BANKERS ASSOCIATION HoNoRs
MR.. J. n. THERRELL

The Florida Bankers Association
composed of practically every ma
tlonal, state bank and trust COM
pany within the state is the first as
sociation of its kind in the United
States to merge the entire banking
fraternity into one cooperative asso-
ciatica for the purpose of pushing
ti1e development of every business and
natural resource found in Florida.
IN oTder that no source of wealth
and happiness be neglected or over
looked the association is divided into
departments or sections for admins
tratiFe service. Florida being pre-
eminently an agricultural section this
phase OF business and production
naturally is one of the more import
ant departments.
Hon. Henry C. Wallace. secretary
Of agriculture of the United States is
actively in cooperation with this en-
deavor on the part OF the Florida fl
nanciers and has requested the
Florida Bankers Association to assist
him in making a survey of the out
standing farmers of the state, show
ing the type of farming, the extent
of operations, interest in marketing,
production, community betterment and
living conditions" Marion being one
Of, if not, the leading agricultural
counties in the state it was but nat
ural that the Bankers designated one
of the bankers of this county to head
this important division. Mr. Therrell,
president of The Commercial Bank of
Ocala, who has travelled in every
county of the state and is possibly
as well acquainted with the types and
conditions of farming, fruit growing
and live stock raising as any man in
Florida has been selected to head the
Agricultural Section and has been
busy for some weeks collecting,
through the bankers of the several
counties, the data requested and has
forwarded the same to Washington.

SERIOUS AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
SUNDAY NIGHT

Sunday night at Montbrook there
occurred a most serions automobile
accident in which Mr. "A. G. Mckay,
very prominent young business man
of Levy county, sustained probably
fatal injuries.
Il seems that about II o'clock Sun
day night Mr.. Mckay with a party
of friends were riding in new Dodge
car along the splendid highway lead
ing through the pretty little town CT
Montbrook. going at a speed of about
10 miles an hour, when suddenly an
electric light bug few through the
open windshield, striking the driver
Of the car in the eye. The impact
was of course surprising as well as
painful to the driver and he released
the steering wheel with one hand
and Immediately lost control of the
car.
The accident occurred right at the
curve in the highway, and in an ef-

the emergency brake. This caused
the car to turn turtle, violently strik-
ing the corner of the depot, where it
stopped. Mr. Mckay, who was riding
on the rear seat of the car, was thrown
with great force against the depot,
and sustained a fracture at the base
of the brain.
The unfortunate young man was
brought to the hospital in this city
and every possible attention given
him, but since the accident he has re-
gained consciousness for only few
minutes at time.
Mr. Mckay, who resides at Morris
ton, is a brother of Mr.. Archie Nc
Kay and Mrs E. A. Osborne of this
city. and their many friends are great
ly grieved to learn OF the serious in
juries sustained by their brother.
A telephone message from the hos
pital late yesterday afternoon stated
that practically all hope for recovery
Of Mr.. Mckay had been abandoned.
Later
The victim of the unfortunate ac-
cident of Sunday passed away last
evening about eight O'Clock after
suffering intensely from his injuries.
The deceased is survived by a
wife and six children and number
of other relatives, to whom this paper
extends its heartfelt sympathy in their
hour OF affiiction.

note accompanying it he says:
Il quite agree with what the writer
says: Ninety-five per cent of the per-
sons coming to Florida in the winter
come for climate, and the sight of a
live alligator in the water or on a
log in streams is novelty that they
viii talk about when they go back

heir Interpretation of each of the
three suggestions.
we accept reluctantly, it is true

Welfare" said the message Of accept

Harding last night. IF the proposals

you desire, the responsibility of fail
ure will not rest upon representatives
Of tie organized employees
On the proposal to restore unim-
paired seniority rights to the strik-
ers. which was rejected by railway
executives at meeting yesterday in
New York, the message declared:
IT would certainly be a wholesale
injustice of unparalleled extent if
hundreds Of thousands of experienced
men who have given four to forty
years service and whose value to the
transportation industry is proportion
ed 10 the length of their service,
should be placed in position of in
feriority TO a limited number of men
who have been employed as substi-
tutes for these experienced railroad
workers"
Replying TO the presidents sugges-
ton that railroads and workmen agree
10 abide by decisions of the railroad
labor board, the reply said the shop
men had always taken the position
that so long as they continued to rend-
er service, they should abide by the
rules and working conditions and ac-
cept the wages agreed by proper nego.
tiations or determined by the labor

