Florida now has a National
Forest 1t is loca ted in Marion
county and, according to the
Scientific American, the United
States Forest Service will re
forest about 1000 acres of cut
over pine lands embraced in the
tract. After a careful study Ct
the soil and forest growing con
ditions there, the service has
decided that the most practical
method of doing this will be the
planting Of pine seed on the
area to be covered with trees in
a nursery, and transplauting
the seedlings in the field Is not
considered feasible because of
the long tap roots produced bv
this species Of pine, those roots
making transplanting difficult.
Phe experimental planting OF
the mesquite and several species
of the eucalyptus on these lands
has been suggested also in this
reforestation work. These will
be the most extensive operations
yet undertaken in the south.

The South has spanked up
notably since the election in the
matter of Southern man as the
next democratic candidate for
president, aud the Southern pa.
.pers are all talking one way on
the subject. No northern paper
or politician of either party has
made any objection to a South
ern nominee, and indeed some of
the most orthodox Republican
authorities have spoken in warm
commentator of the idea. If
the present trend Of thought
gathers strength we need not be
surprised to see a Southerner as
the next democratic nominee for
president. And why not, pray?
The men who would object from
sectional prejudice are for the
most part fossils and antiques,
negligible factors in our politics;
and it the South can furnish the
right man, one of presidential
size and in sympathetic touch
with the best interests Of the
whole country, we don't believe
there will be any formidable
objection to him at the north
because he comes from this Sec
ton. Culberson of Texas and
John Sharp Williams of Missis
ippi have both been mentioned
for the honor. They are high
class men, but there are others,
and it is quite possible that the
available man is not yet even
conspicuous IN politics. - Pen

Interesting Program Prepared
for Services at Christian
Church.

June 7th is "Children's Day at the
Church of Christ. This is the gala
day of all the year among the Chris
tan Bible schools The good results
flowing from it are many; but chiefly
it educates people in the facts of, and
gives inspiration for missions; and,
it also creates a spirit of liberality in
the churches. The children have been
faithfully training under the splendid
leadership OF Mrs. Petty, ably assisted
by Mrs. Hobgood, Miss Harmon, Mrs.
Wallace, Florence Studley and others.
The program entitled Gross and
Crown" is both instructive and enter
tanning. The decorations for Sunday
will be arranged by the young ladies'
class, and the ushers will be from the
mems "Baraca" class. The Bible school
at 9:45 is expecting a record-breakiag
attendance. There being contest on
between the Baraca and the young
ladies' class, these two are expecting
to show up in full force The babies
of the cradle-rol are invited to bring
their parents to the Bible school next
Sunday morning. Boys like to see the
big men at Sunday school. They think
it must be good thing when the big
folks attend.

PROGRESS ON
MEXICAN LINE
VERY RAPID
Southern Pacific Forces Bring
ing Road North and Pushing
Southeast Rapidly Run
To culiacan August !.

VITA each succeeding week rapid
progress is being made ON the CON
struction of the new Southern Pacific
line which runs along the west coast
of Mexico, and it is now definitely
known that by August / the line will
be in operation as far south as Culia-
can. From there the work win be
pushed on as rapidly as possible.
During the past couple of weeks the
branch line has been in operation as
far north as Comu.lpa and on tae
southern division as far south IS la
Bias. Although the road lies through
a section of the county which, though
enormously RIGA has been neglected
for lack of facilities, the amount of
business is already considerable ano
the future holds great promise.
With force of about 1000 men and
1900 mules the contractors are prose
cutting the work steadily and already
a great deal of grading has been done
past the present terminals. Ten kilo-
meters are ready for track north of
Comuripa while in the southeasterly
direction the grading has progressed
to within 30 kilometers of Culiacan.
There is also a force working north
from Culiacan and 1t is probable tnat
the entire route will have been graded
within the next three weeks.
Allowing plenty of time for govern
mental inspection, publication of tar
IFS, etc, it is very probable that the
line viii be in operation TO that point
by August /.
The receipts of the Guaymas divis-
ion of the Cananea, Rio Yaqui and Pa
cific during the past month have
shown material increase, and with
the new line open it is expected that
before very long the business of the
road will have been built up beyond
all expectations.
That the line north through Com
uripa will eventually pass through
Douglas, Arizona, is certain, but when
the road will be constructed this far
is entirely conjectural as the COM
pany's concessions allow several years
for the completion OF the road.

DROP;

NEW YORK, June 3.-The stock
market was subjected to quite
drenching at the outset by an out
pouring of sales induced by the con
sideration of some overnight develop
ments. The spasmodic nature of the
drop in prices resulted in opening the
way TO an upward reaction. A practi-
cally complete repair OF the opening
losses was effected by midday.
There seemed to be a more serious
view taken of the cut in prices of steel
bars than was the case yesterday when
il was first announced
The aggI cssive support which turn

stock went to the high figure of yes

Increase in Gross Earnings for
Year Despite Crop Shortage.
CONDITIONS CHANGED,
AllAvailable Means Required for
Physical improvement.
Other Items of Interest in
Railway Circles.

