Y sey City, and his ndme ought to be acclaimed o% & “second Danfe) come 9 jufgment,” New Jersey bas a stringent law making it a penitentiary oftense for An joucxicated person to operate an autgmobile. No_one will dispute ::e,meulty of such a law, and on the subject the Nashville Tennes- seean says: . “Driving a motor car is a task that needs all one’s wits and care if even accidents are to be avoided, and the possibilities of slaughter that ifo in & chaufteur who is drunk or even “fuddled” are immense. Brought before Judge Warren on the charge of intoxica- tion and hitting a wagon with his auto, Joseph Wilson, a iich busi. ness man of Jersey City, was sen- tenced to six months in the reniten- tiary. His counsel appealed to the court to substitute a fine for the prison sentence, but was met with a flat refusal. And here is where the upright judge established his claim ‘|to fame. Said he: Mrs. Herbert Drummond Menden- hall entertained” Mr. J. H. Orme and Mrs. J. Orme at 6 o'clock din- ner. Those who enjoyed Mr. and Mrs. Mendenhall’s hospitality were Mrs. G. D. Mendenhall, Mrs. J. Orme and Mrs. Balbin, of Tampa, who is visiting Mrs. Mendenhall, Mr. J. Henry Orme. Mrs. Hattie Brown has resigned her position as matron at Meridian College, and will make her home here again, much to the delight of her many friends. She purchased some time ago the Whipp place on South Florida avenue, a short dis- tance from town, and is moving there today. This 18 a very desir- able country home, in which she will be most pleasantly and comfortably located. !

I believe this man should receive the. limit , which is six months. The sentence stands.’ This is the sort of justice that will go far toward curbing the desire of motorists to show that others have no rights worthy of respect. The man who owns an auto is generally well able to pay a pretty stift fine, and chauffeurs of the rich when haled in court are usually taken care of by their employers. It [ term in prison or on the county roads was the inevitable fate of these gentry, no matter what their prominence socially or financially, there would be fewer Kkillings or maimings and the really useful and valuable auto would rise much in public esteem.—Miami Herald. JACKSONVILLE BROKER GOES TO SMASH Jacksonville, Aug. 26.—C. L Bagwell, stocks and bonds, Florida Life building, this city, closed theix doors Saturday at noon, and failed to open Monday morning, and no one could be found about the offices to say anything as to the cause of the failure to open for business that morning as usual. Various rumors are afloat on the streets as to the cause, and the concensus of opinion is that the company is in trouble, and-will not open again, Among the rumors are allegations of hypo- thecating bonds and stocks and ‘of “bucketing” trades for customers on both the local and the New York markets. The amount alleged to be due cus- tomers in this city and vicinity is some $75,000, of which $60,000 is on local stocks, and the rest on stocks in the New York market. Mr. C. L. Bagwell is desperately i1l in the North Carolina mountains. A wildcat recently whipped six dogs near Fort Myers and nine bul- lets were required to kill him.

Calendar of Socia] Events In Honor of Mr, Orme i Many pleasant gatherings have been planned in honor of Mr. J. H. Orme, who leaves soon for Califor. nia to make his home there. Those yet to be given are scheduled as follows: "W ylar Tuesday Night—Mrs. S. 'T. Fletcher's reception and musicale. Wednesday Afternoon, 4 to 6— Mrs. K. S. Madden and Mrs. H. J.

E. Gracy, and on Friday afternoon of last week the second triannual thank- offering meeting for the year 1913 was held at the home of Mrs. N. A, Riggins. Quite a number of the soclety and several friends were present to take part in and enjoy this ‘most excellent service, which opened at 3 o’clock, being conduect- ed by Mrs. R. C. Colbert. The program consisted of scrip- ture readings, prayers, music, vocal and instrumental, 'select readings, and so on, suited to the occasion. Music was rendered by Miss Marion Coleman and Miss Mary McKay, and a most beautiful recitation by Miss Coleman deserves special mention. These numbers were unusually good and much enjoyed by all present. All feel honored and delighted to have with them their pastor, Rev. J. D. Lewis, who added much to the in. terest of the meeting. An offering of $17.95 was taken with several out-of-town members to contribute later. We feel that these offerings can most truthfully be called free-wi]l thank offerings as & spirit of thankfulness seemed to prevail through the entire meet- ing and each omne’s offering came gladly and cheerfully. After the devotional part of the meeting a most enjoyable time was spent socially, dainty refreshments being served. All left feeling that a very prof- itable and enjoyable afternoon had been spent and looking forward with pleasure to the next meeting of like nature, which will be some- time near Thanksgiving Day. o o o Reading Circle Entertained By Mrs. McDonald Yesterday afternoon was the reg- ular time for the Foreign Reading Circle of the Methodist church, We were entertained at Mrs. McDon- "5 Tires Placed on Baby Cerrlages While Yon Wait W.

The reader for the afternoon was Mrs. Fleming and the lesson from “China’s New Day,” was in- deed interesting. The questions in the lesson by Miss Sara Polk made us wish that we had studied some before leaving home, for not many of them could be answered very promptly. The social hour was very enjoyable. Mrs. McDonald assisted by her daughter, Mrs. Trammel, of Tampa. served delicious refresh- ments, and all who have had the pleasure of being served with Mrs. McDonald’s lovely cake know what a treat was in store for those pres. ent. A pleasant surprise then was gilven us in a reading by Mrs. Fleming. She was at her best and we most thoroughly enjoyed her in | ‘Sallie Ann’s Experience,” and hope ' to have her with us again with such another pleasant surprise. Those who enjoyed Mrs. McDon- ald’s hospitality were Mmes. Sparl- ing, Sullivan, Norvel}, Quantance, Bennett, Fleming, Thomson, War- ing, Misses Derieux, Polk, Tomlin- son and Blankenship.
