The Tree of the Most Rapid Growth.

The eucalyptus, a genus of myr-
tacae, grows to greater height in a
shorter time than is the case with
any other known tree. The eucalyp-
tus has increased its height by as
much as twenty-four feet in the
short space of three months and at
tains rapidly both a great height
and large circumference. These
trees form the preponderant and
most characteristic vegetation of the
Australian forest, where they are
famed for their great heights, usu-
ally ranging from 200 feA to 400
feet, while one has been recorded as
having attained nearly 500 feet,
with a circumference Of 81 feet. An
oak tree in three years grows 2 feet
1912 inches; larch, 3 feet ~
inches; an elm, s feet 3 inches; a
beech, l foot 8 inches; a poplar, :
feet; willow, 8 feet inches, An
elm attains full growth in $50 years
and lives to 500 or 600. Ash is full
grown in 100 years, while it takes
200 years for oak and mahogany to
reach full height.

| Tribute to 0essrS. SistTunk and
WaFtmann.

Tribute to nsssrs. sistrunk and
Wartmann.
Tallahassee, Nay %, 1905.
To the Editor OF the Ocala Banner:
1t was my pleasure to know Mr..
Carlos L. Sistrnnk as a school boy; it
waslthere he showed by his applica-
ton and studious habits that there
was the making of man in him; he
was not like other boys with all their
frivolous habits, but was ever found
at his books seeking the real pleas
ureslthat is not to be found in the
disreputable habits of many boys; it
was at::schooI he developed the traits
of an orator, and his application since
in the pactice of law has grown to
be one of the ''silver tongued ora
tors'' of the state, and if it had been
your pleasure to have heard him speak
on the Buchanan bill, you would not
doubt my assertion. When he arises
and says, 'Mr. Speaker" the whole
house is all attention for they know
that there is something doing!"
While he is speaking all are on the
qui vive and when he finishes the
house goes into pandemonium until
called down by the speakers gavel.
Mr.. Sistrunk is one of the rising
young men of Florida and is destined
to write his name high on the banner
of fame. In this prosaic time when
SO many men are raised in luxury it
is one of the blessings of the age to
see a self-made>man, who started on
the bottom rung of the ladder at the
public school, and who by his own
efforts has advanced steadily, rung
by rung, and is al this early age
nearly at the top. The future holds
great things for such pluck and ener-
g.; it is with great deal of pride
that we look on these young and adj
vancing men; it speaks great things
for the future of our nation.
All honor to him who tries FOR he is
sure to win.
The Hon. Ed l.. Wartmann, the sly
reynard of Marion, who works in his
quiet and unassuming way, his Won
ders to perform, is the father of the
automobile bill and one of the strong
est su. porters of the Buckman bill.
While Mr.. Wartmann is not one of our
best orators, he has happy faculty
OF saying the right thing in the right
place and it always carries weight
with it; he does not believe that he
should be heard fer his much speak
ing, so he works all the harder; he is
a wonderful politician aud one of the
best members of the Legislature. His
work in favor OF the Buchanan bill
was very visibly felt. Marion county
could not be better represented and
in the near future we expect 70 see
him IN the state senate. Mr.. Wart-
mann is one of our quiet workers and
has an irresistible way about him
that few can refuse. When you see
Mr.. Wartmann working around On
the quiet you can just look out for
something is going to drop and if he
is opposed to measure it may drop
hard. Mr. Wartmann is a success as
a man in business and as member OF
the Florida legislature. Tallahassee
has not seen the last of Mr.. Wart-
mann for we believe Marion county
will see fit to send him here again
and again. ATTACHE.

DR.. sLeDO'S REPLY.

The reply of DIR. Andrew Sledd,
president of the University of Flor
ida, to the report on the condition of
the University of Florida made by the
legislative visiting committee, is, we
think, complete and conclusive.
The visiting committee said that
SO per cent of the university patron
age is purely local. the truth is that
it is only 80 per cent.
The report states that chapel hall is
in frightfully dilapidated condition
and that the walls are tumpling down.
DR.. Sledd shows that the plaster had
fallen off of one square foot in every
two thousand square feet or about
IA of square foot to an ordinary
room.
The report says that the two dor
matories are entirely unwholesome.
DR.. Sledd shows that the health of
the students, not only now but in
all past times, has been most excel
lent.
DR.. Sledd also shows that the aver
age number of instructors to the
number of students compares favor
ably with all the prominent colleges
and universities in the country and
gives detailed list of same to prove
his statement.
The report says that 81, 800 was ap-
propriated by the legislature of 1903
for the model farm. DR.. Sledd sent
telegram to State Comptroller Groom
asking if this part of the report were
true according to the records shown
at Tallahassee. The comptroller
wired back, "No."
The report further says that the
trustees, who have control of the
expenditures of the U. S. government
funds for supporting the experiment
station, were accustomed to use these
funds for purposes contrary to the
national law. AS result of this
practice the agricultural interests of
the state have suffered, and the state
Will be deprived of a part of the
SIS ,0G0 appropriation to which it will
be entitled for the next fiscal year,
the United States department of ag-
riculture recently ruled to that effect.
DIR. Sledd telegraphed to DR.. A. G.
True, Washington, d. c., who has
the work III charge, as follows:
Asserted here that Florida will
lose part of Hatch fund next year.
Is this true? Please wire reply.'
The following is DR.. True's reply:
Washington, D. c.. March "a.
1905.-Director Andrew Sledd. Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, Lake
City, Fla, Dear Sir:-0n my return
to Washington this morning your
telegram OF May - has been brought
TO my attention. On the basis of
DR.. Aliens examination of the &C
count OF the Hatch fluid for the cur
rent fiscal year. no disallowance is
contemplated and no public criticism
of the management of the station
has been made by anyone connected
with this office. Very truly yours,
"a. c. TRUE, Director
| So, from start to finish, DIR. Sledd
has annihilated every adverse conten-
ton made in the visiting committees
report and put every criticism to
fight.
| The committee, in word, has
been completely routed and it is
shown that it's statements have been
unfair, inaccurate and made from
motives that should not actuate men
in high places.
