Trouble Brewing

New Decatur. November &-(Speciall-A maelstrom of conflicting authority Is brewing in Morgan county as result of the recommendation of recent grand jury that Office Deputy Sheriff James Draper be dismissed from duty. and which recommendation, up to this time, Sheriff James A. Forman has refused to follow. Several weeks ago the grand jury, at the same time 1t recommended the impeach- ment of Hon. D. c. Almon, solicitor of the Eighth judicial circuit court, recommend ed that MT. Draper be dismissed. Sheriff Forman failed to heed the suggestion and when the grand jury again made a report late yesterday it called the attention of Judge Thomas w. Vert to this fact.
 Sheriff Forman has given out a state ment declaring the conduct of the office was bis business" He said that he had hired MT. Draper as an office deputy to keep the accounts and books of the of flee. and that it was understood at the time he was employed that Draper would not have to make arrests.

are more than likely to be made good by conditions in other parts of the country which affect like crops. It is an inter esting and rather curious statement which comes from Minneapolis showing as it does that notwithstanding the fact that the country has on the whole har- vested the largest food crop on record and one of the largest corn crops in the north west the corn crop was partial failure, at least in a considerable part of the area where 1t has long been an important, if not the chief, commodity grown by the farmers. Yet in other parts of the coun- try the harvest of corn has been so boun-
 tiful that the failure in the northwest means no more than this: Had the farm CTS of the northwest harvested corn as the farmers in other parts of the country have done the aggregate harvest of corn in 1915 would have been the greatest we have ever had.
 to it swiftly and adequately to utilize an immense amount of valuable feed. All through the northwest the farmers are busily occupied in perfecting plans where by undeveloped, half ripe corn can be converted into ensilage. This might be thought to be merely a local question, not of particular moment to the rest of lAC SOuAANhS. lHSNStiNly u iiNOiNSS AoSeCA p that are of national importance since a great demand for stock to which the en- silage may be fed has suddenly devel- oped, and as result the banks through out the northwest are finding, for the first time in many weeks, an excellent de- mand for funds This demand will sooner or later be reflected in other parts of the country
 In the east there is little understanding of the magnitude of the movement of grain from the harvest fields to the mar kets of Minneapolis and Duluth. New rec ords are being made and grain is moving in large and increasing volume. The rail- road managers were prepared for the heavy demand for transportation so that there will be no great difficulty to be overcome by the railroads in moving grain from the fields to the market.

nents in the far west, and has carried on considerable business with some of those who are exploiting the mines of Idaho.
 After the narration was finished. he said that it would be difficult to make any report respecting mining development in Idaho which was exaggerated, for the mining industry under way in that state matches, relatively speaking at least, min ing industries elsewhere in the United States But. after all, the future of Idaho and of some of the far away western states is to be linked with agriculture and it's expansion rather than with the working of the mines. Few persons even in the west, and hardly any in the east, he said, have the slightest conception of what the agricultural development of Idaho is to be, and, probably, within a few years. Those who have been per- suaded that the available lands for the cultivation of wheat and other grains is being rapidly taken up would be aston ished if they were to see or to learn something of the enormous area in Idaho which is peculiarly adapted to agricul- ture That will be the chief industry oi Idaho one of these days, for the work ing of mines cannot continue indefinitely especially the precious metal mines
 From other parts of the remote west the states lying upon the eastern slopes of the Rocky mountains, come reports to this city which tell of the increase Tn agriculture, especially in states which a few years ago were presumed to be chler- ly occupied for many years with min ing.
 From that large area in the northwest which has been set apart as the ninth federal reserve district authoritative re- ports came to this city today which sug- gest how important to our prosperity Is the vast natural area devoted to agri- culture. because If in some sections crop conditions are not very gratifying, these

Blew Off Neighbours Head

Eufaula. November 3.-(Speclal.) )-Henry Garner, a white farmer living in the western part of the county, has been con- victed by a jury in the Barbour county circuit court of murder in connection with the killing of his brother-in-law, named Owens. The two became involved some weeks ago in quarrel over some land, with the result that Garner blew off Owens head with a shotgun. The case was immediately taken up by the grand jury, and now after a weeks strenuous work. the trial has resulted in a con- viction. The sentence imposed by the court was life Imprisonment. Solicitor T. M. Patterson of Clayton was assisted in prosecuting the case by c. S. Me- Dowell of Eufaula and G. W. Beach of Clayton. The defense was represent ed by former Judge M. Sollie and son of Ozark and Vim & Winn of Clayton.

