MIAMI,

| Glimpses of the scenery from the
car windows We're wildly beautiful
and the exhibits at the Dade County
Fair revelation.
We, who reside in this section Of the
state, have all our lives cOmbatted the
idea grown SO prevalent as to have
crept into some of the Biographies
fthat that portion of Florida not sand
is swamp and mosquitoes ;" yet, con-
corning the East Coast section, we
| have permitted ourselves to pocket
the accepted opinion, and, what is
worse, acted accordingly.
We have permitted others to take
advantage of first opportunities and
reap the richest harvest within the
gift of the state.
Seeing the magnificent combina-
tons and admixture of nature and
art-the handiwork of God and man
the words of Helen Keller-the deaf,
dumb and blind mute-occur to US
The very moment she was able to
express her thoughts to her teacher,
she asked:
If man made the ships and
the houses, who made the
land and the sea ,"
Man has not been alone in building
UP the East Coast section.
If it had not been blessed of heaven
in giving it its soft atmosphere, its
luxurious soil, its beautiful river, lake
and ocean fronts, lis landscape, Devil
dering in its tangled mass of tree, and
fern, and flower, even Mr.. Flagler,
with the prodigal expenditure of his
money, aided by his architects and
could not have made it the
that it is.
Magic as has been the growth of
most rapid and substan-
tial of any Florida town-the wonder
TO Us is that it has not grown more
rapid and its population of hundreds
is not counted by thousands.
With her gates dung wide-open, a
display Of tempting fruits everywhere |
and none forbidden anywhere, and
welcome inscribed in big letters on
its banners and hung on the outer
walls, is it strange that men and wO-
men should accept the invitation and
lock into an earthly eden and feed
Ip0n mamma ready-at-haud for sub
tantials and all sorts of luscious trop.
cal fruits for deserts!
The wonder to Us j. that Miami is

A Voice in Protest.
3 Geneva. Ala. July b. 1901

.a Geneva. Ala. July b. 1901. Editor The Advertiser.
 The people of Geneva county learn of the action of the Convention with ref- erence to the formation of new coun- ty out of portions of Dale. Geneva and Henry. with considerable surprise, It Is argued with great force that there ex- ists no valid reason why an exception should be made in the case Of these three counties. It is also said that such a discrimination should have no place in our organic law. If the present constitutional area Is good for the bal ance of the State, 1t is good for the people of these three counties. The peo- pie affected by this proposition would raise no objection to general provi- sion reducing the limit below six hundred square miles, but your corre- spondent is of opinioin that they will not relish being put in different catez gory from the rest of the State. It seems that this provision was adopted when the delegate from Geneva was absent. when the delegate from Dale was absent. and when one of the dele gates from Henry was absent. Your correspondent will state further that he thinks it will be news to a large ma jority of the voters of Geneva county to learn that new county with Dothan as the county site was an issue in MT. Malone's candidacy for the nomination of delegate from this Senatorial dis trict. Your correspondent. who claims to know something of the sentiment of the voters of these three counties is strongly of opinion that a large ma iority of them would oppose the pres ent proposition. But says some one, then you will not be hurt" Possibly not, except with a never ending fight on the question with the meeting of every Legislature; a fight that will en. gender strife, bitterness and Ill feeling such as probably no other question can; a fight that will retard the progress of which MT. Malone speaks so proudly. That MT. Malone In his candidacy may have favored the reduction of the limit. your correspondent will not dispute, but that the people who sent him there supposed that he would come forward with this proposition, do not believe. It may be said what is the difference? A general provision would be backed by the wisdom of the entire Conven- ton, legisIating for the whole State on the same subject matter. The manner in which the present provision was adopted will strike the average man as a scheme on the part of Dothan, worked through in the absence of sev- eral interested delegates.

Ungracious Conduct.

