ii realized nor grasped until
one has come farthest South
and seen the outcOI1C Of the Florida
farme's s. efforts at cultivatt1g every
thing man ever ate CT wanted TO eat.
The Southern part Of these Uni
ted States are largely known be-
cause of the possibility Of amusing
in the Winter, people who have had
more than q surfcit Of amusement
during the summer. We read more
of the dresses of Palm Beach than
we do Of the potatoes Of any other
part Of the State. And the tomatoes
of Florida are not as Importantly
clronicled in the New York papers
as are the politicians who come
South to eat those same tomatoes in
January Of each year.
The Florida farmer is composite
of every farmer of any place. He
has a chance to show what he can
do with every brand Of fertilizer on
the market. He can dry farm or he
can go to the trouble Of irrigating
and the Lord seems to prosper him
in each.
The products which are now be-
ing SHIPPED from all the points along
all the Florida coast means that the
farmer has had most successful
season; lettuce, radishes, and all
the other 'spring green's so dear to
the palate Of every normal man and
woman.
The Florida farmer seems to have
profited by the mistakes which the
Southern born farmer has made,
and he eschews the middle man as
much as possible. In consequence
one sees more Of the fresh vegeta-
bles shipped to the hote-s and to the
individual store keeper.
1t is a queer thing that these
Northern, Eastern and Western
people should have been able to
come to the South and make a sue
cess of what has been lying so close
to the Southern farmer, and who
has taken no thought of benefitting
by the same. In the South, when a
farmer is not welded to cotton, he
hasn't much Of a show as planter;
he seems to scorn the truck farming
which the others find so profitable.
There are lots Of lessons to be
learned from those who have come
South and made a success of what
looks to the Georgia farmer like a
lost cause.
Col. Sellers never had a scheme
with more millions in it than the
truck farmer who will so farm as
to get his vegetables on the market
when the Northern farmer is out of
the running because Of the climatic
conditions.
This isn't real estate ad, nor is
it a pretense at giving statistics, it
is simply written after seeing
crates, baskets and barrels of all
sorts of fresh vegetables less than
forty eight hours after leaving icey
winds and grippe weather.

OF Their Deliberations-What
They Did Yesterday.

Washington. September 17.-Demo-
cratic members of the tariff conference
committee. now engaged in adjusting
oiHerences between the two houses on
the tariff bill, to-day decided not To
make public any further agreements

mands upon the conferees for the re-
opening of certain schedules, and they
nave determined hereafter to maintain
silence,
Chairman Simmons, of the Senate
conlerees, tonight said the work was
progressing more rapidly than he had
expected, and he thought report
might be completed by the end of this
week.
The conferees to-day finished the free
list and began on remaining items in
the dutiable schedules. When they adj
Journed they had gone over the bill for
the second time, as far as the second
schedule, that covering metal and metal
products.

wheat and flour provisions of the Hill
rouse members objecting to the SEN
ate amendment imposing a duty of IN
cents bushel on. wheat coming from,
a country that levics duty against
wheat from the United States This
question was not settled. The COW
1erees agreed to leave pig iron on the
free list, where the Senate put it. but
ala not determine whether fcrro man
sanese ore also should be free COM
promise was effected on the automo-
bile schedule by which the low rates
nNed by the Senate were increased
slightly. and an agreement was reached
on the glove schedule, reducing some

General Reorganization VIII Take Place
and Mhny New Jobs Created.
Washington. September 1.-THE in
ternal revenue service proba bly, will be
reorganized as soon as the new tariff
bill is enacted preparatory to admin
istering the income tax provisions of
the law. designations OF several coll
lectors OF internal revenue who have
been holding over from the Republican
administration are expected to be ac-
copied AS one of the first steps.
Secretary McAdoo has been slow in
making n sweeping reorganization OF
this service. because he has considered
only men of high ability and construc-
tive experience. With the law on the
statute books. however, 1t is said. lie
will quickly readjust the organization.
He now is considering the appointment
of a commission of experts to assist
Commissioner of Internal Revenue Os-
born in the task of organization.
The secretary is favorable to the bill
pending in Congress for the increase
OF the salaries of the collectors in cer-
tain large districts from $1,000 to $4,000.
II is estimated that the office and field
force of the commissioner will be in
creased by 500 employees.

Empress Eugene. Prince Napoleon and
Prince JOACHIM Murat have all turned
a deaf ear to appeals about the mat
ter.
The result Is that Longwood House
Is In state OF utter rack and ruin.
The windows have Disappeared the
doors have simply rotted from their
very hinges. the ceiling is falling from
the rafters. the whole place is swarm
ing with rats and bats Not n stick
of furniture remains in any of the

peror breathed his last. All that 1t
contains. however. is a small altar ano
bust of Napoleon.
Tho contrast between the dilapida-
ton and neglect of Longwood. where
the Emperor lived for so many years
of drcary exile and where he died, on
the one hand. and the religious care
with which the villa and estate where
ho spent few months of Punishment
OH the Island of Elba, is very great.
But thcn the preservation of every
thing relating to the great Emperor
on the Island of Elba is due to mere
admirers Of his career and not to pco-
pie who pride themselves on being
members of his family, and who derive
whatever rank, Importance and wealth
they may possess from this kins-
manship.
Emperor William never dreamt.
when in a recent speech on music. he
casually included tho name of Handel
among German composers. that he would
~ ..-f.
in England, that, too, at moment
when such strenuous efforts are being
made on both sides of the North Sea
to bring about more friendly relations
between the two countries.
The English papers with one accord
angrily claim Handel as a Briton.
They grudgingly admit that he was
born in Germany. But they point out
that he came to England in ITO when
he was twenty-five. and that he made
his home there for the remaining half
century of his existence, securing nat
uralization as 4 subject OF the English
crown, being in receipt or liberal an
nuities, first from Queen Anne, and az
forwards from George l. and George
H., and being entombed at his death
in the Walhalla of Great Britain's
most famous sons, namely, Westmin-
ster Abbey
The English point out that nearly
all his opcrag and every one Of the
great series of oratorios with which
his name will forever be connected.
! indeed, all his finest compositions, wero
produced In England: that after his
twenty fifth year. his visits to Ger
many were few and far between, and
that he regarded himself in every sense
of tho word as an Eiglishman.
This does not prevent, however, the
fact that he was not only born in Ger
many. but also received his entire edu-
cation and his musical instruction
there; and that he also composed and
produced on the German stage several
operas, before trnversing the North
Sea in order to seek his fortune in
London.
