Oil Producing State.

The idea of Florida as an oil bear
ing state will be a new one to most OF
her oldest inhabitants, as we'll as to
the rest of the world. ]. w. Keys, of
Quincy, has long believed that petro-
leum deposits underlie the soil of
Gadsden county and he has been for
some time experimenting to establish
the belief. Within a short time he has
found a small pocket of oil 80 feet be-
low the surface. The quality has been
declared excellent, and it is considered
that If small deposits exist, it is good
evidence that the oil may be found in
larger and paying quantities.
Efforts are being made in different
sections of the state for petroleum, but
it appears that the best results so far
have been obtained in Gadsden coun-
ty. A spirit OF confidence prevails
generally over the state as to the ulti-
mate bringing in an oil we'll. Gov.
Albert w. Gilchrist, speaking on the
subject in recent letter to Mr.. Keys.
says that "it afforded me much pleas
ure to see at the county fair recently
held at Quincy. your samples of oil.
I was glad to see that some one else
felt as I did that oil will sooner or
later be discovered in Florida am
so satisfied of this that from now on
there will go into every deed to lands
sold by the trustees OF the internal i'm
provement fund or the state board OF
education a clause reserving one-haif
of all oil which may be found on any
land sold by the state.-Financial and

crop of oranges and grapefruit and

the state has ever produced. and equal
to California crop. This would be

REGULATION by Law.

One OF the very important duties
that viii devolve upon the legislature
which meets in April will be the regu-
lation of the liquor trafic in this state.
Some radical changes in that traffic are
greatly needed, changes that will make
it squirm and vince and howl, for that
will be the proof that the medicine Is
having it's desired effect upon the pa
tient. During the recent prohibition
campaign the liquor people, in fear Of
the result, profusely and perspiringly
assured the public that If they were
not driven out of business by the pop
ular voice at the polls, they would get
good right away. make their traffic as
decent as they knew how and by their
own regulation abate as far as possibl4
it's inherent evils. After their victory
at the polls that promise went for
nothing, of course, and now it is up to
the legislature to bring the traffic I'M
der drastic compulsory rules. Public
sentiment demands it. Early closing
should be one of the rules, and an
other feature, to which no Importance
has been attached in this state,
although the Alabama legislature is
now aroused to its vital character, Is
and more poisonous brands of liquor,
and by rigid inspection and severe pen
alties, confine the sale as far as pos
sible to the least hurtful kinds. And
in order to hold the sword of Damocles
over the traffic, there should be ex
plicit and unmistakable provision made
for forfeiture OF license upon failure to
obey the law. The Punta Gorda Her
aid also suggests the following which
is worth thinking about:
IF we cannot have statewide pro-
hibition, let us have the next best
thing, which is the municipal liquor
store with one half the profits going to
the state. We think we would not be
missing it far if we estimated the total
profits of the liquor business through
out Florida at two million dollars II
year. If this sum could be applied to
the maintenance Of schools and hos
pitfalls. the building of good roads or
any other benefcent purpose it would
in a few years place Florida in advance
of any state in the south. Live Oak

Field and Orchard Crops in Delta
County Look Better Than

The facts that crop yields are
to be abundant in this section, as

Our field crops and our orchards
are going to bring enough money
this fall to bulge the bank vaults
of every bank in Delta county and
tear loose the suspender buttons of
the growers with the weight of the
silver. gold and currency in their
pantaloon pockets.
At least it looks that way now
and there is no danger period ahead
to hazard the outcome.
The field crops, excepting the
suFar beets, are practically made
some have already been harvested.
The Jerry. crops and small fruits
are either marketed OF safe
Peaches are getting ripe and apples
are rapidly getting their growth.
The sugar beet stand is good and
fine crop is assured. Early po-
tatoes will be harvested next month
and will be marketed at bonanza
prices. Alfalfa. Wheat and oats are
a good crop.
Prices for all crops promise
above the average and il is thought
that Delta county's products this
ear will not fall short of $1,000
600 cash. with a possibility that the
aggregate may reach 100000.
Either amount will not only
place the people of the county in
easy conditions. but will give
majority of them money TO bank

Engineer Scholtz Makes Fast Run

Whipping around curves, up and
down grades, impervious to all dan
gers and needless of all warnings,
Engineer Billy" Scholtz last even
ing with Fireman Lick made a
record run from Delta to this city
in race with death. When the
painting engine drew up at the
station after making the trip of 81
miles at the rate of a mile min
ute, Engineer Scholtz was met at
the depot with an automobile and
dashed to the St. Mary's hospital
where he had been called by the
serious illness of his wife.
About a week ago Mrs. Scholtz
was taken i'll with typhoid and was
brought down from a fishing trip
along the narrow guage to the
hospital. Her death has been mo-
mentarily expected, but this morn
ing she seemed stronger and her
husband made his run up the third
division. He left word that he be
telegraphed if his wife should take
turn for the worse.
Late yesterday afternoon she grew
suddenly worse anC lears were held
out for her life. A telegram was
dispatched to the husband, who
was in Delta. and he was granted
4 special engine by Master Mechanic
Pagan. With Fireman Lick they
made a record run and arrived here
at $50 p. m.
Mrs. Scholtz was still living and
with the sight of her husband had
grown much stronger.-GrandJ juno
