 There were no roads ip those days. In the winter the open lands were deep with the prairie mud and in the sum- mer the air was malaria charged. as 1t always is in a new lands with freshly destroyed vegetation. The colonists were surrounded by Indians, but they were Choctaws and friendly to all white men. From them the French suffered no hurt or harm.
 The fnsolent and ubiquitous Ameri- can settler gave them more trouble. They were squatters, these American stealing the lands of the French when they could.
 Chain of Misfortune.
 To add to their troubles. somebody who took an unfriendly interest In them undermined the confidence of the American Government in their sheer ity. The Secretary of the Treasury was made to believe that the colonists were violating their agreement with the Government. He made it the sub feet of a communication which was sent to Congress.
 On this score, Frederick Raveises, spokesman for the colony, satisfied the Government and the colony was per mitted to continue its troubled career without additional endorsements from the Government. In due time some of their vines grew to bear luxu riously. They had a splendid prospect. But the drouth of 1927 came along and kiIled the vines to the roots The colonists had always suffered from lack of a sufficient supply of water. The Canebrake Is no good place for surface wells The drouth was the cnIminating misfortune. 1t should Rave nroye to the French that their iands were entirely unsuited to grape a1,itrre hut 1t did not It only lead to Saiisve that they were growing the wronp sort of vines. So they sent ofr and got new vines. But their courage end nersistence was unavailing.

Not more than fifteen or twenty men will be let out of our employ on &C., count of the modified quarantine"
 The situation in Pensacola Is viewed with some concern by the Alabama health officers, but they are hopeful that with the cooler temperatures Jack Frost will be here sooner than usual and that the entire quarantine system will soon go into history.
 There were fewer refugees from Pensacola last night than for several nights This indicates that the people of the Florida seaport are hopeful of an early termination of the epidemic in their city. There were only five Pen- sacolians on the northbound train pass ing through Montgomery last night.
