A NEW FRUIT

That Florida stands good chance
of adding another item to its truck
ing industry which may prove z
source of even fortunes in the future,
has come to light in a series of ex-
periments which have been conducted
with Italian cantaloupes this spring
and summer by Chief of Police W. d.
Vinzant.
He has successfully raised italian
cantaloupes, a fruit which will keep
after being gathered for period of
six weeks, and their flavor and size
are as good as the one which he
came into possession of during the
winter.
A steamer captain made the local
chief present of the cantaloupe. He
kept it on display at police headquar-
tiers for some time and finally decided
to carry it home. There he saved
the seeds in the melon, as well as en-
ioyed its delicious fruit.
When spring came, he distributed
the seeds to several friends and soon
after tat time he was the recipient
of numerous Italian cantaloupes
which have been grown in Florida
1he species is said to be sweeter, to
have more fruit in the rind, and to
be such an article that can be kept
in a dry place without loss Of favor
for a period of six weeks.
For this reason, it is believed that
Italian cantaloupes would prove q
source of great revenue on any large
scale, as damage in shipping would be
reduced to a minimum.
Italian cantaloupes are imported in
small quantities during certain sea
SOS of the year in the larger cities
of the United States. This is said to
be largely impractical. however, as
European consumers furnish the best
market for the product.-Times-
Union.

THE suMMERFIELD CHRONICLE

There lies before us the first issue
of the Summerfield Chronicle. 1t is
eight pages, and the pages are about
the size of those of an ordinary book.
1t is small, it is true, but it has time
and We hope ample opportunity to
grow. The mightiest giants of the
earth were but puny things at birth,
so We hope that the Chronicle may
grow to be giant in size. usefulness
and power Master Arthur w. Col
lens is the father of the ambitious
bantling, and he says that the Chron-
icle has come to cast its lot with the
new and old settlers about Summer
field, and whatever the outcome it
has come to stay. 1t proposes to tell
the truth and diffuse a good infiu-
ence. This paper wishes it a great
deal of success.

100000 CHICKENS!

1t is intended to give a public bar
becue in honor of President Taft
when he visits ST. Louis soon, in
which 100000 chickens will figure. If
chickens are as high there as here
this part of the bill of fare alone will
cost $4,000 Again will it be asked
as of old, why not sell the chickens
and give the money to the poor? And
again will the answer come: Because
we have the poor always with u.s.
Orlando Reporter-Star.
Why is it not better as it is? The
forty thousand dollars paid for the
chickens will go into the pockets of
the chicken growers, which will help
stimulate the prosecution of the in
dustry. Men, who need the money,
will have to be paid for killing the
chickens and preparing them for the
! frying pan, and then other men skill
| ed in the culinary art will have to be
paid for frying them to a turn Then

way into the channels of>trade. and is
not wasted. and in many instances
the deserving poor are benefited.
Tt is a mistake to assume that in
the extravaganza of the rich money
IS wasted Take, for instance, the
use of the automobile. The output for
the manufacture of these machines
for the past year is said to have been
one hundred and sixty-fve millions.
The up-keep was likewise an enor-
nous sum- but the greater part of
this money went into the hands of
the labOrer, and he was enabled
thereby to provide for the wants Of
his family in better style than here
tofore, and give his children better
educational facilities.
It is better for the ricn to spend
their money in the purchase of auro-
mobiles and the building and furnish
ing of fine houses than to give aims
to the poor, beause when one earns
a dollar he does not feel that he is
mendicant, and it gives him feeling
of independence that the bounty of
charity, however we'll intended, can
not give.
Let the rich spend their money in
luxurious living-it is immensely bet
ter for the world than to keep it bur-
led in the ground or locked up in the
vaults of banks.
The miser-not the spendthrift-is
the one that is a positive injury to
the poor.

THE MISERY OF WAR.

For hundreds of people growing
rich out of war hundreds of thOus-
ands are made poor and miserable.
In 1000 years over 1000 great battles
were fought, which have cost about
5000, 900, 900 human lives. England
spends $500 a minute for military
purposes. Half a billion homes were
devastated in the civil war Of this
country. The Hague peace confer.
ence may not exercise great infu-
ence, yet it can do only good in edu-
eating the conscience of the civilized
world agaist war. The fact is that
war is steadily declining. In the sew
enth century slaughter of men was
the only occupation of repute. To
drink wine from enemies skulls, to
kill captives, to ravish and slaughter
captured women, to burn old people
and children, was considered legiti-
mate warfare in the middle ages. In
the nineteenth century, in spite of i'm
provement of instruments of destruc-
ton, the loss of life by war in Europe
has not exceeded one out of every
ten thousand annually, while a thous-
and years ago one out of every hun
dred was a low estimate.-Rabbi
Emanuel Schneider, of Philadelphia.

