SUGAR GLOWING IN FLORIDA.
One Deal Fails Through, But Another
Is Being Organized.

Tampa, Fla, April 6-Some time ago it
was announced that Cuban sugar growers
had negotiated for the St. Cloud sugar
estate near Kissimmee. and intended TO
commence operations at once. The Phil
adelphia syndicate who own that property
upset the deal by attempting to drive a
bargain with English capitalists. They
gave the Englishmen an option on tile
land for number Of days, and when the
Cubans found it out they did not think
that they had been treated fairly, 50
they withdrew their offer The CORE
spondence between the Philadelphia peo-
pie and Capt. Rose of Kissimmee who
was arranging the deal, will constitute
the basis of a suit for $50, 900 for recovery
OF commissions, to which Capt. Rose was
entitled, but which was lost through the
actions of the company
In the meantime the Cubans have not
been idle, but have been casting about
for location which was suitable to the
successful growing of sugar. About tU .
weeks ago they went up to THE Mea1-
ows," tract of land being drained near
Citra, on the Florida Central and PENN
sular railway. They went over the entire
tract and returned to this city very much
delighted with their trip and the lands
they saw They pronounce them equal 10
anything in Cuba, and have no doubts
but that the very best sugar can be raised
upon them.
c. AK, vice president of the American
Tobacco Company and president of the
Meadows Land Improvement Company,
Is in this city with his wife. II. c. Turn
bull, secretary and treasurer of the latter
company, is here also. These gentlemen
have been in the city several days con-
sulting with the Cuban sugar planters
and a definite understanding has been ar
rived at between them.
Mr.. Turnbull leaves this morning for
the north and active preparations will at
once be pushed for the organization of the
largest sugar growing company in the
United States. 1t may be thirty days be-
fore the company is organized. They now
have 5000 acres of good land available but
will shortly have as much as 5000 acres.

LAURA PEARL LEMONS LOVE.
THE FIGHT FOR HER HAND TAKEN
BEFORE THE ORDINARY.

The Proceedings Adjourned to the
Grand Jury Room and "A Demand
Made For the Indictment of Rev.
Thomas jefferson For Puriury.
The Ordinary Unable to Decide
whether Laura Pearl Is n Bride or
Not.
Atlanta, Ga. April 1.-THE case Of Rev.
Benjamin Powell and Laura Pearl Lemon,
leaders of "colored sassity." in which
Powell claims that he married the Lemon
girl and the alleged bride denies the soft
Impeachment, came up for settlement in
the court of ordinary to-day,
As a result of the hearing the court
room was overrun with the coored four
hundred and interest ran high.
The star performer aside from the prin-
cipals in the unique situation, was Rev
Thomas jefferson, the preacher whose
name appeared attached TO the certincate
OF marriage, which was presented to the
ordinary.
Several weeks ago a license for the mar
riage of Powell and Laura Pearl was is
sued in due form. Later it was returned
TO the office with Rev. JeffersOn's certiti-
cation At the same time the alleged
bride put in a protest against the re-
cording of the certificate, claiming that
there had, in fact, never been any cere-
mony. and she did not want to be the wife
of Powell.
Along with this protest was an affidavit
from Rev. jefferson setting forth that II
was true that he had not united the pair
in marriage. although it so appeared on
the certificate returned by him
This conspiracy to rob him of his bride,
which Powell claims was worked up by
rival minister Of the gospel, caused Rev.
Powell to employ an attorney to proceed
in his behalf to compel the recording of
the certificate which would make Laura
Pearl Lemon his legal wife on the record.
This attorney secured "A second affidavit
from Rev. Thomas Jefferson stating that
the first one was false and that as a mat
ter of fact he had performed a legal mar
riage and Laura Pearl rightfully belonged
to Rev Powell.
As a consequence of these conflicting
afidavits of the Rev. Jefferson the pro-
ceedings were adjourned from the office
of the ordinary to the grand jury room.
and a demand was made on that body for
his indictment for prejury. 1t was i'm
possible for Ordinary Hulsey TO tell wheth-
er Laura Pearl Lemon was the bride of
the Rev, Powell or not, and he according
ly refused to take any action changing the
status of his record until he is ordered to
do so by a competent court.
Rev. Powell declares that he will go to
the supreme court with the case and prove
that Laura Pearl Lemon is his bride If it
bankrupts his congregation.

Tennille, Ga. April For two months
or more the equanimity of the town has

Farmers of this section have had their
patience tried by the weather conditions
since the middle of January, and plant

good crop, should conditions of weather

NEW LINE TO FITZGERALD.
The Road From WaycrOss Not an
Expensive One to Build.

Waycross, Ca. April THE surveyors
have run the levels over the recent survey
between Nichols and Fitzgerald, and a
tolerably accurate estimate of the cost of
the construction of the track is possible.
The line will cross three or four small
branches and the bridge and trestle work
will be small. There are no creeks across
the line, except Broxton creek, which is
really a small branch, the run at the point
where the track is to cross being only six
feet wide IL Is believed that the cost of
building the Fitzgerald extension Of thir-
ty-seven miles will be less than was the
cost of the road from Waycross to Mich
