To the democratic voters OF Leon county:
In 1861 when the tocsin of war first
sounded, announcing a contest between
the northern and southern states, a lad
Of II years shouldered his musktt, babe

front 10 battle for what he conceived to
be right During the long, weary years
of soldier life with not AN oasis appear
ing) nobly did he do his duty. At the
battle of Gettysburg, while leading his
company into action, he fell, receiving
two wounds, necessitating the loss of a
foot and thumb.
When the late fratricidal war was over
he seemed determined to make as good a
citizen as he had soldier. A staunch
democrat, serving since 1872, consec-
utively as treasurer for state executive
committee and for many years as ire 49,
urer of the Leon county campaign fund,
he now asks, as l see by the last weekly
papers, the support of al democrats for
the Office of county treasurer. This man
is Capt. John D. Perkins, and, as an cd
comrade and true friend, I, too, join in
his request to the democratic voters of
old Leon to support him.

The Revised Statutes.

Mr.. Louis G. Massey returned on Monday
from Jacksonville, where he spent two
weeks in supervising the printing of the
Revised Statutes of Florida by the press of
C. W. DaCosta. The revIsers, Messrs
Bount, Cooper and Massey have brought
their three years labor on this work to a
close and it will be published in May
Under the provisions of the law, toe Gov
ernor will issue his proclamation announc-
ing the publication and the new statutes
will 20 into effect on the thirtieth day
thereafter The book will be one of about
/ 400 pages and will contain the constitu-
ton Of the United States and the constitu
ton Of Florida elaborately lDdexed The
Revised Statutes, as enacted by the legisla-
ture of 1889, with side references to The
acts, and references to all the decisions Of
the Supreme Court, stating the point to
which the case is cited; the general laws
passed at the session of 1891, and an index
to the Revised Statutes. There has been
no revision OF the law since 1929, when the
body of the statute law was very insight
fcant, and the revisers, therefore, have re-
viewed all the statutes passed in sixty
years. Reporter.

PEAR BLIGHT.
An Interesting Letter From one who
Knows.

Knows.
Hon. L. B. Wombwell, commissioner oil
agriculture, has received the subjoined
letter, which will be read with interest by
pear growers:
NEW YORK, April 10, 1892.
Mr. L. B. Wombwell, Agricultural Department,
State OF Florida Tallahassee, Fla:
DEAR SIR regret that there has been
so muchdelay in answering your interesting
letter of the 5th instant, but in the pressure
of the spring business my correspondence
has gotten into arrears.
Iresret that we have no pamphlet en-
bodying analyses OF soils, trees or vege-
ia bles in Florida, or in TACT anything out
side of our Florida pamphlet, devoted
mainly to oranges, that would be of special
interest to you.
In regard to the matter of blight on pear
trees, am str ongly inclined to believe tina
as rule the vigorous trees-those supplied
with all the plant food Ingredients, are less
liable to attacks OF blight than those less
hardy, aid Jet at the same time in the ex-
perience in my father orchard, with nearly
1000 pear trees, have good reason to
know that there are very many exceptions
TO this rule. Our trees We're mainly
Duchesse d'Anpoulaine, variety desirable
for this market. They were mostly set
out at the same time, of good stock, the
ground well prepared and literally supplied
with plant food. The trees are now over
twenty years OF age. They were originally
dwarf but have become more like standards
than dwaris During the past ten or fifteen
years many OF these trees, perhaps fourth,
have been struck by blight, and I have
never been able to trace it to cause. Some
times single tree would be picked out of
row of many hundred ;eet in length; al
other times two or three trees in row ad-
Joining each other have become the victims
Then after gap of several or more trees
another tree or perhaps two would be
blIghted. Of course under these circum-
stances l could not attribute the blight to
stock, plant iood supplied, season or soil.
The results were as uncertain and difficult
of anticipation as the destruction OF lele-
graph poles here and there by lightning.
Since the receipt Of your letter I have
talked with several large and practical
growers in the hope of finding some new
light in the experience Of recent Years, but
their experiences in all cases have been the
same as my own.
The pear is heavy feeder and requires
liberal suppli"s not only of potash but of
phosphoric acid and Of ammonia For
years grew crops, vegetables, between the
rows OF the trees; after ards l abandoned
that plan, kept the ground well cultivated,
kept clear from weeds and mulched liber-
ally with salt hay. We were particularly
careful with our mulchiuC under the trees
but not too near the trunk, as in that way
we saved and utilized tor market many
wind-ialls which otherwise would have
been tlost. The fertilizers were scattered
broadcast from row to row considerably
outside and beyond the branches OF the
largest trees We did all we conld to in

THE DUAL MIDDLE.

|
1t is to be regretted that the man.
agement Of the Times Union should
have let their disappointment and i'll
temper at losing their grip in the
democratic county convention lead
them into printing bitter editorials
that will not be endorsed by any true
democrat.
The Times Union is wrong. The
democratic convention of Duval
county has met, nominated county
officers and chosen their delegates to
the Tampa convention. AS demo-
cratic journal the Times-Union
should recognize this fact and abide
by the result.
A calm review of the case reveals
these facts: A call was issued by
democratic county executive com.
mittee for primaries and a county
convention. Pursuant to that call
the primaries were held and dele
gates to the county convention were
chosen. The convention met at the
appointed time. Chairman Bars of
the executive committee was on
hand, called the convention to order
and had the call of the committee
and the list of delegates elected to
the convention read. The conven-
ton then organized by the election
of a temporary chairman, to whom
Chairman Bars of the committee
surrendered the gavel. With that
act the life of the old executive CON-
mittee went out, and they had no
more authority whatever.
The convention then proceeded to
nominate county officers, to select
delegates to the state and congress
sional conventions, and to select a
new county executive committee.
The executive committee selected by
that convention is the only author.
lied executive committee of the dem
ocratic party for Duval county.
ANY attempt of the defunct COM
mittee to call primaries and another
convention is without democratic
authority. Any convention held now
on their call will not be democratic
convention, but an independent con-
vention for the purpose of bringing
out ticket in opposition to the reg
ular democratic ticket, which has
already been duly nominated by a
legal convention. Il
1t is to be hoped that those disap-
pointed individuals who are Kicking
will see the error of Their way and
come back into linec This is not the
way to bring ebout democratic bar
mony. They should drop their in
movement and come out
Ike men and stand by the regular
democratic nominations. 1t was but
natural for them to feel sore aud
disappointed at being defeated when
they felt so sure they had everything
their own way, but it is no excuse for
them to bolt and endeavor to bring
out an Independent ticket.
Come back into line.
