ORANGES AND THE TARIFF.
Florida Grove Owners in Convention
at Ocala.
®en. Bullock Indorses All the Sched
ules of the Wilson Bill Except That
Relating to Orangas—He Thinks a
Tariff of 50 Cants a Box Would
Afford Sufficient Protection Mr.
Haisley Fears a Republican Scheme
Back of the Convention.
DOcala. Fla., Feb. 6.—The orange grow
ers put in four solid hours this
afternoon in convention. The court
house was comfortably filled. Gen.
Bullock presided and M. E. Gillet was
secretary. The prominent growers present
from outside of Marion county were. Gen.
Tilson. Ma . Hooks aud William Bennell
of Lake county; Maj. Magruder of Rock
ledge, M. U. Eiland of Dade City, Dudley
W Adams of Orange and James Hayden
Of Providence, R. I. Quite a delegation
was up from Citrus, and Marion was
largely represented by its most intelligent
and successful growers. Brains rather
than numbers held sway.
Gen. Bullock, on assuming the chair,
proceeded to show that incidental pro
tection was a cardinal principle of the
Democratic party, and as such, he, as a
democrat, did not oppose a duty, but
favored it on fruit. He thought the ma
jority of democratic orange growers
favored protection on oranges, as evi
denced by the action of the Florida legis
lature in 1891. asking congress to put $i a
box on them. He spoxc of the convention
of orange growers, which assembled at
the Ocala exposition, endorsing a tan f
for protection on oranges. If so
vital a question four years ago with dire
prospects ahead for the industry, was it
not much more needed now? He thought
a duty of 5u cents a box would afford pro
tection. He is a firm believer in the pres
ent Wilson bill, except in this one partic
ular, as oranges were not a raw commod
ity, but a finished product. He said he
did not object to the best of imported
fruit coming to this country, but did pro
test against the now objectionable im
ported fruit coming into competition with
ours, and causing it to be sold at depre
ciated prices and at a loss to the growers.
AN INFANT INDUSTRY.
Then, too, orange growing was anew
Industry; it had much to contend against,
and hence should be fostered. He spoke
of the leading importers and fruit specu
lators of New York demanding police reg
ulations over the in tiscriminate bringing
in of all kinds of foreign fruit trash. If
they saw and felt its evils, then let the
tariff regulate or exclude it. He believed
by excluding the poor fruit that on good
imported fruit the government would get
much more duty and aid a worthy domes
tic industry and benefit the consumer.
He was convinced that close
and consistent organization of the
growers was the only thing
that would assist the cause He had ex
pected more persons present, especially
representatives of the Flor
ida 1* ruit Exchange. in which
he believed, but a letter received
just then assured the gathering that that
body was in full sympathy with the in
tent and spirit of the meeting. He said
that Messrs. Bielby and Morrison had
been requested to be present but they
did not show up. Gen. Bullock spoke
nearly two hones and deeply interested
his hearers, rea Hng extracts which sus
tained ; s position on the question of
market i g the orange and lemon crop* of
Floriua.
MR. APAMS REAPS A PAPER.
He then introduced Dudley \V. Adams,
of Orange county, known to every orange
grower in Florida. He read from manu
script a woll-prepared address, full of
good points as viewed by one who has
far reaching aid implicit confidence in
the virtues of protec ion He said a con
dition confronted the industry in Florida.
It was the unprecedented crop of 1898,
and its enhancement ten times over in the
maturity of the young trees uow piantod.
The question was too alarming
for him to answer. While no
one thing was the cause
this condition,' he oelieves that most
growers expected good results from a
tariff, and one trouble was some were for
a revenue and some for a prohibitive
duty. He did not believe in tbe former.
To illustrate that a high duty would not
make fruit that much more expensive to
the consumer. he instanced the
tariff on wire nails and steel
rails. Protection would stimulate
prod uction. but home competition would
regulate the price of the fruit. By ex
cluding tbe foreign fruit it would leave
us the entire market, and no underpaid
Dago labor to regulate or reduce tho
wages of American workmen. The con
dition of tbe laboring men enabled them
to buy and eat fruit. It had been a lux
ury, now it become sa necessity of healthy
diet. He instanced protectign on salt
and wliat it had done for Americtm labor.
