A ForeWord.

of human endeavOr; to render some
service to our fellow man, and at the
end of a well-spent life to feel that
the world has been benefited in a
small degree at least, by our having
been in it.
The purchase of the Agriculturist
seems to present God-glven oppor-
tunity to see this ambition realized.
If, through this fundamentally, we
shall be able to assist in the develop
ment of the great State of Florida, by
directing attention to it's limitless re-
sources and possibilities, by encour-
aging experiments with special crops
or new industries that may be made
profitable; by urging improvements in
breeds of stock and an enlarged pro-
duction of the things to which the
State is peculiarly adapted, and point
ing out more economical methods of
securing such results, thus adding to
the general prosperity and also bene-

hopes will have become reality.
In assuming the management of
the Agriculturist statement of flu
ture plans and expectations will prob
ably not be out Of place, but it shall
be brief.
We undertake the work with full
consciousness of the responsibility it
involves and the effects that will be
required to maintain the high stand
ard which the paper now occupies.
AS an earnest that there will be no
cause for disappointment in this re-
spect Mr.. w. c. Steele, who has done
large share Of the editorial work
for the past three years, will be re-
tanned as editor, and will be assisted
in that capacity by Mr.. Painter, whose
familiarity with the agricultural con-
ditions and possibilities of Florida
are unsurpassed In addition arrange
ments are being made for one or more
special articles each week by writer's
who are recognized authorities in
their lines. Besides this feature and
others not sufficiently matured to
mention now, short, practical articles
are solicited from every subscriber
who has been successful with any
particular crop Or in any experiments
that may be Of general interest.
Notwithstanding the improvements
contemplated, the subscription price
will be reduced, beginning with this
issue, to ST per year, strictly in adj
vance All subscribers who have this
reduction in price and the attractive
combination rates with other publica-
tions, some of which are announced
elsewhere in this paper, it is hoped
that all who are not paid in advance
will renew their subscription prompt
ly and also secure a few new sub
scrlbers among their neighbors and
| friends
AS soon as transfer can be arrang-
ed with the postofice department and
satisfactory location can be secured,
an office will be opened in Jackson
vile, where we shall be pleased to
greet our friends at all times. In
the meantime all correspondence
should be addressed to the Agricul-

Another Woman Beaten.

New York, August-Another muir
derous assault was added Sunday to
the police record of recent crimes
against defenseless women and girls.
The last victim was Miss Ellen Bull
ger, a woman of middle age, who was
attacked in her apartments in the
Bronx, cruelty beaten and left in a
helpless state. The woman was re-
moved to hospital, where it was
found that her skull had apparently
been fractured, her face and hands
lacerated, and her body otherwise
bruised. There was evidence that
the woman had made courageous
fight. From what the police were able
to learn from her, she was surprised
by a smooth faced stranger perhaps
40 years of age. He was coatless and
wore an outing shirt and dark trou-
sers. He escaped.

Boil WeeviI In Mexico.

San Antonio, Tex, Augusta re-
port from Durango, Mex, says: Con-
sternation reigns among cotton plant
ers of this state on account of the ap-
pearance in the fields of the hacienda
Ell Gorilla in the Cuencamo district of
what is generally supposed to be the
bollweevil. Local cotton men are I'M
acquainted with the pest and are I'M
able to say whether the worm is the
weevil or not, but the general suppo-
sition is that it is. The pest multi
plies with terrible rapidity and the
crops of Ell Gorilla are being complete
ly destroyed. Growers near the scene
of the attack of the plague are in de-
spair and there is fear that it will
spread to all the cotton districts of
the state. 1t has been suggested to
secure the assistance of cotton ex-
perts from the state of Texas.

FELL FIFTY FEET
Passenger Breaks Through Bridge and
Sinks In River Loire.

Anglers, France, August-Forty pas
sengers in a third-class railroad car
and the engineer of the train were
drowned Sunday afternoon in a rail
road accident three miles southeast of
this town.
The locomotive of a crowded local
train jumped the track then entering
the bridge over the river Loire.
The stone railing gave way and the
engine plunged into the river fifty
feet below, dragging down with it its
tender and the baggage and third-class
cars. Fortunately no other cars went
into the water as the coupling between
the second and third cars broke. The
conductor and fireman were the only
persons whose lives were saved. They
escaped by swimming.
The third-class car was we'll filed
with passengers, but although part of
the roof was blown off by the confined
air as it sank, not single passenger
extricated himself and all were drown
ed like rats in trap. The engineer
persisted beneath the locomotive.

MONDAY UNIVERSAL WASH DAY.
Recognized as Such Over Almost All
the World.

Why does nearly all the civilized
world wash clothes on Monday? What
has Monday to do with washing? 1t
was originally the moons day and
was sacred to the queen of night
l read in schoolboy's history that
the Pilgrims landed on Monday and
the good women Immediately set
about washing the clothes that had
been soiled on the trip over We
might judge from that alleged fact
that no washing was done aboard
ship; yet the finest place for such
necessary work of sanitation and
blessedness is out at sea where there
is plenty of water and nearly al
ways drying wind.
The voyage of the little Mayfower
lasted GO days, l believe, and as near
ly as we can now reckon the landing
was made at Plymouth Rock on a
Monday, though some historians in
sist ON Friday. 1t must have been
