Public Enterprises and
Business Competition.

The people of Mariana are to be
congratulated on the $4,000 govern
ment building to be erected in that
city, which project has been so sue
cessfully pushed by the Boosters
club of the thriving Jackson county
metropolis.
The appropriation for the build
ing was granted by congress a year
or more ago, but the site desired by
the government could not be procured
at that time for the price the depart
rnent was willing to pay, and it
seemed as though Mariana would lose
the opportunity of securing the build
ing, but the people rallied together,
sent a representative to Washington
with instructions to get the building,
which instructions he followed with
such effect that the new postoffice
and court house are assured.
Mariana has gone through just
what other cities go through when
any public work is attempted.
But if the community profits more
than the individual, which it must do
in any important public work, the in
direct benefit must be felt by every
citizen of the community. The bene-
fits which accrue from any public
work are such as can hardly be meas
ured in the dollars and cents put into
the property values or paid for work
men and wages. Thes benefits come
as result of the increased prestige
any civic improvements lend to a
community, and the added value they
give to all properties in the city.

LARGE SHIPMENT

THE RUSSIAN BARK MARLBoR-
OUCH HILL CLEARED FOR
LIVERPOOL WITH VALUABLE
CONSIGNMENT OF RoSIN.

Part of the cargo of the immense
Russian bark Marlborough Hill, which
was cleared for Liverpool yesterday,
consists Of 6,317 barrels of rosin, this
consignment being in addition to the
100000 superficial feet of timber
and lumber, already loaded and clear
ed by the big craft.
The lot on the Marlborough Hill,
added to those shipments earlier in
the month Of February already
brings the exports of rosin alone up
to 23,902 barrels, the greater part Of
which went out on sailing vessels.
There are other shipments to be made,
but none of them will probably be
cleared for the next ten days, but al
ready the February exports of naval
stores exceed those of many a pre-
vious month.
The big Russian bark hauled into
the stream yesterday and viii prob

was stated yesterday that the bark's

such figures. 80.

not only kills all ticks it touches but
lasts several days as a preventive
to their attaching themselves to the
animals. Spraying with a multiplicity
of nozzles arranged at different an
giles is so much simpler and easier
than the dipping process, especially

it much preferable and there is no

The year 1892 brought the season In
which choice was once more to be made
Of a President, and other matters wait
ed a little until the choice should be
certainly known.
A novel variety was lent to the field
Of contest by the entrance Of new
party.
In 1926 one William Morgan. of north
western New Yor... had advertised a
book which should make known the Sc
crets of Freemasonry, and had been kid
mapped and was never seen again.
Popular indignation had fixed upon the
society Of Freemasons itself as respon-
stble for the crime, and an anti-Masonic

public trust
It had spread with surprising stir and
persistency from State to State, and in
September 1881. 1t summoned a national
convention of its partisans to display its
strength and name candidates Of its own
for the Presidency and Vice Presidency
The regular parties followed its cue.
They also chose delegates out of the sew
eral States to meet in nominating con-
yentions and put their candidates in the
field by formal vote.
2 The National Republicans nominated
MT. Clay, now leader OF the Senate and
unquestioned leader of the party.
The Democrats nominated Gen. Jack
SON, as of course, for a second term.
and with him, for Vice President, not
Mr.. Calhoun, but his own chosen lieu
tenant, Mr.. Martin Van Buren,.
The vote of the electors was decisive,
as before. But six States voted for Mr..
Clay (MassAchusetts, Rhode Island, Con-

WILL MAKE CALLS ON
CHURCH MEMBERS

We are engaged in a work which
is of interest TO every member of the
First Methodist church, and we are
making a very earnest request for ev-
cry member of this church to remain
at home Sunday evening, February
20, until you have been visited by a
delegation from the church.
1t is our purpose to visit every
member of this church on above stated
date, and we earnestly hope that no
member will so lightly regard our
request, or care so little for the work
of the Master, as not to comply with
our request.
No long calls viii be made, but we
purpose to visit every member of this
church. Please be at your home until
a delegation calls on you. This is the
request of the pastor and the Off
Gals of the church.

Make West Florida
Feed Itself.

at home. The south sends one mil
lion dollars away for food and feed;
we cannot send our money away and
have e."
This was brought out IN the lecture
on diversified farming held at the San
Carlos on Thursday evening.
Of the entire area of Florida there
are only about 100000 acres in
farms and under farming control.
There are not less than 100000
acres that can be used to greater or
less extent for forage production or
grazing purposes for live stock. This
goes to show that Florida has within
her boundaries the greatest grazing
region east Of the Mississippi river,
and practically an unlimited capacity
to produce forage crops to supply the
live stosk which should be raised
upon 1t.
The number of live stock of all
kinds in the state is about 2,000,-
900 in round numbers, and the value
of these is about $25, 100000. Instead
of this small number, agricultural ex-
perts estimate that there should be
not less than 100000 of live stock
raised in Florida, In which case the
value instead Of being $25,0o0,000
should be $3.50, 0o0,0o0 to $500, GOO, 100.
The commissioner of agriculture es-
timated that the number of cattle on
hand in Florida on the first of July,
1912, when the last report was made,
was sos. At the same time the
number of hogs in the state of all
ages was SCI, 437. Sheep of all
ages 114,501.
The aggregate acreage in grain
crops for feed was 642,942 and the
yield in bushels of grain and feed
stuffs, which included peanuts and
sweet potatoes used for stock feed,
was 10,644,240 bushels. The total
acreage in forage crops of all kinds
was les, 1856. The yield in tons of
forage, according to the state commits
sioner OF agriculture, was 77,340
tons, including of corse hay of all
kinds. AS an average value of $50
per ton is said to be conservative
figure as to value, it shows forage
crops of more than three and a half
billion dollars.
With intensive farming and cattle
tick eradication, these figures should
easily be doubled, within the next few
years, and Florida literally feed tt
self, raising all the cattle and grain
stuffs needed in the state, and sur
plus for export as well.

Hudson Strong Man

not for that reason underrate the
other candidates in the race Farris,
Wood and Knott are men of recog-

voters Of Florida and we find it a
well-constructed argument in behalf
of the several planks of his platform.
