REPUBLICANS WILL CONTROL BOTH HOUSE AND SENATE FOR ANOTHER TWO YEARS.

Net Gain of Twenty Votes In The House.
CHAMP CLARK GOES
SAME VOTE THAT SWEPT HARDING INTO OFFICE TAKES BOTH HOUSES.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4 -
Republicans control for another two years with an increased house majority and a prospective increase in the senate was a major part of the election sweep. A net gain of 20 votes in the house was shown with complete returns from 17 states, but with most of the Democratic strongholds reporting. Eight of the fifteen Republican senatorial candidates had come in winners today, the seven others had substantial leads, while in ten other states all of the Republican entrants were reported in the van.
For the 19 Democratic senate seats, nine of the minority party had been returned winners – all from Southern states – while in the border and Western states the others were fighting an uphill battle. The general Republican landslide would seat several more Republican senators was predicted confidently by Republican campaign managers, whose claims included a majority of 8 to 10 in the next senate.
Both the Republican and senatorial tickets, presidential tickets were reported early today as ahead in California, Nevada, Missouri, Colorado, South Dakota, Idaho, Ohio and Washington. In Ohio, former Governor Frank B. Willis, who nominated Senator Harding at the Chicago convention, was reported in the lead of the Democrat; Senator Underwood of Alabama, minority leader, was re-elected and Representative Heflin chosen to succeed the late Senator Bankhead. A new face in the senate on the Democratic side will be Representative Caraway, of Arkansas, who defeated Senator Kirby in the primaries and was elected Tuesday.
Among the Republican leaders re-elected was Senator Brandegee, Wadsworth, Dillingham and Penrose. In the house, most of the veterans, both Republicans and Democrats, were re-elected, including Speaker Gillett, now holding the record for continuous service, and elected for his fifteenth term. Former Speaker Cannon who has served 22 terms, but not continuously, also was elected as was Representative Mann of Illinois, former Republican leader, Chairman Good, of the appropriation committee, and other prominent committee chairmen.
Comparatively few changes in committee chairmanships are expected to result in either the senate or house but increase of Republican memberships and decrease of the Democratic usually follows a marked change in political lineup. Taxation, tariff and other fiscal measures will be main issues in charge of Senator Penrose, chairman of the senate finance committee, and Rep. Fordney, chairman of the house ways and means committee, both of whom were re-elected. Senator Wadsworth of New York, is expected to continue as chairman of the senate military committee and under the seniority rule, Rep. Kahn, of California, also returned would continue in like capacity for the house committee. Most of the important senate committee chairmanships remain in the hands of senators not involved by Tuesday’s election.
By defeat of Senator Gronna of North Dakota in the primaries Senator Norris of Nebraska is next in line to head the agricultural committee. Senator Cummins of Iowa probably will continue as chairman of the interstate commerce committee. Among prospective changes in house committee is probably promotion of Rep. McFadden, Pennsylvania banker, who clashed with John Skelton Williams, comptroller of currency, to the chairmanship of the house banking committee, succeeding Rept. Platt, of New York, retiring.

WILSON MAKES NO COMMENT ON RESULTS.
And Sends No Felicitations to Senator Harding

(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 –

President Wilson had no comment to make on the results of Tuesday’s election, nor did he send any message of congratulation to President-elect Harding.
Having received only the preliminary returns before retiring Tuesday night, the preside arose early the next morning and after breakfast scanned figures of the Republican victory ah contained in the morning newspapers. Later he spent some time in the south portico of the white house, and conferred with Secretary Tumulty.
Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson, the president’s personal physician, made a special visit to him at noon and stated subsequently that the president’s health apparently had been unaffected by the result of the election. He said the president had had a most restful night and that he was in “good condition.”
During the afternoon the president and Mrs. Wilson took their daily automobile ride. Mr. Wilson received no callers during the day and the only visitors at the white house executive offices were Henry Morgenthau, former ambassador to Turkey, and Norman E. Hapgood, former minister to Denmark.

