EXCITEMENT IN ALACHUA
Events that Led Up to the Wholesale
Lynching and the Capture of
the Principal Offender

The outbreak at Jonesville in
Alachua county was probably brought
to an end by the capture of Boisy
Long, who mortally wounded Consta-
bic S. G. Wynne, of Newberry, at
Longs home Friday morning. Long
went Saturday night to the home of
esquire" Long, an old colored preach
er, nine miles northwest of Gaines
vile. Square Long and his son very
sensibly took .Boisy" to the county
jail in Gainesville.
Wynne accompanied by DR.. Harris,
went to Longs home Friday before
daylight and put him under arrest.
Long, following the example of the
negro who shot Constable Olin at
Kendrick couple of weeks ago,
opened fire on Wynne and DR.. Harris.
wounding them both, the former NOR
tally. AS Wynne fell wounded, he
fired at Long, the bullet taking effect
but not enough to keep Long from
escaping. Wynne died Saturday night,
and the same night the people living
near the scene of the tragedy made
general cleanup of all the bad char
acters in the neighborhood. One ne
gro was shot to death and five-two
of them women-were taken from the
Newberry jail and hung to trees on
the picnic grounds at Newberry. The
clan of negroes in which Boisey
Long was leader had been great
deal of trouble to their white neigh
bors for years, and had become such
energetic thieves that the farmers in
their neighborhood had about given
up trying to raise any hogs. The ac-
tion of the old negro, Squire Long, is
bringing the murderer to the Gainess
vile jail was very unusual, very SEN
sible and can't be too highly COM
mended. Boisy Long, when captured,
had high-powered automatic pistol,
but had no cartridges, else he might
have done more damage.

MARION HAS THE MATERIAL
Should Build Its Roads, Says Port
land Representative, of Cement


land Representative, of Cement
Mr.. G. A. Beckett, representing the
National Portland Cement Associa-
tion, is at the Harrington. He says
that Marion county, having so much
material for the purpose right at
hand, should build cement roads. He
has just closed contract for four
miles of two course concrete roadways
for the town of New Smyrna. Rock
obtained in Volusia county is to be
used for the bottom course, and gran
ite rock from Georgia is to be used
for the top course of the roadways.
Lake Weir sand is being used. Mr..
Beckett says that Lake Weir sand is
recognized by engineers as compar-
ing most favorably with the famous
Ottawa sand Of the middle west. A
half mile of the New Smyrna roads
will be "a feet wide, and the rest is
feet wide. The road will be six inches
thick, and will cost $1.38 square
yard.

DIGGING DITCHEs
Real Work of War Forcibly Impressed
ON the Second Regiment

Jacksonville Metropolis, 18th)
The boys of the Second this morn
ing began digging trenches.
Not that they expect to be attack
ed, but as matter of preparedness
preparing them for such duty should
they be ordered to the border and
should, after such an order and it's
execution, trench digging became nee
essary they would be thoroughly ia
miliar with all it's details.
The entire regiment was marched
considerably north of its camp, and
to a little used portion of the reser-
vation. Trenches were staked out and
the back-breaking work started.
Regulation defensive trenches were
dug. It was not haphazard work. A
fi1st-line trench, three and half feet
deep, with earth banked in front; sup
porting trenches and communicating
trenches were started. The sun broil-
ed down and the men swung to their
work with the cheerful spirit which
has been noted every time the Second
has had to face hardship. Hundreds
of the boys had not previously made
the acquaintance of tools of excava.
ton, and, previous to mobilization
could not have stood for an hour the
strain on muscles required in ditcl
digging. However, this morning:
performance showed just what mill
tary training will do in the way o.
making men physically fit, and the
trenches grew deeper and longer un
der the steady swing of the opera
tions.

