Editor Morning News: agree with our
aldermen that South Broad street" is nc
fit name for that beautiful avenue. Neither
are East Broad and West Broad suitable
names for those important thoroughfares.
Already we have, it seems, an Oglethorpe
avenue, and in growing town like we are,
street shouldn't be sneezed at just be-
cause it happens to be little too near
White Bluff or Thunderbolt. In few dec
AIDES 1t may be in the heart of the city,
and the leading fashionable boulevard.
May make new suggestion to the city
council?
Why not name the three streets above
mentioned after our three sister states,
with which we are most closely connected.
geographically, socially and commercially
Call South Broad street Carolina
street," call East Broad street FLORIDA
street." call West Broad street Alabama
street"
There seems something peculiarly pleas
ant in a city's thus complimenting neigh
boring states.
OF course, they can call the name Caro-
lima avenue" If that is preferred.

TIE Growing of Fine Grades Prom
Uses to Be Successful.

TIE Growing of Fine Grades Prom
ises to Be Successful.
Tampa, Fla, March 2S-About forty of
Tampa's most progressive and important
cigar manufacturers left here last night
on an excursion to the famous tobacco
plantations of the Cuban colony at Fort
Meade. They will spend the Sabbath in
inspecting the model farm, which has re-
Gently given the company operating it
about $4,000, for two experimental crops.
The manufacturers who went were Span
iards, Cubans and Americans and this con-
certed movement on their part is signifi-
cent of the fact that they have confidence
in the Florida grown Cuban leaf.
The vegetable crop on the Manatee river
is something phenomenal this season, and
the steamers plying between this city and
points on that river are heavily loaded
on every return trip. One of the steamers
is considering the advisability of employ
ing an extra set of hands and crew so that
they can make a night run also. The pre-
sent service is becoming entirely made
quate for the amount of truck produce
raised in that section. There are two COM
modious steamers running to these points
every day and each steamer brings up
from three to five carloads of vegetables
every evening.
The cabbages that are being shipped are
netting the producer nothing, but the po-
tatoes are bringing $3.50 per barrel, the to-
matoes which are just coming on about
$3.50 a crate and the celery from $3.50 to
$3.50 per crate. In all there has been about
5000 crates of vegetables shipped from
that section already this season, all OF
which have brought excellent prices.
