Special



prosperous year for Hagerman and
its vicinity. Although the late
spring damaged the early fruit and
gardens some, the later crops were
fine and as there was good mark
ct prices were good and as a conse-
quence the country is growing and
improving rapidly. Among some
of the noticeable improvement is is
the institution of the "Hagerman
State Bank" with J. E. Clinton Jr.
president; w. L. Coltharp, vice
president; and P. E. DuSault,
cashier, the following are the di-
rectors: J E. Clinton Jr.. .. f.
Bacon, O. P. Johnson, w. L. Col
tharp, E. M. Bell and P. E Du-
Sault. At present the banking
business is done in the Morris,
Robert Co., store, but neat rock
building is nearly completed, in
which the bank will be situated.
During the summer, Billy Col
tharp-the builder of Hagerman-
put in gravity system of water
works, which supplies the town
with an abundance of pure spring
water from reservoir, into which
the water is filtered through bed
of sand and gravel. Among the
building Improvements may be
noted Paul Gurley's new house, the
near completion of Clas. Gustin's
residence, neat addition to the
house of Lee Boyer, the enlarge
ment and the neat finish OF the
city hall, and the commencement
of a fine cottage residence by Mrs.
NJ. F. Berry.
The ranches have all been i'm
proved more or less. Mr., Brails-
ford, whe purchased the Cannella
ranch last spring, has improved it
by adding new buildings, and
clearing and seeding new ground,
until it does not look like the same
ranch. These are only few of
the Improvements that have been
made here, but they serve to show
that Hagerman is steadily pro-
crossing
Quite number of children havs
the whooping cough and had colds
in this vicinity, and several older
people are suffering from rheuma-
tism.

AN OPIMIOn OR ELORDA.
By Rev. Luther q Hutchsss.l
SO many times have I been asked

BY Rev, Luther q HutehS8s.l
SO many times have been asked the
question, what do you think Of our
State7," since l settled within her Dor
ders near two years ago, that shall,
through the courtesy extended me by
the enteTpriSing editor, give my answer
to the above question in the columns of
this most excellent paper.
Take but one glance at the boundless
wealth of the State as it lies hidden in
her natural resources; the vast acreage
of grazing land, over which roam the
thousands Of range cattle; the thous-
ands Of acres of lat least) semi-fertile
soil, where there springs forth, by the
aid of light fertilizing, the abundance of
cotton, corn, potatoes, cane and other
like products; the thousands of acres of
fruit orchards, teeming with luscious
fruit, sufficient TO meet the demands Of
king; still yet a vast acreage where
1.-The melons smile upon the vine;" nu-
merous lazy lakes Astounding with fish;
navigable streams where ply goodly-siz-
ed steamers; thousands of miles of
coast line, where, on every incoming
tide, hundreds Of dollars are thrown
upon her shores in the form of salt fish;
vast boundaries of timber land, where
fortunes lie hidden in the finest timber
on earth; considering the age of the
State and her opportunities as good
schools and churches as could be ex-
pected; most kind and hospitable peo-
pie; the finest climate on earth; bat lit
tie sickness; a fairly good government,
and sunshine all the YEAR, Florida hangs
as promising bud upon this national
rosebush, and with little care, little
more of the spirit Of enterp rise, a
deeper religious interest; trained by
little improved educational system with
better school houses and higher educa-
tional ideals; protected by good legisla-
ton; favored as she is and developing as
she is this State of Florida lin our opin-
ion) is destined to bloom out in the near
future as the most beautiful and grand
of any State in the Union.
God give US God-fearing people saved
from sin and redeemed by the blood of
Jesus Christ. Amid all the mad rush
of worldly affairs, let US not forget to
honor God and look we'll after His king
dom.

COULDN'T DO WITHOUT IT.

Good things usually come high, but
people will have them nowadays.
Railroad commissions are somewhat ex-
pensive, but it is believed they are
worth more than they cost and few
States would now think they could get
along without their railroad commits
sions. From the Palatka Times Herald,
which may always be depended on to
know when anything is doing, we clip
the following:
1.-THE salaries and expenses of the
Florida Railroad Commission for the
past year we're nearly thirteen thou
sand dollars. But, when one considers
the immense amount saved the shippers
of the State through the efforts OF this
body, this item of expense is not heavy.
Florida could i'll afford to have the com
mission abolished.
We have seen no estimate of the
amount the Commission has saved to
the shippers Of Florida last year, or any
other year. but from the language of
the Times-Herald we imagine that it
must run up into the hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars. 1t must be greatly in
excess Of $l3, 900 or the money paid the
Commission would be a very poor in
vestment, for there can be no doubt
that its existence tends greatly to retard
railroad construction in this State.
But STILL according to the language of
the Times-Herald, we must infer that
the shippers of the State are the only
ones benefited. If that is true, then all
the people of the State are taxed to
pay Sl3, 900 year for the benefit of the
comparatively few shippers; for surely
much less than one-half Of the people
of Florida are shippers of commodities
in any considerable amount by the rail-
roads.
1t would be very interesting for the
Teople of Florida to know, approx
mately. how much the Railroad Com
mission saved to the people and what
proportion of the people received direct
benefit, that is to say, share Of the
immense amount saved.
The above is taken from the Pensa-
cola News, edited and managed by Hon.
John g. Ward, who was Secretary of
the old Railroad Commission which was
abolished by the Legislature several
years before the present Commission
was created by another Legislature.

We complain If it gets a little cold
and disagreeable in Florida, and reports
come from abroad that the suffering
from storms, ice, sleet and snow is and
has been terrible. Who ever hears Of
business being completely stopped and
people and animals freezing to death in
Florida? Read Of it, even in Texas: "A
cold wave, accompanied by snow, is
sweeping over Northern Texas. The
thermometer registers % degrees. All
trains are delayed by the snow and
wire communications arc badly ham
pcred. "
