1t has leaked out that William Rawls.
who was lynched at NeWnansville, made
no confession. He Is reported to have
said that his father died without con-
Tossing his crime. and he intended to do
the same. Although this is a tacit ad-
mission of his guilt, he denied all knowl-
edge or completely with the horrible
crime. The cOroners jury summoned by
HarH
ter has adjourned without obtaining a
clew as to who composed the lynching
party.
The pineapple industry Of Orange county
is not entirely knocked out. 1t is now de-
monstrated that large percentage of the
plants In the various sheds are alive and
are putting out new shoots. It is probable
that many more Of them will yet develop
signs of life and make new plants Prob
ably more than one-half of all OF the
plants Of that immediate section are alive,
aud as one old root will produce from two
to a dozen new plants IL Is probable that
the damage by cold Will result in great
ly increased propagation of plants.
The largest crop Of beans. potatoes and
melons on record IS planted at Umatilla
this year. The cabbage crop was killed,
and this land was then planted in beans
and potatoes. They are looking well.
Two crates of beans and about thirty of
garden peas were shipped the past week,
so the season has fairly opened, and in
ten days vegetables will move in guam
melon culture, and over eighty acres are
planted. The tomato crop IS about as
usual. There Will be more hog and HON
my than ever known.
Several days since. while a white man
was riding some cypress logs through the
swamp near Apalachicola, the log he was
on struck a small tree upon which a moe
casin was summing himself. The shock
knocked off the snake, and as his snake
snip fell upon the log that
the the 60. rider was upon he struck
then fell into the water. The leg of the
man soon began to swell but, fortunately,
there was plenty Of whisky and tobacco
in the camp. Tobacco was placed In the
whisky and this dose freely administered.
1t saved the mans life
George A. Carmichael OF Ocala, who took
mis- wife out Sunday to view the spot
where the dead body of Louis Fletcher
was found Saturday, in MS search for
other evidence of the tragedy found
an open pocket knife near where Fetch
err right hand had lain upon the ground,
which showed signs of blood. 1t was
strongly intimated to the jury soon after
finding the body that the death was
a clear case of suicide, but as no weap-
ons were found, the idea was dispelled.
The finding OF the knife has again re-
vived the idea, and many are now con-
Vlnced that he came to his death by a
knife in his own hands.
A letter from Orlando to the Jackson
vile Times-Union says. bicycling is
growing more and more popular in Orlan-
.
has, until quite recently, been confined to
the male sex. Now the ladies' are learn
ing to appreciate the indescribable exhil-
aration and healthful results that follow
a moderate use Of the wheel, and many
| of the fair sex who formerly hooted at
| the idea of "a woman on a bike" have
| laid aside that prudish idea, and now
not only excuse cycling in members of
| their sex who take to such sport, but them
| selves are enthusiastic occupants of the
| sliding seat. The question OF proper cos
4 tunes for lady bicyclists is often discussed
| by the lady cyclists here, and they are
/ some times warm and interesting. The
| advocates Of boomers are probably in
! the majority, and the probability is that
before the summer is over the common
/ sense style of dress viii prevail among
| the lady riders of Orlando Although the
/ opponents of boomers are in the minor
| ity, yet they are violent in their opposition,
and they talk of boycotting any lady who
appears in such a costume. The princi-
| pal opposition comes from those young
! ladies who are engaged. They seem to
fear that, If they appeared in boomers,
they would be thrown over by their lovers.
Every body is taking sides and 1t is not
| improbable that the question will split
the town into two factions
