The evening leader. (Tarpon Springs, Fla.) 191?-19??, 1918-04-22
Olive Culture Be-
gun in Florida

/ Mr.. F. J. Zimmerman dropped into
The Leader Office this morning and
showed us a bundle of olive trees
which he had imported about a month
ago from California, planted and tend
cd until they began to bud and is now
passing them on to B. G. Smith who
will plant them.
| Mr.. Zimmerman says that there are
a great many wild olives in Florida
and it is his intention to graft fine
| California olives to the native stock,
as lie believes that by so doing he can
produce olives in abundance and of
coed quality. He remarked that there
was a large wild olive tree in front of
Mr.. H. c. Clayton's place on Spring
bayou and lot of them about Lake
Butler and other moist places.
The imported olives are the big
Manzanilla and Mr.. Zimmerman says
they are very large and luscious.
There is apparently no reason why
Florida should not produce olives and
figs as staple products. California
does so and Florida seems to be adapt
able to practically the same things.
Mr.. Zimmerman also had.a batch Of
blackberry bushes which he had graft
ed, using the native root ard imported
vines which he said We're great pro-
ducers. He also remarked that the
native wild blackberry was very fine
when cultivated He said in cultivation
the numerous new shoots which come
out should be cut back allowing only
three or four out Of forty to remain;
that in this way the bushes bore more
fruit.
We have all read in the Good Book
about the Gland of milk and honey"
and many think Florida is that land
the promised land, as it were, All that
is lacking is it's development, and that
is fast coming.
When Florida comes, into it's own it
will be a garden from the Atlantic
to the gulf, filed with fruits of all
descriptions, including the olive, the
fig and the pomegranate, while its
vast prairies will be dotted with great
herds of cattle; honey bees will be
everywhere, for the forests will be
alive with bloom of every kind. Then
will Florida be the land of milk and
honey in fact and not in promise.

peace with the Bey of i giers.
With the consul aboard his ship, De
catur decided not to await the arrival
of cambridge, and forced the Bey to
sign the treaty that provided that no
more tributes be paid by the United
States, no Americans be enslaved, and
all American vessels be treated hos
pitably and their wants relieved in
any Algerian port. Decatur then pro-
ceeded to visit the other Rarbary pow
ers and forced them to sign like
treaties.
Commodore Decatur's brilliant ca
reer was ended in a duel with James
Barron, a former naval officer, whose
reinstatement he had fought. Decatur
refused to shoot to kill Barron, who
sent fatal bullet into the commo-
dore. The duel took place near Wash
ington, March %, 1920. AS he lay
on the field of death Decatur exclain-
ed:
Il am mortally wounded, at least I

to the dark harbor. They passed the
battery, gained the side of the Phila-
delphia, and in the language of the
Tripolitans asked the officer of the
captured ship for permission to run
hawser to the frigate, as they had
lost their anchors in the storm.
Decatur quietly ordered a boat man.
ned to carry the hawser to the frigate.
: boat from the Philadelphia was sent
cut to help them, end soon brought
the Intrepid alongside the Philadel-
rhia. Suddenly they were discovered
and a cry went up, "Americancs."
Decatur's order Board" rang out,
and with Lieutenant Morris he leaped
upon the deck of the Philadelphia.
The crew, each armed with cutIass and
pistol, followed and the Tripolitan
crew, panic stricken, leaped over
board.
Within a few minutes the Philadel-
phia was q. blaze of fire. Decatur was
the last to leave the frigate and
swung from the rail into the rigging
of the Intrepid as she veered off to es-
cape, The shore batteries and gun
boats opened fire, but only one shot
struck the ship. No lives were lost and
only four men were wounded.
Lord Nelson, then commanding the
English feet off Toulon, declared the
exploit as "the most bold and daring
act of the age"
For this gallant achievement Deca-
tur was made post-captain, and in the
attack on Tripoli in the spring of
1906 was given command Of one divis-
ion of gunboats loaned by the, King of
Naples.
| AS Decatur led his division under
the fire Of the batteries Commodore
( Preble, fearing he could not stand
such fire, attempted to order him to
withdraw, but found no signal fer that
order in the code. Therefore Decatur
continued to meet the enemy gun
boats. He captured his first adverse
ry with but little fighting, and was
about to carry off his prize when he
learned that his brother, Lieutenant
James Decatur, had been treacherous-
ly killed by the captain of a boat who,
after striking his flag to the Amer
can, shot his captor as he stepped
aboard his prize.
Captain Decatur, finding that TIE
cowardly Turk had escaped with his
gunboat pushed farther within the en-

! Decatur succeeded in getting both
his prizes to the squadron.
Decatur's next engagement of note
was in the war of 1912, when, in COM
nand CT the frigate United States,
he fought and captured the Macedo-
.iian, 81 guns, Captain Garden. De-
Eeatur's superior skill in maneuvering
/ MS ship ended the battle with eompar-
atively little damage and only four
killed and seven wounded, while the
Macedonian's masts were al shot
away, she had one hundred round shot
IN her hull, and. lost 3G lIilied and -G3
wounded.
Decatur refused to take Captain
Gardens sword, saying he would rath-
er take NJ hard OF so brave an officer.
Decatur conveyed his prize to New
port through seas swalming with
British ships. Decatur then went to
sea in the President, and fell in with
British feet. Seeing that escape
IVES impossible, he decided to give bal
tie to the most formidable Of the fl aet
IN the hopes of later escaping. After
hot engagement in which he serious
ly damaged his opponent Decatur
made sail, hoping for thick weather.
However, two of the enemy outdis-
tanced him, and rather than sacrifice
the lives of his crew he surrendered.
After the battle it was found he
had struck the frigate Majestic, that
he had badly whipped the Endymion,
DO guns, and that the other two in
the fleet were the Pomone, 38 guns,
and the Tenedos, SO guns.
l, Decatur was paroled and arrived
at New London, February %, 1915
He was acclaimed hero and placed
In a carriage and driven through the
streets by the people. On the declara-
lion of war with the Barbary powers
in 1915 Decatur commanded ore di-

