Matter. Railroad and Express
Force Increased This Year

The Western Union Telegraph
Company took up the matter of adc-
quate facilities for conducting It's
business promptly and extensively
before the automobile races were
pulled of and made AS they thought
ample provision for doing so, the
calculation being based on last
years business allowing for II nat.
ural and healthy increase.
Tho local correspondents were for
the most part supcrscec,led TINS
year. the various papers sending
down from one to three corrcspOn-
dents on account of the increased i'm
portanrc of the races. The quantity
of matter sent ont by these reporters
collectively, demanded the presence
of several fly operators and these
were srcurcl. Miss Dixon, the az
combating local manager, has been
heavily taxed, and she worked Ikea

verified the adage: "Whcn wo-

BENEDICT ARNOLD.
The Tragic Ending Of the Life Of
the Talented Traitor.

The Tragic Ending Of the Life Of
the Talented Traitor.
The last twenty years Of the life Of
Benedict Arnold were probably the
most unhappy that ever fen to the
lot Of man. The British were willing
to use him to promote their own plans
and to pay him for his dlsgraccful
services, but everywhere 10 was held
In such scOrn and contempt that for
years he scarcely vcnturrd to appear
In public. Before his treachcry he
stipulated for a fortune In cash and Z
commission ~ major general IN the
British army.
lie got both and soon spent the
former In speculation, while the lat.
ter did him no good, as no officer IN
the army would serve under him. and,
although his talents and bravery were
unqucstioned, he remained to the end
Of his days Il general without com.
mand, even ut time when the British
government was sorcly pressed for
officers and men. In l70S, during the
French war, when the country was
anxiously gathering all It's resources,
he applied to the Duke Of York for
command, but was refused.
lie went home In despair and said
to his wife, "'rhcy will not let me find
soldiers DEATH" lie never rallied
after this blow, and soon after his
mind appeared to wander. lie ordered
his Continental uniform to be brought
and put It on, including the sword he
had worn when In the American serv.

VEGETABLES AND FRUITS SAFE,
Injury Done by Gold Wave to Orange
Trees Not as Great as at First
Supposed.

During the past few days many
well known and prominent Transport
tation men have visited various seq
tons of the state to see what tine
damage by the late cold wave
amounted to.
The refrigerator car company re-
ports that the lettuce and celery be-
ing raised on large scale at paIatka
is injured but little and they will
have to supply about as many cars
Us were at first estimated.
Orange trees in the st. Petersburg
section, which were at first reported
killed, have since been found to be
perfectly sound, the fruit even being
pronounced swcctcr and better than
before the cold.
In and around Daytona the major.
ity of the orange trees have lost their
leaves, and fruit unprotected was
frozen, but the trees were not MUIR
ed, due to the fact that the sap had
been driven to the roots by the cool
weather prevailing for two or three
days previously, Most Of the lettuce,
especially the younger, is killed, but
other vegetables suffered little, Many
orange, grapefruit and tangcrine
trees were not injured in the slight
est, the fruit even being as good as
it was previously,
j. E, Livingston, manager Of the
Shield grove, the largest near Day
tona, in a conversation with q DAILY
News reporter, said:
"All of my oranges and grapefruit
were saved by being gathered and
housed as quickly as possible,
Keeping them out of the sun and in
Il cool place is the only salvation for
damaged by cold, We
worked hard day and night, it j.
true, but we have the fruit. The
trees are uninjurcd and will put ont
all right, provided we get no rcpeii-
ton, but il warm weather comes
and the sap rises and then another
cold wave comes, the trees will be
wiped out and the labor of years
gone"
