nary poinsettia, also having more
leaves and being more luxuriant in
growth,

U. s. SENATOR TRAMMELL
OUT FOR REELECTION

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb. 21.-
United States Senator Park Tram
nell has announced that he will be a
candidate for reelection to the SEN
ate, in a statement issued recently
in Washington.
Senator Trammell was first mayor
of Lakeland, then representative to
the state legislature. He later served
in the state senate, and from that po-
sition was elevated to that of attor-
ney general of Florida. His election
to the governorship of the state was
followed by his election to the
United States senate, a remarkable
political career.
Trammell is forty-two years Of
age, and an attorney by profession.
During his political career he has
possessed the happy and rather
fortunate faculty of being able to
get the votes.
In his formal announcement Of
his candidacy, Senator Trammell re-
views his term in the senate, and
calls upon the people of the state to
return him to Washington.
Senator Trammell was among the
Democrats voting for national pro-
hibition, but voted against the en-
REIMBURSEMENT of women by an
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton. At the close of the suffrage
fight both factions claimed the vote
of the junior Florida senator, who
did not disclose his position until
the time Of the final vote.

 ON TRIAL TODAY
Two Boys Are Charged With Death of Aged Deputy
 Sheriff
By Associated Press

Chattanooga, April 16.-Ralph and George Baker, two young noun taineers charged with killing Special Deputy Sheriff J. W. Morton, aged ST., at Durham, Ga, last month, will be placed on trial before Judge Sea- born Wright at Lafayette tomorrow, and nearly the entire population of the little mining town will appear as witnesses.
 The killing was unusually brutal, according to witnesses, the aged of ficer having been shot down as he waited at the railroad station to aid an invalid daughter. The Baker boys had come into the town on the same train with Morton's daughter and when they spied the officer are said to have walked up to him and began shooting. They were captured by a citizen posse headed by D. W. Will Hams, manager of the mine commits sary, and both of them narrowly es- capped lynching, Williams, almost single handed, saving them from a mob, after a rope and chain had been placed around their necks.
 An unsual feature of the capture and attempted lynching was that a leader of the mob drew line on the ground and asked all in favor of hanging the Bakers to step across, when the whole crowd with the ex- ception of Williams and a few others did so. However, Williams prevailed on the mob to let the law take it's course.

Greenville April 16.-(special.)- Abner Little a white farmer of the western part of Butler couty who was charged with kil,i..g his wife some months ago was vindicated of the crime by the Butler county circuit court here this week.

CONCERNING DREAMS

Hereward Darlington, In Leslie's.
 It has been said that three great problems confronted the mind of primitive man: the difference be- tween living and lifeless matter; the fate of the individual human soul after death, and the nature of the figures that were most frequently seen in dreams.
 It may be said that, in certain sense, these three problems still re- main unsolved; for, although science has done much towards their solu- ton, the primary questions still re- main, in their broadest sense.
 When we. come to think of it, 1t Is very remarkable that most of us con sider our dreams so little. We spend approximately one-third of our lives in sleep. and 1t is almost certain that there Is no such thing as dreamless sleep! We all dream all the time only we do not remember our dreams. Therein lies the difference.
 But many dreams are remembered d and hopeless tumble many of them are, you will sayi Certainly, they appear to be so; but it is very uouDt1ul IT this IS the case, as usually understood. We now know that we remember only small fraction of any dream-what Is called the man ifest content" and that below this Is a vast mass of dream material never normally recalled. known as the 'latent content" If we could remember this, we should sec that most of our dreams are systematic, coherent. and frequently represent some wish or desire. All this has been shown by psychoanalysis and other methods.
 It may be pointed out that prac- tically every one of us has had, at one time or another, seven common dreams, which are said to have been dreamed at one time or another by nearly everybody in the world.
 They are:
 1. The falling dream.
 2. The flying dream.
 8. The dream of inadequate cloth ing.
 4. The dream of not being able to get away from some beast that Is pursuing.
 5. The dream of being drawn ire sistibly to some dangerous place.
 6. The dream that some darling wish has been gratified.
 '. The dream of being about to go on journey, and being unable to get your things into your trunks, etc.

est fluctuating 10 to 1s points. On the close the net results were de- clines of 5 to 13 points, May closing at 16.64c and October at 16.44c. In the spot department middling lost 12 points and closed at 16.50c, which compared with Il .sSc a pound as the closing price a year ago.
 The interest of the trade was csn- tered in new crop developments. and in this direction events so evenly balanced themselves in their effect on opinion that the motive power for price movements of consequence was lacking. Roughly speaking, both pri- vate and official reports from the western belt were unfavorable, while from the eastern belt they were un- favorable. Too much rain fell in Texas and Oklahoma, as well as in most sections of the more central states. Planting and preparations to plant were hindered, and in Texas considerable young cotton was dam aged by heavy rains, high winds and sandstorms, so that'at the end of the week much replanting appeared to be necessary. In the eastern belt planting appeared to be quite for ward in central and southern posi- tons of Georgia and in the earliest sections of the Carolinas, but more or less complaint of too much mois- ture came from northern Georgia and sections of other states.
 This coming week the new crop will be watched more closely than ever for the time Is now here when planting has been extended we'll up toward the northern boundaries of the cotton region. Anything that will tend to retard planting will have bullish effect on the market, while conditions that will stimulate plant Ing and the germination of seed al- ready in the ground will have a bear ish effect. More attention will prob ably be given to the matter of the acreage In the near future, since with planting going on generally, a better Idea of the area under cotton may be had.
 ton is now only little more than week off, and the liquidation of that month Is likely to increase the &C., tiYity of the market. First notice day for May here Is on April 25, al- though in the New York market it csomo on April 24. There is talk of considerable cotton to be rendered in both markets, but in some quarters 1t Is not thought that tenders will be very large. unless there is fur ther weakening In the spot basis in the interior of the south,

