WILL NOT INJURE
ADJACENT STREAMS

Since the operation of the new
Lakeland phosphate nine was COM
menced several weeks ago, good
deal of speculation has arisen as to
what will be done with the excess
mud and water which always follows
the mining operations. a strong OPP
position having arisen among the
residents of the territory for some
miles north of the mine to the WI
ter being turned into the creeks run
ming in that direction.
1t is claimed that large quantities
of the muddy water has already
been turned into Winston Greet,
with the Blackwater and Hills
borough rivers as the final outlet,
and that continuance of this would
eventually kill all fish in these
bodies of water. as well as DESTROY
the natural beauty of the rivers
DR.. j. w. Alsobrook, as direc-
tor of the Plant City Board of
Trade, accompanied by Geo H.
Wilder. w. M. Cone and G.. C.
Woodward, went over to Lakeland
yesterday afternoon. and out to the
phosphate mine, and interviewed r.
e. Memminger with regard to the
matter. explaining to him the gen
, eral feeling of the people of this Sec
tlon about using the Blackwater as
mines.
The gist of Mr.. Memminger's
, statement, as reported by DR.. Also
/ brook, is given briefly, and would
, seem to indicate that there need be
no alarm felt regarding the desecra-
, tion of the waters of the Blackwa-
ter and Hillsborough from the min
ing operations. Mr.. Memmingor
stated that the company had built
large dam to hold in the water un.
til the mud could settle, only the
colored water, almost free fror
heavy sediment, OVERLOOKING the
banks of the dam In reference tC
the water which has already gone
into winston creek, he stated thai
the recent heavy rains came before

completed, causing break In thu

not occurred, none of this mudd,
water would have been turned in t.
the creek. He stated further tina
there was only twenty acres of lant
On the north side of the mine which
would ever be mined, and that pro
visions were being made to TAX
care of the mud from that mine
The rest of the mining, he stated
would be done on the other side o
the plant, and all water and mu'
be carried in the opposite direction
from the Blackwater, using tn
Alfalfa river as an outlet for the sur
plus water. According to Mr.
Memminger. proper dams will b
constructed to hold the mud until
settles, allowing only the water t
run off, and this, he declared, woul
be carefully handled through lar9

With the Belgian Army, Feb. II (By

the swashbucklers are daily outdone
here among the floods of Flanders,
where the army of King Albert
stands with its back to the wall, fight
ing to hold the little strip of Belgian
soil still to be called its own.
For instance, there is the secret
band of "The Hundred and Fifty" 1t
is composed of volunteer soldiers,
picked men who snap their fingers in
the fact of death, and who, when the
worst comes to worst, meet their
doom with a jaunty smile on their
lips-a smile tinged just little with
scorn, and which says to the grim
firing squad:
"Shoot and be hanged! It's little |
carel"
The general public knows little or
nothing of "The Hundred and Fifty"
but there isn't Belgian trooper who
doesn't know of the band and speak
of it with something of awe and mys-
terry in his voice. When an enter
prise is on foot requiring supreme
daring, unfaltering courage, do or

perhuman sort, 1.-THE Hundred and

The two fronts pass along the
course Of the User in a general way,
the battle line occupying the roads

the roads, practically an impossibility, |
since one machine gun can hold off

must wade from knee to neck deep in |
the ice-cold sea water or cross on |
RATS or scows, an equally impossible |
feat during daylight hours. Stealth

vance along this part of the line and

large numbers of infantry have be-

ter to make the dash themselves.
Here is an illustration. 1t was
learned that the Germans had estab-
llshed themselves on one of the many
islands iutting out of the inundation
and were using it for various often
siVe operations. An observer posted
IN the massive tower Of a mediaeval
church there was giving most deadly
instructions by telephone to the Ger
Man batteries of S-inch guns situated
so far back that the much lighter Bel
gian artillery was ineffective against
them. Something had to be done to
put this outpost out of commission.
The first night twenty men went
out to capture the island, it being be
lieved that it was occupied by only
eight or ten men. None of the TWEEN
ty came back. The second night one
of The $50 left the Belgian lines
alone, swimming. When he returned
shortly before daylight he astonished
everybody by reporting the tiny island
held by two lone sentries. A large
island, however. some 200 yards fur
ther back. held some $50 Germans,
and between this island and the tower
ran a causeway made of brush tied
in bundles The sentries threw UP
illuminating bombs at regular inter
walls, and upon discovering the ap-
proach of the enemy gave the alarm,
whereupon reinforcements ran over
the causeway. took position upon
