Audience at Walhalla High School
Audit0rium-Both Spoke Well.

The Walhalla correspondent of the
Columbia State, writing Of the meet
ing Of two Walhalla orators recently
at the High School Auditorium, says:
'One Of the most enjoyable occa-
Sions in recent months took place in
the Walhalla High School Auditor
ium. when addresses were made by
two young men from Walhalla, who
have made names for themselves and
their home town. The meeting was
not in The form Of contest, but
simply a friendly meeting, gotten up
by several local citizens in order that
the people Of Walhalla might be
benefited by hearing these two young
men again.
Mayor w. NJ. Brown presided over
the meeting and introduced as tho
first speaker GllisL NJ. Smith, stu
dent at the University Of South Caro-
lima. 1t will be remembered that Mr..
Smith was awarded first place in the
South Carolina intercollegiate ora
torical contest at Greenwood last
spri.g Mr.. Smith used the same
speech that won this contest-"The
Cali OF the Ages" Judging from the
way Mr.. Smith spoke Friday night
there is no wonder that he captured
the honors at Green wood. While a
student at the Walhalla High School
Mr.. Smith won first place in every
contest that he entered, and has been
meeting the same success in his col
lcgiate course.
The other speaker Of the evening
was Harry Il. Ilughs. young attorney
OF this city and a former member of
the South Carolina Legislature. Mr..
llughS chose as his subject "Intolcr-
ancc.' and gave his opinion on sew
cral topics OF the present day. 1t was
Il well prepared and we'll delivered
speech
II is interesting to note that when
MIR llughS was graduated from the
University Of South Carolina the first
school taught by him was at West
Union. ana Ellison Smith was one of
his pupils at the time

thnt led Ponce de Leon, the
Spanish explorer, to land near
the present site Of ST. Augustine.
His rediscOvery of Florida In
1913 was on Easter Sunday,
hence the name, which Is from
Pnscua Florida or Flowery Pass
over, which Is the Spanish for
Easter Sunday.
The French were the next set
tiers, founding colony on the
st. Johns river. Spain promptly
took action to maintain her own
ership OF this region and sent
over nn expedition which erected
Il fort under the leadership Of
Menendez at st. Augustine In
1868 and extermlnated the Huge
not colony. st. Augustine Is the
Oldest city In the United States.
There followed u period Of hos
tility between the English col
onists In the Cnrollnus and the
Spanish In Florida. BY the treu-
ty Of 1769 Spain ceded Florida
to England In exchange for Ha-
vana. which England had cap
tured few years previous. 1t
remained an English colony un-
til the last years Of tho Revolu-
tion when Spain recaptured 1t.
There we're two provinces,
East and West Florida. AS the
Spanish ruled Florida with
very loose form Of government,
this region became tho refuge Of
pirates. smugglers anf 'awless
characters. Such an e. uent to-
gether with the unruly Seminole
Indians naturally caused great
deal Of trouble. To overcome
this, President Monroe pur.
chased Florida from Spain In
1919 for $6,000.OOO or about
eleven cents an acre. 1t was
organized into a territory and
In l845 was admitted to the Un.
ION.
FLORIDA is sometimes called
the Everglade State on account
Of the vast swamp-land In It's
southern part, 1t ls also known
as the Peninsula State and Is the
southernmost State OF the Union.
Its area Is $4,000 square miles.

