A Republican paper asks why the
Democratic party does not nominate a
Southern man for president as most of
its votes come from the South. The
reason is because there is more sectional
prejudice in the North than there is in
the South, but the South can begin ton
ing down this sectional spirit by nomi
nating a Southern man for vice president
and gradually move up to the presi
dential mark.
Some years ago it was shown by ex

mark. The maximum at the University

ALLIANCE WILLETS VIEWS.
Democrats Will Win anti Cteve
land Will be the Lucky Man.
Mr. J. F. Willet, of Kansas, who was
elected National Alliance Lecturer at
the Ocala convention, has, since his elec
tion, traveled over fourteen thousand
miles, organized alliances in several
states and lectured to many thousand
paople, thinks that Cleveland will be
the nominee of the next Democratic
convention, and wiil be the next Presi
dent. He thinks that the People’s Party
will nominate a candidate and that
President Polk is so far the favorite, and
that the vote will be so equally divided
that neither of the three candidates will
receive a majority of the' electoral col
lege; that the election will be thrown
into the House of Representatives, and
as it is largely democratic, the demo
cratic nominee will bo chosen. Mr.
Willet thinks that the Alliance is
steadily gaining ground and will ulti
mately control the politics of the coun
try. He says the Alliance is maturing a
plan for the solution of the race prob
lem that bids fair to prove eminently
satisfactory to both the North and the
South, and will gladly be adopted by the
negro, whom it will remove from poli
tics, and, until the negro ii removed
from politic?, he says, no party but the
Democratic party can expect to gain
any strength in the Southern States.
Mr. Willet seems to he actuated by
patriotic purposes and states his views
with great impartiality and candor.
Of course the country will anxiously
await the plan for the solution of the
race problem.
The Third Parly in Georgia.
Mr. F. D. Wimberly, one of Georgia’s
Alliance lecturers, and an aspirant for
Congressman Crisp’s place, and who is
said to be one of the most forcible as
well as logical orators in Georgia, was
recently interviewed by a Savannah
News correspondent at llawkinsville
about the third party, and this is what
lie is reported to have said :
lie believes that the People’s party is
inevitable, that the convention at Wash
ington in 1892 will declare for it. He
believes that the Third congressional
district will be for ttie new party, and
that the same may be said of Pulaski
county. Cant. Wimberly has canvassed
the district pretty thoroughly, and says
he knows whereof he speaks. The im
pression left by the interview is that he
is a third party man, for he stated that
he believed that the alliance wonld go
into the new party and that he would
go with it.
A Healthy Melon Crop in Florida
and Georgia.
The Savannah, Florida and Western
shipped over all its lines this season, up
to last Saturday, 3,151 cars of water
melons as against 2,611 cars up to the
same time last year. The roads expects
to ship 1,500 car loads more from the
division between Albany and Thomas
ville. The Central railroad has shipped
about 2,500 cars up to date. The
Georgia Southern and Florida has
shipped several hundred cars, and so has
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railroad. Up to date between 7,000 car
loads of watermelons have been shipped
out of Georgia and Florida, and there
are several thousand more car loads yet
to go.
Still Forging Ahead.
The formation of new phosphate and
construction companies continue to
make things active in the secretary’s
office at Tallahassee. Among the new
companies are the following:
The Fidelity Investment company,
with principal place of business at Jack
sonville and a capital stock of SIOO,OOO.
The incorporators are Adolph Plummer,
J. William Johnson and W. 11. Jones.
The company will buy, sell and develop
mining and timber lands.
The Phoenix Phosphate company, c?p
ital stock SBOO,OOO. The principal place
of business will be at Ocala. The incor
porators are B. F. Jordan, H. L. Ander
son, J. A. Ammons, B. F. Hampton and
W. B. Lynch.
The Silver Springs and Western Rail
road company, capital SIOO,OOO. The
road will be about sixty miles in length,
running from Silver Springs to Ocala
and westward to Dunnellon, with a
branch to Aicher. The directors for the
first year are F. A. Teague, R. L. Ander
son and 11. L. Anderson.
The Atlantic and Gull Railroad com
pany of Florida, capital stock $2,000,000.
The road will be about 138 miles in
length, running from a point on the At
lantic Ocean in St. Johns county across
the state through St. Johns, Clay (pos
sibly Putnam) Bradford, Alachua and
Lafayette to the Gulf ccast. The direc
tors for the first year are Alplionso F.
Tildcn of New York, James Shears of
Charlotte, X. C., Jas. I, Davis of Lake
Providence, La, Henry B. R. Tilden of
Danbury, N. C , and Joseph Watson of
London.

