FRIDAY, Al’ItIL 1H, 1890. SOUTH FLORIDA. THE GARDEN SPOT OF THE “Land of Floworts ” as the Editors Saw It. A few minutes run brought us to Orlando, one of Florida’s boom cities, where we were mot by a lot of the best Citizens to welcome the Georgia pen-pushers. A table burdened with oranges, cigars, pipes and tobacco awaited u:; in the depot, and after a speecli of welcome and one of thunks, the town was turned over to us fur an hour or so. All around in tins section along the 8. F. It. It. can be seen the finest or¬ ange groves we saw 011 our trip. Im¬ mediately around Orlando and Winter Park are PS as pretty lakes as can be found in any part of the world. >Ve arrived at Kissimmee at 1:30 p. m. and dined at the best hotel in the place. Ileic we were left to rest un til t o’clock; I he l> iy- look III the town and found il to be a nice little city of several thousand inhabitants, situated on the border of lake Tohopnkallga which gives it the only outlet, to the Gulf of any city in that section. 'This Is becoming quite a railroad center and the town is growing. Like most every town in Florida, about “cvery olhei ” man you meet is a native Geor¬ gian. This place la the homo "of the great Drainage Co. now doing such great work In putting the Florida muck lands In a condition to cultivate. . Tlie celebrated St. Clouds sugar plantation is si tuated <> miles south¬ east of this place. The land produces six thousand pounds of sugar per acre, with the usual quantity of molasses. The largest mill makes 40 thousand pounds of tho vury finest granulated sugar por day. There are about one thousand acres planted in cane. This is a very small fraction of the dralnagi F!-' ul that is now drained, and then in immense vh vet to bo thaii .‘,m * now cutting canals. About night of tlw 27th wo arrived at Tampa, and the llrst thing that caught our eye was tho Tampa Bay Hotel, an immense structure as pretty as wo ever saw, now being built on the west bank of Hillsborough river. It will cost thousands of dollars when completed. (In Its cinstruction ten tier cent, of the Bessemer steel beam output of the United States for lrMS was used.) It covers over four or live acres of ground. Our headquarters were made at the Almeria hotel, tho best in the city and a good hotel it was. A majority of the party went on to Port Tampa, nine miles farther where they took aGulf steamer for Key West and Cuba. T he 38th was spooL In viewing Tampa and Port Tampa, and Ybor city, the Hav¬ ana of the United States. Wo met Mr. W. T Landrum former¬ ly of Greene county, but now a f ivor ed conductor on the South Florida R. R. with headquarters at Tampa, lie is well pleased with his Gulf port home and has a paying position with an ex¬ cellent company.

Tampa has grown in the past six years from a dry, coast town to a thriv¬ ing city of llJKHt Inhaditnnts and the most important port in South Florida, We had the pleasure of meeting Col. H, it.

However \ W(i rna ,),. |,im understand and he made ub a cigar of his material where the . hands , were . turning • out „ , cigars „• that , retaii at 50 cents each. There were 140 hands busily at work making cigars of all grades, in the largest factory we visited. The boxes are made and printed there and the cigars completed from the raw material to the cigar that is handled by our dealers. It will lie surprising to onr readers to know that cigars are more costly in lampa than they are hero. It may be that the quality i« better but we can’t detect it and what is the difference. IIon. Geo. T. Barnes sent 11 s a copy of his speech against the admission of Wyoming for which we foul grateful. Rhode Island has gone Democ¬ ratic. That sounds like a carmoade and a torch-light procession in the South in 1802. CoNOBKssMAN Samuel J. Itindali died in Washington, D. G. last Sunday morning at 5 o’clock. Ho was a true statesman and a Christian gentlman. Hurrah for Gaorgia Military: the Macon Cadets carried off the 82,000 priz« at the Jacksonville drill. The second prize was won by the Atlanta Kilt r arid the third prize by the Gate City Guards. Betsy Cox, and old Colored woman died near Greeneville S. C. Saturday. She was 1 JO years old and when the Declaration of Independence was de¬ clared was a pightly house-girl. She remembered many incidents of the revolution. It is barely possible that if the Con obu bill passes and cotton seed drops to 10 cents a bushel, the negroes of tho South may realize the Republican party is not their freind. It is bareley possible 1 ut not very probable.—Au¬ gusta Evening News. The Conger bill is an example of what the Western hog-raisers would like to do with the Southern cot ton planters. The former wants a full hand tnnoapoly and are supporting, a bill that tends to pull down a enterprise rn man Inns in the to iw.v„ South, ■.Vi.'lv' yot th oon i Util and meat lie (f in from the We.w Put blows at nnoa ^inst and work faithfully to 1< using the Western corn and meat.

Of courso the people know better than to expect any relief from a Senate largely composed of million¬ aires who have made their money by trusts or himilfu’ monopolies. The Senate is too far from the people to have a fellow feeling for them. Stilt, another useless office is pro posed in Congress.
