POTATO EXCHANGE
TO Be ORGANIZED
By Farmers of East Palatka,
Hastings and Elkton.

The East Palatka Farm Associa-
ton held a well attended meeting in
the school house on the road opposite
H. O. Hamm's farm, last Monday
night There was delegation pre-
sent from Hastings, as well as party
of Palatka Board Of Trade members.
T. E. Waldrup, farm agent of the &.
S. & F. Railway, made the CHIEF ad-
dress of the evening. He discussed
organization, methods in farming, CO.
operation and marketing. Prof. Wal
dup was formerly manager If a mar
keting association in Mississippi, and
spent a good deal of time in Cincin-
,lati, and other northern centars, and
is familiar with many ways Cf the
trade. He strongly urged co-opera-
ton and gave many interesting in
stances of failure of farm societies by
reason of petty pickering and knock
ing on part of members.
The East Palatka section, it is esti-
mated, will have not less than 25Oo
acres in potatoes this winter, and If
growers can be induced to work to-
gether in harmony there can be little
doubt about having better results by
marketing as a body, than in being
scattered and going it alone. No
army or business can make progress
in that way. There are reputable
commission men in all the cities and
their buyers will visit points where
the business will justify it. That is
one Of the advantages of concentra-
ton and quantity. Prof. Waldrup ur-
ged the farmers to plant the same
kind of potatoes, grade them, report
their acreage and possible output with
the railroad marketing agencies, and
to cooperate with them through their
local organization, and that the men,
bers stick together. While farmers
complain of commission men there are
farmers who will try to pull off some
thing themselves and lose out. II
producers and sellers would only play
square under all circumstances 1t
would do its share in making farm life
one glad sweet song. At the close of
his very instructive and entertaining
talk Prof. Waldrup was asked a num-
ber of questions, to all of which he
gave ready answers.
1t was announced by the Hastings
visitors that charter had been asked
from the state for the Hastings, Elk
ton and East Palatka Potato Ex-
change, and it was hoped to get a
large part of the 1000 or 5000 acres
under cultivation in these districts in.
to the association. If the growers
can agree as is the case with similar
bodies in Virginia, Maryland and 9th
er states there can be no doubt about
the abundant success of the "Florids
Potato Patch" from which 1000 ears
went north last season.

TUESDAYS ELECTION,
HAD SOME SURPRISES
Congress Still Democratic
but by Decreased
Majority.

In the elections which were general
throughout the country on Tuesday
the democrats lost heavily in some
states but still have majority IN
both branches of Congress.
In the National House of Represen-
tatives the democratic majority was
cut. At last report the representa-
ton stands: Democrats, 226 republl-
cans 1872; progressives 10 and social
lists /. The democratic majority in
the Senate has been increased.
Whitman, republican, was elected
governor of New York over Glynn,
democrat by large mapority. The
republicans also carried Ohio. Mich
igan, Massachusetts, and Tennessee
elected democratic governors.
The progressive vote throughout
the country was much lighter than
two years ago.
In Putnam county the only opposi-
ton to the regular democratic ticket
was in the one instance of G. A. Le-
Hardy, an independent candidate for
the House of Representatives. He
carried the Palatka Heights precinct
over W. G. Tilghman, as he also did
precinct "a, the negro ward of Palat-
ka, where LeHardy had 29 and Nc
Kenzie and Tilghman 8 and 7 respec-
lively. LeHardy drew more heavily
from Tilghman than Mckenzie, and in
this city and the Heights alone he had
a tota of 126 votes. LeHardy's
strength in the county was total of
1T votes. Mckenzie led with Thigh
man perhaps a hundred short. Sew
eral men who remembered Mr.. Thigh
mans activity in behalf of "dry'
county, took this occasion to try and
break even. They simply diminished
HI natural majority by small frac.

Death of Holmes E. Waldron.

From Asheville, N. c., comes news
of the death at the home of his sister,
Mrs. M. E. Cathey, on Sunday, Nov.
1st, of Holmes E. Waldron, a son of
the late C. F. Waldron, at one time
one of the best known men in Putnam
county.
Deceased was born in Welaka 27
years ago and spent his boyhood
years at that place Some years ago
he became interested in dredging op-
erations and for a time was in Los
Angeles, California, where he was en-
gagged in the construction of the ac-
oueduct. Later he went to Mexico
where he was engaged in dredging
operations at the outbreak of the war
which put an end to the work and
drove him from that country. He
was more than two months in getting
out of that war-ridden country and
was twice taken prisoner as a spy.
He finally reached California in safe
ty, and about year ago arrived at
the home of his sister, Mrs. Cathey,
in Asheville, and in apparent good
health. Later he began to show
symptoms of tuberculosis, and for
three months his decline has been
steady. He was confined to his bed
but week, during which time he had
the acre of trained nurse.
He died with the full rites of the
Catholic church in which he had been
reared, and his funeral was held from
| his sisters home Wednesday, Nov. A.
His interment took place in the Ashe-
vile Catholic cemetery.
Friends of this young man in We
laka, Pomona, Crescent City and 9TH
err parts of the county will learn of
his death with sorrow. Mr.. Waldron
is survived by his widowed mother,
one sister, Mrs. Cathey of Asheville,
and two brothers, D. w. Waldron of
Ormond, and Leonard V. Waldron of
Key West, all of whom it is thought
were present at the funeral.

