TRACTION FRANCHISE
ORDINANCE VETOED
LITTLE ROCK EXECUTIVE GIVES
REASONS FOR WITHHOLDING
SIGNATURE.

Little Rock, Nay 22.-Mayor C. E.
Taylor last night announced his veto
of the ordinance granting franchise
to the Little Rock and Pine Bluff
Eastern Traction Company, to cross
the free bridge into Little Rock with
its proposed line
He assigned as his reason for with
holding his approval that he did not
consider the contract under the ordi-
nance is such that it meets the approx
al of the people; that it grants a valu-
able franchise for total of $4,000
for a term of 30 years; that it pro-
vides for street railway line on "a
foot roadway where traffic is already
taxed to its limit; that no adequate
provisions are made for terminals and
turn-cuts; that there is no adequate
assurance that it will be an interur-
ban line, since by the forfeiture of a
bond of $3.50 it will be possible for
the company to acquire valuable urban
nSnt ana DullQ no lnlefulDdn dl all.
The mayor expresses himself in full
sympathy with all projects for public
improvements and increased transpor-
tation facilities, but insists that under
the arrangements proposed in the or
dinance these are not assured.
Now the question arises, will the
council sustain the veto? 1t was pass
ed by vote of 10 to 6. Eleven will
be needed to pass it over the mayor
veto. Those who voted against the
ordinance are Messrs. Harper, Gun
ningham, Smith, Palez, Hollis and Adj
arms, and it is understood they are
pledged to sustain the veto.

CANAL CONNECTING SlLVEF
SPRINGS AND THE WITH
LAcOOcHEE

Mayor Robertson has been instru-
mental in having a preliminary sur
vey made of a canal connecting the
waters of Silver Springs and the
Withlacoochee river.
Mr.. Durham of the United States
engineering carps, has made the sur
vey and every two hundred feet be-
tween these two objective points
stakes have been driven, to mark the
elevations.
The distance between the two bod
iese of water is but a little more than
twenty-three and a half miles.
1t is believed that with a few con
tours not more than twelve feet OF
excavations would have to be made.
This is a most important project
and if the government could be inter
ested in it favorably it would event
ually lead to a sea level canal.
Mr.. Durham is now ready with his
report, and it is proposed to have him
make the same in the court house
Saturday night to as large a gather
ing as possible.

John Breckenridge Castleman was
wonderful man. He was a member
of Morgan's command He joined the
command when he was 19 years oil
age. Merit gave him promotion to q
captaincy, and finally he became ma
jor. While attempting to release
Confederate prisoners he was captur
ed in Indiana. His life was spared
by Lincoln, but he was placed in sol
itary confinement, and remained Sc
until July, 1865, at which time he was
released by President Johnson ON a
promise to leave the United States
forever. He was an exile in Europe
when in December, 1866, he was
granted permission to return to his
native land. He has been a wonder
fully useful man since then. so much
SO that a statue to perpetuate his no
BILE work has been erected to him
while he is yet living.

SOUTH FLORIDA ON A BOOM

Dir. Chas. V. Miller is back from a
more or less extensive trip over south
Florida. In his itinerary he included
Lakeland, ST. Petersburg, Braden-
town, Palmetto, Tampa and other
places. 1t Is the boast of Lakeland
that the records show that more than
a house day has been built for ev-
every day during the past year. ST.
Petersburg, Bradentown and Palmet-
to are overrun with land buyers,
and lands no richer than ours are
readily selling for as much as three
hundred dollars an acre. Lands, the
prices of which are no more than ten
and twenty dollars per acre, are at
tracing no attention whatsoever.
City property has increased in valu-
alton the same as fruit and farm
lands. The woods are full of people
and the praise of Florida is on every
tongue. Mr.. Miller thinks that there
will soon be an overflow, and that
Marion county will get the benefit of
the overflow, and in little while our
woods will be full of land buyers. We
are bound. some day, to be discovered
and when that day comes there will
be no retrocession, for our lands will
more and more appreciate in intrinsic
value.

FARMING WITH THE CASH

Farming without money-without
a certain amount of ready cash-is
like making bricks in the olden time
without straw. A certain amount of
cash is indispensable for carrying on
the necessary farm operations and
for comfortable and progressive liv-
ing such as the average farmer not
only desires, but requires. Raise all
he may, there is always some arti-
cles of food that must be bought, be-
sides clothing, and the wants that
culture demands and which makes liv-
ing worth while.
The Florida farmer, who raises
most of his food products that his
family consumes. is fortunate, and he
will be in a position to live cheaply,
but unless there be crops or animals
! in addition to the food supply that he
may sell for cash, the standard of liv-
! ing will be lower than it should be-
and it may be necessary to sacrifice in
some way to provide clothing, educa-
I ton for the children, and certain
wants that refinement demands.
The best plan is to produce as much
+ of the food products as possible, pro
vided the crops and animals raised
for this purpose can be produced eco
nomically; then choose one or more
crops or animals, as your conditions
may suggest, for a cash income. The
crop may be potatoes. peanuts. mel
ons, cane, or the animals cows OF
hogs. or whatever you consider the
farm will produce most abundantly
and profitably.
In former times cotton was the
money crop for the farmers in this
section and the farmers in Georgia
and South Carolina and other south
ern states who have stuck to cotton
i have been rewarded with a most com
Portable bank account
With a cash income sufficient to
meet the demands above enumerated
what is produced for food and feed the
farmer can be truly independent OF
! the credit system. and, what is very
important. buy for cash, and get the
/ advantage that ready cash always af
fords.
! The credit system is intolerable
and will always make the average
farmer newer of wood and a toter
of water"
The newcomer must be made to
understand that farming is not a
dream-it is a hard reality.
! When he gets his land paid for it
is just A in the alphabet He must
, clear it = and fence it. Then he has
got to pillow it and harrow it. He has
got to build his houses and his barns
and his cross fences. He has got to
buy his horses and his wagons; his
COWS and his hogs; his household and
kitchen furniture and his farming i'm
plements as a beginning. He may
multiply these things afterwards. He
must not expect to go upon the farm
! empty-handed and grow profitable
crops, it matters not if the soil be as
rich as the delta of the Nile.
