THE CONCOR
D DAILY TRIBUNE
| BELIFA-ES FLORIDA IS NOW IN
, THROES OF CASE OF HYSTERIA
j Captain George F. Meare* Paints a
/ Vivid Picture of “Boem” Condi
* tions.
Edward E. Britton in Raleigh News
and Observer.
Wasliington, Sept. 21.—Washing
tonians are literally being bombarded
with literature telling of the wonder
ful chances for making big money by
Investing in lands in Florida, and
there have been oi»cneti here many of
fices for pushing the sales of these
Florida lands. So great has become
the activity that business organiza
tions here have started into investi
gations in order to see if there are
any bunch schemes being worker, for
it is the belief that there is much fakii
business going on by speculators and
sharpers who find this a most excel
lent season for fleecing the unwary.
What is going on in Washington is
going on in other places in varying
degrees, and warnings are being given .
to prospective investors in Florida
real estate to investigate fully before
they yield up their cash.
In this connection, a letter has
come to Washington to Iredell Meares,
| formerly of Wilmington, who is now
practicing law here, from his son,
| Onpt. (ieo. F. Meares. who was a sen
, ior lieutenant in the I’nited States
i Navy, and who is now First Mate on
| the S. S. Glendala, which reached Mi
i ami on September Bth, carrying a b : g
1 cargo of buildiiig material. In the
, course of his letter t’aptnin Meares
tells of affairs which may prove prof
itable reading to those who are think
| ing of heading into Florida, to make
a fortune over night, his letter of
; September 10th to his father in tlrs
| respect reading:
Meares* Letter.
i “Miami is quite insane on the sub
' jeet of real estate. It is indeed the
| whole topic of conversation. And not
i without some reason, for property
1 values have steadily sky-rocketed un
!: til none save a millionaire can buy a
i. home in the best residential section. 1
| understand as much as half a million
,! dollars have been paid for a residence
i site. Ten years ago such a sum would’
j have bought a whole county. Real es
>■ tate speculators have grown rich over
i night. Seventy-five per cent, of the
i people here are realtors, either ama
i teur or profesional. Certainly every
| other office on main streets shelter the
, sales department of some new devel
l opment. And the Coasting claims that
| are made for each.
) “One cannot promenade the streets
| without having fascinating literature
I thrust upon him at every turn and
l being fairly hypnotized into the sotto
j voiced promises of truly tremendous
> financial returns. The nimble way in
| which fabulous millions play upon
I these people's tongues is most refresh
) ing, after a hard day on the Gleudola’s
[ decks.. Last winter a hater breath
I stranger swooped down upon me and
) wanted to sell a lot for $3,000 on a
[ sandhill fifty miles from here which
i would be worth, unquestionably, he
1 pleaded, some thirty thousand dollars
, by Christmas. And so adinfinitqm.
i ‘The i lost attractive—in my opin
-1 ion—building sites arc the little arti
i ficial islands which are beginning to
1 dot Biscflyune Bay, upon which Miami
J faces. The bay is a large sheet of
shallow water. The site of the fn
, ture island is fiyst encircled with a
? concrete fence, so to speak. Suction
| dredges then dig up sand, shell and
I coral from the neighboring waters and
i empty it into this walled off ring. Be
| hold in a few months, one has a liG
I tie gem of an island made to order,
i Stately palms, lush-green and a riot
j of flowers are planted. The soil from
I the bay's bottom must be very fertile,
* for these plants take root and grow
I with amazing speed. Now place a
l large house of old Spanish mission
' type, hollow tile construction, and
l stucco finish, with cloister, porticos
i and galleries on the center of this
| emerald island afloat on a sapphire
i sea and there you are. The beauty
' and charm of some of these little
! places are exquisite to a degree, but
i these present day costs would stagger
1 Rockefeller. Practically all of the
i now building around Miami is of this
i Spanish type. Many of them are
| dreams of the purest perfection. This
i applies to the tiny little bungalows as
1 well as to the big mansions. Some
[ day, if I come here again. I shall
i bring a kodak and photographs those
| I like best. This ensemble would be
an epitome for the house-builder.
Case of Hysteria.
"But I cannot see what is basically
sound behind this development. To
me, it seems to be a case of hysteria
praying upon humanity’s well-known
proneness to follow, sheep-like, its
leader. The climate is intensely hot in
summer, the port is no good for deep
water ships, the railroad facilities are
not sueh as would make it a natural
terminal for ocean trade, nor does its
geographical location fit it for such.
Except ns a rich man's playground, I
can't see it. A collapse to its boom is
sure to come. Prices here for the or
dinary things of life are like unto the
Klondike."

HAPPY DREAMS. '
A Boston Baked Lad.

Tommy (age six) was deeply en- j
grossed in a book of philosophical j
logic, and his brow was wrinkled in j
concentrated thought. Downstairs in j
the kitchen his mother was strug
gling with the copper fire, which
somehow would not catch fire.
"Tommy”, said his - mother, “fetch
me a stick of wood.”
“Ah, mother,” replied Tommy “the
grammatical portion of your educa
tion has been sadly neglected. You j
should say, Thomas, my son, trans-}
Port from that recumbent collection!
of combustible material on the
threshold of this edifice one of those
curtailed excrescences of defunct
log.”
“What was the name of the last
station we stopped at. mother?”
“I don’t know. Be quiet. I’m
working out a crossword puzzle.”
“It’s a pity you don't know the
name, mother, because little Oscar got
out of the train there!”
“John, you seem fond of going to
the pictures lately. What's the rea
son?”
“It’s such a relief, dear,” replied
her husband, “to see women opening
their mouths without hearing them!”

THAT UNION COUNTY MUTILA
TION CASE.
■ Monroe Enquirer.
| 1 see by the papers there has been
J mild or suggestive criticism iu regard
j to the affair on the Charlotte -road
j early Sunday morning. Every com-
I munity has its undesirables, and of
j eers cannot always arrest criminals
j within a few hours after crime has
I been committed. At least there are
I some towns and cities in North Caro
lina that have allowed criminals to
escape.
That half the world knows not how
the other half lives no doubt has been
verified in the terrible occurrence right
here at our door. And here's a possi
ble triangle eternal:
A wife who is the mother of
A 15-year-old daughter, and
A husband who is a step-father.
All ignorant aud below the average
in mentality.
The husband and step-father a
drinking man.
Drunk the night the criminal oper
ation was performed niton him.
Numerous “gentlemen friends" of
the family paying frequent visits, ac
cording to report.
And Turner Blanchard was not
maltreated because he owed a “gro
cery bill.”
Now the strange part of the en
tire affair is the reticence of the per
sons involved. Turner Blanchard will
not talk. Mrs. Blanchard will not
talk. Marie Griffin, the step-daugh
ter, has not told all she knows.

and apparent indifference in getting at
the bottom of the matter have disgust
ed tin- sheriff and other officers who
would help them in their trouble.
Also officers have been unable to
trace any sign of an automobile that
Mrs. Blanchard aud her husband said
contained the three or four men, and
which was used in kidnapping the vic
tim.
Blanchard told Sheriff Fowler that,
lie ate breakfast with his family early
in the morning after his harrowing ex
perience.
The officers indeed are leaving no
stone unturned in ferreting out the
affair. And it is only a question of
time until they will get a line on the
dirty occurrence, and which will read
like fiction, involving perhaps no one
except the family and close relatives
of the family.
Blanchard is still in the hospital,
rapidly recovering and will be out
again in a few days.
