The congregation of the Church of St
John the Baptist, at 200 West Thirtieth
street, was pouring out of the church
doors and there was a good-sized crowd
on the sidewalk when Cooney burst into
it, yelling like mailman. Two men tried
to seize COoney, but he knocked both Of
them to the street
ODea was getting near, but Cooney
saw him coming and fired at close range
The bullet went through IDEAS coat
sleeve, smuggling his arm, but he kept
straight on and nabbed the Gorilla in
front of % West Thirteth street, and
brought him down with a blow from
the butt end of his gun. The tough was
up again like a cat, cIutching for the
pOliceman's neck. O'Dea hammered him
again and again, but CoOney fought on,
fought as only the Razor alley gang
fights, gougung at the eyes. ripping the
face open with finger nails, biting claw
ing, and mounting like a wild animal
Nobody attempted to help O'Dea, and
the policeman rapidly got the worst Of it.

Berg Line to It's agents here, j. j. Logan & Co.,
that it will soon transfer It's sangs from Fernan
dina to Jacksonville, then to make regular trips
between this port and Rotterdam with cargoes OF
naval stores II IL the intention Of this line to make
Il" transfer soon contracts ut Fernandina are
carried out, probably within q month or six weeks
The transfer Is indicative Of the inclination Of
ocean carriers to seek Jacksonville business, and the
first regular foreign line to enter will open connec
ton for this city with one OF the most important
ports OF Europe, Rotterdam Is considered In the
naval stores trade
Already the Clyde Line maintains an excellent
service to the principal Northern ports, while the
Southern Steamship Company has recently inaugu
rated desirable service between this city and Phil
adelphia. The Merchants 4 Miners Transportation
Company has purchased extensive river front prop
erty here for the purpose Of establishing terminals
for service to Baltimore and Philadelphia.
Thus is the coastwise service increasing with the
expansion OF the market and It's future growth will
be nurtured by other lines of European steamships
which will naturally follow the entrance Of the Berg
Line
The completion Of the deep water improvements
will mark the final step giving Jacksonville equal
shipping facilities with Savannah by water, while
these by rail to this point are In great measure
The future Is bright with prosperity for Jack
sonville a naval stores market OF magnitude, and
naught can mar the prospect ut present indicated
unless 1t be lack Of cooperation by those whose
difference Discrimination should cause neglect Of
the opportunity that 10 naturally forced upon this
city by reason Of its location.

Persistently Jacksonville is forging to the front
in the export of naval stores
Despite the obstacles placed in the way through
the dominating power of firmly established rival,
cherished in the affections of great exporters Jack
sonville is coming to its full heritage outlet
for the great naval stores producing territory of
which it is the natural gateway.
The work of making Jacksonville naval stores
market has been slow, but steadily the trend of the
trade is turning to this point, and the day is not
distant when the greater portion of the export trade
will be concentrated here
AS stream will eventually seek its natural out
let 80 is the naval stores trade flowing to this city,
and those exporters who recognize the advantages to
be gained by such movement are doing all in their
power to stimulate and aid such commercial revolu
ton the building of naval stores market here.
During the past twenty years Savannah has been
considered by the trade-both producers and con-
sumers-as the market fixing the basis of values.
Savannah quotations were the standard, and owing
to the extent of the foreign trade handled through
that port its commercial Importance in this respect
has been maintained for long period
The advantages possessed by Jacksonville and
her port improvements, together with the develop
mcnt of the naval stores industry in Florida has,
however, caused q reaction, and Savannah Is no
longer supreme a market.
Up to the time of the active operation OF the
naval stores business in this State about 1900, con-
ditions warranted that Savannah should exercise
market control, as the bulk of the entire crop was
handled through that port.
This is no longer the case, however, as shipments
The sun. (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1905-1908, 1906-04-28

formerly made TO that point have been diverted to
Jacksonville and Fernandina. In recent years the
receipts at Fernandna and this city have been about
equal to those of Savannah, and prices paid by the
exporters have been uniformly the as the prices
paid daily in Savannah.
The conditions have been changing from year to
year in favor of this port and at the present time
Jacksonville is practically open market. Accord
ing to the opinion of a naval stores exporter, in
speaking Of the advantage of Jacksonville naval
stores market it would appear advisable from the
standpoint of the consumer to operate through Jack
sonve rather than to throw all of the demand upon
the Savannah receipts, thus causing great competi
tiOr among the exporters and increasing market
prices in proportion to the demand, which then as.
sumes a speculative phase not in harmony with ju.
dicicus business methods. Eliminating the chances
for unwise speculation places the business on sub
stantal footing that speedily proves more profitable
for both producer and consumer.
In the railway facilities for bringing in this
traffic Jacksonville is especially favored. The
nections to all parts of the great naval stores field
of the best and the shipper Is the gamer by the
much shorter distance to point Of export, a matter
of great Importance and one, too that is not being
overlooked.
Then the port facilities OF Jacksonville are i'm
proving rapidly is another strong factor in the up
building of the market insufficient water for deep
draft vessels will longer be impeachment to the
trade Twenty feet Of water now, and twentyfour
feat assured in about eight months removes all OBJ
jcctons on that score.
That these advantages are appealing to steam
ship owners is shown by the announcement OF the
The sun. (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1905-1908, 1906-04-28

Fear Of increased taxation is in large measure
responsible for arrested development in Florida as it
is in many other States. Especially does this fear
prevail in the country districts where the progress
of goodroad making is SLOW and where the educa'
tional facilities retarded for lack of sufficient
means.
The advantages resulting from better roads alone
are overlooked in considering the slight increase OF
tax necessary to build them.
Better methods of education brought about by
more competent teachers and better school buildings
are disregarded because of effort to keep down the
tax rate.
In the attempt to save trife large sum is lost.
There is no doubt about it. The sum total required
from each individual yearly for road building would
be forgotten when the amount thus spent would be
returned many fold by Of the essened cost OF
hauling, the better condition of horses and vehicles
the time saved and not the least of all the increased
value OF real estate on the line Of good road.
In consideration Of these improvements the farmer
should not forget that the wealthy landowner, the
nonresident and the corporation obliged to con-
tribute whether benefited or not,
The sun. (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1905-1908, 1906-04-28

Similar argument can be used for advocacy Of
better schools in the rural districts Small increase
in the tax rate will give the desired result Of i'm.
proved education. With poorly paid and incompe-
tent teachers and miserable buildings to house the
pupils, there is waste Of public money, an exces.
sive price for the little knowledge impaired to the
children of the farmer.
little more money for the school and this waste
would be checked Then there would be sufficient
to provide the right kind OF quarters and hire good
teachers, and the profit TO the community would be
found in the higher standard Of intelligence brought
into each home.
As in the case of good roads, the wealthy, the
resident and the corporation would each be compelled
to stand It's share OF the public burden.
There is much wisdom in the following opinion,
offered by Richard II. Wood, in the Farmers Trib-
une
