HOW SPECTATORS HARM
FLORIDA

Dear Sir:-There may be some
good, honest readers of your splen-
did papers who are thinking of COM
ing to Florida, and this letter is
written to them.
| am farmer and truck grower.
Have been in the State since 1878.
Have no land to sell, neither am 1
agent for any one. Have no axe to
grind, but thought it my duty to
write and to tell the Gods truth.
Silver Spring Park, lying on and
adjacent to one of our main trunk
lines, within eight miles of Ocala,
twenty-five years ago was a full
blooming speculative land scheming
town, just like our land speculation
schemes of today. Now it is almost
deserted, not dozen families in the
place. Nearly the whole of it sold
for taxes; would not pay taxes on
the most of it if given me. Hundreds
of thousands lost in this town.

FROM AN ALMOST DISCOURAGED
DEMOCRAT.

Dear Sir:-I was raised under old
JeffersOnian doctrine and principles,
which l have adhered to ever since.
I voted the Democratic ticket up
to 1872, which included the voting
for Greeley-the straw that broke
the camel's back.
We then organized the Farmers
Movement in 1878, nominated
county ticket, and elected the whole
ticket, though some of them turned
out traitors after being elected. Then
the Greenback party came into ex-
istence, which principles | advocate
today, fully believing if the Govern
ment would issue all the money,
full legal tender for all purposes, it
would be the greatest check the
money power could receive, which
would be only justice to the whole
people.
| am eighty-six years old; would
like to live to see you elected Presi-
dent Of these United States | have
voted for you every chance l had to
do so.
Keep up your fire on deserters, the
missionary craze and Socialism-all
crookedness wherever found.
| remain with you in the grand
principles you advocate
Yours to the end.

REPUBLICANS HAVE FORSAKEN
ALL LINCOLN'S POLICIES.

Dear Sir:-My father was mem
Der of Co. E, Gath Illinois infantry
during the Civil War, and was, of
course, a staunch Republican, and
brought me up in the same faith.
| was taught that Lincoln was the
greatest man we ever had, and l still
think SO; but the present day stand
patter has gone off from Lincoln and
all of his policies and are working
for the privileged class, forgetting
the masses.
l have been a member of the Bap-
fist church for eighteen years, but
never have l given a penny to For
eign Missions yet, and never will as
long as 1 retain my mental faculties
You are exactly right in your re-
ligious belief, which is apostolic
You hit the nail on the head when
you hit Socialism. If we were all
perfected people Socialism would be
a pretty good system to live under
You are right on Catholicism, and
I'll say that Tom Watson comes pref
ty nearly being on the right side of
every question.
There are several men who would
make goodPresidential timber for the
new progressive party in 1912. Every
man to his own notion, but were l
called on to name some of them l
would begin thus:
T. E. Watson of Georgia.
Bristow of Kansas.
LaFollette of Wisconsin.
Roosevelt of New York.
Beveridge of Indiana.
Cummings of Minnesota
Others could be named, but these,
and others like them, are the ones
that will have to give us the liberties
once possessed by our forefathers in
the days when Jefferson Democracy
reigned supreme.
Never will / again be guided by
yellow dog politics." but by policies,
principles and men who advocate
them.
Hoping you all the success due
every man of honesty, courage and
ability, I am your friend,

MACON TO HAVE BIG HOME.
COMING DURING STATE
FAIR WEEK.

Dear Sir:-The Georgia State Fair
is endeavoring to bring back to the
state every person that has left here
in years gone by.
We make a strong request that
any citizen Of your city who knows
of the address Of any person who
has left Georgia will send names to
me, that the parties may be sent an
invitation and printed matter invit-
ing them back to Georgia to see the
State Fair. They may be astonished
at the progress of our Dear Old
State and decide to come back
home and live
Hoping that you will take up this
matter at once and help us to get
the names Of 5000 ex-Georgians, we
beg to remain, Yours very truly,

urer.

