The railroad men of this country are
good and patriotic citizens; they are
representative members of he COM
munities in which they reside; they
stand for a class of working men who
generally think before they act, who
weigh both sides Of question before
deciding. They are as anxious to
cleanse corporate life from graft and
fsvoritism as the most radical modern
IeformeI, but they will resent, and
that most strenuously, any course of
policy outlined by those who have the
destinies of the nation in hand that
will tend to kill the goose that lays
the pay check.

Prepars tions are being made at the
Department of Commerce and Labor at
Washington, to enforce the naturali-
zatlon law just enacted. The law IS
drastic, and provides safeguards
against frauds that have been pIepe-
tsted IN the past as a result Of lax
methods in comforting citizenship
Jurisdiction to naturallze aliens Is
conferred upon United States Circuit
and District courts and the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia; dl-
so all courts of record In any State OF
Territory, having a seal, a clerk and
jurisdiction in actions at law and
equity, or law and equity IN which
the amount in controversy is unlimit-
ed. 1t provides tha an alien as a pre-
eu uuislte to citizenship shall speak Eng
lish. An important provision of the
law is this:
THAT no person shall be naturallz
ed, nor shall any certificate Of natural
izaton be issued by any court within
thirty days preceding the holding Of
any general election within its terri
torIal jurisdiction.
Two years notice of intention to be-
come a citizen is required.

Persons who have soreness of the

Hot water will relieve thirst better

it should not be condemned. But hot

Shipping Potatoes.

The St Augustine Record prints an
interesting account of the success of
the potato growers at and near Hast
ings. There is no question that they
are doing well this season. The actual
facts are wonderful enough without
exaggeration. When the writer says
that there is no known fruit or vege-
table that cannot be produced on the
East Coast, it is claiming too much.
The soil and climate will, in skill
full hands, produce very remarkable
results. But we have never heard of
any of them producing rhubarb pie?
plant), nor cherries, gOOseberrieS, cur
rants, cranberries at all nor raspber
ries proftably. The people of the East
Coast have a good thing, let them not
do their section an injury by claiming
more than they can fulfil.
There is no buster place in the state
of Florida at the present time than
the Irish potato section in this county
The work of digging and shipping the
tubers to the Northern markets is now
in full swing. At Hastings there are
about 5000 acres in potatoes this
year. At ElktOn and vicinity there
are something over 300 acres, and at
intermediate points between st. Au-
gustine and East Palatka are several
smaller plantations. All of this land
is yielding good returns, but not equal
in amount to the crop of last year
The quality, however, is first class in
every respect, the potatoes coming out
of the ground in splendid condition.
Most of the planters this year will
make big money, although there are a
few who will hardly pay expenses.
Where this is the case, it is generally
The Florida agriculturist., 1906-05-16

it is only one step from insincerity and
a calculated and selfish refinement to
hypocrisy. Genuine good will, kind
ness of heart and helpfulness of heart
and hand are the true foundations for
gentility.
No one can have failed to observe in
some persons a certain distinction of
manner that is almost indescribable.
1t is Oftener to be seen in elderly than
in young people; and, we sometimes
fancy, more frequently among New
Opr country. 1t is by no means certain
that this delicate flavor of courtliness
and elegance of manner is disappear
ing from modern ways of living; and
it would not be safe to say that such
results can be obtained by cultivation.
No one will deny, however, that it is
something to be desired.
Two "H's' enter into the best man.
ners-Habit and Heart; and a third
one should not be omitted, and that
is that they begin at Home. In other
words, true distinction of manner is
the flower Of a good unselfish life,
lived, in the first instance, with father,
mother, brothers, sisters, friends, hus-
band, wife, children, neighbors; and,
becoming habitual, naturally extenb-
ed to all of ones intercourse with this
fellow beings. 1t always grows from
a root of genuineness, and is gained
more frequently in the line of actual
duty, without the owner being aware
of it, than by consciously seeking it.
In fact, a disagreeable oiliness or
righteousness of manner results from
too assiduOusly striving to be polite.
The better rule is to be good citizen,
a good brother Or sister, good friend
or neighbOr, a good workman in what
ever you undertake; and if you are all
these, the refinement of manner will
come without your knowing it, and
will then be a true adOrnment.

is any farmer in the North who has
doubts regarding the possibilities of
Florida as a general farming country,
he should pay Il visit to Hastings,
where he could be convinced that this
state has more to offer to the farmer
than any other state in the Union.
For there is no known product of the
land, fruit, vegetable, animal or fowl
that cannot be successfully produced
or prOpagated on the Florida East

Gentility on the Farm.

Tt is not so very long since it was
not considered genteel to be a farmer.
We are thankful that that day is past.
The Wisconsin Farmer says:
The wood peasant never took root
in the speech of free America; and
the rustic of Aesop's fables and
other literature of far by-gOne days
never exhibited his clOwnish and stu
pid antics on the stage of American
life. There used to be a tendency on
the part of snObbfsh people in cities
and towns and probably still more
small villages, to ridicule the dress,
manners, language and ideas of cOun-
try people; but it has disappeared dur
ing the past generation and it is now
admitted by well-bred people that
higher standard of both manners and
morals prevails in the rural districts
than among city people. This of
course, relates to averages; for there
are Doors among all classes of people,
no matter where they reside. There is
now more of disposition among GER
tain classes to recognize the land own
ers of the country as nascent aris-
tOcracy than to belittle their import
ance or deride their modes of living.
This is, however, an age of progress;
and there is abundant room for i'm
prOvement in every part and phase of
modern life and in nothing more than
in the cOurtesies which are made so
much of in the old world and relative
ly so little valued in our more demo
cratic country. There is philosophy
of good manners in which every Amer
lean boy and girl should become vers-
ed; for a knowledge and practice of it
would add greatly to their own happi-
ness and, by that sign, to their capaci-
ty for contributing to the happiness of
others.
1t is not improper to appeal to self
interest as a motive for cultivating Do
likeness. The greatest of all teachers
held up to his disciples the personal
rewards to accrue to those who prac-
tlced the virtues he inculcated. And
yet it is on that ground that the stu
dent of good manners will find his
most dangerous pitfalls. Really fine
demeanor never makes a design to
gain selfish advantage. Hypocrisy
is the most contemplate of vices: and

At ElktOn, on Fairview Farm, the

son.
AS this is practically a newly de-
velOped potato section the names of
those at present engaged in the potato
business are given other than the two
above mentioned gentlemen: James

acres; Tony Masters and Joseph Mas

man, 2 acres.
At Hastings the individual acreage
is much larger than the average at
Elkton. 1t would be impossible at this
time to give the names of all those en-
gagged in the business. Among the
most prominent growers are Frank
E. Bugbee, the Florida Vegetable Co.,
the Buckeye Farm, J. w. Estes, r. B.

Day before yesterday 21 cars were

nearest to the station, and drive
through the cultivated section lying
farther back reveals sea of green
covered hundreds of acres of land. Be
meath all of this green lie the pOta
toes which are to bring wealth to
Hastings. The smile on the face of
the planter is a good indication that
this years results will be very graft
flying indeed.
One of the best diversified farms at
Hastings is that of Frank e. Bugbee,
for here everything pertaining. to a
first-class farm is found. Not only
are immense quantities of potatoes
grown, but also corn, peas, velvet
beans, and all kinds of vegetables.
This year an experiment has been
made with strawberries and the re
suits have been remarkably satisfac-
tory. Mr.. Bugbee has large number
of orange and other fruit trees that
are putting on a splendid growth.
The Bugbee farm carries a large
herd of cattle and big drove of hogs
These are all handled through the
