WHY AWARD SPACE
TO 4 kN0CkER?

The Times Union of July 2Sth,
must have been hard up for first page
stuff to print the opinion of one A. B.
Mcpherson, of Tallahassee, who
seems to have wandered off to Wash
ingtsn, and from there telsgraphed to
that paper what he thinks about the
orange industry in this state. Mr..
Mcpherson does not live in the orange
producing part of Florida, whence b.
600 ears went north during the sea-
son just closed, and why the Times
Union considered his opinion worth
the telegraph tolls is beyond under
standing.
Printed volumes covering every
phase of the orage industry in Flori-
da. written by experienced growers,
are available to intelligent people.
There are grouches everywhere who
say things as unimportant as this
opinion of Mr.. Mcpherson. p
We have no doubt his amateurisn
assault on one Of our great industries,
so prominently displayed in our
Jacksonville contemporary, will be
used most etfectually in California and
bv northern real estate men who DO
not overlook any chance TO knock
Florida. and his was an elegant knock.
Oranges are never grown in Florida
or anywhere else without work or
care, and that is true Of everything,
everywhere, in all the world.

MAIN AND BREWERY
 PACKED TO HEAR THE
 C. & A. BAND PLAY

The crowds on the streets of Bis bee last night belied the reports of sanguinary disasters in Mexico and the reported invasion of any territory. The c. X A. band played for several hours in the streets of the downtown section and collected an offering for the relief of the Johnson Addition fire sufferers. The total subscribed was S72.57, which was immediately turned ever to Miss Cummings.
 Every available inch of space on Main street was taken up by the crowds. The wonderful music offered by the star musical organization was enjoyed by all who heard it. A great part of the audience followed the band from it's Main street stand to Brewery Avenue when it played on the latter street
 The work of the bandmen was com mended on every side. It is clearly indicative of the spirit of the entire district in responding to the call for help from the fire stricken people of Johnson Addition.
 Beginning on May 8, the c. & A. band will play at Warren Park, where no doubt, many people will go 70 hear the superb music which is the pro 1 duct of the organization.

BADGER EXTENDING
 LINES VERA CRUZ

WASHINGTON, April 25.- Badger reported tonight that he was extending his lines of blue jackets and marines further. A battalion of marines from the South Carolina is now entrenehed two and one.half miles west of the city. No contact has been had with Mexican forces and none is expected in the imme- diate future. The MississippPs marines landed this morning and an aeroplane made a flight over the harbor.
 Last night firing was desultory, but continued a considerable pe- riod. One private was slightly wounded. The questoin of food and water is giving anxiety, but up to the present there Is no actual distress. 1t is probable that ultimately the government will have to ration the poorer classes. lt Is difficult to secure labor at the wharves.
