C Atemts A ..l For Florida 1906 Has Been a Most Prosperous Year, The present year, which is drawing to a -elose, has been the-most prosperous in the history of this State. There was never a time in the history of Florida when such prosperity prevailed. On the eve of the new year there is everything to indicate that the year 1907 will even eclipse the year just closing and that the industrial -advancement of this and other Southern States another year will be greater than it has during the year 1906. The Record has made it a custom to make an industrial survey of the State at the close of each year, and the one which -we have just completed has brought sur- primes of a most agreeable character. In :lR parts of Florida the greatest prosperity prevais. Every branch of industry, trade and commerce is in a most prosperous way and the advancement made during the past year has been great. This has been a good year for the far- mer, manufacturer, miner and merchant. They have advanced their interests and will start on the new year with every- thing to promise continued and increased Prosperity. In studying Florida with a view of pre- senting this report, The Record has not sought to lass the various industries and enterprises, but has taken them as a whole and in that was secured information of the general character of conditions in the various sections of Florida. There is not a section of Florida which reports a lack of prosperity, and there is not one which oes not report better times and a general advancement all along the line. Especially is this so of the famer and fruit grower. They have had a remarkable year and all of them appear to have prospered. Cotton bas brought a good price, vegetables have been in greater demand and at better prices in the North than they ever have in the past and the same may be said about the fruits which this State sends to market every winter and spring. - Naval stores operators and the manu- facturers of lumber are two industries which do not figure as high as the others In the record of prosperity, but both have had a fairly good year. Some of the reports which the Record lMs received are given here in fulL West Florida. Pensacola, December 10.-Bravely emerg- ing from a series of calamities which have befallen this city during the last eighteen months, Pensacola is today in a more prosperous condition than she ever was in the past. Like Jacksonville recovered from the great fire of 1901, this city is recover- ing from the great storm, and better build- ings will mark the water front, and much better facilities will be afforded the ship- ping interests. The determination on the part of Pensacola to recover from this rebuild the city, when it will be larger and more prosperous than before. Shipping from this port for the past year has broken all records, and Pensacola has added to her territory as a distribut- ing point to a remari:able degree. So far as all of West Florida is concerned, there is everything to indicate that 1906 has been a prosperous year and that 1907 will dawn with the. brightest prospects. Marianna, Dec. 8.-Jackson county has experienced a very prosperous year, de- spite the fact that the farmers report that their crops were not up to the standard. Cotton is bringing a good price and the Jackson county farmer has enough housed to keep him for another year at least. There has been a tendency on the part of the farmers in this section of the State to improve their farms and to work them more carefully. This is due in large part to the scarcity of labor, and the necessity of making what land is tilled yield more abundantly. Middle Florida. Quincy, Fla., Dec. 8.-The year just clos- ing finds Quincy and Gadsden county en- joying an era of great prosperity. The tobacco industry has made remarkable strides during the past two years and es- pecially during 1906. The indications are that the acreage will be greatly increased another year. With this and the other great industries of this section of Florida, there is every reason to believe that the coming year will be a most prosperous one. Tallahassee, Dec. 10.-This county is be- ginning to pay more attention to the cul- tivation of tobacco and the indications are that it is to be a close rival in a few years to its sister county of Gadsden. Real es- tate agents claim that there are a great many inquiries for land in this county upon which to grow tobacco, and there is every reason to believe that this industry is to prosper greatly. In other avenues of trade and industry the county of Leon has enjoyed a most prosperous year. Live Oak, Dec. 12.