WILLIS 3. POWELL, 1T


Travelling by steamer is slow, but
it is mighty comfortable. and my trip
on the elegant steamer Oliyette from
Key West to Port Tampa was one OF
the pleasantest features of the entire
journey, At Tampa. President Thos
j. L. Brown, of the Chamber of Com
merce, (also president of the Florida
State Fair insisted on my being his
guest for day and on seeing
Tampa" with him. And right here let
me say that the Fiorioian who has
not seen Tampa has missed not only
one of the biggest things in Florida
but a nice little slice of life itself.
Tampa is a marvellous place. 1t
was revelation to me. knew some
thing Of the business which Jackson
vile did and had vague idea that
Tampa was probably trailing in be-
hind somewhere with fair business
showing and future that, in com
mon with the future of Florida cities
generally, was regarded as somewhat
better than the customary word,
promising" imaies.s But the magni-
tude of Tampa's business develop
ment is not a matter of future"
speculation-it is a tangible, virile.
gigantic present reality-and you
will have to find a stronger word than
promising" to describe the great fu-
ture which the Cigar City is destined
to enjoy. With no disparagement of
Jacksonville. which everyone recog-
nizes as the metropolis of the state,
and in no spirit of disloyalty to my
own Deep Water City of Pensacola,
which believe is sometime to enjoy
the greatest maritime commerce on
the Gulf, it must be blind man who
could not see IN Tampa a present
business activity and general prosper
ity that surpasses any other city in
the state-and what the future holds
in store for her no prophet could safe
ly predict.
The last state census gives Tampa
Including West Tampa and Fort
Brook population of 1856, though
the city now claims something like
10000. But be that as it may, here
are few figures to show what they
did there in certain lines of business
for 1906:
Total Government revenue 81. .7fo,o27.97
Clear Havana Cigar, output -2z0, ,o0o, 600
cigar Factory payroll. .Sz,25o,0O0
Value OF Cigar Product ....... sic. 500 900
Bank Deposits, Dec. 81, 1906. Sc, ,5oe, ,eo4.5 SO
Value of Buildings erected - 81, ,3o7, As
The cigar factory pay rool for last
year averaged s140.000.00 per week,
and from an Investigation made by
the banks Of the city 1t is found that
an equal amount was disbursed in the
weekly pay roll OF other industries.
This year Tampa's weekly pay roll
for all industries combined will prob
ably average over s300,0O000. Think
Of that, On basis of 10000 popula-
ton. that is $1,000 each week for each
man. woman and child in the city, or
$4,000 each week for each family; or
more every month in the year than
the average circulation per capita

Rural Free Delivery
Not Appreciated.

While nearly all of the southern
states are working energetically to
secure an extension of the rural free
delivery service. it would seem, from
the following, from the Savannah
News, that the service is not appreciat-
ed in some places as it should be. The
News says:
1t appears that there are commu-
mites in this state that do not appre-
ciate the rural delivery service, and,
strange as it may seem, some of these
communities are close to Atlanta. We
have been led to believe that the peo-
pie round about that city were among
the most progressive and up-to-date
in the world, but If they don't think
enough of the rural delivery service
to pay the small sum of $1.25 every
five years for mail box in front of
their premises they can't be as pro-
gressive as the people of some of the
other states and other parts of this
state are. It may be that they don't
get sufficient number of letters to
justify them, in their opinion, in MAX
ing an outlay of 25 cents a year to
have their letters left close to their
homes, but don't they read the news
papers? One might suppose that they
don't appreciate the newspapers
printed in their nearby city These
newspapers are very good and doubt
less would help to make the rural
population Of Fulton and adjacent
counties better citizens If they would
read them.
But We don't propose to tell the
people Of those counties what their
duty in this matter is, but we do OBJ.
ject to have it spread abroad over the
country that there are communities
in. Georgia that don't appreciate the
rural delivery service. A statement
block the efforts of the immigration
association to bring immigrants from
other states to this state. People in
the Northwest, for instance, would
wonder what sort of community it
is that doesn't care for newspapers
and magazines sufficiently to have
them delivered at their homes. They
would hesitate to cast their lot with
people of lnat kind.
We suppose the Atlanta papers will
take this matter up and Jeli the ru-
raj residents within their reach that
they are making mistake in turn
ing their backs on the rural delivery
service. They will tell them that if
they want to keep abreast of the
world and prosper they will have to
read newspapers the first thing in the
morning after they have risen from
their beds, and TO do that they will
have to provide themselves with ru-
raj mail boxes. If the government
gets the impression that the rural
mail service isn't appreciated in any
part of this state, or, in fact, any
other state, steps will be taken to
discontinue IL so as to make the SER
vice better in communities where it
is appreciated.

The business spirit is crushing out the sweeter element of home life. We are in danger of a great commercial decline, because men. as whole. think only of getting wealth.
 There are thousands. both men ana women. who do not take time to eat properly. They rush through life, and as result We have an age of indiges- tion, nervousness. irritability, sleep less nights, and morose disposition.
