PROSPEROUS CITIES f-

Our dry campaign speakers havehad good deal to say about the pros ¬

perous cities of Florida and refer toTallahassee Live Oak Lake City andGainesville as examples-

ItI

is our opinion that the citiesnamed nor no other cities in the in¬

terior of Florida are prosperous orcan ever become prosperous as long-

as the present freight rates continueOcala is as prosperous we believe-

as any interior city in the state butit is bound hand and foot and wheth-er

¬

it goes wet or dry In the pendingelection it can never hope to become-

a city unless its freight rates undergo-

a very radical changeOne hundred and thirty dollars on

outgoing freights in car lots and theexcess charges running it up in someinstances to two hundred dollars Is akilling frost to our trucking businessand the rates to interior points arealike prohibitive

The prosperous cities in Florida arethe seaport cities Jacksonville KeyWest Pensacola Tampa Miami etcand these cities are prosperous be ¬

cause of the advantage they enjoyover the interior cities in freightrates

In the matter of prosperity thewet or dry argument cuts very littleice

A Prosperous CountryThe last official data obtainable

from Washington show a large in¬

crease in trade and cropsThe grain exports for the 9 months

this year amounted to 105219693bushels as compared with 45573796-for the same months last year Thereports for this year are preliminary-and estimated to include 97 per centof the actual shipment

This year the corn exports havebeen 52752212 bushels as compared-with 34441771 bushels for the cor-

responding¬

months last year The j

September export of grain this yearamounted to more than ten millionbushels over September of 1904 Thedomestic movements of trade duringSeptember show the same increase

Yearly two million head of live-

stock arrived at five of the largestdistributing centers in excess ot Sep ¬

tember a year ago while the increase-of receipts of grain in twelve import-ant

¬

interior centers aggregates over27000000 bushels more than the cor ¬

responding month last year The to-

Dissatisfied LaborersEven King Solomon had trouble-

gaged in the building of the temple-and the F E C railway is no lessfavored in its effort to extend itsline to Key West Of course whereso many are employed a certain per¬

I

cent of the workmen are murmurersThese dissatisfied ones are eitherleaving the extension work or arebeing discharged for cause Theyclaim that the conditions were mis-

represented¬

to them but this cannot-be so because the conditions musthave been apparent They werehired to grade and construct a rail-road across the Florida keys to KeyWest Surely they knew that thismeant work with pick shovel andax they must have known that itmeant camp life in the woods-

It meant hardship It did notmean that they wire to sleep onfeather beds eat fried chicken anddo indoor work About fifty or sixty-of these laborers arrived here yesterdap from the extension work andwere all arrested by the city marshalwho released them under promise i

that they would either get work or J

lOUR LOCAL EDITOR

IN SAINT LOUIS

Visits the AnneuserSusch Brewery

and the Beautiful Botanical Gar ¬

densLOUSVILTLE KY Nov IS 1905

Special Correspondence Ocala BannerWith a party of friends the local

editor spent several days this week atSt Louis A wreck ahead caused us

to spend several hours at a little townI in southern Indiana It was an in-

tensely¬

t disagreeable little village andnaturally gave us a most unpleasantimpression of that section of Indiana-On our return trip we were in a bet ¬

ter frame of mind and things inthat same country looked entirelydifferent to us It proves the truth of

the adage that things appear accord ¬

Iing to the lasses through which they-are seen The view point has much todo in shaping ones opinions

Saint Louis is a big city but onecertainly misses the great expositionThe crowds look small by comparison-

to

I

the swarms of people one saw inI every nook and cranny of the citylast year Several of the Pike attrac ¬

r tions were running during the sum-

mer¬

months but now hardly a vestigeI

of the fair remainsI This fact however gives one allthe more time to see the city itself

I

and the two days that we were thereI

mannerwere spent in a delightfully pleasant

I Everybody has of course heard of

the AnheuserBusch brewery and a

trip through the property of thiscompany is alone almost worth avisit to this western metropolis It istold that when an American in speak ¬