-Suwannee county has continued to forge ahead during the past twelve months and there is nothing to hinder her future growth on the same magnificent scale. The farmers of Su- wannee have not made a full crop of cot- ton, but they are commanding good prices for what they have made. Suwannee grows the best Sea Island cotton in the State and most of it is sold at home. The naval stores and lumber industries con- tinue to thrive. The extension of the va- rious railroads leading to and from Live Oak into adjacent counties has had much to do with the industrial advancement that this county has made during the year. great catastrophe has brought to the city Central Florida. an immense amount of capital and it will Gainesville, Dec. 5.-Alachua county will require but a few months to more than enter the new year with the greatest feel- Sing of confidence, the result of the great advancement that this part of the State has made during the past several months. Conditions have been remarkably good in this city and throughout Alachua county during the year and the advancement con- tinues unabated. The naval stores and lumber industries are potent factors in this development. Perhaps Alachua coun- ty has the most varied resources of any county in this State. Her phosphate mines, timber,. farming lands and fruit lands combine to produce great wealth. One of the greatest advancements made during the past year has been in the mat- ter of live stock. The farmers are be- ginning to see the importance and the advantage of growing blooded stock and some of the very best stock in the South can be seen on some of Alachua's farms. Ocala, Dec. 10.-Marion county has kept up the pace of progress during the past year and there is everything to indicate a most prosperous year for 1907. There have been a number of larbe enterprises established in this county and more will be in the near future. Marion is one of the best counties of the State and is in a most prosperous condition. South Florida. Orlando, Dec. 12.-There is not a county in the State which has met with such re- markable success in the way of advance- ment as has Orange County for the past year. The weather conditions for the past several years have been good and the or- ange groves are again coming to the front. The fruit crop this year is an enormous one, and in addition to the fruit indutsry, the growing of vegetables has been a great factor both here and around Sanford, which is regarded the best vegetable sec- tion of the State. Miami, Dec. 13.-This part of Florida is more than keeping up the pace of South- ern development. Great strides have been made by this city and the county is in a remarkably good condition. The fruit and vegetable industries are prospering, despite the fact that the weather has been unfavorable at times. Dade county is be- coming known as the best fruit and vege- table section of Florida. The building boom in this city continues and there are I great many costly buildings projected or in course of construction. Tampa, Dec. 10.-No city in the State has enjoyed a more prosperous year than has the city of Tampa. The cigar indus- try has been exceedingly successful and has been growing constantly. In addition to this, Tampa is reaching out as a dis- tributing point and her wholesale trade is4 growing apace. Deep water is promised and the future for Tampa and South Flor- ida is bright. Braidentown, Dec. 5.-Manatee county has enjoyed a year of great prosperity and the indications for the coming year are exceedingly bright. This county is begin- ning to take advantage of her varied re- sources more than she has in the past and the benefits are becoming manifest. The prospects are bright for another year. Arcadia, Dec. 10.-DeSoto county is growing rapidly. She has doubled her pop- ulat'on during the past five years and her growth continues. Her citrus fruit indus- try is now more extensive than that of any county in this State and her phos- phate mining, fishing and general farming add greatly to her wealth. The cattle in- dustry has prospered during the past year and in fact this county has advanced all along the line. TRIAL OF MR. 0'HAp A AND OTHERS IS NOW UNDER WAY. With the following jury, the trial of F. J. O'Hara and others for conspiracy to commit peonage is now under way in the United States court: The trial jury selected to try the cas consists of R. L. Warkman, T. R. Webb, W. C. Cooper, W. O. Jeffrey, C. R. Neck, L. C. Register, D. R. Silas, Frank Nooney, G. B. Mobley, G. W. Platt, 0. B. Rogers and W. S. Dillon. This case is that-of the United States against F. J. O'Hara, George F. Burrill, A. A. Thompson, R. L. Arent, Zach Batten, and George Harper, charged with conspir- acy to hold a certain person in a condition of peonage and with conspiracy to return certain persons to a condition of peonage. This cae will be fought hard from the start. The attorneys for the defense, Colonel W. M. Toomer, George M. Powell and S. J. Hillburn, objected to the trial on the conspiracy charge first, arguing that they had had an understanding with the Assistant Attorney General that the con- spiracy cases would go over, owing to new points of law having been brought out. This objection was overruled. It is understood that the defense has at least forty witnesses, and the State has a great mass of testimony to offer. Following this ease there will be trials of the same defendants on other charges similar to the one at present under con- sideration. Georgia Postmaster Seteced. Valdosta, Dec. 13.