PUSHING ON TO PALATkA
OeaIa Northern Receiving New Material
and Engines, and Making Ready
to Complete Its Line

Mr.. F. p. RentZ. president of the
Ocala Northern Railroad Company. has
bought 3100 tons of 60-pound steel
rails. with butts, angle bars and spikes
for laying same from the Carnegie
Steel Works, and the first delivery of
the rails will be made in about ten
days.
With these rails the Ocala Northern
will push right through from the pres
ent terminus. beyond Fort Mccoy. to
PaIatka. The company has a great
many ties in readiness and a gang of
from so TO so men who have been cut
ting ties for some time are still en-
gagged a the work. The grade is COM
pleted to Palatka and deep water and
Mr.. Rentz says he viii have trains
running from Ocala to Palatka within
six months. unless delayed beyond his
present expectations.
The present distance TO Palatka via
the A. c l. Railway, is a miles The
Ocala Northern viii be between 10 and
so. a shortening of the haul of 24l2
miles.
The Ocala Northern has just receiv-
ed for its run two of the very latest
Baldwin locomotives. 12-wheel engines.
equipped with electric headlights and
all modern improvements. New coach
es and freight cars Will follow in a
! short time and by the time the first
| train is ready to go through to Pa
| latka the equipment of the road will
| be as good as any road in the state not
operating through passenger trains.
| Mr.. Rentz has in a quiet and unas-
suming way pushed the Ocala North
| ern right through and this paper has
| watched its career with a good deal of
| pride and interest. Soon after its or
| ganizatio and when a very little
| work had been done, the panic of 1907
came on and delayed the work but did
not discourage its founder and pro-
! moter and he has kept hammering
| away and it will now be matter of a
very few months till he will have one
of the most profitable pieces of rail
road mileage in the state.
| The road opens up a rich scope OF
| territory heretofore inaccessible and
cut off from the balance of the world
1t will connect a great river with Flor
| ida's best interior city, Ocala, and will
place the Brick City practically on a
par with Palatka in the matter OF
| freight rates and will give us the ad-
| vantage with the addition of a two
hours haul of so miles of practically
vile now has.
| The freight rate to Palatka is only
a fraction higher than the Jacksonville
rate from the north and west. The
rate from Jacksonville to Ocala is now
higher than from Richmond. Baltimore
or New York to Jacksonville. With al
Independent line and only a 50-milt
haul this paper can see good freigh
rate from the north and west via Pa.
latka and the Ocala Northern to Ocala
But the business men and shippers o.
the territory will have to avail them
selves of the opportunity that is a
our door.
The Ocala Northern will do a grea
work and become a potent factor il
developing the rich and heretofore al
most undeveloped country or portions
of Marion and Putnam counties thru
which it passes.

LAND TITLES IN DISPUTE
Jacksonville Metropolis, 22nd)

Jacksonville Metropolis. 22nd)
Motion was filed in the United States
court this morning for reinstatement
of the case of the New South Farm &
Home Company VS.. NJ. 3. Waldron,
which was recently dismissed by Judge
Locke. and permission is asked by the
complainant to file replication to the
answer of the defendant.
This case revolves about the owner
ship of several plots of ground in Mar
ion county, Florida, claimed by the
New South Farm & Home Company
but which was transferred to NJ B.
Waldron, of Marion county, after sew
era1 conveyances by other persons.
Waldron's claim to the land is based
on a sale by the clerk of the circuit
court of Marion county to satisfy un-
paid taxes for 1890 and 1891. The land
was sold to Charles c. Warwick, who
subsequently conveyed the land to
William Hooker. By other convey
ances, the land subsequently came into
the possession of the defendant to the
suit, NJ B. Waldron, who claims to
have been in actual possession of the
same for several years prior to the til-
ing of the suit.
In it's declaration, the New South
session of the lands in fee simple, and
states that it has contracted to sell the
lands to James N. Rogers, who has
actually moved upon the lands and is
in possession of them. Owing to the
cloud on the title, however, the COM
| pany has not been able to execute a
conveyance to Rogers.
| 1t is further alleged that Waldron
| has threatened the complainant with
criminal action to disposses it of the
| land and has already brought criminal
suit against Rogers. The New South
Farm & Home Company seeks an in
junction to restrain Waldron from in
| terfering with Rogers or any other
| person put upon the land by the COM
planant, on the ground that the con-
lveyance to Waldron was irregular.
| Waldron, in his answer, declares that
his title to the land was properly ac-
quired and that he had been in actua
possession of the same for seven years
prior to the filing of the suit. Denia
| is made of the statement that Rogers
has entered into physical possession OF
the land and proof of the claim is de-
manded.

