Tampa Times:-ln that Juggling
iniquity known as the tariff sys-
tenn of the country-where skill
and lack of conscience are the
prime factors of success-Florida
gets the worst of it. Her people
pay protective tariff prices on ev-
erything they buy from other sec
tions, but get no corresponding
benefit. On citrus fruits her
freight rates alone are larger than
the customs duties and freight
rates of her competitors. That is
not an exemplary model of equita-
BILE adjustment, and when the peo-
ple of Florida call attention to it,
they are jeered at as turncoats on
the tariff question. Not at all.
Having put our money into the
game under compulsioh, we want a
square deal.

N. N. WAKEFIELD KILLED
With Four Other Men in a Rail-
road Wreck Near Ocala.

One of the most disastrous
wrecks on the Seaboard Air Line
in many years occurred at Silver
Springs Junction near Ocala just
before one O'Clock last Saturday
morning and caused the deaths Of
five men, among whom was Mr. N.
N. Wakefield, who was formerly q
resident of this city and has many
friends here, who regret to learn
Of his death.
The wreck was the result Of a
head.on collision between two
freight trains travelling at a rapid
speed, and Mr.. Wakefield was the
engineer on the south-bound train.
The north. bound train should
have gone into siding before
reaching the junction, but through
a misunderstanding of orders
failed to do so.
1t is supposed that Mr.. Wake
field was in the act of jumping
when the two trains collided, for
his engine turned over and he was
buried beneath the debris Of the
wrecked mogul in way that in
dicated such. His body was not
recovered until a late hour Satur-
day night. 1t was taken to Jack
sonville Sunday where it was in
tered with Masonic honors Mon
day afternoon, the deceased hay
ing been a member of Solomon
Lodge No. 20 of that city.
Mr.. Wakefield was one of the
most reliable employees of the
Seaboard, having been in the SER
vice many years. He leaves
wife and six children to mourn his
loss. 1t was only a few years ago
that this estimable family removed
from here to Jacksonville and
many friends in this city amongst
whom is the editor of The HER
AID, deeply sympathize with the
bereaved ones.
The veteran engineer was liked
by everyone and his loss is espe-
cially lamented by his fellow
workmen among whom he was
Familiarity known as Dad" Wake
field.
p. ID. Smith of Leonard, w.
Va, 4. X. Philbrick of Jackson
vile and two negroes, all members
of the train crews, were the other
four men killed in the wreck.
Engineer G. W. johnson and con-
ductor T. A. Jones of the north
bound freight escaped with a few
severe bruises, the former having
jumped from his engine before the
two trains went together. The
negro fireman on both locomotives
escaped by jumping and sustained
only few minor bruises.

week. Within 5 miles of Punta
Gorda, with 400 Of our piles, the
tide changed and they left the raft
anchored and camo home. Ches-

Mirage to get them and Capt. Ivey
generously agreed to go, although
then night. Norman Hewitt also
volunteered to go and help. They
found the raft and got home at
midnight supposing they had 1t in
tow. We found the boom next
morning, but no logs in 1t. The
boom had broken open and logs
all gone. A searching boat went
miles down the bay with Norman
Hewitt and Mr.. Bryant, but could
find no logs.

TO Punta Gorda people and friends
of the contracting parties in other
cities was that of Mr.. w. w.
Jarrett and Miss Ellen Cooper,
which was solemnized in the Epis-
copal church here last Thursday
at 1915 p. m.
Only about twenty-five persons
were present, among them being
the near relatives and few Of the
most intimate acquaintance of the
bride, no formal invitations hav-
ing been issued and the time set
for the marriage not having been
generally known.
Attired in a travelling dress Of
brown cloth with gloves and hat
to match, the bride had never look
ed lovlier than when she came in
from a side entry and leaning on
the arm of her father, Hon. +. M.
Cooper, who gave her away, APP
preached the center and front Of
the church, where she was met by
the groom, who wore the coven-
tional black. Taking a position
in front of the officiating clergy
man, DIR. Irenaeus Trout, they
were Joined together In the bonds
of Holy Matrimony in that i'm
pressive manner prescribed in the
beautiful ceremony of the Epis-
copal church,
The subdued light in the church
at the time, the burning Of the
candles and the absence of attend
ants all tended TO add solemnity to
the occasion, and the answers Civ
en- by groom and bride we're dis
tinctly heard by all present.
After receiving congratulations,
the happy couple went direct ia
the depot and departed on the A.
o'clock train for a brief visit to rel
atives of the bride in Manatee
county, after which they proceed
cd to their future home in Mari
ana. A large crowd assembled a,
the train to shower them with rice
and good wishes.
Mr.. Jarrett is a popular young
business man of Mariana, having
an interest in a saw mill there and
being a lumber merchant, and his
personal appearance and manly
bearing Indicate that he realizes
the value of tile prize that has fal.
len to his lot and will endeayor t.
prove himself worthy Of her, fol-
in his bride he has won one Of
Punta Gcrda's prettiest and most
estimable young ladies. For q
number Of years she has been a
resident of this community, having
grown to womanhood here, and
she is beloved by many. That she
will make the man upon whom
she has bestowed her love, a mod
ell wife, goes without saying. In
her removal from here Mariana
gains where Punta Gorda loses;
but the best wishes Of o host Of
friends accompany her.

