Tampa Will Build
Railroads TO Water Front.

Tampa is evidently experiencing the
same trouble with the railroads at that
place that Pensacola has experienced
with the L. & N. and Tampa now pro-
poses to build railroads of her own to
the waterfront Just as Pensacola lin
tends to build a belt line road to con-
meet with the railroads and wharves in
the city.
A Tampa dispatch says that the peo-
pie are aroused to the necessity for
Immediately providing more dock room
for Tampa and the board of port COM
missioners has made it known that the
board stands willing to the best of it's
ability to encourage the, property own
ers along the Ybor estuary territory to
develop their water front.
The board has expressed the idea
board stands willing to the best of its
them adequate streets as well as rail-
roads to reach their docks and as the
board has considerable amount of
money at its disposal the first Of the
property owners to get in line with the
boards plan, OF development will re-
ceive valuable assistance.
The refusal OF the Sestboard Air Line,
recently. to dock the steamship Will
helmina, because the owner OF the
cargo wanted to use his own stevedore,
has had a great deal to do with this.
as this vessel proceeded to Port Tampa
to unload. The development OF the
lumber interests recently has also
brought about situation where docks
are an immediate necessity to take
care OF lumber shipments.
Tampa viii have from three to four
miles of additional dock front when
the estuary is developed, and the board
of port commissioners will use every
effort to have the work done. The
city itself owns 1.4oo feet of water
front and plans will be laid to place
this in disable shape at once.
The opening OF the canal is going to
bring tremendous amount Of business
to every gulf port that is able to ham

enterprising newspaper, which has in
view the issuing of a large special edi-

that We give his reply in full as taken
from The Journal Of Sunday. Mr..
Mayes pertinently recalls the fact
which seems to have escaped most of
us. that 1T will be nearly three years
before the primaries to nominate a
candidate for governor. This being
true, it seems hardly less than absurd
that the matter should be persistently,
earnestly and deliberately discussed as
though the selection Of sucn a candi-
date was an issue right up to the peo
pie of Florida to be determined and
we didn't have any time to spare in
doing so. Mr.. Mayes's letter will
strengthen the general opinions that
he is excellent timber for governor,

subject in view of the three years

this governorship business is not such
an honor. Mayes knows perfectly well
that if he became a candidate for gov
ernor after all the other candidates
should also come out these same edi-
tors would be found lining up accord
ing to all the considerations that
usually control such matters. This
boosting of editors for high Office by
other editors-between campaigns-is
a Florida habit; we know of none such
anywhere else; and as said, we would
be inclined to consider 1t very poor
taste If everybody did not know it was
a joke One of the chief boosters for
Mayes, for instance, belongs to the old
order of things democratic, while
Mayes is progressive democrat Of the

older exchange habit OF boosting Edi-

was an editor who became
candidate for high Office, and whether
you prefer him or somebody else. no
one can honestly deny that Claude is
a hard worker for the good Of Florida.
He is also a progressive democrat like
Mayes-and yet when he ran the state
press generally did not treat him or
his candidacy with decent courtesy.
But he was elected just the same.

The List VIII Swell

The List viii Swell
Since he came to Tampa to preside
over the annual convention of the
Florida Press Association, Editor
Frank Mayes, of The Pensacola Jour
raj. has been the recipient of innum-
cradle illusions in the state press to
his fitness for the office of governor
of Florida Nearly every paper which
has mentioned the matter has declared
it's support for him in the event he
should decide to become candidate.
Mr. Mayes, with his usual modesty,
has contented himself with reprinting
in his paper these highly compliment
tary references, without giving a per-
sonal expression in regard to the sug-
gestions they have embodied. Mr..
Mayes has now broken his silence on
the subject and in an admirable state
friendly attitude of his brother editors
but declines to declare himself an
aspirant for the office so far in adj
va nee of the campaign. Mr.. Mayes's
statement is just what might have
been expected of him-appreciative
dignifed. frank. So, there is nothing
to do but wait for later developments.
Only a dozen or so have been men
toned thus far and the list will swell
ing time arrives. Meantime, the great
majority of the press and great many
of the people think they have already
found the right man in Frank Mayes.-

Mr.. GUDGER ON
THE POSTOFF|CE
SITUATION

Hendersonville people will be inter-
ested to learn that Congressman J. M.
Gudger is urging the treasury depart
ment to advertise for bids for the erec-
ton of the proposed postoffice build
ing to be erected in this ,citya on the
corner of Fourth avenue and Church
street, as early as possible.
AS partial result of these efforts, -
Mr.. Gudger informs the Democrat, "I
have received advices from the depart
ment that the building is to be an up
to-date one in every particular; that
the working drawings are being taken
upon approved sketches, and the esti-
mate for materials is now being con-
sidered."
With reference to the modern char
acter of the building in which Mr..
Gudger is greatly interested, he says:
''The facing of the exterior walls
from grade to about one foot above the
first floor level will be limestone or
sandstone; above this point will be
red brick with limestone or sandstone
trim. The lobby will have marble
and terrazzo floor, marble wainscot
and hardwood trim. The remainder
of the building will be fireproof con-
struction throughout"
Although Mr.. Gudger is urging the
earliest possible action in this matter
it is highly probable that the new
building will not be completed before
he experiences the pleasure, or dis
pleasure as the case may be, of re-
commencing the appointment of one
OF the several applicants for the posi-
ton of postmaster at the expiration of
the commission of Postmaster Brown
low Jackson, which expires about one
year hence.
A number of democratic applicants
are pressing their claims to the Office
and are exerting themselves nightly
for the sweet morse1 of pie 81, 400 an
nuaIly There is plenty OF time for
developments and each of the many
being made by the office
seekers is watched with untiring in
terest.