Labor Secretary Quotes Old Axiom

Bainbridge Colby, secretary of state, was the only member of the cabinet to make any formal comment on the outcome of the election, but Secretary Wilson of the labor department sent a message to Governor Cox in which he declared that ‘a truth crushed to earth shall rise again.”
Mr. Colby said he was “disappointed and depressed” but that he could not feel a confidence in that in some way by some avenue not at the moment disclosed, this country will act up to the highest concept of duty.”
Official and diplomatic Washington, impressed by the proportions of Republican victory in what leaders on both sides in the presidential fight had declared to be a “solemn referendum” on the league of nations, already have begun to speculate as to the president’s probable course with regard to the treaty of Versailles, which has reposed in the white house since the senate refused to ratify it for a second time last February.

LIMITATION COAL EXPORT TO BE MADE

SECRETARY OF COMMERCE SAYS HOME SUPPLY TO BE PROTECTED.
(By The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 –

Secretary of Commerce Alexander advocating limitations on export of coal to insure adequate supply for home industries and in direct trade to countries that are neutral markets for American coal and to those whence American ships sail in ballast. He said the export coal comes almost entirely from the Appalachian field which supplies the most highly developed industrial districts and too extensive export the development would likely result in a high price domestically.
He said the advantage “would inevitably come a clash of interests that would at least strain the friendly relations.” He said the British motto was “Fair trade and equal opportunity.”

GETTING READY FOR CONFEDERATE VETERANS.

ORLANDO, Nov. 3 –

The first step toward making the City Beautiful still more beautiful for the Confederate Veterans’ Reunion were taken yesterday morning when George W. Stewart, the well known decorator of Jacksonville, arrived with huge trunks of banners, flags, emblems and other striking decorations for the occasion.
Mr. Stewart was employed by the Board of Trade to stretch these decorations over Orange avenue from the Board of Trade building to Jackson street. This is not his first work in Orlando, he having decorated the city for previous celebrations and for the past three years he has supervised the decorations for the Mid-Winter Sub-Tropical Fair, which is a great annual event in the enterprising life of Orlando.
The business houses along Orange avenue are preparing individually the banners for their establishments, while private dwellings, hotels and other buildings will be dressed in strict keeping with the street decorations.
Miss Agnes Person, president of the U. D. C.’s stated this morning that a pleasing sidelight of the Confederate Veterans’ reunion, to be held here on November 10, 11 and 12, was the provision by the Children of the Confederacy for the entertainment of veterans from the Old Soldiers’ Home in Jacksonville.
The children have raised and still are raising by social entertainment the money to defray this expense. Miss Person received a letter from the superintendent of the Soldiers’ Home that about a dozen of the veterans there would accept the invitation.
At the request of the U. D. C.’s and the officials of the Board of Trade, Governor-Elect Hardee was today invited to attend the Confederate Veterans’ reunion in Orlando next week. In this letter of invitation, forwarded to Mr. Hardee by Jack Hughes, Mrs. Hardee was also invited on behalf of the U. D. C.’s, who had requested Mr. Hughes to embody this invitation in the communication.
It is not known whether Mr. and Mrs. Hardee will be able to accept.

RIOTING NEAR ORLANDO RESULTS IN DEATH OF TWO WHITES MANY NEGROES

(continued from page one)
Ocoee section. Saulsbury was wounded in the left arm and Turner in the back but they are expected to recover. The details of the actual shooting and just how many participated in it are lacking but it’s said that the negro Carey, who started the argument was drunk and very boisterous and insulting in his manner at the polls.
As we go to press it is learned that armed white men are patrolling the Ocoee section and that while the situation seems well in hand that the killing of the two young white men has enraged the relatives and friends to such a degree that more bloodshed is apt to happen at any time although it is though the negroes responsible were killed in the battle waged at he polls.

