Free Seed.

The management of the J. st. A. & I. r.
railroad has issued the following circular
1t speaks for itself and shows that rail-
road companies know that what is bad
for the farmer is bad for them. The
circular bears date of Dec. 31st and says:
From authentic reports it is found that
the fruit and vegetable crop of the en-
tire State has been seriously injured by
the extreme cold weather on the 2Sth
and Goth inst. The management of the
J. St. A. & |. r. Ry., in sympathy with
the growers, and realizing that the loss
both to the growers and to the railroad
company is very great, and that the
quickest recovery from this loss lies in a
new crop of yegeta bles, hence to partially
meet the contingency, this company will
undertake to furnish vegetable seed Ito
a reasonable extent) free to such of it's
patrons as may desire to avail themselves
of this offer, who will please furnish the
undersigned with information as to To-
cation, acreage, and kind of seed de-
sired.
1t is necessary that requests for seed
be sent in promptly in order that the
variety and quantity required may be
ordered without delay.

log part of the house and I again repeat
that there can be no objection to log
house when neatly finished and properly
constructed. The cost is so little as to
enable those with small incomes
to indulge in roomy residences.
Labor, taste and tact will give comfort
able and pretty homes, with a very
small expenditure in money in this fa-

lovingly to the broad caves. making the
home cheerful with bright flowers and
the air fragrant with their sweet per-

Almost without cost a home may be
made here which, for beauty and at

Editor Florida gricu1turist:
Ireceived your lastissue yesterday even

of your great calamity-the blizzard Of
Friday and Saturday last, and haste to
write you in hopes to give your readers
by best consultations at hand. | remem-
Der well my first experience in Lake
Helen in 1886, when we had similar eX
perience of cold wave, when golden ice
balls were seen on almost every orange
tree, though one month later when or
anges were almost the exclusive crop
and the privatiOn or loss was more COM
plete; but now it is not too late, for with
m UGH greater experience to raise corn
potatoes and other vegetables in album
dance for home sustenance and much to
spare, so you are not so completely non
plussed. In 1886 heavy wraps and
roaring fires were the only consolation for
several days, and all but the sky was
blue, and one question at least was set
tied to a demonstration, that we in mid
die Florida we're at least one degree
north Of frost line
The tourists were then coming in thick
and how to get rid of the one eyesore,
the once golden balls we were SO fond
and proud of, for now Il ey almost paved
the ground meath every tree, was the
question. So Mr.. H. A. DeLand had
trenches dug in the old Prevail grove,
between the large trees some two feet
deep and wide and filed up with the
icy fruit and covered over with the top
soil, and about spring time, which, by
the way,is rather an indefinite period in
out fresh leaves, and at 16 years assumed
their bridal appearance. Now for the
result. In three years thereafter, having
the run of the grove during all that time,
was the most prolific grove for miles
around. | got side branch from one
tree holding 13 large oranges which was
exhibited in large jewellers window
in Pittsburg which drew crowds, hay
ing been packed in l2-inch square box.
Mr.. DeLand also secured one branch
with, think, 1913 on which was shipped
to New York, which exactly filed a
-four barrel.
Now if Mr.. H. merely thought it the
best way of getting rid of the frost-bite or
as help to the trees l don't know but
here is my consolation:
In this case Mr. H. merely put into
the ground what nature put into the
best oranges, some bitter some sweet,
some bitter SWEET in concentrated form,
not from artificial fertilizers, for they
had had none until later, for the lab
oratories of man could not evolve such
perfect formula for such purpose; for
here in nature is concentrated all the in
gradients to an atom which is the out

1t is Thought the Trial VIII be Ready
to Go Ahead Monday.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. S.-When the
Durrant trial was resumed this morning,
the defendant swore to pile of atfidavits.
Then Attorney Dickinson for the de-
fendant, Durrant, asked the court to issue
citations for the editors and city editors
of the Chronicle and Examiner, and for
j. p. Burrett. an Examiner reporter.
Judge Murphy agreed to their citation
for contempt Of court, in interviewing
and publishing the interviews with
Jurors Brown and Nathan.
Attorney Dickinson said he would like
further time to prepare affidavits, asking
that citations for the editors of other
papers who had also violated the judicial
order IL talking OF the case to the Jurors.
Nothing was said Of tho Jurors for an

TO make tic personal explanation which
he SAID yesterday he was prepared to
make regarding himself when the court
would not hear him.

even under the guise OF the ordinary
course of business, can be conducted.
Treasury officials are emphatic in their
statements that this Is due to legitimate
business, and point to the character of
the Withdrawals to prove their state
ments. Whatever may be the cause, the
loss is felt, and will be felt to a sIIll
greater extent before the week is ended.
There was an intimation at the depart
ment that notice would be given of
Withdrawals on Saturday. At the close
Of business this evening the reserve stood

not been reported to the treasury in the
official balance from New York, and will

Tomorrow. The actual condition finds
The reserve amounting to only Sl03, lis, ,662.
This shows d loss OF 81 $4,000 since the
syndicate made its payment, July 9th,
and sent the reserve up to SlOl, 800, POS.
The gol0 reserve was not nearly SO low as
on the 9th of July, when the syndicate
felt called upon to increase it.
Some Treasury officials who discuss the
situation privately admit that unless the
syndicate fills the gap that has thus been
made the public will be warranted in be-
lieving that the syndicate considers its
contract completed, and that it is no longer
morally bound, if not by the disputed
meaning of the text OF the contract, to
maintain the reserve.

A Sheriff Who VIII Not Be Dictated
TO by Mayor DeimarGe.
PRINCETON Ull), Aug. S.-The peace
entered upon last evening at Spring VAL
ley has been broken. and the town is
under mob law to-day. The whistles of
the coal shafts sounded last night for u
resumption of work, but this morning
mobs of Italians refused to allow the
company to operate its plant or the ne
groes to re-enter the city, although this
was agreed to last night. The main busi-
ness streets were thronged with mobs,
and trouble threatened.
Mayor Martin Islniarge has telephoned
to the Sheriff 10 send over thirty VIM
chester rifles from the arsenal at the
Courthouse.
Sheriff Clark replied: 81 consider you
. coward, and that if | should send the
rifles l might nave to face the same guns
with men L may be compelled TO BRING
over. You will not get single rifle from
me unless my men from here go with
them. Further, ii you don't lake some
action for the protection of life and prop
erty, may go over and take possession OF
the city myself"
The Sherifi announced the contents of
the message in Princeton, aud it created a
high degree of salts lsfactiOn. Sheriff Clark
then sent word TO the Mayor asking him
If he was wanted with deputies. but the
Mayor replied: mo, we don't want YOU"
AT 5 O'Clock this morning Mayor Del
marge of Spring Valley, anticipating
trouble from the mobs, sent around TO the
homes OF business men and others OF the
Town, and aroused them from sleep, sum-
monlng them to appear at the City han

lion OF the city. at the meeting fifty
men were sworn in as special police. 1t
