No Southern public man during
the same length of service has
brought himself into more honorable
and useful prominence than Senator
Duncan U. Fletcher of this State. He
carries the weight and influence Of
Q genuine statesman In Washington,
wise in counsel, strong in debate, and
ne has personality to give added
emphasis to his public service. He
is far beyond the calibre of the mere
successful politician and he has CIV
en- distinguished service outside his
purely senatorial duties to the cause
of Southern advancement in some
very important directions. We note
with much pleasure that he has just
been reelected as president of the
Southern Commercial Congress, that
big, virile organization before which
President Wilson spoke the other day
In Mobile and which is permanent
and growing factor In the material
uplift of the South. Some men
shrivel In great places. some are
hopelessly commonplace. but some
steadily grow with increasing serv-
ice, until they become public servants
Of the first class. Among the latter

ENDORSES Mr.. PILLANS
CANDIDACY FOR COUNCILMAN

Editor Telegram: Please allow me

can say that he has made a most
excellent official. During the year
1912 when he was chairman OF the
cemetery committee he purchased a
piece of ground which is now used as
the new cemetery, and all citizens
realize that he was the means of Sc
curing for the public much-needeh
tract that was purchased at a bar
gain, and has made most suitable
place for the dead. Not only as an
active member of the above commit
tee, but during this year 1913 as
chairman of the light and water COM
mittee he has more than made good.
He is most conservative business
man, and is so we'll acquainted with
the work of the light and water plant
that it is with no difficulty that he
directs this important department in
a way that the plant has become one
of the greatest assets that Lakeland
has today His careful and consid-
crate manner In which he exercises
his power is well worthy of praise
from the public. The people of this
ward could not possibly find bet
ter man to represent them. VOTER

FLORIDA COMPANY
ORGANIZED TO DRILL FOR OIL

1t has long been surmised that
there is oil in Florida, and several
people have siven it as a matter not
of surmise but of fact, that it is here,
but until now the proposition has not
been backed by people determined to
prove it.
For the past several months Mr..
F. G. Popeney, formerly of Titusville,

who has devoted his whole life to
the oil business. drilling wells In
Pennsylvania. Ohio, West Virginia,
Oklahoma and, Colorado, has been
looking the. field over and sifting the
data and evidences offered. From the
most reliable information at hand he
is convinced there is oil In this sec.

called Mr.. w. H. Anderson, also
from the Pennsylvania oil fields, and
a life long oil man, who after making
three separate trips to this section,
now confirms Mr.. Popeney's opinion.

What my friends tell me" has
lulled many candidate into false
sense of security with the result that
when the votes were counted he was
moved to conclude either that his
friends had mighty poor Judgment or
were the most cheerful liars on earth.
An excellent way for candidate for
office to bump into big disappoint-
ment is to rely too much on what
my friends tell me-" And they are
already telling it in Florida, we no.
tice, although they probably know
no more about it than anybody else.
The truth is that the people Of Flor

aspirations of candidates. and it's a
heart-breaking, uphill job to pump
any enthusiasm into them on the sub
ject. And it is the same all over
the country. Too many elections,
the hard grind Of complex modern

The suggestion is made by a cor
respondent of the Orlando Reporter
Star that candidates for mayor in
that city would do graceful and
patriotic thing by agreeing to do
mate the salary Of the Office, if elect
ed, to tho city treasury. We shouldn't
feel called OH to do SO under such
circumstances, for the laborer is
worthy of his hire and steady run
of gratuitous service gets fiat and
tasteless in the course of time and Is
very likely to diminish in both en-
thusiasm and value. We knew the
mayor of a little town out in Texas
some years ago who got his name IN
the papers all over the country by
magnanimously contributing his en-
tire salary to the city treasury, but
his newspaper fame didn't arrive un'
til 1t was announced later on that
his salary was one dollar per annum.
