TarpOn and Other Good FishIns.

Mr.. W. M. Gates and others have
been catching some fine specimens of
Red Fish in the St. Marks river recent
", mention of which was made in this
newspaper. A few days ago he had on
exhibition at T. B. Byrd & Co. g store a
fine 1l0 pound tarpon which he landed
in the ST. Marks river just up from the
Light House, and there are thousands
Of them there awaiting all sportsmen,
who enjoy the best fishing in the world
to come and fish for them to their hearts
content. There is no waters on the Gulf
coast where more fine game fish which
bite good most all the time, than can be
found on our immediate coast, at St.
Marks, East Goose Greek, the light
house, Shell Point, Panacea, st. Teresa,
Lansrk, Dog Island, of a little from
Carrabelle, and ApalaehIcola, and IL is
common every day near st. Marks for
fisherman TO land the very largest kind
Of Red fish, trout, sleeps head and
other varities. IL our people would,
some way, let the Eastern and Northern
fishermen know what fine tarpon and
other game fish can be had Ut almost
any time of from 81. Marks, besides
various other varieties Of hsh, numbers
would visit our coast for an outing and
20 enjoy some Of the best fBhIng 20 be
found 10 the world.

License Taxes Will Soon Furnish
Fnnda.

There is no occasion for worry be-
cause the general revenue fund of the
State is somewhat reduced at this time,
and certainly the incident does not fur
nish ground for the calling of an extra
session Of the Legislature, the expenses
of which would still further reduce the
fund. Several of the counties have not
made full settlement with the State on
account of the taxes for 1907, and it is
less than go days until the license taxes
will be due. The license tax for the
year beginning October lst will amount
to something like 100000 1t will be
seen, therefore, that there is no Occa-
sion for alarm, even if the State is a
little short just now. At this particu-
lar season Of the year we are all little
short, but those who have fall collec-
tions in direct prospect are losing no
sleep over the present reduced size of
their bank accounts. .-Starke Tele-

Our BlOxham Rifles.

The Bloxham Rifles continue TO grow.
They are now in their new armory up
stairs in the Levy building on Jefferson
street. The new quarters are much bet
ter than the old. They have a large and
commodious apartment occupying the
entire second floor of the building. The
company is gradually on the increase in
numbers and efficiency. Before the
State Encampment that takes place next
month, our company will bein fine trim.
Captain Lewis and his corps Of officers
are working hard to get the company
in shape for the encampment. With
such men az Captain Lewis, Lieuten-
ants Walker and Winthrop, Sargeants
Holloway, Keene, Vann and others lead
ing 1t, we can predict nothing but sue
cess for the company.
The Tuesday nights meeting was a
red letter one. After drill the company
assembled around a long table that
would do eyes good to look upon. But
this feast was not one 10 look at as an
on locker could very easily see The
writer could not learn the whenceness
Of the feast, but me thinks that no mas
culine hands prepared that feast. Sew
eral OF the honorary members were
there and jolly good time was had by
all.
Tallahassee should take a deep inter
est in the company and lend all the as
sistance possible in making it one Of
the best in the State in every respect.
Let the soldier boys know that you ap-
preeiate them and their organization by
giving them all the financial and per-
sonal encouragement you can, for like

ORGANIZATION OF
TOBACCO GROWERS
,tlson-Counsy Has Excellent Grade Of
Tobacco.


Leon county's tobacco yield far sur
passed the expectations Of many of its
growers. The grade Of the tobacco is
the highest. The buyers thathave seen
our tobacco have seen all in the State
and say that Florida has none better.
Our growers have been offered the
highest prices that the present market
has to offer. The prFes are down now
because of the great financial panic and
also because Of the poor grade OF the
leaf that was grown everywhere last
year. Last year was not good season
for growing it as this year has been.
This season has been ideal, and our
growers have grown the best.
The present prices are not all Halter
ing. In fact, our growers say they Will
not accept present prices for their to-
bacco. For this reason a large number
Of our growers held a meeting in the
City Hall Monday night for the purpose
Of organizing and taking their tobacco
off the market. Our growers, most OF
them. don't have to sell their tobacco
now. They are not financially depressed
and can afford to wait until things look
better. Mr.. Wahnish, one Of the most
experienced packers in the State, and
owner of an immense packing house
here, made the growers an excellent
proposition to pack their tobacco for
them. He agreed TO ferment, assort,
select, size and properly pack their to-
baccO at fifteen cents pound.
A large per cent of our growers
agreed to unite in this manner and have
their tobacco packed. Others are going
to have their tobacco packed indepen-
deut. Therefore most of Icons tobac-
co crop has been taken off the market.
This means that regardless Of the pres
ent low prices Of tobacco, our tobacco
will by being packed AID in the course
Of a little delay bring its usual high
prices. The growers will sell direct to
the big consumers and will not have to
bother with the middle man-the packer.
4 Another very encouraging feature for
e new organization was that the
news of the meeting reached Monticello
and two Of her largest growers, repre-
senting as many more, were present
asking TO become members of the or
ganizatiOn. OF course they will be re-
ceived as Leon and Jefferson always
went hand in hand when it comes to do
ing each other a good turn. We can be
Of aid to Jefferson by letting item come
into the compact and it will add that
much more to the already big tobacco
center that Tallahassee is.
This means much to Leon county. lt
means that low prices Of tobacco is not
going to throw Leon county into hard
times as il will other counties that are
growing 1t. 1t means that we will have
several more large packing houses be-
fore the stalks are stripped another year.
We have several large growers, some
Of them are individuals and some of
them are companies, who are going TO
build packing houses of their own.

OHIO

Cincinnati, O.-At Tuesdays cleo
ton Ohio polled vote that surpasses
the million ballots deposited four
years ago, making q new high record
for Ohio voters.
Enough was known early Tuesday
night to make 1t evident that the Re-
publicans had given a heavy vote for
Taft, and that Harmon, Democrat,
had won out for governor; but exact
figures were slow in coming In. The
immense ballot, which had compelled
the making of special boxes and some
increases In the booths was In part
responsible for this slowness. but
the large number Of Taft.Harmon
votes cast caused much OF the diff
ficulty.
Taft carried Ohio by probably over
10000; which Harmon won by about
10000. Such as have been received
onminor candidates, although meagre.
indicate the probable victory Of all
