MAY EMPLOY A COUNTY
Demonstration AGENT
city Manager Lays Down the Law
{" Commissioners About Keep
ing the Jail Clean

Ihe county commissioners met in
Irregular monthly session, Monday, 5th
inst, and, after auditing bills due
and ordering them paid, adjourned
ItLl 10 O'Clock WeGnes day morning.
On 'e-assembling, all the members of
the board were present.
The clerk read several communi-
cations, one of which was from the
State Commissioner of Agriculture
asking that the board recommend to
him some competent person for ap-
pointment to take the agricultural
census of the county. Just before
the close of the session, the board ap-
pointed committee to make inquiry
and recommend some one for ap-
pointment,
On motion, one-year time warrants
on the Charlotte Harbor road a.
bridge district amounting to a little
over 81, 100000 were ordered paid.
Mesdames Habersham King and p.
Z. Goldie appeared before the board
and urged that an appropriation be
made for the employment of a coun-
ty agent, which proposition Mrs.
King supported with a very strong
and convincing argument. The lad
les asked an appropriation of $75O.-
90 to supplement like appropriation
by the state. There followed "A brief
discussion which brought out the fact
that there is now some 100000 in
the county treasury to be used for
the purposes presented by Mesdames
King and Goldie, and that it had not
been used because proposition
made last year sought to place this
county in sort of partnership with
another county in the employment of
a demonstration agent The view at
that time was that Charlotte county
did not want part, but all of the time
of such an agent. The matter was
deferred to the next meeting of the
board, when it is very likely to be
settled favorably, if it is not demand
ed that this county go into partner
ship with some other county
Followed then long discussion
between City Manager Price and
members of the board regarding the
use by the county of the town Jail
Mr.. Price contended that county pris-
oners had got the Jail in wretched
condition.; that the county commits
sioners, several months ago, had
promised to make certain necessary
repairs and put the Jail in somewhat
of a decent condition, which promise
had not been kept, and he now laid
down the ultmatum that if the COM
missioners did not Immediately do
towards remedying the
vile conditions existing. the city
would close the Jail against the ad-
mission OF county prisoners. The
discussion brought out the fact that
the board had been paying s25.00
month for janitor to keep the Jail
in a cleanly condition, which had not
been done. Finally motion was
adopted and Commissioners Hobson
and Whitten were appointed COM
mittee to go in company with the
sheriff and the city manager to the
jail, inspect it. have it cleaned at
once. decide what the county board
should do, agree with the city mana
ger. put the agreement in writing
and report at the meeting of the
board, which was held yesterday
Thereupon, the board a6-

which is to be built by the Gulf Re-
fining Company under a contract en-
tered into with the city, is being plac-
ed on the ground. large quantity
of lumber having been unloaded and
hauled to the head Of Sullivan street,
and there are several cars of piling
at the depot ready to be unloaded.
The piling are large and suggestive
of the type of pier that will be built,
A Fort Myers contractor, whose
name is not available, has the con-
tract to build the dock, and when he
was in Punta Gorda few days ago
he said that he would start work
just as soon as he got a sufficient
amount of material on the ground,
SO it is presumed that the work will
start within the next week or two.
BY the arrangement with the Gulf
company the city will get substan-
tial dock 1900 feet in length at no
cost to the city for building and the
Gulf company contracts to maintain
it for twenty years, after which time
it will become the city's property
With the exception of those who wish
to engage in business thereon, the

about 2:30 p. m. r. X. Seward was
coming in his touring car into Taylor
street, when a Ford truck driven by
Harold Wilhelm, boy, turned into
the short street out of which Seward

against the curb and stopped, but the
boy kept right on and struck the
Seward car amidships, so to speak.
AS the truck was moving slowly, but
triflng damage was done to either
vehicle; but the jolt of the impact
upset the nerves of the boys sister.
Miss Ivy Wilhelm, who was riding
witch him, and it was some time be-
fore her composure was restored.
Meantime, considerable crowd
gathered at the scene, and expert
garage men gave every necessary aid
to the sufferers.

PAUL HENDERSON DEVOTING
ENERGIES IN BUILDING UP
LAKELAND COUNTRY CLUB

At recent meeting of the board of
directors of the Lakeland Country
Club the decision was reached to inn
medately push the membership of the
club in order to provide necessary
funds for the completion of the pro-
ject of giving to Lakeland something
that every city in Florida is striving
for, worthwhile golf course and
club house. At the present time the
membership is close to one hundred
and fifty but it will require at least
two hundred members to place the
club in a position where it can be of
real service. To that end Paul Hen
derson has volunteered his services
and has already started ouS on cam
paign of solicitation both for stock
memberships and for player member
ships. The shares are 500 each, the
dues of these members being $25 a
year. There is another class of men,
bership as above stated, the players
who have the privilege of the grounds
and club house on a quarterly basis
of SO or $36 a year. While the long
period of dry weather has been very
trying on the green's and fairways, the
pro" Charles Howe, has been able to
keep things going and now, with the
coming of the summer rains, the links
will steadily improve until by next
season they will be in splendid conQi-
ton. Mr.. Henderson says he will

and enthusiasm in this Lakeland pro-
ject and tina; it ought to be possible
to start work on the second nine holes
later on during the summer. He is
going TO see every business man and
woman, every professional man and
woman and all other citizens who
should be interested in promoting
something that is sure to prove

RAILROAD STRIKE SITUATION
 AWAITS ACTION OF OWNERS

CHICAGO, Aug. 3-The chiefs of the striking railroad workers voted late yesterday afternoon to accept the Harding proposals for the set tlement of the strike and the country is now awaiting the next move of the railroad executives, who are ;n session at New York, and have ac- cepted all of the proposals except that relating to seniority rights.
 The action of the union heads was the only outstanding feature of the strike situation yesterday and there have been no new de- velopments today. It is expected that President Harding will take some action late today or tomor- row, but the public has not been advised what the next step will be.
