7. JAY LACY & CO.'S
EUREKA NURSERY

A very interesting industry
belonging to Lafayette is the nur-
sery of T. Jay Lacy & Co., sit
uated just beyond the Industrial
Institute. The nursery is not a
very large one, occupying only
an acre of ground, and yet the
high state of cultivation and the
utilizing of available space to the
best advantage in those plants
which the nursery turns out.
make it's size sufficiently large to
supply a very large demand.
A reporter for The Advertiser
through the courtesy of Mr.. Lacy
was shown over the entire nur-
sery and was surprised 70 see
the number and variety of plants
prepared for the market, and
among them a number of rare
plants that are decidedly novel
for this section.
The Kin Kan orange trees in
full fruit and the China tea plant.
the genuine plant from which
the tea of commerce is made,
were among the plants that at
tracted the attention of the re-
porter. The Satsuma orange
trees in fruit was also an attrac-
tive sight. This orange will
stand 80 degrees and thrives
we'll in this climate as is shown
by the lusty trees in the nursery.
The Satuma is a delicious fruit
and when it's full disturbances
is known will no dOnbt be plant
ed by every family.
The greenhouse, which is un
der the direct care of Mrs. Lacy.
who is a flower enthusiast, was a
particularly interesting place.
especially having Mrs. Lacy to
tell about the many plants, their
beauties, their rarity, and her
troubles, in getting the genuine.
The nursery is, as we said be-
fore, an interesting industry of
this city and it is exceedingly
convenient, for all the fruits and
flowers that thrive here can be
had there and at a very reason
BILE cost. Besides the trees are
all healthy and in buying from
the nursery, purchasers may
feel sure that no scale or other
disease is being introduced on his
premises. The nursery is a
small one, but it is a select one
and a credit to Lafay cite.

GIL. WlLkInSOf.'S ADDRESS.
Continued from First Page.

pay 8.
He closed by saying that he
esteemed it a favor to in any way
be able TO save the people any
taxes.
Col. WilkinSon's speech Was
listened to very attentively and
made a most excellent impress
sion.
Judge =. S. Pugh was then
called upon to speak. He began
by saying that they had assem-
bled to discuss the issue of the
day. At the beginning of the
campaign there were three can
didateS for governor. He spoke
of General JaStremski as having
created a political revolution,
that he struck the keynote of the
campaign when he said the
rights of the people must be re-
turned to them. When Gen. Jas
tremSki SAID it,. side by side with
him stood Hon. Theodore S. Viii
kinSOn. The issue was a com
puisory primary to prevent the
bosses from naming the officers
and forcing them on the people.
How did Sanders stand? What
kind of a committee did Mr.. San
nerS as president of the Senate
appoint? He appointed Messrs.
Cordill, Lambrement, and Thor
pc. all against the primary. three
a kind and all the same kind.
The only nan he put on the com
mittee in favor of the primary
law was Senator Tom Barrett of
Cadds.
When you Judge a man, don't
Judge him by what he says when
he makes a platform to get your
votes, but Judge him by what he
has done in the past. Where
did Col. Wilkinson stand then?
He stood with Gen. Jastremski.
Judge Pugh then speaking of
Sanders position on lobbying,
asked why if he was opposed to
lobbying he didn't stop it when
he was speaker of the house?
He spoke of Mr.. Sanders being
a corporation lawyer, and said
that the Legislature passed a
license tax. on the American
Sugar Refining Company. As
presiding officer Mr.. Sanders
signed the bill. Then as a law
yer he appeared before the
Supreme Court and helped to
annul the law which as a repre-
sentative of the people he had
passed.
He could not serve the people
and the corporations at the same
time, Col. Wilkinson is a farmer
and not affiliated with corpora
ton. Do you support a corpora
ton man or a farmer!
Sanders was afraid to speak
when the special session was
called, although he had been up
and down the State declaring
for reform. He was afraid the
special session might hurt his
candidacy and his friends were
afraid. They declared it was
in the interest of Col. Wilkinson.
What Wilkinson said was, he
agreed with Gov. Blanchard.
There is the contrast in the two
men.
Judge Pugh then spoke of
gam bling. How did Sanders
stand? When asked as to the
racetrack gambling in New
Orleans, he didn't say except in
a way, but Col. Wilkinson said it
ought to be suppressed. Judge
Pugh also spoke of gambling in
the parishes and said it should
be suppressed. He wasn't a
prohibitionist. but if the gamb-
ling in connection with saloons
could not be ended, then the

B1RNEY 4 CITY BUILDER.


