PROPER TIME AND PLACE

1t is Of Importance TO remember
that next Monday in Ocala the mem
bers Of the state railroad commits
sion will meet the representatives of
the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard
railroads to consider the question of
the long and short haul law which
should have gone into effect eleven
weeks ago and which vitality affects
the matter OF freight rates in this
state. Our merchants, truckers,
fruit growers and shippers of all
kinds are heavily interested in this
matter and they ought to be well
represented at the. Ocala meeting
The railroads are not complying with
the law for what they claim are
good reasons, and the people on the
other side of the issue who pay the
excess freight will continue to do so
if they don't insist on their rights.
The Ocala meeting next Monday is
the time and place to do the insist
ing.-Lakeland Telegram.
Thanks to the Telegram for re-
minding its readers that it is to their
interest to be present.

DCNNNELLON DEMANDS
A TEN-FOOT DITCH

The Phosphate City's board of
trade, desiring to obtain a ten-foot
channel down the Withlacoochee
from Dunnellon to the gulf, has COM
piled data for the consideration of
Major Ladue and Congressman
Sparkman. The following from the
Dunnellon Advocate is a synopsis Of
the data:
"A ten-foot channel from Dunnel-
Ion to- the gulf would assist in NOV
lSo, 5000 tons of phosphate rock
which now goes by rail to Tampa, al
though only 80 miles from the
loading pool at Port Inglis. Of naval
stores 10000 barrels of rosin and
10000 barrels of spirits yearly could
be shipped over the water route.
Thousands of tons of rock suitable
for concrete or road building will
also be made available for. use, and
twenty billion feet of lumber and
hardwoods could be put on the mar
ket Were the river open for trade.
In addition to this the town of Dun
Mellon receives shipments of hay,
grain, groceries, dry goods, etc.,
amounting to 10000 tons annually,
which would naturally come by the
cheapest route. Altogether the
facts presented for consideration to
Major Ladue ought to insure a favor
able report on this needed improve
ment.''

Down there in St. Petersburg by
the bay, where the airboats and the
porpoises play, they'll pull off an
event of immense moment, which'll
be known abroad as DeSoto Day. 1t
will make Ponce de Leon sit up and
think, and put Mardi Gras upon the
blink. This day Of days will last for
four, and then make the people ham
ker for more. On Tuesday next it
will commence, and you'd better de-
eide to be in evidence. Of this punk
rhyme, you have enough, and the
only reason we write the CUFF, is to
follow up the ornery rhymes with a

of sixty-four pages done up brown,
with clever write-ups of it's flourish

AND HERE'S ANOTHER

Another railroad batter We
mean; not another railroad cham
pion. And we respectfully ask the
St. Petersburg Independent, and
other champions, and near cham
pions of the interests, if the Zolfo
Springs Truth hasn't right and JUS
tice on its side in the following:
Thus far We have refrained from
raising our voice in protest against
the rotten service being handed out
to us by the Atlantic Coast Line on
the Fort Myers division. We have
paid our money time and again for
little piece Of paSteboard calling for
one first-class passage from Zolfo to
our destination. We have'ridden in
coaches that would indeed make first
class cattle cars. We have waited
unlimited hours on belated trains
and have worn callOuses on our feet
as hard as the callouses on the heart
Of the railroad officials by standing
up because seating capacity was not
furnished. We have climbed over
freight cars because train crews fail
ed to cut the crossings. In fact, the
number Of indignities to which our
people have been subjected by this
excuse for a railroad are so numer-
Gus that our entire space would be
required were we to enumerate them
all.
But Friday of last week our pa
tience was exhausted. The patience
Of Job would have been exhausted
long ago. We had been having en-
CINE trouble in our plant. Rush work
was piled up on us to such an extent
that we were obliged to have a new
engine and have it at once Con-
sequently the telegraph was brought
into service and an engine ordered
expressed from Jacksonville. The
shipment was promptly made Thurs
day afternoon and the engine arriv-
ed Friday morning. But on the
same train also arrived a special car
of dead head railroad officials whose
time was so limited that the train
crew could not wait long enough to
unload the expressed engine, for
which the express company charged
us a good round sum in the coin of
the realm. One minutes time was
of more Importance to these mighty
officials than all the express in Chris
tendon. The fact that the roads
patrons paid heavy charges for SER
vices not performed made no differ
ence to these tin-horn plutocrats.
With them it's the patrons inter-
ests be damned We had a wagon
backed up to the express car door.
Six men were on hand to unload the
consignment. The express messen-
ger had fulfilled his duties and had
the heavy piece of machinery in
readiness at the. door. But notwith-
standing these facts the conductor in
charge of the train gave the go
ahead signal, nearly tearing up the
wagon in his haste to get the speed
mania crowd over the road
God speed the day when Florida
can secure relief from the indigni-
ties heaped upon her by the rail-
roads"

supposedly killed by lightning, and
which was being driven by James
Dow as one of a four-horse team
hitched to a plow on the so-called

senses a half hour after the bolt fell,
and after it had been abandoned by
Dow and others working in the field.
Mr.. Dow was riding the piow when
the bolt struck. The one horse
keeled over, apparently dead, while
the other three horses. as well aa
the driver were stunned. Thinking
the animal dead, Mr.. Dow removed
the harness. leaving the scene. He
was a few rods away when he saw
the horse show signs of life. and
presently rise to his feet, apparent