emy's lines apd reached the vessel at
the head of eleven Americans, all of
the crew he had left after manning his
prize. For twenty minutes the con-
test was doubtful, and all of the Am
orleans were by now severely wound
ed. Decatur ordered the captain left
for him. The Turk was armed with
an espatoon, Decatur with a cutlass,
and in attempting to cut off the head
of his antagonists weapon, his sword
was broken off close to the hilt..
As the Turk closed on him, Decatur,
slightly wounded, grappled with him
and they fell to the deck, Decatur on
top. As the Turk drew a dagger De-
catur shot him dead. In the mean
time the crews, coming to the assist
ance of their commanders, engaged in
death struggle and when Decatur
attempted to rise he found himself
pinned down by the dead sailors. One
of the enemy crew, seeing an opening
in the fighting mass, raised his sword
to cleave the skull of the American
officer. AS the sword swept down
ward another head was showed in it's
course, and Decatur having time to
get his revolver clear, shot the Tripod
itan.
The hero that interposed his own
head to save the life of Decatur was
Reuben James, red-headed, freckle-
faced youngster who had been with
Decatur in the destruction of the Phil
adelphia, and who loved his command
er with a sort of slavelike devotion.
In the fighting with the crew of the
ship commanded by the treacherous
Turk, young James had one arm disa-
bed by pistol shot. He then armed
himself with pike, and soon the 9TH
er arm was disabled from a sabre
blow.
1t was in this condition, with both
arms useless, that he saw his captain
endangered, and interposed his own
head to save Decatur. Strange to say
the blow did no more injury than to
cut a deep cash in his head. James
lived many years after his captain met
death in 1920 in duel.

Initiative Won the Man Plaudits
His Name to be Revived Now
ISSUED BY THE NAVY LEAGUE)


'Our Country! In her intercourse
with foreign nations may she always
be right; but Our Country, right or
wrong"
This toast, given in Norfolk, Va,
in April, 1915, by Stephen Decatur,
was the keynote Of an ideal that made
him one of the most famed characters
IN naval history. Decatur's career was
filled to overlooking with remarkable
deeds that rang loud with bravery, an
absolute disregard of personal safety,
and a cleverness and ingenuity that
invariably resulted in notable victo-
ries. Decatur was born in TITO and
entered the navy as a midshipman in
1898. Five years later began career
that made the young officer a perma-
nent place in the front rank of his
tory.
Ordered to the Mediterranean to join
Commodore Preble's squadron, Deca-
tur took command as a lieutenant of
the Enterprise and proceeded to SYRIA
cuse. There he learned that the frig-
ate Philadelphia, commanded by Cap
tain cambridge, had run ashore in the
harbor of Tripoli and had been captur-
ed by the Tripolitans.
Commodore Preble determined to de-
stroy the Philadelphia as she lay at
anchor, having been refoated by the
Tripolitans. Lieutenant Decatur vol
unteerod his services to command this
daring expedition. He disguised the
Intrepid, which he had captured from
the enemy, and accompanied by the
Siren, Lieutenant Charles Stewart, as
support and to cover his retreat,
made the venture with a volunteer
crew of seventy men.
The Philadelphia was protected by
guns from the pasha's castle, by the
neighboring forts, and was surround
ed by the enemy's fiotilla. The Phil
adelphia was frigate of "A guns,
but her armament had ben destroyed
by Captain cambridge before her cap
ture.
In the little Intrepid, which mounted
only four guns, Decatur, with his crew
disguised with Maltese caps, crept in

This is no time for strikes. Such
things must come with peace.
The benefits of laws are felt most
by those who never need them.
People with pro-German tendencies
had better hunt their holes.
Czernin let the cat out of the bag
about the peace negotiations and adj
mits that the French left the Austrian
representatives, and then tries to
make it appear that the French sought
terms.
Since the beginning of the war Nor
way has lost 745 vessels, of 1,101 ,815
tons, in the destruction of which 986
seamen have lost their lives. Fifty
three other ships are missing with
about 700 men on them.
1t would be fair proposition and
one that we favor-to make the men
who do not fight pay for the war. Our
government only asks them to lend
money, however, and not give it, which
should be readily agreed to.
The evening leader. (Tarpon Springs, Fla.) 191?-19??, 1918-04-22
NO CAUSE FOR WORRY.

The telegraph news today says that
President Wilson believes the Cham
berlain bill which would try violators
of the sedition law by courtmartial, to
be unconstitutional.
We trust the president will not let
the constitution operate to save trait
ors. Look up the constitutionality of
the act after the war is over.
Good traitors are dead traitors. Why
not make all of them good traitors
without unnecessary delay?
Who was it said: "What is the con-
stitution between friends ?"

believe so, and wish | had fallen in
defense of my country"
Of the forty-two years of his life
twenty-five had been spent in the ma
val service of his country. And
throughout that career his record had
been one of splendid achievement,
daring and an intense love of country.
His name is even now, almost acen-
fury after his death, on the rolls of
the navy department, and in service
in the world conflict is a destPyer
that bears his name. Deeds as lhroic
as those that were recorded opp@ite
his name will be performed in he
