The Law of the Flat Woods.
CONTINUED from First Page)

There was no law in the fat-woods
during the early S0's-no law but the
primitive lew of preservation and
the survival OF the fittest. Lynchings
occurred OCCASIONALLY. and not always
the mercfful lynching that involves the
use of a rope over the limb of an oak
tree. The shotgun quarantine was es-
tablished TO keep the inhabitants
whether transient or otherwise-of the
fever infested districts within the danger
zone. To pass the prescribed limits
meant 20 pass the quarantine, and that
was practically imposslDle-and live.
Those who lived along the line Of
the quarantine in Florida will never for
get the long days and nights Of the
ceaseless vigilance-and especially the
nights. For the attempts 10 pass were
, always made under the cover of dark
ness. During the day a man could be
seen a quarter Of mile away in the
omen pine tree country. and the bay
heads and hummocks We're watched by
eyes that could distinguish the slight
indications of gopher hole twenty and
thirty feet ahead Of a swiftly moving
COW pony, and the slightest noise of
tearing. grapevines or moving palmetto
leaves would have quickly reached ears
that were trained 10 hear the slight
rustling Of deadly moccaslns and adders
that swarmed in the lowlands. not 10
mention the rattlers Of the short-grass
country.
AT various points the sentries STUN
bled over the bodies of fever victims
who had died of exposure and want
within a quarter Of a miles distance
| from their camps. They had hung
around the country hoping 10 escape the
vigilance OF the shotgun men until sink
I ing from weakness and delirlous with
/ fever they had died like dogs feebly
attempting at the last to crawl to the
| nearest stream of water
But at night attempts to escape Were
numerous. The chances seemed fair and
lit is true that a limited number of
| fugitives passed the line during the
| quarantine But the number was exceed
ingIy limited.
