NEGRO IS SAID
TO Be INSANE
SYLVESTER CAMPBELL, REGARD.
ED-As ONE OF BEST NEGROES
IN THE COMMUNITY, Is HELD.
AT POLICE STATION.

With his mind apparently entirely
unbalanced, sylvester Campbell one
of the best known and well thought
OF negroes in this section, was taken
to the police station last night about
$3.50 o'clock, where he Is now held for
safe keeping and awaiting an exami-
nation by q lunacy commission.
Campbell has lived for years on the
government reservation at Warning
ton and has always enjoyed the con
hdence of the white people. He is
said to be worth a considerable amount
of money and has nice business at
Warrington. He has always been re-
garded as one Of the most intelligent
and peaceful negroes in this part of
the country and up to the present
time there has never been complaint
against him.
One Of the strongest evidences Of
his insanity is that, although he Is
generally unusually quiet, last night
he was very boisterous and loud
When he was taken into custody
last night, he was laboring under the
hallucination that he was the post
master here, and said the reason he
was being locked up was that he had
been appointed postmaster at Pensa-
cola, and threatening to have the
!. whole government to come here and
sshow these people haw to treat an
American citizen.
Campbell Immediately recognized

present when he arrived at the station.

i RYE IN COUNTY
FIELD AGENT or COMMERCIAL
ASSOCIATION VISITS DExLAND
AND FINDS AN ACRE OF RYE,
NONE OF WHICH Is LESS THAN
FEET 4 INCHES IN HEIGHT
AND WELL FRUITED.

L. w. Hardy. field agent for the
Pensacola Commercial Association,
who has charge of gathering the
county exhibit for the Pensacola In
terstate Fair this fall, and who is al
ways quick to note anything of a pros
porous nature in the way Of agricul-
ture, was in the city yesterday after
neon and told representative of The
Journal about an unusually fine acre
OF rye on the place Of Charles A.
Detxer. at Dexland.
Mr.. Hardy went thoroughly through
this rye patch and says he measured
the stalks in fully twenty different
parts of the field and that he found
none OF the stalks less .han seven feet,
four inches in height. In fact, Mr..
Hardy, who is over six feet tall, says
that he did not find a single place
where he could see above the rye.
Mr. Dexter planted this acre as an
experiment. this being the first year
that he has tried to grow rye in this
county. He has proven beyond a
doubt that II can be grown success
fully and will probably cultivate it
more extensively next year, as this Is
n very profitable crop, the biggest
trouble being to find soil and climate
adapted to its cultivation.
The rye is almost ripe and ready to
gather at present, and. according to
Mr.. Hardy, will produce a splendid
yield.

selling of Reading which lost its early
rise, United States Steel, Lehigh Valley
