THE WEST COAST ROAD.

The Tallahassee True Democrat wants
a West Coast Railroad built similar to
the one on the East coast, and asks
whether Mr. Flagler might not be per-
susded to extend his road from Jack
sonville to Tallahassee and then to
Tampa. But, why to Tampa only?
Would it not benefit thousands living
southeast Of Tampa, if the road was
extended to Fort Meade and east across
the Kissimmee river to Fort Passenger,
and connect with the East Coast Road
at Jupiter? This would afford an OPP
portunity for all the growers along the
route to place their fruit and produce
upon the western market, which under
present conditions they canLot reach. 49,
Fort Meade Observer.
This is just exactly what The True
Democrat intended to urge. if it did not
do so.
A road taking in all the towns on the
west coast, to Tampa and thence
through the great vegetable and fruit
region, connecting at Tallahassee with
some great western system, could not
fail to prove a profitable enterprise.
Florida fruit and vegetables are very
frequently contested in the eastern
markets to the great damage Of these
industries. If there was more direct
communication with the almost illimi-
table west, with It's thousands Of fruit
and produce consuming centers, the de-
mand for such products from this State
would be more than quadrupled within
ten years.

CAnPHOR AND TARIFF.

The True Democrat has several times
referred to the possibility Of the cam
phor industry in Florida, and particu-
larly in this section Of the State where
such fine specimens of the tree are
grown.
The Tampa Times is of the opinion
that the industry would need govern
ment protection before it could stand
alone. It says:
Speaking of camphOr, it has already
found its way into the discussion of the
tariff. Shall IL be retained on the free
list, when little judieious encourage
ment might develop the industry? Go
TO- Camphor - IN the clutches of a
trust that has raised the price to a fig
ure where the most brazen apostle of
protection could not raise it a cent by
the imposition Of the highest duty he
could think Of. Il is used in certain
phases Of powder making, and che trust
that raised the price of camphOr was
grievOusly complained Of by the trust
thabnakes powder. But the point next to
be considered is whether the camphor
tree so successfully grown in Florida
will yield the camphOr Of commerce.
The Times has issued an invitation to
the Department of Agriculture to test
the matter and let the public know the
result. If it can be done we will trust
to the horde of American promoters and
solicitors to put the industry on its feet
in record time. The whole Of Florida
can be converted into camphor tree
grove in few years, and it would be if
there should prove to be money in it.
Let us have a response from Washing
Ton"

CHURCH ADVERTISING.

Newspaper advertising pays in relig-
ion, as in the business world, according
to the following dispatch which was re-
Gently sent out from Barre, Vermont:
docs advertising pay? Well, / should
say it does, particularly in religion, "
says Rev. Francis A. Poole, pastor of
the First Congregational church. When
Mr.. Poole took charge of the church
three years ago it was a moribund or
ganization. Mr.. Poole started with ad-
vertisements in the Sunday morning
paper-big ones, page when he had
the money, and three and four columns
at other times. He told the people what
was going on the church, what the SER
mon would be about and who would be
there. "As a result" says Mr. Poole,
the congregation has quadrupled in
three years and at a meeting of the
trustees we decided to enlarge the
church building to twice It's present
size"

i
The Quincy Times claims that GadS
den county is large enough to contain
$4,000 more families. Ditto over IL
Leon. And we not only have the room
but the richest kind Of soil on which
they can earn a subsistence. -Tallahas'
see True Democrat.
Bradford county also has ample room
FOR thousands Of new settlers, but the
bringing of them here will be slow
process If we take no measures to let
people know Of our advantages and re-
surces. It will take a little money 70
have an exhibit Of the eounty's products
at the fairs and to advertise in other
ways, but every time a man is induced
10 locate here and transform tract Of
wild land into a productive farm we
have added so much TO our county's
wealth and increased the value Of our
personal holdings II takes density of
population to increase real estate val.
ues, to build mp a large volume of bust
ness and to make possible such public
improvements as good roads and high
class school facilities, 1t necessarily
follows then that our efforts to secure
new settlers should never be relaxed
until the last acre of waste land is re-
deemed from the forest and made into
a home. - Starke Telegraph.
The lands of Leon county could easily
support twenty times its present pOpu-
lation without crowding. Instead of
there being several hundred poorly
titled plantations there should be many
thousand farms of from ten to twenty
acres each. The lands of northern
Florida respond readily to cultivation |
and fertilization, and there is not a finer
climate to be found. 1t should oe the
effort of every citizen to bring some
other good family into our midst.

HOW TO SUCCEED.

There was a fellow in our town,
And he was far from wise;
He tried to run a store one time
And didn't advertise.
No profits came his way at all,
His store soon failed instead,
Then he went out and blamed the town;
He said that it was dead
A morals here for those who think:
It's this: Invest in printers ink.

LARGE NTRsERT COMPANY
Comes 20 Tallahassee to Get the Stock
for Growth Of lis Trees.

A True Democrat reportersaw at the
SeabOard depot, this week, very large
shipment of fig tree cuttings, going
from this city to the extensive nursery
of Grifing Bros. at Macclenny.
When one Of the largest nursery es-
adjustments, not only in Florida but in
the South, is forced to come to this sec
ton for It's stock, the superiority of il
is convincing. There should be several
very Impressive lessons in these ship
ments TO those who are interested in
money-making opportunities.

GRACEFUL ACT OF RECOGNITION.

The suggestion that John G. Collins,
the former editor of The Tallahassee
True Democrat, deserves some appoint
i've Office from the incoming State adj
ministration, has appeared in several Of
the leading Florida papers. Mr.. Collins
conducted that paper with a courage
and vigor during the two campaigns
preceding the primaries, which contrib
uted, in a very large measure, to the
success of the principal Democratic
nominees. He fought hard for the right
and without expectation of reward.
The influence of his ringing editorials,
his Incorporating attacks en- those
who sought to befog the issues or to
maintain false charges was felt through
out the State, encouraging and stimu-
lating the friends Of the candidates he
supported. Now that his health is
broken and he has had to retire from
the journalistic ALPHABETICALLY be-
cause of his strenuous efforts in those
two campaigns-it would be only a
graceful act of recognition TO appoint
him TO some position where he could
maintain himself and his family in com
fort. Mr.. Collins fills in every particu-
lar the description Of the character Of
men he will appoint TO Office, according
to GoYenOr-eIect Gilehrist's declara-
ton. Jacksonville Times Union.
