Pursued by Mob Hatred to hisPrison

Forest of Corn on the OklawahaFarminet Advisers

DESPERATELY YdDED BY A FELLOW

ALMOST SURE TO DIE

For the last three or four years,the editor of the Star has been hear-ing of and desiring to see the Okla-

waha River Farm, but none of hisfriends have been thoughtful enoughto take him in sight of those broadand fertile acres.

The sin of omission was removedyesterday, when Mr. D. S. Welch,formerly a citizen of the world re-nowned Iowa corn belt, and desirousof seeing something equal to it, tookMr. L. W. Duval and the Star man inhis swift and staunch auto, to the fa-mous farm.

The party left Ocala about 1:30 p.m., and in a little over an hour reach-ed the farm, which is on the littleOklawaha river, about twenty milessouth of Ocala.

Everybody in this section hasheard of the Oklawaha Farm, re-claimed at immense expense from theriver swamp, and setting an examplethat will in time be followed alongevery river in Florida. The promot-ers selected a place where the riverwas more than usually crooked, andcut across a navigable canal sixmiles in length. Into this they turn- -'

coming up in profusion. Wild riceand wild millet, uncultivated, wasgrowing rank. Almost everythingexcept wheat will grow on this greatfarm.

In many places in Florida, thissame work can be repeated. In manylocations, companies can establishfarms, with soil of inexhaustible rich-ness, operated from offices withhomes nearby on high pine ridges amile or less away. Pure air and wa-ter are to be had in abundance.

When the party returned to thesettlement, it was a thirsty littlecrowd. It repaired to the well,where there was an abundance of thebest water, clear and cool. The factis that the farm settlement is an idealresidence location.

Returning, .the party came overthe Lake Bryant road to Sharpe'sFerry. A number of pretty andflourishing homes, surrounded byfields and groves, were passed. Thepublic road was a fairly good one,but going thru the flatwood 3 fromthe Daytona road to Lake- - Bryantcaused Mr. Welch to show a gooddeal of skill in guiding the car. Onceon the public road, he made the autogo at a lively clip, bringing theparty back to Ocala in an hour andten minutes after leaving the farm.

TECT THEIR MUTUALINTERESTS

A number of the largest lumbermanufacturers and dealers in CentralFlorida met in this city Friday aft-ernoon for the purpose of forming anorganization to take over, the finishedlumber of their mills and marketsame on an equitable basis.

cated in Ocala with branch offices inJacksonville and several points in theeastern states where most of thisclass of lumber is sold.

IMMENSE FORCES OF GERMANSATTACK RUSSIAN LINE

FROM END TO END

( As.-aoiat- Press)

London, July 19. Attention is nowcentered on the gigantic operations inthe east. Fighting is in full swingon nearly every section of the Rus-sian line from the Baltic to theDncister. General von Buelow ispushing the German advance towardsRiga, at the northern end. Move-ments of cavalry are on a scale ex-ceeding anything heretofore duringthe war.

On Gen. von Buelow's right Gen.von Echorn is being held up by thefortress of Ossowetz. To the rightof him Gen. von Gallwitz is pressingan attack on Narew. There is com-parative quiet on the Rawka andBzura lines, also southwest of War-saw. The southeast movement againstLublin is in full swing.

The Russians must fight a defen-sive battle for Warsaw or abandonall Foland. It is believed here thelatter move is likely.

WILL LIGHTEN PRESSURE INTHE WEST

It is believed the Germans have lit-tle reserve to devote to the west.This offers the Entente Allies achance to enhance their munitionssupply or attempt to recapture Lille.Another view is the best aid to givethe Russians is to open the Darda-nelles. The Allies may combine bothattempts. f

Milledgeville, July 19. Physicians j

at 8 o'clock this morning said the '!

condition of Leo Frank was muchworse. His throat was badly swollenand his temperature 102 2-- 5.

BLOOD POISONING THE PRIN-

CIPAL DANGER

Frank's family physician, who returned to Atlanta last night, thinking Frank's condition warranted it,was summoned back today with an-

other doctor. Frank was nervousearly today and his temperature rosecontinuously. He was delirious attimes and his temperature, which washighest shortly before 8 o'clock, be-

gan to drop, then at 9 o'clock was101.