-Judge Speer, in the United States District Court yesterday, sentenced former Postmaster Gilbert Meeks, of Nichols, Coffee county, one year imprisonment, an dto pay a fine of $A68 for embezzling that sum from the post- office funds. The amount was made good by Meeks, when the shortage was diseor- ered. da^A 4 THE WEEKLY INDUSTRIAL RECORD. FMIN AND PUON IN PEONAGE CASES. Pensacola, Dec. 13.-Manager W. S. Har- Ian and five of the employes of the Jack- son Lumber Company of Lockhart, Ala., convicted last week of conspiracy to ccm- mit peonage, after, trials consuming near- ly a month, were sentenced to terms in the penitentiary and heavy fines by Judge Charles Swayne in the United States court today. The six men reached here on a delayed train just before the noon hour a1 shortly afterwards were in the court i6om, where sentence was passed. Manager Harlan was the first to be called before the bar and in reply to a question from the court said that he had nothing to say as to why sentence should not be passed. Sentence of eighteen months in the federal prison at Atlanta ad a fine of $5,00 in addition was then passed. Robert Gallagher was the next and he was sentenced to fifteen months in the penitentiary and a fine of $1,000, while Dr. W. Grace, Oscar Sandor, C. E Hug- gins and C. C. Hilton were sentenced to thirteen months at Atlanta and fines of $1,000 each. In passing sentence upon Supt. Galla- gher, who appeared from the testimony to be deeper implicated than any of the rest, Judge Swayne advised the quick tempered Irishman to leave his pistol be- hind when he weL to the Atlanta prison and not to slap any of the keepers in the face if they displeased him. The court announced in passing sen- tense that long petitions had been received asking that the sentences upon Manager Harlan and Messrs. Huggins and Hilton be as light as in the opinion of the court would be consistent with the offense, and continuing, said that he thought that a mistake had been made in this court as well as others in showing too much leni- ency. He did not intend this as a criticism of other ecurts, but they made a mistake, he thought, on the side of mercy, influenced, perhaps, by material sympathy on the side of the man who is in trouble. As soon as sentence was passed, counsel for the defendants asked that supersedeas bonds be fixed and that time be set for ling of the bill of exceptions, as they intended appealing the cases to the United States court of appeals. The date was set for May 15 and the bond of Manager Harlan fixed at 6,000, while others gave bond in the sum of $3,000 each. It was stated that the bill of exceptions could not be prepared in a shorter length of time, as the testimony in the cases will cover nearly 3,000 pages and will be several weeks before the stenographer can prepare it. A Clever Device for a Dip Bucket for Na- val Stbres Hands. 8. J. Sikes, of this eity, who has given several valuable inventions to the naval store industry, has just perfected a dip bucket, whieh will prove of great value to the naval stores operators. The dip bucket is made of galvanized iron, heavily reinforced where the bail is attached to each side and is strong and durable. It is also provided with a lip at the top to prevent the slashing of spirits as it is being carried by the dipper. There are two imes, one six gallons and one quart and the other of four gallons and one quart. Mr. Sikes has applied for a patent and will soo place the bucket on te market. ACCOUNTANTS. F. G.

A motion was adopted thanking Mr. Fer- ran, and the association recommended it as in every way worthy of patronage and suggested that all subscribe for it, and far- ther action was postponed until the next meeting.

Lynch at Gum Root, cn Newnan's lake, near Fairbanks, together with 400,000 feet of lumber, were burned to the ground at an early hour thi morn- ing, entailing a loss in aggregate of about $30,000. It is understood that the plant was insured for something in the neighbor- hood of $18,000. At the time of the Are Mr. Lynch was attending the United States Court in Jacksonville. He was apprised of the conflagration, however, and is expected on the scene today. The mill was one of the largest and most modern in the county, cutting cy- pres exclusively. It was located on the shores of Newnan's lake with a view to cheapness sad convenience in access to the great cypress swamps which surround the lake, and has been employing a large num- ber of hamds and cutting a great deal of lumber since it has been under the per- sonal management of Mr. Lynch. Those in Gainesville who are in a posi- tion to know, state that the mill will be rebuilt at once. STATE TREASURER'S REPORT. Tallahasme, Dec. 11.-The monthly re- port of Ham. W. V.

