Violation of the Game Law.

There has been much complaint
during the past two years of VIOLA
tions of the game law, which VIOLA
tions, it is claimed, are largely re-
sponsible for the present scarcity of
game in many sections of the state.
The object Of the game law is to
prevent the determination of game
by providing for close period, which
is, of course, the breeding season, and
during which it is unlawful to kill Or
capture game. The law goes even
further than this, and in order to put
check to market hunting," it
makes it misdemeanor to ship out
of the county in which it is killed or
captured. The express companies, or
other carriers, are considered access
series if they accept the game for
transportation beyond the limits of
the county in which it is killed.
Notwithstanding this stringent law,
it is said that game is becoming very
scarce, on account of violations, and
Governor Bloxham has felt it his duty
to issue the following proclamation to
the sheriffs of the various counties of
the state:
Complaints having been made at
this office that the game and fishery
laws of the state are being constantly
violated, and the sheriffs of some of
the counties are neglecting their du-
ties in the premises, by failure to ar
rest and bring before the proper au-
thorities, the violators thereof.
Now, therefore, your attention is es-
pecially called to the duty imposed
upon you by the following laws of
this state, to wit: Sections 2,752 to
section 2,758, Revised Statutes, pages
874 to 851, as modified by the later
acts, chapters 4,2O8 to 1926 of 1898,
and chapters 1912 to 4,344 of 1895,
and to chapter 4,O49, acts of 1891, Re-
vised Statutes, page 991, as modified by
chapter 4,341, acts of 1895, pages los
to 10, and you are most earnestly
enjoined to due diligence in the en-
forcement thereof.

rapidly increasing sentiment in Flor
ida, especially in the southern section
of the state, for better roads good
roads, in fact.
1t seems strange, too, that south
Florida, which is only just recovering
from a financial loss of great magni-
tude, should be ready and willing, in
fact eager, to engage in an undertake
ing requiring the expenditure OF
large sums of money. But such ap-
pears to be the fact, and from nearly
every section of South Florida comes
reports of the organization of Good
Roads Associations, the improve
ments of county roads by the county
authorities, and notices of intention
to apply to the legislation for author
ity to issue bonds for road improve
ments.
This is a most encouraging sign,
and it indicates a spirit of progress
and enterprise that is commendable.
1t shows that our people are not the
kind to be discouraged at blow,
however hard. 1t shows that they
have perseverance and pluck, and
will achieve success eventually in
spite of the frigid frowns of the
weather clerk.
Good roads are indications of a
high development. They are essential
to the well-being and prosperity of a
community, and in the orange-pro-
ducing regions of the state they are
necessary to the profitable carrying
on of the business of orange culture.
An orange grove in full bearing will
yield a larger tonnage of produce per
acre than any other crop cultivated.
At least we have frequently heard
this statement from transportation
men, who are in positions to judge of
such matters. Aside from this, the
tonnage of fertilizing material re
quired for a bearing orange grove is
very heavy, and this item should not
oe overlooked in estimating the adj
vantages of good roads to orange
grove owners.
If the owner of an orange grove
yielding five thousand boxes of or
anges per annum, and who is COM
PEELED to draw his fruit mile or two
over our heavy, sandy roads to the
railway station, will figure little on
how much he would save per crop if
the roads were hard, we believe he
will readily conclude that he could af-
ford to be taxed for road improve
ment.
The good road movement in Florida
is yet an infant, but it seems healthy,
and we believe that by the time the
| orange groves are again in full bear
ing it will have grown to well-round-
ed proportions.
Our esteemed contemporary, the In
dian River Advocate, throws out some
excellent ideas in an editorial discuss
ing the good roads movement in Floi--
ida. 1t says:
''In most localities the road build
ing material is close at hand, or cas-
lily attainable, and the cost of build
ing the roads will be insignificant
compared with the benefits that will
result from their construction. AS

