LAKELAND E PUBLISHED IN THE BEST TOWN IN THE BEST PART OF THE BEST STATE LAKELAND, FLORIDA, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 10, 1913.

There are about 175 preachers present and the lay delegates and women attending will make the number entertained about 250. The people of Tallahassee, not only of the Methodist denomination, but all alike, have shown their splendid hos- pitality by opening up their homes to the entertainment of these preachers and delegates. The opening sermon was preached last night by Rev. J. F. Bell of Bartow. After the sermon the sacra- ment of the Lord's ministered. This is the only time during the year that all the preach- ers have the opportunity of taking the holy communion together. |PHLLIANE OFFIEILS THREATEN 10 RESIGN (By Associated Press.)

A percentage of all the receipts of ves- supper will be ad-| sels in New York harbor will be con- tributed to the fund, as a memorial to the efforts which the late mayor exerted on behalf of harbor improve- ments. One suggestion concerning what form the memorial shall take is that it shall be a pavilion in Union Square to shelter audiences assem- bled there for the discussion of pub- lic topics. Such a pavilion would be open on all sides, but would have an effect of exceptional architectural beauty it is said.

Owing to the absence of Mr. Clif- ford, newly elected director, it was found necessary to hold another elec- tion to replace this gentleman, and with Mr. Turner in the chair, Mr. J. K. Futch was elected a director. Directors held meeting and elected following officers: R. A. Jackson, president; J. K. Futch, vice presi- dent; U. W. Iverson, secretary and treasurer. Meeting called to order by Presi- dent Jackson and the minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The principal business of the meet- ing being the disposition of the fer- tilizer question for the ensuing year, after a thorough discussion, it was decided to dispense with ready mixed fertilizers, and purchase chemicals, each man mixing his own formula, thereby securing better chemical mixtures and avoiding payment of freight on fillers as now used by fac- tories. The secretary was instructed to get prices on chemicals in quanti- ties and a committee, consisting of Dr. Conibear, Mr. Carter, Mr. Swearingen and U. W. Iversen, was appointed to figure out each mem ber's formula so that he can easily mix what he needs to his own use and land. It was decided that each member disinfect his seed the com- ing year with formaldehyde, the con- tract for same having been made by the secretary to cost the members 20 centg per pound, about one pound being required for each sack at the rate of one pound to thirty gallons of water, seed soaked for two hours, and then dried before cntting. The last and greatest question was the matter of affiliating with the Florida irowers and Shippers’ League, and after much discussion, motion was made and carried to af- filiate and change the name of the association to the following: Florida Growers and Shippers’ League Local No. 2, Lakeland Pota- to and Vegetable Union. Payment of seed potatoes was made by most of the members and it was decided that those not paying by next Saturday would lose their chance of getting seed as the demand for same at the price made is very large and sale will be made to those willing to pay so that money for pay- ment of car §s ready on arrival, which will be from Dec. 20 to 27.

A CADILLAC VERSUS A CHAUTAUQUA Charles Anderson is assistant States attorney of Florida and lives in Tallahassee, the capital, but was “born and brung up™ in De Funiak Springs. DeFuniak has had a Chau- tauqua Assembly for the last nine- teen years and when a Chautauqua was proposed for Tallahassee, Ander- son was very enthusiastic, accepted the presidency, and went around asking his friends to support the new movement. One day a country friend came into town and late in the day An- derson met him. “Say,” he cried ‘“can’t 1 interest you in the Crautau- qua?” “Well, T reckon you're a little late,”” answered the farmer. “A fel- low’s been demonstratin’ the Cadil- lac to me all day and I think I'd bet- ter buy a make 1T know somethin’ about.”—®&dmund Vance Cooke.

WHAT A CHAUTAUQUA DOES FOR A TOWN The great llnna about a Chautau- is not the program but the crowd. The Chautauqua is the one place in the year where all the town zathers and each looks into the oth- er's face, lere sit down thechurches, the lodges the political parties, and business rivals, Here they sit and relax and listen to common truths and a Kinder feeling comes and a better understanding and a areater civie pride. Wars come from isolation and ignorance. There can he no war in a Chautanqua town. Every year there is a new crop of boys and girls who must hear the basic principles of life. It may be old to the crowd but it is new to this crop. The impressions made now persist longest. The Chautauquans of today are shaping the thought and life of the men of tomorrow and shaping the destiny of the nation. The Chautauquas are among the first great examples we have in this country of popular co-operation and they exemplify co-operation for the best of purposes. They bring be- fore all the people music, oratory, and miscellaneous entertainment at prices within the slenderest means. The Chautauqua platform is immacu- lately clean; it is fairly humorous, and it is distinctly educational. It is infinitely better than city vaude- ville in every particular. Moreover it has served to acquaint the masses with advanced thought of the day more intimately than they could have learned it from books or maga- zines. Our Chautauquas are planned that we may have crowds in our town; for we want Chautauqua time to be a busy time. We want every- body to have a good time and go home happy; but we want the folks to TAKE SOMETHING HOME WITH THEM. Something that will start them thinking, for when you get the mass of people tihnking in the same direction you are going to see results. So THINK AND PLAN FOR THE CHAUTAUQUA OF 1914, A MIGHTY SENSIBLE MICH- IGAN COUNTY CLERK St. Joseph, Mich., Dec. 10.,— County Clerk W. T. Clarkworthy, appearing in cirenit court today, pleaded his own defense in the man- damus action brought by a negress to compel him to issue her a license to wed a white man. He cited a Michigan statute, placed on the books in 1846, declaring no white person shall marry a negro. Mr. ('larkworthy contends that the law is still in effect although popular im- pression holds there is no legal bar to the intermarriage of the races. The clerk ufrther contended that to issue a license for the union of & white man and a negress would be a violation of the public sense of de- cency. Judge Bridgman has takem the case under consideration. FAMOUS MISSISSIPPI SPORT DEAD Mobile, Ala., Dec. 10.—Charles W.
