In another column OF this issue Of

road builder Of Florida whose ability
has been recognized by the National
Government by she appointment OF

Of the National Good Roads Associs-
ton, has an interesting article on prac-
tical road building the methods which
should be employed, aud the material
which should be used.
Senator Mann is good roads enthu-
siast not from any financial remurera-
tion. bat because OF the fact that he Is
devoted to the work. and is anxious 10
see Florida develop with other States
OF the Unisn in the matter OF con-
strueting highways for the comfprt
and convenience and economy OF her
people No man in Florida possesses
more practical ideas. because Senator
Mann has made an earnest study OF
the subject. Through his efforts the
people OF Florida are doe gratitude
for many miles Vt excellent and sub
s'autial roadway.
And now, since Senator Mann mss
come 10 be one Of us-a citizen OF

proposes to prosecute with more vigor

tion of good roads throughout the
county.
Several years ago Senator Mann at

was also attended by Hon Martin
