Mexican Pompano

Four st. Petersburg gentlemen
went out fishing ON the 18th inst,
and, using hook and line with
crabs as bait, caught sixteen pom
PIANO averaging twenty i've
pounds each.
Now as pompano are the finest
marine food fish in southern wa
tiers and those shipped to northern
markets rarely weigh over two or
three pounds, and, further, as it is
believed that they cannot be
caught with hook and line, it may
be well to state that the fish
caught by the st. Petersburg gen
tlemen are what are known as
Mexican pompano, a variety that
is inferior in flavor to what may
be called the Florida pompano.
Punta Gorda fishermen have
caught specimens of the Mexican
variety that weighed as much as
thirty pounds each, and they were
shipped north, frozen, and placed
as advertisements in the show
windows of fish markets. These
big pompano do not bring the fan
cy prices commanded by the small
variety.

Candidates Robbed

The following appears in the
Pensacola Journal of July 18th
inst.
"The clerk of the circuit court
was authorized to refund the can
didates in the June primary 40
per cent of the amount paid III
fees, by action of the board of
county commissioners last night.
"After the board was shown
that 81, 100 was held by the county
over and above the expense of
holding the election, the clerk was
ordered to pay back to the candi-
dates proportionate amount paid
in. The money can be had upon
application to the clerk of the
court. "
This is one of the most surpris-
ing things that have occurred in
Florida since the introduction of
the primary system of nominating
candidates. County executive
committees usually appropriate
to their own use all balances left
over after all necessary expenses
of the primary have been paid.
Rarely has any county committee
ever made a pro rata distribution
of the surplus fund amongst the
candidates. The committees here.
tofore have invariably charged e.
nough for their services, hotel
bills and travelling expenses, tc
wipe out any surplus.
The Dade county committee
this year, is holding the surplus t
aid in the election of Brothe,
Cats, regardless of whether cour
decisions and re-counts show MI
Cats to be the legal nominee o
not. This act is somewhat bette
than dividing the surplus anon
the members of the committee.
Even the state of Florid;
through its progressive" ele,
ton laws, connives at this robber
of candidates and participates
it. For filing fees and for adve
Using in that ridiculous campaig
book, the candidates in the Jun
primary must have paid to Il
secretary of state twice as mus
as the cost of the book, the ballo
and other necessary expenses
mounted to. As is known, the
were many candidates for offic
) to be voted for all over the sta
; and in the four congressional al
: and eleven circuit court distric
5 and the amount of fees paid
: them must have been twice
, much as the cost of holding the
2 lection.

Golden Opportunities Here

Twenty-three crates OF the COM
mon varieties Of mangoes were re-
Gently shipped to Chicago from
the Thos. A. Edison home place IN
Fort Myers and brought the ship
per $4,000. There are hundreds
of mango trees in Punta Gorda,
practically all of them OF volut-
teer growth, and they bear big
crops which go to waste. A small
portion of the fruit finds local
sale at ten cents dozen, none IS
shipped abroad.
Fruit of the fancy varieties OF
mangoes, such as the Mulgoba
and the Alphonso, sells in Fort
Myers and Miami at fifteen to
twenty five cents apiece. At this
rate one volunteer tree OF the
common variety at The Herald ed
itor's home, if it were an Alphon-
so, would yield fifty dollars worth
of fruit Fifty trees can be plan
ed on one acre. The conclusion
is that an acre in fancy mangoes
would support a small family.
There is also the avocado, other
wise the alligator pear, which
grows here as a volunteer and
fourishes without cultivation.
Fancy varieties of this fruit sell
for as much as the fancy varlties
of the mango. An acre in fancy
avocadoes should easily net the
owner a thousand dollars a year.
Take Strawberries here is one
man s experience j. M. Driver
set out $500 plants, which occu-
pied one-eighth of an acre. He
gave them scientific cultivation
and sold the crop right here in
Punta Gorda for $155.000. This
was at the rate of over 81, 10000
an acre. But, mind you, Mr.. Driv-
er has sub-irrigation and is an ex-
perienced, scientific strawberry
grower.
AS to irrigation, there 10 no
problem at all; flowing artesian
wells can be had on any spot, and
no pumping is required. The soil
is really better than that at Lake
land and Plant City, and the inn
munity from frosts which this To-
cality enjoys enables our growers
to have strawberries on the mar
ket every day from Thanksgiv-
ing until the following May.
The same advantages are offer
ed for growing all kinds of vege-
tables; and the trucker who un-
derstands his business and will di-
versify his crops, can ship vege-
tables al through the winter and
depend upon making money.
The foregoing are only few of
the golden opportunities present
ed here for success. Good judg-
ment, industry and persistence
are all that are required to make
Punta Gorda soil yield generous
income.

