PLANS FOR A COLONY
Omaha Florida Land Com.
pany Will Settle Land.
Sixty nine Thousand Acres West
of Ten Mile Greek to be Put
on the Market Very Soon.

on Tuesday evening an enthusiastic
meeting of the Board of Trade was held
in the court house, the session being
called by the president to confer and
extend information to Messrs. A. B.
Hunt, of Omaha, Neb.; Ben, I. Tanner
aud A. G. Bauder, OF Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, and w. Ross Pedley, of Bertrand,
Nebraska.
These gentlemen compose the Omaha
Florida Land Company and have spent
the last week looking over large tract
of land in St. Ducie county and which
will very soon be put on the market
The tract consists of $4,000 acres lying
west Of Ten Mile creek between Dinner
Hammock and Eagle Island, and is one
of the most fertile spots in the State.
Mayor r. Whyte was elected tempo
rary chairman, in the absence OF the
president, and Mr.. Hunt was intro-
,duced. He stated that it was the pur
pose of the land company to place this
tract on the market and sell to actual
settlers, or, in other words, 1t would be
a colonization plan, whereby scores of
new citizens would be brought to St.
Lucie county. One of the principal
drawbacks in inducing settlers tolocate
in new counties was the road PROPOSE
,tion and he wanted an official state
ment from the Board of Trade showing
that certain moneys would be spent on
roads in thatsection ofSt. Luciecounty.
A committee of three-A, X. Wilson,
A. B. Brown and j. E. Andrews-was
appointed to prepare statement along
the lines wanted 10y Mr.. Hunt and his
associates showing that a hard-surfaced
road would soon be built in the vicinity
of these lands.
Mr.. Tanner also addressed the gath
-ering along drainage, taxation and
homeseeker rates. In the course OF his
remarks he showed that a discrimina-
tion was mades in the rates In favor OF
the West Coast and that the excursion
list could go from Chicago to Fort Ny
ers considerably cheaper than to Fort
Pierce-the former distance being the
greater. After discussion OF the mat
ter a committee was appointed to make
an investigation, with power to act to-
wards adjusting the rate.
Each of the speakers expressed them
selves as agreeably surprised with the
conditions in this county and are very
enthusiastic over the proposition they
are now handling. 1t is their purpose
to widely advertise their lands and in
cidentally the whole Of St. Lucie county,
and they spent several days here
gathering data and photographs for the
booklet which will be issued immedi-
ately. Some system Of drainage will
be installed by the company on their
lands and Mr.. Tanner, who has had ex
perience all over the United States,
says this proposition is one OF the sim
plest problems of drainage that ne ever
viewed.
These gentlemen returned homeward
Wednesday morning after assurance OF
the hearty cooperation of the Board OF
Trade In their plan to colonize por-
ton OF our fertile soil,

Bethlehem Steel company had their in
ninss before President Taft. David
Williams. chairman OF the executive
committee of the strikers. and John
Loughrey. one OF the officials. were
introduced TO the president by Repre-

were also accompanied by J. J. Taze-
laar and Arthur E. Holder. represent
ing the American Federation OF Labor.
Mr. Williams told the president that
conditions in the steel plant were I'M
bearable; that the employees. who are
unorganiZed were required to work
twelve fifteen and eighteen hours each
day for from 8 cents an hour up: that
the strike was precipitated by the dis
missal of three men who refused to
work on Sunday for almost nothing:
that American laborefs were consist
emily and persistently Disseminated
AGAINST in favor OF foreigners: that the
steel people imported foreign labor in
violation OF the immigration laws;
that Charles NJ. Schwab had compel
ed local business men to take his side
of the case by threatening to shut
down his works altogether; that he
had declared il had cost him ST .000.-
600 to get the contracts for the con-
struction of bat1leships for the Argen-
tine Republic. and that. while Ameri-
can werkingmen had no prejudice
against the foreigners. they did not
feel that Ame'i lean ships and other
material should be built with foreign
labor employed to the discrimination
and detriment of Americans.
The president asked the strikers to
submit theisxease to him in writing.

From the Daily Item, Feb. %.
Orrin Thigpen, white. and
Henry. Williams, colored, are under
arrest, charged with breaking into
and robbing the store of L. L. John
son in the Curtiss Block, Monday
night. The store was entered
through the back door and by break
ing out a panel.
The thieves got away with only ten
or fifteen dollars worth of goods. so
far as Mr.. Johnson could discover.
The robbery was discovered yester-
day morning when Mr.. johnson
opened his store. Henry Williams
was arrested shortly after the rob-
berry was discovered while hanging
around the back lot in a suspicious
manner. When charged with the
robbery he confessed and implicated
Thigpen. An effort was made to
capture Thigpen, but he made his
escape into Green Swamp and kept
In hiding all day. but last night he
was picked up by officer Owens, who
was on watch near Thigpen's home
at the cotton mill.
Thigpen and Williams are suspect
ed Of stealing ten bushels of peas
from Mr.. H. c. Haynsworth last
week, and williams says Thigpen
stole the peas and he sold them.
Thigpen and Williams were given
"a preliminary before Recorder Hurst
today and were both bound over for
trial at the next term of court.
Williams was also given a prelimi-
nary on the charge of stealing the
peas from Mr.. Haynsworth. Orrin
Thigpen was not a party to this theft.
but his younger brother, a boy twelve
years old, was proven to have assist
ed Williams in the theft and sale of
the peas, which they stole when they
went to Mr.. Haynsworths barn to
deliver several loads Of corn.
They delivered the corn and carried
off the peas which they sold to the
Booth-Harby Co.
Orrin Thigpen is seventeen years
cd and Wiley only twelve. These
boys are fit subjects for the Refor-
matory in Florence.

TO CRUSH SOFA BEANS.
Sumter Cotton Oil Company VIII
Crush Beans This Summer.

The Sumter Cotton Oil Co.'s plant
has been experimenting with the
crushing Of sofa or soy beans, and
the results Of the experiment were
highly satisfactory. A fine grade of
oil was extracted-claimed by some
to be better than cotton seed oil.
The by-product is more valuable as
q stock food that the cotton seed
huils and meal. There is no hulling
Of the beans, but the whole bean is
pressed, and the cake left contains a
high per cent. Of protein.
$4,000 tons Of beans have been
bought from Mississippi and Louisi-
ana for use this summer.
The soy bean will grow in this
section, and is a great soil improver.
1t Is a leagume and stores nitrogen
In the soil, taking it from the at
mosphere. If this business develops.
as it should, this section will have
another money crop.
The beans have been planted
around Sumter for several years.
They grow about three feet tall and
are prolific bearers. Some have
planted them in the vacant places in
the cotton field, and others have
planted them broad cast for forage.
AS stock food they are a good ra-
ton by themselves for the winter
time when stock is not at work. Now
that market Is being opened up for
the beans, there should be no more
Western hay brought in, for better
hay than that shipped here is a by
product Of the bean industry.
The farmers in this section will
watch the development Of this busi-
ness, and may take a hand in it,
