Mate of Vessel Near Boat Land
ing Uses Revolver.
Shortly before 9 o'clock Saturday
night couple of the boat boys ran
up to the police station and reported
that they had been fired at with a
revolver in the hands of the mate of a
bark at one of the wharves near the
landing. Captain Hookano was sent
down to investigate but could find out
nothing definite. Shots had been fired
but in ways uncertain as to the direc-
ton from whence they came The
story told by one of the native boat
bows Sunday was about as follows:
AT about S:30 o'clock the mate in
question came to the landing in a
somewhat inehriated condition. He
made things lively for little and end
ed mp by striking Kaulana. popularity
known as Shark.
TO appease matters somewhat he
asked four of Us to go up and take a
drink with him at one of the saloons
We followed and upon arriving in the
appointed place, the mate slid. out the
back door. We ran after and followed
him to the vessel. There We lost sight
OF him and started over TO the landing
to turn in Just as We got about half
way. three shots were fired at US from
revolver and before we got to the
landing two more were fired. As near
as we could make out they came from
on board the vessel. Nothing was
done as it. would have been impossi-
bic to prove anything"

Wealth in Horticulture.

We farmers should work those fields

find that nature has bestowed her
richest blessings in a particular line,
we should eXpen1 our enterprise and
energy in that direction. Nature is
grand ally, but an obstinate and invet-
crate foe 1t is conservative t. say

might mention the experience of a
young man who is a member of this
society, who sold his first crop of peach
es in New York for 81 per bushel,
their large size and superior quality
bringing that fine price on full mar

paid for the mountain land bought for
his orchard and for all expenses. A
farmer this year received $1,000 for
the apples from 125 comparatively
young trees; one of the vice-presi-
dents of this society declined $4,000
for the apples on about LOO trees;
another vice president refused $4,000
for the apples on 1000 trees. The last
named orchard will pay something
like $500 profit per acre. I measured

An Old Sugar Mill.

A reporter, in his rambles, passed
the Ocala Foundry and Machine shop
the other day, and seeing two i'm
mense sugar kettles on broad tread

chinery lying around, began to make

the Marshall Swamp cane brakes, and
that, after being repaired, the machin-
cry was to be set up at the Meadows,
near Citra, where Superintendent j.
w. Paine, with it, would grind the
first growth of what, in time, is to be-
come an immense cane and sugar
plantation.
But, as we remarked, the sight of
those kettles brought wildly to our
mind the ''late npleasantness," and
the part they played in it's history.
The mill was established in 1858 by
Col. M. L. Marshall, of South Caro-
lima, father of our esteemed citizen,
Judge Samuel F. Marshall, and who,
as the gallant commander of the First
South Carolina Regiment, lost his life.
The clearing of lands for cane con-
tinued from year to year until Febru-
airy, 1864, when a detachment of
United States soldiers from ST. Au-
gustine evaded the vigilance of Gener-
al J. j. Dickson, the "Gray Fox of
Floridas Swamps," stole upon the
sugar works, fired upon and drove off
those in charge, set fire to the build
ings and machinery and left them a
rocking, smoking mass of charred
ruins. Milton O'Dell was in charge
of the works from the day it started
until driven off by the Federal sol
diers, and it was only by the faithful
and devoted service and heroic resist
ance Of one who is known to almost
every person in Ocala, 'Chrissie" Da-
Wis, wife Of Albert Davis, that O'DelTs
life was saved, for she it was who dis
covered the coming of the invading
enemy, resisted the ingress into the
dining-room of the Overseer's house
by shutting and boiling the door, in
this way giving Mr.. O'Dell time tC
make his escape, but only by fleeing
into the swamp with a shower of bull
let's seeking a vulnerable spot in his
body, but he luckily escaped, to make
a good and honored citizen of Oxford
where he died a few years ago.
'Aunt Chrissie'' Davis, who was
then Chrissie Campbell, with her
mother, "Aunt Fanny Campbell, kept
house, did Mr.. O'Dell's cooking, was
made prisoner, taken to ST. Angus
tine, where she remained several
years before returning to Ocala.
That some idea may Ibe formed Of
the output of the Marshall sugar
plantation, it employed 200 hands, the
sugar plant operated eight kettles, in
size from 80 to 900 gallons, and which
made daily, as long as the cane lasted
five immense hogsheads of what was
known in those days as "drip sugar.
Besides sugar cane, immense guam
til ties of rice and corn were also
grown. The fertility of this land was
wonderful and it was known to pro
duce twelve crops of cane from one
planting, by rattooning.
Those who were familiar with the
plant said it was very profitable and
the product found ready market in
Charleston, S. c., to which trading
point all the output was sent by water
transportation.

The Cassava Interest.


Editor Florida Agriculturist:
In your paper OF the 24th see an
article or so on the cassava question.
I should feel encouraged, with better
prospects, of this remarkable product
coming to the front, and to stay, if it
were not for the low prices offered at
the factory.
Now [ have had more than twenty
five years experience in producing and
using this root, and [ am convinced
that for food purposes, no other root
can equal it in value. Nor for starch
purposes can it be excelled if equalled.
I am also convinced of another thing,
that all persons who read such as
sertions, about ca ssava, do not believe
it, but the incredibility of those who
do not, may be easily accounted for,
and does not alter the fact one whit.
Let me tell the man who sells it at
$3.50 per ton, that I would prefer to
be the proprietor of the factory rather
than the producer. If cassava roots
are not worth as much as sweet pota-
toes, it is not worth the digging and
hauling to the factory; and sweet po-
tatoes are worth one cent per pound,
or SO cents per bushel, which would
cassava is certainly worth as much.
I never have sold a bushel of it's roots
for less than so cents in the market,
nor at home.
With my experience, if I lived in a
stones throw of factory, I should
offer no encouragement at $50 per
ton, but should turn my roots into
pork, lard, milk, butter, chickens,
eggs, buildings, fritters, starch and
tapioca.
I have sold great many of the
canes for seed, and at one cent per
cane; they being six to eight inches
in length, but if I should plant a
patch this winter I doubt if [ could
sell any, no matter what the price
might be.
The seed should be taken down inn
mediately, and planted at once. This
cannot be done too soon, but it can be
put under grass covers, with a few
inches of dirt over the grass, and kept
on to the first of March, if not under
shelter. It needs some moisture to
save drying out, and though it may
sprout lively in the bank, as the eyes
are numerous, some will remain to
grow, on planting, but it is best,
much best, to plant when fresh; plant
soon after taking down.
If you lived in the sand hills of east
ern Polk county, you would risk 1eav-
ing it in the patch or cave either un>
til spring; for eight consecutive years,
the stalks stood the winter on my
place, and matured the seeds in the
seed pods, never going down, until
that old lamented blue blizzard paid
us all visit, and treated us so coolly,
that none of us have ever invited him
to come again. Uncle Wash.
