The South's Progress.

The Manufacturers Record has
compiled figures which show that the
south today is possessed of a pros
perity, a population, an agricultural
and commercial activity, as great as
the totals of all other parts of the
country in 1880. With the exception
of manufactured products, and the
value of assessed property. the south
of today is ahead of the combined
east, west and north of 1880.
The South. in 1905, had a population
of 5000. In 1880 the rest Of the
country had a population of $4,000
900.
In 1905 the south's railroad mileage
was $4,000. The mileage for the rest
of the country in 1880, was LOCO.
The south last year made 3,1OO. 900
tons of pig iron, against 100000 for
all the rest of the country in 1880:
mined 100000 tons of cola. against
S6,OO0,O00; made 6,244.OOO tons of coke.
against S,OOO,OOO; produced 42,4s5. 900
barrels of OIL against 26.OO0,00O.
The south's capital invested in cot
ton mills in 1906 was 1925 ,OOO, 900 as
of 25,OO0,OOO. In 1880 the rest of the
country in 1880; its annual lumber
mined 100000 tons of coal against
s164,0O0,00O; its annual farm products
sl,75O.0OO,OOO as against $1,55O, OOO, OOe.
These figures tell wonderful story.
fhey indicate that in another quarter
of a century, perhaps sooner, the
south Will be producing as much as
the rest of the country is todaw The
marvellous progress of the south is an
epic of ndustry.-Atlanta Journal

The Polk County Record seems to be
deeply grieved because the Tribune
failed to take up the Trammell can
didacy with the enthusiasm which
characterized its own approval of the
Polk county mans aspirations.
The Tribune was exceedingly indul-
gent toward Mr.. Trammell.
1t advised him that this was an in
suspicious time for him to submit his
Congressional aspirations to the peo-
pie.
Mr.. Trammell has taken the Trib-
une's advice and has retired from the
race-or, rather, did not enter it.
So, it would appear, Mr.. Trammell
believed that the Tribunes counsel
was more valuable than that of the
Polk County Record, which urged him
to make the race.
All of which shows that Mr.. Tram
nell is wise in his day and genera
ton and that the Polk County Record
editor is not yet sufficiently acclimat-
ed in the politics of South Florida t.
know what he is talking about.-Tam-
pa Tribune.

Parcels Post is Favored.

France, Germany, England and
Switzerland, have the parcel post, and
the man who receives my vote in the
future for congress or the United
States senate will have to favor the
people being benefited to this extent.
What we need is the parcel post,
and the present law positively forbid
ding a. package weighing more than
four pounds going through the mails,
is partly kept in force through the
influence of the big express compan-
les whose representative in Washing
ton is Tom c. Platt-the president of
one of the biggest express compan-
les.
This is a Captain Kidd law and
should be repealed. and my support
will go to the man who is in favor
Of the parcel post.
As soon as a man becomes a men,
Der of congress he secures a frank
telegraph, express, postal franks of all
characters, and he usually worries no
more. but the layman pays for what
he sends through the mails, by ex-
press and also pays for his kilograms.
We need to have our representatives
and senators speak plainly on this
matter.-James Harvey Phillips.

In a Nut Shell.

If Gov. Broward or the trustees of
the internal improvement fund were
to say to the people of Florida, Here
is pile of your money. 1t may be
spent for good roads, which without
doubt will be a great benefit to all.
but We think it better to use it in
draining the Everglades which may do
some good to somebody if we can ever
carry out the undertaking." What
would be the answer of the people?
Yet that is the proposition in a nut
shell.-Lakeland News.

Why hasn't our Hudson Burr. and

people in the upbuilding of the state?
Because they think they cannot low

would not If they could.
Why do they not lower rates? Be-
cause the railroads must have the in