Hon. E. J. Watson, commissioner of result the address was much shorter than commerce and immigration of the State anticipated, but in the limited time at his of South Carolina, by special invitation, disposal Commissioner Watson stated forcefully and clearly the importance of was the guest of the Jacksonville Board each State establishing a department of of Trade Wednesday and at the regular commerce and labor. He pointed out the meeting delivered an address that will no impossibility of individuals or representa- doubt be of great benefit to the entire tives even of evorporations obtaining the 8tt. of loridaa official recognition of foreign governments Following the plan mapped out by the Southern States Immigration Association, of which Gov. Heyward of South Carolina is president, the board of trade adopted resolutions declaring the necessity for the establishment of a State department of commerce and immigration, and urging the State legislature to establish such a department of the State government. This action of the board followed the address of Commissioner Watson, who pointed out the importance of the establishment of such departments in every State in the South. Upon his arrival in the city Wedfnesday morning Commissioner Watson was met at the depot by Qol. Walter P. Corbett and CoL James L. Taylor, of the sub- committee of the board of trade com- mittees on immigration and real estate. At 11 o'clock he met with the full sub- committee and went over with the mem- bers the plans that should be followed to secure the desired end. This conference resulted in the committee recommending the adoption of the resolutions which were presented and adopted by the board of trade. Cel Corbett's Luapheon. After the conference, Commissioner Wat- son became the guest of CoL Corbett at a luncheon at the Seminole Club, which proved a most delightfully informal affair. To meet Commissioner Watson, Col. Cor- bett invited Messrs. W. W. Cummer, W. C. Powell, C. E. Garner, George W. Wil- son, D. U. Fleteher, W. R. Carter, John G. Christopher, H. H. Buckman, Morgan V. Gress and Bion H. Barnett. While there were no speeches, there was a pleasant eross fire of conversation that was highly entertaining and inter- esting, for each of the Jacksonville gen- tlemen brought out some new point that was explained by Commissioner Watson in a way that most favorably impressed all with Mr. Watson's thorough study and complete knowledge of the immigration problem. Seldom has a social function been more thoroughly enjoyed than Col. Corbett's luncheon to Commissioner Wat- son. At the Board of Trade. Much to the regret of those who are vitally interested in the success of the movement that Commissioner Watson so ably advocates, the proceedings of the monthly meeting of the board of trade were of such a nature that it was about dark before he could be introduced and begin his address at the meeting. As a when they go to those countries to induce immigrants to come to the United States. He told of his own experience and de- tailed how the immigrants that have been landed in Charleston and those to be landed there, have been selected and stated that only 500 out of 1,400 applicants were selected. Careful Selection Necessary. Ellis Island, according to Mir. Watson, should be located on the European side of the Atlantic and there the selection of immigrants for the United States should be made. He said it is no trouble to get the immigrants of the most desirable class, but the greatest care has to be exercised in making the selection, for there are masses of them not fit to come to this country who are anxious to do so. He pointed out the chance Florida has to secure the inauguration of a direct line of steamers bringing immigrants to this port, and how the ships can be loaded with cargoes of Florida products for the return voyage. He was confident, he said, that intelligent effort on the part of an author- ized representative of the State would re- sult in establishing a market for Florida products in European countries. After being formally introduced by President Garner to the members of the board of trade, Commissioner Watson said: Ag Few Bouquets. "I feel highly honored to have the op- portunity to be present among this splen- did body of men who represent the busi- ness interests and advancement of this beautiful and progressive city, and to ad- dress this board of trade, but there are other men who are entitled to the honor more than I, business men who have served this board for almost a lifetime. I in- tended being in New York today, but upon an invitation extended to me by the Jacksonville Board of Trade to deliver an address on immigration, I gladly respond and am glad to be here this evening and to look into the face of every man who has been doing something for the better- ment and advancement of this State, and Jacksonville, the great Metropolis of Flor- ida. When I look around me here and see this great city which was visited by a most disastrous and destructive fire in 1901, and see the most phenomenal growth from a bed of ashes into a modern and up- to-date city, I know that I am face to face with men who have the quality and grit that counts. "When your invitation came, I declined the New York invitation to come here, for I believe down in Florida, not only can you make the State what it ought to be and can be, but can aid in the up-build- ing of the Southern States, if we will only avail ourselves of the opportunity and now is the time for you to avail your- selves of the opportunity that is within your grasp, that will not come again in a hundred years.

