. PAVED HIGHWAYS
REUNION TRAVELS
Jacksonville Has Many High
Class Roads to Points
of Interest
Trip# to Be Taken Over Them in Automobile*
During the Reunion of
Confederates May 6, 7, S.
Jacksonville, Fla., April.?It is safe
to say that hundreds, and possibly
thousands, of visitors to Jacksonville
during the week of the great Reunion
of Confederate Veterans and Sons of
Vafaran.i u'iil makf the triD from
their homes in automobiles. Numerous
Inquiries have been received from
all parts of the country concerning
road conditions, and especially in regard
to the practicability of reaching
other pcints in Florida by automobile
trips from Jacksonville.
For the information of auto owners,
desirous of bringing their cars to
Jacksonville at the time of the Re- j
union, attention is called to the fact
that the city license books show thatj
there are over 2,000 licensed automobiles
in the city of Jacksonville alone,
and during the past winter season
more thza 2,500 motor-driven vehicles i
have passed through Jacksonville en
route to various places on the Florida j
peninsula. Unless there were fairly j
good roa.ds, leading from Jacksonville i
to other sections of the 8tate, there
would not have been one-tenth aa i
? -?? ?- ?- i? tKio uunn And i
the hote 5 people of Jacksonville would [
aot have invested so heavily in motor
vafcieles
Dural oounty, of which Jacksonville
to the ooonty seat, was among the first
ef the iSTorida counties to issue road
improvement bonds and to begin the
paving of its highways with vitrified
paving brick and ooncrete. With a
population of only 75,000 In 1909, this
oanty Issued road improvement bonds
that year to the amount of $1,900,000,
and it was provided that not more
than $2,r>0,000 was to be expended In
Toad construction each year for four
pears. The bonds were sold st a
handsome premium and the money
has all been expended on the roads of
the county, with a result that this
eonnty now has some of the very best
lh the South, and theee roads are a
Joy to the Joyrldor and to all persons
who uq> thorn.
Bnt this Is not all; for the Board of
County Commissioners Is at the present
time working up interest In a
proposition to issue from $2,000,000 to
9M00>'.0 additional road Improvement
be nds and construct a system of
pnred r>ads and highways throughout
Mm county of Dural that will be a
model for all sections of the country.
Jacksonville is only seventeen mllm
In a tltreet line from tke Atlantis
Oeeea, where there is one of the flnegt
benches ha tbe world, affording a speedwny
loiar hundred test in width audi
twenty miles ht length. Hem is MM
Ideal asitomofcUe course and H Is v$pi
Med by thousands of ears every yeat.
Trant the city to tbe seashore tin
county bee constructed a magnificent
boulevard, paved with vitrified brick
and with oonarote for the entire dielaneu
Hundreds of cars traverse this
Atlantic Boulevard, as K is known,
dally, and during tbe Reunion many
thousands of visitors will make the
totf by auto to the beach. Once on
the seashore they will find much to
interest then. Surf bathing will he
at its best dating the Reunion week
and many visitors from interior points,
who htTS never before bad the opportunity
to plunge Into the big breaker*
of OM Ocean, will find the experience
A novel and delightful one.
Prom Jacksonville to St Augastla*
the dlst&noe by auto is 28 miles sod
the trip Is easily made in two houra.
la fact, the record for the trip is one
heur and nine minutes, but that is aJ
moet too fast for a trip to the oldest
otty la thi United States.
^ The road from South Jacksonville
ea the opposite side of the majestl*
St Johns river from the Reunion city,
la paved with shell for nine miles and
the going is good. Then comes six
miles of brick paving over which the
ear* fairly skim along. The next four
alios, to the Duval oouaty line, have
not yet been paved, bat a temporary
surface of shavings has been provided.
From the coanty line to St. Augustine,
& distance of 18 miles, the
road la not yet paved but shell ha?
been placed in the wheel ruts and good
time can be made by the average car.
Still another attractive trip, on the
south side of the St Johns river, is
that to Mandarin, a pretty little village
on the banks of the river, about
fifteen miles from the city. This road
Is well pavod with shell for the entire
distance and passes through some
very pretty orange grove3. which in
themselves are an attraction to *11.
At Mandarin there are a number of
attractive homes, surrounded by pretty
gardens, groves and farmB. This
Tillage is the site of the former home
of the late Mrs. Harriett Beecher
Btowe, the author of "Uncle Tom's
Cabin."
The city of Jacksonville has sixty
miles of paved streets and contracts
are now outstanding for several additional
miles, work on which will start
immediately after the reunion, ae it is
the desire of the city authorities not
to ha*e the streets torn up while the
* visitors are here.
Sight-seeing automobiles are numerous
in Jacksonville every winter and
this year several of the large care will
ramain over until after the reunion.
WOMEN FIND THIS IS
BETTER THAN CALOMEL.
Many Mothers and Wives Have Learned
that Dodson's Liver Tone Is a Fine
Remedy for Constipation.
Dr W V Brockington will tell you ;
that it takes the women to realize
the merits of a new remedy for con- J
stipation and biliousness quickly and
surely, whether it is for themselves'
o someone else in their families. j
There are today a great number
of households in which Dodson's Liv- i
er Tone has come to take the place |
of dangerous calomel as well as all i
other remedies for such ailments
and where an atmosphere of health
and happiness now prevails.
Dodson's Liver Tone is unconditionally
guaranteed by Dr W V
j Brockington to be a safe liver remedy
and regulator, absolutely harmless
and with no bad after-effects
i such as are liable with calomel.
Dodson's is a pleasant-tasting vegetable
liquid and clears the aching
head and suffering body with no
pain nor gripe.
So perfect a remedy has Dodson's
Liver Tone proved to be that your
druggist will refund the purchase
price (50c) instantly without question
if you are not thoroughly satisfied.
They are authorized to do so bv
Dodson, who doesn't want your money
unless his remedy can benefit
you. Under such conditions a trial
would seem the part of wisdom.

Mayor to the newspaper office about ,
12:30 this morning. At the conclusion
of the hostilities, Mayor Grace
was escorted from the office.
C P Lesesne, city editor of The
News and Courier, gave the following
account of the affair:
The Mayor, it seems, visited the
office of The News and Courier,went,
to the office of C P Lesesne, city editor,
and told Mr Lesesne that the
paper would rue it if a correct account
of the meeting of the city
executive committee last night in
the Hibernian hall were not pub *

Mayor that the paper was in the
habit of printing true stories and
would do so in this case. Mr Grace
then began abusing the paper. Mr
Lathan, the editor, hearing the talk,
asked what was the matter.
Mr Grace continued his talk about
the paper, and Mr Lathan told him
to leave his office. Refusing to do

Grace became involved in a scuffle
with Mr Lathan. The editor put
Mr Grace down, the fight by this
time having been carried into Mr
Lathan's office, Mr Logan here interfered
and Mr Grace regained his
feet.
Mr Grace and the editor then
resumed their encounter. This continued
until men from the composing