The Fanners’ Wheat Corner.
Nobody can blame the United Farm
ers’ Alliances for attempting to corner
the wheat crop. It is their own wheat,
and they have been taught the dodge
by the very men whom it is the object
of their political association to shear of
power—-the middlemen and the brokers.
By all meaus let the Alliances win if
they can. But let them also remember
two things—-first, that the consumer will
scarcely sympathize any more eagerly
with an Alliance squeeze than with a
Chicago coin-pit squeeze; and, second,
that iron pen of history has hitherto
relentlessly recorded the fulfillment of
the prophecy that they w ho take up the
corner shall perish by the corner. Yet
there will bs some unholy fun in watch
ing Chicago lock horns with the em
battled grangers. This field of conflict
has yet to be fought oat.
Making Farming Attractive.
John W. Brookwaltel, the Ohio mil
lionaire, hat started an interesting
scheme in which philanthropy and
business is combined. It is well-known
that on the continent of Europe the
farmers live together in villages, and
thus have an opportunity for cultivating
the social side of life. Mr. Brook waiter
wants to introduce that mode of farm
life in America. He has 60,000 acres of
laud in Nebraska, where he proposes to
establish a settlement, the houses of
which are in groups, w ith the farms sur
rounding the collection of houses. As
an inducement for Americans to try
this form of farm life he offers to build
a home for every farmer who is williug
to make the experiment. This home
will be rented for a nominal sum, one.
which, Mr. Brookwalter says, the poor
est firmer can pay, and if at the end of
the lease the tenant has proved himself
to be the right kind of a person, he will
have tlie privilege of buying the piop
erty at a low sum of money.
It is said figures never lie; hut those
made up for the ballet are not always
true to nature.— Neir Orleans Picayune.
A Difference of Opinion.
Governor Tillman, of South Carolina,
ii just now the subject of a good deal of
newspaper talk.. He is said to oppose
the sub-treasury scheme and accepted a
challenge for a series of debates with
the most popular of the Alliance lectur
ers. According to some papers, notably
the New York Times, at the close of the
discussion a vote was taken on the
Ocala platform, including the sub-treas
ury plank, which failed of indorsement
by a very large majority. According to
some other papers, otably the Savan
nah News and Macon Telegraph, Gover
nor Tillman met with such a tremen
dous opposition by the Alliance, of
which no longer than a year ago he was
the popular idol, that he could neither
move h tnd nor foot.
It was arranged that the debates
should be secret and confined solely to
the members of the order, and when
the Governor asked in the beginning of
his speech if any in the audience were
open to conviction, only six hands were
held up. He spoke to a packed jury
and his cause was hopeless, and resolu
tions condemning his views were unani
mously adopted.
When there is such a radical differ
ence of opinion regarding Governor Till
man and the South Carolina Alliance,
what is the newspaper that wants to be
impartial and give information that is
reliable, to do?
Burford’s Redemption Bill.
The Daily Florida Standard of the
24th and 25th of July, endorses Gover
nor Fleming in vetoing that bill. We
hope Mr. Burford will reply and that
the Banner will copy it. I, for one,
should like to bear the pro3 and cons.
The bill never struck me favorably. A
batter bill, I should think, would be one
making mortgaged property only re
sponsible for the debt. As it is, I bor
row SI,OOO on forty acres of land—tho
lender believing it good security, else he
would not lend it—he forecloses the
mortgage. In the summer when money
is scarce and our people are absent, an and
my forty acres sell “under the hammer”
for SSOO, then he gets judgment against
me and my other property for SSOO
more.
Be just and honest, and if you give
security for money and fail to meet the
note, why, deliver the agreed upon
property, but let that be a cancellation
of the debt. But we will wait and see
how the Standard and Mr. Burford
make it. L. M. Ayer.

