OLD HICKNY AND SEMINOLES . Moden Jacksonville Reveres His Memory At- Reunion pirit of Great- Man Militant in Con federate Reunion City-Why Jack sonville Was- Named in His Honor. Jacksonville, Fla.-Confederate so1 diers, the world over, revere the name of Andrew Jackson, and in view of the fact that their next reunion is to be held in the only city in the South that was Almed in honor of that great and brave man, his services in freeing Flor'da from the blight of IiadlAr bar. barism will be of Interest. Jacksonville was named for Gen. Andrew Jackson as a compliment and mark of appreciation far services he rendered to civli:iz.l in the Semi nole War. There could have been no progress or clvi::=t on in Florida but for the work of Andrew Jrckson. Con ditons in this te:iLory in 1S18, nearly a hundred yeirs ago, demanded the servkes of a brave and resolute man. Gen Jitkson was selected by the gov ern-er.t as the one nan above al others to head the movement against the Seminole Indians, who had beet tezrorsizng the terr.tory for several years and committing.atroclties of the most brutal character. ; la March. 1818, Gen. Jackson was ordered to the site of the Seminole War. He Invaded East Florida, and in a campaign of lers than. six weeks erushed these Indians. It is related 'FX Gen. Bennett H. Young, Louisville, Ky., Commander in C*ef United Confed *rate Veterans, Who Hold Their Re. - alnon at Jacksonville In May. by histortans that In one village, not far removed from Jacksonville, he found 300 scalps of men, women and .Children, many of- them . still fresh, . hanging on a war pole. Gen. Jackson kiew that the Span!ards were in sym. * pathy with the Indians in their .attacks an American settlers. After cleaning up a number of Indian villages he cap *tared the- Spanish post of St.L Marks. pir this act he was severely censured by his government. Howev'er, the aked fact Is that "Old Hickor-y" was more eourageous than the men who :wer conducting the affairs of state. at Washington. Early In May, 1818, Gen. Jackson *ioned his campaign against the Sem inoles in East Florida. He had comn gietely broken their power and run themout of the territory. They caused a. more serious trouble. .During his campaign in East Florida Gen. Jacksn obtained satisfactipry ev Mdemce ebat Spanis of~cers at pensa cola were in sympathy with the In diens. He promptly decided to march against them and teach them a lesson. The Spaniish governor of West Elorida, learning of Gen. Jackson's purpose, sent him a written protest against his. invasion. This protest is, now on file - among the Jackson documents In - ehang of the Tennessee Eis~orical gedety at Nashville. The protest was -delivered to.Gen. Jackson near 'Pena .ela en Mayl2, but ithadno effect on 1hat determined man. In reply he sent s, peremptory demand for the imme lists surrender of Pensacola and Bar sancas. Japhkson advanced immediate * bon Pensacola and possessed It. Two days later the Barrancas garrison espitulated, were received as prison ers of war and sent to Havana. Having thus snatched both East and 1West Florida from the Indians and Spaniards, Gen. Jackson at once pro eeeded to establish a provisional gov erhment under the stars and stripes. Having accomplished this, he return ed to Tennessee. then his home. In 1822 a number of pioneers held a meeting here and decided to start the work of building a town. The ,il lag. was then known as the Cow Ford, a name given to It by the Indians. After perfecting an organisation, the incorporation unfurled the banner of $aoksonvllle In honor of Gen. Jackson, .who had made It possible for white smen to live here.. When the Confederate soldiers and their friends meet here for the 24th annual reunion Jacksonville will im press them with all the force of An drew Jackson. It is now a modern progressive city of 85,000 population, go of the thriving business centers of the New South. Its varied attractions' will delight all who attend 'the re gion, and no matter how large: the crowd may be, Jacksonville will take sare of all:' AUTOMOBILE TIRES AT FACTORY PRICES Save.

