H. c. PETTEWAY
ADDRESSES GOOD
CROWD OF VOTERS

Before q good audience in Mum
Park Saturday night, H. c. Petteway.
candidate for mayor, gave a wel-de-
livered and pointed address which
vas well received.
He spoke Of the rapid development
Of Lakeland until it has attained the
status of a city, and passed on to a re
view Of its needs as a growing city.
and stressed the fact that the coming
Of Southern College has added 10 the
spOnsibility OF maintaining here a
city, clean in every sense of the word
Among the reforms advocated by
Mr.. Petteway in the conduct OF the
city's affairs. is the quarterly publi-
cation of financial statement of each
department of the municipal govern
ment.
He referred to the platform OF
TRULY O'Steen, one of his opponents.
and said that there was little objec-
ton to be made to it, but raised the
question as to why Mr.. O'S' cen had
rot accomplished some of these things
during his tive terms as city commits
siOner
He also referred to the candidacy
of j. f. Council, praising him as a
man Of Judgment and integrity. but
taking the position that if Mr. Council
should be elected mayor and the citv
should habe chance to get a. second
railroad here during his term of Of
flee. Mr.. Council would feel obligated
to resign owning to his holding po-
sition with the Atlantic Coast Line.
and thus the city would be left with
cut a mayor at critical time.
There We're no other speakers, but
i. is planned to have speaking in
Mum Park every Saturday night until
the election is over.

PLEA OF INSANITY
In PEACOCK CASE
FREES DEFENDANT

The many Lakeland friends of DR..
j. w. Peacock of ThOmasville, Ga,
will be glad to know that he has been
freed of the murder charge hanging
over him since the killing of Chief of
Police Taylor of Thomasvlle last
April. The verdict was reached on
the evidence of the alienists who
testified that Dr. Peacock was insane
lat the time of the shooting
The evidence in the case was to the
effect that Chief Taylor had been
holding long standing grudge
against DR. Peacock, who was an
honored and respected physician OF
the city. Many threats against DR..
Peacock had been made, so that when
the Doctors barn was burned early
in April there appeared reason for
suspecting that the chief of police had
resorted to this means to relieve his
enmity. The barn with two autOmo-
biles was burned and DR.. Peacock
sustained some very painful injuries
in trying to save his property. When
the next day he saw his enemy pass
ing the window below his office, his
feelings overcame him and he seized
4 handy revolver and sho, inflicting a
fatal wound. In his delirium of out
ragged feelings he rushed down the
steps and shot several more shots
into the body as it lay on the side
walk.
Sympathy in the community seems
to have been with Dr. Peacock, and
it is the hope Of his friends that he
may now be able to put his wrongs
and his sufferings behind him and re
gain the poise and peace of mind that
he enjoyed before this unfortunate af-
fair came into his life
Dr. Peacock has been frequent
visitor to Lakeland where he has rel
atives and where he has had extensive
interests.

The days dragged slowly by, till Thursday came. Marys position a; the White Lodge was not pleasant one. For Eve had given her guardian carefully censored and edited yer sion of the meeting with Mary Drew and Dick Calardin In the woods.
 From Eyes description, one cer- tatnly would think that Eve had been the injured party! Eve had described Miss Mary as completely infatuated with Dick Calardin," and anxious to win him for herself! This wasn' | pleasant hearing for Mary's would-be lover, Darlington Bellairs
 oud no earthly business meeting that fellow Vandaveer and bringing him here" he had said to Eve, with considerable sharpness. T expect if the truth be told, that young Calardin and Miss Drew found the two of you in the woods kissing each other and generally playing the idiot and fool!'
 This shot was very near the mark.
 But. none the less. he had feel ing of definite resentment toward Miss Mary Drew. His suit" was not progressing in the last few days. The girls mind, too, was not entirely cen tered on her work. There were pe- riods of abstraction.
 Oh. we'll, he would put the ld' on the whole matter by forcing Dick Calardin to carry out his engage ment with Eve Rochester, He wasn't going to let Miss Mary slip through his fingers without a struggle.

PENNSYLVANIA ID NEGOTIATE RULES,
 BOARD INFORMED
Notice Served By Road at Conclusion of Charges to Comply With Boards
 Orders
By Associated Press

Chicago, July s.-Notification that the Pennsylvania would continue negotiations of rules in its own way was served on the railroad labor board at the conclusion of charges brought by the federated shop crafts that the Pennsylvania had failed to comply with the boards orders. Charging failure of the road to enter conference with the Pennsyl- vania system federation. the unions protested that the roads subsequent election of committees to negotiate rules, disregarding the union com mittees was in violation of the board s direction of April 14, to each road to negotiate it's own rules with its own employees. N. P. Goode, president of the Pennsylvania federation, told of the union methods of representation and detailed the shop crafts vote for representatives.
 After attacking the boards deci- | sions in several instances, E. T. Winter, assistant to the vice presi- dent, declarel the policy of the road in allowing employees to select their representatives by ballot of all em- ployes had been success, and the road proposed to continue such methods.
 Declare Action Illegal.
 Several speakers for the Pennsyl- vania declared the action of the board in July, 1920, continuing the national agreements promulgated ay the United States railroad admins tration was illegal, E. H. Seneff. solicitor for the road, declared the national agreements were continued in effect by the roads only because the rules were interwoyen with the wage question.
 J. T. Wallis, chief of motive power. detailed the open shop policy of the Pennsylvania, and declared that federal control had intrenched the unions in the railroads of the coun- try.
 Mir. Goode exhibited ballots to show employees were practically unanim ous for the system federation. He declar- ed, that despite this vote. the road refused to recognize the union com mittee. The company also held ar election of committeeman, through which rules were subsequently agreed upon and put in operation, accord ing to Pennsylvania representatives
 The Pennsylvania case is the first big dispute which the board has been called upon to untangle as result of it's order referring the whole rules controversy to the roads for negotia' tion.
 Meanwhile, failure to negotiate ar entire set of rules to replace the national agreements has flooded th' board with disputes. How it will dis pose of them has not yet been decided The national agreements rules con tinue In effect until the controversy is settled, except where new rules have been agreed upon to replace tho 1 federal control rules.

 Mary, very sweet and smiling. was at the rendezvous by 3 o'clock
 The station was, as usual. crowd ed. Mary searched the hurrying crowd with speculative dancing eyes.
 Yes, there was Dick-a smiling Dick-with a white gardenla In his buttonhole!
 Mary felt glad that she was wear ing her best suit--a festive little garment.
 Hello, Dick! You're punctuali" She held out white gloved hand "I lin awfully glad to see you, Dick!"
 And I, too, dearl" He beamed on her Mary, you look too beautiful for words!"
 She gave a happy smile Like every normal girl in love, she rejoiced that her lover found her beautiful.
 I've got a taxi waiting" he went on We have some business to attend to, Then we'll find tea room and have tea"
 They drove away together.
 The streets seemed very crowded now to Mary's eyes. Fifth avenue was packed. But an air of cheerful ness hung over everything. It coin cided with the young girls mood. Where are we going7" Mary | asked.
 Just wait and sec" laughed Dick. |! They turned into some side streets, and finally drew up before rather dingy-loolling office. Dick helped Mary to descend. He told the taxi man to wait
 They entered the building side by side, walked down a passage, turned 10 the right, and found themselves in small room, In front of table where two men were seated Two young men in naval uniform | friends of Dicks, were also there.
 "Cheerio, old chapl We're here on !. time" They nodded to Calardin This Is the first time we've ever done this job before"
