V.. 1 I COMMUNITY ADVERTISING * A New Type About to Be Undertaken By Jacksonville. Jacksonville, Sept. 17. —A new type of community advertising is about to j be undertaken by the city of Jackson- J ville, Fla., according to announcement just made. The campaign is to cover a period j of tfiree years and is to cost $300.- 000. This fund was raised early | this year by a group of citizens and i business men who more than a year ago formed themselves into an organi- | zation known as the “Believers in Jacksonville.” The Jacksonville campaign marks the beginning of a new era in Flori da advertising, in that it is the first of the type designed to stimulate very phase of Florida community . life. Earlier advertising campaigns by Florida cities and towns have been directed chiefly at the further develop ment of the resorts and playgrounds of Florida. Jacksonville's campaign is to attract not only the pleasure seeker and the real estate investor, but also to draw new manufacturing plants, to stimulate and further de velop the foreign and coastwise com merce of the i>ort of Jacksonville to develop to the fullest the agricul- ; tural advantages of Duval county. The campaign is the outgrowth of a local advertising project carried out by the "Believers in _ Jacksonville” last year. This latter project told to the populace of Jacksonville and sur rounding territory, through a series of advertisements in the Jacksonville newspapers and later in pamphlet form, the first complete etory of the advantages and facilities of Jackson ville for industrial, commercial and playground development and for new homeseekers. The conclusion of this campaign brought a demand from the people of Jacksonville that thte whole story be told to the outside world through the medium of a national ad vertising campaign.

REPLACING SCRUB BULLS A Total of 195 Bulls' Placed in Fif teen Counties. Raleigh, Sept. 17. — (/P) —A total of was placed in fifteen coun ties of piedmont North Carolina by farm agents of State College, assisted by the dairy extension office, says J. A. Arey, in charge of extension work for the college. This is the result j of an intensive campaign conducted during the six months’ period begin-1 ning March Ist and ending Septem- | her Ist of this year. A complete cattle census of the [ counties was taken. In taking the I census, the workers visited the indi- j vidual farms and discussed line value of purebred bulls with the owners. In this way the scrub bulls were lo cated, and a starting point establish ed. The defects of the scrub were also pointed out, and in many cases the farmers bought purebred bulls | during the taking of the census. Campaigns were put on in Ala mance, Randolph, Iredell, Rowan, Davidson, Forsyth. Mecklenburg, Un ion. Cleveland, Catawba, and Gaston counties. To push the work a fii’e prize of all expenses to the National Dairy Show in Indianapolis October 10th to 17th was offered by Mr. Arey, and a second prize of half the ex penses to the same show. These prizes were for the county agents placing the greatest number of pure bred bulls in their respective coun ties. County Agent W. Kerr Scott, of Alamance, won first prize and will be awarded a silver trophy cut offered by the American Jersey Cattle Club. The second prize went to Ewing Mill saps, county agent in Randolph, who, in addition to half ’hie expenses to the dairy show, will receive a silver trophy cut offered by the National Guernsey Cattle Association. The third largest number of bulls was placed by R. W. Graeber, of Ire dell conty. Chicago to Fight Crime With Music, Mayor Says. Chicago, Sept. 17.—Music instead of police force to maintain peace in the community is planned by Chicago. Mayor Dever has started an investi gation of musical means employed in European citites to keep people happy and out of trouble. “Civic musical centers could be pro vided by the city with great benefit,” he said. “Opera stars and others would, I believe, be willing to donate their services. It is better to spend money for such places than for police men, courts and jails.” Will Sign - Name L 3OO Times With His Teeth. Tittle Rock.

Burlington, Sept. 16. —Two hun dred and fifty sticks of dynamite were set off 800 feet under ground in a well at Elon College yesterday, ail experiment that it was hoped might increase the How in a new well sunk for the town water supply. A. C.

Woman’s Home at Albemarle Is Dynamited; Her Son Accused Albemarle, Sept. 16. —One of the most cold-blooded attempts at murder ever perpetrated in the history of Stanly county was that, last night when some one, thought to be the woman’s. son. fired a stick of dyna mite under the. home of Mrs. Jane Broadaway, who lives in the extreme northwestern section of Albemarle. The explosion took place between 10: 30 and 11 o'clock, and was so severe that it was heard all over the city, al though the circumstances were knowli to only a few Albemarle peo ple until this morning. As soon as the explosion was heard the local police got on the job, with Sheriff R. N. Furr. The sheriff and a deputy started immediately for Thomasville, the home of Will Broadaway, son of the woman whose home was dynamited, the victim having informed the officers that she was satisfied the guilty person was her son. The man was tracked from Albemarle and when the sheriff arrived at Broadaway’s home in Thomasville, the radiator of his car was still hot. He was .arrested. Broadaway, who is a married man about 30 years old, told the sheriff, it is said, that he had been at the home of an uncle, and that he left there about 9 o’clock. The sheriff took him to the home of the uncle and was told by him that Broadaway left his home about 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon instead of at 9 o’clock last night as the prisoner claimed was the case. He was brought to Albemarle and lodged in jail. A Deliberate Attempt.* Looking at the wrecked home, one can’t have a doubt as to the intent of the person who dynamited it. The head of the bed in winch Airs. Broadaway wan sleeping was im mediately over the place where the explosive was fired. The iron bed was wrecked, the railing having been twisted into a corkscrew. The bed was turned over, the mattress torn in pieces and set on fire. Mrs. Broad away was blown into the midd’e of the room, where she was found in an unconscious condition by P- L. Alaberry, a boarder. A four-weeks-old grandchild vof Mrs. Broadaway, sleeping with her, was blown out of the room, through the door, which THE COTTON MARKET Opened Firm on Renewal of Yester day V Late Buying Movement. New York, Sept. 17. —( A J )—The cotton market opened firm today on a renewal of yesterday's late buying movement inspired by bullish private crop reports and further encouraged by higher Liverpool cables, and re ports of a good spot demand in the South. First prices showed advances of 21 to 34 points. December contracts sold up to 25.10 during the first few minutes, or 33 points net higher. This advance met heavy realizing which apparently was absorbed on reactions of 10 to 15 points, and the market showed renewed firmness at the end of the first hour. It seemed traders who had taken the profits on the mid week reaction were rebuying while there was covering by recent sellers for a reaction coupled with reports of price fixing for the trade. Cotton futures opened firm. Oct. 24.65; Dec. 24 05 ; Jan. 24.25; March 24.60; May 24.90. With Our Advertisers.

