UneomprOmising Position

London, Aug. 2s.-The British gov
ernment's peace proposal was laid be-
fore the Irish republican parliament
which rejected them unanimously, but
is willing TO negotiate on the princi-
pie of government by the consent of
the governed, Eamon de Valera says
in his reply to Lloyd George.
The letter proposes that Great Brit
ain and Ireland appoint representa-
tives with Dlenary powers to negotiate
the details on this principle. I'VE have
not sought war, nor do we seek war,
but if war be made upon US we must
defend ourselves and we shall do so, -

PLANTING TIME NOW
FOR IRISH POTATOES
tAssociated Fressl

Gainesville, Aug. 26.-Fall crops of
Irish potatoes should be planted not
later than Sept. 1st, according to Prof.
w. L. Floyd, of the Florida Agricul-
tural College, who says that planters
should not expect as large yield as
in the spring. Fifty bushels to an
acre may be reasonably expected, he
says.
Small whole potatoes of the spring
crop should be used for seed, accord
ing to Prof. Floyd Best results can
be obtained in sprouting the potatoes
by placing them in moist ground in
a shaded place at least two weeks be-
fore planting. Only those that sprout
well should be planted, he says, be-
cause all potatoes will not germinate
readily.
The soil in which the seed are laid
out should be moist, well supplied
with humus, broken deeply and treat
ed literally with fertilizer containing
per cent ammonia, G per cent phos-
phoric acid and 6 per cent potash
The seeds should be dropped further
apart than spring potatoes, according
to Prof. Floyd, as they require much
moisture and October and November
are often dry months.

The immediate curriculum deals with
that phase Of the city ordinance pro-
hibiting heavy vehicles from travel

Judge Beckham's methods in i'm
pressing the city's doctrines upon re

from those of the old fashioned peda.
gogue, in that he is inclined toward
fines ranging from 81 to SIS instead
of using a ruler while those kept

while in the city Jail. In fact, mos
of the violators fail to recognize the
prescribed punishment as that com.
ing from a teacher, but Judge Beck

ACCIDENT ON THE
SEABOARD AIRLINE
Northbound Passenger Train this
Morning Ran Into Freight-Track
Blocked and Several Trainmen and
Passengers Injured.

The northbound S. A. L. passenger
train due here at 2:10 this morning,
ran head-on into an s. A. L. freight
train, the freight standing on the
sharp curve about half mile south
of the crossing of the DunneIIon road
with the s. A. L. tracks.
It seems the air gave out on the
freight just before it reached town,
both trains being headed north, and
the train crew stopped there to await
repairs. The fagman walked to San
tos and tagged the northbound pas
senger, which picked him up and he
came on with the train. Notwith-
standing this fact, however, the pas
senger ran into the rear end of the
freight, telescoping the caboose and
smashing it into kindling wood The
freight car next to the caboose was
totally demolished and the third car,
which was partly filed with local
freight, was derailed and badly dam
aged, but hung up on the lower side
Of the rails, The engine of the pas
senger train is yet on the rails. but is
badly damaged about the front, and
the baggage and express cars back of
it were somewhat scratched and torn,
but were able to resume their journey
The passengers were badly shaken
up, some bruises were sustained and
few slight cuts resulted from broken
glass as many windows were shatter-
ed in both day coashes and sleepers.
The engineer and fireman jumped and
while both were badly shaken up and
bruised neither was seriously hurt.
The sand on the tracks and the
marks left by dragging wheels indi-
cate that the engineer on the passen-
ger must have applied his air and
turned on the sand at the same time,
full 300 yards before his engine hit
the caboose, indicating considerable
speed. Why, with lights out. as indi-
Gated by the burned fuses, and the
fiagman of the freight riding with
him, he should strike the train is a
mystery. He must have thought It
considerably nearer town than it. was,
and the curve was so short and the
hammock growth so dense on both
sides that he could not see very far
ahead.
The passenger train was diverted
back to Leesburg and came to 0cala
on the A. G. L. tracks, an engine and
tender having first been secured
There is no connection between the
two railroads south of town, as is
the case north of the city, hence the
long run back to get on the rails OF
the other road, only few hundred
yards distant from the scene of the
wreck.
The track was cleared this after
noon in time for the limited to pass.