He did not believe a special duLy could be
had on oranges if other products did not
get their share, for Florida had only a few
members a rainst 4utl. The only wav was
protection for all. He said the present
con ress had made good the issue on
which they were elected.
A REPUBLICAN SCHEME FEARED.
W. P. Haisley then took the t oor and
Bade things lively. He repudiated pro
te tion. aud said the question should
ue.er have been brought up, because no
two men of opposite politics could agree.
By the applause that greeted Mr. Adams
he could teli who in the audience were
democrats and who were republicans.
He believed in the Wilson bill, and we
could afford and should be willing to
suffer for a principle and the benefit of
all. He imagined he saw something
underneath this tariff talk. The
republicans were up to something,
for being smarter than the democrats,
wires were being laid te throw obstacles
in the wa.v of the passage of the Wi son
bill He belie.es in organisation, close
and undivided, so that it would practic
ally lontrol tbe crop in the state and i,s
transportation. Hub lieves in giving all
the fruit to that line of transportation
which would make the best through
rates. He believed if this was done in
side of three years a box of oranges
would be sent to New York for 26 cents,
all it was worth to carry it. He
said Florida had nothing to
fear from competition from California and
Mexico. He had been there, in. estiguted
the subject and knew what he was talk
ing about. He believed and practiced this
theory. He had grown oranges since 1875.
If be could not sell at Ins price in the
grove he let them rot. True, he had not
made any money, but no one fattened o f
of bis property. If ail did this the orange
industry would Dot now languish.
Gen. Tilson. of Lees ,ur_ r , be.ieved in
the fruit exchange. He believed in its
orguDizatiou ana that all should join it,
for tue greater the streng.h of the ex
change the greater the power it would
have to help the fruit growers in every
particular.
Maj. nooks spoke in the same strain.
BCFFCM'S PLAN.
F. C. IJuffum. of Stanton, touched on
the tariff'. He spoke of tho German
chemist s discovery of the art ot creating
citrir acid irom sugar instead of lentou ;
the di..irence in wages in Italy ami
America, and also the difference in the
cost of trausj or.ution. His plan was for
the orange growers to create a director;,
oi fifteen to twenty-oue to represente er.\
fruit interest, tne only paid o i.cers to hi
the secretary and general manager, h
to conduct ail freight matters, as
! well as the buying of all supplies.
1 Unite every grower and bin 1 him to the
I organization, charge a fee of #1 for mem
bership and s."> yearly dues, which, in
cluding the 1.000 growers of the state,
would create an organization that would
dictate the terms to every opposing
interest. Sell fruit at home or abroad,
but not consign a box. The
exchange was good, ♦ but it did
not have unanimous support to see that
1 bor did its part as well as the carriers.
The latter did not handle the frui. care
fully enough, if the transportation com
panies did not make reasonable rates, by
an indissoluble oody taking in every
grower, this organization couid command
capital at a low rate of interist
to build railroads and buy steam
ships. He knew he couid build
a railroad at the rate of $5,000
a mile. He said parallel the old lines
if necessary and own their own rolling
stock. He instanced the rate of 75 cents
a box on oranges to - New York, and
bringing back a barrel of flour for one
quarier that amount. He believed in this
way that oranges could be got to market
for 25 cents a box. Then control the
shipments, only sending the fruit for
ward as it was bought at a fair price, not
dumping it when not needed.
William Bennett of Okahumpka, spoke
and was opposed to auction sales of fruit.
George Badger then proposed ihata
committee of fifteen be named from the
floor, to come together and formulate a
plan of closer union and of standing. The
committee consists of W. Bennet, chair
man; Gen. Bullock, F. C. ButTum, M. E.
Gillett, E. B. Foster. Maj. Rooks, George
Snook. C. B. Magruder, Dr. Gilliam. Dug
lass Eiebelburger, Judge W. S. Bullock,
Mr. Gaitkill, James Hayden, of Provi
dence, R. 1., and George Badger. The
committee is now in session.
