Commodore Perry. the American
naval officer. whose visit to the

with modern civilization.
Since Perry's visit It has grown
steadily,
The city's prominence is very
largely due to the fact that It is the
principal point Of entry and de-

SCORES OF OTHER WINNERS.
Records Set Up During Past 10 Year
In Open Title. Meets.

To an amateur golfer, Chick Evans,
goes the unique distinction of regis
tering the lowest score ever made in
winning a national open champion
ship.
In 1915, playing over the Minikah-
da club course at Minneapolis, Mimi,
Evans played remarkable golf. cap
turing the championship with a score
of 2s6. 1t required marvellous golf
to win, as the always dangerous Jock
Hutchinson finished second with 2SS.
The year 1915 was big one In the
golfing career of Evans. Not only did
he win the national open with the
lowest score in the history of the
event but he also won the national
amateur, thereby taking the two big
titles in golf.
Evans Is a youngster in years but a
veteran in the golf1ng world He is
still one of the most feared men in
the game.

for Sakura only to have Billy Hodson

The field got away we'll in the third
heat only to have Lockspur again
break a. the first turn. Silvie Brooke
stayed inNfront by about three lengths
for the first half and widened the
gap until the turn into the stretch
was reached. Here Brusie started
what looked like a hopeless drive but
It landed him in front by inches, Sill

speed to stand off the brush of the
Windsor Locks reinsman. The time

made few years ago by Mile Irwin.

 THE AGE-HERALD Florence. Ala. Feb. 6

As the outcome of a heated dis cussion of methods used by the city commission in collecting delinquent street and sewer assessments Orland D. Hill, city attorney, rendered his resignation to the commission Wed nesday. Mir Hill took exception to the action of Commissioner B. B. Garner in employing Attorney c. E. Jordan to aid the city in the collec- tion of these assessments. MT. Gar ner was granted authority to handle the assessment collections in a reso- lution passed by the commission three weeks ago.
 On last Friday conference be- tween representatives and attorneys of Sidney Spitzer 6 Co. and J. C. Mayer X Co, large purchasers Of street and sewer improvement funds, members of the city commission and MT. Jordan was held for the purpose of discussing what action should be taken against property owners who had failed to make payments on as sessments due February 1. Mir. Hill was not invited to participate in this conference for offer of opinion in the matter. He stated in his letter of registration that he felt the act was one of discourtesy and asked to be relieved of his duties immediately.
 Commissioner D. H. Bacon intro duced resolution at the meeting Tuesday which provided for the re- scinding of the authority granted to Mir Garner to handle collections Of the assessments but when the later stated that passage of the resolution would be accompanied by his resig- nation, action was delayed.
