Neglected Industry

An annual drain of nearly two
and quarter millions of dollars is
a serious fact. Yet the district
for which Jacksonville is the dis
point loses that much in
one line of agricultural activity,
directly or Indirectly, in years
time. Think how Florida would
grow if that much more money
could be kept in circulation with
in her borders. Florida's people
send out to other states about one
and one-ffth millions of dollars
directly every year for an article

ping so much, and it was the work
of but few minutes to get the
second one in.
The boat was then headed for
the Punta Gorda fish dock
where the monsters were landed.
The larger one weighed $50 and
the other $50. About a hundred
pounds of meat were taken out of
the big one and everybody will
have turtle soup tomorrow. The
small one has not yet been killed.
This is the first instance of tur-
ties being taken in the open water
in the manner described. Report
of catch of last Friday made to
Tampa Times by Wallace Chad
man of this city.

Big Turtles Caught

this time the turtle was aware of
what was happening to him, and
he bit and snapped viciously., He
grabbed the iron gas pipe and tore
it away from its place, and pro-
ceeded to destroy everything with
in reach. 1t was found necessary
to kill him, and this was done by
cutting his throat. His body was
SO placed as to be opposite the
other when landed, and the young
men turned their attention to the
second. The weight of the cap
tured one kept the boat from tip

FLORIDA IN SUMMER
The Season is Long but Not Severe
STATE Famed by Breezes

Wise people seeking for real
homes and who have never been
far South in the summer time,
should come to our part during
the summer. The false idea that
our people have extreme hot
weather has long been known to
be q fallacy. Our summers are
long but never severe.
Our country, away down on the
Southern peninsula, is surrounded
by huge bodies of water Gulf of
Mexico and Atlantic Ocean-from
northeast around south and far to
northwest, guaranteeing constant
mild breezes all through the sum-
mer. Generally at night the wind
changes, but nights never fail to
be as cool as we could wish. A
blanket is always kept within
reach.
Our rainy season commences in
June. Of late years, in Nav.
Nearly every day we have showers
but rarely what Northern people
call a rain. Scarcely day may
not be spent out of doors, and be-
cause of showers, freedom from
dust.
The other fallacy that mosqui-
toes and insects make life miser-
able is also untrue. There are
sections where they abound in
plenty, but these places are where
dead water stands and general un-
cleanness is allowed to prevail.
With us water never stands. Even
after hours Of heavy rain, in a few
minutes the water soaks in the
soil and is stored away, and this is
a reason why our groves never
suffer from drouth as they do in
the sandy section. The amount
of yearly rainfall is betH cen so and
so inches. Come to Florida In the
summer time. Do not let false
ideas of extreme heat or insects
prevent. Come and learn. If
our statements are not far within
the truth, then is the time to see
for yourself. Come and see what
a delightful country we have.-

Gainesville Sun:-The men and
women wise enough to spend time
and work among the flowers in
the garden are learning the secret
of how to dispense with the doc
tor. A garden full of flowers and
vegetables is treasure chest and
medicine chest combined in one.
Gardening by proxy has not much
satisfaction about it. One has to
oct in direct and closest compan-
ionship with a flower to know its
beauty and charm, and there is a
moral value in flowers that few
realize. Anyone who devotes
himself or herself to the culture
of pansies, violets, roses and the
other flowers that delight with
their fragrance and beauty is the
better for it.

GENERAL CONFERENCE
Seventh Day Adyenfisfs Meet in
Washington this Month

Seventh-day Adventists in vari-
Gus parts of Florida are looking
forward with much interest to the
quadrennial meeting of the Gener-
al Conference of that denomlna-
ton, to be held in Washing
ton, d. G., ending ON June 8,
and which will bring together be-
lievers in that faith from all parts
of the world. Twelve members
will represent the Southeastern
Union Conference, which takes in
the states of North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and
the eastern portion of Tennessee.
The Florida Conference will be
reprented by President w. IL.
Hickman and N. G. Strachan.
Delegates will represent every
one of the twenty-five Conferences
in the United States, Canada, Eu-
rope, Australia and Africa, and
the mission stations in Africa and
Asia. While the delegates will
number between 300 and 500, the
number of persons to attend will
swell to about 1000.
Every state in the Union will
be represented, in fact, every
country on the globe. All of the
leading ministers in the United
States and Canada will be among
those in Attendance. Black-skin-
ned and yellow-skinned men and
women, who have been reclaimed
to Christ from heathenism, some
of them having been among man
eating tribes, are expected to lend
Importance to the power OF tne
gospel by their presence. In fact,
the gathering will be made up of
a commingling of races, such as
probably has never been seen in
the past in u meeting of this sort.
Over 500 tents will be pitched
for the housing of the people dur
ing their stay at the session, and
large canvas pavilions will be
pitched for the holding of the
1t is expected that at
least thirty meetings day will be
held.

