The Winters Travel South Beginning
in Good Earnest.
Over 100 tourists pas ed through Savan-
nah yesterday en- route to Florida. A large
number are stopping over in the city to
ascertain if possible the best portion of the
state to visit. The yellow fever at Jackson
vile is proving not as muca a barrier to
visitors as it was thought earlier that it
would. The greater number go via Thomas
vile, but they find their way to Jackson
vile and st. Augustine. The hotel mon
here are somewhat disappointed at travel
being no heavier to Florida, but they
account for 1t by the exceedingly mid
wea her north.
"Travel is about ten days late said
hotel man Yesterday. Earlier in the season
we expected by this time that there would
be ii big rush for Florida, but since the
winter is little colder than the summer that
preceded it we cannot expect such a rush.
The travel will begin, l think, within The
coming two weeks anyhow, and | think 1t
will be lively"
The hotel men all say the weather has had
everything to do with the slow travel, but
a certain number of tourists go to Florida
every year, and they will put in their APP
pearauce before the season closes. 1t is ex-
pected that the return tide of travel will
begin earlier this season than usual, and
that the majority Of tourists Will Fl lish their
visit TO the south by several-day stop-over
in Savannah. They will probably leave
Florida as early as the middle of March, or
a large number Of them will leave then,
and they will make short stops at Thomas
vile, Savannah and Charleston, and remain
until the first part, or, maybe, the middle
of April. A party of six from Manchester,

will DO met by q strong objection u behalf
Of the state and the plaintlHs counsel.
Public opinion has shifted since the killing
Of Lane. and Arriugton's conduct is now as
strongly condemned as 1t was justified at
the time Of the tragedy. William NJ. Ham

young Lane aud Daniel W. Hountrsc, so
licitor general, the state, and Messts. Den

made every effort 10 tHkn a coIorei man

frustrated their bold attempt. He Is looked
upon rs n daring aud fearless man. He did
not offer for reelection at the recent county
election and has resigned his commission as
sheriff and will remove to his farm u short
distance out Of town.
Arrin ston left town the day after killing

to remain day or two until the excite
