SUDDEN DEATH OF
REV. {. A.FULWOOD

Rev. Charles A. Fulwood, of Miami,
one of the patrarchs of the Florida
Methodist Conference, fell dead in the
Ocala church last Thurday morning.
Mr.. FulwOod was born in Georgia,
II years ago, and at an early age joined
the Georgia conference. He was trans
ferred to the Florida conference in 1871,
and has been preaching in this State
ever since, having occupied some of the
most important pulpits in the State,
both as pastor and as presiding elder.
Mr.. Fulwood was addressing the con-
ference, asking for the privilege of be-
ing superannuated, and telling of his
experiences as a Methodist preacher of
how long he had occupied the pulpit and
of his great love for the church. He
said that he regretted being compe led
to ask to be superannuated, but that
failing health made it necessary for him
to take this step. He said that he had
been to Georgia on a vacation, and was
greatly benefited, but that he felt too
feeble to undertake u pastorate for the
coming year. There were tears in his
eyes, and the scene became so pathetic
that all of the preachers gathered around
and shook his hand, and the tension and
excitement was SO intense that he was
attacked by heart failure and fell to
the floor, and all efforts to revive him
failed.
Mr.. Fulwood was accompanied by his
wife, who was in the church ut the time
of his death.
The body, followed by the bishop and
large number of the preachers. was
taken to the undertaking parlors OF
Mclver 4 Mackay, where it was pre-
pared for burial, and was taken to Tai
iahassee for interment accompanied by
Reverends Bingham and Honiker, and
Mrs. FulwOOd

riages and drove through White City to
the st. Lucie river, where they boarded
a launch and made the run down the

been done on the st. Lucie river to
lower the water in that stream during
the wet weather, as well as to view the
work on the extension Of the road

Notes from the Fish Dock.

Fred Wins, fishing for the East Coast
Fish company, made l9I-pound haul
of pompano with a 7O0-yard net one
night last week. This is the best catch
of pompano made this year, it is said,
and everything considered, is probably
an extraordinary one for any time in
recent years, as these fish are getting
scarcer every year.
Frank and Louis Depew got three
boat loads of fish one night recently in
one hanl The net was so full and
heavy that it could not all be put in
their boat "The Tribune at once, and
had to be cut in three sections. and as
many trips made to the fish house, be-
fore the catch was all taken in. In all
about 5000 pounds We're taken-onc
nights work that added $50 or more to
the wealth of the Depews
The fish shipments for the past two
weeks were BPS IL barrels only 90 IL
of which were sent out in the last seven
days. The heaviest shipments were
made on the 9TH, when 10 barrels went

PALMETTO CROP CONDITIONS
Weather and Crop Conditions as View
ed hv the DEPARTMENT.

The week ending Monday morning,
April oath, averaged much cooler than
usual, especitlly during the first three
days, with slow rising temperatures
until Saturday when maximum above
80 degrees was recorded in the SOUTH
eastern counties The lowest for the
week was 2S at Greenville on the 18th.
The week closed with temperatures
considerably below normal.
There were general showers and
thunderstorms on the 21st, with hail
in the central counties, but the rainfall
was very light in the extreme western
and the southeastern counties, where
the need Of rain is indicated. There
WAS no damage by hail.
Full reports on the damage to fruit,
vegetables and field crops by the
freeze and frost Of the 18th and 18th,
indicate severe and extensive injury to
peaches, anples, plums and other
fruits in the western counties, especial
ly on low lands where the destruction
was practically total; in the central
counties and in the commercial peach
raising districts the damage was Sc
rious, but not total destruction at any
point; while in the eastern and south
eastern counties the damage to fruit
was slight. Garden truck was largely
destroyed in all sections, except in the
coast truck regions, where the damage
was not material, although thin ice was
noted within about twenty miles Of the
coast. Corn that was up was nearly all
cut to the ground, but only a small
proportion of it will need to bc re-
planted. A few reports indicate that
wheat and oats were injured. The
large majority reports both grains all
right and still promising. Tobacco
that was set out was only slightly dam
aged HWatermelons, cucumbers and
like field crops were practically all de-
stroyed and will be replanted.
Many Of the correspondents state
that it is too early to determine the
extent cf the damage to peaches as Lne
fruit is dropping rapidly.
The weather was generally favorable
for farm work and rapid progress was
made in cotton planting. 1t was too
cold for favorable termination and
growth. Corn looks yellow and sick
ly. Early corn is being cultivated;
cut worms are numerous in many
places. Transplanting tobacco was de-
layed by the cool weather, but towards
the close of the week made fair proS-
ress. Cotton planting is nearly fin
ished in the eastern part of the State
and about half finished in the west
ern part, where the season is later than
usual.