The Jacksonville good roa DIS boos-
ters, Messrs. Conroy, Logan Miller,
Carter and Richardson, are taking
steps to secure the famous Glidden
tour for Florida. The Metropolis
says: The tour will be the first great
celebration of the opening of the new
national highway. The Glidden tour
is run under the auspices of the
American Automobile Association
Under the rules there must be at
least fifty entries, and owing to the
fact that there are hundreds of Geor-
gians and Floridians in the north who
will be coming south at that time of
the year, and they will swell the num-
Der of machines.
The rules have been changed in
such manner as to permit of the
ordinary tourist joining the party.
The trip under the rules which will
govern the tour will not be as string
ent as heretofore, and family parties
will be able to make the trip in per-
feet comfort.

The Georgia legislature is like ours
in that is is troubled by few freak
members, and they are introducing
freak bills, among which is one pro-
viding for woman's suffrage and an
other for removing the state capital
from Atlanta to Macon.-Tampa
Times. One of these freak bills
was before the New York legisla-
ture and failed of adoption in the SEN
ate by the narrow margin of one vote.
Many of the ablest statesmen in the
world favor woman suffrage and it is
reaching to such a degree of promi-
nence that it can not be laughed down.
Sooner or later it will win out and
this paper at least scouts the idea
that woman's influence in our polit-
ical life will be degrading.

Compared with Cover Dix of New
York, Governor Gilchrist of Florida,

emerged form the chalk class in the
vetoing of bills. On last Saturday
Governor Dix vetoed seventeen in a
bunch saving thereby. according to
the World, S24S,0 900 to the tax payers
of New York state. The New York
World no doubt is impressed with
the belief that the world is governed
too much and if it were less governed
it would be better off. We all admit
that it is growing better all the while
and yet crime-making laws continue
upon another until no man is able to
read them all if he is engaged in any
sort OF an occupation. And see the
array of law books it requires to ana
lie these laws and explain to the
lawyers, the courts and ordinary
minds what they are: and, then, too,
the decisions of the courts; how one
court turns down another and very
often reverse themselves. We are
governed too much and there is too
severe a tendency of governmental in
terefernce in ones private affairs.
We want to get back to the simple
life and draw a line of demarkation
between what is private and what is
public and render unto the private
citizen what is his and unto the pub
lie what only belongs to it.

TURNED US DOWN COLD

A large number OF the members OF
the board of trade of OcaIa as well
as a number who are not members OF
it, lately petitioned the Florida rail-
way commission that the railways
entering Ocala be required to build
a union depot.
Mayor Robertson recently got a re-
ply to the petition which we are per-
mitted to publish. 1t is appended
hereto:
Tallahassee, July %, 1911.
Hon. j. D. Robertson,
Ocala, Florida.
Dear Sir:
Your telegram of the 22nd inst
wishing to know decision of the COM
mission in the matter of union depot
at Ocala. has been received.
In reply wish to advise that in the
opinion of the commission a union de-
pot at this time for Ocala is unjust
TO the Atlantic Coast Line r. R. as
that road now has very substantial
brick passenger depot which we feel
we would not be Justified in confs-
eating by ordering a union depot at
some other point.
Yours very truly.
R. HUDSON BURR,
Chairman.
| The reasons actuating the board OF
/ trade and others who signed the pc
tition may be briefly enumerated as
/ follows:
The Atlantic Coast Line railway
has to enter the city up very heavy
grade. The grade is so steep that it
is a constant menace to life and prop
erty. Already there have been a
number of accidents That no one
was killed is miraculous. In more
| than one of the accidents several
were seriously injured. We say that
it is a constant menance to life and
property because history is constant
ly repeating itself and things that
happen once for like causes are liable
to happen again.
The Ocala Northern, which is build
ing out of Ocala to Palatka and Jack
sonyille, has no depot 1t must build
one soon.
The Southwestern, that has recent
ly entered the city, has no depot. 1t
likewise must build one soon.
| The Tampa and Jacksonville, which
is taking preliminary steps to enter
the city, of course has no depot and
will be required to have oqe as soon
as satisfactory arrangements are COM
pleted for it's entering the city.
The depot of the Seaboard is an
ordinary and somewhat ancient and
primitive structure 1t would be no
hardship on said road to be required
TO pay its proportionate share in the
erection of a modern union depot.
While it is true that the Atlantic
Coast Line railway has brick depot,
| it is exceedingly meager in size and
in its appointments and the company
can dispose of the site on which the
depot stands for, more than the lot
and building cost originally, basing
the value on adjacent property, so
where would be the injustice to this
road?
If it is an inopbortune time now to
build union depot because one of
the roads entering the city has an
Anticipated brick structure, will it not
be more inopportune when three more
roads build, perhaps more modern
brick structures?
Of course this means nothing to us
I personally, but it does seem to us
that it means much to the community
and if majority of its citizens think
that a union depot is the proper thing
they should lombard the commission
ers until something is dOce for the
commissioners are not the masters
but the servants OF the people.