--
The following is from the Orlando Sentinel:

At least two white men dead, two white men wounded but not seriously, an unknown number of negroes killed or wounded, and several under arrest, were stirring, bloody events which threw Orange county into the throes of excitement last night when it was learned that a race fight had been staged at Ocoee, a town of 300, located twelve miles west of Orlando, the bloodshed being the result of the election, and the outgrowth of a negro carrying a shot gun to the polls after he had been refused to vote because of non-payment of poll tax.
The known dead are Leo Borgard, of Winter Garden, a former service man of the world war, aged 25 years, and a son of W. C. Borgard, of Winter Garden; Elmer McDaniels, of Ocoee, age 25. Sam Salisbury, a former captain in the army, a native of Brooklyn, and a former chief of police in Orlando, was wounded in the left arm and John Hanner, an Orlando contractor, was wounded in the arm but not seriously. The negroes in Ocoee have been dispersed and sent to the woods where they are in no danger for the present. One negro wounded was captured and brought to the Orlando hospital where an effort will be made to save his life in order to gain inside facts. The two white men who were slain were discovered only after a search, both lying dead in the back yard of the wounded negro’s home, the one brought to Orlando. The wounded black, Joe Parrish, has not given any information.

4:45 Bulletin from West Orange. –
At 4:45 this morning a telephone communication from winter garden said the blaze was growing in volume and that more negro houses were being burned. The Winter Garden operator stated that the blaze was so large it appear to be churches or school houses in Ocoee, as both were close together. He said all was quiet at Oakland and Winter Garden

The Republicans claim a majority of eight or ten in the next senate.

--
DAYTON, Nov. 3 – Governor Cox said he would send congratulatory message to Harding. He proved a good loser by consoling disconsolate friends. He is planning a hunting trip to Mississippi.

--
NASHVILLE, Nov. 3 – Returns from sixty counties of the 95 in the state gave Harding a lead of two hundred and sixty-eight.

--
NEW YORK, Nov. 3 – With the state giving Harding an unheard of plurality of about one million votes, interest centered on the governorship with Smith, Democrat, leading by 18,000 at noon.

HARDING SEEKS REST
Will Come To Sanford After Election Is Over.

MARION, Ohio, Nov. 2 – Vacation plans are in formulation for Mr. and Mrs. Harding but details have not been announced. A seclused place probably will be selected so that should Mr. Harding be victorious he could escape much of the annoyance which comes to a president-elect.
Many of his admirers, confident of a Republican victory, already have given him the attentions of a potential president and in inevitable procession of office seekers has begun. Request for appointment to positions ranging from cabinet members down have reached Harding headquarters in quantity and there has been a rush for postmasterships by many who are not aware that recent legislation has put these positions under the civil service. One of these who offered to serve as secretary of state wrote the senator that although he was young and inexperienced he had honest purposes and high aims and was willing to take advice. His name never had been heard before by the candidate.
Precinct C of the Fourth ward of Marion was the senator’s voting place today. It returned a Democratic majority at the last election but the local Republican managers predicted that it would go for Harding by a big margin today.

Six Kinds Of Safety

Have you every paused to consider the safety of the bank where you deposit your money?

The first consideration is the capital, which should be ample to meet the requirements of the community the bank is to serve.
The next question to consider is the officers in charge. They should be men of experience, high character and successful. Without man of ability no institution can succeed.
Then there is the question of confidence. The public should have confidence in the officers and in the bank.

These three principles determine the success of a bank.
We adopted these principles in the outset of our career and we expect to live up to this high standard and increase our usefulness to the community as the years go by.


We Offer You:

1st: Large capital and working reserve.

2nd: Trained men in charge – Men of several years experience.

3rd: The confidence of the public, which is proven by the daily addition to our line of depositors.

4th: Protection by two examinations each year by the state banking department. Two audits each year by an independent recognized public audit company and two sworn statements submitted to the state comptroller by the cashier, giving the bank’s condition in detail. All of which insures regular, systematic and thorough operation of the bank.

