10000 BARRELS
Of POTATOES
That Many Will be Shipped
from One Florida Town
this Year.

The little town of Hastings, in St
Johns county, is evidently in potato
raising community as the following
from the st. Augustine Record indi-
Gates:
New samples of the spuds which
Hastings clay produced this year
were brought to the Record Office this
morning by Mr.. John Nix a large buy
er of Irish potatoes. He submitted
these as fair samples of the potatoes
grown on Fdirview Farm owned by
DIR. T. l.. Brown. Expert opinion was
not required to classify these 'Mur-
phles as par excellence. They are
splendid specimens, and have never
been surpassed by any heretofore sub
mitted- A little larger than the aver
age, clean and free from blemish of
any character. they are as near per-
lection as it is possible to attain. In
the course of conversation Mr.. Nix
mentioned that up to yesterday SIS. 900
barrels had been shipped from Hast
ings, and that the trafnlOad this even
ing would run the volume consider
ably above $4,000 barrels In all, he
believes that the farmers will ship
over 10000 barrels before the fields
are cleaned out. The prices are most
satisfactory, ranging from $3.50 to
$3.50 per barrel at the station in Hast
ings. When it is considered that this
great crop was produced in spite of a
drought of five or six months il seems
marvellous, and raises the prestige of
Hastings to the highest pinnacle.

it was killed The substitute offered
yesterday differed from the measure
disposed of by the senate two weeks
ago in that 1t provided a tax on the
value of franchise instead of upon
the receipts of corporations. The
senate voted down the substitute by
a vote of Is TO 8. several pairs being

and Expenditures of money should be
| published in itemiZed form. signed by
! the chairman and clerk just as is re-
quired of boards of public instruction
/ in Florida.
The Metropolis urged that such a
law be passed two years ago, but IT
was defeated on call of the calendar
by some member saying no such law
! was necessary, and all the bill con-
tanned was then a law, but such it
seems was not the case, and Escam-
bia county is now a sufferer from
secretly issuing and honoring war
rants that were unauthorized by the
board. The chairman of that board
did it, and he is now in Jail awaiting
trial.
There should be no objection to
publishing these financial statements,
but there was from the chairman or
several counties two years ago, and
it is said that the opposition defeated
the bill.
We are still of the opinion that not
only the financial status should be
made of the public revenues of the
commissioners, but of all county and
state boards or officials handling pub
lie funds; not, however, to crafty any
personal suspicion, but that every tax
payer may know just how the funds
are being managed. 1t is a business
principle and should be applied every
where so that any taxpayer can know
the condition of the county funds by
looking at the published report. the
same as a member of a private bust
ness firm can by referring to the
books of the firm
Such law is a guide for the coun-
ty commissioners, it is information
for the people and also a check to
any intended dishonesty. We could
never understand why the county
school board should be required to
publish such a statement and not the
county commissioners, when the lat
ter board has in its custody a great
deal more public funds and has to
deal with so many more parties than
the school board
The Metropolis is, in the main, we
think, correct, but it is certainly
wrong If it thinks that simply an item
lied account of the commissioners
expenditures is all that is necessary
to be published. That would go a
long way toward preventing extrava-
gance. but it would not accomplish
everything that is desired in that di-
rection. The boards should be COM
PEELED to publish an official record of
their meetings. The expense would
be slight and the effect of such pub |
hcity on the boards can hardly be
overestimated- 1t would mean money !
in the taxpayers pockets in the end. |

great many men of mature age who
ought to know these things, but who.
cannot leave their work and enroll
themselves as students. believe that
a school of CORES pondence ought to
be attached to the department of ag-
riculture so as to give these boys and
these men an opportunity to learn
the common principles of their avo-
cation. If this Is done there will not
be a single year IN which the wealth
added to the. state, through the in;
formation thus impaired, will not re-,
turn, by an hundred fold, the mon
ey required to maintain the corre-
spondence school. l hope that no one
will construe my recommendation into
a desire to lower the standards of ed
ucation. L understand perfectly that
a course of instruction through COR
respondence must be somewhat SUI
perficial and very inadequate. but
there is a pressing need for even
moderate learning in agriculture, and
the subject is peculiarly adapted to
courses pursued in correspondence.
The State Normal school, under the
supervision of its uneXcelled leader,
is pressing forward, year by year,
and it challenges the just pride Of
every citizen. 1t is furnishing to the
state and to the country teachers of
the highest qualifications.
