GREAT LUMBER DEAL.
Involves 100000, 900 Feet of Lumber
and 100000.

Townsville, Ca, July ga deal
involving 100000, 250,000,000 feet of
lumber and 10000 acres of land was
closed Saturday by ]. L. Philips &
Co. This is probably the largest lum-
Der deal in the history of this section
of the country. This land is located
near Tallahassee, Fla, and was pur-
chased from Vereen & Smith of Moul-
trie and William Godfrey & Co., of
Cheraw, s. c. The largest portion of
the timber is round virgin and is sub
ject to turpentine lease. The deal car
ries with it land, timber and all. A
small portion of the deal is for timber
only, which has been turpentined
This is one of the largest blocks
of round timber not subject to tur-
pentine lease in this section.
]. L. Philips e. Co. will begin i'm
mediately the erection of sawmills to
manufacture this timber. They will
cut about 25,000,000 feet per year, and
this, in connection with their mill in
Alabama and other mills in west
Florida, will give an annual produc-
tion of about 100000 feet per year
from their own mills. The wholesale
business of this concern gives the
company a capacity of about 100000
900 feet yearly.
In connection with this deal a char
ter for the Tallahassee Sawmill Com
pany is now being applied for in the
superior court of this county. The Pc
titioners for the charter are ]. L. Phil

The Pan-American Congress.

Special to the Ocala Banner:
Rio de Janeiro, July 24.-The third
Pan-American congress which was
formally opened here last week, met
again today to conclude the prelimi-
naries, before the actual work of the
congress is taken up. Some of the
most important preliminaries have
already been settled by the congress
and the rest will undoubtedly be ar
ranged this week. The proposition
has been definitely adopted that the
congress will close on September 1,
regardless of unfinished business
which may be on hand at that time.
II is expected that a five-minute
rule will be adopted for the deliber-
atoms Of the congress, thus making
1t possible to prevent interminable
debate on the many questions to be
considered. which will doubtless pro-
woke a great variety Of opinions. Del
egates who have propositions to lay
Defore the congress Will be granted
thirty minutes for an opening ad-
dress, but after the subject has been
formally presented to the congress,
the addresses are to be limited to FIVE
minutes.
In number of important details
the rules Of the congress will mate
rally differ from those of the first
two congresses. The purpose of the
change is merely to prevent entangle-
ments which might result from pro-
longed discussion of subjects on
which there is great division OF senti-
ment.
The u. 8. cruiser Charleston is ex-
pected here tomorrow and everything
is in readiness for the reception of
Secretary Root and his wife and
daughter, who will remain here twelve
days and will be Hospitality enter

tions have been arranged in honor

The Tampa State Fair.
Tampa, Fla, July 25, 10


Special to the Ocala Banner:
The Florida State Fair, which will
be held at Tampa, November IA to
20, this year, will eclipse in every
department the fair of last year, which
proved superior to any state fair held
in the south. President Brown, in or
der that all counties and sections may
be placed on an absolutely equal ba-
sis, has decided on this excellent
plan: The state will be divided into
four divisions-West Florida, East
Florida, Middle Florida, and South
Florida. The counties in these Sec
tons will compete among themselves
for the honor of being the banner
county of their respective sections,
for which handsome banner and a
cash prize of $500 will be given to
the winner. The four winners will
compete for the grand first prize of
$1,000, and the winner will be desig-
mated as the banner county of the
state. This plan is necessary by rea-
son of the fact that the vast area
of Florida makes the products SO di-
versified that a county in one section
of the state cannot well be placed in
competition with a county in another
section. The counties will be divided
as follows:
West Florida: Escambia, Santa
Rosa, Walton, Holmes, jackson, Wash
ington, Calhoun, Liberty, Franklin,
Gadsden, Wakulla, Leon, Jefferson,
Madison, Taylor, Hamilton, Suwan-
nee, Lafayette, Columbia, Baker, Mid
die Florida: Nassau, Duval, Clay,
Bradford, Alachua, Putnam, Levy,
Marion, Lake, Sumter, Citrus. East
Florida: st. Johns. Brevard, st. Lucie,
Dade, Munroe. South Florida; Lee, De
Soto, Manatee, Polk, fernando, Pas
co, Hillsborough, Osceola, Orange.
No county in Florida should fail to
be represented in the departments of
exhibition, and the county commits
sioners should act at once.

