Letter from Floridn.
Having received an invitation from |
the Hon. J. (J. Spear, the general inana- j
gerand president of-the Apopka Canal j
Co., to take a trip with him across the j
lake, and up the canal to where the !
dredge boat is at work, we accepted, j
and accompanied by four gentlemen, j
who for several days previous, had hueij |
in our midst admiring the beauties and i
advantages of this great South Apopka .
region, we drove over to the Judge's
beautiful home at Oakland, where we
,, were hospitably received and-cared for j
until i:jii i > i 11 it i Mil v hum ii i iiu.
In this connection we will say that
the Judge has just completed his largo
house, of eleven rooms, situated on :i
hill nearly surrounded tiy""a T?"r?a^itiful
oak forest, in (lie rear of the house,
sloping to thft banks of Lake John, the 1
oaks have been supplanted by orange j'
trees, showing the care thev have bad
in their unusual si/.e, thriving condition.
and in the rich .yield of golden (
fruit, which weighs them down.
<
At an early hour we breakfasted, and I
after a brisk walk of three-quarters ofj
a mile, to Spear's wharf, on Lake .A pop- j
kn, we boarded the steamer "Apopka"
ftnd had only a few minutes to wait he- ^
fore we were olF for the canal, at the
north end of the lake, coasting the (
v\um mium; mm duijpjnu^ at v i;umings
for orange freight. After leaving,
the first place of interest we saw was
1
,f the famous Burdette Island prove.
This grove, like many others on the
shores of Apopka, was made' by hudding
sweet oranges on the native wild 1
stocks, which wore found in great num- '
bers all though the hammock. Our '
first stop was at Lieu.t. Franklin's whjirf, '
from whicli point the hmd rises, with a
beautiful slope to quite' an eminence.
On this is situated his elegant mansard- *
ro >f mansion, surrounded by gigantic '
oaks, from whoso grand old -trunks and
liuihs, the ever beautiful southern grey
moss hangs in graceful clusters, sway- *
ins to the over gentle breeze from oft*
the lake. L*. Franklin teWs me that ^
his grove of twenty acres and more,
and from which he will ship this season
seven hundred* boxes ,i*f oranges. .
was only live years ago transplanted
from Cant. Minim's nursery. (This only
proves what trees can be mjldejt'o do
in a short time, with good attenti.on.)
Just across an arm of the lake, .from
Lt. Franklin's grove, is Mr. Kirk's place.
This is a very handsome grove just
coming into bearing. The- ownir last 1
season, planted two acres in string
beans, shipping in March and April to
northern markets. His net receipts
were about $1,100 and the whole crop
was made and marketed between. December
and April. Next is Mr. Stat
oil's grove, lying buck a short distance
from the lake. Then Mr. Stewart's
wharf, our next and last' stop, .du 'the
west shore, was the scene of busy action,
in loading oranges on our boat.
This grove, like all we had passed, was
in luxuriant bearing.
At last we entered the long heard of
Apopka canal, present ,terminus of oin
steamer. l''or live and a half n\iles.w.e
followed this Kauai in an air line course,
from Lake Apopka to its connection
with Lake Dora, then through Lake l)ora
to Lake lCustis, the head waters of
mu ucKiuwntiA river ; thus attordmg
when completed, through transportation,
by water from Lake Apopka to
Jacksonville, or by rail over th" T. 0.
& A. li. It., which crosses the canal one
mile from the present point of working
the dredge boat, which is toiling assiduously
under the skillful management
of Mr. Ilicks.
The entire length of the canal is frotn >
seven to seven and one-half miles, was
cut through the entire length, twenty
feet wide nnd fron. four to six feet
mood ; out alter the water ran down and
partly reclaimed the rich muck land, lying
on both sides of it, (a body of thirty-live
to f*?rty thousand acre*.) it,was
found to be both two shallow and narrow
to either afford transportation or reclaim
fully the land. So the dredge
beat was put to work on the Lake Dora
end, and cut the canal, for two miles,
thirty to thirty-five feet wide and nine
feet deep. This second out was also reHUtnod
on tho Apopka end and has
opened the canal for five and one-half,
miles, thns leaving to be completed one
an<) one-half miled, or one mile to the
railroad crossing.
