Would Make West Virginia
One of the Greatest
Factory States.


/ WASHINGTON. July S.AiWesti vir-
sinia produces sixty million tons OF
goal. Little Is. utilized within the
state and prices are consequently low.
y The production Of coal in West
Virginia in 1a11, according to E. W.
Parker, I'M statement Issued by the
United States Geological Survey, was
52,sS16s0 short tons. valued at $751;
js7Gaf5.
West Virginia, for the last three
years the second in rank among the
coal-producdng states. stands almost
alone in one particular-the low aver
age price at which Its coal. some OF ii
the highest grade bituminous coal
produced IN the United states,
brings to the producer. The only
state that compares with West virgin
la in this particular is virginia,
whose coal areas in the souhwestern
part of. the state are contiguous to
those of southern West Virginia, the
conditions Affecting the production
and marketing Of the product Of both
states being similar. Neither state
has any well-developed local markets,
and at least so per cent of the out
put is shipped to distant points for
consumption. The. highest Average
price for West Virginia coal recorded
On the last eight years was IN the
Doom year, 1907, when It reached 90
eents short ton. In 1al1~ the aver
ige price for West Virginia coal was
80 cents. -

The British vessel, Consols, cotton
laden from Galveston to Hamburg,
flame swept, sank on Sunday, forty
miles south of Cape Henry. Her
crew of forty-four men, refugees on
the British vessel, Castle Eden, were
landed at Newport News, Va. 1t was
another triumph for inter-communica-
ton among ocean craft, for the Castle
Eden, headed fro Savannah for Dan
ish ports, picked up the wireless call
for help from the imperilled crew on
the Consols and rushed to their assist
ance. The battleship New Jersey, on
her way north from the Guantanamo
drill grounds, also heard the call, and
sent the first word to shore of the res
cue of the men by the Castle Eden.

THE COMMENTED LIFE

All day in peace herd my geese, l
do not sigh for higher station; l do
not yearn renoWn to earn, to hear
the plaudits of the nation watch the
throng that moves along and see the
fruits of fierce endeavor-the faces
lined by beastly grind that comes at a
conclusion never On faded feet men
pace the street, the victims of the
Grind's abuses; said eyes are theirs,
and manay cares; and I'm content to
herd my gooses. The modern life of
stress and strife, this daily round of
eager questing, the chase for chink
makes mortals think the minutes lost
that's spent in resting. All want to
shine in some fierce line, to Caesars
be, or Alexanders; and so they strain
both soul and brain while | serenely
herd my ganders. Their nerves un-
strung they all die young, exhausted
by their fretful journeys, and ere the
bell has tolled their knell their wads
are swiped by the attorneys. Beneath
the heath they sleep and Death was
first to teach them what true peace is.
Those left alive toll on and strive,
while / continue herding geeses.

ALBERT WILLIAMSON

Albert M. Williamson, editor of the
Floridian, has determined to make the
race for congressman at large, and his
formal announcement appears in this
weeks Record
From our earliest recollections in
Florida we have known Albert Will
hanson, and known him as we know
him today-for his bigness of man
hood, brain and heart. Albert Will
Hanson not only stands close to the
people, but is one of the people. He
may have his faults, but his virtues so
far outweigh them that they are min
imized. Read his announcement, and
take it from the editor that you will
make no mistake if you cast your vote
for him.-Manatee Record.

DOUBLE SUICIDE IN NEW YORK
Frederick Noble and His Stolen Wife
Asphyxiated in New York
Apartments

A special from New York to the
Tampa Tribune, under date of Feb.
4, says that a double suicide Sunday
ended the sensational romance of the
former wife of Walter L. Suydam and
Frederick Noble, the young plumber,
for the love of whom Mrs. Suydam
ran away from her millionaire hus-
band and married. The bodies of No
BILE and his wife of a month were
found in their New York apartments
The couple had been asphyxiated by
gas.
The suicide pact, the discovery of
its results by Mrs. John J. White of
Washington, the mother of Mrs. No
BILE, and other features of the case
were sensational
Mrs. White, who has an apartment
on Lexington, avenue, had her daugh-
ter as a visitor the night before and
supposed the daughter would remain
over night. When, however, Mrs.
White awoke Sunday morning she
found that her daughter had fed the
house, and hurried Immediately to
the latter's apartment on West
Twelfth street. She became alarmed
when there was no answer to her re-
| peated knocks, and summoned two
| policemen, who forced an entrance.
The party found Noble and his wife
lying dead on the floor, their heads
almost inside the oven of gas range.
They were partly undressed and clasp
ed in each others arms. A great vol
| ume of gas was escaping from five
| burners of the range, and the oven
| jets were also turned on.
The woman was clad in a silk kimo-
ma, and she lay with Mobiles left arm
encircling her body, their faces being
close together. Every window in the
apartment was closed and bolted.
A few minutes after the discovery
MIS-. NOuIS IOELuSE uuSUduu, w d1ISI
Lispenard Suydam, millionaire, was
summoned by telephone, and arrived
quickly in an automobile.
When asked what he thought might
have. been the motive of the suicide
pact, Suydam said: Il can't tell you
anything. She isn't mine now, and
am only here as friend. to see what
can do"
The bodies were removed to an I'M
dertaking establishment, to be prepar-
ed for burial.
In the absence of explanatory notes
the motive for the suicides will prob
ably never be known.