Unprecedented Cotton Market

Eufaula. November 4.--(Special. Ware housemen and cotton men in general say that unprecedented conditions now exist in the local cotton market. Despite the fall in prices, hardly bale is being sold. although the contrary might be expected.
 The holding movement is stronger than ever before and is running into thousands of bales at this point and others contrib
 utory to this city. Recent statements of
 the Eufaula banks show that nearly $500, -'
 600 has already been loaned on cotton at 6 per cent interest under the federal re- serve plan. At a season of the year when the market Is generally most active 1t is now quieter than it has been for many months The warehouses are all most filled to capacity, while there are 4000 or more bales held at the Enfaula com press.

that part of the grain which is not con 'verted into flour at Minneapolis will find it's way to the eastern seaports, and what that means for the railroads needs no demonstration. It is believed by those whose whose Judgment is good that this movement of crops in part explains the appreciation in the market quotations of the shares of some of the railroads, cer- tainly the trunk lines. From Los An Hgeles and other centers upon the Pacific coast have come reports to this city that there is no perceptible influence felt there attributable to the war orders. Not yet has the vast stim- ulus which has been created in the east and in the middle west by war orders req ched the Pacific coast
 It is probable, however. that Minneapo- lis is feeling the stimulus occasioned by war orders. since authoritative. reports reached this city today that substantial Ky. the entire Minneapolis milling capacity is now employed and shipments of flour are maintained upon a very large scale.
 John Fl. Rich. the federal reserve agent of the ninth district, of which Minneapolis is the center, has informed his friends in New York that in the last two weeks of October there was considerable in- crease in tke amount of rediscounts at the federal reserve bank. There seems to be only one interpretation of this movement and that is, according to MT, Rich, that it indicates a considerable in- crease in the demands for money at local points. This of itself is a significant change, since in the late spring and dur ing the summer bankers through the northwest, and also in Iowa, informed their friends in New York that the plethera of funds which they were car rying was without any precedent and that they were embarrassed by reason of the magnitude of deposits since they could not find profitable employment for the money Now there begins to be profitable employment and this is looked upon as one of the factors which are aiding great ly ir the revival of business activity, at least in. that part of the United States which is east of the Rocky mountains.

Spy Under Arrest at Tallahassee

Tallahassee, Aug. 13.-The prelim-
mary hearing of Walter Ortolph, who
is accused by Federal officials of Sc
rectly visiting United States military
reservations along the Florida coast
to secure in formation concerning
national defenses, has been postpon-
ed until next Tuesday. Ortolph is
held in default of five thousand dollar
bond on a technical charge of tres
pass.
Jail attaches said Ortolph said he
was German and was seeking to es-
tablish apiaries in Florida.
The prisoner is alleged to have Wis
tied and made drawings of the mil
itary reservations and lighthouses at
Flag Island, opposite Carrabelle, Port
st. Joe, Crooked Island, Moreno Point,
Santa Rosa Island, Apalachicola Bay,
st. Andrews Bay, Panama City, Fort
Pickens and Barancas, all along the
Gulf coast of Florida, and within the
jurisdiction of the United States court
for the Northern district of Florida.
He is also alleged to have visited and
made sketches of the reservations off
Cedar Keys and all others as far
south as the entrance of Tampa Bay.
He has been in this vicinity over
three months and has registered at To-
cal hotels as Ortolph, but has inquired
repeatedly for mail for Rudolph and

near Mercedes, in Hidalgo county, and
the capture of % of the bandits sad
die horses near there, leads TO the be-
lief here that one of the bands has

Federal and state officials refused

Federal authorities took no action
on the appeal of Governor Ferguson
for additional soldiers.
General Funston who is in command
on the border has been given author
ity in the matter and he did not call
for more troops.
Secretary Garrison made it plain
that the government expects Texas

