WE FAVOR AN APPROPRIATION.

We are in favor OF the United
states government making appropri-
atoms for the improvements of our
rivers and harbors. This has been
the policy of the government ever
since its creation and at no time and
no place has it met with very SER
ious opposition. These appropriations
have helped 10 increase the commerce
of the nation. and, incidentally. have
been of benefit to all the people.
We do not stop here. We also ia
vor the government making appropri-
atoms for the improvement of our
public highways.
Why should not our public high
ways, the same as our rivers and har-
bors. receive the fostering care of our
general government?
Why should not our highways,
trayersing as they do those sections
of our country, where our wheat and
corn and cotton and tobacco and all
other products of the soil, which have
made necessary the improvement of
our inIets. bays, rivers and harbors,
receive also the same measure Of i'm
provement by the government at
Washington?
Why should not the agriculturist the
same as the ship owner receive bene-
fits from the federal treasury, as he
contributes to it in the shape of taxes,
as much or more than the ship own
err?
Why should not the people residing
in the interior, receive the same meas
ure of protection as those living on the
seashore?
The one is as clearly within the
province of government as the other
and as the interior holds the whip
handle, by virtue of having the larg-
est number of voters, she can get gov
eminent appropriations if she makes
the demand for them.
To carry out the will of his con-
stituents is the duty-and the highest
duty-of a congressman.
As long as the interior, stretching
from ocean to ocean. and from the
lakes to the gulf, sleeps on her post
makes no stir-nothing will be done.
A man usually gets what he goes
for. and if these appropriations for the
improvement of our public highways
are asked for in the right spirit-the
spirit as though the people meant it
they viii get them.
Let's get them if We have to make
the demand for them our entire plat
form
We want macademized highways.
We also want public buildings in
our interior cities the same as has
been universally accorded to our sea
port cities.
We do not want To- rob Paul but we

PLANTS SACRIFICE.

Robert II. Plant was a high minded
Christian gentleman. IL is not neces-
sary for purposes of this item to go
into the causes of his failure. II may
have been the result Of "frenZied fin
anciering," or it may not. but the
agony this banker suffered when he
saw trust funds committed to his care
slipping irrecuperably away, no one
but an honorable man similarly plac-
ed can conceive.
Plant carried heavy life insurance
the bulk of which was payable to his
estate. When the real extent of loss
reached him and he saw he could not
make good, he put period to his ex-
istence with a bullet.
He gave his life for his friends.
Wicked" you say. We will not
discuss that. But when r. H. Plant
was buried his grave was banked six
feet high with roses. the offerings of
those friends for whom he gave his
life. And when mention of his name
is made in Macon today il is with
reyerence.-Palatka News.
Greater love hath no man than
this, that a man lay down his life for
his friends.-'St. John 1913.
This is what r. H. Plant did for the
friends who trusted him. He was yet
in the prime and vigor of manhood.
He had two banks.
He was a lover of fine stock and had
fine cows and fast horses. He had
an elegant home and the world held
out beautiful prospects for him, but
financial trouble came upon him and
rather than the friends who trusted
him should suffer he made a sacrifice
of his life. He fulfilled the text to the
last syllable and letter. He lay down
his life and than that no man hath
greater love. Surely Plant occupies
place near the great white throne.

Florida as a Vegetable Producing
State.

Vegetables are grown for d profit all
over the state. The same methods Of
cultivation are generally used here as
in other states. except that they are
adapted as to time Of planting through
the season, and Florida has the ad-
vantage of being able TO send its pro-
ducts to Northern and Western mar
kets at an earlier date than any OF
the states north of us, which enables
them to command a monopoly Of the
market as Well as prices. Many Of
these crops bring handsome returns.
Tomatoes. for instance. have yielded
as much as $1,000 per acre, but the
average is from $500 to $500. Irish po-
tatoes viii average nearly 800. let
tuce from $500 TO $500 per acre, and
celery as much as $1,000 per acre.
Melons Of every kind and variety

Marshall Field and His Maxins.

1t is said of Marshall Field that no
dollar of his was ever gained through
injury 10 his fellow, man. That is
pretty high tribute to pay the man
who came to be the greatest merchant
of his time and whose fortune runs
far up into the millions.
Mr.. Fields fortune is estimated at
between one hundred and one hundred
and fifty millions of dollars. Not all
of this was gained through mercantile
channels. to be sure, for much must
represent judicious investment of ear
ly earned profits; but Marshal Field
was no speculator no stock gambler,
no trust magnate. His fortune repre-
sents individual effort and individual
judgment.
At the outset of his business career
he laid down for himself certain max
inns which he once furnished in his
own words:
He never gives note.
He never buys share Of stock on
margin.
He is against speculation.
He is no borrower.
He has made it point not to in
cumber his business with mortgages.
He does business on a cash basis"
He tries TO sell on shorter time than
connections
He tries to sell the same grade of
goods for a smaller price.
He holds his customers to strict
meeting Of their obligations.
Perhaps MIR. Fields chief asset was
character. lie was ever recognized
man Of highest probity. and possessed
the supreme confidence Of the business
world from the time he made his first
start in Chicago To industry. ener-
gy. perseverance he added facul-
~ for invention that made him a pi-
-oneer In his chosen field of endeavor.
He believed he had always given
every man who dealt with him his
moneys worth. He built up a bust
ness second to none in the world, and
he leaves behind him what is far bet
