70 the Editor of the Ocala Banner:
Perhaps your readers may be inter-
ested in knowing that in 1908 East
lake did not ship box of oranges by
express. Through the personal eff
forts of Mr.. w. E. Fosnot, the pro-
prietor of the boat service on Lake
Weir, an Office of the Southern Ex-
press company was established here,
and during October, November and
December, 1904, only fifteen boxes of
oranges were sent by express. The
hrst shipment made was Oct. %, 1904,
when two boxes were forwarded.
Beginning with Oct. IL, 1905, the
first fruit started north. From the
18th to the 22nd of October, SO boxes,
of 80 pounds each, have been sent-a
total of 664O pounds in ten days. A
few boxes of grapefruit are included
10 the lot.
Mr.. Carter. recently from Webster,
having been assigned to duty as agent
for the Atlantic Coast Line here, and
with telegraphic communication now
opened up to the outside world. Cap
tain FOsnot has rendered his resigua-
tion as express agent in favor of Mr..
Carter, which will enable him to de-
vote more time to the development
of the Lake Weir steamer service and
improvements OH his own property.
With the Woodmar resort only a
short distance away, where Mr.. Chas.
+. Schneider has force of hands en-
plnyed for the purpose of still further
adding TO the attractions of that
place, AND the west side CT Lake
Weir having joined forces as the
Carney Investment Company"
where several carloads of fruit have
already been taken by steamer to the
new metropolis for transfer to east
ern markets, and with the removal of
buildings to the north shore and the
laying out of other grounds for i'm
provement in the near future, the
building and repairing docks, ware
houses, etc, begins to make one feel
as though We may ask you TO come
and see us.

Everything in our little berg is run
ming smoothly. The cool weather OF
the past week has greatly decreased
the fever situation in this section.
DIR. Smith, OF Ocala, passed through
GaiteryiIle, last Sunday, en- route to
j. D. Robertson's turpentine still, in
Citrus county, where he is attending
several fever patients among whom
is Mr.. J. E. Brooks, who is improv-
ing. We hope to see him up again
soon.
Notwithstanding the large amount
of sickness here, the school has made
q good average and is progressing
nicely.
Messrs. G. NJ. Whitton and j. G..
Rucker made q business trip to the
mining city Saturday.
Mr.. G. o. Turner and his sister,
Mrs. r. D. Stokes, were visiting rela-
tives in the Ocala neighborhood last
Sunday and Monday.
One of our young men has evident
ly found wonderful magnetism in a
certain locality down the river. We
wish him every success in his long
journeys.
Mr.. John de Brass has expressed an
intention of leaving Gaiterville. We
hope he is only joking.
The Sunday School is progressing
slowly here of late. The attendance,
Sunday, was small: we hope, howev-
er, it will increase with the improve
ment in the fever situation.
We hear it whispered that sombody
got lost Sunday. If they did, guess
they were safely rescued, as we see
their work is going on just 6he same.
Seems as if there are some who OPP
pose the wet and dry election. Some
hard blows have already been struck
and there are harder ones to come.

man and his hack was secured, but as
the congressional party were just
enough to occupy the inside seats the
hackman asked us if we had any OBJ
lection to riding on the outside seat
with the driver. He saw that we
were green" and acted accordingly.
He spoke very confidentially and
persuasively. He said that il was a
very beautiful night and we would be
able to see the sights of the great
city as they appeared at midnight un-
der the glare of the lamplight. We
of course readily consented to occupy
the seat with the driver.
We had not gone a very great dis
lance before the horses stopped and
the driver urged us to dismount quick
ly. AS soon as we did so he popped
his whip and before we realized it the
hack and congressional party were of
and out of hearing, ana we were left
in the middle of the street with the
hackman.
We realized at once that We were
up against tough proposition.
The hackman claimed that he had
misunderstood us entirely, but that
the hotel Tito which he Immediately
began to take our trunk was a nice
one, and he assured US that we would
pass most comfortable night.
We followed him into the hotel and
he demanded ten dollars for his pay,
saving that the usual price was twelve
dollars.
There were a lot of sailors sitting
around table smoking their pipes,
and when we objected to the pay
ment of the bill these sailors got up
from their seats and formed a circle
around US, and declared positively
that ten dollars was less than the
customary price and that the hack
man must be paid for his services.
We realized that we were in a trap
and consented to paw the price but
first suggested that if it were hotel
we wanted to register and secure a
room.
While the CLERK was hunting around
for register and the hackman and
his friends were off their guard we
bolted for the door and ran up the
street as fast as our legs could carry
US, not forgetting, however, to re
member the number of the building.
In New York in those days there
was drug store on nearly every cor
ner and they were kept open all night
We entered one of these stores
about two blocks away and told the
clerk our tale of woe.'' He took no
interest in the relation of the story
whatever. He did not Say either yea
| or nay. But there happened to be a
fireman in uniform standing near and
he told US that he had experienced
the same treatment when he first
landed i'll New York years before. He
been taken was a sailors boarding
house and had the reputation of being
the vilest place in the city; that if we
had remained there all night we
would probably have been murdered,
and certainly would have been robb-
ed.
During the course of conversation
| the fireman asked us if we had left
| our money in the trunk or not, and
| for fear that We had already been
| robbed we pulled out our pocketbook
and showed it to him.
The thought instantly occurred to
US that we had Numbered.
| The fireman told US that that the
sergeant at the nearest police head
! quarters was a friend of his, that he
| would go with us there and have the
sergeant detail squad of policemen
: to go with us to the sailors boarding

for two hours to-day and then dropped
without ruling on the question Several
senate leaders took up the subject On
account of the delicaCy of the question the
debate was naturally not as open as would
he necessary for final determination of the
matter. Mr. Bailey raised the point of
inquirng of Mr.. Hale when the latter pre-
scented the new list Of standing commit
tees whether every senator had been pro-
rided with a place. Mr.. Hale responded
that every senator except Mir. Burton of
Kansas had been given assignments and
that he had been left on the committees at
his own request until the charges against
him had been disposed OF.
Mr.. Baily protested any senator's name
being kept ON the roll unless he was given
work to do and argued that it is the duty
of the senate to itself, to Kansas and to
the country to investigate the charges
against Mr.. Burton and determine whether
lie is entitled to a seat in the senate.

lowing the precedent established by the
English Parliament in not taking cogni-
zance of charges against a member until
the charges had heen determined in the
courts. Messrs. Hale, Spooner, Lodge and
Daniel were of this opinion. Mr.. Bailey,
calling attention to the fact that there
| had been five senators indicted in the last
| ten years, all on charges implying that
crimes had been committed for money
said the time had arrived when the senate
| should testify that this is mo place to
| come to make money dishonesty"
He complained that senators who behave

! those who do not, through being subjected
! to ridicule and iests.

| Mr.. Daniel said that any person who
would originate a plan to protect the sen.

| did not think the senate suffered by un
