Drainage Of
The Everglades.

The following timely article. rela-
tive to the Everglades drainage propO-
siti0n which appeared IN a recent is
sue of the Fort Myers Press, viii have
a tendency 60 correct an erroneous
Impression that seems TO prevail, TO
ne edect that Lake Okechobee is to
be drained as vel as the swamp lands
b the south OF that body Of water;
The term draining the Everglades
has been used so frequently that many
people have gained the impression
thd the Everglades and Lake OkechO-
bee are one and the same, and that 10
drain such large body Of water as
Lake Okech0bee would ruin the c.
mate of the southern end of the pen
Ursula of Florida. The fact Is that
the Everglades are south Of the lake
and below 81. To drain Lake OkechO-
bee fl would be necessary to dig ca
mails IS % 20 feet I'm depth, and this.
OF COURSE. would be tmpracricable.
The most that can be hoped for by
Gov. BrOward in carrying out his
drainage plans, is TO lower this great
lake (which covers an area Of 1,2OO
square miles, permanently from four

cd II win drain thousands Of acres
OF sawgrass lands on or about the
Eame level as the surface Of the lake.
and cause the Everglades to dry up,
except IN some Of the deeper lagOons.
The Everglades can never be
classed as a sheet Of water, even in
the wettest part Of the year, and with
the overflow of Lake OkeChObee
turned into canals running TO ocean
and gulf and not only carrying OF
this overflow Of the lake but also the
waters of the Everglades, the plaH

Pensacola has a street commissiOn-
er named Gingles, who upon the first
appearance Of yellow fever in tina;
city, secured an indefinite leave Of
absence and took to the wOOds-and
safety Gingles has since been in re
tirement and notwithstanding a Sc
we're prodding by the city authorities
and the Pensacola press he refuses
ito come out. During the yellow fever
panic the Gingles episode has fur
I.ished about the only diversion the
Pensacola press could lay hands on
and it has been maze the most OF.
Discussing the latest attitude OF
the case the Pensacola cOTrespOn-
dent Of the Montgomery Advertiser
tells us that at last the scalp OF
GingIes has been claimed. He says;
Street Superintendent Charles H
Gingles was discharged by the board
Of public works at a special meeting
last evening. Mayor Bliss was pres
ent at the meeting and he advOcat-
ed the discharge of the superintendent
Mr.. Zelius, another member of the
hoard said that he was not sure that
Mr.. Gingles had been given sufficient
warning. and wanted a personal state
ment from the superint endent before
acting. tt was finally decided to have.
a talk with Mr.. Gingles, who IS about
forty miles in the country. The long
distance telephone was brought into
requisitiOn and the street superinten-
dent and the mayor were soon in con-
versation. Mr.. Gingles promptly an
nounced, SO the mayor said, that he

plying that he would remain in the
country until the fever had subsidized
He said he had been given an in
definite leave of absence and would
propose to take advantage Of it. The
mayor again convened the board and
a resolution declaring the Office va
cant was introduced and passed. The
work on the streets was left temper
arily to the assistant superintendent
Mr.. SpOttswOod has refused to be az
the head of the department and an
ether man will be chosen at a COM
ing meeting. Mr.. Gingles was elected
to the council last June. A short time
the Office of street superin-
tendent was made vacant by the res
ignatiOn of John Burns. and this va
cancy was filed by the election of Mr.
Gingles, who resigned from the eOun
ell. At the breaking out of the few
or, he asked for and was granted an
indefinite leave Of absence. There
was no stipulation that he should re-
turn at the pleasure of the board Of
public works, and it is thought that be
will be able to resume his duties upon
returning to the city"
To The Item it appears that Mr.
in the language of a Mobile
politician, has yellow streak of
mammoth proportions enciFcling his
broad girth The public official who
will run from yellow fever or other
disease should forever put
his political ambitions at rest.
Gingles is a gutter, pure and sim
PIE, and he should remain where he
now repOses-" among the tall and

lieutenant governor, and has repre-
scented Lawrence and Jefferson county
In the legislature He has been
grand master of the MasOns Of Ala
bama. He is as well known as any
public man in the state. he has
statewide fame as an orator, and Mr..
Conner has challenged his best efforts
in that line by stating that Dr.. Cum
ningham cannot car-y oIt his an
nOunced policy, however willing he
may be.
Mr. Conner has been for years one
of the prominent busiess men Of the

in the South, and has large agricul.
ural. commercial and cotton mill in
terests. He is at present president Of
the railroad commission, elected by
the people by an overwhelming vote.
he made a campaign of the state, and
is very widely known.
Those are the two men who have
presented themselves 60 the people
asking for the highest Office the vOt-
ers can give. One or the other viii
be elected. The people by direct vote
wiz say which. There viii be a strong
holly contested campaign. Dr. Gun.
ningham has given the state his ideas
on the public questions before them
particularly the regulation of railroad
rates. Mr.. Conner has said on the
stump that Dr. Cunningham's plat
form is more radical on rates man
his This was reported as part of
his Huntsville speech. In his ITALIA
dega speech, he said that DR.. Gun
ningham could not carry out his ex
pressed ideas because he would be
under obligations that would impede
him.

paign. IL is the crux, the focus, the
point Of impact 1t Is here that me
electric spark is generated. The cam
paign IS open. The people are ready
to hear, and the Ledger suggests that
a Joint debate should be held here,
where the issues can be clearly laid
and accurately disseminated.
