I have received a number
of from my old friends in
Pitt county as to what I have seen
and learned of this section of the
fair state of Florida. Since writ-
you last I have, of course, seen
and learned much of the
and must say that I like it better
every day.
The price of ordinary labor here
is 91.25 per day, hours.
Carpenters get from to
according to their experience and
ability. Since coining here I have
made from lo per day.
Of course I have done some con-
tract work. do not to lay
every one could come here and do
this well, I simply lay what I have
done.
For a man who wants to make

a new country and a young

There is no trouble to get work
most all of the time, and gel the
cash for it every night.
Everybody here seems to be oak-
log money.
climate is just the finest in
the world. We are close to the
ocean and enjoy a line breeze all
the time. I never saw a more
healthy country or liner water.
The price of kind is from US to

There arc also good public

I will say here, so that no
one may be misled, that the land is
not rich. The most of it is too

Bight And so is impossible
lo understand shy
who were in sympathy with
the war for the Union should be so
outraged on account of the war
which the States arc wag-
in the Philippine Islands. The
South fought for self-government;
more; not to put its -Inn
upon the but only to
achieve its own independence
to govern itself. The Filipinos arc
lighting for alone;
not to put their system upon the
Slates, but only for their
own independence. The cases arc
exactly parallel. And so, while
people may the
war in the Philippines as
justifiable invasion of the rights of
nun, mi Northerner who favored
the war against the South may
heard lo say that it is unjust or
without precedent, for his people
have done the same thing before,
with his approbation. Whether
it was better for the South to have

better for the Filipinos to have