The association has a large membership and those who have signed the agreement as to the wage scale, etc., re living up to it. The business men of Jacksonville are not forgetful of the fact that it was the naval stores business which assisted most materially in the rebuilding of Jackson- ille after the fire. The Industrial Record carries the best eas of advertisements of any paper pub- Pmed in this State. The Record reaches a wealthy and select class of readers and the enterprising and responsible business men are patronizing it to a great extent. Stop advancing to laborers and you will stop these trials for peonage. There are other troubles which we have in the oruth which are to be traced directly to this evil of paying a laborer before his wrk is done. Fernandina has the assurance of anoth- er railroad in the near future. With anoth- er railroad tapping one of the best see- tions of the South and with her magnifl- es- harbor Fernandina is destined to grow. ADVANCES MUST STOP. The Record has repeatedly called the at- tention of its readers, and especially those who are engaged in the manufacture of lumber and naval stores to the danger of advancing to laborers because of the peon- age laws and the policy of the government to enforce these laws vigorously in this part of the United States. From the developments of the past sev- eral weeks it is evident that the prose- cution of cases of this character have only commenced and that there are others who are liable to be brought before the United States court on this charge. It des not require any distant steps from the ordi- nary treatment of laborers to justify the government in lodging this charge against an employer. There is but little to this peonage law, and those who advance money to their hands are in great danger of having the charge brought against them. The very first pre-requisite to the estab- lishment of a peonage charge is this mat- ter of indebtedness. That is why we claim that those who advance money to their hands are in danger. It is natural for the manufacturer of naval stores or the saw- mill man, to tell one of his employes who has managed to get in debt that he must work that indebtedness out. If there is the slightest intimidation along that line, a case of peonage may be brought. The necessity, therefore, to cease advancing to labor ought to be strikingly apparent to all of those who employ labor to any great extent. And there are other reasons why this practice should cease. There is not a man who employs labor to any extent who is not convinced that the practice is a bad one. There are other reasons besides the danger of peonage to confront the em- ployer who advances money or its equiva- lent to his laborers. It not only tends to bring about a general disorganization of labor, but it generally, if not always, en- tails a loss. The South has suffered in many ways because of this practice and it is time that this policy was being stop- ped. It may be hard to turn over the new leaf and stop advances to labor, but the sooner that this is done the sooner will labor conditions in the South begin to improve. The Record does not wish to place it- self in the attitude of countenancing the commission of crime even in the defense of its friends, but we are interested in seeing an end to this prosecution of peon- age, not only in the interest of two of the great industries of the Southern States, but in the interest of the development of this entire section. If advances were not made to laborers there would be no peon- age charges. The method, therefore, to stop this prosecution and talk of peonage must be clear to the minds of all those who employ laborers in any considerable numbers. Interstate Commerce Commisioners.

