WORKMEN BEAT WHITE STREET CAR CONDUCTOR Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 21—A mob of workmen heat up a white street car conductor at 5:30 December 1st. The men were on their way to the U. S. quartermaster's camp, now in course of construction and employing the conductor to complexions, including many whites and men of color from northern points. It seems as if the cars are not numerous enough to carry the large body of laborers and the consequence has been the disruption on the part of the men who have to handle the cars as well as great annoyance to the workmen. Saturday morning the crowd was so large that a number of rows developed. The disruption and the disruption and the conductor as to how many should ride and who must get off. The conductor, growing angry, was so thoughtless as to kick one of the men off the train reached the railroad crossing at Lackawanna avenue about 400 men got off the car, saying that they would not ride under such circumstances and disinterment for conditions over which the conductor had this point the conductor became indignant and refused to go ahead unless the man huddled back into the crowded cars. It was at this point that a man entered the men and the conductor, and here again the unfortunate conductor got into a row with a Race man and started to handle him roughly (being armed). At this point the men became infuriated and handed the conductor in their own hands and handed the conductor a terrific heating.

Say, Clara, Mr. W. would be a very handsome young man if it wasn't for his awfully bad hair, wouldn't he? Oh, he's all right now; he had his barber treat his hair with Palm Cream, and now he is simply a dream. Our Palm Cream will not only straighten hair, but will keep it straight. Water or change of climate will not affect it. We have thousands and thousands of men today—men in all walks of life throughout this country, South America, the West Indies and various parts of Africa—using our goods. It is not always that a manufacturer can succeed with his goods in his own home town. He often has to seek fields far away. But not so with us. We have succeeded in our home. If you know a barber in New York, write and ask him what he thinks of Palm Cream. Palm Oil is an accessory to Palm Cream, as it grows the hair and keeps it beautiful. If your hair is harsh and dry or brittle it needs Palm Oil. If it is sick, stubborn and will not grip it needs Palm Oil. Palm Oil is not that soft, greasy mess used by so many people for the hair. It is dry and neat; it will not grease your hair, but will give your hair that beautiful, silky, glossy effect so much desired by everyone. Big inducements offered to agents.

"Come Through" "Come Through" is the title of one of the most thrilling pictures ever exhibited at the popular States theater. It takes two days only. It is advisable for my readers to be well meril the dates, Sunday and Monday, Dec. 23 and 24. "Come Through" you more thrills to the minute than a minute at the beginning in your life. It has been called "great," "tremoniously clever," "fasinutting," "marvelously realistic" etc. It is the book of George Bronson Hoving photobook by author. It is going to give you the greatest two hours of thrills that you ever enjoyed and you are going to talk to you about seven reels. It is the particular type that I rave about. It holds them spellbound in the grip of intense interest all the seven reels. Of one single second, one of the seven single second is there a let-up in the grip in which it holds its audiences. And there is an interesting story in the writing of the story, which is of great interest of all underworld dramas. In this connection the author says: "Come through as the result of that," he said.

My refusal only prompted the crowd to more forceful efforts to get me to write. "I still refused, when one of the boys added that he would bet me $1,000 that I couldn't do it. Now, one of the boys told me that thousands they pay me for such work was a temptation, so the money was put up and I went home. Far into the night I pondered and when I was rehearsing, I said, "Like a thunderbolt it came. The reverse English on the idea of the trapped lover pretending to be a burglar. Mine should be a high class man. I must marry a stunning society girl. midnight, to the announcement of all. What would then happen? The idea in the main planted, the plot and "Come Through" was the result."
