Tedly's ora- torical charges “foam themselves away" and leave no residuum of con- verts, He is talking too much for the good of his hoom and the more e talks the more it slumps. There is trouble for him now in Wlorida, given another short term in the penitentiary. In November, 1904, a shopkeeper in a suburb of Dallas was held up, robbed and Killed. Burrell Oates and a white man named Vann were arrested for the crime. Vann was convicted at a separate trial, and hanged. Oates was convicted: but the Court of Criminal Appeals reversed and remanded the case.

Abun- dance of cheap lands may yet be ob- tained in all the southern States, Of course these lands are not so low in iprlm- uas they once were, but they are '('hv:\p in comparison with good lands in the North and \West. This state of affairs applies more nearly to Florida, perhaps, than to lany other southern State, Here the {farmer can get three crops in onc year where the northern farmer gets iouly one. The homeseekers of th~ North and middle West have too largely over-looked the advantages that Florida has to offer. They have been too frequently looking to the far West and even to (‘anada to find homes in deserts and in the wilder- ness under most adverse climati: conditions. In the meantime some of the best lands in Florida are be- ing gobbled up by speculators, who are waiting for the increased values which are sure to come.
