Is waking up now, all right, and is
telling the wide world all about it.
The map makers had better get busy
when the live, progressive and enter
prising people of Florida want to form
ten new counties as a single stunt.
When one stops to think about it,
the progress of Florida during the
past decade has been little short of
marvellous. New towns have grown
up where Erimeyal forests stood.
Small towns have grown into cities,
cut over pine lands have been trans
formed into well cultivated fields and
where was cnce desert waste places,
tropic gardens now bloom like the
roses of Sharon. Oh, it's wonderful
country, no mistake about that.

IDA has been doing unprecedented
things all along the line. Nowhere
else has science conquered the sea to
such an extent as to build miles or
railroad through the ocean waves.

Florida soil than anywhere else IN the

have abolished winter and where gem
tie spring and Indian summer sit in
each others laps continually.

rnents at one time, but anyhow Flor
Ida is a land of surprises, pleasant,
gladstone surprises.
Think of it. Sober boards of trade,
composed of conservative business
men and conservative newspapers con-
Quoted by sane. responsible editors
have actually and seriously proposed
to bond the state for the enormous
and stupendous sum of $50,000,000 to
aui1d good roads in the state. OF
course no such bond issue will be
made at the present, but the very fact
that 1t was seriously entertained GER
tainly is helping to put Florida on
the map. This has in itself created a
e eat deal Of comment IL roughout the
country and most of that comment
was very favorable. People away
from home say that it means Florida
is beginning to- accustom herself to
big things and will be getting ready
to take advantage of the trade, the
commerce and the immigration the
new Panama canal will surely help to
bring.
And in the meantime let the map
rgaking fellow keep a sharp lookout.
for almost any hour he will be called

new town over there and a bunch of

INDICATES FLORIDA
DEVELOPMENT

Something In the way of county
building is being attempted in Florida
that 10 unprecedented in the entire
history of the growth and develop
Tnent OF the United States. 1t is this:
That now in quiet times, with no spe-
cal boom at hand, with no special end
IN view dependent on any certain
event. efforts will be made during the
present session of the legislature TO
create as many as eight new counties
some say an attempt will be made.
TO form ten. This is not intended as
an argument for the formation of
these new counties. although 1t is sur
missed that all or these propositions
have merit, else the attempt would
not be made. 1t simply goes to show
the wonderful strides Florida is MAX
ing. 1t demonstrates to the world and
no less to Florida herself than 10 out.
s.ders, the great growth the state is
making. It shows that Florida be-
lieves in herself that she has con-
dt1ered herself and having conquered
herself has won the hardest part OF
the battle and that her victory over
he rest of the country should be and
viii be easy.
In the formation Of the new and
large western states. the creation of
new counties ont Of parts Of old ones
were common occurrences. They took
place every time the legislature met,
but there is no case on record where
these counties leaped into being in
Hooks OF ten.
Virginia, the oldest state IN the
Union. was originally laid out into
eight counties and ii required 300
years to bring that eight up to an
even loo, which Is the present num-
Der.
Texas was admitted to the Union
Teady-made. It was synat might be
termed q hand me- down state and it
adlready had some $40 counties at the
time. True some of these had no in
habitants and many were morgan
lied but they were counties all the
same. The great Lone Star state stil1
continues 20 create new counties but
Adhey come In by ones and twos and
rsever by such landslides as in blocks
OF ten.
Florida is the only state in the
Union to adopt the decimal system in
county construction.
Florida 10 larger in area than any
state cast of the Mississippi river
save one and it has fewer counties
than any OF the states except two or
three of the microscopica1 common
weaIths like Delaware and Rhode
Island. And now that the people are
waking up and endeavoring to divide
