The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-12-30

Slmmee, the object OF winch is 10 sec
that the laws concerning fish and
game in Osceola county are strictly
enforced and to secure legislation as
will best prevent the slaughter OF
game and fish in the county.
The citizens of Quincy and Gadsden
county are pushing the tobacco inter
est for all it is worth. They are do
ing what they can to stimulate an in
crease in the tobacco crop of that sec
ton. They are maintaining the fac
tories already established and offer
ing encouragement to others to To-
cate.
Florida has a monopoly of many
products of the soil-prOducts that
are produced in few other sections Of
the county. At present these prod
ucts are marketed in a crude state,
and it is the matter of devising ways
and means of converting them into
the finished and more valuable arti-
Gle that is now claiming our atten-
ton. The agitation is certain to re-
suit in much good, and we confdant-
ly expect the result to be the estab-
!shment of many manufacturing
plants in different sections of the
state.
j. A. Enslow, jr., who has just re-
turned from a trip through the state,
gives very encouraging report as tn
the orange crop this season. Mr.. En-
slow made an estimate of the crop
last year, and came near being cor
rect. The crop in the state last year
amounted to $4,000 boxes, and this
year, Mr.. Enslow is of the opinion, =
will amount to $4,000 boxes. The
crop is made up mainly from the
| Manatee river country, with Braiden
own as shipping center. Lee coun
~ is also contributing shipments
Shipments are being made from the
western part of the peninsula, with
| lakeland as a center. The lower
ake region is also making contribu-
ions as we'll as the eastern section OF

he outlook, as the trees all have a
healthy look and are putting out new
| growth, Mr. Enslow thinks that the
'rop next year will amount to 40OOOU

were owned by parties in this village.
Happy Coon won with McGinty a
close second. It, took five heats to
decide the 2:35 which was finally won
by o. d. Owens horse Tramp. The
2:27 race was exciting from start to
finish, Henry's Boy carried off the
honors in this. In the 1923 class Lady
West and Red Elm fought every heat,
and Lady West only won after five
heats had been trotted. Many were
disappointed in not seeing Nixon in
this race. In the 2:20 class the track
record was lowered from 2:21 to q:
2O15 and again to 2:1914. The last heat
in this race was put over, because of
darkness, to Friday morning. The
judges were G. H. Prouty, Geo. NJ.
Stevens, E. J. Tinker, f. @. Williams
and w. I. Robinson, whose decisions
were apparently satisfactory to all
parties.

Republican Campaign
Book by Eminent
Authors

LIFE OF HON. WILLIAM MCKINLEY. By
Murat Halstead. San Francisco Whitaker
& Ray Company publishers Sold only by sub
scription; cloth, 81 so; half morocco, 81.
This most recent "Life of William Mckinley
is a veritable Republican campaign book, and, +,
as such, is replete with facts and information
that should be in the possession OF every voter.
The author, Murat Hastead, has been assisted
in the preparation of this work by Mark
Hanna Hon. John Sherman, Governor Foraker
and others. In fact. the first chapter is from
the pen of John Sherman. who easily ranks as
one of the ablest statesmen on finance of the
century; while the introduction is from the
eloquent pen of Chauncey NJ. Depew. The
book describes in vivid style Mckinley s
brilliant career in the army, at the bar, in
Congress. in the Governors chair. 1t also tells
the whole story of the famous Mckinley bill.
1t tells how wise system of reciprocity ex-
tended our foreign commerce as never before,
and opened the markets OF the world to
American goods; and how Mckinley has con-
sistently adhered to the great Republican
principle of honest money, the same money
for the rich man and the poor, and every
dollar worth just as much as every other
dollar whether gold, silver or greenback. 1t
contains, also, that mastery argument for
protection by Hon. James G. Blaine
in his great literary duel with the Rt. Hon.
William Z. Gladstone No man OF his time
has been comparable with Mr.. Gladstone, the

THE MYSTERY OF HANDWRITING

This is handbook of graphology, "being
plain and practical guide to the art of inter
preting character from handwriting" by j.
Harrington Keene (Grapho). 1t is illustrated
with the autograph writing of famous per-
sons. In the Mystery of Handwriting" an
accomplished graphologist has undoubtedly
filed the requirement. Harrington Keene has
presented in clear, concise, practical form the
result of his long experience, and it is very
easy to follow his instructions aided by the
autograph illustrations of famous men and
women so abundantly furnished. Starting
with the assertion that handwriting is series
of mental gestures, he leads the reader with
out mystiication through the whole alphabet
of the graphological signs which experience
has taught are present as symptoms OF each
individual character. The work contains
fine collection OF fac-simile autographs of ceie-
brated persons, and arguments in support of
the science are abundantly sustained by an
appeal to the known characteristics of these
celebrities. Boston: Lee & Shepard, publish

