.Fss 81.
Territory to Form New County
Of Hastings

Palatka, August 23.-The move
ment of the citizens of the Hastings
vicinity to create new county with
Hastings the county seat, threatens
to stir up a hornets nest of protest
in Putnam county. It develops that
proponents of the plan not only want
to slice off a part of st. Johns county
to create the new political division,
but they also want part of Putnam
county. East Palatka, San Mateo,
Satsuma, Cisco, Lake Como, Federal
Point, Orange Mills and several other
communities would be lost to Putnam
The boundaries of the proposed new
county of Hastings would give that
county a width of twenty four miles
from east to west and length Of
thirty miles from north to south. The
proposed boundaries follow:
Begin at a point on the east bank
of the st. Johns river about one mile
south of Tocoi, and which is the town

eight, and run thence east to point
on the range line between ranges

distance of three miles, which is the
center township, thence run east

OCALA, SIX; LEESBURG, ONE

Ocala and Leesburg had good ball
game on the local diamond yesterday.
AlthO Ocala won the game by a six to
one count the game was not so ONE
sided as may be supposed. With the
exception OF the third and eighth in
nings the Wildcats were not able to
do any base running and Leesburg
was held scoreless except in the
seventh.
Scharding performed for the visit
ors and held ocala hitless IN five OF
OF the eight innings he pitched. In
the third and eighth innings however
he seemed to lose MS nerve for the
Wildcats touched him for and hits
respectively In those two frames.
Alvarez tossed 'em for the Wildcats
and Tor six innings not nit had been
made OF his offerings but in the
seventh the Leesburg lads got two
safe ones by the infeld and repeated
the same dose in the eighth. Both
teams played good ball on the defen-
sive. Leesburg made two errors and
Ocala one IN the entire game. Lees
burg's errors were not costly while
the one charged to the Wildcats also
accounts for Leesburg's only run.
Batting honors are divided evenly
between Bracken, Rymer, Brown ana
Taylor. Each of these lads got two
safe blows out of four times at bat.
Those of Brown were both for two
bases and the one hit secured by Leon
was for two sacks. Son Brown re-
deemed himself for his previous bum
playing when he hit SO well in yester-
days game and when he pulled down
the fly that Medlin tried to get by
him in the sixth.
Alvarez broke up an inield hit when
he recovered a slow one that Stewart
hit towards second and threw him out
at first for the last out of the game.
Stephens on short for the visitors
attracted attention on his fast play OF
the ball Brown hit him in the fifth
and Medin annexed hot line drive
in the same inning when he robbed
Rymer of a clean single Frank
Gillespi caught foul off the railroad
fence when no one thought he could
have reached it with a motorcycle.
Frank was going good yesterday.

FAIRFIELD

Fairfield, Aug 24.-Sunday morn
ing about five O'Clock the folks of our
burg were aroused by an alarm of fire.
Mrs. Gibson's store was burning. Of
course all ran as quick as they could
to the scene but all their efforts to
save the house were a failure. The
house and all the contents were COZ
sumed. This is the second time that
Mrs. Gibson has been burned out. The
concensus Of opinion is that the house
was fired by some unknown party. We
all sympathize with Mrs. Gibson in
her loss. We understand the building
was partly insured.
We are glad to report the sick Of
our community somewhat improved.
Mr. M. L. Humphries of Ocala was
caller in our burg Friday.

trip to Ocala Saturday night to carry

mond Friday between Fairfield and
Morriston. The boys here will cross
bats with the Oak team Friday.
Mr.. Peacock was a caller In Ocala
Saturday.
Mrs. w. P. Brown returned from
White Springs few days ago.
Some of our farmers are busy pick
ing cotton and some are preparing

Attempt TO Blow Up Bridge al Fish Weir Creek Only Re"
Minutes Before Passed Over

Jacksonville, Aug. 26.-An investl-
cation of the explosion Of dynamite
OF the Atlantic Coast Line bridge over
Fish Weir creek, just south of the city
limits here last night few minutes
before train No. SO, the Palmetto Linn
tied, New York to Tampa, crossed,
developed today though windows in
houses over a large area were shatter-
ed by the conclusion, the bridge was
not damaged. The dynamiters appar-
emily were amateurs for the explosive
was placed on a piling cap and when 1t
let go only splintered the piling.
The Palmetto Limited left the union
station at 1908 and the explosion was
at 1910. Persons living near the
bridge could not locate the explosion
but believing it was at the trestle at
tempted to intercept the train. They
failed and the flyer, with the crew ig-
norant of the attempt to wreck it and
with five of its eight cars crowded
with passengers, struck the bridge at
full speed. The fact that the train
was not wrecked is considered little
short of a miracle.

BIG PROFITS ON BOOZE
IN THE BALTIC

Stockholm.-(By Mail to the Asso-
ciated Press).-Legislation in Sweden
against drunkenness and consequent
heavy taxation on liquor and beer has
resulted in very high prices for alco-
hol of every kind. So much so that
smuggling of drink into Sweden has
developed all along the coast, and it
is asserted that about 5000 gallons
from the Baltic are landed and sold in
Sweden every day.
Recently a German ship was said to
be anchored outside territorial waters
with cargo of spirits for sale. In
order to establish the truth of this
alleged rum running. the correspond
ent of The Associated Press decided
upon a personal investigation. With
a friend he embarked on a six ton cut
ter for this German boat, which was
expected off Sandhamn, and after a
pleasant sail in the moonlight came
up with the vessel which was riding
at anchor with the usual lights show
ing.
On hailing the vessel we were re-
quested to go aboard and were re-
ceived cordially by the captain. "Just
