AUTO UPSET

Messrs. A. P. Stueky. A. C. Coody
and S. S. Savage Jr. on the way to
Tampa in an auto, Coody at the
wheel, gliding along five miles north
of Kissimmee, at about forty knots
per, struck 120 degrees curve.
When the clouds had rolled away. all
three were pinned under the car,
whose rollers were still spinning
away up in the air and the weight Of
the inverted car resting on Coody's
ankle and Stucky's thigh. Savage was
the first to extricate himself, tho
pretty badly shook up. and he aided
Coody to extricate himself with
badly bruisd ankle. Help had to be
called to remove the car off of Mr..
Stucky, whose thigh had a cash in it
that required twenty stitches by a
Kissimmee surgeon. The Dodge also
had to go in the hospital; crushed
wheel, top. steering wheel, windshield,
etc. Two hundred dollars will make
it look like Dodge again. When they
were told that a car had turned
turtle at the same place a few weeks
since and pinned two men under it,
drowning them in the water in the
ditch.alongside, they considered them
selves fortunate in getting by so
easy.

supper. Two thick boards on sup
ports in the cabin formed "buffet," i"
and strong as it was it occasionally
grunted with the load on it. The load
was lightened, however, soon after
the crowd arrived. There was a wash
tub full of purlo, another tub of salad,
sandwiches, pickles and coffee galore.
There was enough for everybody and
then some.
After supper, DR.. Henry, president
of the club, using the platform of Pat
RandalPs warehouse as a rostrum,
called the crowd to order, and asked
for speeches. The call was responded
to by Judge Bullock, Messrs. Burford,
Duval, Lou Green and several others
we can't remember. Didn't any of
them say anything much anyhow, but
the crowd was in just the right humor
to be amused at anything. Some of
them tried to catch Pat Randall's little
pigs, that came around shifting at
their ankles in friendly fashion. We
asked one man what he would do with
a pig if he caught it. He said he
would take it home for his little girl
to play with. He must have forgot
ten that his little girl and her mama
were several hundred miles to the
north, with no intention of returning
home for several weeks.
One talk, however, made by Mr.. P.
S. Van Valkenburgu secretary of the
Florida Motorist, of Orlando, was
full of information and encourage
ment, and was heartily received.
Shortly after nine o'clock, the boats
were manned and were soon gliding
swiftly homeward. The trip up the
river was very pleasant. and if there
had been a poet in the crowd he could
have written forty Slime verses about
It.
The crowd on the Silver Springs,
however, was sore because c. A. Ire
mere had slipped away from them
and signed up with the City ofiOcala
bunch. So they arranged a frame-up,
and as soon as R. S. Rogers stepped
of the City of Ocala they swarmed
around him, cut him off from his
friends, took him to a distant and
lonely spot on the Silver Springs
strand, where there was nobody near
er to him than ten yards, and proceed
ed to try him for kidnapping, abduc-
ton and two or three other things we
do not remember. John L. Edwards
acted as Judge. Some of Rogers
friends succeeded in getting near
enough to him to insist on his having
counsel, but it was of no avail; the
jury was packed and Rogers was
found guilty and sentenced to serve
as secretary of the Ocala Motor Club
for year.
After this, everybody shook hands
with everybody else, and all came
home, declaring they had had the
redmark evening of the year.
In recording these proceedings we
have favored the crowd we were with
on the City of Ocala. They have
threatened to do things to US if we
didn't We don't know what the other
bunch may do to US, but shall watch
them closely.

Weekly Cotton Review

New York; January 3.--Early week ad< vances were followed by sharp reactions in the cotton market after the New Years Day adjournment Pre-holiday buyers seemed to have been influenced by an idea that the turn of the year you'd bring in an expanding trade de- mand. Evidently this failed to materal- ze in the expected proportions and prices weakened under realizing or liquidation.
 March contracts which had sold at 29c on Monday broke to 2725c today com pared with 2S.o2c at the close of the pre- vious Friday and B COG the low level of last month,
 There has been TO special news feature connected with the decline so far as in- dicated by the talk around the ring.
 A few January notices have been is- sued and there were reports today that cotton was heading in this direction for delivery.
 This probably caused some scattering near month liquidation, but the January premium over March has been fairly well maintained. and it is rumored that Jap anese interests who took up some cot ton on December, are prepared to &C., cept QeitNeTleS on J3nudTN cOnETaclS diSO. This talk is connected with reports that several fast steamers had been assigned to sail between New York and the orient by way of the Panama canal and also with reports that a Japanese firm has leased local warehouse for cotton.
 Further rains and rather severe weath. e, has been reported in the south, ac- 'companed by claims that all unpicked cotton had been virtually ruined At the same time the wet weather is supposed to be putting a better season In the ground than there has been for three or four years and in this way encourages more optimistic view of coming crop possibilities.
 Reports that potash is to be sent here from Alsace and that the United States government is prepared to sell large quantities of nitrate for fertilizer, have operated in the same direction. |, On the other hand. clearances for the week have been larger, and a good part Of the buying on declines has been at- tributed to trade interests.