Realty circles amazed yesterday the re-
tirement Of Charles r. Barney president of the
Knickerhocker Trust Company and the inability Of
the company to meet the demands of its deposit
ors. II amazed because Mr Barney has had
a long and successful career in the real mar
ket. HIS realty operations cover u period of more
than twenty years and in that time his profits
from realty investments have been large and his
Improbable projects only two.
Between 1901 and l9O4 Mr. Barney headed a syn
dictate which bought hundreds of parcels in the
washington Heights and the Dyckman sections
At time it estimated that the total market
value Of the property in those sections controlled by
the syndicate was about $4,000 600 In fact. Mr..
Barney practically the first of the big realty
leaders to foresee the wonderful development >of
the Washington Heights and Dyckman sections as
they should be brought nearer to the City
Hail by better means Of rapid transit
Mr. Barney. owing to his marked ability 80 Judge
accurately realty conditions, prophcsicd that the
opening of the subway would not only resul. in
big Increase in values in the upper or newer spccu-
latVe sections of the city out also in values in the
great West Side north Of 18th street and south
OF Washington Heights. Moreover, he said that
the opening OF the subWuys would be quickly fol-
lowed by the endorsement Of the retail and whole
sale business districts and the financial sections.
Since the opening the subways all these prophc-
cieG have come true.
AIr Barney played 10 sman part in the develop
men; Of the upper West Side districts by selling
reliable ana experienced builders and by then pro-
curing for them loans with which to further
building projects. Every apartment house which
was erected on land originally held by the syndi-
cate and which the syndicate placed d building
loan was first approved BY expert builders in the
employ Of Mr.. Barney before the foundation was
laid by following these methods the land was
improved with substantial houses, every one of
which Is attractive investment.
II is said that the barney syndicate obtained
about So,0o1o0 for builders with which to perfect
building projects between 1902 and 1905. Mr. Bar

contributed TO the firms difficulties. The primary
caus. Of the failure he attributed TO yesterday s
big slump in the market, to which the suspension
Of Taymcnt by the nnckerbocker Trust Company
lud the general UneasineSs in financial circles were
contributing causes.
Marcus Mayer is understood be q the
largest individual holders Of Delaware & hudson
stock. which has been the object ct attack oy
Spectators for a decline recently. At the last
annual meeting he credited with 1000 shares
and the firm of which he the head with 1000
shares more. This stock, il is said, purchased
ut around geo Yesterday it dropped to 13S, sixty
two points lower jhan Mr.. Mayer is understood TO
have paid for ms 1000 shares. The firm was also
said be heavily interested in Reading Railroad
and the stocks Of other coal roads.
This would mako his loss. paper in this one
stock well over million dollars. More than four
thousand shares Of Delaware & Hudson stock were
sold Yesterday at prices ranging from 145 to 13S
the latter price being drop Of 10 points from the
preceding day. Whether any Of this stock be-
longed to MI MAYER could not be learned
Mr. CODY said he did know If Mr. Mayer had
sold any Of his stock since the arnua! meeting or
not bu. he admitted that the drop Of 10 points in
Delaware * Hudson yesterday might have been
contributing factor to the firms inability to con-
tinUc business.
An evidence az Mr. Mayors interest IN ire De!a-
ware & Hudson company IS the fact that last year
he made 4 of inspection over the road IN
company with a number If the officials and other
large stockholders.
The firm composed Of Marcus Mayer. George

named being the Stock Exchange members. II has
been in business since Juno l. 1905. Mr. Bayls
