o. rneir aumorIty to mis- view. but It
has been ascertained that the Indians
OF Virginia. though they used a number
Of tuberous roots, did not know our po-
tatO.
One Of these was the plant sometimes
grown as an ornamental climber In our
gardens and called by botanists ApiOs
tuberOsa. The Indians called the roots
potatoes, and the French Canadians
knew them as pommes de terre, and
our potato. being a native Of South
America, was scarcely likely to be
known to the Indians Of Virginia.
Yet the potato was undoubtedly
introduced In England as part Of the
cargo OF one OF Sir Richard Grenvllle's
ships and landed at Plymouth, and the
ship had gone direct from Virginia and
called nowhere on the way. On the
voyage home, however, II had encOun-
tered and captured a Spanish ship from
Santo Domingo. The potatoes were a
part Of the cargo OF the latter vessel.

The Old Bay State Is Now Taking the

The preservation OF the forests is a

future. without trees our country
would be a desert. aud the rapid den.
udation Of our New England hills is
already beginning to have It's eject
upon our streams and rivers and upon
our water supply. The invention Of
wood pulp paper and the rapid extern
sion Of the industry throughout the
country, together with the increase Of
newspaper circulation, have stimulated
the destruction Of the forests to such
a degree that steps are already being
taken to preserve them before 1t is too
late.
Congress has attempted 10 take a
hand IN the matter, but so far with
little avail. and It now remains for the

THE FARMERS BOY.


Idea Of City Life.
The great trouble with country boys
is that they are not aware OF the cir
Cumstances under which the city boy
is compelled to live and work II he has
TO earn his living by the sweat Of his
brow. The idea held up to the country
boy is to 20 to town and get nice,
easy, soft snap such as SO-and-sO has
How many Of them do It? Not one in a
thousand. Far more go there TO End
work in some .close, stagnant mill, to
sweat amid the fumes Of steam or to-
baccO smoke, or perhaps I'm some iron
mill or foundry, surrounded by the
curses Of their fellow men, toll out a
weary day Of eleven or thirteen hours
and after the day is over go home
and to such a home! Up some little
back street In a bandbox built Of brick
and named a. house more than likely
our workman has his home, there TO
pass away the weary hours Of the
night amid the heat and stagnatiOn OF
probably a filthy street only few feet
wide, hot, close and dirty. In any
large city on some sultry night one
may see the workmen and their faml-
lies In these little narrow city streets
stretched about the steps and pave
ments In all conditions. These are not
slums either, but fairly respectable
neighbOrhoOds.
To such a condition Of life many
Of our country boys have gone. and
many more are today preparing to
go. Fat pay and big pay envel-
Opes? Not in these times. II our city
laborer averages $12 a week be Is a
lucky man. Tens Of thousands get less
rather than more. Country boy, before
you make the change, in the name Of
that country you have been taught to
hold in reverence. look and do not
leapi II you understand farming there
are Just as many chances on the land
to be worked out as there are In the
city.
This is a great country. and II
you do not like the kind Of farming
you are working at there are many
others. II you belong to a family that
follows the grind. grind system Of all
work and no play, when you reach
your majority and start for yourself
follow out an easier system. Do not
condemn country life just because you
have been unfortunate enough to be
brought up in the home Of a man who
knows nothing but grind. Do not over
look the fact that II such a man was
your boss In the city he would grind
your life away. Long. long before you
were twenty-One years old you would
be occupying some six feet OF green
turf, where at last you would not hear
the dreaded call and curse Of the boss.
Country life may not be snd probably
is not what many would like to color
II; but, all things being equal, It is far
preferable TO city life. That Is Just
where II comes in. City life Is never
compared with country life on an
equal plane. Remember that II you
must work I'm the country for a living
you will have to work in the city for
one, too, and II you possess the ability
In yourself to rise above the ordinary
workman In the city that same ability
will carve out a home for you in the
country. Look before you leap, con-
slider all things, and IL you are sure
you can better yourself in the city go;
II not, stay on the old farm.