I

ing of the gigantic Worlds Fair toEmperor William the Emperor askedthis question Where is St Louisanyway and that the gentlemanfeelingly and forcefully replied Itis right next to the AnheuserBuschbrewery While this of course is a

fiction is dosnc miss the mark a great I

way I

t One is almost appalled at the im ¬

I mensity of the brewery In fact itI

I is in itself a city It covers one hun-I

¬

I dred and twentylive acres of groundequal to sixty city blocks and em-

ploys

¬

I rive thousand people There isI the brewhoase bottling works malthouses ice and refrigerati tr plants I

II printing establishment steam and

ielectric power plants stock houses

Istorage elevators etc The companyoperates four of the largest switchengines ever built and two thousand-of the most modern refrigerator carsThe sale of beer for 1903 amounted to1201762 barrels

The streets and the buildings are

I beautifully kept and regular guides-

are employed to pilot the visitorsthrough the establishment It was

marvelous to watch the rapidity withwhich every employer worked Not

t a minute was lost and each one seem-

ed

¬

I intent on accomplishing more thanthe one next to him There was nocigarette nor pipe smoking no loit-

ering¬

and not a minute was lost Itwas ever a rush and a hurry but nodisorder nor confusion followed Themost perfect system prevails in every

i department and speeds along as ifI worked automatically-

Mr Busch has his residence nearthe brewery on Busch court Wewere shown through his private sta-

bles¬

I which was in itfelf a treatI

At the conclusion of the tripthrough the brewery everyone is allowed to drink as much of the ireshbeer as they choose

Another interesting feature of SaintLouis is Shaws Botanical gardensThese are perhaps the largest and

t

most complete gardens in the UnitedStates and perhaps equal to anything-n Honolulu or Japan They were

I the property of Mr Henry Shaw oneI of that citys wealthy citizens andI distinguished philanthropists At his1 death he bequeathed these gardensto Saint Louis and a large amount for

I the maintenance of the same Al-

most¬

every flower fern palm and I

j plant that can be found in any counI

j try is grown in these gardens and arei most beautiful and luxuriant Thegreen house that is especially devoted-to

l

the cultivation of air plants is par-

ticularlyj

I interesting Every variety j

I of the orchid is shown and many of j-

I them were in bloom and were veryj

lovely i-

Just at this particular season the j

chrysanthemum show was on and 1

iwas the most exquisite picture imag-inable

f

There were hundreds and j

hundreds of varieties of this gorgeous j

flower of every color size and hue t

They were very attractively and ar-

tistically¬

arranged in an immense-tent and the profusion of beautiful I

colors and the many delightful odorswas most intoxicating-

The recollections of these beautifulexquisite and superb pictures will lin-

ger¬

long in the memory of those whowere so fortunate as to be present

Saint Louis has its large depart ¬

ment stores palatial hotels hand¬

some clubs fine residences swellflats and comfortable apartmenthouses beautiful parks and theatres-etc very much like any other bigcity It is growing very rapidly andwithin the next several years its citi¬

zens expect that the population willreach the million mark Its uniondepot is very magnificentprobably-the finest in the countryso that assoon as one reaches the city onesfirst impression is bound to be favorble

Fantana the musical comedy-that clever Jefferson de Angelis hasmade famous during the past sum¬

mer and fall was the attraction at theGarrick theatre this week It id abright breezy and beantiful littleopera and was greeted by a very largeaudiences It comes up fully to thereputation it had won in the east

Our stay in the city though briefwas delightfully spent and the mo ¬

ments flitted away all too quicklyHow much life and enjoyment and

excitement and exhileration onefinds in a great city There is alwayssomething for the eyes and the soul-to feast onpaintings sculpturecolossal statues fountains parkstheatres churches attractively deco-rated

¬

windows and animation beau ¬

ty and life at every turn The blood-In ones veins courses more quicklyand tingles with delight and joy

It all comes from having a popula ¬

tion Thats the explanation Letus hope that in time the population ofthe south will become as dense as thepopulation of the north and west andthen we shall have the same spien j

dors beauties attractions and activ-ities f

II am reminded that I have said t

nothing of beautiful Louisville andher hospitable people I shall makethem the subject of a separate letter-

I shall next visit Atlanta Jackson-ville
