THE NEW SOUTH
(By Henry w. Grady

Let me picture to you the footsore
Confederate soldiers as, buttoning up
in his faded gray jacket the parole
which was to bear testimony to his
children of his fidelity and faith, he
turned his face southwark from Apo
mattox in April 1865 What
does he find, let me ask you-What
does he find, when having followed
the battle stained cross against over
whelming odds, dreading death not
half so much as surrender, he reaches
the home he left SO prosperous and
beautiful? He finds his house in ruins,
his farm devastated. his slaves free,
his stock killed, his barns empty, his
trade destroyed, his money worthless,
his social system, feudal In it's magni-
ficence, swept way; his people with
out law or legal status, his comrades
slain and the burden of others heavy
on his shoulders. Crushed by defeat,
his very traditions are gone; without
money, credit, employment, material
or training, and, besides all this con-
fronting with the gravest problem
that ever met human intelligence
the establishing of a stauts for the
vast body of his liberated slaves.
What does he do, this hero in gray
with heart of gold Does he sit
down in suddenness and despair? Not
for a day. Surely God, who had strip
ped him of his prosperity, inspired
him in his adversely. AS ruin was
never before so overwhelming, never
was restoration swifter. The soldier
stepped from the trenches into a fur
row, horses that had charged Federal
guns, marched before the pillow, and
fields that ran red with human blood
In April were green with the harvest
of June. The new South is
enarmored of her new work. Her
soul is stirred with the breadth of a
new life. The light of the grander day
lis falling fair on her face. She is
thrilling with consciousness of grow
ing power and prosperity. AS she
stands erect, full statured and equal
among the people of the earth, breath
ing the keen air and looking out upon
the expanding horison, she under
stands that her emancipation came be-
cause, through the Unsuitable wisdom
of God her honest purpose was cross
ed and her brave armies were baten.

FLORIDA WATERMELoNs

/ have spent the past two weeks
canvassing the watermelon sections
of Florida from Leesburg down, in
specting all crops at the following
points: Lakeland, Barlow, FIT. Meade,
Bowling Green, Wauchula, Arcadia,
Fort Ogden, and some points on the
islands in the gulf of Mexico. From
this inspection my belief is that there
cannot possibly be any melons ship
ped before May % to June 1, and then
only few cars until after the first
of June.
After the first of the month I look
for loading to be general in all this
section, as the crops in all the Sec
ton are practically the same age. The
earliest crops were held back by un-
favorably cool weather and the first
setting on of melons was lost by the
heavy rains. So now the crop on the
vines is all at about the same point
in growth. Barring any calamity to
the crop, such as honey dew, lice and
blight, and given good growing weatf
er, such as we have had for two
weeks. this section will all begin to
load at once. With an acreage esti-
mated at $4,000, this means very
heavy shipping and reasonable prices
for the state, and we hope a healthy
market in the north.-Frank H. John
son, the Watermelon Man.

CANDIDATES IN FIRST DISTRICT
HAVE FIsTic ENCOUNTER
Fred DeBerry and Allie Angle Mix
1t Up on the Streets of
Plant CITY

Precipitated by an advertisement
appearing in the Tampa Tribune of
Sunday morning, advocating the can
didacy of J. Fred DeBerry for con-
gress and attacking the political and
business record of A. j. Angle, an al
tercation occurred between these two
principals yesterday afternoon in
front of Herring's Drug Store.
Accounts vary as to the encounter,
but it is agreed that Angle struck De-
Berry in the face one or more times
after few words were passed be-
tween them. DeBerry made but little
resistance.
DeBerry says that he was standing
on the corner with his arms folded,
when Angle came up to him and with
out any warning struck him over the
left eye. The skin was slightly cut
by DeBerry's eye glasses. Friends
parted them before any more blows
were struck.
Both parties were little later ar
rested by Marshal Vestel, who placed
each under a $500 bond for fighting.
DeBerry's bond was later returned to
him, as evidence seemed to the au-
thorities insufficient to hold him on
the charge. Angles bond was es-
treated in police court this morning.

ABRAHAM BOTTLE

The above is the name of sixteen
yeara-old boy who was arrested in
Ocala last November for breaking
and entering" and ever since which
time has been confined in Jail await
ing the action of the grand jury. That
body met this week ad carefully went
over the case filed against the lad,
and graciously refused to return a
true bill"
1t appears that young Bottle was in
a reform school at Boston, and was pa
rolled on his honor. Taking it into his
head that he must see the world, the
young lad quickly put his intention
into execution. He joined travelling
circus. but finally firing of sleeping
with the dogs and other animals he
gave the circus the "high-ball"
OF course he left the circus penni-
less and despite his efforts failed to
find other employment, and, finally, to
satisfy the insatiate cravings of hun
ger, he broke into building in search
of food. If not clearly shown, it was
at least believed that he only wanted
to purloin something to eat, and en-
tered the building for no otehr pur-
pose, but as he was caught with the
goods" he was compelled to pay the
penalty.
When he was sent to Jail young Bot
tie was not only ragged, but he was
unkempt and covered with vermin.
He was barbered and bathed and
provided with suit of clothes, but
he was compelled to spend the winter
and spring behind prison bars.
He was brought before Judge Bull
lock Wednesday, and after lecturing
him in most paternal and compass
sionate manner the judge agreed to
give him his liberty if some good man
would take it upon himself to see that
he was provided with a. ticket and
funds enough to have him returned to
the reform institution in Boston.
DIR. w. H. Dodge. pastor of the Pres
byterian church, volunteered to un-
dertake this duty, and when a reporter
OF this paper met the good doctor yes
terday he was making good headway
In collecting the amount required.
The career of young Bottle should
be a warning to young boys from fol-
lowing his example.

its general use was soon prohibited, however, since the popmace came to
