THE SOUTH FLORIDA FAIR.
A More Hopeful Feeling in Respect to
the Orange Trees.

the Orange Trees.
Orlando, Fla, Jan. S.-The South Florida
fair directors at meeting yesterday de-
cided to postpone the date Of the forth
coming fair in this lace for one month.
The date Of the opening will be March 10.
1t was also decided to double up the pre-
miums in the vegetable and floral de-
partments. This will act as a stimulus TO
the truck growers and Aorists,and as they
VIII have a month longer in which to
work it is believed that the display in
these departments Will be far finer than
IN any previous fair.
one hears many discouraging remarks
about the situation if he listens to the
conversation Of groups of men on the
street Mr.. II. 8. Kedney, Of Maitland
yesterday predicted that all Of the budded
orange trees and all of the lemon trees
in Florida are killed, and that only the
Ola seeding trees would be found to have
Wlthstood the recent freeze. c. A. Boone.
OF this place, takes about as hopeless a
view Of the situation. and others ex-
press the same opinion. on the other
hand a gentleman who is connected with
the trult trade, and who has taken a
careful observation Of the conditions
throughout the orange growing section
OF the state announced to the News cor
respondent yesterday that he was ready to
enter into contracts with owners of in
numbered groves which were I'm rood
condition before the freeze and who might
need help since losing their fruit crop
10 advance fertilizers at once to assist
the spring growth and stimulate bloom
ing and fruiting, and later to advance
IertlIlZers again to enable the trees to
carry and mature their fruit, only stipu-
lating that he should have the handling
or the next crop, on equitable terms. so
that he may be sure of getting his money
back. He would take the risk of the
trees living through the freeze and put
ting on the fruit Even If he should re-
quire the entire yield Of fruit the grove
owner who finds himself swamped by the
loss of the present crop would be a gamer
as the growth and vigOr which the trees
would acquire by reason of liberal treat
ment would amply repay them in the re-
suits of future years. But the gentleman
requires no such hard terms He only
wants the handling of the crop, or if
handled by the owner, he wants his
money returned with interest He Is
ready to put $50, 900 to 500 600 into Florida
on these terms. He has the resources
at his command, and will do just as he
agrees. There is no buncombe in his
proposition. This puts a hopeful aspect
upon the situation. If it shall prove that
the groves are very much alive. and we
have a good-sized yield Of fruit next win
ter orange groves in Florida will take
on an enhanced value, as they will have
demonstrated their ability to pull through
any blizzard that viii be likely to strike
the state for the next hundred years. II
the trees live through this winter orange
growing will be the safest enterprise men
can put their money in.

RACED IN A DRIzzLE.
The Track at New Orleans Sea of
Mud, but Four Favorites Win.

The Track at New Orleans Sea of
Mud, but Four Favorites Win.
New Orleans, La, Jan. S.-The five
races carded for to-day's events were run
in drizzling rain which prevailed
throughout the afternoon. There was no
danger Of any track records being broken,
as the Sea Of Mud" appropriately ex-
plains the condition of the track. and it
was a day for the mud Iarlss. The at
tendance was all that could be expected
considering the weather and the talent
came out of the big end of the horn by
calling the turn on four events, leaving
but one favorite for the bookies.

The truth is that the French nobility.

golden book Of our ancient national glory,
while being as intelligent, as distin-

from all tutelage, who are able TO organ

true also, to a certain extent, Of all the
large provincial towns where the echoes
OF the capital are repeated with such
great rapidity
At the same time il is interesting to
note now after holding aloof for nearly
twenty years, the noble men and danes

Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. 8,-There was no
violence about the courthouse this noon,
as had been predicted BY some, but a
crowd was in attendance and there was
more or less excitement when 4. L. Tur-
ner and ]. s. Geiger made demands on
County Tax Assessor Verelst and Tax
Collector Johnson for their respective Of
fees, claiming TO have been elected at the
election last October Mr.. Geiger was the
first to make the demand. He arrived at
Mr.. Johnsons Office at 10 o'clock and was
accompanied by l. i. Harris. Mr.. John
son was just leaving the office and met Mr.
Geiger at the door. Mr.. johnson smiled
and said that he would like to see Mr.
Geiger's commission if he expected to
gain possession Of the office. Mr. John
son read the commission when it was
handed TO him and then said that
he didn't consider that there had
been an election since 1892 and as his com
mission read that he was to hold Office I'M
til the expiration Of his term and until
his successor was elected and qualified he
would not turn over the office. Mr. Gel
ger and his party then bowed themselves
out
Practically the same performance was
gone through with at Mr.. Verelst's office.
It is understood that Messrs. Geiger and
Turner win apply TO Judge Call for a man
damus to require Messrs. Johnson and
Verelst to turn over the Offices. There is
much excitement over the matter and
long lawsuits viii follow.
