products to market. It cannot be
denied that good roads would ben

can be hauled over good clay roads
but much valuable time can be
saved. Travelling in lighter vehi-
Giles such as buggies, carriages and
bicycles and on horse back will
also receive a wonderful impetus
To build such roads in a durable
and economical manner will be the
leading questions under considera-
ton at the Orlando convention.
Men who have had years of expe-
renee will be present to tell what
they know about building goo5
roads. The time to build, the way
to build, the best material to

The Orange City bark that was
forced to close its doors last week
is manifesting a spirit of honor
and Justice that is certainly com
mendable. Mr.. J. E. Stil!man, the
president says that every dollar
belonging to the depositors will be
paid to them" He says also
"that he proposes to protect the
depositors, and for this purpose
will secure funds on his lif, in
surance policy if sufficient money
cannot be realized upon the assets
OF the bank" The people cf Or
ange City are to be congratulated
in having such man to handle
their money.
An honest failure, when coupled
with a manly fort to make 1esti-
tuition and reparation, is worthy
and will invariably receive the
sympathy of the depositors even
though they be losers. If Presi-
dent Stillman had secretly dis
posed of his personal property and
principle assets OF the bank to
save himself or some preferred
creditors at the expense Of the
';zed depositorS be would be
only to the Utmost con-
of suffering public.