No Matter what the Weather

If you have any ambition to turn in low scores this season I earnestly urge upon you fixed schedule of practice which includes playing a cer- tain minimum of strokes with each club. Nothing pays bigger returns. Let us assume that you are ready for the first days scheduled practice. The weather happens to be miserably bad; 1t rains hard and you picture the course as the least desirable spot in the world on such day. It Is on just such an occasion that the ear nestness of a mans desire to make good golfer is tested. It makes a big difference In the outcome whether the weather keeps you at home, or you study it to minimize your sched- ule so that you can play, or prac- tice both. It is not particularly inn portant whether you play only two holes. or hit only two shots each with all your clubs. The tram scendently important thing Is that you follow your schedule to the best of your ability under the weather conditions.
 It may be that you have found the very Idea you were seeking in those few shots, and it is more probable that you have found nothing. but the big thing Is that you have be- gun to do a certain amount each day or week as the case may be.
 Never Mind the Weather
 A man must practice, rain or shine. good player must become accus- toned to all kinds of weather for the premier championships run a whole week, and all varieties of weather are likely to come ons's way during that time. Therefore. I advise the beginning golfer to try to keep his schedule up, or at least a piece of it, without overdue care as to the weather.
 In all large cities golf courses are very far out, and many a time l have disconsolately left the city In heavy downpour of rain but the further went the lighter and more cheerful became the outlook and by the time the club was reached all rain had ceased. Out then came my irons and hit them everyone according to my carefully studied plan.
 The victory is not to the easily discouraged. Therefore I caution you to keep up your courage under disheartening conditions. Improve ment cannot always be detected at once, and on some days one actually seems to go backward. It Is some thing. however, to discover that we are doing something wrong, for the chances are that when we recognize a mistake we can find the remedy for 1t.
 Practice Seriously
 The beginner, or the veteran, for that matter, must never forget that to get the most out of practice he should make every shot with the same seriousness and earnestness of purpose as though q Chamnion shi n depended upon the result. This may require an exercise of will power and determination, but 1t pays big re- turns. Practice done in this spirit is the greatest possible guarantee of ever increasing skill. And 1t is the thrill and the satisfaction of playing we'll that Is one of the great sources O. pleasure In golf. The player who really masters the game derives from 1t joys and satisfactions that the i'm different player never knows exist. One gets out of golf all that he puts into 1t.

r FAMOUS HOTEL OF
 TOKYO DESTROYED
Members of Prince of Wales Party Lose Personal Prop
 erty in Fire

TolxiO, April 16.--Fire today de-
 strOyed the older portion of the
 famous Imperial hotel and dam-
 aged the temporary annex to the
 hotel. One person is known to
 have been killed. Three hundred
 persons, mostly members of the
 staff of the Prince of Wales and
 visitors who cnme to TOIio from
 various parts of Japan in connec-
 tiOn with the visit of the prince,
 were rendered homeIess~ Their
 effects were partially destroyed.
 When fire broke out at 310 o'clock this afternoon, the Prince of Wales was just entering the Shinjuju gar dens, three miles from Tokio, accom- panied by the Regent, the Empress and some 5000 invited guests, for garden party. Consequently he knew nothing of the fire until his return to the city.
 The flames swept rapidly through the hotel, being under a strong wind, and the hotel was quickly enveloped. The annex also was considerably damaged. The new hotel. which Is un- der construction at cost of 1000, 900 yen, was endangered for awhile
 A number of Americans residing in the hotel lost their effects. Among them are Mir. Moeller, the contractor for the new hotel. whose home Is Chicago, and his wife, and J. c. Dem by a member of the American em- bassy.
 Some 20 or 30 members of the suite of the Prince of Wales and officers of the cruiser Renown were attend ing the imperial garden party with the prince during the fire and were heavy losers. Capt. P. Leigh lost presents he had received during the visit of the Prince of Wales to India and Japan. Some of the princes staff officers lost their entire kits.
 The newspaper representatives and photographers attached to the princess staff also. lost everything they had left behind in the hotel.
 The man killed was Greek named Milliaressy, who had been a resident of Tokio for 15 years. He tried to es- cape by way of the roof of the hotel and firemen placed ladder in an endeavor to rescue him. He fell, but managed to grasp rung, where flames enveloped him. Bremen played a stream of water on him, but he finally fell to the ground, where he was picked up dead.
 The loss to the buildings is esti- mated at 100000 yen.