5th: The advice of a competent board of directors, who meet who meet with the officers regularly each month and advise them as to the operation of the bank.

6th: Insurance of all deposits every day of the year. This is a protection not commonly found in banks and is an absolute protection for your funds, in addition to all the other usual safeguards.

These are reasons why you should do business with us, and we believe that no bank can offer better inducements.

PEOPLES BANK OF SANFORD. We want your business.

They are still voting for Harding in New York.

--
He must have had something on the ball that we knew nothing about.
--
He may be a southpaw with every ball – one of those birds like we had in the Sanford – Orlando world’s “serious” one time.
--
But at any rate, Harding old fellow, you are from Ohio and a newspaper guy and you must be all right in spots, at least your office force believes in you and the office force usually sizes up the main guy all right.
--
And then why should Sanford worry about a little thing like a general election. Our county went Democratic and we couldn’t take in any more territory without bustling a gallus or two. And come to think of it we are too busy with home affairs to take up any more time with politics.
--
Just in passing, though, President Harding elect, we would like to know and we will always be curious about knowing just what you intend to do about the league of nations and especially Germany. We occupy the place of victors in a world war and yet we are paying the price of the war while Germany is getting off scot free. All of which brings to mind the thought that we will be a long time making up our mind to enter another war.
--
Elections are enervating and keep a man from his regular work in the community somewhat but the people of Sanford will get down in real business again and the new Chamber of Commerce will start to function in a few weeks and we will make things aura. Regardless of the election or any feelings that might have been engendered over it the people will get together on the great issues of building a bigger city here and putting over the things needful.
--
Every report coming in says that thousands are coming to Florida from the north and that we must be ready to give the accommodations. If the crowds on the streets are any barometer this city is filling up fast right now and something should be done to provide more houses and more hotels and apartment houses for the visitors. They want to come to Sanford and will come here if we will only give them a place to stay after they get here.
--
Now that the election is over and money loosens up some there should be more money to loan for the purpose of building. There should never be any stringency in the money market for building houses in a city that needs them as badly as Sanford. But with the bugbear of election out of the way and the money powers of the world successful in putting over their candidate everything should take on a different phase and the people who expect to do big things here can get all the money they want to start operations. And then this city will really start to growing as it should. And then – let us tear down all the old shacks that decorate our streets and build new buildings or else sell to some one who will build. We can never have a real city until this is done.

One of the finest and most substantial structures that I ever saw was a financial structure built by faithful efforts involving a great deal of persistence and perseverance. It is a structure which the possessor can look upon with pride and admiration.

WANTED: AN ADVERTISING LAW.

It is probably that one of the measures which will be proposed at the next session of Congress will be the enactment of a law against fraudulent advertising, aimed at the promoters of wildcat stock companies.
It is said by bankers, and agreed to by the government representatives, that the public has been robbed of millions upon millions of dollars of savings during the past two years through the sale of worthless stocks.
The government attempted to do what it could soon after the close of the war, without much avail. The Capital Issues Committee, which protected the public from worthless stocks during the war, disbanded and its services were no longer available, the post office could not police the country effectively with the force and means at its disposal, and so the work was finally turned over to the Federal Trade Commission.
The investors protective bureau of Chicago Association of Commerce reports that thre are at least a billion dollars worth of wildcat securities being offered to the public at the present time. One hundred twenty million dollars worth of fraudulent stocks have been driven out of the State of Illinois alone this year, and public confidence in securities, formerly at a very low ebb, has been great restored.
It is found, however, that the blue sky laws of various States are not in themselves sufficient to cover the situation. There is a need, it appears for a national law which will compel the promoter of securities to prove the statements in his copy before his advertising is given to the public.
The trouble with most of the laws aimed at fake stock promoters is that they do not operate until the swindler has fleeced a number of victims. The thing that is needed is a law that will lock the door before the horse is stolen, and there is good reason, and there is good reason, to believe that a national advertising law will fit the situation. – Dearbord Independent.

