Prof. Rolls owns handsome grove in
the Miami section and states that it is
Choking fine" He is interested, with
number of other Gainesville people, in
another grove enterprise there, the
promoters having organized a stock
company a couple of years ago and this
property is in the pink of condition.
In speaking of the pineapple CROP
Director Rolls stated that the growers
of the Miami section did not realize to
the extent anticipated on this years
crop, since the pines from Cuba had a
tendency to lower the prices of the
Florida product.
"The Cuban pineapples have a great
advantage over those raised in Florida"
said Prof. Rolls, in replying to the re-
porter's query as to why the East Coast
pines did not bring good prices. 1.-THE
freight rates are arranged in such
manner as to discriminate against us
on this crop, and while the fruit ship
ped by the Miami growers was of much
better quality, the Cuban fruit brought
better prices by virtue of the great
diffeie nce in the freight, rate. For in
stance: Pineapples can be shipped from
Havana, Cuba, through Miami to New
York City for 30 cents less per crate
than the same crate can be shipped
from Miami to New York City if con-
signed from Miami. For this reason,
the Cuban product has an advantage
over that of Florida"

.BATTLESHIP FLORIDA
TO COST 100000

Two million dollars will be required
for the completion of the battIeship
Florida now under construction at New
York navy yard, before the new dread
naught goes to Southern waters upon
final completion. The naval authorities
are confronted with the prospect that
the cost of building the battleship Flor
ida at the navy yard Brooklyn will ex-
coed the limit of Sc, 600, 600 for he con-
struction of hull and machinery imposed
by congress in the law which authorized
the building of that ship and the Utah.
the latter under contract There are
indications that the cost of the hull and
machinery of the Florida will be fully
81, 900. 900 and possibly more than that
sum. 1t is evidently difficult to ascer-
tain just what the excess of cost will
be and the situation is rendered the more
perplexing because of the change in the
system of accounting since the work on
the Florida at Brooklyn was commenced
If it shall appear that the limit of cost
is to be exceeded, it will be necessary
to suspend work on the ship, upon ex-
haustion of the available funds, until
congress increases the limit Of cost.
When completed, the Florida will be
the most powerful battleship in COM
mission by the United States.

What the State of Tennessee especi-
ally needs just at this time is to be de-
livered from Democracy--if Patterson
and his breed are samples of Tennessee
Democracy. The time of the "yellow.
dog Democrat" in the South has passed
Two or four years of Republican rule
would do much to cleanse the State of
Tennessee from the gang that now runs
it; the Republicans couldn't do worse,
end they might do better.
