Cane Fields Twenty Miles Long and Ten Miles Wide. Gainesville, Fla., Oct. 4.—Among the visitors to this city Saturday was Oliver Shaw, formerly of Alachua, but for the past few years a resident of Porto Rico., where he holds a lu crative and responsible goverment position. Mr. Shaw, who was born and rear ed near Alachua, this county, Is now on a visit to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Shaw, at that place. In 1898, during the Spanish-Amerlcan war, he joined the brigadier quarter master's department and went to Por-j to Rico. He became Infatuated wfth the .country and at the close of the war decided to remain there. Hav ing won distinction In his duties with the United States army, and showing proficiency, he was given a situation with the civil government, education al department, with headquarters at San Juan, the capital. “Porto Rico is a fine country,” re marked Mr. Shaw, who is very en thusiastic over the prospects of the newly-developed island. “There Is no soil in the world superior for the cul tivation of sugar cane, tobacco and coffee, and all are Important crops, with probably a little favor to sugar cane. I recently visited a cane field twenty miles In length, and from ten to twelve miles wide, with the plant growing from eight to twelve feet high. The coffee plant also grows and hears proliflcally, while tobacco thrives well, and hundreds of thous ands of pounds are harvested every year." Mr. Shaw states that the sea Island cotton industry is becoming Import ant on the Island now, and many planters are turning their attention to this plant, several thousand bales having been ginned this season.

Think what might have resulted from his terrible cough if he nad not taken the medicine about hich he writes: “I had a fearful cough, that disturbed my night’s rest. I tried everything, but nothing would relieve it, until I took King’s New Discovery for consump tion, coughs and colds, which com pletely cured me. Instantly relieves and permanently cures all throat and lung diseases; prevents grip -and pneumonia. At W. D. Dunaway and E. Dimmock’s drug stores; price 50 cents and $1.00. Trial bottle free. Ed, the defendant, one pint of rye whisky, for which he paid lawful money of the United States.

It lias been several days since an a rest of this nature occurred. The blind tigers are either few and far between in Gainesville or the officers find it difficult to capture them.
