PUSH TALLAHASSEE
Her Future Prospects are BX-
CeediHgly Bright
3
MORE FACTORIES NEEDED
Trains will Soon be Running on Two
a. New Roads.

Il take great pleasure in reading the
Tallahasseean, said Governor BlOx-
ham to the reporter yesterday, land
heartily commend its efforts to pro-
mote the best interests of. the city.
This is something that Tallahassee
needs, and any effort to build it up
should receive the cooperation of the
Citizens. Keep up the good work"
That is just what the Tallahasseean
proposes to do. 1t wants to see the
Capital City the most important as well
as the most beautiful in Florida. Ma
ture has done her full s-are in the mat
ter of location, soil and climate, and it
is now up to the people to finish the
work.
The outlook for the future of Talla-
hasSee is more than usually bright.
Next week the bios for enlarging the
capitol will be opened. This will mark
the beginning of a number of improve
ments. Already there are two new
business blocks going up, the two Py-
THAN lodges are working together TO
secure the erection OF a handsome,
four-story castle hall, and soon trains
will be running into the capital city
over two new railroads.
In conversation with Governor Jen-
nings yesterday morning, that gentle
man stated that as soon as the enlarge
ment Of the capital is finished, the cap
itOl grounds Wiuld be improved and
beauti1ed. This is a natural liner
ence, and the people should not wait
until that work is done before they
start.
Tallahassee has a bright future, ~
said Mr.. D. B. Meginniss, one of our
successful business men. More i'm
provements are under way now than
ever before at one time, but we need
a frst-class sewerage system, good
streets and more factories. When
we secure these Tallahassee will take
rapid strides forward and every man
who has the interests of the city al
heart sh6ald .be in favor of such i'm.
This is the opinion Of a large ma
jority of the people, but they will have
to work together in order to accom-
plish results.

ACCOMMODATIONS FOR ALL.

Those who visit the State Fair at
Jacksonville can be assured Of ample
accommodations at reasonable rates.
Members of the board o. trade have
canyassed the city, and found accom-
mOdatiOns for 1900 people. There will
be rate to st. Augustine that will per-
nit any who desire to visit that city.
where they will find ample and first
class accommodations at from S1.00 to
$3.50 per day, going and returning
evening and morning.
Trains will be run on the different
roads so that people from large area
can go in and spend the day and re-
turn at night home. Three or. four
thousand people can visit Jacksonville
every day and not leave more than
thousand people for the city 10 care for.
People are not all coming On one day,
nor will they stay four days; if this
were true, the State Fair would be
gold mine. If there is ever one thou
sand people all night in Jacksonville,
during the fair, that would mean a
large sum of money to the fair, and
yet the Board of Trade has aCcommo-
dations for 1000. There WILL be Du-
reau of information located: at or near
the depot, where people can apply Tor
rooms. A large percentage OF the peo-
ple coming to the fair will come from
a radius Of $50 miles, and such persons
will largely come for only one day. IL
is already the largest agricultural ex-
hibit ever shown in the South, and FAR
and away the largest fair ever held In
Florida. The amusements are largely
beyond anything ever shown here, and
beyond it will be the phenomenal sight
of a city building up all at one time.

A GOOD Man GONE
Jacob R. Cohen Passed AWAY
Tuesday Morning
FUNERAL ON WEDNESDAY
Followed by Largest Procession ever
Seen in Tallahassee

