CAN COUNTIES
LEASE G0NVCTS?
CONTENTION BEING MADE THAT
THEY SHOULD BE WORKED
ON THE PUBLIC ROADS.

Ocala, Sept "A case Of unsua
interest was argued before Judge w
E. Bullock yesterday.
Through his attorney, r. A. Bur
ford, Walter Ray began mandamus
proceedings to restrain the Board Of
County Commissioners from leasing
the county convicts to w. B. Blount
which the board contracted to do al
its last meeting, Mr. Blount to take
charge Of the prisoners today.
Mr.. Blount is to pay SIS per month
for adults; half-price for women and
boys up to the age Of u years.
Mr.. Burford contended that the
board should have given public notice
that they intended to hire the con
yicts instead of working them on the
hard roads, as had been their policy
for the past several years, so as To
put everyone who desired such labor
on an equality and the county per
haps would have obtained a much
larger price for their hire.
He also cont ended that the BOARD
had no right to lease them at all. as
under the statutes county c0nvicts
are to work on the public roads.
Don c. McMuilin, of Tampa, repre-
sented Mr.. Blount and Messrs. Louis
Duval and l. n. Green represented
the Board Of Commissioners
These gentlemen c0ntended that
the board has the right to lease the
and that this is the practice
OF nearly every board of County Com
missioners in the state; that the law
does not require them TO give public
notice and that it does give them the
right to use discretionary power in
the leasing of the convicts as well as
in the other things over which the
board has control

INDIA RUBBER.
Process of Tapping the Trees ana
Preparing the Sap.

Process of Tapping the Trees ana
Preparing the Sap.
India rubber, or caoutchouc, is a dry,
EVACUATED, milky juice, the sap Of
trees and shrubs indigenous to the
most unhealthy md inaccessible re
gions in the equatorial countries o.
South America, in certain areas OF
west Africa and the Uganda protec-
tOrate The mortality among the ma
tives in the quest for rubber is enor-
nous. The natives are equipped for
their hunts by the brokers and venture
to the haunts Of the caoutchouc trees
In boats and by marches through miles
of thick forests. But the climate car
ries of the rubber hunters like flies.
and the percentage of those who re-
turn from the expedition is very low.
Many properties of a vegetable emUl-
sion are possessed by the sap, which
contains the caoutchouc in the form OF
myriads of minute globules The proc
ess Of tapping the trees for the sap is
closely akin to the method of extract
ing strip from the maple trees in
North America. The sap is collected
IN large watts. The Juice 3sethen sub
mitted to a heat and smoke treatment.
A fire Of palm nuts is made, and a pole
is inserted in the vat containing the
'viscid fluid. When withdrawn from
the vessel the end of the pole is be
smeared with the sticky. substance
The rubber is then held in the smoke
issuing from the palm nut fire until
the sap coagulates. The treatment in
the peculiar smoke effects the curing
of the rubber
When the operation is completed the
pole with its charge is once more inn
mersed in the vat Of raw caOutchouC
and the smoke and heat process re
peated and so on several times until
there is a large knob or accumulation
Of rubber upon the end Of the pole con-
stituted of hundreds Of thin layers Of
rubber. The end of the pole is then
cut out of the rubber, and the spherical
mass is duly examined by the broker
and labeled according to its quality.

OLD BARK BEING
DESTROYED
BY FIRE
The Abandoned Vessel Lying Near
Rat" Island, Is Being
Burned.

The old Italian bark, which for
more than year has been lying in
shallow water near Rat island, on
the western bay front, is being de-
sroyed by fire, and all during yester-
cay and last night parties passing
watched the destruction of the old
vessel, the flames being plainly Wis
ible from the beach.
The abandoned hull was set on fire
some time Friday night, and since
that time has been burning steadily
and it is anticipated that by tonight
she viii have been completely de-
stroyed.
The bark sunk in the harbOr with
q cargo of lumber and timber about
two years ago, spTinging leak just
as the vessel was preparing to sail
for Cuba. The cargo was eventually
removed, and efforts made to make
repairs, but the ship was too old TO
allow of this ana she was finally
towed to a point near Rat island,
and run aground.
The vessel. however, was in the
way of tow boats and small vessels,
even at Jnat point, and as she had
been stripped OF all material oil any
value. it was decided to destroy her
by fire.

CATARRH

Catarrh usually begins with a cold IN

mucous membranes all become i1famed
aud secrete a filthy, unhealthy matter
which IS absorbed BY the blood and dis
tr1buted to ali parts Of the body. The
patient IS then continually hawking
and splitting, the pose IS stopped up,
the ears have a ringing or buzzing noise,
the throat becomes sore, and as tie IN
healthy matter more Thoroughly sstu-
rates the blood a general feeling of des-
pondency takes possession of the system.

Very Long Time.

Under Some Circumstances II Seems a
Very Long Time.
In a murder trial before a western
court the prisoner was able to account
for the whole of his time except five
minutes on the evening when the crime
was committed. His counsel argued
that it was impossible for him to have
killed the man under the circumstances
in so brief a period, and on that plea
largely based his defense, the other
testimony being strongly against his
client.
When the prosecuting attorney re-
piled, he said: How long time really
is five minutes? Let us see. Will his
honor command absolute silence In the
courtroom for that space"
The judge graciously compiled. There
was a clock on the wall. Every eye In
the courtroom was fixed upon 1t as the
pendulum licked off the seconds. There
was a breathless silence.
We all know how time which Is
waited for creeps and halts and at last
does not seem to move at all.
The keen witted counsel waited until
the tired audience gave sigh Of relief
asked quietly:
Gould he not have struck one fatal
blow in all that time?"
The prisoner was found guilty, and,
as it was proved afterward, justly.

CHARLESTON A LEADER In THE Coz
FEE TRADE.-The sixth cargo Of coffee
directly imported by F. w. Wagner
& Co., arrived at Charleston yesterday
on the British ship Glooscop, Capt.
George D. Spice. from Santos, Brazil,
and consists Of twelve thousand bags
of high grade beans. The coffee Is
from Rio and Is carefully selected and
will be used in the large and growing
trade of Wagner & Co., a great
amount of 1t being roasted and ground
and put up in tins and packages. This
Importation is in time to keep the
large stock of the firm In trim, and will
be followed at intervals by other car
goes. The firm now has very extern
siye business in coffees, supplying q
large per cent Of the trade In South
Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Virginia
and selling considerable coffee In
washington and Baltimore. The cargo
is valued at 100000 and the ship was
forty-seven days out from Santos. The
beans are In fine condition and will
soon be unloaded and stored In the
huge ware houses Of the firm.
Some time ago Messrs. F. w. Wag-
ener & Co., decided that to meet the
demands made upon them for high
grade coffees, roasted and ground, 1t
would be best for them to install
plant for the preparation Of the beans.
They made plans for the best and most
improved roasters and packers, grind
ers and other machinery and these were
set up in the second floor Of the large
warehouse adjoining the main stores.
The expert handling Of these coffees
and the attractive manner in which
they were put UP for the market soon
brought attention and interest and this
feature Of the business doubled In
single year. The capacity Of the roast
ing plant Is now being increased to en-
deavor to meet the growing demands.