This show will be given in connection with the chautauqua. While it is not actually a part of the chantauqua, the date has been set that chautauqua visitors may attend the same, which will afford an excellent opportunity to show the stocy products of the county to good advantage. This stock show will last for four days, and its objects will be to show what Alachua county is doing in stock raising, and to encourage the horse and cattle in- terests of the country. Plans will be in- augurated to erect a pavilion 200 by 100 feet, with all modern conveniences. The show ring will be sufficiently large so that stock can be ridden and driven with ease and grace, showing to best advantage the stock on display. Seats will be arranged on either side of the ring, or hippodrome, and powerful lights installed, in order that the stock may be exhibited as well at night as in the day time, and with the sameeffect. The court will seat at least two thou- sand, and will afford all an excellent and uniform opportunity to 'ee. It is said by stock owners, as well as others who are regarded as shrewd busi- ness men, that this show will accomplish for the individual good and benefit for the county more 'than double the amount of money and labor expended in making ex- hibits at state fairs, where many feel that they receive very unjust judgment. It is understood that Major W. R. Thom- as. one of the largest owners of horses in the State; G. Henry Davis, another prom- inent horseman, and others, are now agi- tating this matter, and that they have the hearty cooperation of C. WV. Chase. one of the mo:t liberal and public-spirited citi- zens, and N. A. Callison. manager of the Spring Park Stock Farm Company, who is one of the best posted men on cattle in the South. EAST GRAND PARK SALE OF LOTS WILL BEGIN MONDAY MORNING. Perhaps no real estate announcement made in Jacksonvile in months has created more widespread interest than the an- nouncement of the sale of East Grand Park lots, which will begin at the office of the Jacksonville Development Company next Monday morning at 9 o'clock. These lots are so conveniently located almost at the city limits, within the very zone of manufacturing development, that the prices at which they will be offered will cause them to be in the very highest possible demand. The Development Com- pany has already received scores of in- quiries by mail regarding the property, asking for plats, etc., and plats of the property are now on exhibition at the Jacksonville Development Company's of- fice, and will be during the remainder of the week, although, as stated, no lots will be sold until next Monday morning at the hour specified. East Grand Park lots offer an unusually attractive investment and hundreds of peo- ple will be quick to grasp it. There are only 900 lots in the entire sub-division, and the Development Company confidently expects to close them all out within a few days from the time the sale begins. A big force of men is now at work at East Grand Park, putting the property in magnificent shape, and every person who sees it is pleased with its general attrac- tiveness, and with its possibilities for the future, as it is looked upon as being the "gateway to the city" and the natural and inevitable manufacturing suburb.

His great stores are as usual the headquarters for all holiday purchasers, useful gifts being the order of the day, by reason of the permanent pleasure and usefulness derived from a piece of fine Furniture. We can with all confidence recommend a visit being paid him before final selection is made, for if you desire to make a gift that carries with it evidence of artistic work and suggestive of careful and thoughtful selection with special reference to the taste of the recip- ient, we know of on Furniture Stores whose display more aptly expresses that. purpose. The magnificent display of toys alone will well repay a visit being made, as the time is getting short and the choice will be picked over. We advise an early call. zM8o86o Sche Children.

THE NASSAU LINE MAKES A CHANGE The Norwegian steamship Nicaragua, Capt. Sareussen, which is now moored at the Consolidated Grocery Company's pier, has made her last trip in the -ervice of the Nassau Steamship Company, and will leave in a few days for New I leans. A few days ago A. C. Common and W. A. Jones, the founder of the's steamship line, retired from the active management of the line, and it wts then decided to cancel the charter with the steamship Nicaragua, the other members of the line agreeing that the freight business was not sufficient to warrant the running of the steamer. It was learned yesterday from good au- thority that the Nassau line would be continued; that several small schooners and one three-masted schooners had been cahrtered to bring cocoanuts to Jackson- ville for the Florida Refining Company and to load lumber here for Nassau and Cuban ports. It is believed that the schooners can do a better business for the company than the steamer, because they can run into the smaller ports, load cocoanuts and brint them to this port cheaper than the steam- er could. Messrs. Jones and Common still retain their stock in the Florida Refining Com- pany, which is a paying enterprise, but they have retired from active management of the company and of the steamship line. Mr. Common has accepted an important position with the C. B. Van Deman Com- pany. The schooners to be used on this line will be the Roberts & Russell, William H. Albury and others, and it is believed that the schooner line will be a paying invest- ment to the company.

