to the voters of Polk county that I
Will be a candidate for the office of
county commissioner in and from
District No. . in the primary of
1914.
In making this announcement
in a measure at least realize the i'm
portance attached to the office: that
with the board of county commits
s)oners rests the duty, among 9TH
ers, of equalizing the valuation of
taxable property of the county. and
OF the construction and maintaining
OF roads. In this connection | de-
sire it understood that | believe in
equality in taxation, and that all
persons, both rich and poor should
alike, bear their share of taxation
IN proportion to the value of prom
erty owned by them.
| also believe that better roads
should be built and maintained
If nominated and elected I shall
work to this end.

on good roads which was concluded
in the Evening elegram of the 18th
inst and think | see the handwriting
on the wall. And it is time for the
1 fat man in Birmingham or the tall
man in Richmond to smile.
think the gentleman from Wash
ington was exactly right when he
said the only solution of good roads
in this section is brick highways,
and why not? Look at the brick
streets in Jacksonville that have
stood the test of fire as we'll as wear;
look at the brick on Bay street that
has been relaid not because they were
worn out but because they had set
tied into holes on account of having
no foundation under them. Brick
will not get soft in summer and
crawl down hill or get hard in win
ter and curl up at the edges.
The paving in Lakeland very plain
ly shows the contractors and COM
missioners had more confidence in
brick than the other pavement be-
cause they put brick where there is
the most traffic and if Hillsborough
county had put down brick pave
ment with the first bond money it
would have had those roads in good
condition today and for many years
to come.
Brick laid flat on a concrete foun-
dation four inches thick will give
better service than bitulithic or as
phalt, or asphalt mixed with rock.
and can be put down for less money.
have no brick for sale and am
net prejudiced against any pave
ment. My statement I make from
careful thought and long years of
experience in watching the effect of
the climatic condition as well as the
veal on the different kinds of pave
merits.

worth something to the property
owners of Lakeland and Polk county

Bitulithic and asphalt go just so
far as they are pushed. A few years
ago if you went into the city hall in
Birmingham and said bitulthic they
would have just smiled; if you had

The Telegram has received many
handsome and kindly recognitions
from the State press on its recent
"house-w and we intend to
publish them all But there is a
personal note in the following COM
ing from an old Kentucky confrere
who has but recently come to Flor
ida in which we take peculiar pleas
ure and we reprint it below. 1t is
from the Orlando Reporter-Star:
after one of his winter visits to
the land of flowers. Gov. Beckham,
of Kentucky, told the writer that
M. F. Hetherington seemed to be
making q great success of his news
paper in his adopted State. But
neither he nor We had an idea that
success is as pronounced as it is. He
has just dedicated handsome brick
home for his Lakeland Telegram,
which, Judging from it picture and
description, is a model of convent
ence and practical service. Other
pictures show the completeness of
the printery, which is not duplicat-
ed in a city of less size than Tam
pa. Mr.. Hetherington does, what
most men are loath to do, gives cred
it in large part of his success to his
wife, who, Judging also by her pic
ture, is as handsome as she is com
petent in newspaper work. With
such a wife, such man as Hether-
ington could hardly do otherwise
than make success in all endeav-
ors. May they both live long and
continue to prosper

MARS TAKES COMMAND

We can all abate our little polit-
ical troubles, ambitions and antag-
onisms now, for grim visaged war has
Stalked upon the stage and unless
all signs fail this country will be in
armed conflict with Mexico in a very
few days. The half-breed murderer
at the head of the de facto Mexican
government, after grossly insulting
our flag by the wanton arrest OF our
marines, has refused to make the
apology demanded by the laws of
nations and there is nothing left
for Uncle Sam to do but to give the
old brute the chastisement he de-
serves. If it could be done literally
on his own person we would like
it all the better but he is out of
reach just at present and in accord
ance with the cruel necessities OF
war the blow will fall upon the in
nocent as well as the guilty.
1t is an unusual complication, for
there is no Mexican government
which our own has formally recog-
nized, against which we can declare
war, and beyond blockading Mexican
harbors and taking possession of
their seaport cities and treating
them as conquered territory there
doesn't seem to be much for our
forces to do unless they meet with
armed resistance. In the latter event
it will be war to finish and when
an American army marches into the
City of Mexico there is likely to be
some new map-making and solu-
ton of the Mexican problem not
dreamed of by either Huerta or
Villa.
Uncle Sam wakes up slowly, but
when he is aroused in all his eX-
tremities nothing on this planet can
stop him.

Telegram refers to it as the Lake

er. We are particular about little
matters like that. A telegram is a
live, vital, throbbing thing that
pulsates around the world, steers the

the destiny of men and nations; a
telegraph is mere piece of wire
with a battery at each end, highly
useful in itself, but merely the
means to a noble end.

G.. F.. Chechzzli an eX-priest of
the Coptic church of Abyssinia.
ford, Cambridge and Berlin, anthro-
biological. chronological, psychologi-
cal and theological preacher, lee
tire and traveller of the world; one
whom the New York Times claims
to be "the brainest man of the race
of color" is in the city conducting
a series of meetings at the First
African Methodist and Harmony
Baptist churches. The visitor is
black and prides himself with the
fact that his knee has never bowed
to any race and his blood has never
been tainted with an alien race? He
holds the theory that within the
course of five years the white race
Africa by commercial jealousy and
territorial expansion shall be con-
quered by the combined forces of the
black, yellow and brown peoples,
and that all the black people within
forty-five years shall be in Africa.
In the course of his address last
night, he said in part:
THE day of reckoning is drawing
nearer for the white peoples to give
an account to God for the diabolical
cruelty imposed on the helpless man
of color. We are optimistic of re-
gaining our lost prestige among the
races; that prestige that by treach-
cry and preposterous ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
the white man took from our an
cestors. In the regard Of the black
mans future in America, let the
white man understand he has no
need to fear us Notwithstanding the
loud brays of the demagogues. His
fear must lie within his own race
that kind of white man who prey
on the virtue of the black women by
illegal sexual relation.