If it be true that much learning
causes madness, Washington escapes
the soft impeachment, according to
the last report on the insane of the
District of Columbia. Only IS persons
out of every 100000 in the District
are reported as insane, while the fig
ures for the whole country is about
120 per hundred thousand. Only 266
persons were adjudged insane in the
entire District during the fiscal year
just ended. In spite of the impression
to the contrary, neither the hot wealth
er nor the doings of congress is
enough to cause the Washingtonian
to lose his mind.

Washington, d. c., July "a, 1906.
Special Washington Correspondence:
One of the strangest features of the
last session of congress was the trou-
bled slumber of the ship subsidy bill
which, as the more modern example
of Private John Aliens perennial bill
for public building at Tupeio, Miss,
has been regularly introduced, dis
turbed and debated, and finally shelv-
ed for 10, these many years. The ques-
ton of a subsidized merchant marine
is a vexed one, which has not been
classified by the statistics of vessel
construction just issued by the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor.
From these it seems that the tonnage
of rugged, vessels constructed during
the past year was nearly 100000
total equal to nearly two dozen of
the largest battleships in the world.
The surprising part of it all is that
practically the whole of this amount
was covered by construction on the
Great Lakes, which, while it does not
affect the ship subsidy situation, does
show in startling manner the de-
mand which the country is making for
a chance to take advantage of cheap
water transportation. In Germany, for
example, the canals and rivers carry
a great part of the freight, and while
this country is admirably equipped in
the rough by Nature for water trans
portation, it is only of late that the
question has been brought up in it's
true light by the national rivers and
harbors congress-an organization
which is striving to show the futility
of paying rail rates when a demand
for the improvement of our water
ways through increased federal ap-
preparations would enable the shipper
to move his goods at one-sixth of the
present rates. Facts like this indicate
that the future cry for federal appro-
priations in connection with water
transportation is to be not for sub
sidized fleets, for for inland improve
ments, on highways open to all alike.
To an ex-Confederate residing in
the south falls the honor of making
the first contribution which has been
received here for the erection in the
Arlington cemetery of a monument to
the memory of Mrs. James Tanner,
wife of the commander of the G. A. r.
writing from his Florida home, Mr..
Bruce, the first contributor, begs as
an old soldier of the south to be al
lowed to do his part, in appreciation
of the expressions of kindly feeling
which the commander has often
voiced for the old southern soldiers
1t is expected that about $4,000 will
be collected from the G. A R. posts
and various other sources for the
movement, insuring its worthiness of
her whom it will commemorate.

bill, and the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing has therefore just been d.
rected by the comptroller of currency
to prepare plates carrying four ten
dollar national banknotes. Under this
new arrangement the banks can have
all the tens they require, without be-
ing compelled to take any twenties.
From Consul Gaulin of France come
some interesting figures concerning
the total wine crop of the world for
the past year. No less than SITE, 000,-
900 gallons of the sparkling juice Of
the grape were produced by the vari-
GUS countries from which vine comes.
France, including Algeria and Tunis,
easily led the list with 1,710,900, 006
gallons, followed by Italy with half
that quantity, and Spain with a prod
uct equal to one-half of Italy's. The
United States ranks twelfth with an
insignificant output of 100000 gal
Ions; less than one for. every two in
habitants. OF the grand total, Europe
gave over 95 per cent and North
America per cent. France alone, the
largest importer, as well as exporter
of wine in the world, produced As per
cent.

The time for singing is come, and
the wall of the government clerk is
heard in the land. Because he gets a
half holiday on Saturdays during the
summer, while naturally drawing full
pay, it is now ruled that he is to be
locked for twice the amount of time
he loses on those days. Naturally he
is sore, and the government seems to
have put its foot into trouble again.
Indeed, the fact often adduced against
federal and municipal ownership
that government is less success
full bargainer than an individual or
corporation, finds ample illustration
here in Washington. The national
government supplies half the business
of the city, and in many classes of
supplies it buys far more than all the
city population combined. 1t is fire.
quently pointed out, in explanation of
the oft repeated statement that
Washington is one of the most expen-
sive cities in the country in which to
live, that this is due to the high level
of prices maintained by the presence
of the federal government as a large
purchaser. Even at that, the private
citizen fares better than the public