Hillman, a promi- meut citizen of that thriving middle Flor- ida city. Thursday afternoon Mr. Hillman, ac- companied by three well known business men of Live Oak, steamed up to the Ara- gon hotel and when they reported that they had come all the way from Live Oak, a distance of seventy-five miles in six home, they were hooted at, but soon evinced their hearers that they had real- ly made the trip. While the road was not the best in the world, Mr. Hillman says that he made the trip without a mishap and intends to in the future, do all his traveling between Live Oak and Jacksonville in his Cadillac machine, not waiting on the railroads. A good, hard road between Jacksonville al Live Oak, and from here to other im- portant cities would be a great thing for the automobile owners in Florida, and it was stated yesterday that a movement was on foot to build such a road between Jadsonville and Live Oak. SCHOONER TRUE 18 IN DISTRESS. The American schooner Julia A. Trubee, 337 tons, Capt. E. E. Bayless, which was cleared from this port on November 23, and sailed the same day for New York with a cargo of 390,000 feet of yellow pine lumber, has put into Norfolk, Va., in dis- tre.s. The particulars of the Trubee's trouble are given by the Associated Press as fol- lows: Norfolk, Va., Dec. 14.-The schooner Julia A. Trubee of Bridgeport, Conn., Capt. Bayless, from Jacksonville, Fla., November 23, for New York with lumber arrived here last night in distress after having en- countered the coast storm off Cape May and being driven south. The vessel was stripped of her head sails. She will secure new sails and proceed for New York. Capt. Bayless is an old trader at this port and his many friends will regret to learn of the damage to his vessel. LEGAL NOTICE. Notice is hereby given that on, to-wit, the 20th day of February, A.

Eggplants at Southport were badly in- jured by the recent frost. Over a carload of oranges a day are be- ing shipped from St. Petersburg. L R. Decker, of Sunbeam, will have about 1,100 boxes of oranges this season. Rain is very much needed at Lotus for the benefit of fruit and vegetables. A few early potatoes are being sent from Venice, which are realizing fancy prices. At Orange Springs oranges are ripening very fast and shipping will soon com- mence. Large quantities of beans and cucumbers are being shipped from Bowling Green. A meeting of the stockholders of the Consolidated Fruit Company was heldat Miami last week. It is estimated that 200,000 boxes of oranges will be shipped from Fort Myers this season. A train containing nine solid cars of grapefruit and oranges left Fort Myers one day last week. Sweet potatoes, some tomatoes, cucum- bers and eggplant were killed by frost at Mins last week. Al 'the packing houses are open at Mait- hadm, and orange shipping is on in earnest. A good season is looked for. J. Z. Kyaer, of Mime, shipped some sweet potatoes to Palm Beach last week, for which he received 75 cents per bushel f. o. b. P. D. Ooulaw, of Kissimmee City, has raised some extra fine sweet potatoes on a very small patch of ground. He has raised six crops in two years. There are some very fine orange groves in and around Longwood, one of the best of which is the one owned by W. S. Moore, in South Longwood. James Cribbett, of Largo, has sold his Ae orange grove and crop of fruit to A. P. Baskin, of Anthony, and J. G. Baskin, of Dunnellon, for $10,000 cash. The oranges at Clarna have been sold to A. K Newton A. (n Winter Ear.wen. The golden fruit continues to go for- ward very rapidly from Sutherland. Ship- ments last week were unusually heavy. Seven solid cars were shipped from Suth- erland on one day, and the movement con- tinues. W. S. Newman, of Thomasville, was suc- cessfully disproved the statement that it is impossible and unprofitable to raise and save hay in this State. He has raised a fine crop, and says it is no trouble if gone about in the proper w-a. Oranges are now going forward. Our growers have waited until the fruit show- ed more signs of ripening, not sending off in a half-green state to spoil the name of Florida oranges, which are the finest ever grown when fully ripened before picking.- New York Fruit and Produce News. A BIG DEAL. Organization of Suwannee Naval Stores Company in Levy County. Surveyor J. W. Patton has returned to h's home in Gainesville, says the Sun of that city, from the vicinity of Janney, Levy county, where he has been engaged for the past few days surveying a large tract of timber land, comprising 7,500 acres, for Epperson & Hardee. Epperson & Hardee, who have been ex- tensively engaged in the naval stores bus- iness in Levy county for some time, it is reported, have sold an interest in the bus- iness, which will be considerably enlarged, to Tiller & Co., Ocal., and the company will be incorporated under the style of the Suwannee Naval Stores Company. The tract which Surveyor Patton has just fin- ished laying out is said to contain some of the finest round virgin timber to be found in the South, and this tract will be embodied in the new charter. It is said that the Suwannee Company will at once begin operations in the matter of cutting new boxes and opening this tract, which means a great commercial gain for that section of the county.

