ucts. The passers on our streets can see
displayed much of these products, among
which are the following: Turnips, beets,
green snap beans, wax beans, two kinds
of squashes, elephants, cabbage, onions,
English peas, sweet potatoes, Irish po-
tatoes, lettuce, sweet peppers, cucum-
bers, tomatoes, green corn, grapefruit,
oranges, pineapples and watermelons.
These, together with chickens, turkeys
and eggs and trains of wagons loaded
with oranges, combine to make an air of
plenty that is pleasing to the observer"

be two such crops of stuff raised in one
year. Come South, young man, or old

Agriculture --- Horida'S Opportunity

One section prohibits the adultcration
or mixing of any feeding stutfs with
ground rice, chaif, ground corn-cobs,
ground peanut shells, or ground oat
hulls. Violations of any of the several
provisions of the act are punishable
by fine or Imprisonment.
This is only one of several laws upon
the statute books of North Carolina
that might we'll be adopted by our own
and other Southern States. An immense
amount of mixed feeding stuifs come
into Florida every year, and the amount
is increasing. The consumer has rs much
right to such protection as il given him
in the laws regulating fertilizers.
Another law of Importance is known
rs the Pure Food Law, designed to pro-
tect the public against the adultcration
of articles intended for human consump-
ton.

Some experiments made in France to

A recent windstorm in Southern Cal
ifornia ruined at least ten per cent of
the orange crop about Los Angeles, and
no doubt adjacent sections were more

that there was no sign of the gentle

The railroad man is a man of ac-
tion. and a man of quick action. a

what men in other lines of work may

sleeps. that If he does sleep he has
the sleeping nina of dog. the kind
which a whisper will awake. The
lazy boy, even though he may be a
mechanical genius, would better keep
away from railroading.
The Elbert County tribune., 1906-07-05
Requisite Education

The boy who intends to enter the
clerical side of railroading needs the
same preparation as he does to take
up any regular business, although
some mechanical knowledge. even in
the clerical department, will not
come amiss. But the boy who in
tends to go into one of the operating
departments. and this is the side
which offers the greatest opportunity,
needs to be equipped with a liberal
and broad technical education. From
the common or high school he should
pass into some institute of technology
and graduate. The classical college
is hardly to be advised. because the
first-class institute of technology, or
other high technical school. gives all
the general education essential to sue
ccssful railroading.
There are few callings which need
more training and discipline than
this. Promotion in the operating de-
partment is impossible without ex-
perience, and a strong. rugged, broad
general technical education exhiler-
ates experience and widens its ca
pacity.
The Elbert County tribune., 1906-07-05
Roswell Miller's Views

Mr.. Roswell Miller. chairman of the
board of directors, Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul railway, in a letter to
the author, says:
The principal advantages of the
railway business consist in the fact
that there are not enough men in 1t
who are capable of filling the best po-
sitions. There is always room for
those who have ability enough to fill
high position. And aside from
merely clerical positions. there is
something more than ordinarily in
teresting in the work which makes it
absorbing. and success is therefore
more likely.
"The principal disadvantages are the
absorption of the individual. II he
is successful, he cannot do much else
day or night-week days or Sundays.
So that in most cases the man who
devotes himself to the railway busi-
ness, and serves his company honest
ly, cannot at the same time acquire
large fortune. which he could do
with the same amount of labor in
other directions. Besides this. rail-
roading, like many other pursuits, has
many machine places, which are
filled by men who come to be merely
machines"
