AS Viewed from Havana

The Daily News a live newspa-
per published in Havana, Cuba,
gives its readers the following re-
port of the gubernatorial contest {:
"They are having a hard time
to decide on the gubernatorial
nominee over in Florida. A min
ister of the gospel who had not
lived in the state very long had
announced his candidacy and ran
on an anti-Catholic ticket. He
went about through the country
and preached the terrors of the
Catholic religion and made many
believe that the Pope was coming
right here to Florida and estab-
lish the vatican there and take
control of the state as he control
ed Italy and some of the other Eu-
ropean countries. He received an
apparent plurality, but through
the technicalities of the primary
law he has been declared defeated
by the state supreme court. The
curious part of it is, his opponent
is not Catholic, there has been
no effort on the part of the church
to foist a candidate on the people
or to control state politics.

aid Much has been said and
written of the Cats Knott contro-

the case of elections, every one

In the settlement of nominations,
every one should, of necessity,

Burning Trash From Fields Makes
Poor Land

The easiest way to get rid of
trash and crop remains is by fire.
This is also the easiest means of
destroying the fertility of the
land. Florida soils need the or
ganic matter which this rubbish
will supply. In most cases this
material will not increase the fer
tility when it is returned to the
soil on which it grew. 1t will
merely tend to maintain that fer
tility. If it is burned, most of the
plant food will be lost and the
farmer will have nothing but poor
land to show for the crop which
produced the material.
S. S. Walker, associate chemist
to the University of Florida Ex-
pertinent Station, cites another
important office Of the organic
matter. This material furnishes
food upon which the beneficial
organisms live. They not only
break down the organic matter in
their feeding processes, but they
aid materially in liberating other
plant foods from the mineral con-
stituents of the soil, Organic mat
ter is necessary to these reducing
processes.

Talking of Town Politics

The near approach of the town
election has set some citizens to
talking about the offices soon to
become vacant. The officials to
be chosen are a mayor, three coun-
cilmen, marshal, treasurer, clerk
and assessor.
Thus far the street talk favors
the reelection of Ed. Smith for
mayor, j. H. Lipscomb for mar
shall, l.. +. Robinson for clerk and
E. w. Rountree for treasurer.
The terms of Aldermen Silcox,
Trabue and Fries are expiring.
Waltmire and Whitten hold over.
AS successors to the three men
who retire, the following are
spoken of: R. C. Blount, r. G..
Crosland, Harry Bolts and r. Il.
Doty.

Confederate Veterans Re- Union

Tampa, Oct. 9.-Tampans are
making elaborate preparations for
the entertainment of Confederate
veterans of Florida, who will hold
their annual reunion in the city
OctoberS17 to 10, inclusive, and a
large attendance of veterans and
visitors generally is expected.
The railroad rate offered for the
round trip from all sections of the
state is one fare plus Is cents,
with liberal time limit.
This will be one of the last re-
unions held by the veterans, many
of whom have grown too old to
attend, by reason of which Tampa
invites all lovers of the "old
cause" to join in paying them tri
butte. Union veterans also will
participate in the reunion, fea-
ture of which will be "Blue and
Gray" barbecue.

Fishermen coming in to this
port last Friday, report that they
saw millions of dead pig-fish float
ing in from the Gulf all the way
from Carlos Bay to Cape Haze. A
few dead grouper were observed,
but no mullet or other kind of fish.
The fishermen are at a loss to ae-
count for the phenomenon, but
some of them have an idea that
the fish were killed by the sudden
out-burst of a submarine volcano.

Already the engineer in charge

prepared to make meteorological

Official London Does Not Expect

LONDON, July 21.-oflcial circles are
unperturbed by American criticism of the
British statutory list, as a certain amount
of protest was expected.
1t is not anticipated that any real con-
troversy will arise, because the question has
already been argued and official notes ex-
changed by the British and American Gov
ernments. No one here expects that the
Washington Government will seriously
argue that any nation Is not legally en-
powered to put a specific prohibition upon
its own nationals in time of war.
Tho bltterest protests emanate from

that the list is not sufficiently extensive

AS far as general opinion goes, II Is felt
here that the Government has a perfect
moral right 10 take such a course at time

while as far as the internal dislocation of

here that the volume OF business actually
affected is so slight as hardly to cause