GASTON ACQUITTED.
The Evidence Not Sufficient to Con
vict the Liberian Moses.
Atlanta. Ga., Feb. 6.—Rev. Benjamin
F. Gaston, the Liberian Moses who was
to have led the colored people of Georgia
to the promised land of Africa, was re
leased from jail by order of Judge West
moreland to-day. The charge against
Gaston was cheating and swindling, pre
ferred by some of his fo.lowers, who
claimed that they had paid him the nec
essary SSO to transport them to Africa
ai cording to his terms, but have never
seen Africa nor their SSO yet. Hundreds
of negroes thronged the court house and
lined the street for a block
in front yesterday and to-day during
the trial and there was great
excitement when he was acquitted this
afternoon for the lack of sufficient evi
dence.
Gaston was arrested in New York and
brought on to Atlanta for trial. He
claimed to represent Elder, Dempster <fc
Cos., of London, and said that he could
draw upon a fund of $70,000,000 which
had been collected in the southern
states and put aside just after the war
for the purpose of colonizing the negroes
in Africa. Gaston is a very smooth citi
zen. He lias wonderful influence over his
followers, who regard him as a prophet.
He collected SB,OOO in Atlanta, which he
claims is deposited in a Washington bank
awaiting the great day of departure.
A MIRROR OF QUITMAN.
Bank Offloara Chosen—An Arrest for
Forgery—Artesian Water.
Quitman, Ga., Feb. 6.—The stockholders
of the Merchants’ and Farmers' Bank of
this place met to-day and elected the fol
lowing directors: J. H. McCall, J. H.
Haddock, W. T. Golding, Sr., S. M.
Young, W. W. Walker, W. R. Talley and
W. L. Wilkinson. At a subsequent meet
ing the directors elected J. H. McCall
£ resident, B. F. Hitch vice president, Jeff
htvis cashier, and J. R. Davis assistant
cashier.
A white man named J. S. Scarborough
was arrested to-day under a warrant
taken out by the Bans of Quitman,
charging him with forgery. On
June It. 1892, Scarborough presented to
the Dank a check lor $51.75, to which the
name of John Finla.vson, a large planter
of Jefferson county, Florida, was signed.
Mr. Finlayson pronounced the signature
a forgery. Scarborough was in Quitman
to-day, and was arrested and jailed. He
protests that he is not guilty.
Quitman is now getting a steady flow of
from 130 to 150 gallons of good water from
her artesian well. The pump used is a
Pohle air lift, which brings the water in
a steady flow from a depth of 2HO feet.
The water has not been analyzed, but it
gives every evidence of being pure, clear
and soft.
TWO FIRES AT THOMASVILLE.
A Lime and Cement Store and a Dog
House Burned.
Thomasville, Ga., Feb. 6.—Thomasville
had two fires before day this morning.
The first was the dog house on the prem
ises of Gov. Merriam. The other was the
lime and cement house of C. H. Williams,
owned by T. M. Mcin.osh, and insured in
the Guardian Company, for S!H). Wil
liams \jras insured in the Sun Company
for S3UO. The insurance will cover tne
loss. The tires were plainly of incendiary
origin, and seem to have been set by the
same person.
About s o'clock last night Mr. Palin ran
a ne.ro from his carriage shop while in
tho act of setting it on tire. The negro
escaped.
Steps were taken to-day to organize a
canning factory in Thomasviilo.
FLAGLER’S NEW HOTEL.
The Lake Worth Region now Open to
Tourists.