SUBSTITUTE FOR WOOD
Probable Effect OF Use OF Cement
on Lumber Prices in Future.

The relation between the in
creasing use If cement and TIM
diminishing timber supply in thu
United States has heen the snbIeol
of some interesting Correspond
ence between the Geological Sur
vey and the Forest Service al
Washington. In a letter to the
Forester, the Director Of the Sur
yey took occasion to quote from
u statement of large Philadel-
phia firm to the effect that It would
be difficult to estimate what thu
additional drain on the lumber
supply would have been during
the last few years had not cement
come into such general use. Tho
Forester replied in part as fol
lows:
"The Forest Service 10 watch
ing with o great deal Of intcresl
the increasing use of cement and
other substitutes for wood. They
are undoubtedly having some in
fluence on the price If lumber,
thnugh do not think that up to
|thSpresent time they have greatly
retarded the advance In lumber
prices, The fact is that our in
dustriaI progress has been SD
great that our requirements for
every kind Of Structural material
have increased tremendously. We
are using ut the present time morn
lnmberper capita than ever before
and probably twice as much per
capita as we did fifty years ago.
The conclusion can not be escaped,
therefore, that in the future wa
mnst depend more than in the past
on other materials than wood for
certain purposes at least. AS to
the increase that will tike plach
III tho production of cement, my
impression is that this will be very
great.
II this increase in the use of cs-
ment in the United States in past
years is to be regarded as any
index TO its future use, the CON
ciusions of the Forester are well
founded. The stalistics Of the
production Of minerals show that
.oar output of cement has mors
than doubled in the last five years,
aud il is well known that its use O.
very widely extended. This IL

place, reinforced concrete for

A PUzzLING DISEASE
Is the Yellow SpOttlng Of Leaves
OF Citrus Trees.

OF Citrus Trees.
Tie following bulletin was pre-
pared by Prof. b. Il. Floyd, Of
the Florida Agricultural Expert
ment station: During this sum
mer and fall, specimens Of citrus
leaves affected by greasy yellow
spotting have been received at the
Experiment Station from several
localities in the citrus region.
This disorder has been noticed in a
few places in previous years, bat
It has evidently been more preya-
lent during the present season.
Some of the places from which II
has been reported are Tropic,
Deland, Winterhaven, Eustis,
and Clearwater. Several affected
groves have been carefully stud
led. In one orange grove nearly
every tree was Affected, and In
some trees . healthy leaf was hard
TO find. In another grove which
was shielded and contained both
oranges and grapefruit, from fifty
to seventy-6ve per cent. Of al the
trees were more or less attacked,
1t was equally bad on ham
mock and high pine land, No
relation to any particular brand
Of fertilizer was noticed.
Grapefruit appears to be more
frequently and severely affected
than oranges, although the disor-
der seems not TO be- confined 10
any particular variety of citrus
Among oranges, the King and En-
terprise Seedless were found to be
very susceptible.
The symptoms of this malndy
seem to be confined to the leaves
although spotting was noticed
on some fruits from q grove neal
Eustis, that very much resembled
the spots on the leaves. The APP
pearances ON the leaves are vel
lowish to golden-colored spots, q
fraction of an inch or more in di'
ameter. They usually occur be-
tween the main veins, and extend
through the substance Of the leaf.
The spots differ in appearance on
the upper and under surfaces OF
the leaf. On the upper surface,
the yellowish or golden color Is
more noticeable, and the central
portion of the colored area Is
often darker in color than The
margin. The spot Is usually not
raised above Che upper surface O