Abolish the Legislature

The Arcadia News of last Fri
day devotes considerable space t.
recounting what foolish things
are done by every legislature in
biennial meetings and it seems to
conclude that the remedy lies in
having annual sessions and retain.
ing the same members long G
nough for them to acquire exper.
fence. But a gang of one hun
dred men, of whom sixty are in
competent, will never improve
from experience; and the oftener
they meet, the more follies and
deviltry will they commit. The
Herald, therefore, urges that the
legislature be abolished, that a
constitutional amendment to this
end be submitted to a vote of the
people and that the state be gov
erned by a commission elected for
seven years. The adoption at
the same time Of the initiative and
referendum would enable the peo-
pie to repeal all foolish and vici-
Gus laws and secure the enact
ment of wise ones.
We would have the commission
composed Of one member from
each congressional district, this
group, for reasons given in the u
nited States constitution, to be
known as the house of represen-
tatives. The state administrative
officers, otherwise the COVER
nor's cabinet, should be the SEN
ate. This scheme would doubt
less preserve the republican form
of government, which is guaran-
teed to each state.
Aspirants for membership in Ell
Their body should be required to
undergo a civil service examina-
ton before being permitted to be-
come candidates.
If the people think they need a
certain law, let them petition the
commission to order an election
to decide whether the law should
be enacted or not, and if the de-
cision is favorable, let the com.
mission put it through a course OF
formal enactment, subject to tho
approval of the governor.
The commissioner fact, all thu
officers of government, both state
and federal, should be chosen fol
seven years so as to remove az
far as possible the temptation t
build political machines and, a.
the same time, give the officials
time to acquire the necessary ex
perience.
The foregoing are only sugges
tions, which may be improved up
on by wiser writer's. Certainly
the scheme proposed cannot MAKE
matters any worse than our pres
ent legislatures do. ANY ole
thing" would be an improvement
upon the governmental conditions
under which the state has beer
suffering for years, a fact that Il
proved by the numerous counts
in the indictment which the Area
dia News brings against past leg
islatures.
Of course, and it is sad to state
no legislature can be trusted to a
bolish itself, and the only way t.
get rid of the nuisance seems to b
by the Cromwellian method.
Fact is, when we reflect upol
the misdeeds of the legislatures o
the past dozen or more years, W
cannot help but feel revolution

Buffalo, Aug. 30.-Newark had the
Bisons and their friends frightened to-
day. The visitors came so near win
ming there was no fun in it. The
Bisons gave the young college pitcher,
Charles Anderson, good margin TO
work on. but Newark got to him for
some sound smashes in the eighth,
which, with passes and one muffed fly.
gave them four runs, and placed them
on even terms in the run column at six
apiece.
Jack Enright was easily found by the
Bisons wnen they went after him. They
settled the ownership of the third game
in short order in their final trip to the
plate. Kopp hit for two bags, was sent
along 70 third on Carlstrom's beaten
bunt and home with the winning run
when Hummel's sacrifice flied to Ritter
in deep centre.
Captain CHANNEL scored two ahead OF
him when ne made the circuit of the
diamond in the fifth. Onslow was busy
with the stick. too.
John Tuman, formerly Of the Green's

day in place OF Jackson, who was
slightly injured yesterday.
