During the roll call there had been

There was also big revolt against

Fithian made fiery protest against
the nomination of the Ohio editor. 1t
was at this critical juncture that Me-
Leans telegram was read by one Of the
Ohio delegates. The telegram stated
that 1t was McLean's wish that he
should not be balloted for. Delegate

A Reply to another Inquirer

Editor Morning News: Sir-I see in the
Press of Another Inquirer is seeking
information about the roads, business,
etc. of the county. He seems to take it
that I am worried" over the Ogeechee
road improvement. A. l. is mistaken;
am not worried, but confess to be a little
bothered over a problem of which the
Ogeechee road is the basis. Maybe A. l.
can offer a solution. If it has taken the
county commissioners twelve months to
build five and one-quarter miles of hard
road at a cost of, say $4,000, how can
they. in six months, build twelve miles of
hard road with $4,000? This problem, 1
think, would make capital prize puzzle.
l fear A. /. has not read my letters at
tentiveiy. My comparison of the road
work done and the amounts expended
therefor by the present and former boards
Of commissioners was brought out by
published statement of Commissioner
Chaplin rather rejecting on his predeces-
sors. 1t merely showed that in the last
year and a half the present board had
expended several thousand dollars more
for road work than their predecessors
had done In all of the twelve years, and
that the results accomplished would not
permit the commissioners of to-day any

Some years ago there was an uptown
movement that became a regular boom,
and three or four large brick blocks were
erected above the Sanford house, on the
main street. Within the past two years,
however, there has been a slow but steady
reaction, and new brick blocks have gone
up near the depot, and into these many
of the occupants of the uptown stores
have moved. The latest removal is that
of Mettinger's big dry goods house, that
comes down to occupy two handsome
stores next to the postoffice In the new
Hotchkiss block PAGES big dry goods es-
Establishment, that occupied two very large
stores in the Stone and Grove block, I'M
der its new proprietor has also moved
down town. Despite this downward"
movement nonresident capitalists. who
have put their money into brick blocks
here, are not discouraged. DIR. ]. N.
Bishop, one Of this class, has been tour
ing through Canada and is now out west,
and he finds things out of joint every
where. Writing to the Gate City Chroni-
Gle, he says: ALLOW me to tell those
who may have feelings OF discomfort In
Florida that they are not alone in having
trials of this life; but they have so many
advantages over those in the west and
north that / am confident Florida is Civ
ing, and will give, to them as much as
they can get elsewhere" Fortunately,
fact that hundreds have come back to
Florida since the freeze, after a vain
search for a more desirable place to live.
The death Of Capt. M. Il. Bean of st.
Augustine deserves more than a mere
passing mention. Although a native of the
far-off state of Maine, he it was who,
coming to Florida from the Pacific coast
in 1876, first discovered that our worth
less scrub palmetto roots would yield a
fannie acid suitable for tanning all kinds
of hides. But only during the last years
of his long and useful life did he see this
discovery properly appreciated. AL over
Florida to-day can be found as here In
Sanford-large and prosperous tanneries,
which use the fannie acid from palmetto
roots. The leather thus tanned has been
fairly tested and found equal to that
tanned by the old process.
The Plant system has just made a much
needed addition TO the shops here,to meet
the increase in mechanics and machinists
now engaged, and the unusual amount of
work on hand. In fact, this is the busiest
year ever known In the shops, as the
Plant system has been rapidly getting all
its departments into proper shape, divid-
ing up the system into easily managed
divisions, and putting only competent, re-
liable men at the head OF each department.
First and last there has been considera-
Bile Of shaking up" and a good many
changes have been made, but the public
has begun 20 see the good results OF all
this systematic labor. New men and new
methods have swept old men and old
methods aside, and the Plant system
hopes to more fully show the good re-
suits of this as soon as the busy season
fairly opens.
