Sharpes, Fla, July 10.-Noticing the in

at the present time and the increased
activity in the purchase of real estate

We, OF the pioneer settlers. who have

experience offforty years IN the growing
OF citrus fruits in Florida may have
given me knowledge that would be OF
value that I am writing this article.

and maturing a hve-acre citrus grove
that presents the best plan that my forty

Planter Has Advantage Now.
one starting now has so much the ad-
vantage OF US older settlers in inexperi-
enced methods, improved and better pay

facilities and markets.
I am going to suppose that a man IS
Just beginning and desires to eventually
have a hve-acre grove, and that while
the grove IS maturing he desires TO de
rive some profit from the land. and. for
that matter. the same plan can be exi
tended over ten, fifteen, or as many
acres as a man desires to handle: the
proportions would be the same.
It is, Of course, well known that the
cost or clearing land differs greatly.
there being no comparison between the
cost Of clearing hammock and pine land.
nor is there any comparison between the
pine lands on the Upper East Coast and
the pine lands around Miami.
These rocky lands being about as ex-
pensive as hammock. il would. therefore.
be impossible TO make a statement that
would cover the entire East Coast, IN

DOUBLE MURDER
AROUSES CITIZENS
Police Have No Clue to
Slayer of Woman and
Baby.

ST. LOUIS, Aug 2.-Excitement is
running high at Granite city over the
murder OF a, woman and two-year-old
baby, whose bodies were found in a
meadow near that city yesterday with
bullet holes through the head.
Posses are securing the country for
suspects, including a man who was
seen with the murdered pair shortly
before their bodies were found
Chief Of Police Frank Gottselig and
men of his department have not de-
termined the identity of the woman and
child. nor have they the least real clue
20 the murdered. They are baffied by
the mystery which surrounds the case.
The woman and child were found on
the levee at a point about one-fourth
Of mile south of the Horse Shoe Lake
car line. They apparently had been
murdered while they slept. as there
were no signs of a struggle.
The police found the woman. about
thirty years old, with bullet hole
through her right ear The child was
behind her on a pillow. She also had
been SHOT through the head.
The child was dressed in a short blue
gown, faded and tattered and was with
OUT shoes or stockings. The features of
the infant were small, it's complexion
very light. It but slightly resembled the
woman. II is this that makes the police
think the woman was not her mother.
Nearly 1850 people visited the morgue.
Many were women, and several little
children were taken by their parents TO
view the bodies.

suddenly discovered today that tie
former ruler. since his(enforccd retire

This discovery by the committee.
showing that their worst fears were

excitement.
The Young Turks government viii i'm

TepTessive measures. Il VIII prosecute
for treason a large number Of the
former Sultan's advisers, partisans and
co-plotters.
The worst feature of the discoveries
thus made came through a special detail
Of spys which was constantly watching
Abdul Hamid. It has been found that
his plans have been forwarded BY many
of the officers who are supposed to
guard him and who have been won over
by promises.
Another thing which has spread alarm
among the Young Turks is the fact
that the army itself is honeycombed
with treason. fully half the officers and
men remaining loyal 70 the deposed
sovereign.
