of transient interest which may now
be engaging their attention to an
earnest endeavor after the consnm-
nation of the bridge project. This
enterprise is promi log of so much
greater returns than the railroad

that it ought to appeal strongly to
every one who has a business or even
a sentimental interest in the future
Of Lexington. 1t would serve to
afford the best of freight facilities,
to increase the retail trade of this
place from both sides of the river, to
compel adequate passenger service on
the river road and to render Lexing-

railroad. 1t would %emancipate our

age the location of small manufactO

and Intentionally brutal They are
committed Tor the sake of example
and are usually made as horrible and
grim rs possible. They are in no
sense expressions Of excitement or
frenzy on The part of the participants
They are committed as a matter OF
course under a settled conviction that
it is in the line Of economy Of punish
ment. There was never such q thing
as burning the negro quarters Of a
city or town, and no effort to run the
negroes out Of the country, except
occasionally when the trouble assumes
the proportion of a race war.
At the South lynching is not even
an evidence OF race prejudice 1t is
a always committed in such a way as ia

done IN a fury and illustrates the

If Mr.. Folk were running for office
against Farris, Sullivan or John A
Lee there might be some justification
for his Doodle issue. But none of the
apostles of civic righteousness have
ever had a word to say about revolu.
tionizing the legislature. They have
never even suggested the obvious
remedy of carrying war into the dis.
tricts OF suspected legislators. They
have never suggested an increase Of
pay so that more eligible men could
afford to serve in the legislature.
The truth is that while Doodle is the
issue on their lips it is not the issue
10 their hearts. They want to make
a rough house under the pretense of
a moral issue. The vast majority of
Mr.. Folks followers are attracted by
the S~o.called moral issue. But the
authors and originators Of the move
mention Stephens, James Carlisle,
Dave Francis, James L. Blair, James
Campbell and Others, have had any
thing but the "moral issue" in view.

trees. From the bottom of the lakes
grow tall grasses that present a beau
tiful appearance when viewed from a
distance.
THE word swamp as generally under
stood has no application to the Ever
glades, for they abound in pure water
which is constantly moving in one di-
rection or another, depending upon the
topography of the country. The air is
wholesome, pure, and free from disease
germs, and government statistics show
that fevers and epidemic diseases are
almost unknown. There are mot even
mosquitoes in the Everglades, for no
stagnant pools exist in which the larvae
can thrive.
"The grass is the greatest impeachment
to progress through the Everglades,
three kinds of it being encountered
There is the matted, half floating grass,
which is found where the water is shall
low The canoeist has some trouble in
pushing through it at times, but ordi-
narily it is not noticed. Another kind
is the round grass. which is abundant
on the eastern edge, and, lastly, there
is the saw grass, which is the terror of
all who attempt to penetrate these tracts,
.The few Seminole Indians who peo-
pie the Everglades avoid intercourse
with the white man as much as possible.
They have shown their wisdom by refus-
ing to act as guides for parties of tour
lists anxious to penetrate the glades, for
should they do so their secret trails
would become known, and the quiet
lives they live in these Businesses would
be liable TO interruption. fla white man
gets lost in the glades an Indian may
consent to guide him out, but never in.
They have trails through the glades
which they follow as unerringly as a
New Yorker walks from the Battery to
Central park.
1.-The only Kind of craft that can be
used with any success in the Everglades
is an Indian canoe. These are followed
out of cypress logs and weigh 200 or 300
pounds. They are narrow for their
length, sharp on the waterline forward
| but above they flare out suddenly into a
/ blunt bow. They are also narrow al
| the stern, where they finish in an over
hang, upon which is built a platform
| or slight elevation, where the canoeist

canoes being sent through the water by
means of long poles"

service. He was in the trenches dur
known as the "seven-day fight" in Pa
mama three years ago. Under his lead
ership his troops fought desperately,
and at the conclusion of the struggle
there was a pile of 400 dead men in
front of them. Gen. Huertas has a
great reputation as a strategist Once
he was given a detail of 60 men and
ordered to capture battery of five
pieces, which was located near the sea
shore. He took five men and made a
cautious detour to the rear of the po-
Asition he wished to take. Then his SO
men landed in a boat within sight of
the defenders of the battery AS soon
as the enemy got busy in front he
pounced upon them from the rear with
his little squad, and got their guns
without the loss of man.
His latest exploit was the capture Of
his two superior officers during "the
bloodless revolution" He agreed to
assist the secession movement, and al
though the time had been set for the
outbreak, he had not told his officers or
his men. 1t seems Colombia got wind
that trouble was brewing on the 18TH
mus, and quietly sent out forces to put
down the movement, Two superior Of
fcers walked into the barracks one
afternoon and took Huertas unawares.
None of his subordinates happened to
be in the room when they walked in.

sir, that rebellion is about to break
out here?" He replied that he knew IL.
Are you ready to resist it?" He told

dow, "see those guns trained on the

drilled are my men" He walked to the
door. gave an order, and in a moment
a detail of 80 men filed into the room.
He ordered his two superior officers
arrested, and sent word to the rebels
to come after their prisoners. 1t was
a nervy trick and might easily have

but one hand, having lost the other in

weighs only 107 pounds. He is very

In such graphic words, says the New
York Tribune, Nelson Morris, a Plain
field On. j. man, who spent two weeks
this winter in this wilderness Of Amer
lea, visiting a friend owning a truck
farm just within the Everglades, de-
scribed this tract Of land and water Gov
ering the greater part of the peninsula.
These thousands of acres have lain
dormant from time immemorial and for
the most part are given over to Wild ami
mails and wild men, he continued.
There are few settlements on the edges,
but much of the tract has been deemed
impenetrable, owing to the character of
the morass and the impossible holes
and sinks that break the surface, and is
as much unknown to civilization as the
heart of Africa. Settlers along the east
ern edge know absolutely nothing about
what lies ten miles inland, and will not
until the time comes when these useless
acres will be needed by American farm
ers, and the task of draining the marsh
land will be begun in earnest
THE Everglades consist of great
shallow lakes of pure, sweet water, vary
ing in depth from one to six feet. Sew
eral good sized streams drain the tract,
and scattered through the glades are
many islands, some only a few yards
square, Others extending over hundreds
of acres and covered with dense growth
of pines, palmettoes, vines and tropical