MINUTES
Business Transacted at Regular
Monthly Meeting of Town
Governing Body

The City Council met in the
Board OF. Trade rooms Tuesday
night, May Is. Present, Geo. S.
Stone, President; Councilmen f.
b. Pitt and N. Z. Hewitt, Mayor
Morton and Marshall Lipscomb.
Meeting was called to order by
the President and minutes of the
last meeting read and approved.
In response to requests mailed
to- property owners on Marian
avenue, between Cross and Berry
streets, to meet with the Council
and discuss the proposition of
putting down sidewalks, only
three or four out of a total of
thirty-fve interested parties were
present, and after some discussion
any action in the premises was
deferred until the next meeting.
Mr.. j. M. Weeks, representing
the Board of Trade, suggested the
advisability of placing sign boards
bearing the names of different
streets intersecting Merriam avenue,
and also numbering houses within
the city limits. Inasmuch as two
of the FIVE councilmen were abb
sent, this matter was also held
over until the next meeting for
consideration.
The Clerk was instructed to
notify Messre. Welles & Heard to
have cleared away within thirty
days the boilers, machinery, etc.,
now obstructing Olympia avenve
and Berry street, it being the in
tention of the Council to open up
these streets.
On motion of N. 9. Hewitt,
seconded by F. B. Pitt, the City
Tax Collector was instructed to
cancel on the tax books the de-
linquent taxes due the city on lots

OF necessity which could be pro-
duced more cheaply in this state
than in those to which the money
is sent.
If Florida had more than two
million dollars added each year to
her circulating medium dynamic
money there would be more
money invested In manufacturing
enterprises, more building, more
real estate transfers, more EN-
ptoyment, every department of
active life would feel the impulse
of that much more of the life
blood of business.
In one month recently there
were more than thirty carloads of
butter brought into Jacksonville.
At ten tons to the car this would
be at least 300 tons or 600, 900
pounds of butter. AS some may
object that this must have been an
exceptional month, we will as
sumo an average of twenty cars q
month, 100000 pounds of butter.
Putting the price at 25 cents q
pound, this would make an aver
age of 100000 month sent to
Northern states for an article that
we could manufacture more cheap
ly than they can. This would be-
81, 100000 year, Is per cent Of
$24, 100000, an amount which
would practically be added to the
capital of the state.
There are other losses growing
out of the failure of Floridians to
raise enough mick cows to sup
ply the people of their own state
with butter. The value of the
manure that might be applied to
4
the land may be put at half a mil
lion dollars. The farmer raising
forage for his cows would be like
ly to have u surplus to sell, and
this would be at least half mill
lion dollars more. Here is
grand total of say, 100000.
That thirty carloads which came
into Jacksonville from the North,
that month, was for the supply Of
the district of which Jacksonville
is the distributing point. jack
sonville, however is not the only
distributing point for groceries in
the state. Therefore, the esti-
mate of 1900, 900 a year spent by
Florldians for butter must be far
beneath the actual figures.
Denmark, with but a little
more than one-fourth the area of
Florida, and soil originally con-
siderably less fertile than that of
this state, under the climate of
Northern Europe, makes enough
butter to feel her population of
nearly three million souls and to
export millions of pounds to other
countries. The farmers have
brought up the fertility of the
soil, until it is now among the
richest of Europe, by the free use
of COW manure.
Leon county, in which Tallahas-
see is situated, makes enough but
ter for the use of her own citizens
and has large surplus to send
out to nearby parts of Florida.
Almost every county in the state
should be able to do the same.
With a great variety of forage
plants which grow here luxuriant-
ly and no winter protection need
ed, Florida should be able to pro-
duce butter more cheaplY than any
state that has not those advantages,
and that means almost all the 9TH
ers-certainly the states from
which Florida receives her butter.

There are turtles anu turCieS anu
then some. We are told that
there was time when the song OF
the turtle was heard in the land.
And most everyone has heard OF
that impossible thing-an auto
turning turtle. l remember once
in Penn's Valley, Pa, of catching
a swapping turtle out on dry land,
and upon turning him over on his
back | found carved on his breast
bone 81. HI. 1900" The initials
stood for John Harter my great
great grandfather. and the date
gave us all some idea of that tur-
tles's age. He was then probably
200 years old, but he could snap
and crush stick with the vivacity
of u turtle in his teens.
But the kind of turtles l want
to tell about are loggerheads, two
of which were brought into Lewis
fish house the other day. Their
capture by three of our prominent
young men was an adventure
which no one of them will soon
forget. These young men were
b. H. Mobley, James Cooper and
Leck Lewis. They had planned
only to catch trout and Spanish
mackerel in the bay down near
where the old Hindu derelict' lies,
nd they had motored to the spot
early in the morning, having plenty
of fishing tackle and sinners for
bait.
They had pulled in about all the
fish they cared for when their at
tention was directed to large OBJ
jects in the water nearby. Lewis
ran his boat alongside the objects,
which proved to be two large tur-
ties amusing themselves on the
top of the water. The water is
from fifteen to twenty feet deep at
this place, but that did not deter
Lewis from diving overheard and
grabbing the biggest one of the
turtles by his left rear flipper. 10
his surprise the big fellow did not
drag him down but ON the con-
trary readily rose to the surface.
Lewis then took hold of the boat
with one hand and held onto the
turtle with the other. Meantime
Mobley and Cooper had rope
ready and quickly they fastened
it around the neck and front flip
pers of the monster and hauled
him close to the edge of the boat.
The other turtle swan idly about
looking for its companion, and a..
soon as the first one was tied up
Lewis tackled it. 1t was roped
also, and the problem was how TO
get them into the boat. LIE wis
got aborad and wrung out his
clothes. Then took short rest.
There was work ahead and strength
was needed. Maybe there are
some old seadogs who know what
it is to pull $50 pound turtle out
of the water into boat, but very
few other kind of people ever had
such an experience. The boat
is loug and narrow and was built
for racing, and that made matters
worse.
Having rested, the young men
began the task of drawing in their
catch. Cooper managed to get
one of the rear flippers of the
largest turtle over the edge of the
boat, and the weight tipped the
boat to the waters line. He held
on however and in a moment his
companions had gotten hold of
the other, and by combined effort
managed to draw the monster in
backwards. 1t was necessary to
keep away from his head, as by
