SHERlFF'S HOME AND JAIL AT
SUMTERVlLLE BURN

A phone message was received in
this city yesterday stating =
sne4---. home and the Jail at Sum
terville caught fire about II o'clock
and despite all efforts to save them
both buildings burned to the ground
Fortunately the inmates of the 49,
were rescued and no lives were lost,
only, however, through the most he
roic and strenuous work.
The fire originated in the sheriff S
home, and was caused, it is supposed,
by a defective fiue, and the fire was
communicated to the Jail by high
winds blowing burning shingles onto
the roof of it. Both buildings were
constructed of fat pine, and finder
box could not have burned more
readily.
1t was not long since that Sumter
vile lost her court house, and the
sheriff's home and the county Jail lol-
low in quick succession. The fates
seem to be against it.

TO STIMULATE VELVET BEAN
CULTURE

z. C. Chanbliss of Ocala, one of the
leading bankers of the state and ow-
ner OF what is probably the finest
heard of high grade cattle in Florida,
is a firm Deliver in the agricultural
possibilities of the state. To stimu-
late the growth and demonstrate the
value of the velvet bean he has CT
fered some substantial prizes to the
farmers of Marion, Citrus and Sumter
counties for the best production of
the crop in 1911
OF the velvet bean he says: This
crop is more to the highlands of Flor
ida than is wheat to Dakota, alfalfa
to the west of even corn to Illinois.
1t not only sells today in Ocala at
$3.50 per bushel for the seed, but
pods ungathered, on account of the
great mass of vines which les
them, fatten beef which tops the mar
ket and rushes the growth of pigs.
Our fields averaged to yield of picked
beans more than twenty bushels per
acre the past season. But the great
est value of this crop is for fertilizer
and humus, which every farmer in
Florida is buying.
The United States department of
agriculture and the Alabama and
lorida experiment stations have
thought this bean of sufficient i'm
portance to issue special bulletins
covering its growth. The fertilizer
value per acre is given by the Florida
station as being equal to 1900 pounds
of cottonseed meal carrying 71a per
cent. ammonia which figured at mar
ket price of fertilizer gives Ire
enormous value of $3.50.
Now We have arrived at the point
to show it's unlimited cashable worth
to this section. The southern states
nave planted cotton so long that all
Of the humus in their soils has beer
destroyed Cotton farmers have reac
the bulletins referred to and many
hundreds of them have made small
paintings of velvet beans. They
realize this bean is the redeemer of
their robbed soils. Their demand
right now for seed is so insistent at
$3.50 per bushel that there is great
danger that enough seed will not be
kept il Florida for this years plant
ing. This demand for velvet beans is
making sales in car lots as far east
as Richmond, Va; north to Louisville,
Ky, and west TO New Orleans-even
Texas is a big buyer this year.
AS soon as all the south knows its
value the little belt where seed can
be grown (mainly in Florida) cannot
supply the demand. The cotton
states plant velvet beans for their
fertilizer and hImus value alone;
they cannot mature seed, and the dry
lands of Florida will always enjoy a
monopoly, as the beans require eight
months to mature, and wet, fiat lands
will not grow them They require
no fertn4zing FLORIDA Industrial