Milk vessels in the dining room, which adjoined the room in which Mrs. Broauaway was sleeping, were broken and possibly more than half the dishes wore broken by the jar. Not only was a large hole blown through the floor under Airs. Broadaway’s bed. but the overhead ceiling was blown full of holes by flying particles. The con tents of the bed mattress were strewn all over the loom, with particles sticking to the overhead ceiling. The. surprise of all was that either Mrs. Broadaway or the four-weeks, infant sleeping with her when the explosion occurred escaped alive. Os course, they were both badly shock ed and it was inecessary to bandage the head of the baby to save it from permanent injury from the effect of the severe jar. Remembers Nothing. Airs. Broadaway said that she was thoroughly satisfied -that her son was the man who dynamited her home. She said he was mad at her because she would not deed the home to him and that he had made threats that he would either dynamite or burn the house. She said she knew nothing about the shock until her son-in-law, James AlcLester, s eeping in the house at the time, and a boarder, P. L. Alaberry, aroused her some time after the explosion occurred. She said she did not know when the ex plosion went off. Sleeping in the house at the time were also the wives of AlcLester and Alaberry. Mr. Alaberry said that the force of the explosion threw him out of bed and into the middle of the room on the floor. AlcLester would also have been blown out of bed but for the fact that he struck the wall. All those in the house were more or less addled by the force of the jar. Hundreds of people visited the scene during the morning hours to day. and all who *nw the wreck were horrified at the evident deliberate at tempt to kill Air". Broadaway. The man who is in jail charged with the crime, it is said, knew just where the head of the bed .was located, and Afrs. Broadaway believes that that accounts for the explosion having occurred just at the point where it did. J. B. SHERRILL, Editor and Publisher Fate Os Unification Will Be Kn~d.S° on Jail?

VOTING IS CLOSE AT THE PRESENT Various Conferences in the South Already Have Taken Action on the Pro posed Merger. Nashville, Tenn.. Sept. 17. — (A) — The fifteenth conference of tlie Meth odist Episcopal Church. South, which meets in October with the Ilolston and Louisville conference which con vene September 30th, will largely de termine the success or failure of the ' pending plan of Methodist unification. With the adjournment of the Mis souri conference September 14th the vote on unification stood 211 in favor. 370 against the measure, the Missouri conference polled the largest vote of any conference which has met to date, voting 196 to 14-in favor of unifica tion. The Holston and Louisville con ferences are as large if not larger than the Missouri, but the issues in these conferences are more sharply drawn. The Holston is the first of Bishop Edwin Mouzon's conferences to con vene. The result in the Tennessee and Memphis, the other two confer ences over which the'unification lead er had jurisdiction, is said to be ex tremely doubtful. In the Kentucky conference which met recently the merger plan was lost by one vote, the poll being 87 for. and 88 against. Bishop V. W.

London, Sept. 17. —The death ol the Earl of Portsmouth and the succession to the title of his younger brother, Oliver Henry Wallop, who for many years has resided in Wyoming, have arou/sed ca-aderab'.e discussion in England, as the family is one of the most ancient in the kingdom, having settled in- Hamp shire long before the Norman con quest. Also of interest is the fact that th e new Earl and his family are the only living descendants of Sir Isaac Newton, whose niece was mar ried to a son of the first Earl of Portsmouth. j The reports that the new Earl, ! soon after taking up his residence in ! Cody, Wyo., back in 1906, has taken the oath of allegiance to the States and at the same time renounced his I rights to the earldom of Portsmouth, ; are more interesting than important. The fact that the Hon. Oliver is leaving Wyoming and coming over to take pos-ession of the title and estates of his deceased brother snows I that lie is wise to the law covering such cases. While he may have be come a citizen of the United States, as stated, he could not under any circumstances renounce lik* rights to the earldom. Under the English law ,he has no legal power to make such renunciation of his inheritance of a peerage, so that with the death of his brother he becomes Earl of Ports mouth, Viscount Lymiington and Lord Wallop, whether he likes it or not. But as an American citizen he will not be permitted to take his seat in the House of Lords until he has taken steps to recover his Eng lish citizenship. With his new titles the one-time Wyoming cowboy will come into possession of a large fortune. The late Earl was an exceedingly able business man. His own income amounted to a half million dollars or so a year and in addition his wife poH-csxsed a person fortune of some $15,000,000. PRESIDENT’S AIRCRAFT BOARD ORGANIZED Dwight W.
