CAMPAIGN TO CLOSE.

DR.. Routh will close the hook-worm
campaign in this county Saturday. He
has been in the county over two
months and during that time he has
treated hundreds of cases of the dis
ease. He examined thousands Of 9TH
ers and found that they were not in
hicted, but enough cases were dis
covered and treated to amply repay
the county and the state for the money
that they expended and DR.. Routh for
his labors while here. But there are
few days left OF the campaign and
these few days should be taken advan-
tage of by the people OF the county.
Parents should take this last oppor-
tuntty Of having their children receive
this free examination and treatment.
DIR. Routh will spend the last day OF
the campaign in the court house, when
he Will be glad to examine everyone
who applies and give free treatment
to those affected. We urge all parents

We heard 1t from several sources
yesterday that The Advertiser was to
appear this morning with a broadside
against the new city council because
on the elections Thursday evening
We do not know how this information
got out or who was the author of IL,
1t is sufficient for us to say that we
did not and do not intend now to dis
cuss the elections. except to advise
the new councilmen to get book OF
parliamentary rules and have 1t adopt
ed to go by in their deliberations. II
might not be out of place also TO sug.
gest that they read the charter and
any other acts under which the city
exists. While the results OF the elec.
tions themselves did not go, in all
cases, according to our liking, still
we had no right to- expect anything
else as our candidate in the mayoralty
race was treated rather roughly ir
the primary election. SO, we have nc
right TO complain. III there are 9th
ers who voted differently and feel thai
the wishes Of the citizens have mo-
been carried out by the new council
they will have to console themselves
IN some other way.

Gov. Bleasc has accepted another
invitation to attend conference OF
governors to be held, this time, at
Colorado Springs. The secretary OF
the conference, in extending the invl-
tatlon, stated that 1t was desired to
make the conference record-break-
ing one. We have serious doubts
whether or not the hopes of the con-
ference secretary will be realized, for,
with the promise shown by our gov
ernor at the last conference still fresh
in our memory, we hardly think that
the record made at that meeting can
be broken. Al least, let us hope not.

l

being that he intends to run against
Congressman Stephen NJ. Sparkman
and wants the support of Scofield's
friends in Citrus county, while Mar
ion, Spencer's home county, has been
transferred to the second district.
The second reason given is that
Spencer did not look with favor upon
the governors bill affecting the con-
vict lease system. That the gov
ernor's bill was defective was shown
by the manner in which it was
slaughtered by amendments in the
Senate and then killed in favor of
better measure, which is now in
force
Spencer was never given full cred
it for his part in the drawing and
passage of this bill, which came from
a joint Senate and House committee,
but the fact is that many of the
most important features of the meas
ure were injected at his suggestion.
| Spencer refused TO discuss his fail
ure to secure the states attorney

FLOYD DISCOVERS A LARGE FAULT
ACCORDING TO THE FRANKLIN COUNTY STATESMAN RE
DIsTRICTING OF THE STATE $ INEFFECTIVE
of Three Districts One Congress
mama tLarge is in Operation

Pensacola, Sept. 10.-C. H. 3.
Floyd of Apalachicola, a representa-
tive from Franklin county in the last
two sessions of the legislature, has
finally made a real discovery.
Floyd has found, he says, that the
state of Florida was not redistricted
by the last legislature; that the en-
rolled bill and printed law creates
two third districts and no second,
and that the law does not go into ef-
congressman.
The result is, says Mr.. Floyd, that
the law is worthless and ineffective;
that Claude L'Engle will have to run
in the state at large. Floyd con-
cludes his startling telegram to the
Pensacola News with the assertion
that he will run against Congress
man L'EngIe if some kind friend will
advance the campaign fund.
Floyd's wire to the News follows:
"Apalachicola, Fla, Sept. 9.-Pen-
sacola News, Pensacola. Fla: The
congressional redistricting bill, chap
ter 6472, laws of Florida, is mon
strosity 1t does not go into effect
until after the. next election, it ere
ates two third districts and no sec.
ond district. The enrolled bill is like
the printed law. Was the law tam.
pered with, or was the Legislature
negligent? The legislature must Dc
destroyed. Let's nave a lunacy com
mission for the legislature and :
commission government for Florida
If a kind friend will advance the
campaign fund l will beat Claude fol
ngressman-at-large l am certain
of my assertions.

