CRITICIzES COUNCIL FOR
GIVING AWAY ITS WATER

Pensacola, Fla, Aug. 81, 1908.
Editor Pensacola Journal:
/, with many others, was very much
surprised upon reading The Journal oil
August %, to see that our Charity
Bureau" otherwise called city council
has given to Nh StOTTie the sewer
contractor, the water needed for clean
ing sewers free, an item for which he
certainly expected to, and should. pay
for. 1t can be plainly seen that a
man who has the taxpayers interests
at heart, has no chance in the coUn-
ellis actions. Anything that might
tend 10 benefit them if proposed is
either laid over, lost, or voted down
decidedly.
The city in the first place bought
the water works. in one sense a gold
brick. which viii be found out when
an extra pressure is demanded. What
do we gain2' Just the opposite. we
lose" The price of water still STAYS
at the exhOrbitant rate of 90 cents
per thousand gallons In addition to
this, We are taxed for interest on the
bonds 10 buy the same, and woe be it
10 some poor unfortunate who cannot
pay ais water bill. He is immediate
ly deprived of the privilege. though II
may be only three dollars
But along comes our genial MT
StoTrie, and We know not how. but
cajOles the majority Of our council TO
vote him water. s100 worth a day.
Take it. Nj. StOTrie. the keys of the
city are yours, but please. for the
sake of the suffering public. leave the
streets, no mater in how bad cOndi-
ton we can pay TO nave them made
paSSable.
Now. Mr. Mayor. arise and assert

you think of them once in a while and
veto this action of the council Run

TEN BIG PEPPERS.

gantic fruits are as good In quality as
they are large in size, being sweet

comes as natural cross between Chi
nese Giant and an Old wrinEled. sharp
favored. but large frnited variety
known az Elephants Trunk or Pro
copp's Giant. AS 1t was grown from
seed gathered by Mr. White where the
two kinds grew together. Elephants
Trunk sometimes grows seven or eight
inches long aud is so irregular in form
as to he useless except as curiosity
but the blend with the Chinese Giant
has produced Il fair fruit that grows
as large as cocoanut under good cul-
tural treatment The Magnum DulCe
pepper has heen in commerce about
three Years and is gaining in favor
The plant Is large and vigorous. not
checking IN growth with the first fruit
as does Chinese Giant and Is highly
productive. The large peppers sell

Agricultural College News.

In looking over the new catal ogue
of the Unive ersity of Maine, it is of
especial interest II the farmers of the
State to learn that the College of
Agriculture has made the largest in
crease in the number of students
among the several colleges of the
University According to the cata-
logue tue College of Agricultural has
a total enrolment of 81 students
against 56 for last year This gives
an increase of nearly 6S per cent and
taking into account the numbers OF
students who were enrolled In the
special poultry course, the present
total enrolment would be swelled to
1903, or an increase of "a per cent.
However, it must be said that a part
of this increase is due to the Depart
ment of restry being transferred
from the College of Technology to
the College of Agriculture. But tax
ing this into account the College OF
Agriculture has certainly made a
healthful growth and the results are,
or ought to be, very gratifying to the
farmers of the state and to the facul-
ty of the College of Agriculture.
Next year with the new Agricultur-
al building, real home for the Col
lege of Agriculture, new and better
equipment for class and laboratory
work, this increase In the number of
students should be duplicated or made
larger. Now would be good time
for the young farmers to decide to
help the boom along by arranging to
attend the College of Agriculture
next autumn.