GREAT ENTHUSIASM
AMONG ORANGE GROWERS

At Largely Attended Meeting, Or
ganizatiOn Perfected and Arrange
ments Made to Build a Big Packing
House.
One of the most important business
meetings that has assembled in Ocala
for some time, was held in the office
of Mr.. A. r. Sandlin, manager of the
Marion Sub-Exchange this morning,
on call made by him.
Those present at the meeting were:
DR.. j. H. Ross, of Winter Haven,
president of the Florida Citrus Ex-
change; Mr.. L. D. Jones, of Tampa,
business manager of the exchange;
Mr.. H. L. Borland, of Citra, vice pres

son of the Gaitskill Farms, Mr.. A. H.
Mcintyre, of Dunedin, representing
the Skinner Packing House Machin-
cry Co.
Mr.. Sandlin called the meeting to
order and addressed the gentlemen
on the subject of the gathering. Mr..
Sandlin made a fine talk and explain
ed many things to his audience and
told how and why the erection and
operation of a central packing house
in Ocala would pay the growers now
and after few years pay directly on
the money invested in it.
Mr.. Sandlin stated that he had
signed statements from growers in
this territory who would have this
year from 10000 to 10000 boxes of
fruit that could be handled to great
advantage here, agreeing to come into
the enterprise and ship their fruit
through the house He stated fur
ther that this quantity of fruit alone
would pay for the house and equip
ment in very few years, that the
amount of fruit was bound to increase
rapidly and there was much fruit out
side of this guarantee that was sure
to come here.
Mr.. Sandlin said that the pay roll
of this house would be from $4,000 to
$4,000 per year, that the crates, the
nails, the ice and labor could all be
had right in Ocala and the only mon
ey that would have to go away from
home was for the wrapping paper
The fruit that would Immediately
come here to be packed would come
from Marion, Alachua and Sumter
counties and there was far more of
it scattered through the country than

DIR. Ross stated briefly that the ex-
change was not an association for

operation was the acme of religion
and civilization and the fact that so
many enlightened and intelligent men
could be gotten together and held to-
gether for their mutual benefit, spoke
most highly of our present day civili-
zation. He was proud of the organi-
zation and of the good work it has
done, together with the great posi-
bilities for its future good.
DR.. Ross said that we heard a
great deal of the over-production Of
citrus fruits in Florida. 81 tell you,"
he said, "there is no over-production,
but under-distribution and marketing.
There are IOO,OOO,OOO people in this
country. to use citrus fruits. Only
forty millions of them have ever tast-
ed an orange or grapefruit. Only
twenty millions of these are regular
customers; the other twenty millions
use it occasionally. There were ten
million boxes of fruit grown in the
state last season (of which the ex-
change handled two million boxes). II
there were twenty million boxes
grown and the fruit was properly
marketed, there would be a good de-
mand for it all
Last season, from the opening of
the season to the 18th of March. the
Independent shippers and other asso-
Citations of various character through
out the state, piled the fruit in GER
tain centers and glutted every big
market; the prices went to smash and
there was little realized for the fruit.
The exchange pied with its members
tc hold back shipments and also tried
to get the general public to hold back.
From March 18th 10 the last of the
season, the exchange controlled the
situation and was able to regulate and
ship where it wishes. The growers
got fair prices for their fruit, as much
or more than they did the season be-
fore, prior to the outbreak Of the Eu-
ropean war, showing that it was not
the war or the financial condition of
the country that ruined the market,
but unwise shipments and lack Of dis
triJution."
DR.. Ross said he and Mr. Jones had
been spending their vacation during
this ''fine cool weather" travelling all
over the citrus belt Of the state in an
automobile, talking with the growers,
advising with them and trying to in
duce them 10 come into the great or
ganization and establish packing
houses and get together for their
mutual benefit.
He said there were many young
groves coming into bearing and many
old groves were receiving better care,
and the yield was increasing all the
time, but that if all the available or
ange land in the state were crowded
together into one solid body it would
