THE Irishwomen never worry" said
q woman who has mixed much in the

America have drained off the progress

Those who are left are Of a placid,

claim that the conditions were mis-

be so because the conditions must
have been apparent. They were

PROSPEROUS CITIES.

Our dry campaign speakers have
had a good deal to say about the pros
porous cities of Florida and refer to
Tallahassee, Live Oak. Lake City and
Gainesville as examples.
1t is our opinion that the cities
named, nor no other cities in the in
terror of Florida. are prosperous, or
can ever become prosperous, as long
as the present freight rates continue.
Ocala is as prosperous, we believe,
as any interior city in the state, but
it is bound hand and foot, and wheth-
er it goes wet or dry in the pending
election it can never hope to become
a city unless its freight rates undergo
a very radical change.
One hundred and thirty dollars on
outgoing freights, in car lots. and the
excess charges running it up in some
instances TO two hundred dollars, is a
killing frost to our trucking business,
and the rates to interior points are
alike prohibitive.
The prosperous cities in Florida are
the seaport cities-Jacksonville Key
West, Pensacola, Tampa, Miami, etc.
and these cities are prosperous be-
cause of the advantage they enjoy
over the interior cities in freight
rates.
In the matter of prosperity. the
wet or dry argument cuts very little
