FORTUNES FLORIDA.
Amos J. Cummings i'll NewYork sun.

The fortunes reapcd in Alabama since
the war are only 1.-THE OF those to be
made in the South. They are found in
every Southern State, from the Patapsco
to the Rio Grande. no State has been
more fruitful Of them in proportion to
population than Florida. Millions upon
millions have rewarded those investing
in orange groves and truck farms
Lemons and lines are factors in the
wealth of the State, and rich fields Of
sugar cane and cotton indicate almost
untold resources. The development of
the Atlantic coast has been marvellous,
but it is being surpassed by the develop
ment OF the Gulf coast The State is
being gridironed with railroads, and
money is beginning to ooze from every
hummock, swamp, and upland. Plots
along the Indian River, 1870 miles below
ST. Augustine, that could have been
bought for a song eighteen years ago,
now bringing from $50 to 5000 a foot
Swamp lands that twelve years ago could
not have been given away now sell readi-
ly for from SIS to 5000 per acre. On the
west coast the increase in values is still
more marked. City lots in Tampa and
Charlotte lIarbor are held at figures that
would make real estate spectators in
Birmingham and Chattanooga open their
eyes. The vast swamps and padded lakes
at the tail end of the peninsula are being
drained and turned into sugar plantations.
There are cocoa groves along Lake Worth
and the Miami River, and the fig, pine
apple, and banana are grown from Mos
quito Inlet southwark.

a Pair Of shoes.

Few OF our readers pay little attention to foot
wear except AS a necessary article of apparel, or
when it happens TO cover pretty loot and
fewer still ever give thought to the skilful work
men and intricate machinery now required to
produce perfect shoe.
Many would be astonished to visit large
factory such as w. l.. Douglas at Brockton.
Mass, TO see how the excellent shoes manufac.
tured by him could be made to sell at such low
pri :es. Never in the history of shoemaking in
this country have such values been put into foot
wear as are shown to-day, and never has a well
made and durable shoe been so completely
within the reach OF the masses as al the present
time.
You can get The Douglas shoe by mail when
an agent OF his is not convenient, direct from the
factory, at no cost to you other than the adver.
tised price, by simply stating the size and width
you usually wear, and enclose price, or if you
prefer send postal card and directions will be
sent for self measurement, thus securing a per-
feet fit.

The watermelon crop OF Carolina,
Georgia and Florida is rapidly getting
too large-more than the market re-
quires, says the New Orleans Times
Democrat. There is profit in the busi-
ness, but what with the high freight rates,
and the large yield of melons during
favorable season, the profit Is not as
great as the melon growers would IKE,
and the latter are looking arond for some
other use to which they can put their
superfuous fruit.
COL VIM. Duncan, OF South Carolina,
has made suggestion in this matter
which has received the approval of a
number of Carolina newspapers and mel
on growers-this is the manufacture of
syrup from the melon.
Col. Duncan insists that the melon can
be more easily and more generally raised
than the sugar cane, and as it grows
above ground it is more conveniently
cultivated than the sugar beet. He has
experimental in the manufacture of
syrup from melons and finds 1t excellent,
more like preserves than the cane syrup,
he says, and likely to become popular
with everyone who tries it. He has made
the syrup and sold it, and found no diff
Guilty in getting good price for it.
Nor does the value of the melon cease
here, for after the juice has been ex-
tracted the refuse remains, excellent for
feeding to stock, and as stock food
repaying the cost ofmaking the syrup.
Figuring on an average melon crop of
one South Carolina county, Barnwell,
Col. Duncan estimates the profit of the
farmers if their crops were made into
syrup at 100000, which is more than it
would yield were the melons sold as
fruit.
These figures are likely to stagger the
melon growers, but they are backed mp by
Col. Duncan from his own personal ex-
perience. 1t is true that these expert
ments were on small scale, and it may
be that if everyone goes to making mel
on syrup it will prove a drug on the
market
The suggestion, however, appears to
have met with favor on the South Allan
tic coast. The melon growers OF that
section have had a great deal Of trouble
with their crops during the height Of the
season, and have received very low prices
therefor, and it is highly probable that
with this experience they will accept Col.
Duncan's suggestion, and test the fact
whether the manufacture of melon syl lp
can be carried on protitably on large
scale.
