RAILROAD NOTES.

In discussing the relative merits Of
English and American engines General
Superintendent Van Etten of the New
York Central, said in a recent inter-
view: II don't think there can be any
doubt that our engines are superior
to theirs. Their engines are built for
speed. They are racing machines.
They suggest that to your mind when
you look at them. Our engines are built
to combine great strength with speed.
We can take twice or three times the
load Of their engines and yank It up a
hill more quickly than they can pull
1t along level. They couldn't carry
our heaviest trains at speed at all.
The conditions under which the Eng
lish roads run are favorable to great
speed. Ours are not. They have
no grade crossings. Nobody but
railroad man can realize what that
means. They have almost level roads
while we have many steep grades, and
their roads are almost straight, while
ours are crooked. But. as I said be-
fore, the greatest difference Is In the
tonnage. With all these things against
us. we can make as good time as they
do, and. on occasion, better. That
demonstrates the superiority Of Amer
lean engines. On this run of the En-
pire state, when forty minutes were
made up. a speed Of 102 miles was at
tained. Mile after mile was reeled
off at rates ranging from 80 to 100
miles an hour. The tail end of the run
was through the city Of Buffalo. where
the speed had to come down tremend-
ously. The schedule time of the train
will show the necessary difference. The
eighty miles between Syracuse and
Rochester are scheduled to be run in
II. L.
miles between Rochester and Buffalo
are scheduled for exactly the same
time"
Owing to the low water in the
Schuylkill river the Reading railroad
has shut down It's lBeechwood colliery
near POttsville, and unless abundant
rain comes soon 1t Is probable that
several others will be closed also.

TOBACCO.

There is a total of about 10
acres of tobacco in Marion county
this year. Small as this seems,
with proper attention and cultiva-
ton it will make a large yield,
ranging all the way from 50 to
5000 pounds to the acre, and from
5 cents to $3.50 per pound after
being properly cured.
Being only small acreage to
any one farmer, the tendency is to
better cultivation and consequent
ly better yield. The tobacco in
dustry in this section is rapidly on
the increase, and will undoubtedly
be one of the leading industries in
a few years, possibly taking the
place of the vanished orange in
dustry, giving better returns for
the money invested than that un-
certain crop.
Ocala, being the manufacturing
center of central Florida, will nat
urally offer great inducements to
the growers to plant our fertile
hammock lands to this profitable
rop.
No section of the state has the
:, VANTAGE that our immediate vi
nifty has in the rich hammock
nds, we'll adapted to the growing
OF tobacco.
Select good fresh seeds from the
best imported varieties; prepare
the ground thoroughly, and above
all, only plant as much as you are
sure of being able to cultivate
thoroughly, and you will find it a
good money crop.

Communicated.
The picnic at Bullocks Park on
North Lake Weir on July 4th was
a grand success. There were
about $50 in attendance composed
mostly of the Christian Endeavor
Societies of Belleview, Gambler,
Weirsdale and Lady Lake.
The speakers of the occasion
were Mr.. Lou Green, of Ocala,
Mr.. Gale, of Weirsdale, and Mr..
N. N. Campbell, of Lake Weir, all
of whom made excellent addresses
upon the subject "Good citizen

The Lady Lake band furnished
fine music and added greatly to the
pleasure and interest of the day.
The band is composed cf the fol-

Ara safe estimate there will be
a crop of 1000, 1000 pounds of cot
ton in Marion county this year,
which would be increased many
folds if a living price is assured.
Why should we pay a double,
exhorbitant freight charge on
every piece of cotton cloth we use,
when it could be made cheaper
here and build up new industry.

SOCIETY, A CORRUPTION.

Mrs. A. D. T. whitney in Ladies' Home

corruption. A professional society
woman is parasite upon the worlds
heart growth; helping, as microbe
of disease, to eat out its vitality.
There is terrible reaction in the
influence of what we make society to
be, without its true heart and centre.
1t is to blame for the many confused
problems of our time; it is respon-
sible for the frantic turning of the
world upside down. Conventional
tiles, false ef ort and restrict on crowd
in upon and choke out our most
beautiful and sacred realities. True
homes become more and more scarce.
Society women abandon them; they
make of them mere arrival and de-
parture stations, in the rush Of a
VIII Ring round. Women who cannot
or who will not maintain the modern
artificial condit ons, are discouraged
and repelled from any home making
at all. They are forced, through the
very need of their natures, to outside
work and interest for Fellowship;
and 80 there Is great deal attemp-
ted, from strong desire for the best,
that is yet, in its turn, untrue, one
sided; adding fresh arrangement
to our perplexed system and theo-
ries-our transitional social and
political economies.