THE DAMAGE IN CALIFORNIA
An Estimate BY Sections BY Man
Who Sized 1t Up

New York, February 5.
Below we present an estimate OF
damage done to the citrus crop in the
various sections of the southern Cali
fornia orange belt by the freeze OF
December 25th. These estimates
which are, of course, to be taken on
their face value. are the results of the
personal observations of a man who
was on the spot at the time the freeze
occurred, and who made a thorough
survey of the situation in each of the
places mentioned at a time when the
best idea of the real damage done
could be obtained. His estimate fol-
lows:
East Highlands crop is hurt 20 to 80
per cent; Highlands, 20 to 40 per
cent; Riverside, 60 to 20 per cent. !;
Highgrove, 60 to 20 per cent; Rialto,

per cent; Pomona, 80 to 95 per cent. !;
Uplanad, 10 TO 90 per cent; Fullerton,
10 to 20 per cent; Orange, 20 to so
per cent; Santa Ana, 10 to 20 per
cent; Corona, so to 20 per cent; Red

GROWERS AT OcALA.
Getting Busy for Coming crops-Some
of the Large Acreages

Ocala, Fla, February 5.
This section of Florida is getting
busy for the coming crops About the
only thing being marketed just now
is cabbage. The crop is turning out
a good yield, and the shippers are
getting satisfactory prices.
w. d. earn, the seed man, reports
more calls for Bermuda onions than
usual this season. The whites are
preferred, but when the growers could
not get them they took the red varie-
ty. The young crop is looking well.
The watermelon acreage will be
the largest this season that it has
ever been.
Following are some of the largest
growers and shippers from this point:
E. B. Duncan, rs acres in cabbage,
beans and melons; T. II. Johnson.
100 acres in melons; Mcdowell Crate
Co., $50 acres in melons and canta-
loupes; j. M. Meffert, $50 acres in
melons, cabbage and cantaloupes; z.
G. Chambless, 100 acres in melons.
cantaloupes and cabbage; C. B. How
ell, $50 acres in melons and canta-
loupes; Anthony Truck Farms, mel
ons, beans and cantaloupes; w. NJ.
Lucius, 40 acres in melons: Oak
Hurst Lime Co, rs acres in melons
and cantaloupes Besides these.
there are numerous small growers,
the total being over 1000 acres.
The cantaloupe acreage is about
one-half as large as the acreage in
watermleons. There is a considerable
acreage in Irish potatoes, beans and
tomatoes. The onion acreage is three
times as large as ever before.
There is also quite an acreage in
beets and okra.
Not many groves OF oranges and
grapefruit are to be found in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Ocala, but these
are grown well on nearly every farm.
There is probably not a better aver
age section in the state for all kinds
of fruit and vegetable culture than
the country surrounding this place.
All crops grow well here.-Ocala Cor.

| official of this mission that the mat
| ter will be taken up at this meeting,

| will lend us their moral and financial
support, We will show some real re-
suits in the cleaning up of some of
the places that can never be anything
but a disgrace to a community"
1t is stated that this board of man
| ayers" will be in session several days,
| and that some prominent speakers
will be present, and it is hoped that
men far and wide who believe in bet
ter things will be present at this
| meeting to lend their support.
The exact date of the meeting will
be given out later.
A board of managers" for the
states of Georgia, Alabama, South
Carolina and Tennessee are also in
process of appointment for the pur-
| pose of taking action, sin Florida.

RECESSION OF FLORIDA

-
One hundred and twenty-nine years
ago-January goth, 1783-in the
course of arranging the preliminaries
of the Peace of Paris, which was to
acknowledge the independence of the
United States of America, Great Brit
ain threw a parting brick at the Amer
leans by receding Florida to Spain.
Romantic beyond that of any 9TH
er state in the Union is the story OF
the Land of Flowers" Away back
in the first decade of the 18th GEN.
fury, Ponce de Leon heard of magic
fountain in this fairylanad, in which
one might battle and be young again.
Equipping an expedition he sailed in
search of the fountain of perpetual
youth, and on Easter Sunday, 1872,
discovered Florida, so called from the
fact that at the time of it's discovery
it was gay with its great wealth of
flowers. He sailed along the coast,
landing here and there to look for the
wonderful fountain, but he did not
find it, and returned home a feeble,
disappointed old man.
The beautiful peninsular has chang
ed its ownership as often as the
chameleon changes its color. By
right of Ponce de Icons discovery, it
went, of course, to Spain, and Spanish
it remained for $50 years. ST. Angus
tine, the oldest town, not only, in the
United States, but on the North Amer
lean continent, was founded in 1864.
From that date onward the Hidalgoes
held the land by most uncertain
grip. The English admirals were aft
er it, and later on the colonists of
Georgia and South Carolina made sew
eral attempts to take it. Finally
Florida was ceded to Great Britain in
return for Havana, which had been
captured by that country the previous
year.
After holding it for 20 years Great
Britain receded it to Spain, not be-
cause she loved Spain, but because
she hated the Americans, and de-
sired TO keep them out of the prov
ince as long as possible. The Ameri-
cans, however, got the better end of
the bargain even then. There were
$4,000 people of English blood living
in Florida at the time, and immediate
ly after the recession to Spain these
all linked" over into the adjoining
states.
AS for Florida itself, it was sure as
fate that il was sooner or later to be-
come a part of the United States.
Joining our republic, and by it's STRAIT
egic position commanding the Gulf
of Mexico and the Caribbean, it would
not do to let it remain permanently in
foreign hands,, and from the start
il was the decree of manifest destiny
that it must eventually come under
the jurisdiction of "Old Glory''-a de-
cree that received its logical fulfill
ment in the treaty of 1919, by which
the fair region discovered 400 years
ago by Ponce de Leon was ceded to
the United States of America.
