THE ORANGE GROWERS THANKS
GIVING.

President Cleveland has issued his an
nual thanksgiving proclamation, and
Governor Mitchell will follow suit in
few days.
The orange growers glance at their
frozen trees and then speculate on what
they should be thankful for, and they
wonder how Governor Mitchell will form
his proclamation. They see but little
reason to offer thanks, unless, indeed it
is for good health, good climate, the
sympathy of friends and associates, the
love of wife and children, the absence of
epidemics and the blear eyed wolf of
hunger, the knowledge that living in
Florida can be made from other crops
than the orange; the promise of better
times to come and that the freeze was
no worse. These are the only items the
orange grower can call to mind worthy
of Il passing thank, and when he glances
again at his frozen trees he groans and
wishes he could also offer a "Ghank' for
a full harvest of golden apples.
Well, it's true the orange growers have
had hard time and great misfortune,
but the same hand that sent the blizzard
sent the season that followed-a season
productive of abundant crops, the like
of which the orange section Of the State
never dreamed Of These crops were
timely-without them the orange grow
ers would have suffered. For that at
least they can offer thanks as we'll as the
knowledge that such crops as we're
never before planted can be successfully
grown here. By putting all of these little
items together we believe that even the
orange grower can squeeze out pretty
good thanksgiving.

was expected. While not sectional in its
scope and exhibits, it shows up to better
advantage the products and resources
Of the South than of any other section,
and the visitor will be instantly i'm
pressed with the development of the
Southern States in the matter of MANI
features. The products of the soil natu-
rally comprise large portion of the ex-
hibits from the Southern States, and
these in connection with the mineral,
marble and timber exhibits certainly
will make favorable impression on Wis.,
itors from other sections.
The agricultural products, however,
are viewed with no expression of aston
ishment as the remarkable productive
ness of Southern soil and the great war;
ETY. of crops that can be produced on it
with proper care, have been generally
admitted. 1t is the manufactured prod
uctS of the section that form the
great object lesson. They show that
while the South has not neglected
her orchards, gardens and farms,
she has devoted much time during the
past few years in manufacturing her
natural products into commercial COM
modities promising large returns and
greater profits than if sold in the raw
state.
The most conspicuous displays at The
exposition m ay be found in the Arkan-
sas exhibit, and the West Florida display
in the Agricultural building, and at the
California exhibit in the Liberal Arts
building. California also has an ex-
hibit IN a building of her own near Ma
chinery Hall but her best display lis in

THE WINTER SEASON.

Floridians have always looked forward
with pleasure to the coming of the win
ter season and the Northern tourists.
Some times the orange crop would not
be large, and the vegetable crop would
fail, but the crop of tourists could al
ways be depended upon.
The fear has been expressed that be-
sides having no orange crop this season
we would also have short tourist crop.
We think, however, that this fear is
groundless, and while the tourist will
by no means take the place of the or
ange they will help out fright smart"
and we think the indications all point to
a full crop the coming season.
Another crop that is vastly more pro-
fitable than the tourist, is the crop of
home seekers, and it is gratifying to
note that Notwithstanding the much
talked-of setback" to the State, people
who wish homes where they can enjoy
delightful climate, are still turning
their faces Floridaward This year
they are coming by the traln-load, COM
prising colonies for whom land has been
purchased. A half crop of these people
are worth very much more to the State
than full crop Of tourists, and we are
pleased to say that the crop this year
promises to be unusually large.

EDITORIAL CHAT.

The shipment of oranges from the
fortunate sections OF South Florida that es-
capped the freeze has commenced.
ORANGE growers once complained OF
the long time between crops. During the next
few years they will have an opportunity OF prac-
ticing patience.
EVERY man in Florida who grows fruit
will make mistake if he does not procure a copy
of the report Of the Florida State Horticultural
Society. This book, replete with valuable infor

AT the Atlanta Exposition there is a
hue exhibit OF china made from kaolin from the
different states. The young man in charge OF
the exhibit sold the samples were made during
his odd hours. Among the lot was a shelf Od
china made from Florida clay from the vicinity
of Eustis and Leesburg. The table set was very
pretty and the exhibitor claimed that it was as
fine as any he had worked, but that the freight
rate operated against the development of the in
ust ry in Florida.

A CONSPICUOUS SUCCESS.

The great exposition at Atlanta is even
a greater success than it's promoters had
expected. Those who are wise enough
to avoid comparison with the great ma.
tional triumph at Chicago are filed with
admiration and surprise.
The exposition is everything that
could be desired and much more than

PROSPERITY IN THE SOUTH.

The South IS to be congratulated on
it's prosperous condition at this time.
Never before has the farmer had so
much to encourage and cheer him. The
conditions that surround him were en-
tirely unexpected, and for that reason,
perhaps, they are more appreciated.
Last season when the bulk of the
cotton crop of the South sold for less
than five cents per pound, the prospects
ahead for the coming year seemed any
thing but hopeful. The cotton planter
had nothing to expect but repetition
of the depression of prices. lie, how
ever, took sensible, if not hopeful view
of the case and determined if he could
not live by cotton to live without it. He
planted corn, and in fact nearly every
thing that his stock and his family
would need to sustain life. Of course
he did not neglect cotton entirely-that
could not be expected, but while he
planted only little less than the usual
amount of cotton, he planted other
things as we'll, and went to work to Gull
tivate his cotton on four cent basis.
That is he worked and lived econom-
ically, expecting to realize the minimum
price for his staple. But there was a
surprise in store for him, and an agree
able one too. Instead of cotton selling
for only four or five cents a pound it
sold for eight cents. and promises to go
still higher.
The result of all this is that the
southern planter is in better condition
than ever before. In addition to hav
ing snug bank account his crib and
his cellar are full, and he will not be
compelled to spend the money he re-
ceives for his cotton for corn, meat and
sundry other articles heretofore traded
for feecy staple.
It is to be hoped that the cotton plan
ter'will profit by the lesson of this year. 1t
is likely, though, that next year he will
devote his entire slime to cotton, hoping
to receive tie same price for it that he
did this year. In this case he will