Dr. Compton, the prison physician,wasn't so alarmed as the other attending physicians. He said feverwas to be expected and the swollenneck itself was not a necessarily exceedingly dangerous sign. Bloodpoisoning is most feared.

THE ATTACK ON FRANK

Frank was attacked in the stateprison Saturday night by a fellow asprisoner. His head was cut half offwith a prison-mad- e butcher knife thatconvicts had used during the day inkilling hogs. .

The attack was made from behind,the left jugular vein being several.The spinal cord was not touched andneither was the windpipe. Thewound, however, is a deep, ugly one,and Frank had suffered the loss of agreat amount of blood before doctorsreached his side.

William Creen, who is doing a lifeterm from Columbus, Ga., on a chargeof murder, is accused by the prisonauthorities of cutting Frank's throat.Green has been put in a dungeon.

DOESN'T TALK LIKE A GUILTYMAN

Frank has asked the prison doctorsagain if they thought he would live.

"You have a' change to recover," hewas told.

Frank smiled. "Don't punish theman who attacked me," he said. "Ihave nothing to fear. There is nothing between me and God. I will beable to prove to the world that I aminnocent of the crime of which theyaccuse me if they give me a chance." be

"Doctor," he said late yesterday af-

ternoon, "I am going to live. I mustlive. I must vindicate myself."

ed the river, leaving comparativelydry a space of many hundreds ofacres, which they cleared and put incultivation.

A visitor to the farms first findshimself in a little town of neat cot-tages, with a commissary, a deepwell and water tank. This, tho in afew hundred yards of bottom landthat was river swamp half a dozenyears ago, is on a high pine ridge,dry and healthy as any part of Flor-ida.

Leaving the auto in the settlement,the party took shank's mare, and in afew minutes came to the canal thatdrains the farm. This is a wide, deepditch, cutting off several miles of in-

tricate river navigation, and therebydoing the whole Oklawaha valley aservice. There will be. plenty ofboats along it by and by. It is a goodcanal, and if Bob Martin was bigenough he would carry it off somedark night and put it. down betweenSilver Springs and Ocala.

.Crossing the canal and passingseveral flourishing fields of rice,sorghum and other products, theparty took a road that led them intothe heart of the corn forest.

A forest it is, with the cornstalksstanding up like young trees. Theshortest are ten feet high, twelve arecommon; some shoot up to twenty.The stalks stand so close togetherthat there is no " going thru themwithout cutting a way. Two andthree ears to the stalk, and the earsas heavy and long as are seen any-where.

As aforesaid, Mr. Welch 13 fromthe Iow3 corn belt, but he says henever saw anything like that Okla-waha valley corn. Any person whoshould get off one of the tracks cutthru the field would be lost. Hecouldn't see ten feet in any direction,and his only chance to get out wouldbe to tie three or four stalks to-

gether and climb up them. Four ofthe stalks combined would hold anordinary sized man up.

The "Star man thought he sawsomething like a hill ahead, ancT pro-posed going to it, but Mr. Duvallaughed and said it was only wherethe corn was higher by a couple offeet than it was right around theparty.

The fertility of this soil will notbe exhausted for untold centuries.For thousands of years the rivermanufactured muck, till in someplaces it is forty feetdeep. The twoindispensable things soil and irriga-tion are combined.

In every place where the groundhas been allowed to go uncultivated afew weeks, the weeds have grown inforests of their own. Some of theseweeds are twenty and thirty feethigh. With much hard work, Mr.Welch, using a big, sharp pocketkiiife,cut one down and took, a piece off thebutt. It was hollow, or he couldn'thave cut it down with anything lessthan an ax. The piece he took off tobring to town was almost a foot indiameter.

It is estimated that this field of 700acres will average 100 bushels to theacre. A great deal of this will pro-duce 125. bushels. The . very worstwill yield forty to fifty.

Rice planted a few days ago was