DAIREEN; A NOVEL. BY Frank Frankfort
Moore. New York: r. f. Fenno 81 Co, pub
fishers.
An Irish love story with variations; but
story that holds the reader through to the end;
that is alive with action, and not lacking In
strong scenes, is the latest production OF Mr..
Moore 1t is readily discovered that the author
is no stranger TO the glens and the heather
clad mountains, the blue loughs and the harp
music of old Ireland as well as "the ocean
music which makes those who hear il ripe for
revolt" In fact Mr.. Moore exhibits flial
fondness for the land "whose life is the
memory of ancient deeds of nobleness"; the
Iand that has been SO prolific of heroes and
"whose inhabitants live in thousands in
squalor and look ou. from mud windows upon
the most glorious scenery in the world !"
Daireen Gerald, the heroine of the novel, is
the daughter of an officer in the British army
and member of an old Irish family. The Geralds
are neighbors of the Macnamaras, the head of
which family has boasted that the ancestors of
the Macnamaras were kings of Munster 'in the
DAYS when there were kings in Ireland, and
when the Geralds were walking about in blue
paint in the woods of the adjacent island of
Britain Thus, when. the elder Macnamara
finds that his son Standish loves the fair
Daireen, he takes occasion to teach the Geralds
how hereditary monarch is descending to
equalize himself with emigrants." The
Geralds refuse to entertain the thought OF mar
riage in the premises. Suddenly Daireen is
called away to her father in the Castaway
Islands. Standsh follows in disguise as a
sniphand. One night on the sea Daireen
hears cry from the waves and alarms the
watch. man is rescued from watery grave
This man. Oswin Markham, proved to be pos
sessed of power to destroy all the beauty of a
life that might have been intense with
beauty. Daireen loves him and greets
Standish then merely friend
Markham, however, has dark past,
which he strives vainly to bury He
wants to start life anew with Daireen, but fate
and his conscience are against it, and he tears
himself away from her.

GINETTE'S HAPPINESS. By "Gyp,' trans
lated by Ralph Derechef. New York: r. f.

In this, as in her other stories, Gyp deals
with some of the shortcomings of uppercrust
Partisan society. Ginette, a beauty, marries
young, not so much for loves sake as to escape
the pain of being long ION the market" and
because fair opportunity presents itself. She
has idea that marriage means happiness
Her wealthy husband, however, allows him
self every liberty, including that of being
jealous. Ginette doesn't find the happiness
she sought. Her. husband gets into politics
and employs young man named Chavoy to
manage his campaign for Office. Chavoy
waits upon Ginette much of the time during
the campaign. The husband is defeated,
and following that defeat society busies
itself with light talk concerning the
politicians spouse and Chavoy. The latter
tears himself away and departs for Algiers to
accept a new position. The parting between
.Ginette and Chavoy is painful. of course, and
the woman expresses herself quite indit-
ferent to society's opinions or convictions in
the matter. She only regrets that her happi-
ness was limited to the period of the cam
paign. Gyp is always snappy and bright;
never dull. A number of errors occur in the
book, due, it would seem, to haste and care
lessness on the part OF the printer.

OLD ENGLISH CATHEDRALS.

A CATHEDRAL PILGRIMAGE. BY Julia C
Dow. New York: The Macmillan Company
publishers. For sale by William Doxey; price
75c.
This little volume tells in pleasant chatty
way of some of the fine old cathedrals of Eng
land. AS the author says, to some natures
every stone of these vast edifices has a voice,
every aisle message. Destiny has forbidden
to many of these cathedral lovers the delight
of personal knowledge and intimacy. To bring
to them the very faintest echo of this voice,
this message, is the sole object OF this book.
The cathedrals visited in the pilgrimage in
clude those of Winchester, Ripon, Litchfeld
and Exeter.

uphold the great American policy of protec-

protection is alone worth the price of the
volume. Millions of Americans this year will
want to reread it, to refresh their minds with

the general prosperity OF the country are set
forth in these pages in the most direct and
lucid manner. Startling facts and figures OBJ

reciprocity and the appalling losses the
farmers, workingmen and all classes of Amerl-

by the present administrat ton. The book also
contains powerful and lucid explanation OF

This new edition of one of Alphonse Daudet's
works bears the imprint of the London house

a style and binding uniform with "Tartarin
of Tarascon" and "Tartarin in the Alps" The

ANOTHER SUIT.
TO INVALIDATE THE LEASE OF
THE N. c. P. r. TO THE
SOUTHERN RAILWAY
COMPANY

A dispatch from Raleigh says:
Another suit is instituted to in
validate the lease Of the North
Carolina Railway to the Southern
Railway for ninety-nine years.
This one is brought by Mr.. and
Mrs Peter Cobb, Of Guiliord
county, who are stockholders and
is to annul the lease, the conten-
ton being that even if the
North Carolina Railway Com
pany had the power to lease its
road it could only do 50 by the
unanimous vote of all it's stock
holders. The attorneys for the
Farmers State Alliance who Lad
instituted the other suit which
was to take away the charter Of
the road wanted to iuduc1 some
stakeholder to sue 70 test the
legality Of the lease and now
have had this second suit brought
