Building Upon the Sand.


IT'S we'll to WOO, 'tis well to wed,
For SO the world has done
Since myrtles grew, and roses blew,
And morning brought the sun.
But have care, ye young and fair,
Be sure ye pledge with truth:
Be certain that your love will wear
Beyond the days Of youth.
For # We give not heart for heart,
AS we'll as hand for hand,
You'll find you've played the "unwise part,
And "built upon the sand"
'Tis we'll to save, tits we'll to have
\ goodly store of gold,
And hold enough of stirling stuff
For charity is cold.
But place not all your hope and trust
. In what the deep mine brings;
We cannot live OH yellow dust
Unmixed with purer things.
And he who piles up wealth alone,
Will often have to stand
Beside his Golfer chest, and own
Tis "built upon the sand"
IT'S good to speak in kindly guise,
And soothe whateer we can;
For speech would bind the human MIND,
And love link man to man.
But stay not at the gentle words,
Let deeds and language dwell;
The one that pitieS starving birds
Should scatter crumbs as we'll.
The mercy that is warm and true
Must lend helping hand;
For those who talk, yet fail to do,
But 'bnild upon the sand"

The Discussion.
Mr.. ". C. BENET

said he had not much to say on the subject.
Gave it as Sam Jones' opinion that those who
claimed the homestead and were agents for
their wives and boarded with them, were des-
tined to climate of warmer temperature than
this latitude. That he agreed with the essay
list and thought the homestead and lien laws
should be repealed.

ture increase of stock, and the products OF
our labor. The arguments for the repeal OF
the law savored too much of class legislation
in favoriug the rich against the laborer.
MR.. NJ. P. DEDRUHL
said he was in favor of the homestead law but
thought it ought to be so restricted and limit
ed as not to be abused. He had not definite
ly made up his mind in regard to the lien law.
MR.. W. P. CALHOUN
said that in the outset he would state that he
found great fault with our government both
National and State in the tendency which
they now had of interfering with the private
atfuirs of individuals. Matters that should
be left to the citizen, were being handled by
the government, in such matters as the Blair
educational bill, homestead and lien law. The
prerogatives of our law making leaders only
extended to "the welfare" Of our citizens, as
regards theprOtection of their life, liberty and
property. The citizen should not be taught
to rely upon the government for his credit and
the education of his children.
AS to the Homestead law he was unable at
the present time to express any definite
opinions, tut at the same time he thought
that il had it's advantages as well as It's draw
backs.
The lien law he thought was a complete
failure. This law had been passed in 1866
and under it., corn cribs and meat houses had
disappeared. He was decidedly of the opinion
that farming could not be successfully carried
on without the farmer would raise his supplies
for home consumption at home. Very few
of our farmers now did this Abol-
ish this law and the right of the farmer to
mortgage his crops and home supplies would
be raised by him and his financial condition
putupon n sound basis, independent of the
merchant and the lien law As matters now
stand the farmer was a slave to this law and
his individuality destroyed. The citizen
should not look to the government for support
but he should support the government for the
protection given him in the peaceable enjoy
ment of liberty and property. Before the
passage of the lien law our farmers raised
their own supplies at home and had no need
of it, but since its passage things had been
gradually growing worse. This plainly show
cd that when you interfered with the self
reliance of the individual you did him
harm.
Why should the State give the farmer
credit in preference to any ohtcr class of men?
Why should it give the merchant lien upon
the crop of the farmer in preference to the
doctor and the lawyer? All classes of men
should sail on the same boat. The repeal of
the lien law he had no doubt would have a
wholesome effect upon the country and while
it might pinch the farmer for while in the
end would be greatly to his benefit and make
him an independent man which he canuot now
claim to be.

The Florida Fruit Exchange.

When the Florida Fruit Exchange
was organized last year with flourish
of trumpe,s and flag bearing the words
"honcst dealing" was unfurled, the pa
pers all over the State, and all the
intlence of individuals were worked
to boost" it.
We. in common with all other people,
who had the interest and welfare of
Florida at heart, hoped that this organi-
zetion of fruit growers,would at last Sc
cure honest dealing with the producers
Of fruit. We are sorry 10 say that wa
have been mislead
An instanceJof the mitch Wanted hon
esty Of this organization occurred in Ma
rion County. One of the editors of this
paper, along the first of january last,
had shipped on his account twenty
boxes of oranges. He was formally no.
titled that thcv had been received in
good condition. To make long story
short he was notified from time to time
that on account Of so much frozen fruit
being in the market his fruit, although
good, could not bs sold and they had Ur-
dered it held until the scare was over.
After a great deal Of correspondence in
which the shipper had to threaten to
put the claim in the hands of an attorney
the Exchange managers said they would
order the sal, Of the fruit. Four months
after the shipment account sales il rem
dered which shows loss to the shipper
of nearly s. on the lot,
We openly proclaim tho Florida Fruit
Exchange a den of robbers. We submit
this transaction as proof Of it. They
admit that the fruit was received in
good condition; they hold it four months
aud then marked account sales frosted
aud show loss Of Si.Gj on twenty
boxes.
We submit to any honest man whether
or not this fruit coull have been kept for
four months il il had been frosted. The
fruit could not be kept that length OF
time il il was Frosted. We denounce
this business as barefaced thievery, and
we propose topublish the Fruit Exchange

For this purpose shall visit the coun-

have frequent applications for informa-
tion relative to the supply Of certain
kinds OF lumber in this State. especially
sweet gum and sour gum.
The increased scarcity of the choicel
kinds of Northern timber will result in
greater demand for the products of the
Southern forests, and, therefore, it is de,
srable that our timber resources be more
fully presented to public notice.