/ lIOntlnueQ from ISL rage,
as being without foundation, Judge
HOugh not even requiring the att0rn-
eys for the railroad 70 present their de-
/ tense.
Il since has been shown that the
whole sO-caled peOnage agitation was
started BY irresponsible wOrkmen who
had been sent south BY the company
and then, after the usual manner Of
hObOes, had run away from their work,
and sought, by their tales Of slavery to
justify their leaving.
Several Of these men had themselves
interviewed for newspaper purposes
but later, when IL came to making afii-
davits as 10 the truth Of their state
ments, they were forced to recant woe
fully, and to admit they we're well
treated while working on the keys.
FREE AMERICAN LABOR.
When the Florida East Coast extern
sion was projected, the Florida Sts te
authorities offered to the railroad,
which has done all its own construction
work without subletting a single con.
tract, the use of every convict under
sentence. Had this offer@been accepted
the road would have had a sufficient
number of men at work at forty cents
day without the importation Of a single !
bit of labor.
When the proposition was outlined 10
Mr.. FlagleT by his representatives he
declined TO build the road by any hands |
other than free American labor, and |
the work of bringing in this labor was
begun AT first the men were paid |
81. 25 day and had to make their con-
trlbutions toward their own commisary /
department. This, as was found early |
in the proceedings, was unsatisfactory |
and within a short time the railroad was |
paying a minimum of 81. so a day to its |
men and providing them with their food !
and quarters Figures connected with |
the work show that it has cost the COM |
pany l08 a day to feed each man EN-. |
plOyed and both Gems. Shuttuc and |
Brooke of the United States army, or |
tours OF inspection Of the work, de- |
cared that the sanitary conditions of |
the camps and of the cOmmissariat for |
the men were better than was TO be /
found in the regular United States |
army.
II a significant fact that while the
so-called peOnage cases were pending 1
in the United States Court fully 1900 |
letters were received by the men in
charge of the construction work and of |
the litigation, written by men who had !
been engaged IN building the road and
who voluntarily offered their services
as witnesses to tell of the conditions Of /
the camps and of the work. The gov
eminent, on the other hand, had to pay |
expensive mileage charges and expense |
accounts for various witnesses that its |
attorneys brought from long distances
without even establishing so much as a
Benblance- OF standardization for its
charges.
It Is noteworthy, in connection with |
all that has been said and written con-
corning the work on this great line, !
that each fall, when construction work |
is resumed after the hot summer months |
more than so per cent of the men who |
90 to the camps are men who have !
worked on the line during previous win
tiers.
The weekly true Democrat. (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1905-1912, 1908-12-11
CARE OF LABORERs.

The camps IN which the men live are
provided with Well-built bunk houses,
each consisting of large sleeping room
with two tiers Of hunks extending down
the center and along each side. Each
bunk is supplied with clean bedding and
clean mattress filled with cut sponges,
and is covered with mosquito netting.
There is a janitor employed at each
house to make the beds and keep the
place clean. Then there Is q camp eat
ing house where fresh meat is served
at least twice a week, although IN hot
climates meat cannot be eaten so hear
tily as in the north.
The houses Of the superintendent and
of the engineers are located in the
camps and there also are libraries we'll
stocked with papers and magazine, to
which the men have free access, and
hospitals, in charge Of surgeons, where
all minor cases of illness or injury are
treated. The more serious cases are
sent to the main hospital Of the road at
Miami. All of these institutions are
maintained by the railroad, which has
already spent upwards OF $4,000 for
medical services.
What this vast enterprise win mean
when completed, TO commercial Cuba,
belongs 70 the realms Of fancy, but 1t
is doubtful IL It's Importance could be
exaggerated. It's utilization would give
the United States q tremendous strate-
gical advantage, from q military stand
point, were il necessary at any time 20
rush troops to the Island Republic.
Furthermore, in view Of the tremen-
dOus possibilities for the future Of Gu
ba, Panama, and South America, the
Flagler road will supply the closest link
connecting the United States with those
countries.
