FRUIT GROWERS MEET AT EUS
IT'S TODAY

The citrus fruit growers of Florida
meet at the pretty little town of Eus-
tbs today. AS all the citrus fruit grow
ers have been urged to be present it
Is hoped that the meeting will be a
large one. The delegates and visitors
will be given a cordial welcome by
Mayor l. N. Kennedy, and e. L. Fer
ran, president of the Eustis board of
trade. Other speakers will be Clar-
ence e. Woods, editor of the Eustis
Lake Region; ]. H. Ross. president of
the Florida Citrus Exchange; G. W..
Holmes, secretary of the exchange for
Lake county, and Geo. A. Scott, man.
ager for the New England states for
the exchange.
One reason that Eustis was selected
for this years annual meet was be-
cause it is centrally located and has
one of the largest and best packing
houses in the state.
One of the chief topics to be taken
up at the meeting will be the best
method of packing and marketing cit
rus fruit.
There is every indication of bump
er crop in Florida next season and
fruit growers believe the crop must
be properly distributed and put up in
the best possible manner.
1t is understood that the directors
Of the exchange are satisfied with
last seasons advertising campaign,
and they intend to advertise Florida
citrus fruit heavier than ever the COM
Ign season.

We enjoyed very pleasant visit
on Monday from Mr.. C. C. Stephens of
the Martel neighborhood. 1t was a
source of very great regret with Mr..
Stephens that he was unable to attend
the reunion, after making his prepa-
rations to do so. He has a grandson
living in Jacksonville and was conf
dent that he would have enjoyed the
trip immensely, but sickness in his
family prevented him from going at
the last moment.

JOHN TAYLoR's PROPOSITION
viii Furnish Current of $1,000 Per
K. W., for Cents and Over
That Sum for 81 Cents

nat Gum TOT OF SSHtS
Ocala, Fla, May 10, 1914.
To the Honorable Light and Water
Committee of the City Council Of
the City of Ocala:
Dear Sirs-In your specifications
asking for bids for current to be
supplied to the city, your conditions
are too uncertain and do not specify
all conditions that are necessary.
The term of contract is too short
for the city to get low figure on
current, considering the outlay ne
cessary in order to supply it.
The time allowed to get ready to
furnish the current is very short, un-
less the city council allow the sue
cessful bidder to operate the city
plant until plant or lines are con-
structed.
You do not state what your maxi
mum peak load would be.
If you are only after ascertaining
what current can be purchased for,
we beg to make you the following
price, delivered at switchboard in the
city of Ocala:
We will under proper conditions,
to protect our own and the city's in
terest, supply you with a minimum
of $4,000 K. w. hours per calendar
month at &c. per K. w. hour. If the
city will operate the water plant with
electricity, thereby increasing the
load, We will make them price of
3-4c. per K. w. hour for all current
used in excess of $4,000 K. W. hours
per month We are of the opinion
that with proper equipment, economi-
cal management and combination OF
the light and water plants, the city
can make current for good deal less
than this figure, as we expect to make
a profit in supplying the city. In the
event that you decide to buy current,
we feel that it is to the city's interest
that you make contract with us, as
we are right here on the ground,
which will greatly eliminate the
chances of damage to lines by storm,
etc., also the city's equipping and
maintaining an auxiliary plant will
not be necessary, and the city plant
can be sold. Besides the money we
spend for labor and fuel in manufac-
turing the current will greatly benefit
the Ocala merchants.
Hoping that we can get together on
the terms of the controct, We are,
Yours respectfully,
Ocala Manufacturing Co.,
John Fl. Taylor.

GREAT is THE BRYAN PRIMARY
ELECTION LAW

The first statement issued by the
authority of the state, giving the plat
forms and other matters of interest
concerning candidates, has just made
its appearance. The new law requires
the state to issue book or pamphlet
in interest of all candidates and the
one just put out by the secretary of
state is now being circulated among
the voters. The one at hand gives
Senator Fletcher three pages, includ-
ing his photograph, to acquaint the
voter with his claims to reelection.
J. N. C. Stockton has three pages;
Acosta, one; L'Engle, one; Maloney,
two; Sears, two, and Williamson, one.
For justice of the supreme court, FL
lis has one; for commissioner of ag-
riculture, Appleyard has one and Me-
Rae one, and that is all there is to
the document.-Miami Herald.

OFFICIALS SEIZE
THREE WHlSkEY STILLS
IN MARION

Very few suspected that where
whiskey is sold so openly as it is III
this county that there would be any
necessity for the hazardous business
of moonshining, but it seems that the
government knows better what is 20
ing on in our midst than we do cur
selves.
At any rate it sent out its deputies
in the persons of Deputy United
States Marshal P. NJ. Hagan and Dep
uty I. w. Smith, and they were sue
cessful in locating three stills that
were being operated in the Fairfield
section.
The three stills were confiscated,
and likewise the liquor.
The deputies were only successful
in securing about four quarts of IL
ouor and one barrel of what is known
as "low wine"
The "moonshiners' were all color
ed, to-wit: Milton Roberts, Pluto
Roberts, Isaac Gordon and Isaac Kin
caide.
They were brought before Commits
sioner David S. Williams of this city
and were placed under bond to appear
at the next term of the United States
court, which does not convene in this
city, we understand, until next Janu'
airy.
Gordon was placed under $500
bond, and the others 5000 each.

summer. Mr.. Timmins plans to get

MUST REMAIN
OUT Of MEXICO.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. Again
mas the government issued a warning
to Americans to stay out of Mexico
and especially are they warned not to
resume industry in the southern re-
public. Since the strife is expected
to continue Indefinitely until the fac
tons fight to death, it is the desire of
the government that Americans stay
away from the scene and not force the
United States into any further embar
easements with Mexico Citizens who
disregard this Injunction will be oblig
ed to look out for themselves, as the
government is determined to take no
unnecessary part in the Mexican civil
var.
President Wilson, in his last speech
before congress, outlined the policy
the administration would pursue to-
ward Mexico. He said that Huerta
iad assumed the power of a dictator.
That the rebels We're CONSTITUTIONAL
lists, and the sympathy of this govern
uent would ever be for them as
against the acts of an arbitrary rul-
er. His idea is to let them fight it
belief that the constitutionalists will
shortly be victorious and order be re-
stored 1t is because the constitu-
tionalists do not favor the large land
grants made to Americans by Diaz
and upheld by Huerta, that Hearst
and others are so warmly supporting
Huerta and urging the United States
to interfere in the dictator's behalf.
