Holcombe Hits Florida Hard.

l have just returned from an
other three-months trip, but not
in Florida this time. / have been
enjoying the balmy atmosphere of
South Georgia, where there is an
abundance Of milk and butter
from COWS that do not look like
the gable end of starvation, and
old smoke-bacon and cabbage that
would make a dyspeptic smile.
I have not seen all the comments
on nay interview, but | have not a
word to take back; and if l could
import a few of the long, yellow,
skinny men from Florida. who
have not enough blood in them to
run the machine, I could prove it
every VOID in truth. Where is
the man who has -disrroyed q sin
gle statement 1 have made? L
have been there, and when T. see a
thing I know it. tell you, / do
not want to live in any country
where they have to suck lemons
to draw up their appetites to fit
their rations of rice and grits and
pay three dollars per week for
condensed milk and Horsford's
bread preparation. And then
sleep with green Lizards playing
hide and seek over you just like
you were an old log. May be you
never had the fun OF waking up
in the night and pulling Lizard
out of your shirt bosom. People
can get used to anything they say,
but I tell you when a North Geor-
gia man goes down there he can't
keep from scratching for feas and
knocking at gallinippers. I do
not mean to run down Florida on
the money business, but what is
money worth when a man has TO
live In torment to get it? l don't
believe I told you how they
churn. They start a boy round
the house with a quart bottle,
shaking it as he runs, and after a
while the milk is poured out and
few greasy looking eyes skim
med off and called butter. If you
will go down to Middle Florida
and look at the people you VIII be
satisfied it is not the country you
are looking for. The natives are
poor, sickly looking people, with
skins as yellow as pumpkin and
do not look Ike they had strength
enough to blow their nose. They
are tough, though. A man that
can sit down with a pint of feas
hopping around i'll the legs Of his
pants and a dozen mosquitoes. OH
his ears and not be disturbed is
obliged to be tough. The people
down there think it is all right,
they do not know any better.
They think it is the same way ev-
erywhere, and yet nine men out of
ten you meet want to sell out
Orange-growing is like gold-min-
ing; every man expects to make
fortune by selling out to big
ger fool than he is. Some of them
succeed BY finding d yankee who
has more money chan brains and
makes a good thing out Of it.
Well, Tn glad when he does, for
a fellow that can sharp yankee
deserves a blue ribbon. Mr.. Ed
tor, I have no unkind feelings to-
wards the people Of Florida;
they treated me kindly, they can t
help having feas and chinch bugs
and such things and / do not
blame them for it. But if they
don't let me alone l will tell the
whole truth yet.-H. G. H., in
Gwinett Herald.

FAIRPLAY.
Sile Curtis Was Bound to Have 1t if it

Gilt up!
1t was in 1864, down in front of

them by hiding in a thieket. AZ

as he looked me over, holding his
carbine ready for a shot.
| nodded in the affirmative.

belt, and showed it to him.
He threw down his carhine,
drew navy from his own belt,
and, coming quite close, he said:

"Sorter one. I expect you'll

The two pistols made one report,

half unconscious, but realized that

"Shoo, now, but just raked his

he bent over me. "Say, Yank, We
must have another shot. You

l tried to rise up, but fell back,
and at that moment two bush
whackers pushed out Of the woods

loud talking, oaths, threats, and q

the cloth on my shoulder. Them

thing l remember was of being

Chateaubraiand the celebrated
French writer, had all the rare inno-
cence that sometimes goes with genius.
Among his most intimate friends was
the gifted and charming Madame Re
camier 1t was a regular habit with
him to spend his evenings at the ma
danes house, who evidently preferred
him to all other men, and who took
great delight in his company. His
growing fondness for the lady in ques-
ton became very conspicuous, and one
day friend asked him My dear
Chateaubriand, why do you not marry
Madame RacamieI ?" "Marry the
madame r exclaimed the author, in a
tone Of amazement; "why if ! should
marry the madame, ! would have no
place to spend my evenings !"

WASHINGTON, April 4.--The United
states coneul-general, Adamson, at
Panama, In answer TO an inquiry to.
day telegraphed Secretary whitney
that the force OF marines sent yesterday
from New York would be sufficient to
protect American interests In Panama.
The secretary will therefore not order

The marines summoned to the
Brooklyn navy-yard will. however,
be kept there several days 10 be In
readiness to be sent TO Panama should
1t become necessary.

and one civilian TO test the Dolphin in
another trial trip.
THE TRANSIT NOT PROTECTED.
WASHINGTON, April The presi-
dent of the Pacific Mail Steamship
company, in telegram to the secre-
tary of the navy to-day, says that he
has information FROM the agent of the
company at Panama that the transit
across the isthmus IL not sufficiently
protected.
PANAMA, April 4 Gen. Arizpuru,
tho chief of the revolutionists, still
holds Panama, and Ia organizing n gov
erument with excellent men In the
principal positions 1t Is, however, un-
certain how long he will be able to
maintain his power, az the Buenaven-
tura forces are expected to attack him.
The isthmus Is the battle-ground for
the government, the revolutionists and
the anarchists, and peace is probably
yet remote.
The news received yesterday % the
action of the United States in sending
forces 10 the lsthmus has caused much
excitement IA II 10 unknown here
whether Ii IL for conquest or the pro-
lection of American interests. The
latter is approved Of, but the former
will encounter resistance from all
parties, who threaten that the OBJ
ject be conquest they will burn pana-
ma and murder her citizens ~ they
did at Colon.
THE SITUATION Is CRITICAL.
The distress at Colon Is extreme.
Ten thousand people are homeless aud
are being proylsioned from Panama.
A line of refugees Is constantly arriv-
ing here. Tue lossea at Colon will
probably reach "a 400. 900. The for
eign insurance companies decline to
pay. II will be months before
business Ia resumed, consequently the
shippers will be heavy losers. Fail
ures are anticipated at Colon as onlya
| few OF the merchants have capital.
The fall OF Carthagena IL inevitable.
Panama sits between two tlres, and IL
able TO attack from one or occupation
by the other.