the freedom OF carriages and an eS-
cort, headed by Mr.. Cory, general
manager of the Owl Cigar company,
to make a personal inspection of
plantations and warehouses.
The first place visited was the Owl
Cigar factory and warehouse. Here
the delegates saw tobacco in it's vari-
Gus stages of manipulation, from the
pole-cured article to the completed
bales ready for shipment. The object
pages of printed or written matter,
and not one of the growers present
felt other than well paid for the
trip. What has seemed heretofore to
be complicated mystery is no
longer shrowded in darkness. Of
course, the Owl Cigar company has
it's own little secrets in manipulating
favorings, etc., but the general
method of handling and curing was
open to all.
After viewing the 1900 bales Of
prepared tobacco, the association
were invited to partake of a sample
of Gold Dust,' which they enjoyed
while being driven from farm to
farm, to note the preparations that
were going on for the coming crop.
AS the smoke curled from the burn
ing weed, there were many who i'm
agined they saw the wings of pros
perity fluttering towards them, and
we hope and believe that where prop
er selection of land is made, and judg-
ment used in growing the tobacco,
that it will prove true.
Among the many interesting things
in and about Quincy, is the "Fuller's
earth" mining plant, which is oper-
ated night and day, giving employ
ment to 1875 hands. Fuller's earth is
found there in veins of various thick
nesses, and in a pure state, so that it
can be dug, dried, ground, boiled and
bagged ready for market. AS far as
we know, it is the only plant of the
kind in the state, and the earth is
found nowhere else but in Florida in
the United States in a pure state.
There are other deposits than those at
Quincy, but it is due to the business
foresight and the push and go-ahead-
ativeness of the Owl Cigar company
that this business has been developed
to what it is, and while it is a good
thing for them, it is grand thing
for Florida and the people to whom
it furnishes labor.
We cannot be too loud in our praise
of the hospitable manner in which the
delegates were entertained. The i'm
promptu social at Mr.. Corry's was an
evening long to be remembered, es-
pecially Mrs. Corry's part of the en-
tertainment. Her recitations were
most admirably rendered. At the
close of "After the Battle,'' gray
haired veterans, who had borne the
blunt of war and seen the smoke of
battle, and had filled the ranks of prl-
vate, captain and general, could be
seen wiping away the tears as the
recitation brought back recollections
of the long ago.
1t seems unfair to single out any
one as doing more than another, for
each did his part and did it well, but

THE WHEELS OF HEALTH.

There is no better exercise for a young
woman in thoroughly good health than
bicycling. On the contrary, If she suffers
from weakness or disease Of the distinctly
feminine organs, if she rides, at all, such
exercise should be very sparingly INDUCED
in. Women are peculiarly constituted and
their general health is peculiarly dependent
upon the health of the specially feminine
organism.
It is the health of these delicate and i'm
portant parts that makes the wheels of
general health go round" Their strength
and vigor are as important to a woman as a
handspring to watch, or sprocket and
chain to bicycle. DR.. Pierce's Favorite

SHORT STOPS.
What the Peonle AVG SAVING.

What the People Are Saying.
The market house scheme excites
new interest as the people discuss the
matter pro and con.
1t is rumored that the anti-adminls-
tration councilmen will oppose the
proposition on the ground that it is an
administration measure.
III the opposition should include all
the aldermen who are now counted in
opposition to Mayor -Callaghan, the
proposition would be in a precarious.
condition, but the majority of the coun-
cilmen WILL no doubt, be in its favor
when they come to consult the opin-
ions of our business men and taXpay-
ers.
Mayor Callaghan would be entitled
to the credit of carrying through the
enterprise, but certainly not to origin
ating it. 1t was pet scheme of the
late Mayor Paschal, it was urged dur
ing ex-Mayor Elmendorf's term, but
nothing was done, but now it seems
that the market house will be built.
The anti Callaghan aldermen cannot
afford to make a fight on this question,
for in doing so they will antagonize a
large element of our best citizens.
From present appearance Mayor Cal
laghan has a majority of the council
inimical to him, but this is largely ow-

ing affairs. But these gentlemen would
not be so unwise as to block tue pub
lie interests in order to spite the mayor
The more this matter is discussed the
more favorably the people think of it,
1t will be money winner and will
soon pay back the capital invested.
Some of our business people begin to
shake their heads and speak Of bust
ness in disparaging terms. The city
government is an important factor in
our local prosperity.
The undertaking of a public enter
prise such as contemplated by the cree
ton of a central market, will do much
toward livening up things.
|
Our heavy burden of taxation needs
some relief in bringing into market our
business and residence property.
From a sanitary standpoint the cen
trail market house, under the control
and supervision of the city will com
mend itself to all rejecting people.
|
We have the sewers, the finest. most
complete and most effective in the
south. Now we want our meat and
vegetables taken off the dirt, put into a
clean, up-to-date market so that the
people may feel that they are not eat
ing disease.
Reverting again to the threatened
opposition in the city council, we sin,
cerely hope to see Aldermen johnson,
Surley and Hicks the first and fore
most advocates of the market house
enterprise. They should strive to share
the credit that will come to the city
administration from the contamination
of this important enterprise.
