The Carnival and the Coun.
ty Fair.

EQltOr rltZS6rdIQ Ent6TpIlSe:-l
see that the editor of the Leader is
still harping on the alleged immo-
rality of the Carnival features con-
nected with our coming County
Fair, all of which features exist
more in his imagination than any
where else.
When he went into the real-estate
business didn't he become more of a
gambler than do those who spend a
few nickles and dimes at theCarnival
booths, where, if they didn't make
a hit, they receive full value for
the money in the amusement it al
fords them?& Yet for such imagi-
merry evils he refused the Fair Assc-
citation the occupancy of the lots
controlled by him for Fair purposes!
He evidently works for and takes
PRIDE in it's FAILURE if he can ac-
complish it.
How fair ne is in his attitude to-
wards the officers of the County
Fair may be seen from his open
ing paragraph On this subject
in his issue of the 5th., in which
he makes use of several typographi-
cal errors which appeared in Presl-
dent Martins answer to him, to
claim that his readers may plainly
see the chaotic state of his mind IN
relation to the carnival proposition.
Ha! ha! ha! If that were any criterion
of chaotic state of mind
then every editorial, communication
or advertisement which ever ap-
peared in his little paper around
the alley" gives superintendent evil
dence of similar states of minds OF
every one employed on said little
paper" himself included, of course.
He prates about the old intoler-
ance and prejudice of the Failure
which have made impossible a prac-
teal solution of the Fair PROPOSE
ton" which not only exhibits agreat
chaotic state of his mind since no
one can see any sense in that state
ment, but also shows how desperate
ly he tries to shift his own intoler-
ance and prejudice onto somebody
elses shoulders.
Another chaotic state of his mind
is exhibited in the words: AS we
plainly demonstrated the entire alb
sence of a chance for spoils-it did
not meet the approval Of the Spells
man-there was nothing in it for
him-no glory, no pay and no busi-
ness" That's as clear as mud, but
the chaotic part comes in where
he hassdemonstrated the entire alb
sence,of a CHANCE FOR SPOlLS"
in the Fair proposition, yet sees in
these Chances" the greatest and
only objection to the Carnival fea-
tures.~m -. Reconcile these incongrui-
ties who can. | give up.
He says that he is convinced
that our friend Mr.. Martin, doesn't
know what he is talking about" |
wonder if this can't be more truth
fully said of the above passages in
his own effusions. and of many other
similar ones. u If he knew what he
was talking about, he has a mighty
queer way of expressing his ideas
to his our satisfaction perhaps, but
| pity those who try to interpret
them.

ANGLES GOOD
ROADBONDB|LL
Would Place State Roads in Every
County in Florida
WILL COST $1O,OOO,OOO
Proposes to Raise Money by Bond Issue
and Build Road With Convict Labor
Two Mills viii be Sufficient

Representative Angle, of Polk county,
has introduced bill bonding the State
in the sum $40, 600, 900 for a system of
State highways that will traverse thir-
ty-two counties, while lateral roads
will lead from the main lines, into all
other counties.
According to Mr.. Angles plan, The
routes of the highways would be as
follows.
Beginning at the Alabama line and
running to Pensacola and from thence
to Jacksonville.
Jacksonville down the East Coast to
Miami.
Branch from Daytona through the
southern section of the State to Kis-
simmee, Barlow, Fort Myers, Arcadia
and other points.
Branch from Barlow to Tampa,
through Lakeland, Plant City and other
points. r.t,..
Branch from Plant City through
Ocala, Gainesville and other points back
TO Jacksonville.
These lines would cut through thirty
two counties and laterals could reach
I'll other counties, except Monroe,
which is inaccessible except by water.
Bonding for ten Millions said Mr..
Angle, "wOuld require two-mll tax
for sinking fund. My idea would be
TO invest this sinking fund in State,
county or municipal or other bonds,
which would offset interest on the
bonds. On first thought the average
man will think bonding for such a sum
would place heavy burden on all tax
payers, which is not the case, especial a..
ly when benefits to be derived would
increase the value of the city and rural
property to big degree. The average
Florida farmer pays taxes on about
1000. Therefore, the average farmer
would be taxed only two dollars an
nually for the sinking fund. Those
Who pay heavier taxes would have no
complaint, for benefits would be great. y
Mr.. Angle, in order to build roads
.hea by, would work the State cOnvicts
On the roads. "My idea is that the
.onvicts should be used on road work
exclusively" said the Polk county
nan. "a portion of the convicts should

While others worked on the roads. In
this way vitrified brick could be manu-.

