board had brought suit for this
land. In this connection, ] would
invite attention to section A of ar
ticle 10 of the constitution of
Florida, under the heading as to
'What constitutes the State school

be exclusively applied for the
public school purposes. You will
find the following; Twenty-Five

lands which are now, or may here

the Disston sale of 1900, 900 acres

about 1881. The principal and
the interest on this $1,000, 200,
together with the interest and
principal on other sales, will

"There we're two hundred thous-

out the state, and there were
2,400, 900 acres in the Everglades

Tampa Honors GiIchrist.

Tampa Tribune, Feby. 9:-Gen.
Albert w. Gilchrist, of Punta
Gorda, leading candidate for gov
ernor and the statesman from the
"great county ofDeSoto," is in the
city for a few days looking after
his interests and greeting his
many friends.
He has been extended cordial
ovation from all the citizens Of
Tampa, and was the cynosure of
all eyes at the Tampa Bay hotel,
the fair grounds and on the
streets. He Is by long odds the
most popular man in South Flor
ida, and his thousands of friends
are elated over an opportunity to
reward him for his intrinsic worth
as a citizen by placing him in the
gubernato rial chair.
Offers of support from inAuen-
tial men from all parts of the
state are being made to South
Florida's candidate every day, and
knowing ones predict his election
by an overwhelming majority.
A committee of well known
gentlemen called on the Tribune
last night and suggested the advis
ability of the citizens of Tampa
giving South Florida's candidate a
dollar dinner soon after the fes.
tivities Of the state fair, thus
afording them an opportunity to
express their appreciation of an
aspirant for political honors who
is not allied with any faction, who
stands on his own platform and is
making a race for the Office on a
high plane with all of the corpo-
ration, populism and other isms
entirely eliminated. He is what
might be trutbfplly termed can
didate of the people, and they will
see that be is triAmphantly landed
at the State capital.

The Trouble With Oranges.

A gentleman from Eau Claire,
Wisconsin, spent few days last
week in Leesburg. In speaking
of Florida oranges, he said it is not
at all strange that the price is now
low. He said that in his section
of the country man will not buy
q Florida orange at any price.
The cause of this, he said, is very
plain. In the fall of the year, the
Florida growers ship large guam
titles of green fruit to that coun-
try--fruit so green that it is
neither palatable nor healthful.
BY this fruit, the first shipped to
them, the people form their opin-
ion of Florida oranges. They buy
them once, but not again. They
do not know what time in the year
oranges ripen, but suppose the
first shipments are fair samples.
What are the people Of Florida
going to do about this matters
There is no question but that q
few individuals are running the
reputation of our fruit. The best
solution is for the State to have q
pure food law that will prohibit
the shipment of oranges before
the middle of October or the first
of November. --Leesburg Com.

HERE is THAT LETTER.
The One Which Mr.. Stockton
Wrote to Mr.. FIagIer.

by way VI luOlVuuOpiVh w 49,
Stockton's letter to MIR. Flagler,
it may be necessary TO give a brief
resume of the discussion which
justi6es its publication.
The Tallahassee Sun, which is
recognized as the political organ OF
Mr.. Stockton and his lleutenants,
in its issue of Dec. 81, 1907, on
page FIVE, quoted that gentleman
rs saying:
"The Stockton Brothers owned
majority of the stock of the
Times-Unio from 1889 to 1896,
and the paper was run as fear
less Democratic peoples paper.
While it was under our control,
it never cringed and worshiped at
the feet of corporations, but do
fed them against tremendous
odds"
Commenting upon this assertion
by MIR. Stockton, The HERALD
alluded to a letter written by him
TO Mr.. Elagler, which letter was
read by Senator Taliaferro at u
public meeting in Tampa four
years ago and represented Mr..
Stockton as apologizing to Mr..
Flagler for something said or
done by the Times Union.
In the Tallahassee Sun of Jany.
18th, doubt is expressed that Mr..
Stockton ever wrote such a letter
and the editor of The HERALD is
challenged to produce it. In
compliance with this demand, the
letter, reproduced from an exact
Photographic copy, is herewith
given in full. The reader will
observe from its contents that just
before it was written, Mr.. Stock
ton was opposing the nomination
of Judge Henry L. Mitchell for
governor and at the same time
trying to thwart the plans and
efforts of the Farmers Alliance.
The letter is dated Jacksonville,
Fla, June II, 1892, and reads as
follows:
DEAR SIR;-Yours of the 10th
at hand and contents care fully
noted. / regret exceedingly that
there should be any difference in
the facts as stated in my letter of
the 23rd ult. The information
was received by my brother Tel
fair, from an official of the j. T.
&K. w. r. r., who stated that
Judge Mitchell had rendered this
decision. Since receiving your
letter, my brother has investigat-
ed the whole matter and finds that
Judge Mitchell was a member of
the Court at that time but did not
hand down the decision. 1 would
state, further, that we are now
heartily supporting Judge Mitch
ell and regret that we have done
him an injustice.
As to the general expressions
contained in my letter, ! am quite
confident was right. However,
there is no use in discussing the
subject further, as the future will
determine whether or not i have
done Judge Mitchell an injustice.
The nomination of Judge Mitch
ell was brought about by a CON-
bination Of Judge Mitchell's
friends and the Farmers Alliance,
as will be shown by the enclosed
copy of the platform as promul-
gated by the Tampa Convention.
The Farmers Alliance claim that
they have not received all that was
promised to them for their part
in Judge Mitcbell's nomination.
II was definitely agreed between

In the Everglades District,
Thinks Gen. Gilchrist.

