Florida could and should have

to have to send to Ireland and pay

LONG AND SHORT HAuLS ON
RAILROADS

Claiming that anyone with little
enough sense to wear a Ounce cap
can figure that there is. no reason
why railroad should haul ton of
freight from Jacksonville to Tampa
cheaper than it hauls it to Ocala, not
more than hair the distance, Editor
Harris of the Ocala Banner is max
ing a terrific complaint against the
practice of the railroads.
The long and short haul business
has been a question argued pro and
con for many years, but the long and
short haul doesn't figure in the case
of Ocala and Tampa-it's competitive
water rates.
The railroads figure that they must
compete with the water transporta-
ton companies, and therein comes
the rub. The same train may have
car of freight and haul it to Ocala
and have another and haul it through
Ocala and on to Tampa at about
half the rate charged for the car to
Ocala.
An employe of a railroad in Jack
sonville, and one in a position TO
know, says that the East Coast rail
road gets more for hauling a carload
of potatoes from Hastings than the
other roads, where there is water
competition, get for hauling the same
carload to New York or any of the
northern and eastern markets.
If the roads can afford to haul a
carload of freight to Tampa from
Jacksonville and compete with the
ship lines, then the rate to Ocala or
intermediate points should be made
according to the number of miles.
The present practice discriminates
against the smaller cities and the in
land cities, and the railroad problem
will never be settled until some fair
adjustment of rates is fixed.
Editor Harris is on the right side
of the question this time, and we are
glad to know that after waiting all
these years he has begun to use his
mighty pen on the right side of the
railroad situation.
Something has opened the eyes of
the "Nestor." He no longer sees
through the glasses of the railroad Of
ficials. He has reached the conclu-
sion that if the people-the common
people-get what belongs to them
they must look to men in sympathy
with them and not men affiliated
with the special interests.
Whenever the national law-making
bodies, the state legislature and the
railroad commissions are filled with
men who want to give the people and
the corporations alike fair deal,
then will the change come, and not
until then.-Pensacola Journal.

IN MEMORY OF THE LATE JONI
MILTON BRYAN
To the Editor ocala Banner:

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
In enumeration of the life and use
fullness of an old comrade and fellow
confederate soldier, / turn to pay
tribute to his memory.
The sad news of the death of Hon.
orable John Milton Bryan has cast
gloom over the state of Florida and
especially / as one who knew and
loved him well.
John Milton Bryan was a man
among men; he was a man of high
and honorable purpose, sterling worth
and character, noble impulse, great
determination, sunshiny in nature
and cheerful and lovable in dispo-
sition, a kind and sympathetic friend,
a courteous gentleman and as brave
as julius Caesar and as artless as a
child of nature.
/ knew John Milton Bryan well.
He was brave and courageous sold
Ter as ever fought in war. We fought
together under the same command
and under the same flag. We fought
together during the Indian war from
1856 to '5S in the state when Florida
was but a wilderness infested by
Indians. We were then members of
the United States Mounted Volun-
teers and endeavored, by main
strength and with many privations to
bear, to rid Florida of a wild and
treacherous foe.
Again it was, in '61, during that ter.
rible and trying civil war, we fought
together in defense of our homes, in
defense of our honor, and all that was
dear to our hearts, we fought as we
saw the right in that Lost Cause
John Milton Bryan and / were then
members of the same company, the
9Th Florida Battalion of Cavalary,
commanded then by Captain j. D.
Stark, and our regiment being then
under the command of Colonel Geo.
w. Scott of General Dickinson's di-
vision.
John Milton Bryan performed many
deeds of valor during that memorable
conflict, as well as during the Ind
ian war in Florida.
I mourn with those who knew and
loved him, and as his family mourn
bow in graceful submission to the
will of the Omnipotent One who wills
the coming and the departure of us
) all.
The old confederate soldiers are
fast thinning in their ranks and low
in the distance can be heard the
sound of taps" calling us one by one.
There is solace though, in the the
thought that the life of my old com
rade and fellow soldier, John Milton
Bryan, has closed as it was designed /;
that its duties had been we'll perform
ca; its pleasures enjoyed and its
hOnors won. His day had run its
course. There had been the dawn,
the morning bright with preparation
and hope, the noon-tide quick with
its struggles and it's activities, the
evening rich in contentment, and
when at last the undimmed sun sunk
in the west, the restful night had
come to him and he laid down to
sleep in peaceful and pleasant
dreams.
in the silence of the receeding
world he heard the great waves
breaking on the farther shore, and
felt upon his wasted brow the breath
of the eternal morning"