State Chemist, informs me that clay in
certain Florida counties is just as good
for making vitritied brick as that. found
in Georgia. By manufacturing our own
brick, | believe we could build brick
roads for $1,000 mile. We have
worked convicts on the roads OF Polk
county with great success, In fact
we get as much as we get from day la
borers for three dollars"
Road building work, in Mr.. Angles
opinion, should be conducted under the
supervision of a State highway com,
mission, with a thorough engineer and
road builder acting as State engineer.
The PLAN he said. "has been opelr-
ated wits great success in New York,
Indiana, Ohio and elsewhere, and there
is no reason why Florida should not DO
likewise.

their advertising is correct, that the
Board should allow the insertion in such
ADVERT ing the statement that the Fort
Pierce Board of Trade approved of theil
proposition and statements therein APP
pearing. Probably a dozen members Of
the board spoke on the subject.
j. E. Andrews, speaking as stock,
holder in the East Coast Realty Com.
pany, stated that the subject had not
been brought to the attention Of his
company, but that he was sure they
would welcome such an investigation by
the Board of Trade, and that their APP
proval would be of inestimable benefit
to the company; that it would give adj
dtional stability to their land proposit-
ion and their advertising and would
greatly assist the company in selling.
Up to this time the question had been
discussed informally, without motion
or resolution before the Board, where
upon A. K. Wilson proposed the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That the Florida East
Coast Realty Company, and other land
companies doing business in this coun-
ty. be invited to submit all of their adj
vertising, wherever appearing, to the
Fort Pierce Board of Trade for its in
spection and approval, and that such
approval be authorized to be inserted
in all such advertising where found
worthy, and that the President is here
by authorized to appoint committee
to make such Investigations and to use
the approval of the Board of Trade.
A motion by Judge Andrews that the
foregoing resolution be referred to a
committee to be appointed by the presi-
dent, with instructions to make a re-
port at a future meeting, was carried.
Judge Andrews moved that an enter
tainment committee be appointed to en-
terrain visitors and prospective invest
ors, at the expense of the Board. This
was also referred to the committee
provided for in the above paragraph.
j. X. Williams was appointed COM
mittee to interview Mr.. Logan, of the
National Highway Commission, in an
endeavOr to get the commission to make
a trip down the East Coast.

Nearly an hour was taken up IN the
discussion of the subject OF the Board
of Trade exercising some supervision
over the advertising being done by LAID

The CfCELIAN CLUB
TO PRESENT CANTATA

An event of unusual interest to ali
music lovers, will be the presentation OF
a cantata, 1.-The Healing of Naaman, "
given by the Cecilan Choral Club, on
Tuesday evening, May End.
They have been working upon this
for some time, and are preparing to
give it in costumes fitting to the parts
and the times.
The solo parts are taken by Mrs. D.
7. McCarty, Mrs. Scott and Mrs. Nc
Combs, Rolf Gunst and Rev. Harry
McCombs. Mrs. Horton accompanlst.
A chorus of twenty-five voices sup
ports the soloists, and includes male
quartet.
Especial interest attaches to the fact
that this is probably the last chance
we shall have to hear Rolf Gunst sing.
fIe leaves the day following for New
York City. He sings the part OF Naa-
man.
Mrs. Scott, who has not been heard
here before in solo work, has voice OF
fine quality. She takes the part OF
Naaman's wife. -,
MIS-. McCarty fills the part OF the
Queen with her characteristic grace;
Mr.. McCombs as Iran the priest, and
Mrs. McCombs as the captive Hebrew
maid complete the caste. 49,
