Norfolk, Va, Oct. 3.-The District
q Columbia is making plans for q
worthy representation at the James
town Exposition which is to be held
near Norfolk. Va. in 1904 The dis
trict wants to get on the map as a
good place to live and its business
men urged by the Washington news
papers propose to place it's claims
before the people by some effective
advertising at the great exposition
which lies just at our nations CAPT
tails front door.
The prospect for an enormous at
tendance at the celebration of our
TerCentennial is SO fiattering that
tue press is taking note of it SER
ionsly and an opportunity to get be-
fore eleven to fifteen million of peo-
pie is so extraordinary that it cannot
be overlooked.
Washington is just now awakening
20 great business and industrial re
vival which promises rapid and sub
stantial growth and the business men
cf the district propose to foster this
impetus to the end that the capital
may be something more than a resi-
dence place for ONCE holders and pol
i<icians.
washington, II not already so, will
one day be the most beautiful cap
ital In the world, and as it grows in
beauty, so II may grow in commercial
importance, If its active business men
can bring this about. They want a
city that will supply its own needs
and employ it's own youth"
The plans at Jamestown employ an
expenditure Of at least $4,000 and
probably $4,000 of which is to be
asked Of congress and the balance
TO be raised by subscription. A great
club house. of beautiful construction
md supplied with every creature

templated, that all who come may be

ritality. as well as having pointed out

Of the capital city from every point
or view, in fact, to show on canvas

Ter. tt that the people taker in their
national capital is. OF course, always
great. and such an ehibit would un-
doubtedly interest and attract every
visitor to this exposition.

PACKERS AGREE ON LABELS.
Packers Who Do Not Keep Plants
in First Class Sanitary Condition
Will Not be Allowed to Use Labels
Laws Will BE RigidIy Enforced.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 1.-After
numerous conferences about 40 rep
resentatives of the various meat
packing houses have agreed with
Secretary Wilson on labels, which un-
der the law must be put on meat
products after this date. Throughout
Secretary Wilson stood for labels
that would exactly state what the
package contained, and this the
packers have finally accepted, with
a compromise that a percentage Of
different meats contained in any
canned article put under one name
need not be stated.
Secretary Wilson, of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, says of the new
meat inspection law:
'The new law will be enforced
strictly. We have an appropriation
of $3,000,000 year to enforce it and
we will have enough inspectors.
Packers who do not keep their plants
strictly clean, who will allow uuclean
habits among their workmen or who
fail to produce meat products under
the most sanitary conditions will not
get the government label.
This means that they will not be
allowed to ship their goods, and, in
view of the recent agitation, am
reasonably certain that no packer
will be suicidal enough to throw the
slightest hindrance in the way of
in inspection of the products and SUI
pervision of the manufacture from
the time the stock enters the yards
on the hoofs until it leaves in the
form of food.
There will be no controversy by
the Department of Agriculture with
packers. If they do not want our in.
spectors keep a close watch on ev-
ely detail of manufacture, that is
their outlook, but in such cases they
will get no labels.
Il want to emphasize the fact that
there is going to be different kind
of inspection at the yards under the
new law. 1t will be more complete
and more systematic and the regu
lations will r enforced more rigid
ly."
The secretary said there was a
great many independent packing
houses in the United States, concerns
representing investments of be-
tween 100000 and 100000 each.
which the big packers called small"
where there were no inspectors at
present. These win be supplied with.
inspectors now.

1t is difficult matter to find the
truth in some matters of Florida his
tory.
In regard to the birthplace and
parentage of the celebrated Indian,
Osceola. there is such a diversity of
statements by historians that they
only confuse instead of enlighten.
In last Sundays Savannah Morning
News Col. Sidney Herbert Lansing,
of Maitland, Fla, says that Osceola
was born in Alabama, that his father
was an Englishman and his mothers
name was Polly.
Rev. Handen Cheshire, deceased
only few years ago, and who was
well known to all our older citizens
as man of undoubted yeracity, told
our editor the following story con-
cerning Osceola.
Rev. Cheshire came to Hamilton
county about 1895, when he was
about 10 years old, and Osceola's s
parents were then living near the
spring which Is in Tom Edwards field
between the homestead and the G. s.
& F. railway. Osceola was then about
13 or IA years old. His father was
Bill Powell is regular eorgia crack
er, and his mother was a full blooded
Indian by the name of Sallie Maree.
Osceola, was born on the Okeefeeho-
kee swamp, but whether on the Geor-
gia or Florida side of the State line,
Rev. Cheshire did not know. Osceola
grew to manhood and married in this
cunty. One day himself, family and
a number of other Indians were at
White Springs in this county. Osceo-
la was lying down in the shade of
a tree with his baby playing on his
breast. Some white men shot into
the crowd of Indians from across the
river and killed the baby, hence his
intense hostility to the white people.
) This is the substance Of the story
related by Rev. Cheshire to our ed
itor and the late Judge H. ]. Stewart.
Rev. Cheshire knew Osceola well and
we believe his statement to be true in
very particular

Mr.. William Randolph Hearst had
a great ratification meeting in New
Yotk city Friday night--the greatest
ever held in that city. 1t is estimated
that there were forty thousand pres
ent. Mr.. Hearst has not the magne-
tism nor eloquence of Mr.. Bryan but
has fetching wa. c1--vine the
crowds with him. The only charge
urged against this marvellous young
mc- h- the New York republican
press is To; he spends his money
but no newspaper has yet charged
that he has spent one cent other than
his own. The republican party has
travelled all routes and exploited all
schemes in its efforts to raise cam
paign funds to secure its ends, so
its holding up its hands in holy hor-
ror at Hearst for doing the same
thing is mere pretense and stage
acting.

FLORIDA pHosPHATEs.
The Rainy Season now oyer-ship-
nsnss of Rock for Last Ysar-
items Of Interest.


The Florida miners are pleased to
believe, and the belief is backed by
most fervent hopes, that, for the
greater part, the rainy season is
over. For the past three months
they have been deluged, but are be-
ginning to see daylight again The
rains this year have been the heav-
lest in the history of phosphate min
ing in Florida, and damages and de-
lays have been far in excess OF past
years.
When the rains cease, however
that is not always the end of the diff
ficulties with which the miners
have to contend. The floods have
caused the rivers and lakes torise
to unprecedented heights, and have
also raised the working level IN the
pits. The Withlacoochee river recent
ly broke into large mine in the
Dunnellon district, causing all work
to be abandoned until the waters re-
,cede.
For the sake of comparison, a
table of the precipitation for the
months of May, June and July, in
the years 1904, 1905 and 1906, is here
to attached.

After the ground has been prepared
peas are sown in the>vast beds like so
much wheat. In fact, wheat drills are
used in this operation. When the vines
are half-foot high cultivator of the
kind used in cultivating corn is run be-
tween the rows and the earth is
thrown up about the stalks, thus also
leaving irrigating channels. All such
channels connect with large irriga-

The harvesting of peas is done in
the order of the planting. It is the
rule to plant but certain number of
acres a day, in order that the crop will
mot all mature at once and that the
harvesting may follow day after day
at just the right time When the har-
vest begins the mowers first enter
the fields with machines, which cut off
the vines just beneath the ground. In
