OFFICIAL ABSTRACTS.
Petitions to Have Clerk Of Court
to Furnish them.

EDITOR HERALD: - A ques-
ton that very much interests
every property holder in our
county is the matter of the county
commissioners having our land
titles put in proper abstract form
and kept up by the county clerk;
so as to enable every one TO go to
the public Office and see what kind
of title he is buying or selling.
The law is ample, and the commits
sioners are ready to start the work
going.
At the last primary election, u
petition was circulated and signed
at each precinct asking the COM
missioners to proceed 10 do tho
work. The crowd at Arcadia,
who object and prefer a monopoly
of our public records for specula-
tive purposes, dictated the APP
pointment Of inspectors Of cleo
ton; and, while the petitions had
no connection with the election, In
some places they were entrusted to
the inspectors to deliver TO tho
county clerk.
did not entrust the one from
our place, but sent it in myself;
and find the petitions from each
place reached the county clerk,
except the following: Punta Cor
da, Cleveland, Nocatee, Gardner,
Zolfo, Bowling Green, 1T. Green
All other places have filed petitions.
We have to have majority Of tho
voters. We have about $500
voters, and now have about 700
names. Certain parties have Como
to work to get up the petitions
again.
But matter Of so very much
public import, and not a newsps-
per has written word about tho
lost petitions, except Goolsby, and
| did that myself. The question
is, what became OF the petitionsg
/ am told that u candidate for
Office from your town handled tho
petitions down there. You per-
haps know.
These petitions would no doubt
have sold for fancy price Oh tho
Arcadia market. So has the trus-
ty sold them for q price or spir-
tied them away for expected ia
yors Can't you help get track Of
the one from your precinct and lot
us know about itg We won't vote
for any candidate who will do
wrong, and if one has done wrong,
it should be known to the public.
Yours,
G. q MORGAN.
EDITORIAL NoTE: Tho editor of
THE HERALD has never seen any
one Of these petitions and he never
heard of them being in circulation
until he saw the mention made Of
them in the Wauchula Advocate
several weeks ago. He knows alb
solutely nothing about the mat
ter--was never apprised of any
movement being inaugurated to
have the clerk and recorder of tho
county to furnish official abstracts.
He will say, however, that he
thinks the proposition is a good
one.
p. S.--Since the above was in
type, the editor has found and
signed the petition. 1t is at
Rasch's barber shop.

FERTILIZER FACTORY
Soon to Be Operated and Run
by Home People.

The Times yesterday arrangements
have been completed by the Tam
pa Fertilizer Go. TO commence OPP
erations at this point, and just as
soon as the big factory and ware
house building can be completed
and the machinery installed new
industry of considerable magnitude
will have been added to the list of
those now operating in this city,
Contracts have been let to
Aulick and Deratt for the con-
struction of u building to cost
$4,000, and to be situated on u
tract of land leased from the
Seaboard Air Line at Maxwell
street and Eva avenue. The
structure will be L-shaped, $50
feet long and 80 feet wide. The
contractors have given bond to
complete the structure in go days,
and actual work was begun this
morning. The structure will be n
very substantial one, all Of tho
timbers being of great size, so as
to insure staunch building, as
the weight of the materials to be
used in the manufacture of fertil-
izers will be considerable,
The Tampa Fertilizer Go. was
organized in 1900 and has been in
operation since that time, but the
fertilizers have been manufactur-
ed at Baltimore and shipped here
to be sold by the company, The
company has virtnaly been reor-
ganized and will now be in q posi-
ton to turn out the product of a
big plant in the city whose name
it bears. w. b. Chisholm, who
is president of the company, is
also president of the Germofert
Manufacturing Co. Of Charleston,
concern which is doing an i'm
mense business, and is now con-
structng a branch house at Atlanta
which will do a big business. Mr..
Chisholm was formerly general
manager of the Virginia-C Carolina
Chemical Co. He left that fam
Gus company to go into business
for himself and commenced the
manufacture of the Germofert
formula, which is his own, and
pronounced Il decided improve
ment over the other formulas.
Germofert has met great sales in
other states, as well as in Florida,
where it was introduced about two
years ago, with good results.
The Tampa Fertilizer Co. will
be large importers of chemicals
from Germany and other coun-
tries. The stuff will he bought in
shiploads and brought to Tampa
without transhipment. Having
ample capital and such connection,
the Tampa concern will be able to
purchase raw materials at the low
est cost and turn them into high
grade fertilizers. This will allow
consumers to obtain the highest
class of goods at a low figure.
Col. w. X. Fuller of Tampa is
vice president and treasurer of the
company. He is well known
throughout the state as man well
yersed in the business. V. H.
Lanier, also of Tampa, and init.
mateIy connected with Colonel
Fuller, is secretary. The capital
ization is 500, 900.
By October competent sales
men will be placed on the road to
solicit orders for the company's
products. The company already
has an established businesses, and