In his annual report to the stockhold-
ers of the Texas and Pacific road. Geo.
]. Gould, president, lays particular en-
phasis on the radical change in con-
ditions which took place In the course
Of the year. The Texas and Pacifc's
fiscal year runs concurrently with the
calendar year, and this road, therefore,
shows the effect Of the change referred
to more striktngly than it otherwise
might have done.
Mr.. Gould points out that the year
opened under the most f1attering aus
pices, with traffic stimulated to the
highest degree, with all the avenues of
transportation crowded to congestion
and railroad companies generally
straining every effort to supply the
means to move the business that was
offered.
This was followed later in the year
by combination of circumstances that
unseated values, sapped confidence and
finally eliminated in a financial panic
which paralyzed trade and seriously
affected all corporate interests. But
for this misfortune the year would
have been an exceedingly prosperous
one for the company.
Notwithstanding the general crop
shortage in Texas, the road was able to
report an increase in gross earnings,
the total revenues being the largest for
any year in its history, and this in
spite of the fact that during the last
three months of the year, when the
road usually receives it's heaviest ton
mage, traffic was so far below the aver
age for the term that net earnings
showed but a small increase over those
of the corresponding period In the
previous year The operating ratio for
the quarter was 69.45. as compared
with 6608 for the same three months
in the previous year.
Among the unfavorable conditions
that obtained during the year was the
fact that the cotton crop, the trans
portation of which, to this company.
is one of the most lucrative sources of
revenue, was particularly disappoint-
ing, the yield an acre being smaller
than in many years. ~
The decrease in the number of bales
transported, as compared with the
previous year, was 166, 760 and the loss
in revenue because of this shortage
was $3125 For several months dur
ing the year, the road suffered from
congestions of coke, coal and smelter
supplies traffic on lines leading into
New Mexico. Arizona and Ell Paso.
These COMPOSITIONS caused material
increase in operating expenses
Owing to conditions obtaining the
company has been Obliged to devote
all means available to the improvement
of the physical condition Of the proper
ty and the enlargement of its. traffic
facilities at terminal points and along
its lines. The amount expended for bet
terments to the property, exclusive OF
maintenance. from January, 100, to
December. 1907, was $685., 636. OF this
amount s2.O2S,177 represented the net
cost of new seventy-f1ve-pound steer
rails and fastenings. New equipment
purchased during the same period cost
the company $3,607,275

RIGHT FOOD
How the Baby Was Saved.

when our first baby came it was
soon apparent that his mother could
not nurse him and that it became nee
essary to feed him artificial food. We
tried everything recommended by our
family doctor, then consulted several
other physicians in succession.
1--WE experimental with nearly
every artificial food but could barely
keer the baby alive, and at the age of
five rc.lths he weighed no more than
at birth. When eight months old he
had gained very little, and his stom-
ach and bowels were in such a condi-
ton that we despaired of raising him
"A chance acquaintance recon-
mended Grape-Nuts, and we COM
menced feeding him on It, soaking it
until soft in warm water, as milk
would not stay on his stomach.
From the very first we saw that we
had found the right food at last and
he began to improve Immediately We
fed him on Grape-Nuts in this way and
absolutely nothing else for several
months, and he grew so fast and be-
came SO fat and strong that our
friends were surprised and could
scarcely believe that it was the same
child
HE did not even begin to crawl or
cut his teeth until after we put him
on Grape-Nuts. Until that time he
was weak and helpless and cried
nearly all the time. Now he is a
strong. bright, rosy checked child of
3 kyears.''

THE AUTO SCARED HIS MULES
Frank Forney Sues Wichita Proprie-
tors for $3.50.

Wichita, March 27-Because an
employe of the Wilson Automobile
company failed to stop his automobile
when a team of mules became fright
ened at it, Henry A Wilson and Scott
E. Whine, who are the owners of that
concern, have been sued for $3.50
dana ges in the district court, by
Frank w. Forney, of Peck, the own
er of the mules. S. L. Pope is also
named as one of the defendants
The plaintiff alleges that a man
named Smell, who is an agent of the
Wilson Automobile company, drove a
machine in Peck on or about March
10. 1908. The plaintiff, when driving
his team of mules to a farm wagon,
met the auto and his team became
frightened.
He alleges that he called to Smell
to stop until he could drive by the
machine and that he also motioned
to the autoist with his hand to stop
but that Smell refused to stop and
continued to drive the machine with
great speed and noise toward the
mules
The mules whirled and turned the
wagon over, throwing Mr.. Forney to
the ground. The latter asserts that
he was permanently injured about
the arms, back, legs and feet, so that
he is compelled to use a crutch.
He states that the mules were
worth $500 and that they are now
worthless, owing to their being badly
cut by barb wires and were made ner-
vous and untrustworthy for working
or driving. The wagon. which is val
ued at $50, was knocked to pieces
The harness, valued at $50, were
made worthless. Mr.. Forney's time
lost during his illness was worth
500; he says his doctors bill was
500 and the loss of working owing to
his permanent injuries he values at
$1,000.
He has sued for $3.50. Judge H.
c. Sluss is the attorney for the plain
fiff