A VERY HIGH AND MUCH APPRE-
GATED COMPLIMENT

Mr. F. R. Mccormick, Editor Demo
crat, Live Oak, Fla:
My Dear Friend-Nothing has ever
pleased me more or hurt me less than
your recent utterance: Hon. Frank
Harris would make Florida a grand
good chief executive"
"Thems my sentiments" I admire
your judgment and thank you for your
kindly expression of confidence in my
townsman. You know Mr.. Harris
well. I know him better; have known
him for forty years as friend and
neighbor. and do not hesitate to de-
clare to you that he deserves the best
office within the gift of the people of
Florida.
His character as a man, his qualifi-
cations as an editor, his intellectual
ity, keen observation, cool head
warm heart, and bearing as a gentle.
man, are devoutly priced, not alone
by the citizens of Marion county, but
wherever he is known. Yes, he is in
truth the very impersonation of every
virtue that lends beauty and dignity
to human character.
No man, in fact, was ever brought
into intimate relations with him with
out realizing that his ideas of human
excellence had been given broader
range and higher development.
He loves his family to idolatry, and
this, too, characterizes the individual
as one of Gods noblemen.
Always loyal and faithful to
friends. If men differ with Uncle
Frank, by the force of his logic they
usually concede the correctness of his
position.
His services to Florida's democracy
has no parallel, and his influence, eff
forts and pen in behalf of Florida s
advancement has been without the
shading of exaggeration. You know,
and so do we, that he stands for that
which he conceives to be right.
The press of Florida are all friend
ly and inclined to our friend, and
maybe they'll instruct "the typo to
carry" Let's advocate the election
of Hon. Frank Harris for Florida s
next governor" S. H. BITCH.

OUR NEW JAIL

In company with Mr.. John P Gallo
way, sheriff, and Mr. S. t. Sistrunk,
clerk, we visited the new jail yester-
day, and gave it a careful and critical
examination.
The contractors and builders say
that it is the finest Jail in the south.
We believe it, We can at least say
this much: AS humane and sanitary
structure it would do credit to any
civilized, Christian country on earth.
1t has ample ventilation. There is
no need for crowding. The plumbing
is the most modern and the very
best. The negroes and whites are in
separate parts of the building, and
the males and females are in separate
apartments. In each cell there is a
lavatory and closet. Baths and show
er baths are provided for Inc
building is lighted by electricity and
the doors are bolted by an electrical
contrivance. In case a mob demands
the keys from the jailor for the pur-
pose of lynching one of the inmates
the keys may be turned over to them
and it will still he impossible for
them to force an entrance, because,
in addition to the ordinary locks the
cells are provided with electrical COM
bination locks. When a prisoner en-
ters one of the cells he is safe from
molestation, and escape on his part
is impossible.
There is provision made also for
insane and partly insane persons, one
of the cells being padded.
The building is fireproof through
out. 1t can be easily secured, and +he
drain pipes quickly carry everything
off. There are eight or ten large ven
tilators on top of the building, and
foul odors are impossible The pris-
oners can be fed humanely, and with
perfect safety to the jailor.
The building is heated with steam,
and can always be kept at comlor-
table temperature at all seasons Of
the year.
That portion Of the building set
apart for the jailor is finely finished.
and is as convenient and comfortable
as any dwelling in the city. 1t is pro
vided with every convenience, the
kitchen, pantry, etc, having every
thing ready to nand, and the sanitary
arrangements are perfect
Some distance from the main build
ing is a laundry, which is also CON
structed upon the latest models.
The grounds cover an entire acre,
and enough vegetables can be raised
to supply the jailor's family and all
the inmates.
1t looks as if in the construction IF
this building those who planned it be-
lieved that jails should be made, not
for the punishment, but for the &c
formation. of the criminal.
We congratulate our county upon
having such humane, model jail. 1t
viii stand as a statue to commemo-
rate the instincts of humanity OF
those who had charge of it's conStruc-
ton.

Mr.. ]. w. Hurst, who lives five CT
six miles from Ocala on the Anthony
hard road, was in Ocala Friday with a
quantity of the Burbank wonderber-
ry." This is the name given to the
berry by the CanIornia agricultural
wizard He was told that the berry
would not grow in Florida, and would
not mature berries if it did grow, but
from two rows one hundred feet long
Mr. Hurst has gathered fifteen quarts
a week for the past five weeks. The
berries are not delicious to the taste
but make most excellent pies, jams
and jellies.

Mild Climate.

Her climate Is second to none; with long growing
season and sunshine and without the extremes OF
heat or cold the comfort of living and the oppor-
tunity of work on the farm in some form every
day in the year appeals to both the man and the
dollar. The short and mild winters not dreaded
but appreciated. The summers are cooled by the
ocean breezes on the east and the bracine atmos-
phere of the highlands of the western half Of the
State, making it climate that is unexcelled by
any other commonwealth.