tropolis OF yesterday has the follow
ing:

ate; he should win and l believe he
will win
Edwin Spencer, Jr., of Ocala, who
was a leader in the House OF Repre-
sentatives at the last session despite
the fact that he is only % years old,
visited the Metropolis office today
AMI the first statement he made is
given above.
Sentiment hasn't crystalized fully
down in our section, but Stockton is
stronger than ever in Marion county,
in which he has always commanded
heavy support" said the youthful
legislator. Mr. Stockton has not
been fairly treated in the past, but l
am sure that the future holds better
things in store for him
Long and Short Haul Bill
One of the most important and ef-
ffective measures passed by Mr.
Spencer at the recent session was the
long and short haul freight rate bill
which he succeeded in getting thru
both Senate and House without al
opposing vote. This bill makes j.
imperative for the railroads to shog
the railroad commission that theil
rates are just, and gives that body
power to put just rates into effect.
! Attitude Of TrammeII
Owing to Spencer's legal ability
and to the further fact that he wa
one of Governor Trammells foo
leaders in the House, considerable
surprise has been expressed at tn
! fact that the governor recently ap
Ipointed George w. Scofeld, of Inver
ness, a comparatively unknown man
as states attorney OF that circuit, il

Editor Star: / appreciate very
highly the editorial endorsement you
gave my article on the great state
question of building brick roads
throughout our state, and the utiliza-
ton of our convicts in the carrying
out of this great project
/ am likewise grateful TO those
who have personally expressed their
endorsement and 'phoned me.
Now let us discuss this great prob
lem again, for by agitation we can
work out all the details, correct mis-
takes and finally arrive at the best
method of solving this question be-
fore time for the state to take charge
of the convicts.
| invite your attention, as we'll as
your many readers, to the following
editorial mention in the Tampa
Times of Sept. Sth:
Here is a very interesting and
timely suggestion by the DeLand
] News: Has the governor of Florida
or the commissioner of agriculture
a, contingent fund that could be used
to employ competent person to in
vestigate the clay deposits of the
state and publish data as to their fit
ness for the manufacture of vitrified
brick? Could money be used for a
better purpose?" Millions of dollars
are now being spent in the construc-
/. tion of vitrified brick streets and
roads in Florida. What tremendous
benefit would result to the people
generally if all of this money could
be kept in the state instead of being
sent to Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama
and Maryland! The suggested in.
vestigation should be made at once
and it should be thorough"
| agree heartily with this project
But when you take any plan of pro
duction of the necessary brick t
build our roads throughout the state
it assumes a more momentous propo
sition than that of our good DeLanc

number OF people the greatest posi-
bic good.
If our governor or commissioner
easily taken care of and bring the
same results, and the correct data
can be furnished our state authori-
ties, which will be authentic, and
that is for the county commissioners
in each county in the state through
the commissioner representing each
district in their county at once to be-
gin these Investigations and have
the clays found, tested and made into
brick properly burned and determine
just where this clay is, amount Of
deposit and what it can be secured
for No sensible citizen would want
to impede progress OF this nature, by
attempting to place an exorbitant
price on these deposits, when they
realize the great value the construc-
ton OF brick roads means to the ad-
Iqancement of every interest of the
whole state.
Take it in our own county-we
/ can find ample clay suitable for brick
Iand deposits that will make vitrified
brick. But even put it on basis OF
failure to find clays that will in ev-
cry instance produce the vitrified
brick In my experience l have seen
many miles of pacing put down out
OF our brick that has been burned
hard; yes, even glazed they were sc
hard, that when put down right
would be here after many of us have
gone to our reward.
/ Even though our clay does moi
vitrify, is no reason why the state
could not adopt or make a specia
sized hard brick suitable for oul
reads that will give us better roads
than any state in the South. No rea.
son why after these roads are built
that each commissioner can't be sup
piled with a certain amount of bricl
to be kept centrally located in hi
district, and one team and two men

any other trouble, to repair an:
maintain his district easily.

clay, get ready for the brick and ge
