former Speaker Hamiter.
 Mir. Hamiter called attention to the fact that Senator Davis had been invited to be present and speak. He denied the charges made against him by Davis and Davis was only running one of his bluffs when he told the people in other sections of the state that he was coming into Lafayette af- ter his (Hamiter's) scalp. He charged that Davis was attempt ing to control the Democratic party in Arkansas by the ma chine he used when he was gover- nor of the state. He said he was sorry Davis was not present so he might hear what he had to say of him, and said that because Davis was not present he would consume no more of his time by talking about him.

the stockholders in the steel trust own
the plants and machinery necessary for
the production of steel. Aftereach work
err has produced enough steel to pay his
wages and those of superintendent and
management, and to pay for wear and
tear of machinery, he must still keep
on working and produce profits for the
owner of the machines. The owner
himself may or may not work Often
the stakeholder has no connection what
ever with the industry He may be-
long to the idle rich. But the fact,
that he owns the means of production -
in this instance the plant and machinery
makes 1t possible for him to live in
idleness off the labor of his fellow-be-
ings. Or he may own some of the
means of distribution as stakeholder
in railroad-and thereby appropriate
part of the labor of other men.
These examples may not impress one
with the injustice OF the capitalist
system. We have been carefully
trained to consider the "vested rights"
of capital.
The fact, that capital is simply ac-
cumulated labor, unjustly appropriated
by the capitalist, is not taught by our
Rockefeller endowed universities.

Saws He Can Raise the Dead.

Prof. George Poe, living in Norfolk
county, Virginia, claims to be able to
raise the dead by means of machine
which he calls respirator." The
principle of the machine is to remove
the deadly gases from the lungs, and
at the same time pump in oxygen.
The inventor states that the machine
will resusitate persons killed in
asphyxation, poison or drowning; to
prevent death by an anesthetic while a
patient is being operated upon, prevent
infant asphyxia at birth; make drunken
men sober in a few minutes; relieve
men electrocuted or hanged, the latter
only in cases where the neck has not
been broken; prevent freezing to death
even in the Arctics.
Thomas Black, retired business
man of Norfolk, on being shown the
plans, obtained permission to exhibit
them to DR.. Francis NJ Morgan, a
physician of Norfolk. DR.. Morgan got
Mr.. Poe to demonstrate.it before COM
mittee of Norfolk county and Norfolk
city doctors. They witnessed the
smothering of rabbits and dogs to the
point of what they declared on their
professional honor was absolute death,
and then saw them resuscitated.

EXPORT SHIPPERS
FORM ORGANIZATION

The Export Pineapple Growers Asso-
citation met in West Palm Beach Thurs
day of last week. The meeting was
well attended by some of the largest
growers of the East Coast. This asso-
citation was formed about year ago
by few men for the purpose of ex-
perimenting with shipments abroad,
and as it was wholly chance trial,
only those men who could afford to
make a loss were asked to become
members; and after one seasons exper-
fence it has been decided to make the
association a permanent organization
and all growers who are willing to abide
by the results of the business and ship
their fruits under the particular require
ments of the foreign market, are ell
gible to membership in the association.
The enterprise is now practically
through with the experimental stage as
those who shipped last season have be-
come somewhat versed in the peculiar
ms and outs of the business and in this
regard it is opportune to say that the
conditions and requirements of this
foreign trade are very exacting and
wholly different from those attending
home trade. One of the main features
being that of having the proper con-
signee abroad who will handle the fruit
in an intelligent manner.
AT this meeting the association was
made into permanent organization I'M
der the name of the Florida East Coast
Export Shippers, and officers were
elected as follows: President, James E.
Andrews, of Fort Pierce; vice-president
j. E. Ingraham, st. Augustine; secre-
tary and treasurer, w. r. Moses, OF
West Palm Beach. Directors to serve
until next annual meeting in March 1908;
Harry Jennings, Tibbals; W. j. Dyer,
Stuart; r. D. Hoke, Jensen; G. c.
Mathams, West Palm Beach; M. C.
Hardee, Boynton; GA. Long, BocaRa-
ton; T. V. Moore, Miami.
During the progress of the meeting,
w. X. Moses read report OF the first
and subsequent meetings OF the asso-
citation, which included reports of last
seasons foreign shipments, that were
extremely interesting and showed
plainly that the men who had first gone
into the business had taken quite a
chance, but that owing to extreme care
in shipping and the following out OF the
ideas and instructions of Mr.. Ingraham
who had made a careful study of the
trade while abroad, they had in the
main done we'll enough to go on with
the business and this year promises
quite an increase in the amount OF ship
ments.
The directors will hold meeting in
West Palm Beach on Saturday, April
18th. to elect an executive committee
and they in turn will select transpor-
tation agent who will assemble the
shipments and route them to destina-
tion.-Tropicsl Sun.

was published in the last issue of THE

were made, the most important of these

This amendment was made necessary
by the fact that section IL provides
hat no money shall be expended for

roads of St. Lucie county, and all public
roads cease at the town limits Of any
Incorporated town. Without this amend
ment Fort Pierce would be prohibited
from receiving any benefit from the

G.. r. Glenn. a farmer OF the Leb.

miles southeast of here. has no ter.
rors for a short cotton crop to keep
him from starvation and never will
be as long as he can raise about 100
bushels OF big red onions on an acre
of land at less cost than he can
raise an acre of cotton and get at
least one dollar per bushel for his
onions here at home.
Mr.. Glenn is one of the few farmers
that is not welded 10 the single crop
idea and not only does he raise on
ions, but cotton and corn as well. and
hogs thrown in for good measure.
This morning he came to town with
three wagon loads of onions, his own
raising, that are as fine as can be
raised anywhere in the union and sold
them at one dollar per bushel to 10.
cal dealers. when asked as to the
comparative cost Of raising the on.
ions with the cotton. he expressed
himself as fayoring the onion crop.
1T cost me less to raise these onions
than I does an acre of cotton and I
get more for the acre. use from
five to six pounds of seed to the
acre and get from rs to 10 bushels of
onions with but little cultivation. This
is my first year and ! can state to
