and the construction of railroads are
bringing in many negroes as laborers.
they come from Georgia and northern
Florida, and find ready employment in
clearing lands, and cultivating vegeta-

railroads. Three lines are now completed
and in operation. Other lines are pro-
lected and in process of construction.
The completed lines are the South Florida,
the Travares, Orlando and Atlantic, and
the St. Johns and Lake Eustis. These
railroads give good transportation faclll-

about perfected their plans to go into
camp July 20 atSuwannee Springs. Capt.
Call failed to accomplish much by bis
VISIT Tallahassee, and the companies will
have to bear their own expenses. Tents
will be obtained from the United States
garrison at St.Augustine. The railroad has
agreed to transport the companies for 1c.
per mile for each member. They will
adopt regular camp style of living, and
will be in camp one week. There is no
provision made in the State for such en-
campments, and there is very little to en-
