A PROGRESSIVE FARMER.
Shows What Can be Done in
DeSoto.

T. f. Fielder of Gardner. ex-
sheriff Of DeSoto county, ls fast be-
coming one Of DeSoto's largest and
most successful farmers. He owns
one of the prettiest places in the
vicinity Of Gardner, having in cul~
tivation four acres in orange grove,
the trees laden with bloom and
young fruit. In addition to his
grove he has 50 acres planted n
various kinds Of vegetables. 10 acres
in beans, acres cukes, ~ acres
watermelons, and 20 acres 10 Irish
potatoes. 1t is not always a safe
proposition to count your chickens
before the eggs hatch, however, Mr..
Fielder assures us that at the lowest
estimate he should reap a harvest of
1000 crates beans, 1000 crates cukes,
and 800 barrels Irish potatoes, but
expects the crop to yield in excess of
this amount.
His crops are in remarkably fine
shape, not having had enough cold
TO injure or retard the growth of
any of his plants during the season.
1t is rather difficult at this stage of
the game to estimate what the
melon crop will be but the prospects
are good for a heavy yield. MIR
Fielder has set to work in the up
the country style of farming, having
employed the most modern and ups
to.date implements for the planting
cultivation and harvesting of his
crop, and not with the hoe, rake and
hand plow as 80 many Of our South
Florida farmers do. He first took
from the land he is cultivating all
the stumps, trees and roots. For
planting potatoes he uses a machine
that will distribute the potatoes any
distance desired from to 20 inches
and the same machine distributes
the fertilizer at the same time, and
has in transit a machine for digging
the potatoes.
Next season his crop will be much
larger than the present one, he lie
clearing another so acre tract and
next season the large portion of this
clearing will be planted III potatoes.
He also believes that it pays to raise
hogs and poultry, and has some very
fine breeds of hogs and has 100 hens
which he says nets him a clear
profit equal to 10 per cent interest
on $4,000.

Carnegie Library for Stetson.

DeLand, March 25.-Mr. An
drew Carnegie Of New York city,
has consented to give to Stetson
University $4,000 for library
building provided the University
raises an equal amount for its
maintenance in new endowment.
Mr.. Carnegie is opposed to giving
to institutions when the immediate
control is exercised through a de-
nominational convention or its
boards. 1t was explained to Mr..
Carnegie that the University is a
Baptist institution, that its presi-
dent and three-fourths of its trus-
tees must always be Baptists. That
Mr.. Stetson IN his previous gifts
stipulated that the buildings should
revert in case any incumbrance
should be placed on the property
or the Baptist control secured by
the charter be changed. Mr..
Stetson was fully aware of the
effort to secure the gift of Mr.. Car
negie and his offer of the 500, 900,
was made with the understanding
that a portion of it might be used
to cover Mr.. Carnegie's gilt if
needed.

A Shame.

On Monday afternoon, the 5th day
of this month. the editor of this pa
per and Senator Frank Adams stood
in the tax collectors office in the
court house at Miami in Dade county
waiting their turn to make inquiries
about taxes. An old woman was
waiting, likewise. When her tax re-
ceipt was written out and handed 10
her she remarked that there must be
some mistake as heretofore her taxes
had been between three and four dols
lars, and now it was between seven
and eight dollars. She was informed
by the tax collector that drainage
tax" had been imposed and that this
tax constituted the difference. The
tax collector further informed her
that some persons had refused to pay
this drainage tax" but that his in
structions we're, not to issue receipt
unless such tax was paid. The old
woman said she couldn't go to law.
that she. would pay it, but not hav
ing money enough she would leave
receipt and return for it uaxt day.
She then departed. This Occurrence
was after the decision of the United
States district court had declared
the act creating the Drainage Com,
mission had no power TO assess and
collect taxes. This drainage tax"
lie still being collected in Dade county
from the poor and ignorant and help
less. The very ones who should be
~ .ected by the law are robbed un-
lder forms of law, about the illegality
pf which they know nothing. 1t is a
fearful state of affairs when those TO
Whom is entrusted the execution of
the laws ignore the laws and Cypress

4hnd poverty. 1t is a shame. A brutal

GOT THE TIGER
Officers Get the Man who Ran the
Place

On last Sunday, a negro named
Will Graham, who is well known TO
a great many of our citizens and
especially to the officials of the tow n
and county was caught selling intox.
icating liquors and was promptly ar
rested by negro deputy and placed
in Jail. On Monday he was tried be-
fore Mayor Platt found guilty and
fined t25O.OO and go days at hard La
Dor on the streets of Arcadia, and in
default of the payment Of the $3.50. 90
an additional 60 days service was re-
CURED. 1t will be- remembered that
this same negro was convicted for
like offense at the fall term of the
circuit court and fined $3.50 90 which
amount was paid by some one who
thought he could make the negro res
form and work out the amount,
which as a matter of reason he did
not do. 1t is a bad proposition to
buy out this class of criminals, for it
seems that when a person once gets
into the habit of selling whiskey it is
hard to overcome, as it is, in their es-
timation an easy way to make
money.

AN UNMERCIFUL ACT
Two Men Drive Horse in Brutal
Manner.

On last Sunday Billie and Robert
Smith hired horse from Hooker's
stable and drove it numerically
which resulted in the death Of the
animal in about an hour after it was
returned TO the stable. Such act as
this is criminal and should be punish
ed 10 the full extent of the law. The
law in Florida does not provide a
punishment severe enough for such
criminals. 1t is bad enough to im-
pose on something that has at least
some protection but it il worse than
cruel to treat a dumb brute in this
manner.