Circulation Climbing Up.
The Courier-Informant, of Bartow,
says its circulation has reached 2,208
weekly issues to bona fide subscribers,
and now stands fourth in the list of
Florida papers having the largest circu

It would be interesting to know which
are the three papers in the State that
distribute more copies than the Courier-
Informant of Bartow'. Name them.
To Cure Chicken Warts a nd J iggers
Pulverized nux-vomica fed to chickens,
say a table spoonful to every fifty chick
ens. Put the preperation in c>rn meal
dough and feed for a week aud then for
two or three days for two or three
weeks afterwards, and it will cause them
to throw off the jiggers or chicken flea.
For the cure of warts,the following prep
aration is given:
As soon as the warts make their ap
pearance on the heads of the little
chicks, get a splinter of fat pine and a
slice of bacon; light the pine and hold
the bacon over the flame, allowing the
pitch and grease to drop into a pan or
saucer. When the mixture is cool, take
a feather and apply it thoroughly on and
around the warts. One or two applica
tions a day for three days will generally
be sufficient to cure the worst cases.
Florida Phosphate Abroad.
A circular letter from Messrs. Couper,
Miller & Cos., 1 Fenchunch avenue, Lon
don, England, dated July, contains the
following information about Florida
phosphate in foreign markets:
“ One feature worthy of notice is,
that whilst the total production of
Florida up to date is very disappointing,
the quantity of high grade rock offering
from there is in excess of what our mar
ket at present requires. There is always
an outlet for a certain quantity of phos
phate testing 70 per cent and upwards,
but when this quantity has been
reached it is only possible to sell more
by foregoing the premium usually raid
for the higher test and reducing the
price per unit. We have enough proof
of this at the present time, when 70 per
cent Florida rock can be bought cheaper
per unit than 60 per cent. Peace river.
The reason is not far to seek, for manu
facturers who are accustomed to buy
Carolina phosphate, naturally prefer to
take something of the same type, rather
than a material of which they have
never had experience, which necessi
tates an entire change in their manner
of working, and gives an entirely differ
ent appearance to that which their cus
tomers look for. -* * In Florida the
raisers of river stock are harassed with
labor troubles, low water and difficulties
brewing with the state authorities on
the question of what are navigable
streams, and so subject to the new phos
phate law.”
Reaper Works Converted Into Car
Shops.
Win. N. Whitley, whose ambition
caused him to build the largest reaper
works in the world, at Springfield, 0..
covering forty six acres of land, sold the
same to Clricago, Cleveland and New
York capitalists, who will convert the
same into the largest car construction
shops in the United States. The build
ings cost $150,000. They were sold for
$300,000.
Wash For Orange Scale.
The Scientific American rectntly con
densed from a circular issueu by the
United States Agricultural Department,
a chapter on insecticides, giving among
other things several formulas for the
preparation of emulsions and washes
for ridding orange trees of scale insects.
This has called out from Mr. N. W.
Matlieral, of Hanford, California, a let
ter to the Scientific American, in which
he gives directions for the preparation
of a wash which he states has been
brought out by lhe horticultural board
of Tulare county, and Is now beh'g used
all over that State with very satisfactory
results. The formula is as follows :
Sulphur 20 pounds.
Lime 10 pounds.
Boil for two or three hours in 20 gal
lons of water until the lime and sul
phur have thoroughly united, then add
lime enough to make a thin white wash,
adding water enough to make sixty gal
lons. Apply with spray pump warm,
and all the scale will be killed and the
tree will be invigorated.
Phosphate Shipment.
The steamship Frieda, Captain Red
head, finished loading yesterday after
noon. and will probably sail to morrow.
She has a cargo of 2,256 tons of phos
phate, for Harburg, Germany. The ves
sel coaid have taken 3,100 tons, but the
depth of water on the bar would not
permit her to cross with that quantity
•a board. She now draws eighteen
feet.— Fernandina Mirror.
THE OCALA BANNER, FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 1891.
Gettysburg Truth.
Beeology.
Peter Gross, of near York Springs, had
a thrilling experience the other day
while plowing corn. He had been
working hard all morning and, about
two o'clock, concluded to take a short
nap under a neighbo-ing cherry tree.
He settled himself comfortably and had
just fallen into a doze when a buzzing
sound apprise! hiai of the fact that
something was wrong. Waking up w ith
a start, he was horrorstrack to find that
a hive of his own bees was about to
swarm on his head. Rushing into the
field lie, like theo3tricb, thought that by
covering his head with the ground he
could get rid of his unwelcome visitors.
But he could not work that “gag” on
educated bees. Being on the crest of
one cf the high hills that surround tiis
house, he tried another dodge, which
worked admirably. Lying down, he
gave himself a shove aud down, down
he went, rolling over stones, sticks and
bushes until at last he reached the
kitchen door, where his wife was wait
ing to receive him. She pulled the poor
man into the house and put him to bed,
where he remained several days. Mr.
Gross applied treatment to himself with
marked success. He is now able to l e
out again, though somewhat bruised aud
swollen.
SWARMED IN lIER UJRSET.
A hive of bees swarmed in a corset
that had been hung out to air in North
Atchison last week. The owner of the
corset tried to coax the bees off by
beating a tin pan, but they settled down
to business, and she bad to go without
her corset until her husband came
home at night and smoked the invaders
off.