Sidney, N. S., Aug. AT sunset
on Friday on the crest of Benin
Breagh mountain, the body of DR..
Alexander Graham Bell who died this
morning at his summer home, will be
buried, in a spot chosen by the inven-
tor of the telephone himself.
The grave of the venerable scient-
ist, the immensity of whose life work
was attested by scores of kilograms
which came today to the Bell estate
from the worlds prominent figures,
is at a point overlooking the town of
Baddeck, Cape Breton The sweep
ing view of the mountain top so adj
mired by Mr.. Bell, stretches far over
the Brasdlor lakes. Sun set, chosen
as the moment when the body will be-
come forever part of the sturdy
hills, gilds the waters of the lakes
until they are really what their name
means-"The lakes of the arm of
gold"
OieS OF Aenenta
Davis S. Fairchild, the agricultural
explorer, one of Dr. Bells sons-in-law,
said that the famous inventor died at
2 o'clock this morning of aenemia.
Mrs. Fairchild, who was Marion Bell,
and Mrs. Bell were with DR.. Bell when
the end came. Dr. Bells other daugh-
ters, Mrs. Gilbert H. Grosvenor of
Washington, is with her husband in
Brazil
No funeral arrangements have been
announced but it is expected that DR..
Bells body will be brought to Wash

A message of coincidence was re-
ceived from President Harding to Mrs.
Bell. 1t said:
&The announcement of your eminent
husbands deathe comes as a great
shock to me. In common with all his
countrymen, / had learned TO revere
him as cne of the great benefactors
of the race and among the foremost
Americans of all generations. He
will be mourned and honored by hui
man kind everywhere as one who
served it greatly, untiringly and un-

WEEKLY BAND CONCERT TO-
NIGHT

The regular weekly band concert
will be given this evening at eight
o'clock on the court house square.
Another attractive program will be
offered
The band, although only organized
a short time, has demonstrated sew
eral things. Itahas proven first of all.
that open air band concerts are popu-
lar. The attendance has been good.
The fact that the band has already
been in demand for outside engage
ments for public celebrations has
shown that there is a need and a
place for a band that is available for
these purposes.
Public celebrations are made very
much more successful an interesting
when there is band music available.
The concerts given so far by the
band also demonstrate that the best
results cannot be obtained unless the
organization can be kept intact the
year around. A short season Of only
few weeks each summer means that
the band must be recognized each
summer and then be disbanded Just
as it is beginning to reach state OF
proficiency.

A FORT MYERS GIRL SPEAKS OUT
IN MEETING

Miss Gertrude Haller of Fort Myers
writes to the Tampa Tribune as fol-
lows:
Il read with interest the editorial
copied from the Jacksonville paper
July 81, and your splendid comment
upon the same concerning the Fort
Myers high school prophesy regard
ing the division of Florida.
Permit me to confidentially make a
correction. 1t wasn't a boy who wrote
that prophesy. 1t was girl, and l
am the guilty party.
Il did it for the sole purpose of en-
couraging the sentiment for state di-
vision. | want state division for the
good and sufficient reason that we
in South Florida are being deprived
of our rights. / am of the opinion that
our worthy governor is "stalling' in
his reapportionment stunt, and is aim
ing to make himself solid with South
Florida citizens for senatorial pur-
poses later on.
Just keep this before your eyes
and in your minds-that the women
voters gave the politicians the shock
of their lives in the recent Pennsyl-
vania and Indiana primaries, and we
are coming after the Florida bunch,
and when we do We will cut this ''shoe
string" state in two and put our state
capitol where we can look in upon our
lawmakers and state officials fre-
quently.
Dakota divided herself into North
and South Dakota, and Florida has
more reasons for division than Da-
kota ever had. Cut the string. We
have played the tail to the north and
