Dr. Robert W. Uazlett i? home from
a two nionthH' sojourn in Florida,
whither ho went early In January laat
with lil.s wife and daughter In qucut of
health for the former. The two latter
have remained behind for <1 yet further
sojourn, because of the good result*
thus far experienced, und will come
gradually north aH the season ad
vunces. The doctor is looking an xnouKn
the trip had agreed with him, and
speaks In glowing terms of the delight*
of the climate us a resort for Invalids,
as also for people In good health.
Ills Kojourn waa divided between Orlando,
in the Interior, and Duytona, on
the Atlantic cuast. Uoth places are
pleasant localities, but the former Is especially
attractive during the colder
weather. It is a prominent centre
In the orange belt and is in the
locality where ex-Senator Camden and
Colonel Chancellor, of Parkeroburg,
have oruugo groves. Two years ago it
claimed to have Mix or seven thousand
people, but to-day it would hardly
claim over two thousand. The explanation,
in the fewest number of words.
Is the great frost, or freeze rather, of
February s, 1885, whereby about five
millions of valuable property were
practically wiped out, and an impulse
given to emigration quite us strong as
that which had formerly attracted immigration.
People down there no longer
speak of the war as "the Iliad of
their woes," but ruther of "the great
freeze of '85," Just an at Charleston, 6.
C., for several years following 1886, they
spoke of the earthquake of that year ;is
the cap-sheaf of their calamities. Ah
an object lesson of the ruin the freeze
had wrought at Orlando, the doctor
was pointed to on old gentleman who
on February 7th, 1895, the day before
the calamity, had been offered $32,000
for his crop of oranges, on his treew?
Justaa they hung on that day?the having
an orchard of HO acres) but he
stood out for 538,000. That niHht a
north easter blew up, and the thermometer
dropped to 15 above zero, and was
us fatal as thu wind that blew out of
the flea "chilling and killing Annabel
I,ee." It swept the country as with the
besom of desolation, leaving practically
nothing to represent a crop valued
that year at half a million dollars in
that particular county, and, as was remarked.
wiped out trees valued at Ave
millions. The old man referred to, sup
poseu to oe worm uay *?w,uw ??..?
above all his debts, was sold out afterwards
to satisfy a bank debt of $18,000.
and his 140 acres did not bring the
amount of thu debt. In fact, the bank
failed, not only that bank but other
bank* throughout the belt, for they all
had debtors like th* old man. and all
their bills receivable had been blasted
by the north caster that blasted tiie oranges.
When the sun rose on the 8th
t ho fruit began to drop, and In two days
it covered the whole belt-?hundreds of
square miles in extent?two or three
layers deep, with what was once golden,
but now blackened oranges. At
once the heglra began. Just a* !t did
when the great Honunza mine wave out
In Nevada. The sale of property for a
song also begun. A plao* for which
Colonel Chancellor had offered $32,000
cash, sold for $3,600. The line property
in which Dr. Ilaziett and family hod
rooms and choice uccommodutlonn this
winter, which had cost (the house,
alone) several thousand dollars, was
sold for $1,200. In fact, values went all
fo pieces llk?? fancy slocks in a panic.
The furor was to ?*-ll and g?-t away.
Just what the freeze actually cost
Florida, has perhaps never been accurately
known, but an Immense sum,
mounting up to tens of millions, much
of It northern capital Invested like that
of Mvssrs. Camden and Chancellor.
These two, and many others like them,
who still had meatis left, began at once
to cut their trees off pretty close to the
ground, In order to let them grow again
to the best jtossible advantage, and
hence the country Is now a land of orange
bushes rather than of orange
trees, as It was two years ago. The
trees that wen* not thus cared for, but
abandoned, sprouted near the ground
and are growing wild and worthless to
a large extent. They have probably no
future. As to the others. It is yet a
problem as to Just what they will
amount to. Meanwhile there Is an apparent
compensation coming to the rescue
t>f Florida la the shape of the pine
apple, which Is giving former areas the
appearance of cabbage gardens rather
than groves of perennial green. The
opinion Is gaining ground that the pine
apple will more than take the place of
Ihe orange, and will be a more reliable
crop, because it can be protected. A
good large head sells for 50 cents by the
lot, and there is tin active shipping demand
from the north for all that are
raised In and uruund Orlando.
Hut for the north, Florida would be
poor Indeed. Somebody told the doctor
that at least a part of the natives lived
on fish In the summer and on Yankees
In winter. Northern capital set the
country in orange trees and Is now setting
it in pine apple, it also built th?%
railroads and the hotels, and keeps tho
country in circulating medium by the
expenditures of visitors who overrun
the country from Jacksonville to Key
West during the fall, winter and spring.
THE unprecedented sale of Dr. Hull's
Cough Syrup provokes competition:
but the people cling to Dr. Hull's Cough
Syrup.
