MILK AND CREAM
BY THE SEABOARD

The Seaboard Air Line Railway is
doing great deal to foster the dairy
business in Florida. 1t has encourag-
ed dairymen along its lines to ship
milk and cream to Jacksonville,
which city has in years past depend
ed for such supplies largely on
Georgia and Carolina diaries. even
receiving milk and cream from as
far north as New York. The Sea
board gives special rates on milk,
takes special care of it and returns
bottles and cans, at their own risk,
to the owners. A considerable bus
mess is being built up on the var
ious trains running into Jackson
vile, particularly from the west.
Some milk, though not much in pro-
portion, has been shipped out of Ma
rion county, and the Star has no
doubt that the railroad will encour-
age any Marion county farmer or
dairyman who desires to go into the
business.
Inc SeaDoard train service thru
this part of Florida is particularly
well adapted for shipping milk to
either Jacksonville or Tampa. The
trains pass thru Marion county at
the right time to ship milk of the
evening before, so it will reach the
larger, cities just at the hour in the
early morning that it is most need
ed
Seaboard agents in Marion county
have not received any instructions
about this milk business yet, but a
on the part of our dairy
men to accept the railroads facil-
tiles will doubtless cause arrange
ments to be made Immediately.

PROPOSED TRAIN
FROM PALATKA

The people living along the Coast
Line in Marion county take great
interest in the proposition for the
morning and evening train between
Palatka and Ocala. Secretary Room
ey this morning received a petition
to the railroad commission from
Kendrick, signed by sixty citizens OF
that solid community. He has also
received petitions from Eyinston,
Mcintosh, Reddick and Fessenden,
and will no doubt receive others
from every place on the line in time
to forward them to the railroad
commission before August /. There
is no doubt that the people along the
line want the train and will give it
paying patronage.

SUPERB ENDOWMENT
FOR SOUTHLAND SEMINARY

The following dispatch from Bra
dentown. telling of a $50, 100000 en-
dowment for st. Petersburg school,
reads much more like romance than
reality:
Bradentown, July 20.-Sunday
evening there arrived here by auto
mobile from ST. Petersburg, a sturdy
old man whose appearance indicated
some rough contests with the world.
His sole errand was to see Mrs. Ste
vens, and he had conference with
her after the Sunday evening meet
ing. He left early on Monday morn
ing on his return to st. Petersburg.
This old man was a retired sea cap
tain named McIrwin, resident of
Havana, Cuba, and multimillion-
aire in wealth.
Captain McIrwin, who has himself
no education in the usual sense of
the word, has two daughters whom
he determined should be we'll edu-
Gated, and so spent much time and
money visiting some of the most
widely advertised girls schools In the
South. He happened to hear the
Southland seminary most favorably
mentioned and visited it. The school
was poor, and struggling for a foot
hold but it's methods and the good
sense in its course of study, so I'm
pressed the old sea captain that he
selected it for his daughters and
sent them there some two or three
years ago.
The Misses McTrwin have been stu
dents in the Southland seminary ev-
er since, spending their vacations
with their father in Havana, and get
ting frequent visits from him at the
school. He was delighted with the
results-so much so that a few
months ago he determined to sub
stantialIy endow the school as a mem
orial to his mother. 1t appears that
he was born or lived at Gainesville
for many years and Captain McIr-
wins mother was buried there.
Remembering her struggle and his
own, and seeing the efforts of the
president, DR.. E. L. Stevens, to main
tain the high standard set for the
Southland seminary, and in memory
of his mother, he made over to the
school 5000 acres of fine hardwood
forest in Cuba.
The captain had already establish
ed a regular traffic with European
ports for these enthusiastically
mahogany, rosewood and ebony
and there is a steady demand, and
consequently regular income com
ing from this traffic. Tt is from this
source that the funds are derived tC
pay for buildings which are being
erected by the seminary.
The plans include buildings of va
ried architecture, as Spanish, Egypt
ian, Moorish, etc. The first building
is the Spanish, and the finishing
work is being done, though it viii
require some months. This building
will be followed by others. An ex
pert landscape gardner will plan tn
campus and it is to be one of tn.
most beautiful in the south.
The value of the endowment givel
by Captain McIrwin to the Southlan,
seminary is placed at $50, 900, 900
, most magnificent memorial t
Mother" and which will serve t
Eeducate the girls Of this section. Sue
munificent gift could not be bet
ter appropriated.
We congratulate st. PETERSBURG
on being the home of the Southlan
seminary with its unusual prospects
though the Land of Manatee will ge
much benefit from being so close t
such an opportunity to educate it
daughters.

to do, and on the 22d at Ais in the
afternoon we opened fire.
81 had been assigned to one of the
guns in the ten-inch mortar pit No. 2.
1t was from this pit that the first shell
against the city was fired by Major
Bankhead We could see it soar into
the ARR and descend in great arc
behind the city wall. A moment later
we heard the distant, dull report as it
exploded.
From that time on our guns were
practically never silent for four days.
We worked in relays, firing at night
and during the day. Commander
Perry had sent ashore several thous-
and sailors and battery of big guns
from his vessels, and these did heavy
execution. The castle and the forts
replied to us steadily for three days,
when their ammunition began to give
out Some of their shells were effec-
tive, for at the end of hte battle our
dead totaled SO men. l remember

Smelling the city from the harbor
The Mexican soldiers made a brave
fight. They stood to their guns like
men. We learned afterward that one
of our shells, entering the magazine
of FIT. Conception, blew it up, killing
hot Of
cept one man. Another she'll entered
the female infirmary, killing II in
mates. In yet another section sur
geons were operating on a wounded
man when suddenly1 ten-inch shell
came through the roof and exploded,
putting out all the lights. When new
lights were brought it was seen that
both surgeons and patients had been
blown to pieces.
1--WE fired an average of $50 shots
an hour during most of the fight. At
times we increased this number, but
the order was to stick as near to 1t
as possible. On the night of the 26,
if / remember, the Mexicans sent
out word that they wanted to parley.
Before this the foreign Consuls had
joined in a petition for truce to
take the women and children out of
the city, but we had been forced to
refuse to grant it on the grounds that
we had given plenty of notice of our
intention to lombard, which had been
ignored by the COnsuls.
We'll, the result of the truce for
parley was that the Mexicans con-
sented to surrender ON condition that
they be paroled and that no indigni-
ties be permitted in the city by our
forces General Scott accepted the
terms, and on the 10Th the defenders
marched out and stacked their arms.
Then we went down to the city.
1T was then | got my first idea OF
what war really was. There were
500 dead citizens in the city; there
were 600 dead soldiers. The houses
were knocked into kindling, and wo-
men and children lay dead under
them. There was danger of disease
breaking out.
Houses were filled with wounded,
whose cries filled the sunlight and
the dark, alike, in never-ending mon
otone. We did what we could to re-
store order and bring comfort to the
sufferers. Vera Cruz was ours, and
that was the price we paid for it,
