J. w. ABERCROMBIE Who Addressed Convention of Rural Mail Carriers of State Yesterday

.--sssessssssssssssssssssi come s. A. Reynolds of Minter and H. D Russell of Troy responded.
 The chief address of the day, however, was delivered by Dr. J. w. Abercrombie, congressman-elect from the state at large and a candidate for the United States Senate in opposition to Senator J. F. Johnston. pr. Abercrombie led first in prayer and after the other addresses made lengthy speech He told some incidents about his recent visit to the national con- vention in Baltimore and seemed to think that the day of party conventions is passing rapidly. pr. Abererombe spoke of the good roads movement and pointed out some of the duties the government owes the state in maintaining post roads. The speaker engaged the attention of the dele gates for some time.
 Discuss Good Roads
 The afternoon session was featured by a discussion of the good roads movement. J. A. Rountree, secretary of the assoca- ton, made a speech detailing the work that is going on and seemed to be unusual ly optimistic over the outlook for the bet torment of highway conditions.
 The rural carriers are in favor of the plan to have Congress appropriate so state. A bill Is now being arranged which provides that for each mile of road tray eled by rural carriers there shall be so much money appropriated for mainte- nance. That feature was the subject of considerable informal talk yesterday among the individual delegates.
 The government regulations provide that unless a certain standard Is maintained in the upkeep of the roads that rural mai carriers need not travel them. It is en- tirely optional with the service to refuse to go over the roads that are not up tc the standard.
 At the session this morning John J. Ora. ham, postoffice inspector from Chatta- nooga, will deliver an address His theme will be the rural mall service as 1t re- lates to the carriers assembled here.
 The programme for today follows:

A STRONG BOOST
GIVEN FLORIDA
By vice-PreSident Of the East
Coast Railway Company.

The Florida East Coast Railway
Company uses considerable advertising
space in the Manufacturers Record OF
Baltimore. In recent issue of that
publication Vice President J. +. Ingra.
ham uses his space for the following
facts illustrating Florida's remarkable
advanccment:
THE striking illustrations shown on
these pages in the last two issues of
Florida'S remarkable advancement in
population, in farm land values, in the
leading diversified farm crops, in the
capital invested in factories and in the
value OF factory products, all combine TO
emphasize the wonderful agricultural
and industrial activities and possibilities
of the State.
This growth, while showing a great
percentage of increase in the last de.
cadc, has been steadily advancing one;
and when the many large undertakings
that are under way in Florida, such as
the draining of the Everglades, exten-
ton of railroads, etc, are considered,
all of which will open up opportunities
of even wider magnitude, still greater
advance Is conservatively predicted in
Inc next len years.
Railroad building is typical of bust
ness advancement, and what Florida is
doing in this respect is worthy of note.
SIN 1880 Florida had only SIS miles OF
railroad.
Gas late as 1900 il had 2,73S miles.
"At the present time il has nearly
5000 miles of completed road, with
many new lines under construction,
while existing roads are in many direc-
tionS pushing out branch lines.
"Added TO Florida'S railroad mileage,
the State is peculiarly located with rela-
10 wafer transportation.
''It has 200 miles of ocean and gulf
frontagc-morc than any other State in
the Union.
at also has LIS miles of navigablc
waterways within its boundaries.

creaSing number of health and pleasure