more scarce every year; and what
is left ut the present date that is
desirable, is so far from railroad
or water transportation that il
must be considered prohlbitory,
until railroads branch out more
freely looking for traffic.
Settlers who have contemplated
the pre-empting of land only to
learn that nothing remains for the
homesteader but isolated tracts too
far from civilization TO be consid-
cred for u moment, may be sur
prised to learn that DeSoto Coun-
ty, Florida, has over $4,000 acres
of fine land that is open for home
steaders. For the benefit of those
persons who do not know the steps
required for taking up land, !
will state that an application is
made out describing the desired
piece of land and this is sent to the
Government Land Office in Gaines
vile, Florida Certain papers are
then made out and sent to him
to be signed before a notary;
and in compliance with the laws
regulating the homestending of
land, the settler agrees to erect a
habitation thereon, clear q certain
amount of land, cultivate it, and
live on it for five consecutive
years, when he will prove up his
claim and receive u title to it; or,
he may live on it according to
certain regulations for fourteen
months and then buy the tract of
100 acres for 1926 per acre.
This information may be superflu-
Gus to the average man; but, as
women seldom acquaint them
selves with legal technicalities, l
give it for their benefit, for women
have already taken up homesteads
in this tract and there is no reason
why many more might not.
This body of land was surveyed
in 1859 and the survey turned in
to the Confederate Government in
Richmond. The acts of that Gov
eminent never having official rec
ognition from the u. s. govern
ment, this survey was shelved and
the land was never opened up
until three years ago, when q new
survey was made, all of which
very plainly accounts for the fact
that so large body OF desirable
land was not appropriated long
ago. This is II brief statement OF
the leading facts relative to this
great opportunity that is put in
the reach of two hundred settlers.
The main body of this tract, a
complete township, is located on a
natural watershed whose streams
drain off to the Caloosahatchee on
one side and to Charlotte Harbor
on the other. The western edge
of the township line is exactly Is
miles from Punta Gorda, but, not
withstanding its distance from the
nearest railroad station, there areal-
rerdy 10 families settled out there.
When a sufficient number of set
tiers will go into Embarrassing and
trucking to warrant the expendi-
ture, a branch railroad could be
built to tap the A. G. l.. Down
here in Southern Florida, scarcely
any grading is needed for light
trains. Nearly all of the logging
roads for hauling out timber to
the mills, have the ties laid on
Just cleared ground.

AZ Port Au Prince in Very

Time Now.
CRUISERS ON SCENE.
And Their Arrival Causes the
Foreigners to Feel
More Secure.

PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, Dec L.
The American cruiser DesMoines
came into port this morning. The
arrival of the DesMoines was pro-
ceeded by that of the Tacoma and a
French cruiser. British and italian
cruisers are expected shortly.
With their advent foreigners feel
more secure in the event of an en-
gagement between the rebels and the
troops OF the government, which is
apparently bound to occur ina very
short space of time.
The night passed without any SER
ious outbreak, but an attack is ex-
pected at any moment.