DRAINAGE DISTRICT LANDOWNERS HOLD ANNUAL MEETING.

At the annual meeting of the land owners of the Upper St. Johns Drainage District held at the courthouse, on Tuesday the 28th, of October, Frank L. Bills was re-elected a member of the board of supervisors.
The supervisors are Frank L. Bills, chairwoman; A. A. Barlow of Cocoa and S. C. Chase of Sanford and E. H. Every secretary.
The Times is informed that the high cost of labor, machinery and fuel as well as the condition of the bond market may preclude going ahead with the big district at this time. From what we hear the plan will be existing conditions and that can be to cut the big district into small districts that can be consummated under handled in much less time and at beyond doubt, a great deal less expense.
The engineering work has been completed and it is safe to say that the engineering plans and specifically prepared under the supervision of Isham Randolph & Co., of Chicago and Jacksonville are the most complete and comprehensive of any ever completed on a large tract of land in Florida and will be of great value in carrying out the project of small districts.
Upon the completion of the Engineer’s plans it was shown that approximately 75 per cent of the water to be carried off through the canals and laterals of the big district originated on the west side of the St. Johns river. With a fall of 16 to 19 feet from the rich marsh prairie and pine – wood lands situated between the East side of the St. Johns and Indian river, Ocean level, it is apparent to evry land owner on the East side that small districts will solve the problem for their holders.
It has been demonstrated, during the past few months that small districts can be handled through Construction Companies and Bond houses.
Another great advantage in the small district plan is the fact that with small units the work can be completed and ready for cultivation in much less time than the big district for the whole system of the big district would have to be completed before any of the land system would be ready to farm. – Melbourne Times.

UPSALA AND GRAPEVILLE

The school children rejoiced in the half-holiday Nov. 2nd, but not many of the mothers here took advantage of it to vote.
Mrs. Jack Vaughn is rejoicing in the possession of a nice large heater for her room and also in the fact that her brother, Mr. Mansfield and son of Tampa have recently reroofed her kitchen and dining room making her cozy for the winter.

Where are our brick roads or electric lights and water, fire and police protection, cheap telephone service, nearness to churches and market. None of these are ours but free schools should be.
For some reason our article on the big day for Upsala, Nov. 7th, did not come out as we hoped it would in the Weekly Herald so that every one might know in plenty of time.
It is planned to have an all day service at the church. Rev. Albertson and wife will be with us from DeLand bringing with them Dr. Conway who will preach for us in the morning services beginning at 11 o’clock.
Mrs. Albertson will recite for us and Rev. Albertson is a great song leader.

Rev. Edwards, of Jacksonville, will preach for us in the afternoon.

Well they went and sprung it on us that time and believe me it was a genuine surprise alright.
Over thirty walked in on us last Saturday night and we were so bewildered for some time they had to tell us, it was to remind us of our 25th, wedding anniversary, tho they did not know of it just on time.
Beside a good many from Upsala and Grapeville we were all pleased to have with us Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Robbins of Sanford.
Our little home was pretty full but there was plenty of room outside, as we said where the young folks had a great time, we believe best ever, being served with coffee to the guests.
We shall treasure indeed, the many beautiful gifts of silverware and other presents offered but most of all we appreciate the kind neighborly feeling shown in the gathering thus together in honor of the day that meant so much to us.
It was on the 16th day of October 1895, at S. Johns, Mich., that the wedding occurred and on Nov. 1st., we started for Sanford, Fla., where we have since lived, Mr. B. making one trip back home for a family reunion and Mrs. B. spending last summer with her brother who had removed to Missouri.
Perhaps it will not be out of place to give here a motto we early chose in our married life and to command is to the young as one that will bring true happiness and peace. “Each for the other and both for Christ.”

