JACKSON COUNTY BOY MAKES
GOOD IN FLORIDA CITY
(From Palm Beach Port-Times)
Clyde H. Barnett of the Palm
Beach Mercantile company and re
cently elected president of the Mer
chants' Division, Chamber of Com
merce, is another Georgia “cracker”
to become a prominent citizen in
this Florida city.
Born in Jefferson, Ga,, on Octo
ber 7, 1883, he lived in his native
state until 1908, attending public
school, the Martin Institute at Jef
ferson, and the University of Geor
gia. Always an ardent baseball fan
and player, it was this sport that
brought him to Florida in 1908 and
to West Palm Beach two years later.
In Orlando, Mr. Barnett played
professional ball, and in 1910 he was
induced to move here both to play
ball and to take a position in the
Palm Beach Mercantile company.
For many years now his interest in
the game has been limited to that
of a devout fan and a parent whose
sons appear to be following in his
footsteps. Clyde, Jr., now in his first
year at the University of Florida,
played with the American Legion
Junior team, and John is now pitch
er on the High school team. His
son, Bill, is more interested in swim
ming, being on the High school aqua
tic team, but his daughter, Janice,
carried out the family tradition by
pitching in diamondball. The three
younger children, Joyce, Roger and
Donald, are not old enough yet to
show a preference.
Mr. Barnett is secretary of the
Mercantile company and manager
of the hardware department. He
was recently elected president of
the Merchants’ Division and is a
director of the Chamber of Com
merce. In 1914 he was married to
Miss Zela Stoner of Montana.

HOUSE IMPATIENT
Atlanta, March 11.—The Georgia
house today grew impatient with the
delay in paying to the state’® com
mon schools f1,529,300 diverted
from highway funds, and passed a
resolution that it be paid within 48
hours.
The mandate oannot go to the
governor, however, ufitil approved
by the senate, and there was no in
dication of that body’s reactions to
it.
Rep. John W. Bennett, of Ware
county, who introduced the bill, said
off the floor that it was “intended
for the goverpor,” although it did
not mention him by name.
The legislature last month divert
ed $2,000,000 in highway funds to
pay past due salaries of school
teachers and Confederate pensions.
Of this amount $425,000 already
has been' paid to Confederate pen
sioners.
Bennett said he had been advised
that vouchers for paying the divert
ed fund to schools throughout the
state “have been lying on the gover
nor’s desk since about February
25th. What we want to know is
why they haven’t been paid yet.”
There was no direct comment
from Gov. Talmadge, but it was un
derstood he had insisted detailed in
formation from each county entitled
to draw funds from the diversion,
before approving the vouchers, and
some county boards of education had
not yet answered questionaires sent
them.
