The Tallahassee Compress.

The Florida Warehouse and Cotton Compress
Company have their mammoth cotton compress
completed and in running order
The building proper covers one hundred feet
square of ground in addition to which there is a
large brick boiler house, 20x36 feet.
This press was invented aud manufactured bv
Mr.. George B. Boomer of New York 1t
has great advantage over any other style
of compress made, from the fact that it is
simple and compact, giving double the capacity
to the same weight of any other style, and an
other advantage is that it is noiseless, not MAX
ing the deatening noise of escapement that is so
annoying in other makes. This is the tenth
compress of his make that Mr.. Boomer has put
up in the South.
The machinery is immense, weighing about
10000 pounds. There are two tremendous
fity-horse boilers, two fifty horse engines, and
the whistle is whale" in size, being eight
inches in diameter, and makes musicdl sound
that can be heard for miles.
The four upright columns of the press are
made OF hammered steel, and are seven and
half inches in diameter
1t is interesting to watch the press at
work, as it has capacity of sixty bales
an hOur-One minute-and reduces the he to
about one-third of its former size.
The compress cost, complete, about $35 900,
and requires the following force to run it !:
Two men in the office, engineer, fireman, four
tie hands, two headers and two truckers besides

One Of the natural curiOsities Of Tallahassee
and at the same time a standing illustration OF
the wonderful productiveness of the soil of the
Tallahassee Country, is an immense purple fig
tree, in the yard of Mr.. E W. Clark, al his resi-
idence on Duval street. 1t is % feet in height
and has a spread OF 80 feet. The tree branches
from the root, one trunk growing toward the
North, the other, South. The north branch
measures, six feet from the ground. 80 inches in

Hon. H. G. Crawford, of Crawfordville,
brought us last week some samples of black pep
per, which was grown in Crawfordvlle by Mr..
E. r. Ready. He got his start from plants i'm
ported from South America, and says the trees
are prolific bearers. He now has two trees in
full bearing which about eight feet high, and
is roofing several more. Mr. Ready is satisfied
from his experience that black pepper culture is
a success in this section of Florida and he will
continue to root plants until he has quite large
pepper orchard. He says that he and his
neighbors all use the pepper from his trees and
find it equally good rs imported, if not better.
We have tried the sample brought rs and are
satisfied that il is strong. Why should we buy
imported black pepper when we can grow il at
home? This is quite profitable crop and it
would pay many Of our planters to enter into
the business. They can sell all they raise right
here in the home market and at good prices.

The Tallahassee Gas Works.

The Tallahassee Gas and Electric Light Com
pany have 81 miles of pipe laid, with more yet
to lay. The main building of their large and
substantial works is finished, the machinery is
arriving and being placed in position and every
thing is being pushed forward to completion Just
as rapidly as possible.
The main building is substantial structure.
built of first-class brick is 80 by 70 feet in size
and with the rooms Is feet high in the clear
This building consists of three large rooms In
the east room is the furnace, which is built of
the very best white fire brick the walls of which
are SO thick that it would take a lightning bat
terlng-ram to make them even tremble The
north front of the central room is TO be fitted up
as an office, and in the south front of the same
room will be Placed the engine, condenser ex-
hauster and scrubber The west room is for the
purifying machinery and work shop.
There are six large retorts, made of the best
fire clay. which weigh 1900 pounds each. These
will be put in two benches in the east room with
the furnace-three retOrts to the bench-and will
give capacity of 10000 feet of gas per day
The tank sits on solid brick foundation and
measures AZ feet in diameter and is is feet high
In this floats the holder, which has capacity of

nishing power to run the rotary exhauster, and
one of Blake's new and improved duplex piston
pumps, size 6x45 by feet, to be used in case of
fires, &c.
The machinery, when all in, will weigh be-
tween 80 and 100 tons, and is all Of the very
best new and improved makes. Everything
used in the works is first-class, the best and most
substantial material and tools, and it is the most
complete and costly plant in the State
Mr.. Joseph A. Barger, of Baltimore, an expe-
rienced gas expert, is experimenting the putting
10 of the machinery, and is ably assisted by Mr..
ID. McLachlan, who will, as soon as the coal
house is completed, begin putting in pipes, etc.,
IN the stores dwellings, etc.
The company deserves much credit for erect
ing such first-class gas-works here, and should
be literally patronized. They also stand ready,
as soon as the growth of the city demands it, to
put in first-class electric light plant. This is
another step toward making Tallahassee -four
ishing city, and she is still growing.

the ears weighs one and quarter pounds, three
of them weigh over one pound each and the
five weigh over five pounds. Three ears
have twenty rows OF fifty grains each, max
ing 1000 grains to the ear. The other two have
sixteen rows of fifty-nine grains each, making
944 grains 10 the ear. Mr.. Allen has 100 acres

Fine Cotton.

AT the store of G. W. Saxon & Co. there is
now on exhibition a stalk of cotton which is
far ahead of any we ever saw before. 1t is
the off ]. Wexford variety measures feet in
height and is loaded from top to bottom with
well developed bolls. Ii came from the pIanta-
ton of Mr. 9. e. Bradley, north of Tallahassee,
and Mr.. J. g. Hamln, manager of the planta-
ton, tells us that he has 81 acres, which will
that he expects to get three large bales OF cotton
from the patch-more than bale to the acre
Hanging by the side of this mammoth stalk, is
one from the plantation of Mr.. B. F. Isler, of
the Herlong Prolific variety, which, though not
so large as the sample from Mr.. Brsdley's crop,
is very fine indeed and is also heavily fruited
The cotton crop of these two planters, for size,
quality and condition, is hard to beat, but we
wait for other samples and reports before de
caring them the champions.

Gen j b. Chalmers, the Republi-
can nominee for Congress in this
district, has invented u nice little
theoretical scheme to intimidate the
white people into submission to
negro rule.
Ellis little theory runs about this
way: He assumes, first, that the
negroes Of the district are all Re-
publicans, and that they will all vote
for him and Harrison and Morton;
and he assumes, second, that the
Democrats will not properly count
the negro vote; and then he slowly
and gracefully raises up his right
hand and points his beautifully
shaped index finger, and says in
deep and solemn tones, ~ now warn
you, that unless you do count the
negro vote for me, trouble will come
to the South!"
While the attempt to intimidate,
as shown in this little scheme, is
perfectly harmless, vet it shows a
disposition and desire to Brighten
southern manhood into submission
t., the most miserable caricature
upon civil government that has ever
disgraced American history.
His method of canvass demons
trates that he actually believes that
he can brighten and intimidate the
white manhood of this district. But
he should remember that he is not
now the "boss' of the shOstring
district, and that whatever may have
been his talent for "bossing" and
"buldozing" negroes in the swamps
of the Mississippi bottoms, he can
not by his fulminations intimidate
the free political actions of the I'M
terrified Democracy Of the second
district.
Boys, what do you all say to this?