W ANN NfRhs N4fhNhfA hRN WV -
Jacksonville last week, he was
interviewed by Times-Union re-
porter, and what he said was given
in that paper Of the 9TH inst.
Following is the report of the in
terview.
Gen. Gilchrist has recently
made a trip down the East Coast;
and when asked bya Times-Union
reporter what he thought of the
drainage operations now in pro-
gress near Fort LauderdaIe, said;
81 was very much pleased with
it as far as it goes. They are OPP
Grating in that vicinity two
powerful dredges. When / was
there, Gov. Broward happened to
be there also, and we inspected
the work together. The dredges,
so far rs | am able to Judge, are
perfect pieces of machinery,
strong and powerful. | also looked
at the profile of the work.
"By tho first of March, the
dredges will have about cut
through the rock foundation. Ex-
elusive of the cost of the machin-
cry, three miles of canal will cost
about $4,000 per mile, as the
canals are seventy feet wide and
fourteen feet deep. The cost of
excavation is about 8 cents a cubic
yard. Owing to the amount of
rock underlying the soil, this is
done very cheaply. l saw toma-
toes growing well on that soil.
In my part of the world 1t costs
from $40 to $50 an acre to clear
land of roots and stumps. This
soil has no roots and stumps on it,
and it costs but a trifle to burn of
an acre of saw grass. I'd like to
see a few stalks Of sugar cane ON
it.
81 understand it is about fifty
eight miles to Lake Okeechobee.
Assuming that the cost would be
the same, it would take fully a
million dollars to extend the two
canals to the lake. After the
dredges get out of the rock foun-
dalton, til expense will be a great
deal less.
81 live in a fst-woods country,
A canal will drain only a limited
area. Alligator creek, where the
railroad crosses it about four
miles south of Punta Gorda, is
about the same depth and width
as one of these canals. This creek
drains the country for a distance
of between quarter and a half a
mile on each side of it. II thus
appears that many canals will be
required. ] think the soil as far
as the dredges have gone will
prove productive. For miles, SO
far as the eye can see, the soil ap-
pears TO be the same. The whole
thing resolves itself into dollars
and cents. The sinews of war il
money. / learn there has been an
unusual deficiency in rainfall.
Time alone can tell the tale.'
II notice that you have been
writing in reference to the
title of the land 10 the Ever
glades," said the reporter. "Wbat
is your idea as to the eventual
ownership Of these landss"

set forth by the trustees, and ]
have quoted in connection there
with such decisions of the supreme
court of Florida and of the United
States as came to my knowledge.

Attention.

the Times. Union, writing last Sat
urday, makes the following graft
| flying notice of DeSoto county's
exhibit at the State Fair:
One Of the finest arrays Of pro-
ducts from any of the counties
represented at the fair is that Of
DeSoto, in charge Of Fair Commits
soner Ed Scott Of that county.
In this magnificent collection Of
DeSoto are over 400 handsome
pineapples, all of the smooth cay
enne variety, the largest of which
weighs ten and one-half pounds
and the smallest in the collection
tipping the scales at four pounds
These are shown by Gen. Albert
w. Gilchrist Of Punta Gorda,
who also has on exhibition q pin
cry set out and growing under the
shielded enclosure similar to those
in which pineapples are grown in
DeSoto and other South Florida
counties.
A splendid collection Of potted
plants and cut flowers is O feature
Of q very comprehensive display
made by Mr.. William Crouch of
Punta Gorda, who has in his cut
flower collection hundreds Of hya-
cinths, carnations, jonquils, lilies,
roses, etc. The horticultural ex-
hibit of DeSoto, while not as large
MS some Of the other counties, is
most comprehensive one, embrace
ing bearing orange, lemon and
grapefruit trees aud banana plants
besides the boxed fruit in attrac-
tive shape, the finest specimens in
the department Of DeSoto's show
being from G S. Bushnell Of Area
dia.
Another very suggestive evil
dence of the versatility Of Desc
to's soil is the display of native
woods. which are shown in FORTY
five varieties in their natural state
and besides there is shown q com
prehensive exhibit of naval stores
and manufactured crates for fruit
and vegetables.
In DeSoto's agricultural de-
partment are great stacks of corn
in the eur, tobacco, peanuts, chu-
fas and grains. In preserved pro-
ducts are shown cans and jars Of
almost everything grown in this
section preserved in most tempt
ing style.
Syrups Of four different kinds
are displayed as we'll as the cane
from which it is made, some Of
the latter being sixteen feet high.
Strawberry plants of prolific
growth and bearing are shown,
many of them having q quart of
fine, large, luscious berries on
them.
In the vegetable department Do
Soto has a most excellent show
ling, embracing cabbage, turnips,
peppers, cucumbers, sweet and
Irish potatoes, celery, lettuce,
radishes, etc. There is one va
riety of the latter in which is
shown one weighing Twenty-Five
pounds. The vegetables are dis
played in a most unique, huge
pyramid, reaching high into tho
air, crowned with a growing col
| lard.
A cured meat display also forms
lpart of DeSoto's fine exhibit, emf
bracing salt and smoked hams

very fine show of dried beef and
