No Conflict.

In one of the southern booa towns three or four years ago there was quite contest going on between two rival projected railroads. Maps of each line hung in the hotel office, and there, one day, a New York capitalist was discuss ing the prospects Of one of the roads.

Disston's Rice Lands.

The philadelphia Record says:
The proposed cultivation of rice on
some of the lands of Hamilton Dlsston IN
Florida has been under consideration
for some time by several prominent
South Carolina rice planters, among
them Colonel r. G. Barley, of Charles
ton, and the experiments have been OF
such a satisfactory character as to war
rant their embarking in the enterprise
A tract of about 1000 acres selected
in Osceola county, adjoining the sugar
plantations of Mr.. Dsston, will ne
nlanted with rice. Colonel Barley, who
was in this city last week, in consultation
with Mr. Disston, left last evening for the
region of the contemplated. rice planta-
ton, accompanied by number oil ex-
perienced South Carolina negro rice
planters.
The South Carolinians are very en-
thusiastic on the subject and contend
that the Florida lands will grow bet
ter crop than the best rice landsin South
Carolina. One particular advantage
which they claim that Florida lands
possess is the fresh water with which
thew can be irrigated in the event OF q

drouth. The danger which confronts
the South Carolina growers, Of destruc-
ton of the crop from salt water, is
absent in Florida. Another specia
advantage claimed for the Florida lands
is the extreme richness the soil, which
will admit of the growing of two crops
yearly.
The adaptability Of this soil to the
successful growing of rice was first dis
covered year ago, when the superin-
tendent in charge of tine Disston sugar
plantation, suggested the growing of
rice merely for the purpose of prepar-
ing the land for the planting of sugar
cane. Beyond the seeding no attention
whatever was paid to the cultivation of
the rice, yet so prolific was the yield
and so excellent the quality that the
attention of the South Carr linians was
attracted to it. Should their first ven
ture prove successful arrangements will
be made for the planting Of 10000 acres
next year.

The winter in South Florida stands in
danger Of losing its good character for
truck farming. 1t is all we'll enough to
say that the occasional frost is good for
the soil, that it Kills insects etc. But
all the same it is great drawback to the
small farmer who is obliged to depend
on the income he derives from his crop

in low tone of voice.
Molly could make no reply but she
reached out and took the sailors hard,

'Mrs. Allaire," said Marks, $50 long
as we follow the government roads the
country will furnish us with all the
forage we need for our cattle, but when
we enter the wilderness it will be neces-
sary to abandon our horses and oxen
and replace them by pack and saddle
camels; these we have already sent on
ahead. The wells in these vast arid
tracts are often days apart and it would
be impossible for us to make our way
from one station to another except by
the use of camels."
II have complete confidence in your
skill and experience as a pathfinder,
Col. Marks" replied Molly. 81 under

horses and oxen for camel train at

''and the moment you have sufficiently

nal to break away, for everything is in
readiness, even to the motto painted
upon our pack wagons-'No Step Back

A faint smile spread over Molly's faco
as she bent her shapely head in ac-
acknowledgement of this thoughtful bit
of sentiment.

day, let it be at sunrise tomorrow"
Tom Marks bowed in acquiescence,
and springing lightly on his horse rode
away to give the necessary orders.
Farina Town was one of those viii
lagos which spring up mushroom-lile
in single night along the route of an
Australian or American railway, and in
few short months arrogate to them
selves all the dignity of a city century
old. The cunning of the surveyor and
land agent is visible from the very
start, and the homogeneous legend ''City
lots for SALE makes it's appearance the
day after the town is located. Nothing
is left to chance or individual taste for
settlement, but streets, boulevards and
squares are laid out with geometrical
and mathematical regularity which, as
the town is built up, gives it a monot-
ony that is as depressing as it is valu-
able, commercially speaking. The
whole population of Farina Town as
sembled at sunrise on the following day
to witness the departure of the brave
lady and her band of intrepid search
ers. About one-half Of the men were
