Many Injured-One Will l>io-Loss A i><?IIi 9400,000. st. Augustine, Fla., April 2.-st. ? Augustine was visited al an early hour this morning with a spectacular and thrilling conflagration which raused property losses ol' about $400,000, a number of serious casu alties and the wiping out of more than two solid blocks of the heart of tin- city. The sleeping community of residents and thousands of visitors wore aroused shortly after I o'clock by a general alarm of lire and the center of the city was seen to he a blaze of light, visible from the very outskirts ot the city. Promptly the lire department was ont ind at work and in a very short ? space Of time thousands ol' people j had assembled on tin- scene. The' tire was found to have originated on 1 the second Moor in the rear of the I Florida House, one of the oldest ' frame hotels of St. Augustine. In a short time the entire .structure was a seething furnace of Hames and the guests fled for their lives,? many ? in their night, clothes. Many mlracu- ' lons escapes wen? experienced, and in ; spite of the early warning of the guests, a number of them were seri OU8?) Injured. The Florida House ' burned so rapidly that nothing was j saved and the guests lost practically j all of their personal effects. While a number of people were in jured, principally guests of the Flor ida House, only two were seriously hurl and one probably fatally. Miss Alice Smith, of Amherst. Nova Sco tia, jumped from the third story of the hotel and sustained injuries from which it is believed she cannot re ' cover. W. F. Giddings, ot" Granby, Quebec, had a narrow escape, and as a result is laid up in the hospital with a bro ken ankl". Mr. Giddings was a guest at the Florida Mouse and occu pied a room on the second floor. In narrating his experience 'to a press representative.

The development of the home fruit and vegetable garden is one of the most important problems in connec tion with the upbuilding of the hor ticultural resources of our State. Tho home garden paves the way. as it were, for the larger operations of fruit and vegetable growing, lt i always the forerunner of commercial development. From it has evolved all the greal fruit and vegetable in terests of the country. Small and unpretentious as it may appear, it has been the trial ground and propa gating Held where the fitness of num erous given sorts have been proven and where almost all ol our varieties Of high finality and commercial merit have been produced. In view of the fact that fruits and fresh vegetables are appreciated by all classes of people, in the city, town and country, it is surprising how lit tle attention is given to thc growing of them by those who have the pro per facilities and locations at-.their command. Doth of these healthful products of the garden should have a regular and permanent place on the family bill of fare, but In many instances their culture bas been neg lected to such an extent that they are considered almost a luxury. Instead of seeing, as one travels throughout our State, orchards containing the best varieties of practically all t In different kinds of fruit maintained in a thrifty condition, what do we see9 lu the ma iori ty of cases we see only a few trees of the commonest kinds of fruit occupying the waste corners about the home grounds or standing here and there in the cotton and corn Melds with every evidence ot neglect. Instead of seeing well kepi gardens, producing in abundance a variety Of fresh vegetables for thc table every day In the year, whaj do we see'.' All tOO often we soo In the spring only a few of tho hardy vege tables such as cabbage, onions and turnips. In the mid-summer a few of the frost tender sorts, as beans tomatoes and squashes, and a li ttl? later In the season a bountiful cro| of weeds. Most farmers and suburban dwell ers make some effort to grow fruit and vegetables for home use. but in the majority of case? they do noi grow enough to supply their families and that which they do grow is oftei inferior In quality, lt is a co m mot sight to observe people on their wa\ home from town stop at the cornel grocery for a choice head of let tuc? or bnsket of strawberries, when ot ground a distance of less than om hundred yards from their kitchei they could have growing, fresh ant juicy, a very much superior product Not Infrequently there are those win have every opportunity to mow am preserve any amount ot' fruit am vegetables that purchase a constan supply of canned goods of this na ture. Think of it! In a land Uk ours, where these things grow s< easily and cheaply, people orderin canned fruits and vegetables fror the wholesale houses of our larg cities, paying for the cans, the can tiing, the freight, and besides getlln an inferior product. The opinion has become all to prevalent among the people of thi State that our section is not on where high class fruit and ? . getablc can be grown. We exclaim, when w see the beautiful packages of lim well-placed fruit and vegetabh "sent In" from other paris of th country, "South Carolina cantu grow such produce!" The lani however. does not lie with our Stat* hui with ourselves. We have all th natural requisites for the productio of the very best fruit and vegetable If we add to this n full share of ei ergy, coupled with a better undo standing ot the principles of fruit an vegetable growing, the result wonl prove a revelation. There would 1 no more craving in the spring tin for a plate of luscious strawberric no more longings for a rosy-cheek< peach: no more unquenched desiri lor "somethlnc green" in winter, ai above all, there would he no mo orders for canned goods. Insten there would be a happy, contente household with a table loaded wi the choicest and most wholeson diet that our country affords. lt is true that mn every fruit at vegetable will reach perfection each individual locality, but praci cally every kind can be grown f home use, and the majority of thei If given the proper treatment, can made to attain high finality. If one wishes to grow quality fri and vegetables, one must give thc quality care. Locate the fruit ai vegetable garden in a place all Itself; plant desirable varieties the proper way. so as to have a ce tlnuous succession, and devote them tho same care and attenti that is given the standard Reid croi and it will yield a doubly proportlc ate income. No area on the farm worthy of more careful study. T vain" of a few acres wisely develop as a home garden can lie made abc ten times as groat as the same ai devoted to ord i uti ry farm crops, carefully planned garden will ci tribute something to the bill of f: throughout the entire year, maki the financial savings worthy of <.< sideral lon, There are other factors wb make desirable the maintenance 0 well-kept fruit and vegetable gard The growing of fruit and vegetal) In the home garden stimulates a 1( for natural objects which can be quired only through close assoc tlon with things of nature, as brought about in the cultivation garden plants.
