facts are quite the reverse. Up to
few days ago exhibits in the State
Buildings were not even open to awards
Had the ORIGINAL rule not been changed,
the counties spending SO much money
in buying space, fitting up and paying
for attendance at the State Building,
would find that their products were not
open to competition. 1t has been nee
essarv to take fruit to the Horticultural
Hall for one day t. be judged, and then
taken to the State Building to be sold.
The State Building is neither planned
nor lit for an effective display of the re-
sources of Florida.
1t is extremely unpleasant for me to be
compelled to enter into details of this
disagreeable nature, especially as "The
South" the paper I represent has al
ways taken broad and practical view
of such subjects.
[ trust the foregoing official letters
will set at rest the question as to who is
recognized by the executive heads Of the
Columbian Exposition, as being in charge
of whatsoever horticultural display the
State of Florida may have or make at
the Worlds Exposition. And [ would
state that exhibits directed to the Hor-
ticultural space, Columbian Exposition,
in my care will be properly displayed.

Seems 20 me tree is to some extent

We feed and q tree feeds ON certain ele-

man or tree has got to eat more of one
thing than it needs. IF q man works
phys cally he needs more Of certain ele-

Alfalfa Seed.
The Ocala Banner says:

The Ocala Banner says
We are indebted to Mr.. Edward Jay
Allen, of Pittsbufg, Pa, for package Of
alfalfa seed. He says: There is no ap-
parent reason why it will not succeed In
making the sandy wastes of Florida good
pasture lands. 1t makes a tremendous
cop three times per annum in lands
more arid than yours. What q boom
the possibilities of pasture would be to
Florida is beyond words. Once get your
little crop well ''set" and its roots will
80 down thirty Or forty feet for moisture.
Mayor Geo. W. Lyons tried little of
this seed number of years ago and says
if the farmer and stock men Of Florida
will only experiment properly with it
there is world of wealth in it fol the
people of the State, Those who desire
the seed can have same by calling at
the Banner Office.
DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING AND GROWING
ALFALFA.
In planting it should be treated much
like red clover. 1t should be sown
broadcast, in good soil, plowed and
thoroughly pulyerized and leveled. The
thicker it is soWn the better. Not less
than ten pounds per acre, many persons
use twenty pounds per acre. 1t should
be aown early enough in the rainy sea-
son to give it time to develop depth of
root before the dry season begins. The
roots will reach depth Of twenty feet
or more if nece ssary to reach continual
moisture. The seed should be very
lightly covered by brushing, or with
light harrow, and then rolled with a
light roller. Ii the sun is very hot or
the ground inclined to dry out very
quickly it would be we'll to plant it with
a light crop of barley enough to shade
the alfalfa. When quite young it is
easily injured by frost. After it forms
four leaves it is quite hardy and will
stand severe cold. Don't expect much |
the first season, but after that it will pro-
duce three good crops annually. 1t |
should be cut when it begins to bloom,
and handled only when damp from dew |
or fog, otherwise the foliage will break |
off and be lost. Put into small cocks as |
soon after cutting as it is well wilted and |
let it season in the cocks.

dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that
is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the

disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly on the blood

by destroying the foundation Of the

by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing it's work. The

A HANGING DELAYED.
Spartanburg' Celebrated Case Before
the State Supreme Court.

Columbia, $. c., May 26.-George s.
Turner, the celebrated Spartanburg mur-
derer, whose case has been before the
courts several years, and who was to be
hanged next week gets another lease on
life. The supreme court to-day issued an
order staying sentence pending the appeal
and allowing the counsel for the defense
to make a motion on June 81 for leave to
move before the circuit court for new
trial on aftcr-discovercd evidence. This
case Is one of the most noted murder cases
in the history of the state. Turner was
convicted by Spartanburg jury for kill
ing his brother-in-law, Edward Finger
IN 1890 and an appeal was taken by his at
torneys TO the supreme court, where the
Judgment of the lower court was con-
frmed. 1t was then sent back to the cir
cult court so that new day might be as
signed for the execution of the sentence
motion was then made before the cir
cult judge for new trial on the ground Of
ncwly-disCovored evidence. The circuit
Judge refused TO entertain the motion,
holding that he did not have the power to
hear and decide IA motion, for q new trial
on newly-discovered evidence. After the
remitter had gone down from this de-
cision of the circuit Judge the defendant
appealed TO the supreme court.

