tanned by climbing to the top or cut
ting down the tree. So far as we are
concerned, the palmetto cabbage need
not worry for its safety.
Last Sunday on the way to Lake
Weir we noticed group of men .snr-
rounding a tree at the edge of the
road. Denuded of it's leaves, it stood
gray and bare. Its trunk had been
newly blazed. The gaze of some of
the men was directed at broken limb
that protruded horizontally ten feet
above the ground. One man was Dig
ging with jacknife into the bark. A
moment later he extracted fattened
chunk of lead. Souvenir we in
ouired. "Yep," he answered -
We had been told that at this spot
just few hours previously beast in
the form of a man had expiated, un-
der the decree of an unwritten law,
an unnamable crime against an aged
and helpless woman.
To us the brief dialogue quoted
above closed the incident, yet when
we returned to our abiding place we
recalled a passage from a book bear
ing the title Roaming Through the
West Indies," with which we had be-
guided the hours on the three-day
steamship voyage. It's author, Harry
&c. Franch, a northerner-evidently,
like ourself, stranger in Dixie-in
tracing his progress through the
southern states on his way to the
Caribbean, has this to say in the first
chapter:
"On certain burning question even
the most open-minded sons of the
South were of the prevailing opinion.
Whatever the North may think,
said one of this class, we are forced
tc hold the fear of lynching constantly
over the negro. In the North you are
having far more trouble with them
than we. And why? Because you de-
pend on the authorities to curb them.
Down here a serious crime by a negro
is the general, immediate business of
every man with white skin. We
cannot have our wives or daughters
appearing on the public witness stand
tn testify against an attacking negro.
The surest, fairest, most effective and
least expensive means of dealing with
black scoundrel is to hang him at
/ once from the nearest limb and 90
home and forget it.
"'It seems to be the prevailing no.
tion in the North that we are more apt
than not to get the wrong man. This
does not happen in one case out of a
hundred. Our police and our deputy
sheriffs know the whole history, the
habits, character and hiding place of
every nigger in their districts. When
one of the bad ones commits a serious
crime, they know exactly where to
look for him, and the citizens who 60
with them take rope along. Without
lynching we would live i'm mortal ter
ror day and night. As it is, we have
far less trouble with the negroes than
you do in the North, and the vast ma
jority of them get along better with
us than they do with you.'"

New York, Feb. 1.-THE condition

the earlier battles of the revolutionary
war. we encountered q man who, after
expressing his amazement at our
statement that we had just descended
from climb to its top, astonished US,
in turn. when he vouchsafed the in
formation that although he was born
and had always lived in house within
few steps of the historic structure
he had never entered it. Again, in
Paris, we met an individual who had
resided for years in the shadow of the
Hotel des Invalides. yet had never vis-
tied the tomb of Napoleon, which ad-
joins it. We ourself confess with hu-
mility that we have yet to set foot on
the island in New York harbor from
which the gigantic Statue of Liberty
lears its head, although for a matter
of ten years we passed it twice daily
on ferryboat.
In this class we are inclined to
place resident of Ocala who has lived
here a year or more, but has not been
to Silver Springs until the desire to
show us around caused him TO motor
to the resort and view its sub-aqueous
wonders. Do we need to say that he,
like ourself, was enchanted? Well
say we don't.
AS we gazed through the glass
panel in the boats bottom the melli-
fiuous voiced guide informed US that
the fiowl of water in the spring
amounted to "th'ee hun'ed an sixty
eight thousan' nine hun'ed and thirteen
gallons a minute" This seemed stu
pendous, and we were disposed to
question the accuracy of the state
ment. but were deferred by the appre-
hension that he might challenge us to
measure it ourself if we doubted his
word. Besides, the only vessel In
sight that could have been used for
the purpose was large tin can that
lay in the water thirty feet below, and
this, manifestly, could be drawn to the
surface only with much difficulty.

One reason for writing the forego-

| Asking the name of q majestic tree
that attracted our attention, we were
informed that it was "just an ordinary
cabbage palmetto" Somewhat shock
ed that the designation of the lowly
garden vegetable should be coupled
with that of so stately a plant, we
were informed that really and truly
edible cabbage grew in the huge
isphere of foliage that surmounted the
tall and smooth trunk. We expressed

 Flashes of sunshine capped the peaks of the mountains at times and made a brilliant display.
 The midnight feast was thorough ly enjoyed and the appetites were strong and healthy. Bacon and eggs as well as lighter viands made up the feast which with aromatic coffee sufIlced to fill the inner man.

People with bad backs and week kid neys are apt to feel old at sixty. Many old folks say Doan's Kidney Pills help them keep young. Here's a Convincing case:
 J. P. Howe, prop. of general store, 152 Water St. Santa Cruz, Calif., says: "I hanen't needed a kidney medicine for the past two years, as I have had no trouble since last us- ing Doan's Kidney Pills. It was oyerlifting that affected my kidneys. l had severe pain in the lower part of my back, but the main trouble was with my kidneys. They didn't act properly. The secretions burned and there was inflammation in my bladder I had tried all known kid ney medicines, out they did me no good. Doan's Kidney Pills did the work for me. I have been entirely free from kidney and bladder trou- ble for the past two years" ((State- ment given February 19, 1916).
 On December 4, 1919, MT. Howe said: "I never miss a chance to rec ommend Doan's Kidney Pills to any one I hear speak of kidney trouble. know from experience, there is nothing better for this trouble"

URGES A MIXED DIET

Proof that the steady corn-bread diet is
not sufficient came with the report of truant
officer in our state, who found family in

During the past several weeks one man has
shipped seven car loads of our best dairy cattle

BRING FARMER AND
BUYER TOGETHER

John T. Cochrane, president of the Alabama
Tennessee and Northern railroad, operating 200
miles of railway in western Alabama announces
The establishment of an agricultural depart
ment.
Mr.. Cochrane's plan embraces three IDEAS
The department will seek to have the farmer
raise the stuff that is marketable, arrange for
its sale through marketing associations and
secure customers for stated products before
they are raised
There is nothing like knowing what one is
driving at. If an agricultural section raises
what the merchants can handle and. the mer-
chants know that what they handle to advan-
tage is being raised, both planter and merchant
may go ahead safely making ready for the har-
vesting and marketing season.
Cooperative marketing is the middle step
and one that is essential to the salvation of the
scheme Only the largest producers can mar
ket products single-handed. Only the largest
can ship in car lots and make arrangements
for advantageous disposal of products in the
purchasing centers.
There is a fertile agricultural section along
the Alabama, Tennessee and Northern which
will be greatly benefited by hearty co-opera-
ton with President Cochrane's plan.