S"The importance of our great public do- main to the people cannot be overestimat- ed. It is the nations heritage, and every available rod thereof should be regarded as peredly dedicated to the purpose of pro- viding hops .for the homeless. The laws enacted foi the protection of the lands should therefore be rigidly enforced, and this has been the cardinal principal of my 4dminlastaton:". Sentence Inadeuate. "ft ia to be regretted, however, that the aorts made to release it trom the grip of it despoilers have been met by every em- arrssment that human ingenuity could devise; powerful influences have been con- erned, and have not hesitated to ag- ressivetl exert every agency that could be e mYmanded to weaken the hand of the hr; even local land office official have beta subservient to such influences, and the punishment imposed by the courts has, in many cases, been so conspicuously in- adequate as to encourage rather than de- ter violations of the law. "Whether this official stagnation is due in any degree to lheal political influences to which these officials are more or less indebted for their commissions and the retention of their positions is not impor- tant to discuss at this time, it being suf- fcient to state that it is a deplorable fact that such action, or rather inaction, is bringing reproach upon the public service, besides enhancing the difficulties which be- set the administration in any efforts that it may make to rescue the public domain from serious peril. "In the discharge of my duty under the law I have proceeded without the slightest prejudice for or against any person or persons interested. In such efforts as have been made to protect the service under my supervision from the ravages of inordi- nate greed, I have not considered either the station or the power of the guilty. "Apparently they are all on the same footing; in my judgment, however, the higher the offender the greater the crime against society and' law, because of the force and influence of the higher example.

"It is not possible for persons and cor- porations of great influence and power to maintain inclosures of the public lands in open disregard of a criminal statute with- out thereby encouraging others to do like- wise. , "Here it may be properly noted that re- ports on file in the department indicate that approximately 500,000 acres ordm that approximately 500,000 acres and more '^ sioners. VERDICT IN PEONAGE CASES. Three Foremen Convicted and Five Ex- onerated. Pensacola, Dec. 8.-At 11:30 o'clock to- night. after being out for more than four hours, the jury returned and presented a verdict in the celebrated case of W. S. Harlan, et. al., charged with conspiracy to commit rponage, which has been on trial in the United States Court for the past twelve days. Manager Harlan and seven foremen and superintendents were tried upon this general indictment of the grand jury and five were acquitted, the three convicted being Me-srs. Gallagher, Grace and Sandor, the verdict being a compro- mise as to Manager Harlan. The case came to a close, so far as the taking of testimony was concerned, late last night, Manager W. S. Harlan being the last witness to be examined. His tes- timony was in rebuttal of the Statements made by Operator Satterwaite to the ef- fect that witness had heard conversation between Harlan and Dr. Grace in which Ha.lan had told Grace to go after the foreigner Mihaly and when he was cap- tured to give him a bad scare and per- haps it would stop some of the others from leaving. This was emphatically de- nied by Manager Harlan, who said that he had no recollection of ever having a con- versation with Dr. Grace regarding the foreigner and certainly not to give in- structions to them of such nature. This morning the arguments began, As- sistant District Attorney Reese opening for the government. The court limited the prosecution and defense to three hours each, and Attorney Reese consumed about an hour of his time in the opening ad- dress to the jury, and was followed by Chief Counsel Flournoy. This afternoon Judge Reee, who was called on the case recently, delivered one of the most powerful arguments for the defense heard in the court room during the present term. District Attorney Shepard had the clos- ing argument of the day, and his speech was an excellent effort, comprehensively detailing the case and recalling the princi- pal points of the testimony for the gov- enrment. At 5 o'clock Judge Swayne charged the jury. His charge was a lengthy one and consumed nearly an hour. In it he ex- plained peonage and what constituted con- spiracy to commit peonage, the offense with which the men are charged. The case then was placed in the hands of the jury and an adjournment taken for supper. At 7 o'clock the jury returned to the court room and began the consideration of a ver- dict in the ease, coming to a decision at 11:30 p. m. East Coast Lumber Co.