A LETTER OF GENERAL PUBLIC INTEREST AND THE REPLY.


The Following Correspondence is of Vital Interest to Every Telephone User, Present and Prospective.


“New Orleans, La. October 12, 1920

Mr. J. Epps, Brown, President
Bell Telephone Co., Atlanta, Ga.

Dear Sir, --

I have read the advertisements of your Company, buy I do not understand why you must raise your rates now, when the prices of everything else are falling.
Will you please explain this?

Yours truly,
_______________“


Atlanta, Ga., October 16, 1920.
Mr. ________, New Orleans, La.

Dear Sir: --

Your letter of October 12th asks a very natural question, and one which demands a full and frank reply, which I am glad to make.
While the prices of a great many things have apparently, been reduced, these reductions in prices do not apply to articles used by the telephone company, or affect the expenditures necessary in the construction and operation of the telephone service:

Labor: More than fifty-five per cent of the total expenditures of the Company in rendering service are for wages and salaries; less than one-tenth of one per cent of this being for executive and general salaries.
The wages paid to our employees can not, and should not, be reduced. On the contrary they must be increased, in many cases, to bring our wage scale on a level with wages paid by unregulated businesses, so that we may retain our skilled employees necessary to give you efficient service.

Material and Apparatus: Many items of material and apparatus are involved in the current maintenance of the property, entirely apart from the enormous quantities involved in the construction of new property, and this represents a large item of expense.
There has been no reduction nor any indication of reduction, in the price of these essential articles, in practically all of which the labor, freight and hauling cost is by far the largest proportion of the total cost.
We know that the manufactures of telephone equipment and material have orders booked for two years in advance, with a constantly increasing demand, and which in turn makes a reduction in price in the near future more improbable.

Freight and Passenger Costs: Our annual expense for the transportation of freight and passengers is more than one million dollars. No one expects the Railroads to reduce their charges under the level of costs in rendering their service.

Rent: Except in the larger centers our central office and stocks of material are housed in rented buildings, and even in the larger centers we rent varying amounts of properties.
Like every one else, our rents have been greatly increased with no prospect of any reduction. Even in pre war days all leases for property occupied by us were renewed only at higher charges than for the previous rental periods.

Hotels: The board and lodging bill for our men, who must travel in connection with the operation and maintenance of the property, costs many thousands of dollars every year, and we can see no prospect of the hotels lowering their charges. Until they do we must pay the present high charges.

Electric Power and Light; Street Car Fare. We spend many thousands of dollars every year for these services rendered to employees engaged in the maintenance of the property. In the majority of cases the rates charged by these companies have been substantially increased, and there is no thought of any reduction. The Telephone Company, like all others, must pay these increased rates.

Paper, Printing and Stationery: we consume tons of paper for book keeping, correspondence and directory purposes, and pay many thousands of dollars for printing annually. This item of expense has increased in percentage more than the others, and no one has suggested that any reduction in these in costs is probable.

Coal Bill: The Telephone Company purchases coal in large quantities to heat the buildings occupied by its employees in rendering the service.
We, of course, must pay whatever price is necessary to secure the coal for this purpose.

Insurance: even where the actual rate per one thousand dollars has not been increased, we are compelled to carry a larger amount of insurance than in pre-war days in order to protect ourselves in the reproduction of any of the property which may be destroyed by fire, and this is reflected in a very large increase in the total insurance bill.

Taxes: This expense, both Federal and State, County and City, has increased every year we have been in business; the increase this year being unusually high. There is no probability of this expense being reduced.
We do not pay any excess profit tax because we have never earned enough to be subject to that tax.

