SECRETARY’S REPORT. 
Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: 
Your secretary regrets to report that 
the number of renewals of membership 
has not been as great at the present time 
as in previous years. Owing to the fact 
that last year there were not sufficient 
funds raised to meet the expenses and a 
deficiency of $264.67 was carried over, 
which, taken from the amount already 
received leaves only a small amount in 
the treasury.

Since the meeting in 1908 the Society 
is greatly indebted to Mr. E. H. Mote of 
Leesburg, who took special interest in the 
society and sent in over one hundred new 
names from Leesburg and vicinity and is 
still showing his interest in getting many 
to renew this season. 
Mr. Howard Y. Stillman, chairman of 
the local committee in Daytona, has also 
done splendid work and has turned in 
seventy-one new names, and I understand 
there are still more to come. If he keeps 
up his present good work he will soon lie 
on a par with Mr. Mote. 
Your Secretary also wishes to report 
that the newspapers have as a rule, been 
very liberal in publishing notices of 
meeting and I wish to especially mention 
the Times-Union, The Florida Fruit and 
Produce News and the Daytona Halifax 
Journal. 
We have also received donations to¬ 
wards expenses from Mrs. Jane Cadliff, 
$1: John Kendig, $2; C. M. Griffin, $5. 
All of which is respectfully submitted. 
E. O. Painter, Secretary. 
Note: Since the meeting at Daytona, 
131 members have been added to our 
list and one life member, so that at 
the time of going to press our member¬ 
ship is as follows: 
Honorary members, 5; life members, 
82-; annual members, 503.