ANOTHER FLORIDA RAILWAY
NEARING COMPLETION

Rapid progress is being made in
the construction of the Florida Rail-
way, of which Fred Drew is president,
and of which Fernandina and Perry
are the terminals, with Jacksonville
as the principal city on the line. The
old road already is in operation be-
tween Live Oak and Perry, and little
time will pass before the grading
work is completed between Fernan-
dina and Live Oak, a distance of 104
miles. When the work of laying rails
is to be completed is difficult to esti-
mate at present.
Construction work is being done
under the direction of Capt. J. w.
Bushnell, the veteran civil engineer,
who has undoubtedly constructed a
larger number of railroads than any
man in Florida. In fact, history OF
Florida railroad operations for forty
years past would be incomplete with
out extensive mention of Capt. Bush
nelPs work. He could write most
interesting volume of "reminiscences
on this subject of work in the pio-
neer days on the states first roads.
Rapid Work for Year
Establishing Mr.. Drew's genius as
promoter of large enterprises, act
ual construction began about year
ago, and large forces are rushing the
work at different points without in
terruption. Ties are placed along the
route for many miles, and not many
months will elapse before the footing
whistles of Florida railway engines
will be heard in Jacksonville.
That the railway will prove a big
dividend-paying venture is guaran-
teed by the richness of the section
through which it passes. That Sec
ton between Jacksonville and Fer
nandina, which has the best port on
the south Atlantic coast, is noted for
its richness, while sea island cotton
of the finest quality is produced in
the neighborhood of Baldwin, also
fancy vegetables. The plantations
between the st. Mary's and st. Johns
rivers have long been noted for the
quality of sea island produced, and
millions of feet of fine timber is to
be found in the same locality. The
East Coast Lumber Company is at
present cutting large quantities.
White Springs, another important
town on the line, is rapidly becoming
one of the most noted health resorts
in the south, and the land in that
neighborhood is famed for it's fertil-
ity. From Live Oak to Perry old es-
tablished plantations produce cotton,
grain and watermelons and other sta
pies. The entire section has long
been in need of transportation facili-
ties, and Mr.. Drew's road will fill the
need.
When in operation the road will
have length of 156 miles, and its
track and rolling stock will be ~p-to-
date in every acknowledgment

of the civil engineers for this lew

FRESH AIR IN PNEUMONIA.
Why 1t Is of so Much Importance in
 Treatment of the Disease.

In talking of pneumonia to people in general it is necessary to say and re- peat many times that pneumonia is not bad cold run mad, for this conviction appears to be invincibly lodged in the lay mind, says the Youths Companion.
 Pneumonia is first, last and all the time an acute local disease of the lungs. which. according to the gravity of the case, become more or less consolidated or choked up. The more of the lung tissue that is thus choked the less the lungs are able to breathe. The first consequence of this helplessness on the part of the lungs is that the heart that gallant organ-labors to get enough blood to keep things going. and this is why we see the distressing rapid and shallow breathing so characteristic of the disease.
 With all the heart can do it can only pump blood. it cannot oxygenate it that is the function of the lungs. Pres ently. therefore. the blood stream be- comes more and more impure owing to lack of oxygen, and in those cases ending in death one of two things hap pens-either the heart gives out entire ly, unable to stand the strain upon it. or else the system is overcome by toxins. that is to say by the impurity induced by the lack of oxygenatiOn.
 It has long been recognized that what the pneumonia patient needs is oxygen, and we are now sure that this is best supplied by a direct current of fresh air from outside. and that this fresh air should be the basis of all treatment from the very beginning.
 Too often has life been lost by fail- ure to recognize this truth or by be- lief that rushing in canned oxygen at the last moment would effect cure There is less pneumonia among country dwellers than among city people. There is Tess pneumonia among people who ventilate we'll than among the stuffy And there is less pneumnia in the summer than in the winter. because in the summer there is a free circulation of air through all our houses. The ideal treatment Of pneumonia is to carry the patient into the open air and keep him there, with proper precautions against wind and weather. But as this can not always be done. the patient can at least be placed in the largest, sunniest and best ventilated room in the house. If possible a room with windows on two sides is much to be preferred to one which can be opened only to one point of the compass. By system of screening it can always be managed that a direct current of very cold air shall not blow right over the bed. but the air of the room should be con stantly renewed and always cool.
 Of all cranks the fresh air crank is the sanest. and his reward in the pneu monia sick room is a rich one.

RAIN FALLS AND

Nearly An Inch of Precipitation Here
 Sunday Night.

It rained again Sunday night and 1t wasn't a quiet little spring shower either. but d genuine downpour. In town nearly an inch of water fell. The precipitation south of town was less than it was here as shown by the report of the different observers r. II. Simmons at the date orchard reported d precipitation of .37 inches while J. H. Cummings, who keeps a record just across the river. reports .7 The rain fell almost constantly all night and there were al few show CTS during the day yesterday. Clouds hung low all day and at the hour of writing it was hard tO predict whe th- CT there would be more rain or not
 The river began raising Sunday evening. not as d result of local rains but from the rains that had been falling along the Verde several days last week. According to report, there were heavy rains in the neighborhood npf Prescott Friday and Saturday. By yesterday morning the river showed a raise of some five or six feet at this point and came up gradually all day. There is a chance that by today it will be still higher.
 Arrangements were being made last week for considerable work on the crossing but fortunately this did not get under good headway before Sun days storm. Had the work been completed the expense would have been d total loss. The chances are now that it will be some days before the river will be fordable again and this warm rain on the snow in the mountains should mean the addition of some feet to the reading at the reservoir.
