An ENJOYABLE Ride.

The most en- joyable ride that we nave
taken this season was to Ocala, via the
+. 5. II. X. Just enough rain to cool
the air had fallen on Wednesday after
noon, and as we whirled rapidly along,
the sharp contrast between this road
and the many inefiiciently equipped and
worse managed railway systems was ap-
parent. In the coach with US were five
Eng lisbmen, Ell route for one of the
growing towns along the line of this
railway.
Ii was really amusing to hear the eN-
CARNATIONS of wonder which We're FIRE ely
vented by the sons of Britain. In con
versation with one of the party we
learned that the objective point was near
Brooksville, where il was proposed to
plant out or buy an orange grove, and
jointly run it.
Mr.. - said that he was surprised at the
general thrifty appearance of the groves
that be had seen along the line of the
Florida Southern railway, and he should
induce some of his relatives and friends
in England to come to Florida.
At every point along the road we have
run upon the Superintendent, directing
new improvements. 1t looks as if the
watchword of the Florida Southern was
improvement" with big l.
1t is safe to say that few, If any of the
narrow gauge roads of this country can
compare with the Florida Southern in
speed, rolling stock and general eff
cheney. Under the liberal management
of such men as Messrs. Conant and
| Cromwell it is not at all surprising that
this system has pushed itself far to the
front

FINE SUMMER RESORT.
Major }. L.. Burton, ITS Founder
Gives Us Some Facts.

Major j. H. Burton, Its Founder,
Gives Us Some Facts.
Major J. l.. Burton, the founder of the
to-be-famous summer resort, Summer
Haven" was in town Yesterday, and i'll
an interview gave us a great many facts
about his section.
Summer Haven consists of "A tongue
of land, composed of broken shell for
the most part, lying between the Allan
tic ocean and the Matanzas river, at lis
widest point only $50 feet wide, and mar
rowing down To 80 feet in width, being
two and one-eighth mile long, and CON
tanning about "a acres. The strip is Il
high bluff, and is easy of access by boat
either from the cean or river. Survey
ors for the Pablo road are there this
week locating that road through there,
and thirteen miles of the East Florida
Land Company road have been compile
ted and an engine running on it. This
road will connect With the White road
about ten or twelve miles from Palatka,
so when completed these roads will make
Summer Haven the most accessible
point on the coast for the East Florida
people.
So far eighteen houses have been COM
pleteted, and five or six are now under
way. Major Burton says that at least
thirty houses will be completed by Octo-
Der LIST, and others will follow. On Mon
dav last there were sixteen arrivals, and
the season" will not close until the 18th
of October, a large number of those
there now having determined to stay I'M
til that time and new arrivals are con-
stantly coming in.
They are now boring for water, the
we'll being eighty feet deep, and good
fresh water is expected to be found at a
depth of $50 feet. The reports that lots
were being sold at extravagant prices,
the Ma or says, is untrue, as the lots con
tlnue to be sold at the same low prices
-S25 to $50 for lot 50x60 feet in size,
facing either the ocean or river.
The attractions there besides the ex
ceeding healthfu' ness of the place and
| the cool breezes. is the superior fishing,
hunting and bathing, and the splendid
oysters and CLAIMS. The Majo is salts
| fled that il is the most desirable summer
| resort in the world, and is anxious to give
the public the opportunity to go there.
He will return next Monday, and will

New York:
DEAR SIR-I desire, through you, to
thank the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany of New York for the promptness
with which they paid over to me the
sum of Ten Thousand Dollars, that be-
ing the amount for which the life of my
late husband, John X. Strous, was IN
cured in your company. Though only
insured for the short space of eight
months. they paid the entire sum before
the expiration of sixty days. which is
seldom done. l cannot find words to
express my feelings of gratitude to you
for inducing my husband to take out a
policy, thereby providing for myself. his
aged mother, and four little children.
l hope you may succeed in persuading
every married man in taking policy.
so that if it should please Providence to
call the father and husband, he could
die easier, knowing he was not leaving
his helpless family depending on stran-
gers.
Sincerely wishing the Mutual Life In
surance Company of New York all the
success it deserves, l am yours. most re-
spectfully, MARGARET ). STRouS.

establishment, and was gratified to note
the neat appearance of all the fire appa-

Ii Must be Seen To BE Appreciated.
:. III. Bacon, of San Mateo, returned
from the North yesterday, and on his
way home, made a brief call at The
NEWS office. He was in Charleston all
of one day and he saws the condition of
things there begSar all attempts at des-
cription. There can De no exaggeration.
The city is practically in ruins. The
great question is, how will Charleston be
able to rebuild: Her citizens, thousands
of them, have no means and can com
mand none. 1t is distressing TO contem-
plate. When Chicago was destroyed
outside capital flowed in and rebuilt the
city. But the situation at Charleston is
different. Outside capital Will not seek
investment there, or not enough to make
the work of rebuilding an easy task.
The citizens must rely largely on them
selves. Mr.. bacon says il looks disccur-
aging. Then, the laborers. and espe-
cially the colored, are demanding exor-
bitant prices for labor, which will add
greatly to the cost of Ie-conslruction.
Common laborers demand So and 50 per
day, and are receiving $3.50 to $l.75.
The aid to the needy Is apparently de-
moraIizing a good portion of the colored
population. The women apply and re-
ceive aid from the relief committees and
the men loaf about. 1t is it'll difficulty
that men can be had for loading and I'M

tive Committee.
About ten or twelve members of the
County Democratic Executive Commit
tee met at the Fireman's Hall yesterday
noon, and arranged the preliminary work
for the opening campaign.
There were three appointments made
for the Congressional speakers, one day
at Pomona, one at Palatka and another
at Clark's mill, in West Putnam, the
dates to be fixed 10y the Congressional
Executive Committee. The appoint
ments for the county candidates, for one
day in each precinct, was left in the
hands of the central committee, who
will publish the appointments as soon rs
they can Ice arranged.
After discussing several other questions
of interest TO the members, AZ to their
duties the committee AL journed to meet
in two weeks, when the reports of pre-
cinct work will be in and the active
work of the campaign be begun.
We would suggest that the quest on
of the foi nation of Democratic clubs in
the var ious precincts be looked after and
provision made for holding the ''side-
show" election made at the next meeting
of the committee. There will probably
be "a number of candidates for the posi-
tions to te filed, end they should he

strength before the people.