Just now the work is necessarily very
rIow. as the dradge is working through
a-stiff elay and litne bed, and tho pro
gross is ejily eighteen to twenty yards a
day. Of this however, they have only
ahont two hundred yards more, when
again this rich muck bed commences, ; p
ami in this tlioy can go ahont nn<! hun- ]i
ilred yards a day. Thus, yon see, (he j pi
day of completion is not far oil*, and pi
when completed and this immense body , e
of land reclaimed, the writer ventures to j h
assert that there will be no richer body j.)
"r land in the United States ; or even | h
i..ore ; that there is enough rich muck h
in this ho'Iy, if dug to its depth, to for- ci
tilizo nearly all the pine land in the w
State.
In the afternoon we returned to South | V
Apopka, where we hade farewell to ourjei
host and the crew, composed of Capt. j ai
A. A. Spear, engineer K. 0. Spear, and j it
Mr. S. Fut'eh, to each of whom we ex- !a
lend our heartfelt thanks for their kind h
und generous attention. C. ?T. C. ai

Slaver? in Georgia
A bout-Christmas a white man appearil
here seeking hand? to work on ,\ tnrentine
farm in Georgia. His name is
riddick, or Bridies, and he representil
the firm of ('lay & Briddick, propri ors
of i turpentine farm. It is allegil
that he promised $18 a month and
oard for good hands, and on the first of
anuary 29 stalwart colored men left
ere for the farm, which is situated at a
runlet called Lothair in Montgomery
unity. Ga., .05. miles from Bartow,
hich is the nearest railroad station.
Among those who went was Logan
talker. A week or more :igo his broth r.
Alfred Walker, who is a respectable
i.s intelligent colored blacksmith havig
a shop in West Greenville, received

0 vvns in danger and trouble at Bartow,
nd' imploring aid. Alfred Walker
romptly started on an earl)' train and a
sw days ago lie returned, bringing his
rolher, who was in a dilapidated cotillion,
sulFering from a severe wound in
u; head and thankful enough to get
ack here alive.
i ogan Walker tells a strange story.
!e says that when the' Greenville
rowd reached Lothair, which is in ,a
mutry o'." dense pine forests, swamps
nd lakes, they were put to work boxtg
pin* trees for turpentine. instead
f .flH a month and board t'icy were
aid l,1^. cents apiece for the boxes and
. ijniied to board themselves. They
ere only able to box from ten to lil;en
trees a day, and their wages were,
lerefore, from 121., to 20 cents a day.
hey were compelled to buy their suplies
from.Clay & <13rid dick, who charg1
11) cents a pound for meat, 7 for fueal
nd 8 for Hour.
The (Jrecnville men quickly became
issatistled, and nine of them left for
artow, reaching there without money
ul being forced to,.pawn their clothes,
atciies and shoes tor food and" lodging,
hey were followed by liriddick, who
sized them as violators of contract and
andlcd some of them very roughly,
ogan -Walker says this man came on
im as he was sleeping in a house and
.tacked him with u pistol, striking him
terrible blow on the head, \vitn .the
utt. Two of the Greenville men ?;sijied
from Bartow. Tlie other seven
ere marched hack to Lothair and put
> work, some of them haviifg been badr
beaten.
Alfred Walker says when he reached
artow he found his brother gone. lie
as warned by merchants and other cit:ens
of Bartow airainst iroiiiir to f.nth.iir
:ul told that Briddiek was "a rough
lan." lie pushed on. however, walk?g
over several swamp lakes which
ere hard frozen, and when he reached
othair found his brother. He says the
hite men treated him Very well and
lade no trouble about letting Logan go,
[though they claimed to hold their
ands by contract. The Greenville men
?y they signed no contract, and made
one definitely.
