Mr.. Plant has built up a most splendid system
of important railway and steamship lines.
While other capitalists were engaged with the
West and Northwest, Mr.. Plant devoted his
time, tre!ess energy and wealth to the South,
and through his confidence in the section he
favored other moneyed men were at last induced
to come and invest But to him the South owes
its gratitude 1t was through him that Georgia
and Florida first loomed up as possible place
for safe and profitable investment. Through
him the home, health and pleasure seeker have
come; and through him of solid prosperity
dawned upon this portion of the South.
Immi igrants followed in the wake Of the iron
horse Towns have sprung up along the line of
railway Saw mills and turpcntinc farms have
come into profitable existence. Truck and fruit
farming have assumed vast proportions and the
tourist travel has grown to be immense.
Through persistent advertising Of the Plant
System, this section has very properly become
the santarium of the United States and the
Eden CT the hunter
To-day the South is universally acknowledged
to be tke most prosperous portion of the great
Union, and that portion over which the Plant
System ra:nhcs ll&clf is known as the garden

THE PATHFINDERS.

Before Columbus found his way
through the lonely vastpess of the
Atlantic, the inhabitants of the
New World had formed avenues
of travel through the forests of
the east ard over the plains Of the
west. Ligh;-aden and tisht-5irtcd,
the Indian stepped along these
sinuous tootpaths, to seek the
haunt Of the wild deer, Or the vii
lage of friendly tribe.
When the white and bearded
strangers from across the sea
landed on these shores, and pene-
trated into the inmost recesses Of
the continent, they no doubt fol
lowed at first the routes laid down
by the aborigipes. We can i'm
agine that when DeSoto made his
famous march from Tampa TO the
Indian town of Ocali, and thence
northward and westward to his
grave in the Mississippi, he must
have followed the trail by which
the natives had travelled from vii
lagc to village.
And it was not strange that, af-
ter the lapse Of centuries, after
the subjugation Of the red men,
and during the armed occupation
Of the territory Of Florida, the
government of the United States
should have widened that trail
Indian fighters remem bsr the Cd
Fort King military road. And
then came the electric wire; and
the old trail was known as "thc
wire road"
| But "times are changed, and we
arc changed with them Inctcad
Of the well-remembered "Wire
road" there are the magnificent
highways Of iron which constitute
the Plant System; instead Of the
numbering stage coach - "the
hack" we used to call it-thcrc is
the palatial Pullman; instead Of
the jaded horses, there is the
great locomotive, which whirls US
onward at rate that would have
made the ancient inhabitants of
Ocala take to the hammccks in
dismay.
The greatest of this line of
Pathfnders-the founder cf the
Plant System-is our guest today.
Let US remember that, nearly four
hundred years ago, the first of
these pathfinders marched through
the country now traversed by the
Plant System, and was entertained
in the town that stood upon the
site Of this city, and bore the self
same ramc. But there is one diff.
ference between the two great
pathfnders. DeSoto brought de-
struction upon the simple natives
whose hospitality he shared; but

H. B. PLANT.

There IS no more prominent character in the
railroad world Of America than Mr.. H. b. Plant,
the mil ionaire and railroad magnate and Pres-
dent of the very justly celebrated Pant System
of railway and steamship lines. His has been
career that has known no failure; and his busi-
ness sa gacitv has been crowned with success.
Mr. Plant is native of Bradford, Conn.,, and
which piled between New York and New
Haven. In this way he became interested in
the old Bcecher Express, between these places,
ard it proved the turning point in his fortunes.
He found congenial employment with Adams
and Company, subsequently the Adams Express
Company. In 1858 he was sent South to
establish expresses upon the Southern roads for
thar corporation,
He established the Southern Express Com
pany in 1861, Of which company he is still the
able and astutc President
In 1870 with others, he purchased the Allan
tic and Gulf Railroad of Georgia, rcorganized it
under the name OF the Savannah, Florida and
pany.
Uo to this t;rac, Southern Georgia and Florida
had been ignored by capitalists, and for want
Of intelligent appreciation OF the dormant re
sources and capital to dcVc,cp them, it was

THE VIRGINIA ORATORS ELOQUENT SPEECH
The First Day of the Convention Ended Without Permanent
Organization Being Reached-At Times the Session
Turbulent-The Detailed Report

Chicago, ILL.,, July 7.-Prior to going
into the convention, under the guidance
of experienced parliamentarians like
Senator Harris, Senator Jones of Arkan-
sas and others, a set of parliamentary
motions was prepared by the silver men
to meet every phase of the fight with the
sound money men, Each of these motions
was assigned to a designated leader to
present at the proper time, and word was
passed round among all the silver cohorts
that the resolutions offered by these per-
sons expressed the views of the party,
and were expected to receive the solid
support of the silver men.
1t was openly stated in the conference
that this course had been rendered neces-
sary by the course of the Chicago news
papers, which, in spite of the pledge
given on their behalf to the national com>
mlttee when Chicago was selected as a
meeting place, that the press of the city
would report the proceedings of the con-
vention with fairness, had not failed to
distort and misrepresent with all kinds
of untruths the plans and purposes of the
silver men. Delegates were, therefore,
cautioned not to be misled by Chicago
newspaper statements, but to follow the
lines marked out by their own steering
committee.
Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1896-07-08

rest OF the organization was read as fol-
lows:
For temporary secretary, Simon B.

Col. John l. Martin of Missouri.
What is the pleasure of the conven-
tion?' Mr.. Harrity asked, ION the re-
port as made in the democratic national
committee
On that Mr.. Clayton. delegate from
Alabama, arose and advanced to the
platform and said:

lieve. in accordance with the wishes of

tion, which l shall move as a substitute

Mr.. Clayton then read the minority re-
port as follows:

STILL STICKS TO TELLER.
Hon. Pat Walsh Believes He Is the Man to
Nominate.


Nominate.
Chicago July 7.-Hon. Patrick Walsh,
delegate at large from Georgia to the
democratic national convention, gave his
views on the situation to Southern As
sociated Press representative tonight.
He said: 81 have no opinion that
amounts to conviction as a reliable
forecast as Ito who will be the nominee or
the convention. Bland will develop the
most strength on the first ballot, but
do not believe he will be able to hold his
forces together for any length of time.
Boies Is a strong possibility. He may
grow in favor as the most available can
didate, but there is no reasonable proba-
bility of his nomination under the two
thirds rule. AS 1t looks today, 1t is not
probable that either Bland or Boies can
receive the nomination. l have reference
to the two-thirds rule remaining in force.
"The Georgia delegation will, of course,
vote for a democratic candidate and do
its best to secure the nomination of Boies
or Bland. The delegation has not been
polled and I am unable to say which can
didate its vote will be cast for.
LAS regards Mr.. Teller, have not
changed my views as to the advisability
of his nomination. On the contrary, my
opinions have become convictions that
with him certain victory awaits the dem
ocratc party in November. The conven-
ton may finish its labors before adjourn
ing tomorrow. / think that the delegates
from the east have become so thorough
ly convinced of the determined spirit of
silver men that they have abandoned all
hope of changing their convictions on the
financial question"
