprising
almost a hundred acres and other
crops in the making and good hogs
and good dairy COW all indicated
that he had enjoyed considerable of
the velvet.
With this kind of diversified farm
ing in Florida, the state is on the
high road to success, agriculturally
and financially and the prosperous
conditions now existing among the
farmers and live stock people will
Don have the effect Of expanding the
development, so that when the next
government cnsus Is take NV can be
pretty sure of making another flatter-