Fostoria, o., May 0-Ex-Secretary
Of the Treasury Charles Foster startled
the business world this morning by
making an assignment Of his vast bust
ness interests for the benefit Of his
creditors. His assignee is j. b Gormlee,
a prominent banker of Bucyrus and
warm friend of Mr.. Fosters. The
liabilities are given out by Mr. Foster as
being S600,000, and the assets are about
the same. He made the assignment
during the night, and the papers were
filed at Titiin by his attorney.
At an early hour this morning the bank
of Foster Il Co. was closed on an attach
mcnt for $1,000 in favor of the Isaac
Hartcr Milling Company, and at the same
time the wholesale grocery house of Davis
* Foster was closed by An attachment
for 81 200 in favor of O. r. Brown. The
presence of the sheriff was the first inhling

New York, May 26.-Society honored
the Infanta Eulalie with ball tonight,
which, for grandeur, impressiveness and
elegance, has not been eXcelled by any
similar function held in the metropolis
The social success of the affair
was due to the participation of people
of the most exclusive circles The
princess was thus the recipient of the
highest civic and social honors which
could be bestowed by the greatest city on
the continent that Columbus discovered
The Circulo Colon Carvants was lost
and the affair was given under the
auspices of their eXcellencies the
ministers Of Spain, Mexico, Peru
and Brazil. Mayor Gilroy and Mrs. Gil
rov. representing the city, were guests.
The assembly rooms and concert hall Of
the Madison Square garden had been
transformed into a draamland Of beauty
by masses Of flowers, plants and ever
greens in honor of the occasion. A dc
tail of blue jackets from the Spanish
man-of-war Infanta Isabella oacted as

LEGISLATORS IN A ROW.
They May Settle Their Differences on
the Field of Honor.

Frankfort, KY, May 24.-Thoro is dan
ger of a meeting between two members
of the House of Representatives as n re
suit of the most exciting scene in the
history Of that body. The House had
under consideration what is known as
the Autt strike law, the object of which
is to prevent the unlawful practice Of in
terfering with traffic and transportation.
Representative Kremer of Louisville
favored the measure, Mr.. Bolts of
Shelby opposed the bill. During his re-
marks he referred to him as potter's clay
in the hands Of corporations.
Mr.. Kremer sprang to his feet and
likened Mr. Bolts to Judas Iscariot. He
paced across the aisle, branded him as a
liar, scoundrel and applied other epithets
Mr.. Bolts made a move toward Kremer
but friends prevented them from clinch-
ing. Mr.. Krcmer rushed out of the hall
and returned soon with a revolver.
Friends overpowered him and kept him
in the House cloak room until he cooled
off.

Up All Hopes of Getting a Place
Under the Government.
Washington, May 26.-The President
appointed Samuel Caldwell Dunlap OF
Gainesville marshal Of the Northern dis
trict to-day. This is the outcome of the
bitter fight between Col Renfroe aud
Col. Dismukc. One month ago Col Dun
lap was in Washington and had practi-
cally no show, and now he is in the saddle.
He is young man, and, as was stated in
these dispatches a few days ago, was
without influence except what he was
able to pick up here and there. His con-
gressman, Carter Tate, was interested
in him, but beyond this his opportunity
seemed to be very slim. The Presi-
dent to-day notified Messrs Livingston,
MattOx and Tate to call upon him, adding
that he had selected the man for the
place, but did not intimate to them who
the fortunate candidate was. Mr.. Dun
laps appointment was not made public
until after the meridian hour. Singular
to say that Dunlap and his best friend,
Howard Thompson, had left last night for
Georgia somewhat disheartened Mr..
Dunlap has held the position of United
States commissioner for the Gainesville
district for some years and is thoroughly
familiar with what is known as ''the
moonshine district Of North Georgia.
He is man Of ideas and backbone and
will conduct the Office in good shape.
PRINTUP GIVES Up.
Capt. j. ]. Priutup of Rome, who has
been applying for a position in the army
service as paymaster and who was turned
down, and who subsequently applied TO
the department Of the interior for the
Office of chief clerk, will leave for his
home tonight He has about given mp all
hope of securing position under the gov
ernment and will devote his time here
after to banking and real estate business
in Rome.
Charles Hin failed to see the
President to-day in the inter-
est Of Amos Fox, one of
the candidates for postmaster at
Atlanta, owing TO the fact that to-day was
cabinet season but he will make his visit
tomorrow. He Is very much interested
in the success of MIR. Fox, and, no doubt,
sledge hammer arguments in favor of his
particular friend.
The failure of ex-Secretary Of the
Treasury Fosters private bank at Fosto-
