The News Item comes out little
late this week, as does the "Sulli-
van Herald" We had obvious rea-
sons for doing so, as the Herald is
in the habit of making false state
ments of remarkable magnitude.
We believed that its object of delay
was to incubate more false statments
and as this issue closes the campaign
it would prevent us the duty of eX-
ploding them as we nave those thus
far hatched.

Ba xIey's Syrup Refinery.

Baxiey Banner; The full amount OF CAP

OF syrup refinery here was secured in a
Few minutes canvass Tuesday morning by
MT. c. w. Deem. The preliminary work
had been well done and the business men
had so familarized themselves with the
project that when the subscriptions we're
opened the full amount necessary was rails
ed without trouble. The company will be
incorporated under a charter which will
give II power to buy and sell and refine
syrup and sugar. although they do not in
tend to try sugar making until the cane
acreage rs largely increased. They will
refine syrup under a patent process which
prevents sugaring and fermentng, thus
avoiding two OF the banes of the syrup
producer. There is a good market for sy-
rup made under this process and the en-
terprise will doubtless prove a success
Tho enterprise will be OF great benefit to
the people of this section. Heretofore
there has been no market for syrup and
the cane grower has been compelled 10
almost give his product away or take
trade for 1t at any price. The people In all
the adjoining counties can bring their sy-
rup hero this fall and rest assured that
they can sell IL for the market pride in
cash. II Will be as staple as cotton and
thus the farmers can have another crop
which they can always count on 10 bring

CANDLER's CROPS DAMAGED.
Covering Orange Groves-Lake Weir
Postofiice to Be Opened.


Gambler. Fla. June 2S.-Long continued
wet weather is doing great damage in
this portion of Florida, the rains are so
FIRE quent and heavy that farmers can
scarcely get a day dry enough to pillow.
Cotton is going too much TO weed and
corn is not doing well. 1t is feared
peaches will be seriously damaged If we
do no soon get sunshine. over six inches
of water has fallen within the past TWEEN
ty-four hours.
j. Y. Mckinney is preparing to start
up his saw mill to cut lumber to cover
in more of his orange grove. He covered
in two acres last year and will now
cover two acres more. IL costs about
81 900 an acre to do this work, but il is
claimed that II will pay. Capt. John l..
Carney of Lake Weir will also cover in
his beautiful grapefruit grove, having
purchased the old Chautauqua buildings
for that purpose. The orange groves
are looking tine here and many people
are hopeful that this extremely wet year
will be the forerunner of mlder winters,
as the lakes are rising very rapidly.
1t is said there is a good prospect for
the postoffice at Lake Weir being re-
established with Mrs. II. H. Tobey as
postmistress. the postoffice at Lake Weir
was established twenty-five years ago
Judge c. F. Benson, now Of Jacksonville,
was the postmaster for fifteen years.
Rev. William Morris, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church here, has removed
to South Lake Weir and will serve the
church there as well as the one here.

Stumps Drawn by Wind Power.
From the Farmer,s Advochte

From the Farmers Advocate.
Utilizing the wind a a stump puller is
an Oregon invention. 1t was the idea OF
the farmer a the state penitentary. whose
task was to clear six acres, and with the
aid Of the wind he cleared the whole tract
in six weeks, although the timber was a
dense growth, the first measuring from
ore to four feet in diameter. The winds
in the quarter blew strong from the south
a this season. The farmer put his men
10 work on the north side Of the fir grove
They cut log aud dragged it close to the
north side Of the bases of the fir trees,
and then cut the surface roots OF the
trees that were to be felled. The prepara-
tons were made during the first day. and
then the men went home and slept while
the wind did the rest. During the
night a strong south wind blew the trees
down. and they. in falling across the logs
pulled up the taproots. The next day the
men sawed up the fallen trees. burned
the brush, and laid their logs for another
lot of trees. They proceeded in this way
until the whole grove had disappeared. q