Mr.. Allen Rodgers brought to the
board of trade rooms Saturday several
specimens of the products of his farm
two miles east of town. Among these
are corn stalks fourteen feet high
with fine large ears; fourteen foot
stalks of sorghum cane, samples of
splendid ribbon cane, peanuts, etc. II
there ever was a demonstration of
what can be done on Marion county
farm the past two seasons have
brought it out, as there has been
more real farming during that period
than ever before. An the desirable
part of it all is that it has been
profitable to all who nave entered

(Associated Press)

Washington, Aug. 21.-The Senate
today voted 27 to "a to take up the
immigration bill which the democratic
caucus had agreed to postpone until
next session. Eight democrats voted
to take up the bill. The passage of
the bill, which President Wilson pre-

and some democratic senator's believe
the president won't veto it again. De-

-RESUMING THE STUDY
OF GOOD ROADS

pGSaAQd 1O1 DOI105 4O1 4OdQS, 0OAAC
have manifested a spirit that to
others may seem reactionary, among
them myself. I would vote for bonds
instanter if I could persuade myself
that in the roads built by sale of
bonds we would get our moneys
worth in roads. We buy so many
gold bricks and white elephants that
| am gun-shy.
Mr.. Peabody in the Star of the
10th offers the best solution, so far,
in his remarks regarding concrete
roads, but his estimate. of cost per
mile is vastly too high and my opin-
ion is that with the exercise of even
a modicum of inventiveness and ver-
satility we can build our roads out of
Marion county material for about one
third the price of $4,000 per mile;
that is, if we do the job as econom-
ically as any sane man would do it in
his private business.
To begin with, we have our founda-
tions already built. This lime rock
foundation is ideal for concrete, or
crushed rock as a top dress. Lime
rock roads in Florida deteriorate for
two reasons-too much rain, or not
enough.
In the first place the lime rock
roads are eroded on the slopes, and
made into mudholes in the shade; in
the other, the lime is easily thrown
into a sitting dust, and disappears,
like fond dream of prosperity.
A mighty good road can be built
out of crushed rock and "a better and
more expensive one from concrete,
but in either case the mingling of the
material is really fine art. You can
make an expensive crushed rock road
that will wear out in few years,
or you can make an inexpensive one
that will be good after we have turn
ed to dust ourselves. You can make
concrete out of sand two parts and
cement one part, that will crumble
and fall apart, or you can make con-
crete out of just the right proper
tions of coarse gravel, fine gravel and
sand, and one-seventh of cement, that
will ring like an iron bar and get
better with age It's all in knowing
how.
But there is more than that to
consider.
In laying roads for public use
some one ought TO be in control who
knows all about road material and
also knows how to make contractors
put it on when they are paid to put il
on.
There is not particle of doubt but
that for the country properly con-
structed macadam road is the cheap
est and best, provided you can get
the material close at hand. In oul
case it would seem to me wise TO find
out if our flint rock is good material
Ii it is, then buy rock crusher and
dress our lime roads with a com.
paratively thin top of rock to pre-
vent erosion.
For side streets in cities, I have
seen very good results from combi.
nation cement and rock. The center
of solid concrete about eight feei
wide, the sides of crushed rock
brought up flush with edges of con.
crete. For cities in places where
traffic is not heavy it is both chear
and effective; the center gets 90 pei
cent of the wear. I enclose clipping
from Hastings (Mich.) Journal fol
your consideration. Lester Warner.

London, Aug. 21.-Italian troops
began to disembark at Saloniki yes
terday, according to press dispatches.
Active Italian participation in the
Saloniki campaign would mean war
between Italy and Germany. 1t may
also be taken to mean the allies have
embarked on campaign of extensive
proportions in the Balkans as there
already is believed to be 100000 Brit
ish, French and Serbians on the Sa-
loniki front, where hostilities on
large scale opened last week. The
Bulgarians are aided by Germans and
some Turks and Austrians, although
IL has been indicated that many Aus
trians were sent to the Italian and
Russian fronts.
France says operations are con-
tinuing along the entire Balkan front
and Greece is reported disquieted at
the Bulgarian advance to within seven
miles of the Greek seaport of Kavala.
France announces the repulse of a
German liquid fire attack against
Fleury and reports artillery fighting
raging along the Somme front.
Russia announces additional adj
yances along the Stokhod river, and
claims the capture of 1900 prisoners
and many guns the last two days. A
delayed Austrian statement reports
several Russian repulses along Gen.
Won Hindenburg's front.
The Russians are vigorously press
ing through two of the Carpathian
passes towards Hungary, but are
meeting with stubborn resistance.
