there is being created one of the
most corneous and exclusive res

Half the distance to the north
and east is the highest hill of all
Florida, uud upon and about it
there Is being created on?* of the
most uniaue agricultural 'com
munition of the country.
The exclusive residential quar-!

North Carolinian's (renins. The'
fellow who is responsible for bo'h
Is Ed II. Hammond, native of
Elizabeth City, a childhood play
mote of Walter f'ohoon and a
large number of other youngsters
who since have found a place in
the Industrial and political history (
of North Carolina and the Vat ton. ;
Mr. Hammond left North Car-'
olfna many venrs ago. He has op-j
erated lumber mills in Michigan
and Alabama, developed real es
tate projects in many states und j

It Is a home for thrifty and indus

l-CV by TK? AlSiftMl
Chicago. Oct. 2.?"Al Smiili for
President." received h noticeable
Ik?ohi on his Middle-Western de
bui here recently ? umi without
so much an mention of beer.
The throngs seemed to take for.
granted that part of the New York
governor'? attitude and acted ac
cordingly. They formed an 1m
pre.-odve and enthusiastic audience
of nearly lon.noo at the Beverly
11111? Forest Preserve, an "Al" |
gave them a five or ten minute i
talk, attacking the Coolldge econ-1
omy program which he called a
myth, and praising the Democrat-,
I?* adminiHtration of Chicago af
fairs.
Piercing cheers and wild yell?. |
characteristic of a political rally'
were common. Governor Smith'
seemed to get away with his stuff i
as well in the corn helt us on the
sidewalks of New York.
There was no mention in the
governor's brief speech that he
hud come West io launch a Pres
idential boom. Thut part of it
was left to the Inauguration, to
the attack on the Coolldge admin-'
Istration. and to the thousands of
bedecked car? whoso banners her
alded "A1 Smith for President." j
It was a day of political booms
for Illinois Democrats. Resides
wanting to start Governor Smith
on the way to the Democratic
Presidential nomination, they
were launching a whole ticket for,
Illinois state offices and Chicago
city offices. Mayor Dever was
getting under way his campaign
for a second term as Chicago's;
chief executive. He discreetly
failed to mention the fight he has(
made against beer. Prohibition,
proved a tabooed subject.
The day's principal political nc-|
compllshments were not made on
the field. While the vast crowd
waited for a chance to see and
hear A1 Smith, the governor and
Democratic political leaders from
?ev?-ral middle wentern Mates were
holding a confab nt their suite at
the Dlackstone Hotel. This fa-j
molts hostelery hna been the
scene of the making and breaking
of many Prealdentlal ambitions.

Smith's manager In the last Dem
ocratic convention, led that meet-j
Int. Several states hereabouts,
with a very large Democratic vote, j
but with worth-while representa
tion In conventions, had represen
tatives here.
Governor Smith met these Dem
ocratic leaders and general Pretil-1
dent la I prospects were talked ov
er. according to report? from those
In attendance. Though the gov-i
ernor's visit wan abort and snap

THEY WALKED ON

and other thorougafures came
when the paving contractors com
plained to the Catellna Island
Company. ru?-nlshltiK the crushed
lock, that the material was off
color.
This is not a publicity yarn, not
a "come on" for tc<uriHts. It Is
the truth, vouched for by the con
tractors who paved the streets
and the company that furnished
the precious metal .hot is trod
dally by even those without n 1
claim to heavenly virtue.
The contractors didn't like the
looks of the cruBhed stone, ho the
Catallna Company Invest Igated
the rock. They essuyel samples
and found that It ran * m to tho
ton In silver ore.
They were more tllall willing
to change tht rock and did ho.
They investigated further and!
foffnd the eftlre mountain side
from which life rock had been tak
