PROFIT IN HOGS
GOOD SUGGESTIONS AND PRAC-
TICAL HINTS

Tampa Times The following little
local item from the zolfo Advertiser
Of the Bird instant is the sort OF stuff
which shows the progress being made
by south Florida farmers in the direct
ion which the Times has been for years
earnestly calling to their attention:
Fritz Williams, of Crewsvllle, had
about 100 head Of hogs loaded here
for shipment to Tampa yesterday.
They were furnished by stock ralsers
in the Crewsville section, and brought
four cents per pound, live weight, in
the stock pen here"
Foua cents per pound, live weight.
delivered at the station, Is a very fair
price for hogs, and is twice the money
they cost the producer. As this paper
has continually insisted, Florida can
produce as good hogs, and do It as
cheaply, as the great recognized hog
prod ucing section Of the west. Our
farmers have only to turn their at
tention to this branch Of industry TO
become as wealthy and as influential
as the same class OF people in any sec
tion Of the country
Those farmers in the vicinity OF
Crewsville will not have to borrow
money to pay their taxes, nor for any
other purpose. They are on the right
track, and when things get to that
stage when every farmer in south
Florida will market from ten to two
hundred head Of fat porkers every
year the problem Of wealth and pros
perity for this part of the State will
be fully solved for all time.
It is almost needless 70 add that
there is fully as much, probably more,
money in cattle than in hogs Look
about, over every country in this sec
tion, and sec who are the richest men
With scarcely an exception they are
the men who have for years been en-
gagged in raising cattle, Look about
the vicinities OF the various cities and
towns and list the people who are well
to do, who have enough to live on with
more than comfort, and it will be
found that they are those who have
diversified their work, who have had a
few hogs to sell, who have marketed
milk and butter and chickens ant
eggs.

THE ORANGE MARET

The New York Packer says A very
brisk movement in Florida oranges is
noticeable. Indications are that the
fruit will carry better this year than
in previous years. The quality OF the
fruit as a general rule is excellent. Last
years. crop vas damaged considerable
by rains. Some dealers and forward
ers estimate that this years crop is 20
per cent better than last year. The
packing houses throughout the State
are generally employing good forces.
In some sections the growers say that
dealers are not buying as readily as
conditions will permit and for this rea-
son good many are forming connec-
tions on a commission basis.
The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Co
reports an excellent movement OF or
anges from the Charlotte HARDER di'
vision. One of the well-known railroad
men estimated that at least % car loads
Of fruit is moving from that section

STATE PRINTER
ON THE RACK
MORE ROTTEO WORK
is PRODUCED
INVESTIGATING SCHEME
TO ROB THE PUBLIC

True Democrat: During the past
few days the State printer appeared in
the Office of Hon. NJ. IL. Mabry, clerk
OF the Supreme Court, with an armful
of objects purporting to be copies OF
the 45th volume of Supreme Court re-
ports, and, dumping them down with
a flourish, announced that the work
thereon was completed, and that he
would like TO have a receipt for the
same. Judge Mabry is naturally de-
liberate, and his judicial habit, as well
as his sense Of duty, prompted him to
examine the objects, with a view to
ascertaining the right OF the printer to
procure a receipt. Judge Of his sur
prise and disgust when he found in the
volumes an example Of just about the
rottenest piece Of public work ever
turned out in the State OF Florida.
OF course, Judge Mabry called the
attention OF the justices Of the court,
and the Attorney-general Ito whom, in
fact, the delivery should have been
made, as the official reporter of the
court), to the shameful condition OF
the work, and those officials promptly
refused to receive it, and referred the
matter to the Board of Commissioners
of State Institutions, whose function is
to enter into contract with the State
printer and see that he fulfills his con-
tract in every particular.
At the present writing the board has
the matter under advisement, but il
can scarcely be possible that it will
accept the work, and order payment &c
be made therefor, in the face of the
protests Of the Supreme Court Justices
and The official reporter Of the court.

TWO PHARISEES
A FictionIess Fable In Rhyme by VIII

A FictionIess Fable in Thyme by Will
MRupIn OF the Cemmoner.
A Pharisee OF gracious mein who

his cunning eyes towards the bright
and sunny skies he gave loud thanks

The Pharisee of whom you've read
has for a long, long time been dead T;
but in his place in every land some
other Pharisee will stand, and stand

Father, but to the crowd-and then
imagine he is viewed with honor by
the multitude.

