Florida and Her Riches.

Florida is rich in potter's clay; the
best market for the coarser wares of
the Trenton and Liverpool potteries is
South America, which stands ready TO
take all Florida can send. In New
Jersey and Ohio ingredients must be
imported from Germany Florida
could save that expense, but it does
not pay to ship the clay. and we have
no potteries.
Oak and hemlock for tanning are
becoming costly-Florida has the tam
ming everywhere in her palmetto, Of
the richest and best.
Some of us tell eagerly how easy it
was for the first corners to get rich.
1t is also plain that the last conner will
have enough material for wealth if he
possess but the industry and spirit of
those who preceded him. If you want
to get rich come to Florida. but when
you get here use your brain as we'll as
your hands.-Lakeland News.

Stetson University.

A number of papers in this and 9TH
er states are bemoaning the fact that
the venerable philanthropist, John b.
Stetson made no provision in his will
for the university at DeLand which he
did so much for during his lifetime
But much of this worry we hope will
be uncalled for, and we feel confident
that the widow of Mr.. Stetson will not
forget this noble institution and the
interest taken in it's welfare by her
late husband.
But should this prove to be the
case, there are other men of means
who are interested in education, and
it is quite certain that a place of
learning so well begun will not be
allowed to pass out of existence on
account of the death of one man.
Stetson university is a credit to the
state Of Florida, and credit to the
Baptist church, and is an established
place of learning that the entire peo-
pie of Florida would not allow to be
disturbed for the want of money, and
we hope to see it prosper in the years
to come. the same as though the peo-
pie had never known it bore the name
Of the good man who did so much 10
make it known throughout the land.
Though Mr.. Stetson be dead the
university will live.-Gainesville Sun.

err Collins, of The True Democrat, is
up tree picking Off incautious mem

are people right here in this state who
doubt that the press of Florida is the
sleepless sentinel on the watchtower

palladium of our constitutional rights

Governor Broward is now busily en-
gagged in making preparations to drain
the Everglades. Owing to the great
amount of work and worry attached
TO the venture, would it not be a good
idea to wait until the Panama Canal
is dug and have the same force move
their machinery over on the Three

money paid in attorneys fees by the
Internal Improvement Fund would
pay for the work within a few years.,
