The Whole South
Is Growing.

Perhaps no part OF the civilized
world is growing SO rapidly in mate
rial development as what is known as
the Cotton South; that is, the South
Atlantic and Gulf states. The figures
showing this growth are almost be-
yond comprehension.
The South has been SO busy in max
Ing money and expanding that 1t can
scarcely stop to take an inventory.
Within the past twelve years. all over
this region. the values have doubled
and in some cases more than that in
agricultural and commercial resources.
That was really more progress than
was made in the entire forty years
from 1860 to 1900.
The South is full of new energy and
new life. The eyes of the entire world
are watching her and every day brings
new people to find homes and new
money to be invested.
Nowhere in the South is this devel-
opment and increase in wealth and
population more marked than in Flor
ida. And yet this new era is just be-
ginning. 1t is safe to say and easy
to predict that the next decade will see
more pronounced improvements in
florida than were brought about dur
ing the past twenty years.
The completion and operation of the
Panama canal viii no doubt prove to
be a powerful stimulant and will give
a great impetus to the development.
not only of Florida, but the entire
South.
Florida is being more sanely and
widely advertised now than was the
custom formerly and the good results
of this will soon become apparent.
More winter visitors came to the state
last season than usually come. These
will go home with more to tell than
formerly and that means more home
seekers are coming to the land Of
flowers, the sunshine and the sea.
The whole South is growing, Florida
Is growing and the end is nowhere in
sight.

drugs down the throats of suffering

All these worthless have a perfect
right to their opinion. The sick. the

volume entitled. "The Civil War
and Reconstruction in agida," by
William Watson Davis assistant
professor of American in the
University of Kansas. 4 Florida
born boy and nephew of p. X. Yonge
OF Pensacola.
The work appears. from a hurried
glance over it, to contain a great deal
of very interesting and very valuable
information. The author devotes five
chapters to the history Of Florida pre-
ceding the Civil war and seven chap
tiers to F1orida's part In the war IT.
self. The period of reconstruction and
OF the negro rule which was a part of
it are fully covered and some of the
historical incidents related are of a
highly dramatic character.
The work contains 76s pages and it
undoubtedly required vast amount of
labor and a great deal of time to COM
pile the facts and assemble them in
the logical and attractive order in
which they are presented. Pensacola
is frequently mentioned and the names
of many well-knowE present day as
well as deceased F9oridians appear in
the book. Longmans, Green & Co,
of New York, are the publishers.

contain a joker that will put the Chris
tian Scientists out of commission en-
tirely. The bill provides for a state
examining board with four allopaths
while the homeopathic. the osteopaths
and the eclectics have to be content
with one member.
It has only been a decade since the
allopaths and the homeopaths were
ready to fly at each others throats
and very recently am osteopath was
considered to be quite beyond the pale.
Now the lion and the lamb are ready
to lie down together and representa-
tives of the different paths" are will
iEg to serve on the same examining
board, although they will not consult
with each other professionally. Prob
ably in few years the allopaths and
the Christian Scientists will be found
working together in perfect harmony
and will unite in invoking state aid to
keep down some other cult or school
of medicine that is likely to spring up
from time to time, as long as medi-
cine is an experimental instead of an
exact science
In the meantime. 1t looks like the
legislature ought to give all the diff
ferent brands of healers a run for their
money.

Gov. Park TrammeN, Of Florida, has
an original plan of sending a mes

trying to keep his views a secret he
sends a series of short articles to the
newspapers. Thee are printed, and
when the legislature meets they are
put together to form the message. In
this way the people know beforehand
what the governor wants the legis-
lature to do. There is time for thought
and discussion. as there should be. We
know a good many people who lost