Fifty thousand pluuks or more belong

eyes on high and prayed-and worked
graft on the sly.

swerve, but strove our honor to pre-
serve" And as he prayed his pockets
bulged with wealth secured by schemes
divulged despite his loud emphatic
plea that none we're quite so pure as
he. And withVa nerve sublime he
tried to point to his career with
pride.
The Pharisee of olden time has long
since struck another cline, and all the
world declares with vim tits surely
hot enough for him. The Pharisee

Of his steals were spent to further

DEMOCRATS WIN
MANY GAINS TO THE PARTY IN
THE ELECTIONS

The ELECTIONS
Interest in Tuesdays elections, out
side Of the States in which elections
were held, was mainly in the munich
pal contests in New York and Phila-
delphia, says the Savannah News. In
New York there was great surprise
that Hearst, the independent candi-
date, run so close to Mcclellan, the
regular Democratic nominee, for
Mayor, and there was rejoicing that
Jerome, the independent candidate for
district attorney, was reelected.
There are reasons for thinking that
II the campaign had lasted a few days
more Hearst would have been elected.
When he became n candidate it was
thought he would make a good race,
but it wasn't believed that he had
much OF a chance for success
1t is evident that the things he
stands for has strong hold upon the
people of New York City. He is
against the grating system that pre-
walls among the politicians OF the dom
inant party there, and against the
special privileges which the corpor-
ations enjoy and out of which great
fortunes are accumulated. His candi-
dacy was protest against the power
exerted by great wealth in the hands
OF favored few. Ostensibly he was
for municipal ownership of public
utilities, but it is doubtful II that fea-
ture of his platform cut much of a
figure in the contest.
1t isa question il Hearst himself
expected to be elected, He lacked an
organization and also workers at the
polls. He has demonstrated, however
that he has a following, and it is safe
to conclude that he will be heard from
again upon a wider field.
In Philadelphia the City party, which
is the party Of the reformers, was over
whelmingly successful. The return
indicate that the gang" which con
trolled the regular Republican organi
zation, was beaten in almost ever
ward That means that the purilica
ton Of the politics of the city that wa
begun some months ago, and whicl
was inaugurated by an uprising Of tn
people, will be continued, and that th
city, for time at least, will have al
honest government. 1t means also tina
the party bosses and officials who hay
filled their pockets at the expense q
the taxpayers will have to make resti
tuition and also pay the penalty of thei
wrong doing.
In the State elections the chief in
terest was in Maryland where negr
disfranchisemen was the issue and i
Massachusetts where tariff reform, i
the shape Of reciprocity treaties, wa
the question that commanded the mos
attention during the campaign. tn
decision seems to have been agains

FIRST VISIT HERE OF
THE RINGLING CIRCUS
Wilmington Will See the
Immense Exhibition on
Friday

Ringling Brothers. Worlds Greatest
Shows which will exhibit here on Friday
viii make their initial bid for favor be-
fore a Wilmington audience at that time.
Despite the magnitude Of the enterprise,
which is everywhere conceded as the best
and biggest in their line of endeavor. this
city has never before been included in
their itinerary. The show was founded
by the five brothers whose features are
seen emblazoned upon the bill boards
about town-Alf T., Al, John. Charles
and Otto by name, and from the day Of
its inception they have controlled its des-
tiny and management.
From a very crude and primitive affair
they have evolved and upbuiIt the vast
amusement structure bearing the names
which have become as household words
wherever the English language is spoken,
and even beyond. In former years their
institution was more often referred to as
that Western Show" as it loomed with
each succeeding season, brighter and
vaster upon the circus horizon until it
reached that point where its older COM
petitors took cognizance of the hand
writing upon the wall and realized that
its strength and prestige within certain
geographical lines were becoming uni
versal in scope.
The time has passed for reference to it
as a western show" It is too broad and
progressive, too immense to be designated
as a sectional affair and now throughout
the length and breadth of this good land
of ours its advent is hailed with salts
faction and its claims to precedence in
its chosen field find universal acquies-
cence. It's an American show through

The indomitable energy, perseverance
and sticS-to-it-ive-ness Of the five broth
ers has borne its fruition and success
has come TO them in generous measure.

seens a far cry from the days a decade
ago when the FIVE boys, for boys they
were then, pitched their small tent, gave
their own performances, packed their
few small wagons. mounted the drivers
seat and drove overland to the next town
visited.
The story Of it all reads like a tale
Of fairy land, not a plain. prosaic recital
OF facts. Some day it will be written at
length and the story of their struggles
and merited success, their loyalty to self
and one another will not be dimmed by
comparison with the life story and strlfg-
giles Of any Of the great captains of in
dustry," who have overcome obstacles
and become leaders in divers fields of en-
deavor.
