can't be accused Of looking after his

Wheeling, Mansfield, Fort Wayne and
New Castle two each, and Toledo, Qike

OF course, are counted upon as the

to date we have shlpP"' nfty-nVs cars VI

l4o cars OF peaches, besides perhaps sew
enty live 10 100 cars BY express, on WHICH
b4ncy prices nave been resHzeo' ~
matoes pay from $3.50 70 $500 per acre. de-
pending on date OF ripening ana quality
OF lana planted, also on the skill and care
taken in planting and cultivation.
AS an example OF the amount realized
per acre on peaches allow me to give that
of a man who received $500 for ten acres
Of peaches in the orchard. The amount
per acre in general depends entirely ON
the varieties planted and care bestowed
on them while growing.
The planter need not lose the use of hls
land al all until peaches are bearing. as
cultivation helps the young trees
Our crops here ripen about ten days or
two weeks earlier than those OF Georgia
and three weeks 10 thirty days earlier
than those OF Arkansas and Tennessee.
Land can be purchased at from $40 to
S2b per acre near enough 10 handle the
crop from this place (Jacksonville). The
land Is mostly hillside land. adapted spe-
cially to the growth OF strawberries, black
berries, pums, pears and early varieties
of apples.
The peaches. berries and tomatoes
shipped from this point are pronounced
In all the markets as being superior in
favor 10 any grown in the United States
and in size and development they are
classed as strictly fancy.
When the Texas and New orleans rail-
way Is completed as surveyed through
Jacksonville we will have unexcelled IA
cllities for transportation, there being al
ready two lines running through cur

HAVE MONEY LEFT OVER.
"GoId Democrats Couldn't spend
All of Their Fund

New York, July 26-The Herald saws:
Surprise was expressed by Sound money
democrats" over the news from Indianap-
oils that the gold democratic" National
committee still has $4,000 in the treasury
left over from the campaign of 1896 This
is almost unoxampled in the history of
political committees. 1t was known that
the business men OF New York liter
ally poured money into the gold demo
cratic organization, but it was thought
that all the money had been spent. This
belief was based on repeated and insis-
tent demands for more money which were
MADE by leaders Of the Sound money
movement in certain Western States on
Corelius n. Bliss, treasurer OF the rcocb-
lican National committee; on appeals ma lie
late Iii October by the Palmer and
Buckner democrats OF Chicago on Senator
Hanna.
The statement has been made that the
money the gold democrats received for
their campaign was furnished by the
republican managers This was deni cd
yesterday and 1t vas said that most of
the funds were raised through the in
strumentality of the late Roswell =. Flow
err, who, OF all the sound money men in
the East, emerged from the campaign
with the most credit.

FIREMAN BADLY HURT.
Injuries Serious as He Has Recently
Been Sick and Is Weak.

Orange, Texas, July 26.-About II 30 to-
day while the switch engine was standing
on a siding in the Southern Pacific yards
at this place Dave Reeves. the fireman,
crawled under the engine to clean out
the ash pan; while he was at this work
the local freight train. from the east
pulled in and began backing into the sid
ing; the cars struck the switch engine
and moved it forward, catching Reeves
under the wheels. His left ear was cut
off, left shoulder crushed, left arm
mangled, his body badly bruised and his
right hand mashed almost to pulp. The
local railroad surgeons were summoned
Immediately ana amputated the left arm
at the shoulder and think they may have
to remove a part Of the shoulder. Reeves
has recently recovered from severe ILL.,

vive the terrible shock to his system He

Railroads Oppose the Fast Freight
Parcels Delivery.

New York, July 26.-At Thursday's
meeting of the executive committee Of
the trunk line association, the principal
subject discussed was the new ruling in
the official classification, which, If strictly
enforced, will prohibit the bulltng OF
small separate parcels under one cover
and forwarding them as one shipment.
Strong protests have been made by ship
pers against this ruling and the matter
is receiving special attention from the
trunk line officials. Whether they will
adhere to and enforce their ruling or will
modify 1t is proving very difficult prob
lem to solve, in view of the many inter-
ests which Will be affected by their de-
c1sion.
