well and those in charge Of the con-

ing boys under 10 years age will get
in touch with some OF the committee
and make IT possible for the boys in

of the surrounding sections as to
whether boys would be admitted who

large delegations from the outlying
districts will be here for the confer
ence. State Boys Work Secretary c.

DAVIDSON ELEVEN
ELECTS CAPTAIN
"Spratt" Moore Will Lead Wildcats
on Gridiron Next Year.
Especial to The JournaD

DAVIDSON, N. c., Jan. 21.-J. s.
(Spratt) Moore Of Rock Hill. S. c.,
member OF the sophomore class, was
elected captain OF the Davidson foot
bali team for the 1922 season at a re-
cent banquet OF football letter men.
Moore has been one of the outstanding
stars Of the Davidson team for the last
two seasons and his election is ex-
pected to be a popular one on the
campus.
Moore began his career at McCallie
School, Chattanooga, Tenn, in 1917.
Although handicapped by his lack Of
weight he proved to be the sensation
of the season in Tennessee prep school
circles. The following year the S. A.
Z. C. took Moore to the university of
South Carolina where he made his
first collegiate letter while tipping the
scales just above the century mark.
For 1919 season the Citadel claimed
him, and playing with the Bulldogs he
won All-State honors for the first
time. That year he was the main fac

lima. The fall of 1921 brought Moore
TO Davidson to work for berth with

terians. Barred from many games by
the one year rule of the S. I. A. A. he
nevertheless won a Wildcat letter and
returned in 1921 to turn the trick
again. During the past season his
stellar playing was a feature of every
game, winning for him All hon.

BARTON DEFEATS
OLD HIGH GIRLS
Local cagesters Went Down in De-
feat Before More Experienced
Rivals from Mobile.

Fighting an uphill game from the
time the referee blew his whistle to
start the play, the girls Of cole Hi'
went down in defeat before the on
slaught Of their more experienced
rivals from Barton academy yesterday.
Outclassed in every department of
the game. the girls gIoriously upheld
the traditions OF the school by fighting
until the final whistle blew and in the
closing minutes started a rally that
netted them seven points. The entire
team fought hard all the time and to
pick an outstanding start would be
hard to do but the work Of Mary
wentworth, Clifford Clark and Edna
Wolfe was excellent
The new rules under which the game
had to be played was a disadvantage
to the locals and an advantage TO the
visitors, who have been used 70 play
Ing under the rules, but then the court
was In favor Of the locals and this
made the odds about even.
Barton displayed fine pass work and

To the Tax Payers
Of Pensacola


consideration of what follows:
WE CHARGE that Commission Gov
eminent, during a period of over eight
years, has been weighed in the balance
and found wanting; has been tried in the
public forum and found GUILTY of the
crime of failure to administer our Mu-
nicipal Business with judgment and
economy.
In spite of the fact that the total Tax
Assessment during the past eight years
has increased nearly million dollars,
the millage, instead of being reduced in
proportion as the assessment rolls have
increased, has increased on an average
of one mill each year, or, from thirteen
Q3) mills in 1913 to tWenty-one (21) mills
in 1921. The bonded and floating debt
has increased in the same period some
thing like $335,000.
This debt has been increased by the
very simple fact that the City has spent
the public money very greatly in excess
of its revenues. To meet this growing
deficit money has been borrowed from
year to year, these loans growing sue
cessively with each year, the City pledg-
ing unpaid tax certificates as collateral.
The volume of these unpaid taxes is grow
ing larger and larger each year, because
taxpayers are increasingly reluctant or
unable or unwilling to pay their City
taxes. The value of these Tax Certif-
Gates is bound to decrease as their num-
Der and amount increase, and at this rate
of decrease in their value, banks or other
money lenders will regard them as doubt
full collateral And when that happens,
what will the City borrow on?
If the City gets to the point where it
cannot pay its way it will sooner or later
default on its bonds And when that
happens, each one of you property own
ers will hear from the bondholders to
whom the taxable value of your property
is irrevocably pledged to meet principal
and interest of the bonds.
We further charge that this Com
mission Government is not democratic
is not representative the wishes of
the people are fouted, defied, ignored.
Let us give you few instances:
% In 1915 you wanted an audit
asked for it. Did you get it? Yes, but
only by direction and command of Gov
ernor Trammel.
(2) You wanted one in 1920. Did
you get it? Yes, by command of Gov
ernor Cats. . s..,age,
60 We're you consulted, or per-
mitted to express yourselves, as provided
in the Charter when the Commissioners
quietly obtained authority of the Florida
Legislature to borrow $125,000?
az It seems now a long time ago,
that you wanted the Commissioners to
call an election to get the peoples ex-
preston as to whether we should revert
to the Aldermanic form of government.
Did the Commissioners issue that call? After
lapse of thrtytWo months they called it. not than
till they got mandate command from the Supreme
Court.
WE CHARGE that instead of the Government be-
ing representative and democratic that it is AN OIL,
GARCHY, A RING, so tight and thoroughly organized
that you have become tired and Indifferent to further
attempts to break it up
THE ELECTION that it called for the last dav of
this month is to be one 1--WE hope the last) su-
preme effort to break it up.

Care should be exercised by the
operator when adjusting a crystal de-
tectOr to see that his fingers do not
touch the surface of the crystal or the
contact point of the little spring. The
on secretion that exists in the skin
together with the dust that it collects
will render a crystal detectOr inopera-
tive by the insulating film that it will
cause to form on the portion of the
crystal surface that is touched. Should
The surface of the crystal get dirty
as evidenced by the received signals
becoming weaker and weaker, try
cleaning the crystal with alcohol and
little brush. Or if this does not seem
to remedy the trouble, chip off old sur
face so that an entirely new surface
is presented to the spring.

# Properly Done It Really Protects
the Property From
Lightning.

Generally speaking, aerials do not
attract lightning, but they do store up
atmospherlcal electricity, and, Of
course, this condition does create a
hazard. However, when the aerial is
properly grounded it then acts as a
lightning rod and really protects the
property from this electrical hazard.
Briefly. the fire underwriters require
that the aerial be grounded when not
in use by copper wire no smaller
than b. S. Gauge No. A or larger, and
run said wire as directly as possible
to the outside ground.
This means that water, gas or steam
pipes inside the property cannot be
used for lightning ground, because
If ever this ground was called into
service there is a possibility that fire
and loss of life may result. SO do not
use inside grounds for lightning pro

But He Was WronuI

There is good story told of the
Aga Khan, the great Mohammedan 20
tentate. He has fine taste in cham
payne, and an EDglishman, who was
dining at the same house in Paris,
asked him how he as an orthodox Mo-
hammedan, could touch alcohol in de.
fance Of the Koran.
"Oh," said the Aga Khan, that is
simple, l am holy man, and when
alcohol touches my lips it becomes
water"
Some time later the prince was din
ing with the same Englishman, and
the butler poured him out a glass Of
water, when he looked obviously at it..
81 thought that if champagne, when
it touches your lips, becomes water"
his host remarked, surely water
would become champagne"
