WAITED TOO LONG
Railroad Commissioner Says the City
Did Not Move Soon Enough in
the Matter of the Union
Station

Mr.. N. A. Bitch says that the rail-
road commission was powerless and
could do nothing to stop work on the
union station or to order change OF
the station or of the Seaboard main
line tracks. He thinks that some
thing might have been accomplished
if the representatives of the city had
followed the matter up from the
start.
Mr.. Bitch, member of the commits
sion, arrived here yesterday, and has
since been in conference with Presi-
dent Nash of the council, and other
councilmen and citizens. He has point
ed out that existing laws prevented
the commission from taking any ac-
ton when a change of the site of the
station was recently taken up in coun-
Gil. With regard to the resolutions
adopted by council in condemning the
present site of the station. Mr.
Bitch says that a quorum OF the
commission was not in the Office in
Tallahassee when the copy of the
resolutions reached there, and consid-
GRAFTON had to be postponed. The
commission will, however, consider
the resolutions as soon as possible
and reply to them

CAME IN TINE TO
HELP THE CROPS
Heavy Rains of this Morning Were
More than Welcome to Farmers
of Marion County

The heavy rains which swept over
the city and county early today were
more than welcome.
"Today's rain has greatly increased
Marion county's chance for bumper
corn CROP" said r. w. Blackjack,
government demonstration agent,
when asked what he thought would
be the effect on the crops. "The rain
came in good time to furnish moisture
to make the ear, and believe that
enough water fell to make the early
planted corn, and the late planted
corn will now be able to recover from
| the effects Of the late drouth, and
another good rain in a week or so
will make that safe. 1t looks as il
the corn crop was safe all around,
therefore =
Mr.. Blackjack said that the. water
melon situation appeared much bet
ter as a result of the rain, and he
thought that the melons would be
much larger and of a better quality.
1T would be good step for the
growers" he said, Ito spray immed-
lately with Bordeaux mixture to con-
troll the anthracnose. The melons and
vines should be thoroughly sprayed.
This will help greatly to control the
rot which causes the melons to decay
in transit"
The effect on the cantaloupes, Mr..
Rlacklock believes, will be less fav-
orable, al too much rain at this stage
of the crop will cause the fruit to
ripen very rapidly and to rot. Cot
ton, peanuts, cane and the regular
| field crops will take on new life, ac-
cording to the demonstration agent.
The pastures will improve rapidly
and hogs and cattle will get good
start for early fattening.
Now is the time to put peas in the
corn middles," said Mr.. Blackjack,
and the farmer who has not planted
velvet beans or peanuts in his corn
should plant peas at the last culti-
walton. This will add greatly to next
years crop on the land. The pea has
has the ability to store nitrogen from
the air, and Prof. McQuarrie states
that the pea will also aid in saving
potash which has been taken from
the ground, where the peas will again

there is nothing to take up the potash
the chances are that it will BE washed
away by the summer rains. The same
thing is true of the other fertilizing
elements.
| "Care must be used after these
heavy rains in the cultivation of al
crops" was warning given by Mr.
Blackjack. deep blowing when the

when the ground is dry. It is best te

KNOTT is CONFIDENT

Jacksonville, June 8.-With about
1000 votes received, tabulation
shows that Cats is leading Knott for
governor by only about 800 votes.
This assures the nomination of Mr..
Knott, as he is receiving about six
second choice votes to every one re-
eeived by Cats, and the precincts to
be heard from are expected to bring
Mr.. Knott above Mr.. Cats in first
choice votes.

OF THE
TOTALLY UNFIT
Russia and Germany Thru the Med
ium of Sweden Swap Their
Human Wrecks

Stockholm, Sweden, June 8.-The
great task of exchanging wounded
prisoners between Russia and Ger
many through Sweden will be contin-
ued throughout the summer. The ex-
change applies only to those prison
ers totally unfit ever to serve again.
The transfer through Sweden is
handled entirely by the Swedish Red
Cross, or @Roda Korset,. of which
Prince Carl, brother of the king, is
the actual and active head. The Ger
man prisoners are received from the
Russians at Haparanda at the Swed-
ish-F Finnish frontier, only a few miles
south of the sweep of the Arctic
Circle. In trains specially fitted for
their use the MANNED and twisted
wrecks of men are taken south thru
the entire distance of Sweden, jour-
|ney of three nights an dtwo days, the
pace of the train being timed for the
utmost of comfort. At Trelleborg, the
southernmost part of Sweden, the one
time soldiers of the fatherland are
placed upon German hospital trans
ports for the short sail across the
southern reach of the Baltic to the
German port of Sassnitz. From there
they are taken to Hamburg and held
lin detention for one month as a
guarantee against the Importation Of
any infectious disease. This quaran-
tine period ended, the men, most of
them dependents for life, are return
! ed to their relatives and homes.
In the case of the Russian prison
ers the operation is just reversed.
They are received from the German
ships at Trelleborg and are taken to
the north through the glowing sun
shine and the mysterious nights Of
the Arctic attitudes, where soon the
days will fade one into the other with
only shadow of twilight in between
The work has began this year with
one train a week in each direction
This month the number will be in
creased to three in each direction
The trains consist Of sixteen cars and
have capacity of about 235 soldiers
When the work is fully under way
the rate of exchange will be about
1000 prisoners month. As the per-
centage of totally unfit" among the
men must be comparatively small
some idea may be gained as to the
total number of prisoners on both
sides of the Russian-German battle
line.

DEPENDS ON SECOND CHOICE

Jacksonville, June 8.-Partial and q
few complete returns from all of the
fifty-two counties, compiled at the
Evening Metropolis Office up to IL
o'clock last night, give the following
results in the race for governor:
Cats 1913, Farris 5000, Hudson
4,041, Knott 1869, Wood 3.671.
Probably twenty thousand votes are
yet to be heard from. Mr.. Knott when
seen last night expressed himself as
confident of defeating Cats through
the second choice votes from the other
candidates.

KNOTT AND CATS
ARE NECK AND NECK
SOME CHANCE THAT THE SECOND CHOICE VOTES
WILL SAVE THE STATE

The matter of engrossing interest
today is whether Knott or Cats will
receive the nomination for governor.
Cats is not far ahead of Knott on
first choice votes, and it is very likely
that the second choice ballots will put
the democratic candidate to the good.
Cats has not received more than a
third of the votes, and it is beyond
dispute that if anyone of his oppon-
ents had had the good sense and
patriotism to drop out his defeat
would have been sure.
Sheriff Galloway this morning re-
ceived a dispatch from Knott, saying
that he believed his election was GER
tain, but that his friends must be
sure to see that he did not lose any
Of his second choice vote. It is the
accepted opinion that Cats first
choice vote represents almost his en-
tire strength.
Full returns from all precincts and
summing up the second choice vote
has made no difference in the results
as announced yesterday, except in
the case of sheriff. Mr.. Galloway had
but narrow margin over his nearest
opponent, Mr.. Adams, and he stead
lily lost that on second choice votes,
until it begins to look like he will be
defeated by four or five votes-not
many, but enough.
Other returns are as follows:

The French assert the garrison

their troops still occupy the outskirts
