who claimed to be divinely in
spired, but proved not to be-
we have had to pay the penalty.
The penalty has been one ag~
gregating hundreds of millions
of dollars of loss to the South;
it has meant the impoverish-
ment of thousands who are with
out employment, while twelve
months ago there was more
work to be done than there
We're workers to do it.
With analysis clear as crystal Mr.
Edmonds tracks his subject faithful
ly to each one of it's ramifying de-
tails.
He points out that capital is flow
ing, in tremendous volume, into far
away, inaccessible South America
into the remotest portions of the
Dominion of Canada 1t is ignoring
the South, with resources offering
vastly larger dividends, quicker div
idends, than either of these two for
mer localities.
Why? The answer is to our shame.
The reason for this change IS
InaC the South has not treaIeu
capital with entire fairness. The
wave of political Mysteries when
has swept over the South has
made the moneyed people of the
world afraid to invest there, ana
so we are not getting one tithe
as much of outside money as we
need for legitimate develop
ment, and which we readily
could command under wiser and
saner recognition of the right
OF capital to thorough recognl-
ton.
These are terrific indictments
brought against the sanity and the
conservatism and the justice OF tn1
South by man back of whose every
word stands study, poise, calmness..
His are deductions, his counsel tna'
1t would be suicidal to belittle or ls-
more.

1t is generally understood that the
Hoke Smith Club is furnishing the
team which a certain insurance
agent, who was recently elected to
Office by the voters of Terrell county,
is using in his trips over the coun-
ty. Having himself recently receiv-
ed the votes of the people does he
deem that he is now their especial
guardian, and that it is his duty to
instruct them how to vote?

A GAME PRESERVE
POLK COUNTY THE SCENE OF
AN IMMENSE ONE

A corporation, under style of
Lake Region Game and Fish
Preserve, with its main Office at
Lakeland, Fla, has secured the
exclusive hunting and fishing
privilege on $4,000 acres in the
lake region of Polk county, Fla,
for a term Of twenty-five years,
and is establishing the largest
game preserve in the south. This
section has more quail than else
where in this country; they are
everywhere in evidence and their
number will increase with pro-
lection. Besides quail, wild
turkeys, deer and bears are also
found in large numbers in the
upper part of this preserve, near
the Withlacoochee Swamp.
This preserve will be transferred
to the Seminole Club, now being
organized, and will be used ex-
clusively by its members. A nice
clubhouse will be erected in some
desirable location near Auburndale
and hunting camps will be estab-
lished in different parts of the
preserve. Each membership i'll
the Seminole Club carries with it a
building located at Auburndale in
order that every member may build
a winter home there, if so desired.
The beautiful little village of
Auburndale is located in the, lake

To Continue Drainage
H. H..

That Governor Broward will
make the continuing of the work
of draining the Everglades
obligatory upon the state so that
the work cannot be stopped by a
future Board Of Trustees OF the
Internal Improvement Fund now
seems very probable, says a
Tallahassee Dispatch. 1t is be-
lieved that before his term Of Office
expires he will endeavor to lift the
drainage work completely out Of
the reach of politics and place it
where the state must continue,
regardless Of who is the power.
He stated immediately after his
defeat for the senatorship that he
had much work of great Importance
to the state to do in the time inter-
vening between then and the
expiration of his term OF office.
As he has devoted his greatest
energies to the fight for the drain
age of the Everglades, it is be-
lieved by many that he had the
of the work compulsory |
upon the state in his mind at the
time.
One of the last things the
governor did before leaving for
Denver this week was to have a
conference with the representative
If dredge building concern Of
Ohio, said to be the biggest in the
world, who submitted. at the
governors request, specifications

he part of the governor so soon
Ifter his defeat for the senate
makes it appear that he has no idea
# giving up the drainage of the
glades.
In fact, it is said to be his pur-
lose to make some arrangement to
insure the continuation Of the
rainage after he has quilted the
flee.
In other words, it is his desire
nd will be his purpose to place
he great undertaking out Of ]
,olitics, and this might be done by !
making a contract with some firm
+ individual to drain and binding

ract. "a
