20 HURT IN BOMB EXPLOSION
Three Chicago Buildings Partly Wrecked by Terrific Blast, but the
 Watchman Is Not Awakened.

Chicago, Sept. 11.-More than 20 persons were injured. three buildings were partly wrecked and windows within a radius of half a mile were shattered by the explosion of a bomb in the doorway of the private bank conducted by Alexander Conforti, 9l2 South Halstead street. The injured were cut by glass and thrown from their beds.
 Tony Digrazia, watchman in the bank, was revealed as Chicago's heav lest sleeper Although persons resid- ing a mile away were aroused, he was found asleep in a room in the rear.
 The explosion is believed by the DO lice to be the work of Italian black mailers. Conforti admitted that a year ago he received three letters de- manding $7,OOO, but said he ignored them.
 A safe in which there was several thousand dollars withstood the blast Gas mains entering the bank and buildings on either side were broken Bremen had to wear oxygen helmets in fighting a blaze that resulted.

GOV. HAYS WILL
 NOT INTERFERE
Omer Davis to be hanged today
 at Fayetteville for Murder

Little Rock, Sept. 11.-Late Wednesday afternoon Gov Hays wired s. w. Caudle, sheriff of Washington county, at Fayette- vile.
 Have decided not to inter- fere in Davis case"
 This means that Omer Davis. a young white man, will be hanged at Fayetteville to-day for the murder of his sweet heart, Nellie Honeymun, near Springdale, lastwinter.
 An effort was made to have the governor commute the sen tence to life Imprisonment, and Gov. Hays had granted one re- spite that he might thoroughly look into the case. About 500 had petitioned for communication while probably 800, led by W. E. Moneymun, father of the murdered girl, remonstrated. The remonstrants said:
 ''1n our judgment the evi- dence in the case showed Omer Davis to be guilty of wilful and deliberate murder in the killing of Nellie Moneymun, and we feel that his sentence should not be communted to life inn prisonment, but that the penal ty should be carried into ef- feet
 In discussing his reasons for declining to interfere, Gov Hays said: "I have received a num- Der of letters and telegrams from splendid people of w a h. ington county, recommending communication, also remonstra- ces against granting commit tation. In addition to peti- tions received from both sides, 1 have also had parties call me over the telephone and discuss the case with me. 1 requested a friend of the defendant to see if they could get the trial judge and prosecuting attorney to re- commend communication, and ln response to this request l was informed that the trial judge declined to recommend commit tation, and the prosecuting At torney was in a campaign and could not be found.
 Because of the pecullarlty set forth in the petition for communication, studied the case carefully, reading every word ot the record, including the evl- dence and the instructions ot the court, and of the case. While I feel deep sympathy for the young man and his rel atives, and the good people who have manifested an interest III his behalf, at the same time l feel that the law was wllfully violated, and for the protection of the people feel, as chief eX- ecutive, that the law should be enforcecd."

FLORIDA AS A CORN GROWING
STATE

4 loss of 300,000,0 900 bushels of
corn, the nations greatest farm crop,
has resulted from the great damage
wrought by drouth and other condi-
tions since July 1.-OcaIa Banner.
Florida's corn crop was the largest
in the history of the state. besides
the earliest, and was the second crop
on the same land in less than seven
months So Florida has not only es-
tablished to- the country that she
really is a corn state, but that her
acreage and crop increase each sue
.ceeding year. and that she has two
to four crop climate.
History does not relate a time
when Florida could not grow corn.
The American Indian planted it. and
it always has been an important fac
tor in the farming situation or not
only Florida, but of the whole coun-
try. But Florida has it on the other
states in that she is not compelled
to plant at a certain time, though
many prefer TO plant about the 10Th
day of April, in order TO make crop.
Usually corn follows the Irish potato
crop. which begins to move about the
LIST of April
Time was when Floridians We're
proud to say that they had raised
eighteen bushels of corn to the acre.
But that day is gone. Today you hear
the intensive farmer say that his crop
wilt run about sixty, seventy, and
sometimes ninety bushels to the acre.
Many of the farmers of other states
plant corn as their one crop. and Of
ten lose II through drouth, hot winds,
etc That crop gone. it is too late TO
plant the land to anything else IN
Florida, If corn should not turn ont
as good as expected, it is immateriaL
for one crop after another can follow
on the same land the same year
This is. something for our brethren
Of other states to think out-The
New Florida.

HYDRATE OF LIME

We printed an article on the above
subject few days ago. making CO.
pious extracts from the Baltimore
Manufacturers Record, which stated
that hydrated lime was now rnaRIfac-
tu"ed almost exclusively ie TIE north
ern states and that it's manufacture
was gradually increasing in the south
ern states, having increased in 1912
thirty-seven per cent. over 1911.
We stated that the manufacture
of quick lime was one of the principal
industries of our county, but so far
as we knew we had not yet gone into
the manufacture of hydrated lime
We found out that we were mis-
taken. We found out that our alert
business men are keeping abreast Of
the progress Of the times better than
we knew.
Mr.. J. VI. Meffert, one of cur most
successful and progressive business
men along any number of lines OF
business avocations,. has in operation
a number of lime works, and manu-
features both quick and hydrated
lime-the quick lime principally for
the home market, and the hydrated
lime for export
Mr. Meffert installed the machinery
for the manufacture Of hydrated lime
about a year ago.
Since the publication Of the item
about quick and hydrated lime. in an
interview Mr. Mefcrt says:
Hydrated lime is nothing more
than lump lime slaked with water.

The pineapple orange" predomi-
mates in the Kendig grove. but it isl

Mr.. Carlton anticipates yield this

three thousand of which will be grape

The grapefruit yield is unprece-
dented. A careful estimate Of the
yield Of one Of the trees places the
number of boxes at twenty-five. A
yield Of fifteen and twenty boxes will
not be unusual
Although hid away in the solitudes
the grove was discovered by the in
siduous and industrious white fly,
which has been for so many years
such pest to the orange grower, but
owing to a new solution used in
spraying, or for some other cause,
this worst enemy to the orange indus
try seems to have been completely
eradicated
We did not see a single white fly
in the entire grove, and no evidences
of his depredations,
One of the recent newcomers to
the state, who is already an ,enthu-
siast over its productions and posi- |
bilities, states in the Grower that Mr..
Bryan, secretary of state in President 7
Wilson's cabinet, who has winter
home in Miami, says that the climate /
of Florida as an asset is worth one
thousand dollars an acre, and if to its
climate is added such a soil as is
found bordering on the Ratliffe prai
RE, and with such a fruitful and mag
nificent orchard as. has materiaIized
there, one could well believe that the
genii of the Arabian Nights, with his
powers Of magic had been visitor
to it.
But without exaggeration we say in
all candor that the grove presents a
wonderful picture, and that our real
estate men could not do better thing
than to get busy and show it to pros
pective settlers as an advertisement
demonstrating the actual possibilities
of our soil along this line of profita-
Bile industry.