JACKSONViLLE AND THE REUNION Veterans Will Find a Modern, Progressive City Many Points of Historic Interest Tc Be Visited By Survivors of Gray Army During Week. Jacksonville, Fla.-When the Con federate veterans and their friends as semble here for their 24th annual re union, they will be introduced to a City and community, pioud of the present and loyal to the ideals of the old South. Making Jacksonville the hub of a wheel twenty-five miles in diameter, a territory is covered rich In historic associations and interest and at the same time a fit exponent of all that is progressive in the Southern States. Jacksonville is a city of 85,000 popu lation, with handsome business blocks, modern skyscrapers, commodious ho tels and residence sections that com pare favorably with the best in the country. The city's business has grown into large proportions, embraO ing every line known to a modern city. Jacksonville of to-day Is in all respects a thriving center of trade and commerce, much of its commerce going across the seas into foreign countries on ocean steamships. Its transportation facilities are superb, both by rail and water. Railroads feeding the great Florida Peninsula center here. Thousands of tourists and uncounted tons of freight pass through the city and port every year, the one hunting health and pleasure, the other scattering out over the civil ized world to do its part in supplying the demands of the consumers of the earth. And while the visitors are enjoying this view and prospect of modern business and community thrift, they wiN be given an opportunity to look down the past three hundred and fifty years. All of this territory was in dis pute three and a half centuries ago between the French and Spanish, with the wild Indian holding the balance of , ower between.the combatants. The Frenchman and the Spaniard both laid claim to the Florida territory. Which -was first to discover it is a matter over which historians differ, but it is well authenticated that the first white men to set foot upon the soil now cov ered by Jacksonville were Frenchmen under Rene Laudonnere. The first white man to enter the mouth of the St. Johns river was Jean Ribault, in command of a com pany of Huguenots, who had left France because of religious persecu tions. He made his landing on May1 1, 1562, fifty years after the landing of Ponce de Leon at a point to the south of Jacksonville. Some histori ans are of the opinion that Ponce de Leon sailed as far north as the mouth ol the St. Johns, but the weight of evidence is against this opinion. If he were here he left no trace. The evidence is that he did not travel in a direction from his original landing that would have brought him to the vicinity of Jacksonville. It is thor oughly established that Ribault en tered the mouth of the St. Johns river May 1, 1562, and sailed up the river some miles' to a bluff, where he erect ed a stone column on which was in scribed the arms of France. But Ri bault did not ascend the river as high as Jacksonville. He went from the mouth of the river to Port Royal, S. C. In 1664, one year after the depar ture of Ribault, Rene Laudonnere, who had-been with Ribault on the first expedition, came to the mouth of the St. Johns with another colony of Huguenots, and- ascended the river as far as the present site of Jacksonville, camping probably en the south side of the river on territory now covered by South Jacksonville. These were the first white men to penetrate the eountry above the mouth of the river. In honor of the day of discovery, May 1, Ribault gave the river the name of May, and thIs stood until the Span iards whipped out the French, some years later. The Spaniards called it the River San Mateo at first, but later changed Its name to San Juan. From this It finally became the St. Johns. Old Fort Caroline was situated at St. John's bluff some miles below the city of Jacksonville. No sign of this historic fort remains, not even a slab to commemorate its mournful story. During the reunion, steamboat ex cursions will be run to all these points of historic Interest on the. St. Johns river. It Is but twenty-seven miles from Jacksonville to the mouth of the St. Johns, where the government has constructed, with the aid of Jackson ville, and the State of Florida, a sys tem of jetties, deepened the water on the bar and otherwise protected navi gation. In passing between Jackson -vile and the jetties, the visitor will have no trouble locating the sites of old forts that were erectel nearly four hundred years ago by the French and Spanish. The trip is one of the most delightful In the Southern States. While Jacksonville has not adver tised itself as a large manufacturing city, of recent years many large indus trial plants have been established, giv ing emiployment to 5,000 wage-earners and turniing out $14.000,000 to $15,000, 000 worth of products per annum. In variety of products, the city makes a show ing that but few other commiuni ties ca~n equal.

European travel, once secured, is often under valued by Americans. Lippincotts tells of two American girls talking t gether in Paris: "What shall we do this afternoon?" "Let's go to the Louvre. "Oh, no; I'v~e been there ali'eady, and it's not the sort of place you care to go to Inore than once." The Magasin de Louvre would doubtless have been better appreciated by this young woman.

"Live such a life that if everybody in the world lived in the same way, I this world of ours would be a com plete and perfect one" Is a just as well as a wise saying. Hit Large Audience.
