NEWSPAPER MILEAGE LAW MAY B REPEALED (By Claude F. Johnson.) Tallahassee, Fla., April 24,—An effort will be made to repeal the law prohibiting railroads issuing mil- eage to newspapers in return for ad- vertising. This has been attacked at every session, but all measures introduced to repeal the law has met defeat . Senator Zim, of St. Augustine, Thursday, introduced a bill to au- thorize rallroad companies to pub- lish their passenger train schedules in newspapers and to pay for same with transportation. What attitude the newspapers will take on the question this year is unknown, but the railroad representatives will fight the bill. When the question comes up for debate in the Senate, there will be the usual flow of oratory about al- lowing the rallroads to muzzle the press through thic method of ad- vertising exchange. On the other hand, the editor of the small town (weekly paper that does not now en- Sixty-| joy the rallroad advertising because the railroads must pay the cash for the space, would be in line to get at least a ticket now and then, and to perambulate over the great state of Florida In search of more things to boost .

The preaching was done by Rev. Wallace Wear of Lakeland, truly a conse- crated man of God. Kach sermon was impressive, tender and appeal- ing. He made the plan of salvation . 80 plain that the unsaved, even the children who were old enough to know themselves to be sinners, could understand, There was no undue ex- citement during the meeting, no high pressure methods resorted to get peo- ple to join the church. He was veéry careful with his propositions, and God was with him in every service. Many truths were driven home to the consclence of his hearers, but with such a sweet tender Christ-like spirit that none, not even the most sensitive, could take offense. Three times a day he spoke to the people of our town, faithfully trying to win the lost to Christ and unite the members more closely in the bonds of Christian fellowship and love. His co-laborer, Brother H. G@G. Langford of Arcadia, was used of God as a mighty instrument in help- ing to bring about the glorious re- sults of the meeting. He captured the pewe frpm the very start by his efficlent manner of leading the song service. His solos were very ef- tective and a great spiritual uplift. “The visible results of the meeting were 14 additions for baptism and 15 by letter, making a total In all of 19.
