Captain G. G. Davis, who is largely
interested in the muck lands of Citrus
county says that the proposed factory
for the manufacture OF fertilizer from
muck will be erected at Inverness just so
soon as the machinery, which is now or
dered, shall he ready. It is hoped that
this factory will open the way for others.

to five hundred head of cattle. But Can
a man with family and without money
come here and make living farming
answer, no. 1t is sin to advance such
an idea and to encourage such men to
come here. Give any poor man forty
acres of our best land and if he must
build and keep IN repair such fences as
the law requires and as willsbe necessary
to protect his crops from the wild cattle
and hogs around him, his family will
either starve or 60 to the poor house.
Our wise men in the legislature last
winter passed law by a vote of forty
one to seven that city of 5OOJinhabi-
tants may impound hog, but city OF
400 or settlement of 1000 inhabitants
throughout the country have no rights
that hog is bound to respect. He is at
liberty to roam at will, to steal and de-
stroy, and no man must modest him.
Brother farmers, that puts the hog above
us all. In all civilized countries a root
ing hog is outlawed. Jersey law says
you shall kill him if found trespassing
on your property. Florida law says
fence, fence, farmers, SO the hogs may
steal and destroy your crops. Is it good
law? 1t is certainly unjust A man
can't be honest and deny that. All law
is based on common law. Statute law
in conflict with common law is poor law.
Common law requires every man to take
care of his animals or pay the damage
they do. The fence law of Florida IS
unjust and unconstitutional.
In New jersey had neighbor who
had twenty pigs. They found my sweet
potato field and began their work of de
struction. tod my neighbor he must
pen them. He replied, 'I'll be darned
if do" l went into town and told q
lawyer my business, and told him l
didn't want to follow the statute law,
but wanted to arrest the man under
common law. He replied, ''That is just
what I would advise you to do" He
said, II will make out the papers and
have them served right away and in
about two hours you will hear from
him." Inside of two hours his uncle
had found me and asked what would
settle the matter between Sam and I. l
told him $1O He paid me and we went
and liberated Sam. He went home a
wiser man. He could pen his pigs after
that.
Now / want to know why is a man
obliged to follow statute law in Florida
and not in other States? And if the leg
lslature of one State can't make a law
to supercede common law how can any
State? Will some one answer?

will be Of he higher order of intelligence,
and will more readily appreciate the
benefits to be derived from a com bination
of forces
Speaking of this matter of combina-
tlons reminds us that the dealers-those
who handle the produce we ship-appear
never to have the least trouble In form
ing any kind of an organiza ton that will
rebound to their profit and interest.
When they see that a combine will help
them, they forthwith proceed to COM
bine, and they stay in the combination
until the object is effected.
For instance, we notice that the dealers
OF Boston-or, rather, some of them
have appreciated the advantages to be
derived from judicious handling of the
few oranges that will be offered in the
markets the coming winter. Of course
that portion of fruit shipped from Flor
ida will cut no figure, as the number of
boxes will be too small to count in the
island of Jamaica produces considerable
fruit, and it is among the best that is
imported to this country. These dealers
of Boston above referred to have formed
combine, and have cornered the orange
crop of Jamaica for the next three years.
Already preparations are being made to
market the crop of the coming season,
and large quantity of crate material
ard expert packers have been sent over,
many of the latter going from Florida,
in the employ of the Boston company.
The corner ON the Jamaica crop was
effected by lease. AS soon as it was
definitely known that the crop of Florida
would not materialize for several years
the Boston company was formed, repre-
sentatives sent to the island, and leases
of the largest and most productive groves
effected for a period of three years, at
which time it was thought the Florida
fruit would be in the market again.
The company will revolutionize the
packing and marketing system of the
island. Heretofore the method has been
very crude. The fruit In many cases
was pulled from the trees, in which case,
of course, all of it was plugged and it's
keeping qualities materially affected.
After the fruit was gathered in this way
it was carted or carried to shipping
points, unpacked, and dumped into bar
rels. The fruit, as before said, is very
nice, but of course was not given fair
show with this kind of treatment.
Properly picked and nicely packed, it is
posi- BILE that it may become dangerous
competitor to the Florida product. 1t is
certainly very superior to the California
or Mediterranean fruit, the chief objec-
ton to the Jamaica orange coming from
those who prefer an acid orange, as the
Jamaica fruit is very sweet.

County, Miss, Sensation.

Meridian, Miss, June 20-(Special) -

in pursuit of Hoy. The latter secreted
himself in a neighbours house, and when
the pursuing party appeared he seized
a gun and attempted to escape. He was

No Conveniences Causes the Open Air
Concert to Be Abandoned.
Last night 5000 people who had gath
cred in Capitol park to enjoy the open
air concert by Grambs' military band
were disappointed. The concert had
been advertised for o o'clock, but when
the band arrived neither lights nor seats
were arranged. The band marched to
one corner of the park to an electric
light and rather than disappoint those
present. began to play a selection. The
selection had hardly been started when
the electric light went out and left
everything in darkness. The band then
formed a line of march, marched down
town and very pleasantly serenaded
the Age-Herald. Mayor VanHoose tel
ephoned an apology, saying that he
thought the concert was to be next
Thursday night. Those who had gath
cred to enjoy the concert We're very
much disappointed, for an excellent
programme had been prepared for the
occasion.
The open air concerts are an innova-
ton and should be encouraged, mas
much as thousands have given their
approval, as manifested by their pres
ence. The seats and lights are all that
lis needed as Professor Grambs' band is
ready, willing and waiting to furnish
the music.