Buildings: It is common knowledge that the cost of erecting any kind of building now, as well as making alternations and repairs, which constantly confront the Telephone Company and which involve material, labor, freight and hauling, is on an enormous higher plane than ever before. Insofar as the cost of materials may be reduced will this total cost be reduced.
The only way we can furnished adequate facilities for your use from year to year is by constructing the buildings in which to house the central office apparatus in the larger centers; as well as enlarging existing buildings to serve the increased needs, and this work must be carried on from year to year without delay. This involves hundreds of thousands of dollars in expense to the Company.
There are, of course, many other items of expense, all of which are now at the highest level in prices none of which show any sign of reduction for fundamental reasons.
Until these necessary costs of operation are materially reduced we can not reduce the COSTS of furnishing telephone service.
We have carefully studied and analyzed the advertised reduction on prices and find that they are upon articles of which we make but little, if any, use. Applied to the telephone business all known reduction in prices would not reduce the cost of furnishing telephone services one twentieth of one per cent.
This is many times offset by the increase in wages which, in many places, we must make during the current year.
Our present operating revenues are practically equaling by our operating expenses. If the present let down in general business continues for any appreciable time we will lose a material part of the gross revenue now received, which will make a still higher rate necessary if a deficit is avoided.
We are not asking higher rates for the SAME SERVICE we furnished one, two or five years ago, but for a much GREATER SERVICE which we now furnish, consisting of facilities to add many additional telephones to our system during the past one, two and five years.
This fact should be considered when comparing the increase in rates we ask with the increase in the charges of railroad, express and other public utilities for the same quantity of service.
We hope, as every one does, that in the relatively near future prices and the costs of operation, except labor, will be lower, but we see no immediate prospects of this result as far the Telephone Company is concerned.
The increased rates we are now asking are based, in a measure, upon this hope. If the present level of costs of operation go higher, through causes beyond our control, the proposed rates will not yield a fair profit.
It is important to remember that no rate for a public utility is permanent. If conditions and prices so change in the future as to make the rates we are now asking yield too high a return, and if the Telephone Company should not reduce the rates voluntarily, the Public service Commission would.
Conditions as they are must be met, not as they may or should be.
The highest and best interest of the public is conserved in having the Telephone Company in position to supply facilities adequate to the demand for telephones and service, and in this way be prepared to render at all times an adequate service. No community can expand and grow without adequate telephone service, with in turn means adequate plant facilities.
With inadequate returns upon the bare cost of the physical property already in service, - the Company’s credit has disappeared.
With no credit the Company cannot secure the millions of dollars required to provide the additions and extensions to its plant, which must be provided if the public demand for telephone is supplied.

Respectfully yours, J. Epps Brown, President.

F. B. Laughey, the popular and efficient train maker of the North end of the A. C. L. Railway, has had his territory extended to take in Orlando, Kissimmee and Apopka and Narcoosie and branches, extending as far South as Haines City.

THE LOGICAL TREATMENT “ENERGIZER” FOR MANY HUMAN ILLS.

A prominent business-man woke up last Monday with a real case of Sciatic Rheumatism. He was “Energized” twice and on Thursday he was found “cleaning –house” at his store. Ask him.
A younger well-known man came in Friday with an immovable stiff Neck – Neuritis, probably – and in 20 minutes he went out with his neck O. K. and feeling better ALL OVER.
BUT – why wait till it strikes you? Surely there is enough PROOF all around us that “a stitch in time” is much more intelligent than any other way.

LOWER PRICES

The merchant that fails to cut the price of his clothing now days is not on full accord with the times. The markets all over the country are beginning to waver and the public spirited merchant is going to help take a punch at the high cost of clothing by sacrificing his profits this fall. Every one in Sanford knows that we are doing it, because, in Sanford,
WE WERE THE FIRST
But the very fact that clothing prices have been cut is not enough. You want to be sure that the clothing in question is of the kind that merits your attention. We carry SOCIETY BRAND. At regular price SOCIETY BRAND CLOTHES are more than ordinary values. Right now we are taking these good values and making better values of them by slashing the prices.

You will agree when you see these Suits that right now is an investment opportunity.
