JACKSONVILLE AS A COTTON PORT For a number of years George Giles the Ocala cotton buyers, have insisted that Jacksonville or Tampa should be made a cotton port and handle the cotton grown in Flor ida and near-by Georgia points. The dream of Giles has materialized. He was invited to Jacksonville a few days ago by some of the prominent business men and shown the muniicpal docks, warehouses and other facilities which the city has put in to take care of cotton and other products. Any of our citizens visiting Jacksonville should visit these institutions and see the powerful compresses, which Giles says are of the most modern type and superior to any that he has seen in Savannah, New Orleans and other ports that he has visited. Giles Co.

believe in Florida first and will therefore do all in their power to help make Jacksonville a cotton port. The Wilson-Mason Co. are the prin cipal cotton merchants. They have the most improved facilities for tak ing care of this business and the indi cations are 'that they will be rewarded with a splendid business. Mr.

CATTS ISNT CONSISTENT Editor Star: I was in to hear Sidney J. Catts speak Friday night. Mr. Catts says he is going to bring about an equalization of taxes, certainly very commendable ambition. Mr.

Catts cites the rate at which the rail roads are assessed, but does not men tion the many thousands of cattle thatU escape taxation in this state. Maybe Mr. Catts would loue some of his enthusiastic supporters if he was so impolitic, for there is one thing that is sure about Mr. Catts, he is a very shrewd politician. But to tell you the truth, I don't think Mr.

Catts is consistent. I heard him speak before the primary. His speech reminded me of a page from the Menace. But what a difference Friday night! Mr. Catts has gained an element of voters, now ha is out after the other.

It serves to be popular with Mr. Catts and his followers to make puns on his name, some of them particularly vulgar. He assures us that the people of Florida will have no cause to be ashamed of him four years hence. Don't you think a good start could be made now by showing more respect for his pro ession, and the high office to which he aspires, by treating his name with common decency? As I said, I heard Mr. Catts speak before the primary and he reminded be of a page from the Menace or the Yellow Jacket, but now he tells us he is complimented and endorsed by a prominent Roman Catholic cleric and he seemed to be proud of it.

Now, who i3 being fool ed. Yours truly, Martel, Aug. 21. A. Cuthill.

VEfl PORTO Of Railroad Managers to Pre- vent HO DECISION REACHED BUT MORE (Associated Washington, Aug. 22 The railroad presidents this morning appointed a committee of eight to consider President Wilson's proposals for averting a strike and make a report to7. the railroad executives, and meanwhile got in touch with their boards of directors. The brotherhood representatives held a meeting, which the leaders said" was just to keep the men together.

It soon adjourned. The president called a cabinet meeting to dispose of other business. PRESIDENT APPEALED TO THEIR PATRIOTISM President Wilson yesterday after noon appealed to each of the executives of the country's principal railroads on the grounds of patriotism to accept his plan for averting the threatening disaster of a nationwide strike. 7 The president emphasized the nec essity for keeping the railroads in service for national defense and to make possible the preparation for meeting the conditions that will exist after the European war. On leaving the White House the railroad presidents held a conference at which sentiment is said to have been against the president's 'proposal in its present form.

Hope was expressed, however, that some 'satisfactory counter proposi tion might be advanced. The task of drafting a finaly reply to the president was turned over to a committee. ADMINISTRATION IS HOPEFUL WThile the utterance of the railroad executives had shown them opposed to the president's proposal that they concede the eight-hour day, administration circles appared hopeful of a ettlement today, and from the fact that the railroad executives communicated with their boards of directors, the conclusion was drawn that their action concerned the concession for an eight-hour day.

J. Mendehall, who is per haps the most notorious prisoner now serving a term in the state prison is hard at work and is being shown no special favors by the prison au thorities, is the assertion of Gus Bart- lett, a drummer who arrived here this morning. "Mr. Bartlett said that yesterday. he was at the prison camp at Raiford, Bradford county, where he saw and talked with Mendenhall, and found him in vigorous health.

He was engaged with several other prisoners, in filling a large silo with chopped corn. Mendenhall's job was tamping down the silage with a heavy maul, which he handled as if he were quite used to that kind of labor. "Mr. Bartlett said that Mendenhall wore shackles on his ankles, and was the only prisoner he saw there who was thus manacled. Evidently the piison authorities are not taking any chances as to his getting away.

Mendenhall talked freely with Mr. Bartlett and said he was being treated well, that he could not complain of a thing, so far as prison life went. He was taking his punishment philisop- ically. The hours of labor were riot onerous. The prisoners began work early in the morning, but were allow ed to rest during the hottest part of the day, resuming their labor along about the middle of the afternoon." CANDLER Candler, Aug.