astic manner 1t is impossible for one town 20
hold successful fair without the cooperation of
the people Of the other settlements of the county
And the way to get their cooperation is to invite
them to assist in the plans and foundation for the
structure to be completed next autumn.
We note that Panguitch is holding a meeting
this week to make plans and arrangements for
their fair to be held next fall and Iron county
ought not to be one whit behind Garfield II has
been the practice in the past to start entirely too
late to work up good fair, and this practice
should be remedied the present season. It is none
too early now; we can't start earlier this season.
so lists lose no more time
1t would be well to look into the county fair
organization, ascertain Just what it consists of
how it is governed and perpetuated, and what
provision is made for the compensation of the
committee or other officials having the matter in
charge. There should be good, solid, business
like organization of some sort, Ca corporation
would be our preference) and reasonable remun-
Grafton should be provided for those who have to
carry the burden of the undertaking, for there is
an immense amount of work connected with the
preparation of good county fair.
Friends and neighbors let's get together on
this proposition. Good county fairs are matter
worthy of serious thought and serious effort.
They mean great deal in the development of the
resources of our county, and petty sectional pre-
judices if any such thing really exists should be
laid to one side and the matter taken up in a
whole-souled energetic and business-like manner.
Everybody boost for a good county fair next fall,
and let's start it off NOW.

DEALING WITH MEXICANS.

IRON what we are able to CLEAN Of the DISPOSE
ton and characteristics of the Mexican peo-
pie, from watching the progress of the pre-
sent revolution in that country, and from talking
with refugees from there, it would seem that the
following description which we take from the
Panguitch Progress is not very far wrong Editor
Eldrige Of The Progress resided In Mexico for a
number of years, and ought to know whereof he
speaks:
know the Mexican from the ground up know all
sides Of him. have lived among them in their own cou-
try The Mexican hates fears and despises the
gringo He hates him because he is better educated
than himself, better dressed and more intelligent He
fears him because of his ability to succeed and make
money and get hold of land while n himself lives from
hand to mouth lacking the enterprise and push
He at the time despises the "gringobecause mis-
taking the patience and forebearance Of the latter for
ardice fear.
If when the first American was murdered, this
government had demanded the immediate arrest and ex
ecuton of the guilty and had also demanded ndem
nifty seized custom house two dispatched warshp
the nearest Mexican port within twenty-four hours
compel them to comply with the demands or take the con
sequences there would have been great scurryng of the
warning factions to get together and settle their differ
ences to avoid punishment.
Yes the Mexican trouble could have been easily stop
ped in the start had the u s. government protected it,
citizens there just protects them in all other parts
the world.

FARMERS DEMONSTRATION TRAIN.

TvHE announcement elsewhere in this issue of
the annual tour of the Salt Lake Route Utah
Agricultural College demonstration train,
which will leave Salt Lake We'd. March 4th, and
be at Lund Saturday, March 7th will come as
fitting finale to the Roundup and Conference now
in session here, and if the program of events can
be moved ahead one cog some place in the two
weeks sessions, it would be mighty fine thing to
arrange for mammoth excursion to leave Cedar
City by automobiles early Saturday morning and
spend the day at the train in Lund, returning
either Saturday evening or Sunday morning.
These demonstrations are prepared each year
at heavy expense, and should be fully apprecia-
ted and enjoyed by the people along the line. Be-
sides the instructions and demonstrations, which
will fully compensate for the time and expense of
the trip to Lund, it is due the management of the
Salt Lake Route which is doing everything that
could be reasonably asked of it to encourage and
develop agricultural and kindred industries along
the line of its road to show our appreciation of
this special train that is sent down through the
country at heavy expense for the benefit of the
people each year.
This demonstration train is more than writ
ten article, more than a carefully prepared and
we-delivered lecture 1t is an peculiar demonstra-
ton of of the truths that will be taught dur
ing the Roundup. Seeing is believing" and a
more lasting impression can be made upon the
minds of the husbandmen by demonstration of
this kind than in any other way. 1t will be the
means of clinching the nails that being driven
during the Roundup, if you will permit the met
aphor.
We offer this as a motion. Has it a second?

WELL, HERE WE ARE AGAIN.

YES, dear readers, here we are again. You
Y perhaps thought you were though with The
Record for a week. but like the cat we came
back There will be so many good things to tell
about during the Roundup and Conference that
we simply cannot resist the temptation to have
two says" per week during the period covered
by the important event. The getting out of a
semi-weekly edition will also serve to show the
people of Cedar City and Iron county what we are
capable of doing, also, when they are ready with
sufficient patronage to warrant. Once more we
bid the visitors welcome, once more at your SER
vice for the exchange of news and thoughts. We
trust that the Roundup will prove an unqualified
success

GEORGE WASHINGTON.

Asst Sunday was the anniversary of the birth
| of the first president and one of the greatest
statesmen of the United States, as well as one
of our first great generals-the immortal George
Washington. If the United States government
remains to be 10000 years DID, as it will doubtless
do, there will be no single figure in our national
history that will stand out in holder relief than
that of Washington. Time can never dim the lus-
tire of his name and deeds. School children will
continue to read in their lessons of the part Wash
ington played in the establishment of this, the
greatest government on earth. Public buildings
VIII continue to shelter HIS image in the form of
marble, plaster of Paris and bronze. Great is the
name of Washington
Owing to the fact that Washington's Birthday
fell on Sunday this year prevented its general OBJ
servance in Cedar City, the beginning of the
roundup necesstating the keeping open of the
stores and other business houses. But for all this
no disrespect is intended to his lustrious name
and grateful people continue to hold him in the
highest reverence.
