The Florida Fever.
THE NEW ELDoRADo WHERE PEOPLE
EXPECT TO MAKE FORTUNES.

EXPECT TO MAKE FORTUNES
Just at present Florida is the
E'dorado where men expect TO
make handsome fortunes. The
orange fever is just as strong as the
gold Itch, and fortunately it is a
little more substantial. People are
always glad to hear anything from
the land where fortunes ale made
in the organge groves There are
those who are content that it is a
craze and has nothing 10 it TO Jus
tify the enthusiasm expended on it;
but every year the number of en-
thusiasts increases as so does the
number OF Florida land vestors.
Yesterday afternoon an Appeal
reporter CHANGED upon Mr., William
S. Moore, of Bradenstown, Tennes-
see, who has just returned from a
two months visit to Florida, where
be has made investments. Like all
Of those who have visited the en-
chanted land, Mr. Moore is enthu-
siastic. To the queries of the re-
porter be cheerfully responded.
II went to Florida" said Mr..
Moore, "to look around I chose
this time of the year so that |
might see the country in its worst
light, and might not get any exag-
gerated notions 0: it. When | got
there [ put myself under the guid~
ance of Dr. Hill, brother of SEN
ator Hill, who knee all the ropes,
and who drove me around in his
buggy | got the pick of any kind
of land. You can get anything you
want there"
"Have you seen anybody there
who was. dissatisfied with his bar
gain?'
Il never saw anybody in Florida
who complained Of his plantation.
| saw an acre and half Of ground
covered with orange trees which
were not yielding fruit, which sold
for $1,000. The beauty about an
orange plantation is that the longer
it stands the more valuable it be-
comes The first year tree which
has taken growth is worth dollar.
Each year adds dollar to it. The
second year it is worth two dollars,
the third three, etc. An acre OF
yielding orange trees is worth $l0,-
600, and you can make the the trees
yield every month if you are SO
inclined think took the chang
ing step in my fortune when went

there?'
No, you are mistaken; it was
not as warm there as in Tennessee.

In his annual message to the leg
Islature of Massachusetts, Gov.
Long states that sheep raising in
mat State might be made very
profitable, if it were not for the
dogs. He therefore recommends
mat laws be passed to restrain all
oogs from running abroad off their
owners farms, and for the des-
Iuctlon of the worthless dogs which
ueStroy the valuable sheep. This
Is right. That one class of people
should be protected in their rights
Vi one kind of property which is de-
sTuctive of another and more valu'
aole property is against the spirit
u al good government.

danger Of using so deadly poison as
Paris green on such vegetables as the po.

would seem to be well grounded. But the

quantity used is so small as not to consti.

uble, and is not taken into the leaves and
stems, much less into the tubers. 4. There
is in most soils about one hundred times
as much iron as will neutralize the poison;
so that even il it were soluble, and was in
danger Of being absorbed by the plant, the
iron would preclude the danger. 6. Mil

not one has been hurt from the nse OF the

addition to all these provisions Of safety,
another reason has been published for the
relief OF timid persons, in the experiment,
made last autumn by Professor Thompson
Of the Worcester Institute for Analysis.
A hill of potatoes was opened last July by
H. G. Fish, of that place. and an ounce Of
the best Paris green put in and around and
on the potatoes, which were then about
one-third grown. They were dug in Sep

A few years ago large farms were all the
rage in England. Small holdings were
secuted, aud confident predictions were
made that they would share the fate of the
hand loom and the spinning wheel. Now
the tide has turned, and it islrunning as

farms cannot he let; small holdings are
snapped up ut once. According to Lana,
there is all through the west and the mid
lands the keenest competition for small
farms. and men who few years ago were

without possessing the capital necessary
for their proper cultivation, are now tax.

Exery Word true.

Yes, IL Is true that The editor OF the D's-
patch did, as the Wing AYERS, vote in 1876
against the ratification OF the amendment
TO the Constitution requiring the payment
Of capitation tax as prerequisite 10
voting; that he did afterwards like the
working OF that amendment so well that
he was In favor OF retaining 1t in the Con-
stltution; and that certain events oil 1851
and 1881 thoroughly reconverted him to
his original opinion. Whether Demo-
cratic Auditor could or would have accom-
plishcd the same object by his administra-
ton OF the law, IL is useless to speculate.
whether these several changes tend 10
prove that we arc a political weathercock
or not. certain il Is that we have not under
gone any such wonderful transformations
as the Wing. We didn't support HANCOCK
In 1850 as measure preliminary TO sup
porting ARTHUR in 1882.
More We are opposed to requiring any
question to be raised in our Democratic
primary elections as TO whether voter has
Maid his capitation tax or not. II his name
is upon the registration list, and he intends
TO support at the regular election the noml-
nees OF the Democratic party, then we say
let him vote in the primary election. Now
a-days the world moves very rapidly In
Virginia. We shall never, however, be
able to equal the Wing as a political
weathercock. We can't be moved by Re-
publican brcczcs. They are always Demo-
cratic winds that cause us TO revOlye.