Though it had been expected for sew
.eral days, the death last Tuesday morn
ing of Mr.. Jacob R. Cohen, one of our
leading merchants and landlords, cast
a shadow of gloom over the entire COM
munity.
For years he had been a sufferer from
Brights disease, and for the past sew
eral months, though he has been up
and about his place of business a good
portion of the time, it has been appar-
ent to his closest friends that the end
was not far off.
Everything possible was done to re-
lieve his sufferings, but nothing availed
and at a little after o'clock Tuesday
morning he quietly passed away, sur
rounded by relatives and loved ones.
Jacob r. Cohen was 81 years of age
lacking only few days. He was born
in Germany, but his parents came to this
country and located at Savannah, Ga.
when he was only l year old. In the
latter place he grew up and received d
liberal education.
In 1877, he married Miss Rachel Will
liams, of this city, and they went to
live in Orlando, Fla, where he did bus
mess quite successfully for a number
of years. In 1879 they came to TalIa-
haSsee to live, and subsequently Mr
Cohen succeeded in business his father
in-law, Col. R. S. Williams, who was
one of the leading merchants of the
capital city.
Since then Mr.. Cohen has served this
city as Councilman and president OF
the Young Mems Business League and
! for long time chairman of the Board
of Public instruction for this county.
In all these positions he was a fearless
advocate Of what he conceived to be
right; and always held the esteem of
those with whom he was associated,
Tne funeral took, place from his res
idence on McCarty street, and was ae-
co1npanied to the cemtery by one Of the
largest professions of the kind ever
aseen IN Pallahassee. Flowers Weresent
lin until no place could be.foundr to hold
them. =.
The funeral services were conducted
by he Masonic order, of which Mr. Co
hen was for long term of years &
distinguished member. Quite a num-
Der of visiting MasOns were in the city,
and were also in ranks, to do honor to
their departed brother
These were honorary or citizen pail
bearers: T. B. Byrd, G. w. Saxon, W.
A. RaWls, W. C. Lewis, J. B. Whitfield
and J. f. Demilly.
The pall-bearers (MasOnic) were: W.
H. Markham, Prof BUchhOlz, DR..
Gwynn, s. NJ Walker, ]. w. Collins
and w. F. Armstrong.
At the cemetery the Masonic prayer
was Xead by Chaplain 6. NJ. Provence,
and the funeral service by G. e. Me
Griff. Then followed the grand h0nOrs
of the order, after which Undertaken
Duncan's representative, William Pra-
tOrius, took charge of the vault and
soon had it bTicked over and filed in.

WILL DIE TO-DAY.


Will Jones, the negro murderer, of
Madison county, will pay the penalty
of his crime to-day. The death warrant
was issued by Governor Jennings Mon
day.
1t will be remembered by readers of
the TallahaSSeean that about month
ago Jones killed a woman and two men
in Madison county. He became offend
ed at the woman because she refused to
have anything to do with him, and
killed her and her husband. In trying
to escape, he saw a man hunting in the
woods and shot him down.
Jones was arrested, and as the feeling
against him was intense, he was
! brought to Tallahassee for safe keep
ing. He was taken back to Madison
county on October IA for trial in the
Circuit Court, and was convicted OF
murder in the first degree. Governor
Jennings issued the following death
warrant on Monday, and by 2 o'clock
to-day the murderer will have eX-
plated his crime on the gallows. The
warrant reads:

a very popular young man, who has
won the confidence and esteem Of the
entire community. He is in the en-
ploy of the Carrabelle, Tallahassee 6

TOBACCO IN FLORIDA.

Editor TallahaSSeean-I have never
yet scene in your paper any questions
asked or answered directly, but 1 am
going to ask few through its columns
for information. Of course, to begin
must say that l am wholly ignorant
Of agriculture as it is conducted in your
portion of the country. T he cultiVa-
tiOn of tobacco is something | wish tC
inquire into, and this is something
understand very well the way it is con-
Quoted mere in Connecticut. We plant
Havana seed, mostly, and the cost is
about $3.50 per acre. For stable manure
$50; for cotton seed meal, $40; the re-
mainder for hired help and incidentals
The yield is about one ton per acre, the
average price 20 cents per pound. Will
you kindly give me the cost per acre
in your section for the same kind OF
tobacco, what the fertilizer is, the av-
erage yield, and price per pOund.-A
Subscriber, Broad Brook, Conn.
We have referred the above letter
to Mr.. E. Shutan, general business
manager of the Ell ProvedC. Cigar Fac
tory, who is an expert on the subject
''In the first place." he said, 1.-The value
much on the large yield as on the quail
of a tobacco crop does not depend sc
| ity of the leaf. In Florida we do moi
plant Havana seed, because it does moi
do well in this climate. We use Su'
matra, and in texture, color and flavor
the product is equal to the best i'm
ported Sumatra.
For the best results, our tobacco is
planted and cultivated under sheds
The shade protects it from the hot sun
and enables it to mature better. To-
bacco grown in the sun is fit only fol
filters, while that grown in the shade
produces wrappers.
"The cost per acre for fertilizer is
from $50 to $75, according to soil ant
season. The cost for hired help and in.
cidentals will be about $25 per acre
making the total cost of the crop range
from SIS to 800 per acre. The yield
under shade averages from 700 to 1,OOC
pounds to the acre. This is worth tt
the farmer from so cents pound up
Cottonseed meal is the fertilizer gen.
orally in use. Shade tobacco is wOrtf
more than the sun product, and the
yield is much greater.
"Our yield is not as large as Sub
scriber gives for Conencticut, but the
tobacco is Of finer quality and sells OF
an average for $50 per cent. more
There is a splendid opening here fol
farmers to engage in tobacco culture