EUGENE ANDERSON,
President Georgia-Alabama Business
College, Macon, Ga.
j. w. Rountree, with the real es-
tate firm of Ware & Hughes, Atlanta,
Ca, writes: 81 have had it proven
to my satisfaction that the Georgia.
Alabama at Macon is the best bust
ness college in the South today, be-
cause it is presided over by the most
tireless and intelligent worker that
young business people ever had as
champion and friend. Mr.. Anderson
is genius in his work and gets re-
suits that are out of the reach of
most men. He has made the Geor-
gia-Alabama truly great training
school, in which the highest theories
and most perfect practice are COM
bined."
Mr.. Anderson says he would rather
train student perfectly on credit
than to give him an imperfect course
for the cash. This has proven a
winning motto.

The saying among English-speak-

1t is rarely the case that any one
can learn a new trade after reaching
that age. The mental lines are apt
to become rigid by that time; and
whatever the average person is at
that mature period, he or she will
continue to be. Of course there are
many notable exceptions to this rule,
but generally the exception is of ex-
traordinary genius and versatility

DEEP OR SHALLOW FLOWING?

One Of my neighbors started his fall
blowing early this year. J saw him
last week sCufling along behind his
two little mustang ponies that We're
trying to drag a 14-inch pillow He
ras turning up the soil about 8 inches
deep, and when he came to a partjcu-
i0rly hard spot he bore down on the
handles and let the pillow point skim
close to the surface. / don't believe
that the soil four inches below the
surface ever saw the light In any OF
his fields.
No wonder he is always complain
ing OF poor crops. / once suggested
that If he would use a ten-inch pillow
and set 1T to run even five or six
inches deep he would get better re-
suits, but 1 simply got snubbed for my
pains. which served me right for med
ding. 1t takes a big ~24-hundred
pound team to draw a 14-inch pillow
and get down to the proper depth. !
am a firm believer in deep plowlng.
The depth should be lowered gradu-
ally. / do not think it is a good plan
to sink a sub-soil pillow deep into the
furrow and turn up soil that has lain
dormant for years. A better plan is
to pillow an inch or two deeper every
year and in this way bring the bottom
soil to the surface gradually. 1t will
absor plant food more readily and in
the long run produce better crops

PEARLS FROM COCOANUTS.

Few people know that the cocoa
nuts of the Malay Peninsula some
times produce pearls that are highly
priced by the natives.
The stones are not unlike the pearls
of the molluskS and are similar In
composition to the oyster pearls, hav-
ing calcium arbona and a little or
ganic matter. The mollusk pearl is
said to come into existence by the
efforts Of the oyster to dispose OF irri-
tating particles that have entered the
she'll; but the ~cocoanut could have no
cause for producing these connections
which,, while they have great Sin1ilari-
ty to the pearl are not pearls. These
concretions form just beneath the
stem, and a pure white pearl brings
q high price, as it is supposed by the
natives to possess some kind Of a
charm. Cases have been known
where the cocoanut pearl has been
sold as a mollusk product, but such
instances are rare. 1t is not proba-

LATE GARDEN WORK.

If you are fond of young onions do
not fail to set out a bed Of top onions
for the very earliest use in the spring.
They do O form bulbs but are more
in form like solutions. Yet in early
spring it is indeed refreshing to ne
able to find an onion bed ready Tor
use. The tops OF the seed stalk pro
'duce small bulbs which should be set
in autumn, and thus the stock re-
newed from ear to year. While the
plant is perennial. the bulbs are more
tender when grown each year from
bulbs planted in the autumn,
Select your SEED sWeet corn rom

HOUSING THE BEES.

The bees should be taken into the
cellar some time in November. The
covers OF the hives will be all sealed
down tight and it will not be neces-
sary to disturb them, but the hives
should all be loosened from the bot
tom boards, SO that there will be no
jar when they are picked up.
Great care should be taken not to
aFouse the bees or they are likely to
fill themselves with honey and it will
be probably five or six months be-
lore they have a cleansing fight.
The picture shows how hives can
best be transferred to the cellar. Lay
on the cellar floor two joists and place
the hives on them six or eight inches
apart. The next tier is placed on
ton Of the first, Zach hive resting on
two under. This will give ample
