THE FREE SPEECH SPEAKIN’S
Straight Creek is the section of Bell County that has been organised fairly solid under the National Miners Union. Owing, the miners say, to the fair-minded attitude of the Sheriff, who has not allowed the mine guards to molest them, there has been no bloodshed, and a three weeks’ strike ended the week before we got there with several small independent operators signing agreements with the union at thirty-eight cents a ton and allowing a union check weighman.¹ (The boy who was check weighman told me that in the mine where he worked one cwt. weighed eighty pounds when he

Florida loses a statesman, but Douglass' chronicles will endure
Tallahassee lawyer Dexter Douglass, who died Sept. 17, was one of Florida's great storytellers -- and one of the last in the state's political elite to exploit that verbal gift perennially for the public good. Douglass spun stories with gusto, as did his allies: Lawton Chiles, Mallory Horne, Chesterfield Smith and Burke Kibler.

NORTH FLORIDA'S 'JUNK' PARCELS ANYTHING BUT
[Cebe Tate]'s Hell's terrain can stop a tank. The wetlands of Tate's Hell resemble another bog of legend: the Fire Swamp in William Goldman's The Princess Bride. Cottonmouths, snapping turtles and gators cross countless creeks. Fire ants dot the roadside, threatening anyone stopping long enough to snap a photo. The savannah's tall grasses draw blood - and in this park, anything worse than a scrape can turn septic en route to its lone ranger station. Tallahassee painter Stuart Riordan suggests that corporate advertising of Florida's wilderness can generate tourism. \"Buses could be wrapped with a beautiful scene of the state park that the corporation endorses, with company logo highly visible. For example, 'Wells Fargo loves Wakulla Springs,' beside a relevant graphic. Many people don't know the beauty of North Florida's state parks. This could be a new merger of conservation, art, and business for Florida,\" says Riordan. On a clear autumn evening, Tate's Hell State Forest resembles a scene from Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow - anything but a Florida postcard. The air is cool and crisp. The light is as majestic and clarifying as Martha's Vineyard's. Century-old red-headed cypresses lose their leaves and become skeletons. Black creeks slowly empty the season's losses into the Gulf of Mexico, where the water turns the aquamarine that the Sunshine State sells to the world.
