Poor Mans Paradise.

FOOE wan FSFduiSS,
THE movement toward Florida is
becoming more and more pronounced
as the Northern and Western home
seeker becomes acquainted with &C
tual conditions in this state. No eff
forts are being spared by the railroads
and other large interests to properly
advertise this marvellous section. Mil
lions are being spent in this educa-
tional work and the result is appar-
ent in the thousands upon thousands
of inquiries being received by>S the
different commercial associations OF
the cities of the state"
The above is taken from an article
that recently appeared in the New
York Tribune and was reproduced in
The Florida Review for November 1t
is a splendid tribute to the work that
is being done in making known to
the world at large the advantages OF
Florida, and every word of it is alb
solutely true. The article concludes
with the following summary of condi-
lions and the results that they will
lead to:

will answer to the title of the Poor
mans paradise. Nothing can stop
the tremendous tide Of wage earners
farmers who have failed of success
in other and less productive sections
and homeseekers looking for n
place where they can live in comfort
and realize living from their land
from Florida.
Florida offers more inducements to
these classes than any other one spot
on earth and while it has taken a
long time for Florida to come into
her own, the next year or two will
witness the enchanted land taking
her rightful positions among the ag-
ricultural states of the union
Then is it any wonder that land
values are constantly increasing in
Florida? That is why the advice is
so often given in these columns to
take advantage of the present real
estate investment opportunities and
place your savings in Florida real
estate.

EAST LAKE CAR SERVICE

Commencing on Saturday, December 24, the schedule on the East Lake line will be changed back to the old one in use before the line was separ- ated at 1st avenue and 64th street.
 In, the inauguration of the present schedule at an in- creased cost of 5000 per month in the operation of this line, we believed that the ser vice would be materially i'm proved and that it would be welcomed by our patrons, but on account of the serious de- lays to cars at the railroad crossings in the Sloss furnace district (which delays have been charged against this schedule) we have decided to put back into effect on Decem- Der 24 the old schedule until such time as the viaduct over these tracks is completed, which now seems to be assured.

Walter Shafer, who was the statistician fight against the prohibition amendment to the constitution, which was defeaed sin November, 1909, is in Birmingham
 again after having spent. several days in Montgomery.
 q T have watched the situation very sciosely," stated he yesterday, "and feel ssure that J. Lee Long will defeat Judge <<J. C. Almon in the race for speaker of {the house. MT. Long has enough pledges tto elect him on the first ballot. His num- $ Der Is 63; 51 votes are necessary for an election.
 ] T believe the statement of Judge AL mons friends to the effect that he will } twin are made for the purpose of uphol- stering the weak-kneed. However, Judge Almon is making a spirited fight and there may occur slip which will muddy sthe water. I have noted that Alex Pitts
 of Dallas states that he has 3s votes him. , self. 1n case no election occurs on the
 first ballot the votes of Mir. Pitts may decide the issue. However, I feel confi-
 dent of MT. Long's election"
 Gardner Greene. a member of the state
 executive committee, who was in Bir-
 mingham yesterday, also expressed confi-
 dence that MT. Long will be elected. MT.
 Greene believed that but one ballot will
 be necessary.
 The election of Hugh Morrow as pres- 'ident of the senate is a general prediction
 of the present time. Students of politics have figured that on the first ballot MT.
 Morrow will receive about IS votes, and
 that on succeeding ballots he wA receive
 practically all the strength of W. c. sherrod and Watt Brown. Tom Sidney Fraser of Union Springs, however, has
 not yielded the fight by any means.