The new states that have recently been
admitted to the Union have a good title
to the old term “The Great Northwest,”
and the two Dakotas, Wyoming, Mon
tana, Idaho and Washington make a
great empire of new possibilities. The
Chicago & North-Wertern Railway, that
once covered the “Old Northwest,” min
istered to its growth and greatness and
was a great missionary factor in the de
velopment of northern Illinois, Wis
consin, lowa, Northern Michigan, Minne

by its alliance with the Union Pacific
R’y it etretches out its protecting arms

to buy up the railroads of the country

wide chasm between the statements of
the two Senators. Senator Carlisle

A Liberal Proposition.
Who has not heard of that paragon of
family papers, the enterprising and pop
ular Weekly Detroit Free Press? For a
generation its name has been a boose
hold word and it has become a synonym
for all that is excellent, pare and ele
vating in journalism. It is delightfully
entertaining without resort to cheap sen
sationalism, instructive without bein
prosy or pedantic. Combining the liter
ary qualities of the expensive magazine
w ith the bright, breezy characteristics of
the newspaper, it leaves nothing to be
desired by the average reader. It is
looked upon as a welcome visitor by
every family who reads it, while thous
ands regard it as indispensable and
would on no account go without it. An
enormous circulation of 125,000 copies
per week attests its wonderful popular
ity. Recognizing tho fact that there
are those who are unfamiliar with its
surpassing merits os a home paper, the
publishers offer to send the Free Press
to them for the balance of this year
(over five months) for only 30 cents —a
club of four for SI.OO or a club of ten for
$2.00. All our readers should subscribe

bill refused to pay for more than supper
and lodging. The landlord had them
arrested by police, but the magistrate
discharged them. Tiien they sued the
landlord for false imprisonment. The
■circuit court held that the hotel was en
titled to pay for breakfast, even thou gh
not eaten, if the bill was not paid till
after the meal was served. The appel
late court now reverses this ruling, and
holds that there is nothing in the law to
compel people to pay for what they do
not get.
