The peaches, oranges and even the ba-

There were three varieties, Waldo,
Jewel and Kite, all in bloom, with
young peaches on. Most of these fell
off. They probably got chilled before
the men we're able to get up sufficient
heat from the fires, but the trees had
sufficient bloom unopened to set full
crop. The Waldos have a full crop On
now (May 10Y. The Jewels are too
young to bear, being only one year
old, but they have a few scattering
peaches. The Kites have dropped most
of their fruit.
The half shade seems to suit the
peach. These trees bloomed abundant

vigorous and luXuriant appearance and
have foliage at least one-third larger
than that which grows in the open. So
far the fruit growing unLer this half

curculio. Last year the same trees
were badly infested, and this year
nearly all the late peaches alongside
this shed are already stung.

How to Get Early Sweet Potatoes

The safest and surest way to obtain
early and vigorous sweet potato plants
is not to rely on volunteer plants
springing up in old fields, but to raise
them in a bed prepared for this pur-
pose. This may be done at any time
between the middle of January and
end Of February, by spading, on sun
ny plot, shallow basin about eight
to amount of plants desired; the sides
should be walled, from the bottom up,
with boards 10 or II inches wide, this
will prevent an early access of mOles
and facilitate the better sheltering
against cold. This done, spread three
or four inches of good barn manure
and cover same with a layer of sand,
soil, l should have said, say an inch
thick. Now select good sized potatoes,
split them in twain and, with the out
side downward, lay them as closely as
desired on the bed then, having COW
cred them with four or five inches of
soil, firm the bed we'll, with back of
spade or hoe. Use strips, lath or wire
to keep out fowls, and if frost threat
ems, cover tightly with glass or paper
and sacks or blankets.
When the plants are sufficiently
large to be planted, remove them by
placing one hand firmly on the soil
about the plant and with the other
loosen the same from the tuber.
To secure a better yield, allow the
plants or draws, as they are some
times called, to become of good length,
so that in setting them they can be
placed like slips or cuttings, i. e., both
ends upwards, even if the root-end
does not project out of the ground

Contractor G.. D. Bramholl has fin
ished twelve of the sixty new venti-
lated fruit cars he is building for the
Plant System. They are now on the
tracks at Sanford and are fine look
ing cars. They are all equipped with
air brakes and standard couplings.
This industry of car building is an i'm
portant one to Sanford, and gives en-
ployment to a great many men.
There has been no time since the
discovery of phosphate in Florida in
which the industry has been more
prosperous in Columbia county than at
present. New plants are constantly
being put in and the value Of land is
daily increasing. One pit recently
yielded over $4,000 tons, for which a
royalty of over $1,000 was paid to the
owner of the land.
Sunday afternoon George Graham,
one of the most promising young men

parent reason for his self destruction.
He was engaged to be married to a
charming young woman next month.
1t is reported upon what appears to
be good authority that w. N. Camp

it for a pasture for about two thou

heavy blow to the owners of stock in
the southern part of the county. as it
will debar them from the use of a
fine cattle range. 1t is said that Mr.

CUBANs STILL IN ARMS.
Insurgents Will Not Disband Until
They Receive Their Pay.

HAVANA, Jan. 2.-The continuance
OF the Cubans in arms is the most puz-
zling question connected with the ad-
niinistration of the island. The nego-
tiations for the payment of the soldiers
are to be conducted from Washington,
so as to relieve Major General Brooke
of this difficulty.
For the present the Cuban command
ers are holding their men closely to-
gether, and under discipline. General
Davis, Military Governor of the depart
ment of Pinar del Rio has gone into the
matter fully with General Mario Memo
cal and other Cuban commanders. They
say that they expect the United States
to pay, and that they will not disband
until they get an answer. The majority
of military observers here seem to
think that probably the easiest way out
is to make payment, taking mortgage
on the revenues Of Cuba in the form
of bonds. There are probably $4,000
men able to work, but now sponging
on their country. If paid off on condi-
tons that their arms be surrendered
they would have no excuse for not
working. The United States military
authorities do not look with favor upon
the notion of forcible disarmament.
General Brooke received to-day the
following dispatch from General Simon
Snyder, Military Governor of the de-
partment of Santa Clara:
Certain Cuban forces in the dis
trict of Cascala, the port of Trinidad,
have surrendered their arms"
There are twelve vessels in Havana
flarbor to-day being loaded, and the
customs entries for the first day figure
out about $4,000, the receipts in cash
being S15,522. This is at the rate Of
S13000,00O a year, the best Spanish
record having been S9,OOO,OOO To-day's
receipts are presumably heavier than
they will be later.

THE POK WAH TREE.
It Grows in Bushnell Park. and
Cinnamon Like Its Fruit.

There was an expression of supreme
contentment on the face of the China
man as he sat under tree in Bushnell
Park on Monday afternoon, picking up
fruit that had fallen from it. His
loose blouse and wide pantaloons
tapped in the wind, and his pigtail
described circles, triangles, all manner
of lines, and various other geometrical
forms as it yielded to the fitful gusts Of
wind. 1t was chilly enough, and officer
Strickland as he looked at the indus
trious Chinaman did not feel his heavy
blue overcoat a bit uncomfortable. But
the Chinaman did not seem to mind the
wind in the least His teeth might
chatter his nose might take on a blu
ish tint, and his fingers might suffer
from mum bness but he continued his
work with unremitting industry, and
kept his happy look unclouded by any
thing that was even suggestive of I'M
happiness. It was evident he was en-
gagged in a task that he liked. The
fruit had very offensive odor, and the
Chinaman handled it in a nauseating
manner. He had a fair-sized basket,
into which he threw the stones of the
fruit, leaving the soft substance viii h
covered it on the turf. His hands were
besmeared with the substance
In reply to the questions of Officer
Strickland and a Times reporter. the
Chinaman said the tree which yielded
the fruit was called the Pok Wah tree
in China. The fruit is considered del
icacy in the Celestial Kingdom, and
even Ii Hung Chang-the statesman
that can look wise and ask embarras-
sing questions of personal nature
considers himself in luck when his chef
serves him with a dish of the fruit
The outer substance, which is nauseat-
ing to the stomach of any one but a
Chinaman, is made into Chinese catsup
that always occupies a place of honor
at the mandarin's table when birds
nests, sharks fins and other appetizing
dishes are served. The meat of the
stones has a medicinal property of
high value. The Chinaman, whom the
officer called Charley" a name that
seems a favorite one in the nomencla-
ture of Cinnamon, stated that in China
the stones of the fruit are cooked just
as we cook chestnuts, and that after
they are boiled they are opened and
the meat taken out.
A woman passed through the park
later in the afternoon. Seeing the
Chinaman picking up the fruit she
was curious to see what 1t seemed like.
She took one Of the plums-if the sweet,
luscious fruit of the American orchard
is not degraded by applying its name
to the disgusting thing of Chinese line
age that resembles it-and broke it
open. The stencil from it was SO strong
that she dropped it Immediately. She
wore gloves, which she was obliged to
discard in order to free herself from
the offensive odor.
There are three of these trees in
Bushnell Park, but only one yields fruit.
Officer Strickland calls them the Chin
csc plum trees.-Hartford Times.
