Tampa Times: S. NJ. Tuten of Jasper
is in Jail awaiting an examination as
to his sanity. He came down here last
week to attend the Adventsts camp
! meeting. He has been camping with them
| and attending the meetings, but a few
days ago he began TO disturb the meet
| ings by talking, and finally became VIC
| lent destroying benches, etc. At times
he is very quiet and rational but soon
breaks out into violent rawlings on relig-
ion. He was arrested by the guards on
She camp ground Monday night and
taken to tho De Soto hotel for the
night. Yesterday he was confined in
jail until he could be examined. An in
QUESTION will be issued as soon as Judge
Phillips returns. Mr. Tuten is said to be
well connected and a member of a fine
family at Jasper.
There are now thirty-two large phos-
phate mines in the western portion of
] A H. II
/ employing a full corps of hands. This
| portion Of Alachua county, it is said, has
| developed more rapidly during the last
| two or three years than any other part
of Florida The railroad recently con-
structed through that section not only
| furnishes transportation for the extern
sive phosphate mining business, but for
/ the farm products also. Heretofore the
| farmers had raised nothing but corn and
! cotton, but now, with the facilities for
/ shipping their productions, they are en-
/ abled to compete with other sections in
/ getting early vegetables to the northern
markets. Consequently vegetable farm
/ ing Is being engaged in quite extensively
| The Florida Southern railroad brings
/ daily to Gainesville on an average of
/ forty cars of oranges per day. The fruit
1 is thrown loose into well ventilated cars
/ thus saving the shippers the expense of
/ boxing their fruit in order to get it to a
! point where it is properly packed, wrapped
/ and prepared for the northern markets
Orlando Reporters On one of the prn-
| cipal streets Monday afternoon four men
/ stood conyersing, when suddenly a well
I dressed, genteel appearing lady stepped
up to the quartette, ripped open a bundle
/ she carried in her hand, disclosing a cow
/ hide With an earnest and imperious air
! she requested or rather commanded, one
! of the gentlemen, whom she seemed to
know, to accompany her down the street.
He seemed to be aware of the fact that
! she had serious designs upon some one,
and Immediately began to dissuade her
| from her purpose, but she would not listen
| to his advice and interjected that she
had purchased the cowhide for purpose,
/ and he must witness that it had been
| faithfully carried out He finally saw that
! there was no way out of 1t, so he reluct-
antly accompanied her several blocks
| west and as he stopped at a gate, she
| went in tried the front door which would
| not open, then she turned to the man
| at the gate and said, 'he has locked
| the door, I'll so round the back way"
/ This she did, opening the front door, and
her witness entered. From the loud talk
and commotion evident on the inside of
/ that cottage il is safe to say that some
/ man was convinced that hell knows no
! fury like a woman scorned."
4 Jacksonville Times-Un The an
/ nouncement that the trustees Of the St.
/ make a final report Of the receipts from
the sale of the bonds, and the expenditure
of the money for deep water. makes
apropos a review of the work and an ex-
. animation to see if the returns are worth
I the cost. The history of the work is in
few words as follows: Three years ago
. the people voted to bond Duval county for
100000. The bonds were sold at a pre-
MUM. The trustees secured is feet of
water in the river from Jacksonville to
. the sea inside of the estimate and have
money left. The opponents Of the bonds
declared that the shipping from the port
of Jacksonville would not be materially
. increased. When il was argued that the
workmen Of the city would be amply re-
paid by the extra work in loading and UNI
loading vessels, they laughed at the idea
and said il was a bait to catch votes The
carpers even now declare that the money
did no good. The question is: HAS deep
water benefited jacksonville" 1t has.
The Clydes are paying out 81 400 per
week for loading and unloading their yes
sells, while they only paid out $500 before
The reason is that the deeper water has
