Damage.
Barlow, Fla, Sept. 14-Information
reaches here that cyclone did con-
siderable damage at the home of Mr.
A. w. Hull, five miles south of Ona, on
the Arcadia road. The house, which
was five-room cottage, was lifted
from its foundations and set down

FLORIDA'S ORANGE CROP.
OUTLOOK NOT so BAD AS HAS BEEN
REPRESENTED.

UnfavorabIe weather Did Some
Damage, but the Agricultural Ex-
perts Estimate the Crop at 900.-
600 Boxes-Big Fund to Be Derived
From the Convict Hire Contract Is
Causing Talk as to Its Disposition.
Forestry Legislation Now COnsid-
cred Probable.
Tallahassee, Fla, Sept. 1.-THE high
ly pessimistic views of this years or
ange crop in Florida entertained by
some of the leading Northern papers
are exciting considerable comment here
Just now. They are far from being
justified by the facts in the case; and
as those facts are easily to be ar
rived at, it is difficult to see why reck-
less and irresponsible writer's, hard
up for an available subject, should go
out of their way to give the state
black eye.
1t must be admitted that the crop is
short, but there is, nevertheless, no
such deficiency as some would have the
world believe. The expert of the state
Agricultural Department here, in dis
cussing the orange output, says that
the crop is this year estimated at 90O,-
600 boxes-a considerable falling off
from the estimates made last spring,
which were about rs per cent. more.
The deficiency is ascribed to various
causes, among which may be enumer-
ated a cold wave while the trees were
blooming last February. and one pro-
tracted summer drouth, during which
oh, 49, hf1
white fly also got in some very ef-
fective work in certain sections.
In the southern section of the new
orange belr-notably in the counties of
De Soto, Manatee and Lee, on the West
Coast, and Dade and Brevard, on the
East, many new groves have been put
out in the last few years. and, as these
young trees are now fast COM
ing into bearing, a crop of
something like 100000 boxes may,
under favorable conditions, be expect
ed next year.

WELL KNOWN SPORT DEAD.
"onc-Eyed" Connolly Has Paid Fare
with His Last Funny story.

One Eyed" Connolly, a sporting
character known to Chicago and the
entire country for twenty-five years,
died Friday in Chicago at the Bride
well. Connolly was of Irish parentage
and born in London-always a matter
of regret to the man. He lost an eye
in 80 in a rough-and- tumble fight in
Boston.
AS fair fighter he never amounted
to much, but at the rough and-tumble
game he was popular because of the
energy he put into it. 1t was Connolly
or the other man out in a hurry.
1t is a matter of record that Connol-
ly had seen every big fight in the last
fifteen years. 1t is known that he
went to see the Sullivan Kilrain fight
with 10 cents in his pockets. He saw
the fight and when he returned had
$l5. He saw the Fitz-Corbett fight at
Carson City and they tell a funny story
in connection with this trip 1t is said
that the husband of Papinta, the
dancer was on the same car with Con-
molly and that he lost his roll He
accused Connolly of it and had him
put off the train, penniless, halfway
out. Connolly survived and saw the
night 1t was said the roll was put un-
der the carpet in another car but the
taker never got it, for the car was
switched off at a side station.
1t is said his funny stories carried
him over the country. The sports liked
to hear them and paid the fare. Con-
molly was reported dying in New York
last winter, but recovered and went
West to die.
Connolly was known either PERSONAL
~ or by reputation to not few resi-
dents of Savannah.

LIVELY BLAZE AT TALLAHASSEE.

The marked increase in the income
derived by the state from the hire of
convicts under Gov. jennings Statutory
regime is likely to give rise to more or
less controversy as to the manner in
which these moneys should be APP
portioned before the adjournment of
the Legislature of 1908 next June.
The fine and forfeiture act" of 1885,
under which the convict hire is now
distributed as among the As counties of
the state, upon pro rata basis, the
county that sends up the greatest num-
Der of prisoners receiving the greatest
share OF the profits is still in force.
This act went into force at a time
when the state was receiving but $21
per capita, per annum for its convicts
The present lessee-the Florida Naval
Stores and Commission Co., of Jack
sonville-pays the state, under the
terms of it's lease, $151.50, per annum
for each convict for a term of four
years, and as there are now nearly
1000 prisoners distributed among the
various camps, the total income from
this source amounts to something like
$15O,000 a year.
But, while each of the counties has
its Legislative representatives, ready
and willing to see that 1t receives it's
pro rata share of the proceeds, the
state itself has thus far found no one
to protect it's rights in the matter. And
that the state has such rights, and
that they deserve an adequate meas
ure of protection is clearly indicated
by the following facts: The cost of
all criminal prosecutions. under the
present system, is largely borne by
the state, which pays the jurors and
witnesses fees, SCI, 200 having last year
been expended in this direction alone.
These conditions are obviously I'M
just, and at the next session of the
Legislature an attempt will certainly
be made to allow the state it's legiti-
mate share of this fund. Any such
proposition, however, is morally GER
tain to find opposition, and the hand
of the opposition will be strengthen
ed by the fact that the circuit courts,
at least, handle civil as well as GRIM
inal cases-a fact which renders the
problem somewhat more difficult of
equitable adjustment.
Gov. jennings recent address before
the assembled turpentine operators of
the state in Jacksonville has been
made the subject of much comment,
most of which, by the way: is dis
tinctly favorable. 1t seems to be gen.
orally conceded that the time has
come in Florida to take some steps
in the direction of forest preserva-
ton; and in emphasizing the folly of
killing the goose that lays the golden
eggs, the Governor seems to have
voiced the general sentiment. 1t may
safely be accepted as a significant
fact that in his address before the
same body of hardheaded business
men, Mayor d. U. Fletcher of Jack
sonville took much the same view OF
the situation as that elaborated by
Gov. Jenning. Few public men in
Florida have wider influence. or
have used it to better purpose than
Duncan L. Fletcher; and if the Legis-
lature that is to convene here in
April next, is equal to the situation
1t will take steps to regulate an in
dustFy which, at the present rate OF
progress" has before it but very
few years of existence.