Made by the Ocala Fertilizer Company
10 the Farmers and Truckers

Elsewhere in this issue of the Star
will be found a most liberal offer of
prizes by the Ocala Fertilizer Com
pany for the best exhibits of the diff
ferent staple crops and vegetab bles.
Aside from the desire. ever present in
the breast of any good farmer or truck
grower, to produce the best in his
particular line Of any grower in the
county, this offer should be an incent-
i've TO urge our tillers Of the soil 10
even greater efforts.
There is no reason why these same
exhibits in addition to winning the
prizes offered by the Oca1a Fertilizer
Company, also win the prizes offered
in the general Marion County Fair pre-
MUM list.
The efforts of such firms TO stimu-
late the growers of the county to bet
ter results should meet with the hearty
cooperation of every ti1ler of the soil
in the county. It all tends towards
better crops, more systematic handling
of them and more scientific cultivation
of the soil.
The Star believes that the value OF
the farm and garden products OF Mar
ion county will be more than doubled
within the next two years. Not only
have thousands of acres been added to
the cultivated acreage of the county
within the past year or so.' but the
growers are planting. cu1tivating and
marketing on better business principles
than formerly.
We hope that the competition for
the prizes offered by the OcaIa Fer
tilizer Company, a worthy home insti-
tuition of great value to the county
and possessing plenty of enterprise,
will be keen and that the exhibit made
will do full credit to our great county

GOOD WORK FOR FLORIDA

Mr.. L. S. Light of Reddick. writes
the following letter to the Banner:
Mr.. McQuarrie and Prof. Spencer of
the Florida Farmers Institute corps
met with the farmers of the Reddick
precinct Monday morning at 10 O'Clock
and gave us talk on things pertain
ing to good farming.
AN appropriation of $4,000 a year
has been made to carry on the farm
ers' institute work in this state. and
in the last nine months they have neld
151 public meetings, with an attend
ance that numbers many thousands
'They began talking on rotation of
crops and soil building, and with both
charter and pictures made a splendid
showing of how lands can be built up
and improved, and showed how lands
properly prepared and rightly worked
would yield more than double that of
the ordinary way of farming.
''They said that the timber and naval
stores business would soon be gone
and Florida must depend on her agri-
cultural resources for her livelihood.
and that general, diversified farming
was best. That vegetables three out
of five years paid, and the other two
years were losers and too risky.
THE comparison by pictures Of Flor
ida corn and Kansas corn shows that
Florida can grow corn. The avera ge
crop of corn in some counties of Flor
ida run as high as 40 bushels to the
acre, while IN Marion county, with the
best of land, the average is only / )
bushels to the acre. The difference in
yield, they claim, is preparation, culti-
vation and fertilization. That 1000
boys in Alachua county are going into
a corn contest.
Hogs rank as No. ; in value of gen
eral farming in this state, and the IL
Illustrations they gave of how hogs
should be taken care OF was simply
grand One acre in rape. seed costing
so cents or less, would take care OF
$500 pounds of hogs for three months
and that sorghum. corn, etc. can be
raised; so that farmers can have feed
for hogs twelve months in the year
Farmers, you don't know il all
There is much to be learned. These
men are willing TO aid you. Marion
county is losing lots by neglecting tC
secure these institute lectures Farm
ers. wake up. Call an institute meet
ing in your neighborhood. 10 will &c
you good.

1t Is very evident that the coming
legislature proposes to take up the
important matter of fees for county
officials and substitute salaries for
fees for said officials. This should
have had the attention of the legisla-
ture years ago, for what sense and
equity is there in paying five and ten
times the sum the services of their Of
fees are worth to the taxpayers. The
question will be placed on the number
OF Inhabitants in each county and the
business transacted in them. After
providing for fair salary, the surplus
fees taken in by these officials will be
turned into the county treasury. We
believe in this proposed legislation and
years ago advocated the same from the
stump in Marion county.

from the sad rites of the burial of his
son Edwin at Lake City, who died sud
denly week ago in Atlanta. Colonel
Rogers is overwhelmed at the kind,
sympathetic and generous treatment
of the people of Lake City, in the sor-

burial OF his son and thoughts of ap-
probation and thankfulness well up
In the stricken hearts of Col. Rogers
and his family for such a noble and
generous demonstration, but then we
are not to forget that Col. Rogers and
