From all indications the crop OF can.
didates for 1912 will be one Of the big
gest ever known in Florida.
Following a custom established last
year, the officials Of the Fla, East Coast
Railway extension have ordered all the
families Of employees on the extension
10 move away for the next two months.
This is done because the water over
flows the land during hurricane and
in years past many lives have been lost.
The new battleship Florida, which
will be completed next spring. will cost
S1O,0OO,00O. This sum of money would
build 1000 miles of vitrifed brick road
l6 feet wide, with steel bridges over all
rivers and creeks But Uncle Sam
rather prefers palaces on the water for
his pets than benefits for those whofur-
nlsh this money.

noon Tuesday they were coming In
large crowds by boat, rail, auto ard
other conyeyances from all parts OF the
county. From twelve o'clock till night
The streets were crowded with enthusi-
astic good roads advocates who were
anxious to Join hands with the sister
counties on the south who have demon
strated the worth of good roads and ac-
complished wonderful results along that
line.
The road run of the Miami Automo'
bile and Good Roads Association was a
success. although fewer cars than were
expected made the run. Eight cars
from Miami containing about thirty en-
,husiasts from that city completed the
run. and despite the bad roads IN ST.