Ensley Herald.
 Lewis H. Reynolds. of anti-nowspa- per pass fame, publishes a so-called apology in The Montgomery Journal of July 10, which violates every rule of English grammar, murders logic and offends good manners to an alarming extent It would not be so bad ware II not that he makes a most unkind and ungentlemanly fling at the editor of The Tuscaloosa Times lady of high birth, culture and refinement even go- ing so far as to make mention of her recent bereavement in a jocular man. ner. The editor and proprietor ct The Tuscaloosa Times is known and hcn- ored all over Alabama, and we trow that such reference as Mir. olds makes to her will not only weaken the chance of adoption of his ordinance if 1t ever had any chance. but that 1t will be resented by every editor in tho State as an unjust and wholly unwar- ranted attack upon one of Alabamae most cultured daughters.

many members of Congress, and there ts certain to be fight in Congress if any reciprocity treaty is arranged, because of clash with local interests.
 The annexationists realize the diff1- culties in the way of the new govern ment and say the only way out of them Is union with this country. In fur thering their cause they have appealed to the conservatives among the island CTS. They address themselves to all who live from their labor. agricultur- ists. great and small, the merchant, the industrials. and the landed pro- prietors and all who desire for Cuba order, progress and prosperity"
 It is pointed out that Cuba Is near a monetary crisis. the country Is ex- hausted, impoverished. and much time is to elapse before it gets on its feet if We do not have the acumen to select the only straight and sure road on which to reach an exit; that is. annex atidn to the United States. That an- neXation will have to come at all events there remains no doubt. but there is a great difference in having 1t soon, by a timely request, and having 1t come af- ter long process which may exhaust the little strength remaining in the country"

Perplexing Question for the Presi-
 dent to Consider.


 Washington Special.
 The campaign for annextion to the United States which has been started in Cuba brings up one of the most i'm portant questions that will be placed before the President and Secretary Root by General Wood when he comes to the United States. That a campaign to that end is being engineered by some of the most prominent and conserva- tive Cubans has been reported in Wash ington from Havana. The leaders in the movement are said to be those who favored the acceptance of the Platt amendment and who were well satiS- fled and pleased with the action of the Constitutional Convention in placing that matter in the constitution of the island.
 The adoption of the Platt amendment however, does not go far enough, in the opinion of the anneXattonists. It places the island under the protection of the Government of the United States but it does not provide for the econo- mic situation that will confront the rul- CTS in the new government. Beyond this protection the conservative Cubans do not look for any assistance from the United States, and none can be accept ed as Cuba Is legally a foreign coun' try. The proposition for a reciprocity agreement between the two countries is not regarded with much favor oS

as 1t is a representative Southern man ufacturing town. The first factory there. the High Point Furniture Con- pany. began work in 1888. They first made cheap chamber suits. Now there are thirty-three factories, one for every i50 people. Thomasvilie. seven miles from High Point. has twelve, which manufacture every article of furniture which man needs from the time he lies in his cradle until he sleeps at last in his coffin within his windowless pal ace. It would be tedious to mention the name of the different factories and of furniture manufactured, which in- clude everything that Is needed for use and ornament in dwelling, business house or office. These goods are ship ped to every State of the Union, and to some foreign countries.
 The factories have been uniformly and remarkably successful. Regular dividends ranging from 10 to 25 per cent. per annum have been paid in nearly all cases. Stock sells at good premium without exception. Not $10.- 000 worth of stock is owned out of town, and none outside of the State. Many stockholders are young men and boys now at work at the benches. Ali laDOr emplOyed IS Wnlte Wltn tne ex- ception of a few negroes who drive drays and handle lumber about the yard. An air of thrift, cleanliness ana prosperity pervades the entire town. There is nothing about the work that is degrading mentally, morally or phys ically.
 Tt is no uncommon thing for. the sons of the richest men in the town to begin by turning a lathe by the side of men who support their families on $1 per day or less.
 The furniture factory has made High Point what 1t Is today. and al- ready it is widely known as a furni- ture- manufacturing town"
