Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
has an interesting article in re-
cent edition of the Southern Plant
|er. The central idea of it-and one
which is so patent as to need no
Arguments that the farmers of
this section of the country do not
make the most of their opportuni-
ties. With favorable seasons, an
abundance of moisture, good lands
and fair transportation facilities to
the markets, they neglect to take
advantage of their fortunate situa-
tion in the raising of such products
as the markets demand. He urges
them to farm on scien ific princi-
piles, and to pay particular atten-
tion to grazing lands and stock. In
one place he says: There is great
demand just now for horses, just
such horses as the southern people
know so well how to produce and
train. The world cannot get as
many of them as it wants. There
is no reason why the south should
not supply early spring lambs for
the northern markets, and the
dairy cow should have a place on
many more farms than she now
has. Your people are famed for
their fine hams, ard the bacon hog
should be raised more extensively
than it is among you"
Every farmer in the south knows
that the above is a statement of
facts as regards the southern states.
So far from having a surplus of the
necessaries of life to sell other sec
tions, We actually do not produce
enough for our own wants, and i'm
port our beef, butter and many
other products from the north and
west that can be made here. Di-
versified farming will make the
south one of the richest countries
in the world if persistently follow
ed up on scientific lines, and the
earlier we can take it up that much
quicker will we become indie
pendent.

Johnson. the white man hanged at
Asheville Wednesday for burglary
He said he had much rather die than
serve a life sentence in the peniten-
tiary. He really appeared glad TO die.
The authorities heEe and elsewhere
made all sorts OF efforts TO ascertain
his real name. All efforts failed. He
once had the name Wilson. He was
wanted for murder in the Indian Ter
ritory and in Florida and in the latter
state there was $1,000 reward out
standing for him. Such are the receiv-
ed statements.
He was by profession a safecracker,
and declared he was born in north

the Indian Territory.
At almost the last moment he re-
fused to tell his name, saying it would

Extravagant Statement.

We wish to correct the statement
made by Brother Humphries, of
the Braidentown Journal, last week
as follows: "That the celebrated
Indian river oranges have been
knocked out or have ceased to ex-
ist," because Gas he states at some
lengtb) that oranges from Perico
island, in Manatee county, are sup
piled by contract to the East Coast
Hotel system. 1t is a fact that
oranges from Manatee county are
supplied to these hotels; but it is
also a fact that the caterers for Mr.
Flrgler's hotels are not willing to
pay the prices asked for Indian
river fruit, which can be proved by
growers on the east coast who were
approached last fall by these cater
ers to buy their crops for the
season. We make the statement
advisedly, without fear of contra
diction, that the Manatee grower is
receiving a smaller price for his
fruit than the Indian river orange
growers are now netting in New
York markets.
AS to the statement of Brother
Humphries that Manatee oranges
are included in the best of every
thing, we would say that Manatee
fruit has been observed at this
point as it passed to the East Coast
hotels, and in quality and appear
ance the Indian river orange is su
perior to it; and this observation i,
further emphasized by the fact that
our growers are now realizing as
high as $500 per box in New York
markets, when the East Coast HO
tel system is only willing,to pay
about half this price per box for the
Manatee fruit.

Just now the topic for discussion
in this state seems To be the revival
of the dispensary system, which
was first brought up at the last

humble opinion there is very little
need of apprehension of the dispen-
sary plan meeting with the ap-
proval of the people of Florida
sufficient to become law. 1t

litical manipulatorS, but with the
temperance element and the saloon

A good many would like to know
the originator of the tale that Sem
ator Tillman had advised Senator
Platt to suggest to the president
not to visit Charleston, for it seems
there is no foundation for it. The
presidents request that Senator
Tillman withdraw his invitation to
the dinner in honor of Prince
Henry probably did not create as
much of sensation in South Caro-
lima as it did elsewhere, for it is
now understood to have been the
purpose of the president to simply
avoid any unpleasant comments N
the guests mt that dinner. The
storm is about blown over, and it
seems that the president will visit
Charleston, after all, and present
appearances would indicate that he
will have a very hearty welcome.