Tobacco is still booming. From every
section OF the State comes the news of prepare
ton for planting large areas. In our opinion
the industry promises much and we have but one
fear, and that is that inexperienced men will
make failures either in the growing OF the weed
or It's proper curing and attribute the failure to
our soil or climate instead OF to themselves.

SELECTION OF VARIETIES.

excellent opportunity now OF correcting
errors that were necessarily made when
their groves were planted. Errors, "
perhaps. is not the correct word in this
connection, for at the time the older
groves of the State were planted, the list Of
varieties from which the grower selected
his fruit was very short. He had to
use what was offered for the reason that
there was no other.
Since that time, however, there has
been great development along the line
of propagation. Thu cry fas been for
an extension of the season. The growers
saw land felt) the disadvantage of being
compelled to market several million
boxes of oranges between the latter part
of October (when the fruit was green)
and the first of March. The cry was
for oranges that would ripen and be
marketable early before the bulk of the
crop was in condition for shipment
and for other varieties that would ripen
later, after what was known as the
standard, varieties had been gathered
and sold. The advantages Of such varie-
ties were evident; growers who were
so fortunate as to have few trees of the
only late variety then known, Tardiff
received such handsome profits from
their small shipments that they yearned
for more. In some cases trees of a less
desirable quality, say for instance the
variety which refused to bear crops of
suffi cent size to Justify their retention
in the grove, were rebudded to the
Tardiff.
Our pomologists have labored faith
fully to meet the popular demand in
the matter of late and early varieties
and the list is now long one as COM
pared with that of fifteen or twenty
years ago. These late and early varieties
have extended the shipping season, at
the very lowest calculation, two months.
Of course these varieties have been
cultivated to greater or less extent for
several years, and are now entirely new,
but majority Of them were introduced
or became "popularized" after the larger
and older groves in the State were
planted and in bearing.

New Era Labor Exchange

Editor Herald: The interest
taken by The Herald in the cause
of labor encourages the undersigned to
beg sufficient space in your columns for
Il brief statement of facts in reference to
the New Era Labor Exchange of this city
and its laundry enterprise which has
just ended it's career. The public has
been already made aware of the existence
and purpose of that enterprise, and 1t is
due to those who have been responsibility
connected with it that the same public
should know why and how the enterprise
has failed. This is especially necessary as
a matter of Justice towards those who
have been entrusted with the tinancla,
management of the concern.
AS generally happens in such cases,
there has already been more or less talk
by irresponsible parties charging dishon-
esty, in the handling OF funds from which
serious injury may be done to the char
acter of those concerned, il such Islander
should go uncontradicted. 1t is for this
purpose mainly that this communication
is given to the public, namely, to vindi-
cate the character of one of our most sim
cere and self-sacrificing co-laborers in the
cause of humanity and industrial reform.
This man is J. +. Tournoux, we'll
known citizen and business man of Los
Angeles, and whose devotion to humani
tartan principle is we'll known, and whose
business honesty is above roproach.
On account of these traits Mr.. Tournoux
was placed at the head of the laundry
management at a time when it was in an
almost hopeless condition through inhar-
mony and bad management. BY his en-
ergy and influence funds began to be
raised by subscription. and new hope
came to the enterprise. But unfortunately
influences were used by enemies to the
laundry, and prejudices were created
against Mr.. Tournoux, so that inharmony
again arose among the workers and the
support of number of outside patrons
was withdrawn, leaving the laundry una
BILE to meet it's liabilities for rent and
other expenses, so it had to stop.
Suffice it to say, that as officers Of the
Labor Exchange and as auditing commit
tee of the laundry finances, we take pleas-
ure in stating to the public, after a thor
ough examination of the business as
shown by the books of account setting
forth the receipts and expenditures OF
moneys by Mr.. Tournouy, that there is
no foundation whatever for any charges Of
dishonesty on his part.

Capture and Conviction OF Dangerous
Character
RIVERSIDE, April IS. - For some
months past numerous thefts in this vi
entity have bothered the officers, who
have followed clue after clue without
success. One of these thefts occurred
December Oath last when the thieves
raided powder house belonging to a
firm in this city. The thieves stole
large quantity of powder, and thorough
search failed to locate them. Recently
man named Lathrop was placed in jail.
He gave the officers information which
led to the arrest of Charles D. Cobough
on the charge of being the thief wanted
for stealing powder. Today Cobough
pleaded guilty to grand larceny, and will
receive sentence Saturday next. Cobough
is an old convict. having served time in
Colorado. Some two years ago the Off
GERS raided Cobough' s house and found a
large quantity of dies and tools of coun-
terfeiters, since which time the officers
have watched his movements closely. He
is known to be daring. criminal, ready
for any violation of the law.
