Build Your Own Roads.

The PUNTA GoRDA HERALD is
much worried over the cost Of
putting the convicts on the roads.
OF course it will cost something to
feed and care for them, but did
that erudite editor ever hear of q
plan to build good roads without
cost9 Is there anything worse
needed in Florida than good roadsG
--DeFuniak Breeze.
Now, there you are! What you
good roads howlers want is for
the State to support the convicts
while they are building good
roads for You. Get up your
great graft scheme for building a
State system of good roads, and
only one.ffth of the people will be
benefited, while all will be taxed,
whether the roads are made by the
convicts or by free contract labor.
Why don't you and all the rest
of the good roads howlers do as
the people of DeSoto, Dade, Or
ange, Lake aud other progressive
counties are doing-build your
own roads and quit seeking to tax
yonr neighbors for your benefitS
The counties named are not
tagging behind with folded hands
and waiting and longing and
bowling for State aid to build
good roads, but are going ahead
and building at their own expense
miles and miles Of good roads, and
they have been doing this for
years past. If the rest OF the
counties would follow their exam
pie, we would pretty soon rave
all over the State a network OF
good roads that would benefit ey-
cry hamlet, village, town and city
in Florida, and that, too, without
having to pay fat salaries to a lot
of lazy grafters as superlntend-
ents and bosses of construction
under a system of State construc-
ton.
The people of the State are now
taxed to death, and yet the State
treasury faces a deficit, Never
theless, a few thoughtless editors
continue to cry out in behalf of
1900 hellions, thieves and muir
derers, for an additional burden of
100000 q year on the pretext
that we are going to the devil for
the want of good roads

A lot Of Florida people have a
commendable "fad' Of gathering
up and placing on their book
shelves all meritorious literary
productions by home authors, of
whom we have a respectable num-
Der. Amongst the latest achieve
ments in the book line by home
talent is a unique and highly en-
tertalning story byS. A. Fackler,
u newspaper man who is known
all over the State and whose fame
penetrates various parts Of Geor-
gia and Alabama.
He has written uphis journalistic
experiences from boyhood to the
present time, emitting the story
"The Ups and Downs of q Coun-
Try Editor" making book of
lO5 pages, all of which contain
mighty" interesting reading.
Unique and appropriate illustra-
tons adorn the volume.
The authors style is original
and recklesS,a fact that adds much
to the interest Of the story. His
book cannot be properly reviewed
within the limits Of this paper, but,
suffice it to say, no Florida libra
ry or newspaper sanctum is com
plete, unless supplied with a copy
Of Fackler's contribution to the
literature Of the State. To get a

Patriotic Democrats of Punta
Gorda, as we'll as of every other
place in Florida, ought to contrib
ute something to the national
campaign fund. Those who can
not afford to give $500 or $1,000,
can give at least S1.00 and they
should do it now. Hand the mon
ey to Cashier Williams of the bank
and he will send it to Hon. G.
Fred Thompson, Tampa, treasurer
of the state financial committee.
Aspirants for the local postmaster
ship and the collectorship OF
Tampa, as well as for other
positions under President Bryan,
should be prompt to respond.
The national committee needs
the money.

Gainesville Sun:--Florida's next
Governor, General Albert w.
Gilchrist, is the same affable, plain
citizen he was before the primary.
Success has not turned his head, y
or caused him to turn the cold
shoulder to old-time friends who
perchance did not support his
candidacy, In lieu thereof he ex-
tends the "glad hand to every

do we'll to follow.

Editor Jordan, Of the PUNTA
GoRDA HERALD, is so bitter
against aay reform II the convict
system of Florida and makes such
a howl whenever poor devil is
pardoned that we have almost con-
cluded that he would rather see
nine innocent men punished than
one guilty one escape. Wauchula
Advocate,
Brother Goolsby errs. Jordan
is not opposed to ''any reform in
the convict system" He merely
contends that the taxpayers are
now so oyerburdened that they
cannot bear an additional tax for
the care and maintenance of the
convicis under any other system
than the present one. II the con-
trary can be shown--if IL can be
proved that the tax rate would
not be increased by aboishing the
lease system, he will yield the
argument. Nor Is Jordan the
cruel fellow that Goolsby insinu-
ates that he is, though he differs
from the editorial friends of
the convicts in that he sympa-
thizes more with Widow Bowman
than with Murderer Cooper, who
made her a widow.

The ideas of those good people
who are continually clamoring for
immigration as a panacea for
many of our political ills, If car
ried to their ultimate and extreme
conclusion, may find 'horrible
example" in the case of the city
of New York. There, the immi-
grafton proposition has been fully
worked out with the result not
only of overcrowding the city,
but of piling up of an unpayable
debt of millions of dollars and
burdening the people with such
high rents and tax rates that tits q
wonder that any but millionaires
can afford to live in that prodi-
gious metropolis. The rule seems
to be: the more people, the more
wants; increased population means
increased taxos, higher cost of
living, and sin and deviltry to en-
able many to live. Give us the
woods and the mountains, the
painless wilderness and the track
less seal

Certainly. The girls marry at
the age of l6 or II; and however
much they may admire Gen. Gill
christ, they think he is about 50
years of age and, therefore, too
old for them. They rather look

FARMERS UNION DENIES.

Little Rock. October, 10. - Even though the officials of the Farmers Union insist that the depredations which occur daily, and which are attributed to night riders, are the acts of boys and people who have a spite to vent, they grow in volume and more serious in nature. The officials of the union said it was spite which caused a wagon load of cotton to be taken from a farmer and burned in Greene county, but as yet they have given no explanation of the burning of the gin belonging to Tom Brown, a small planter, which has just been reported from Woodson, in Saline county. It has been sug- gested that a convention be called at once of all sheriffs, constables, county and circuit judges of the state, to be held in Little Rock at once, and spend several days in discussing the proposition and formulnte plans for putting an immediate stop to the posting of notices and prevent the burning of any more gins. Gin owners ere beginning to take the matter in their own hands, and the gins in this county, which have been warned to cease ginning, will keep right on, with armed guards. who are under instructions to shoot. on duty every night. Few peoyle in the state believe there is any concerted effert anywhere to stop the ginning or the sale of cotton through the night rider plan, and the guarding of gins, with determined men as guards, is expected to put a sudden stop to the posting of notices. after one or two of the marauders are shct and seriously wounded. It is probable that the Pulaski coun- ty grand jury, which is now in session, will make an effort to get at the bottom of the notices which have been posted in this county.