If Alfred Walker's information is co*-:et,
and there seems 110 reason to doubt
, the men remaining on the turpentine
inn are virtually slaves. He says the
inn is divided by a river and that eighf
or one hundred men are employed
n it. They are paid l}? cents per box
>r boxing turpentine trees and are reuirod
to inuke their boxes measure so
lany inches broad and long. The avrage
hand can box fifteen a day. The
est hand on the farm an old man, could
ox from' forty to fifty, earning thereby
;om 50 tp62J.? cents per day and boardig
himself. This old man, Alfred
Valker says, has been on the place
sr three years, and, like the others, is
frnid to leave, because when they do
un away they are sure to be pursued;
aught, beaten and punished, their poor
ay and the high prices for f6od koeprig
them in debt to the owners and
reventing thom from accumulating

think Logan was allowed to come
lecause it was feared that he would die.

Death to the Tenant.
1- "Well, yes, its a. little tight on the
I. street now," said a prominent liast Hay
'8 merchant yesterday, "but it could hard- i
ly ho.anything else, seeing the condi- i
?- tion of things. Money is very scarce,
(I I?nt its till owing to the low price of '
|
ic cotton The fact is, farmers and others 1
t- are holding back for higher prices, I
s which causes the money market to be
is a little tight. A planter has a hundred 1
bales of cotton here, say in the hands i
, of his factor, to secure advances. The I
factor wants his money,- it is true, but i
.1. still he doesn't like to sell until direct- '
y cd to do so by his consignee. That is '
i- what causes the scarcity of money. I 1
o suppose it will come right after a.while. '
When the whole crop is sold out I ex- <
c pect vou will lind that it is not as short '
ie as some people think. Do I think that '
the price will rise? Well, I'm surs <
is 1 don't know. I hope so, although I <
; don't deal in cotton myself and have jjo <
; means of knowing anything about the '
n range of prices."' i
d "'What do you find to be the effect of 1
r- the priority lien law ?" 1
(1 ) "Well, I don't know. You see 1
d there's r> funny side to that law. I have
a shrev.'d suspicion-that a good many of '
is the members of the House voted for '
n that priority bill with the ?" a that ic *
wou'.d be a blow at the Charleston mer- 1
chants. Well, if so, they were mista- 1
y ken. The truth of the matter is, we 1
don't do any lien business to speak of. 1
h It is the country merchants who are af- 1
s fected by the new lien law. I have no
)- means of knowing yet how it will affect 1
, them:'.'
i- Later iii the clay tho Reporter met a
r- prominent citizen from Orangeburg.
:o "The priority lien law," said he, "is
1- working great hardship on the county, 1
a just as I feared it would, while tho disy
eussion was going on in the Legisiature.
ijC The landlord is nil right undor-it. Ho
it has a first lien on the crop but it leaves
2- the merchant out in the cold. Still the
;r merchant can't very well complain. He
>. can take care of himself* very easi I y by 1
3. refusing to make advances on liens. It
is is the poor tenant who is caught between
the upper and nether millstones,
e and who is going to be ground into exie
ccedingly fine powder. There are thou- 1
t. sands of .potir white men, as well as
ri colored men, in this State who rent
;e lands for cultivation. They have occurs
pied and cultivated a considerable area
1! of land in this Stntp wtiinti Knt
le thoni would to this day have remained
.0 uncultivated.1 The lien law enabled '
>r them to get supplies, make .their little
,0 crops, and even if they didn't make (oris
tunes it gave them a living for themrs
selves and families.
jr. What are ihese men going to do now ?
They ?:an'tget supplies, because no one
il. will advance them when the landlord
t- and laborer have both liens which are
s- entitled to priority, even without re:o
cording or indexing. They will have to
?d staive. I guess, 01* emigrate. In the
w meantime, the merchants in our section
[^8 are doing nothing. Like so many Mile
cawbers they are sitting down waiting
H? for something to turn up. I am very
>2 much afraid that nothing will turn up."