Of hercin and cocaine were mobbed
while making an arrest in Mott street
yesterday. One OF them landed in q
hospital with several ugly cuts on the
back Of his head.
DIR. Carleton Simon. Deputy Police
Commissioner. is especially eager to
stamp out band of distributors CEN
tring in the downtown Italian quarter

well as to adults. His men have made
several arrests. and both by anonymous
letter and word Of mouth the police

next detective who tried to make Gn
arrest would be killed.
Nevertheless Detectives Patrick j.

ingly strangers to each other, but keep
ing pretty close together. loafed along
Mott street yesterday until early after
noon. when youth who later said he
was Antonio Scinto of 178 Hester street
invited Meisenzahl to step into the hall
way Of 121 Mott street. There 1t is
alleged. Meisenzahl became richer by
one pillbox containing heroin, and
Scinto by three 81 bills, each of which
the detectives had marked.
This exchange having been effected,
Detective Meisenzahl informed Scinto
he was under arrest and marched him
out of the hallway. On the sidewalk
Scinto sent up a yell that may be the
| railying cry of the dope pedlers' clan
Anyway, dozen other men suddenly
pounced upon MeisenzahI At the same
moment the other detective, Kirley. who
had been leaning against q wagon as
II he belonged there. his job on this oc-
casion being a waiting one, jumped to
his partners side.
The two detectives. keeping a firm
hold on their captive, drew their re-
volvers but did not fire. Bricks and
stones flew In their direction and be-
fore the detectives could back up against
q building some one had slipped behind
them and made three gashes in Kiriey's
scalp and banged Meisenzahl on the
head until he was dizzy. But still the
officers hung on to their prisoner. Holo-
ing him between them. the detectives,

bruised In the fight. Dr. Miseli OF ST.
Vincent's Hospital examined all OF
them. He took Kirkley to the hospital
for an x-ray and surgical treatment
He thought the skull might be fractured
and that bullet might have caused at
least one OF the wounds on Kirley's
head.
Only a few days ago Detective Kirley
received the commcndation OF the Po-
lice Commissioner for his behavior In a
sensational drug raid in Brooklyn on

CITY WON'T SWAP
COURT HOUSE SITE
Mayor Willing to Let Post
Office Have the Block
Further North.

The city has no intention of swap
ping with the Federal Government the
site OF the new County Court House for
the dilapidated and dlsreputable old
Post ONCE Building at Broadway and
Park Row.
Since Postmaster Edward M. Morgan
wrote to the Mayor raising the question
whether the city owned any property
that it would be willing to exchange for
the site referred to" there has been much
popular misapprehension concerning the
proposed bargain. To correct that mis-
apprehension Mayor Hylan yesterday au-
thorized the statement that there is no
purpose on the part Of anybody. so far
as he Is aware. to offer to trade the
rev Court House site for the old Post
Cflcc site south of City Hall Park" as
has been enormously reported.
Mayor Hylan said the block Of city
property which he had in mind as pos
sible basis for ALI amicable exchange
with the Post Office Department is that
directly north OF the new County Court
House site. namely, the block bounded by
Centre. Worth. Leonard and Baxter
streets. This property was taken by the
city under rdemnation proceedings at
the same time 1t condemned the site of
the new Court House. which extends
eastward from Centre street and south
from Worth street to Pearl. The laying
of the extensive foundations for the new
Court House has been practically COM
pleted at great expense. There Is no
| thought Of abandoning that enterprise.
though work upon it has been halted for
the present.
| The block to the north Of Worth street
has been cleared OF the old structures
which once numbered 1t. Every building
has been rnzed all the way eastward to
Eaxter street, with the exception of the
two story brick structure used at vari-
Gus times under the jurisdiction of the
Health Department for the benefit Of
tuberculosis patients and drug addicte.
1t is known as the old New York Dfs-
pcnsary.
The tract described, II is thought,
would afford ample space for post office
purposes, and would involve the demoli-
ton of no structure OF Importance.
Should the Federal Government erect on
this site creditable bcilding, that en-
terprise. together with the ultimate COM
pletion OF the great new County Courts
Building on the block directly south
thereof. would concert the area abutting
upon the old Five Points section of un-
savory memory into slightly i'm
pressive addition to the Manhattan civic
centre.
1t Is expected that there will be an
other meeting Of the citizens postal COM
mittee called by Postma ster-General
Hays for September II. to be held proba-
bly, in the waldorf-Astoria. Some def
mite proposal for a trade Of sites may