Palm Beach, Fla., Feb. 6.— On Thurs
day, Feb. 15, the American Riviera will
receive another jewel in its crown. That
is tho day set for the formal opening of
the Hotel Royal Poinciana at this place—
the most enchanting spot in all the beau
tiful Lake Worth country. Ll'he lake
itself has been described as "a blue blos
som in a girdle of green," but it is the
"girale of green” that possesses the
greater charm. Lake Worth is
only another Indian river, really a contin
uation of the scriesof long' estuaries
which skirt the east coast of
Florida from St. Augustine southward
over a strotch of nearly 400 miles; but its
waters are clearer than those of the
rivers, aud it more neatly approaches a
lake in other of iis characteristics. What
it true of the sub-tropical character of the
lower hall of the Indian ri. er is stii! more
true of Lake Worth—in fact, ,he Lake
Worth and Bay Uisca.vne region is really
a gem of the tropics in a sub-tropical set
ting. There is nothing exactly liite it
anywhere else under the sun.
i.akc Worth runs parallel with the
ocean and is ahoht twenty-four miles in
length. I, is separated from the sea by
a narrow strip oi hammock uind, notover
a half a mile wide at any point, and in
some places it is not more than a hundred
A Death at Eden.
Eden, Feb. 6.— Mrs. Missouri I. Harvey,
nee Miss Shuman, died at her residence
near here to-day. Her death was not un
expeited. as she has been a great sufferer
ior years from consumption.

yards from lake to ocean. The narrow
neck or jeninsula forms one side of the
"girdle of green" which surrounds Lake
Worth, and it is on this girdle that Mr.
11. M. Flagler has built his hotel—tha
Koval Poinciana— its location and sur
ro .ndimrs >eing beyond doubt the finest
in the world.
All about Palm Beach the face
of the country is de> idedly tropi
cal in its aspect. Tbe old in
digenous palmuitoes, graceful and
beautiful always have had their charms
reinforced by the planting of hundreds
of coc-oanut palms, which are now in a
most thriving condition and highly orna
mental. Besides these there are thou
sands of other varieties of trees and
shrubs skirting the more imposing
growths—orange, lemon, lime, guava,
mango, sa|iodiila, alligator pear, sugar
apple. mammee apple, date palm, fig and
t anana—while the pineapple here attains
its highest development and its finest
flavor Flo wers ol the rarest kinds are
also plemiful here, and the wild tropical
bloom is most exquisite in its coloring.
A't one point on the lake shore there is a
garden containing o.er five hundred va
rieties of the cactus family.
In the midst of all these natural
beauties, with the waters of the lake al
most washing its feet and the ocean
rolling in behind it. stands the Royal
Poinciana. It has a frontage on the west
of 450 feet, and is six stories hizh. It
contains 480 sleeping rooms and 100 bath
rooms. It overlooks the ocean through
the vista of a broad palm-liped avenue,
and its position combines the best scenic
features of the beautiful east coast. 4he
groun s are adorned with lordly ranks of
magnificent cocoanut palms, bearing
their fruit in every stage, from the great
ripe nuts down to the green clusters of
a orn si e. and the tasseling
.yellow blossoms that resemble
those of our Indian corn only
much larger. Here are growing every
species of tropical and semi-tropical flow
ers. No situation surpasses its combi
nation of lovely attractions—the perpet
ual ocean oreeze. the pure water, the good
fishing, the shady avenues, the wonderful
variety of curious trees, and plants in
their full maturity of noble growth, the
profusion of tropical fruits and the suc
cession of vegetables throughout the
year. All these make this spot
a fascination; in fact, space
fails one to tell of the foliage plants of
brilliant red, yellow and purple, ten feet
high, of the naming red, broad-leaved
hibiscus, of the moon flowers and the
morning glories—creeping everywhere at
their own sweet will—of the white and
red oleanders, twenty feet high and
spreading to an equal width, of the royal
and magnificent poinciana—a gorgeous
flowering tree irom which the hotel lakes
its name—all serving to proclaim that
"here, indeed, is Florida, in its own un
questioned right—the land of flowers!”
The superb train service of the Jack
son ville, St. Augustine and Indian River
railway is now in opera lion as far south
as Ft. Pierce on the Indian River, pas
sengers at this point taking the connect
ing steamers ior Jupiter and Lake Worth.
In a very short time the train service
will be extended to West Palm Beach,
just across the lake from the Royal
Poinciana, and then the southernmost
hotel in the American Riviera will be
within forty hours of New York city by
rail.
