between the buyers to insure to the
growers the full value of the crop.
This fact proves that the quality is
good and that there is a strong de-
mand for the product.
The celery business has been the one
thing talked of among residents of and
visitors to Sanford for the past three
months. 1t will be talked of more for
the next three months or three years.
The business is established. 1t is no
longer an experiment. The season is
just closing. $4,000 to 900 has been
paid to the celery growers of Sanford
for this springs crop They deliver a load
of Grated celery and receive the money
for it.
Sanford enjoys one advantage over
any other point in the state in the COL
tivation of this crop. Celery must have
water in plenty and at the right time
to promote rapid growth and give
the crispness which celery must have
to make it acceptable. Water in abun-
dance can be obtained from flowing
wells by simply driving down a hum
dred feet or less. Such a well, costing
less than 800 will give a flow suf-
ficient for an acre or more of land. 1t
can be turned on or off at pleasure
Possibly the soil of that region is no
better than in a hundred other locali-
ties. Certainly it is as good, and with
plenty of water and fertilizer success
is easy. Failure must be due to mis-
management. OF course, some have
failed. A large percentage of men fail
in every avocation yet essayed. But
the success exceed the failures in num-
Der.
One man who had three acres in
celery sold the crop for a little more
than $500. The representative of the
Morning News visited one lot-town
lot of one sixth of an acre in extent
planted in celery, on which the har-
vesting was just being completed. The
yield on this little plat was 1879 crates,
for which the grower, Mr.. McMullin,
received on delivery, 1925 per crate.
The names of a dozen successful grow
ers were secured, men who had sold
their crops at $1,000 to $4,000 per acre.
These figures look big on paper but
If any doubling Thomas questions their
truthfulness, he can easily satisfy him
self that they are not, exaggerated.
The full truth has not been told.

PATROLMAN WON OUT.
Negro Who Shot at Uniform Man Is
n Prisoner.

The negro who attempted to shoot
Patrolman ]. C. Mccarthy on the East
Side night or two ago is a prisoner
at the police station house.
After spending an hour on the out
side of a house on Alice and Mont
gomery streets early yesterday morn
ing, the arrest was finally made by
Mounted Patrolmen Mccarthy and
Lange, and Patrolmen Collins and
Nose Davis. Jim Burnes, the negro
who actually fired at the uniformed
man, was not the only one placed I'M
der arrest. Ed Smith, who was his
companion at the time of the shoot
ing, was also made a prisoner.
Three women in the house were also
placed in custody. They are charged
with interfering with officers and OBJ
structing an arrest. They are Rach-
ael Harris. Fife Washington and Hat
tie Reese, and along with Burnes and
Smith, will be arraigned before Re-
corder Myrick in Police Court this
morning. An account of the duel be-
tween the patrolman and the negro
was given in the Morning News at the
time. The officer Saturday night learn
ed who the man was who attempted
to take his life and with his brother
Montgomery streets.
The inmates refused to open the
doors and for an hour the patrolmen
remained on the outside. At one time
a negro man attempted to crawl from
a second story window to a tree, but
at the point of a revolver was forced
back into the house. After the men
and women within had finally planned
and plotted, the door was opened to
the men in uniform. The man who
did the shooting, and his companion,
were found concealed on the premises,
and from what the officers found they
had every reason to reach the conclu-
sion that a plot had been made to at
tempt to kill them, but that it had
afterwards been abandoned. On a bed
in the house was found a loaded re-
volved, the property of Burnes, and
the officers figured out that the negroes
lost their nerve after they discovered
that they had no chance to get away,
the men in uniform having decided to
remain outside the house until day
light.

SON OF UNION SOLDIER
GAVE TO MEMORIAL FUND.

Year by year the old wound between
the North and South is being healed
until to-day it is said there is no
North and no South. Whether this be
true or not is evidence in no small ex-
tent by the generous and patriotic ac-
ton of a Mott gentlemen who, tenn
porarily residing in Savannah, being
struck by the noble work of the Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy and their 10y

sent communication yesterday to
Mrs. A. T.. Hull president OF the
United Daughters OF the Confederacy,
enclosing a substantial sum 10 be de-

was largely due to the crop being set
out so late in the season and partial
Iy to the hard abode soil in which the
onions grew. 1t is believed that by
starting the crop earlier the yield can
be very materially increased and the
cost of production can also be re-
duced The onions were sold in the

They at once reported the matter to their mother, to whom they took the card containing the pins, Mrs. Cassidy sent for Deputy Marshal Shook, who at once recognized the find as a portion of the plunder from the Kern burglary.
 Other cards, from which the iewelry had been removed, and wrappings were found at the same place, It is evident that the robbers had stopped under the warehouse either to divide the loot or to remove the cards in order to reduce the bulk, and had lost the card with the beauty pins.
