the same sort and Importance, the
tendency now is toward a concentra-
tjon of the business at the most at
tractive and easily accessible points.
Railroad building has transformed the
tourist map of the state almost COM
pletely in the past twenty years; and
the magnificent hotels of the Ameri-
can Riviera on the east coast and the
fine but less pretentious chain along
the gulf coast country have so attract
ed patronage as to have left the ST.
Johns river, the Ocklawaha and the
middle peninsula and lake country
resorts in practically the same condi-
ton as they were in the early eigh-
ties. Progress and improvement In
tourist attractions have followed the
coast line chiefly.
Florida in winter is no longer a
swarming spot for "sick Yankees" 1t
is rather a Mecca for the golfers and
automobilists of the entire country;
for the yachtsman, the hunter and the
fisherman; for the danes and sQuires

STILL IN THE RING.

After the race comes the glory. We
take pleasure in informing our friends
and patrons that We will continue
running excursions TO the Island and
surrounding points of interest every
day at 10 o'clock and o'clock, the
weather permitting. We also wish TO
state that we are in position to let
the public know what we have got in
the shape of launches. This is our
first attempt at racing, but we are not
discouraged in the least, and believe
confidently that for a steady-working,
reliable vessel, we have the best in

much longer than usual this winter
the late incidence of Easter. Oh
April 23d. Thus il happens that the
invalid and the butterfly population Of
the North is fiocking TO Florida in
myriads these days. and it is most
likely that the mayfiowers will be in
bloom in New England long before the
last loiterer viii have turned his back
on the magnolia bloom, the jessamine
and the orange blossoms of the land
of Ponce de Leon. Everything ausurs
a good season, a big" season, a long
season at most of the great Southern

potatoee Paw in Florida.

Our visit TO Gardner would have
been incomplete without a visit to ex-
Sheriff T. E. Fielder's potato farm.
An unusual sight in this section of
Florida is to see 81 acres of hand in
one vegetable crop This is what Mr.
Fielder has planted In Irish potatoes
This paying crop is now coming up
and presents very pretty appearance
The stand is remarkably good and the
indications are that he will make a
record breaking crop
To plant 81 acres in potatoes is a
big undertaking for the average Flori-
da farmer and no small outlay of cap
ital is necessary.
Aside from the cost OF clearing his
land, removing stumps and trash
and placing it in its present excellent
condition, the fertilizer used in this
crop consisted of so tons at an aver
age price of a little over $50 per tor,
or over 1880. Two hundred sacks
of seed potatoes costing $61S were US
ed, and this runs the cost of planting
up to over $4,000 without mentioning
the labor.
Still it is a sure thing that Mr..
Fielder will make money on this crop,
aDd sSOOd money, too. Under the
most unfavOrable circumstances he
should gather at least 1000 barrels
of potatoes which will sell readily at
from $3.50 to 81 per barrel. If every
thing is favorable Mr. Fielder expects
to get 1000 barrels and should they
sell at 81 he will realize the tidy SUM
of $4,000 for his crop. Even though
they only sold for $3.50 or So per bar
rel he would still make good money,
but it is hardly possible that the price
will go lower than $3.50 as this crop
will come in 80 days ahead of the
Hastings and other crops and will get
the cream prices on the market.

sentimental interest in the fact that
an effort is now being made to raise
funds to erect a monument over the
grave of Stephen Foster, the author
of Way Down Upon the S'wannee

and more than a little of the charm

sweet and simple old ballad whose

monument to the memory OF the

Besides these passenger trains
there are more freight trains than ever

There is almost a continual entrance

A railroad official said today there
were over 600 movements of switch
engines between the depOts and Myr-

and tons of freight come and go every

JUNGLE JOE WANTS 4 poLIcY.
In the National Life of Vermont After
Haskins Told Of It,

Washington. D. G., Dec 81. Repre-
sentative Haskins made a stirring speech
in the Houae yesterday in which he dis
cussed that portion of the presidents
message relating to federal control Of
insurance, taking the ground that the
made no provision for such
control Hnskins said tnat in Vermont
federal control of banks was not SO sue
ccssful as state supervision showing that
savings banks never failed although the
state had ~ for $4,000 inhabitants while
FIVE OF the 40 national bands had in a
few years of time become insolvent, al
though under federal supervision. In
suranee, he said, is not Interstate com
merce, and il it was the business OF
savings banks would also be.
Haskins then paid a high compliment
to the National Life Of Vermont, found
cd by the father Of Admiral Dewey,
and to its president, who, although paid
bu $4,000 salary, is one Of the best in
the country.
Haskins received many corgratula-
tions. Champ Clark of Missouri and
others said they wanted policies in that
Vermont company OF which he told.
Speaker Cannon, who was on the floor,
congratulated Haskins, and said: 4 am
with you.

But E. [. Reynolds Was Strong
Enough to Save Himself
FROM SERIOUS INJURY
Accident at Jones Bros.'-Donald Leith
Struck in Face by Flying Saw
and Was Badly Cut
Yesterday.

Edmund L. Reynolds, machinist at
Jones Brothers, Company's plant, bad
close call from death or serious injury
yesterday while repairing break in
the n,ahcinery OF the travelling crane.
A stone was being moved by the der
rick and something broke so that it
could not be dropped by the usual meth
cd Of pulling lever Mr.. Reynolds and
the derrickmen went up onto the crane
to try to lower the stone by hand. They
had succeeded in getting il almost to the
bottom when suddenly something loose
about Mr.. REYNOLDS overalls became en-
tangled in the shafting. Mr.. Reynolds
had presence of mind enough TO grab n
cross piece on the crane and hang on
for dear life while his clothes wound up
in the shafting, tearing bis oyefalla,
trousers and drawers completely of Of
him, along with the skin of his right
limb from his knee 10 the thigh Mr..
Reynolds was able to hold on until his
clothes were torn off him and then the
terrible ordeal was over. He il d very
strong man. which fact probably saved
his life, as the grip of the shafting wind
ing up his clothes was very great.
The accident occurred about closing
time last evening and Mr.. Reynolds
borrowed some clothes and rode home
on the ear as usual, feeling very grateful
that it was not an ambnlapce. He went
TO work as usual this morning.
