THE FRANCHISE soUABBLE

During the discussion of the franchise question at the meeting of the city council on Thursday night it was ap. parent that certain of the aldermen were intent upon favoring ono or the other of the corporations seeking a franchise for the public utilities in tho city of Globe than they were concerned for the interest of the people and the good of the city.
 The impression created upon the dis. interested spectator was anything but pleasant or reassuring. The people have right to expect that their inter- est and that of the municipality will be zealously guarded by the council appointed for that purpose. If any member of the council thinks for a mo. ment that he can ignore public opinion and play into the hands of the franchise seekers, or the individual or corporation maneuvering for personal gain, without exposing himself to public criticism and condemnation, he will be rudely awak- ened from the delusion, and, further. more, he and the corporation or interest which he favors can expect no favors and scant courtesy from the people of the city of Globe.
 We believe that a majority of the members of the council are conscien- tious and public spirited men who can not be influenced by any personal con. sideration contrary to what they believe would be to the advantage and con. tinued welfare of Globe and it's people, and consequently We look for intelli- gent and fair action to be taken by the council on the important questions now before them for consideration.
 1t is of small concern to the people what corporation or company secures the public utilities franchise, but on the other hand, what these applicants for public favor propose to give in return for these valuable privileges, and assur- ance that the rates to be charged con sumers for light, heat and water are reasonable and not higher than the rates charged by service corporations in other cities in the southwest are of vital importance. And after all the sparring of the companies seeking fran ehises for public utilities, the people are the final arbiters and by their votes will decide which applicant, if either of them, is entitled to fran cbise; and the Silver Belt is not at all in doubt as to correctness of the yer dict that will be rendered.

Kinr Edx ards Memory

A story is being told which illustrates the Kings marvellous memory for minutiae of detail. A certain yeoman- " officer came up for presentation at the last levee, and in honor of the oe- casion ordered brand new uniform. The army tailor who made the uniform slipped into some slight error with re- gard to straps and buttons. The officer himself did not notice it, and it also escaped the eye of his colonel who pre- sented him, but as he passed the throne the king observed it, and sent an official after him to tell him what was wrong and that it must be altered. An other story illustrating the Kings good memory for details is that on the morn ing after Queen Victoria 's death, when the new King went to Portsmouth, he noticed that the royal standard was flying at half.mast high. This was, of course, intended as mark of respect to the deceased sovereign. But in the presence of the reigning sovereign the royal standard must always fly mast high, and the King pointed out the error at once.-Dundee Advertiser.

at the next meeting Of the Legislature.
Florida had something Of the kind
about twenty or twenty-five years ago,
and it no doubt was the means Of bring
ing many good settlers to the State.
That work was entirely confined to our
own country, and the settlers were all
from the States north of us.
It is now proposed that the work
shall be carried across the ocean and
an effort be made to bring over foreign
laborers, to supply the great shortage
which exists. South Carolina has al
ready made a move in that direction,
and a steamer load of immigrants has
been landed at Charleston.
The Atlanta Journal Of December
Goth, contained long editorial on
South Cardinals immigration Depart
ment. After commencing it in the
strongest possible terms, it goes on to
recommend that Georgia should follow
the example already set and establish
such department.
If it is a good thing for South Carroll
ma and is expected to be as good for
Georgia, why not for Florida?

WEDNESDAY, JAN. %, 1907.


Since assuming the management of
the Agriculturist, we have been SO en-
crossed with business details that we
have bestowed little attention on the
paper itself, but in another week or two
we hope to have these matters better
in hand
For more than twenty years, we have
been regular reader of the Agricultur-
ist, and during all of that time we have
considered the paper we'll worth the
price charged for it-$2.O0 per year.
Hence the subscription rate was not
reduced to $1.OO because it was not
thought to be worth more, but in the
belief that such reduction would result
in greatly increasing its circulation and
enlarging its field of usefulness.
Whether or not we are disappointed in
this respect will depend to some ex-
tent on our subscribers.
The fundamental principles of agri-
culture and horticulture are the same
almost everywhere, but the soil, eli
mate and character of many of the
crops grown in Florida are so different
from other sections OF the country that
to make an agricultural paper here
what it really ought to be-one pecu-
harly adapted to the state-requires
that it should be made up largely Of
original matter and selections from
other papers published in similar 1ati-
tudes and under like conditions.
We do not expect, at least in the near
future if ever, to reach our ideal, but
shall strive hard to do so, and ask the
cooperation of the entire Agriculturist
family in that direction. We have ar
engagements already completed for pa
pers on several important subjects.
some of which will begin with the first
issue in February, and others are under
consideration.
In addition, We earnestly solicit short,
practical articles from all. If YOU have
been especially successful with any crop
tell others how you did it, and if any
OF your efforts have resulted in failure,
some one may be able to point out the
cause, and thus by an interchange Of
experiences all may be prohted. Or
if you have discovered some improved
method of doing things or some sim

The Freeze.

Since last weeks paper was made
Up, we have found notices OF the cold
snap and it's effect in several of our
State exchanges.
We have also letter from the Pinel-
las peninsula. From that it will be
seen that the cold was quite severe on
the west coast. We gave reports last
week that it had been as low as % in
Manatee county, The Punta Gorda
Herald says that the lowest at that
point was %, and that orange trees and
shielded pineapples were uninjured.
Their escape is attributed to the pro-
lection Of the waters Of Charlotte Har-
Dor on the west. The editor says that
little north Of their place it was much
colder, and some oranges are reported
frozen on the trees.
The Wauchula Advocate says that
26 was the coolest reported at that
place, but says nothing Of any damage
from freezing.
The Barlow Courier-Informant says
that the coolest at Haines City was %.
No injury to oranges, and it was
thought that the trees were also SAFE
At Haskell and at Fort Meade the
mercury went to 20; at Frostproof the
lowest was 26; at Barlow it was 20.
It is said that vegetable crops are
generally killed, or badly damaged.
The Reporter says that the cold
snap has caused damage to growing
crops, aggregating many thousands Of
dollars. The government self-register-
ing thermometer gave record Of p,
but farmers and truckers from the
country reported it much colder.
We found only one record Of the cold
in the Gainesville section. At Judson
the mercury went to 10 on the morn
ings of the Goth, Goth and 9th.
On the whole it seems that the cold
wave came in from the west as is often
the case, and was as cod along The
southern part OF the west coast as it
was two or three hundred miles further
Meth The injury has not been se:.o,1s
in many places, but it is suficen. 10
emphasize the warning Of the Tampa
Times, which we reproduce elsewhere
this week, that the farmers OF Florida
would be wise to go into frost-proof
crops.
