Albert Williamson is one of the
unafraid editors in this State who
isn't bothered by that bugbear of
small minds called consistency, and
although he has said many hard
things about Pleasant Holt in years
past, he has this to say about him
in the last Floridian in connection
with the now exploded charge that
Mr.. Holt had been seeking to regis
ter negroes to vote for Senator
Fletcher in the Democratic primary:
while we are talking, we are 60
ing to say something else about this
same man. We have said that we
had been mean to him. We have
patiently and, psrsistently watched
his public career, and We have tried
our level best to get something
against him 80 that we could roast
him, but in all our efforts we are
still unable to point the finger Of
scorn at one single corrupt or dis
honest act"

There's money for the drunkard's
wife, after all, in the saloon bust
ness, if only the drunkard himself
will adopt the following suggestion
of correspondent of the Eustis
Lake Region:
start saloon in your own
house. Be the only customer. You
will have no license to pay. Go to
your wife and give her 81 to buy
gallon of whisky and remember
there are sixty-nine drinks in one
gallon. Buy your drinks from no
one but your wife, and by the time
the first gallon is gone, she will
have IS to put in the bank and 81
to start business again. Should you
live ten years and continue to buy
booze from her and then die with
snakes in your boots, she will have
money enough to bury you decent
ly, buy house and lot, marry a
decent man and quit thinking about
you.

The tactical blunder at the begin
ming of the Stockton campaign to de-
feat Senator Fletcher by seeking to
make 1t appear that Pleasant Holt
was the manager of the Senator's
campaign and of farther seeking to
make it appear that Holt was at
tempting to secu!e the registration
of Jacksonville NEGROES to vote for
Senator Fletcher in a Democratic
primary, will hoodoo the cause of
Mr.. Stockton right up to the date
of the primary, and we suspect that
that gentleman has already discov-
cred the blunder and deeply regrets
the mistaken zeal of his henchmen.
1t has b en- clearly proved that Holt
is not the manager of Senator Fetch
er's cam i'm and has no more con-
nectiCa With it than any other citi-
zen OF Florida And in addition it
has been clearly proved to fair-mind-
ed men that Holt was not guilty of
seeking TO register negroes to vote IN
Democratic primaries, for no man
who wants to be inst and take no
unfair partisan. allantagc could con
strue The cir lar letter incident into
any such intention. Mr.. Holt can
fight his own battles. but the effort
10 connect him with Senator Fetch
er to the DISADVANTAGE Of the latter.
is SO obviously unjust 10 the senator
that papers supporting him for re-
election can and should do no less
than TO fairly state Hollis side Of the
case.

Former Senator Teller of Colorado
had passed so completely from pub
lie view that most people supposed
him dead years ago until the dis
patches today announced that ne
had Just died. He was at one time
a national figure and an acknowl-
edged Republican leader, but he
abandoned that party on the free
silver issue and remained Demo
crat until he died. He was a man
of great ability in the Senate, a for.
mihable debater at all times, and in
his private Wife and character he
was all that an American senator
should be.

AS Washington birthday fell on
Sunday this time. it's legal celebra-
tion has been postponed until to-
day and the nation is holding its
usual hilarious and devil way care
high old time in commemoration of
the glorious event. Take Tampa,
for instance. The way those peo-
pie are cutting up down there today
is almost scandalous when we con-
slider what staid and sober church
member General Washington was
and how he would have condemned
all the noisy and bibulous proceed
inss in progress there right now.
Here in Lakeland we merely close
the banks and the postoffice, which
is much more seemly way of cele-
brating the day, and we doubt not
that Washington himself, who never
told a lie and said dammit"
der great provocation-only one
time in his life, would much prefer
our chaste and simple way of hon
oring his birthday

The Arcadia News calls timely at

of us, that there need be no discus
sion of the propriety of asking the
next Legislature to submit consti-

the last Legislature did that very
thing. We will be called on to vote
on that amendment next November.

WHY NEGLECT THE OLD GROVES

Yes, why neglect them. when with
so little time and expense they can
be made to bear again and when they
do bear it will be as full grown trees
and not as young trees just starting
to bear. 1t is shame to see the old
groves that were damaged by the
freeze, but have grown up again, not
given the proper attention. II you
stop minute to think, you will see
that by grating or budding on this
strong old stock, you would soon
have fine, large, healthy trees. There
are hundreds of acres of old groves
throughout this State that with care
and proper attention would soon
blossom out into profit bearing
groves.
Taking out the dead wood will
help wonderfully. After the dead
wood is cut out. the strongest and
most healthy limbs should be care
fully prepared, and budhed with the
young stock you wish to PERFECT
uate. In the north large companies
exist that do nothing but rescue old
and neglected apple orchards. II
they can afford to save their old ap.
pie orchards, why can't we of Flor.
ida afford to save our old orange
groves?
The Florida orange is far superior
to any orange that grows and there
fore should have the best Of care.
Our fruit, already superior to any,
could be made even better and also
would be in greater demand if more
spraying was done. The fruit on
tree cannot become perfect unless
the leaves are healthy and stay on
the tree. A tree, no matter Of what
variety, gets one-third of its food
from the air and all of that one-third
through its leaves. Therefore, it only
stands to reason that to have al
healthy tree, you must have healthy
leaves. And you cannot have these
unless you spray, you may for a
time but you can never tell when
blight of some kind is going to in
fest your trees, therefore insure
against this by spraying thoroughly
and often.
The writer demonstrated the re-
of old trees in an orchard
that had had the care that any farm
er usually gives his orchard. (Saw
off a wind broken limb.
In the year 1911. one of these |
trees bore about ft2 bushels of in
ferior apples and the other none to
speak of. The trees were trimmed |
and sprayed in the fall of the same
year. In the spring and sum er of |
1872, the trees received proper at
tention and that year twenty BUSH
els were sold from the first tr and
ten from the second The ritter
cared for these trees in the fall of
1872 and the spring of 1919. AL
though spring frost injurel the
buds one of these trees bore twenty
five bushels and the second twenty !
bushels in that year. There was no
fruit worth mentioning on the trees
not cared for. The same result can
be obtained from orange trees With
proper care, trees that are now bear

QUARTER CENTURY IN SERVICE
Capt. C. W. Wright Is Warmly
Felicitated on Record,

Capt Charles W. Wright. hull in
spector in the local board of the United

Saville were in charge Of the local dis
trict. Upon the death of Capt Cooper,
about fourteen years ago. Capt Wright

public servant throughout his long serv-
ice. In all cases dealing with licensed
officers whose difficulties were brought
before the board he has always been re-
garded as considerate and indulgent
ted
Notwithstanding his many official du-
ties. Capt. Wright found time in his lei
sure hours at home to devote to literary
pursuits. His book. THE Wright Ancen-
try in Caroline, Dorchester, Somerset
and Wicomico Counties in Maryland" ;"

capable critics as one Of the most valua-
BILE contributions made within recent
years. He is member of the Maryland
Academy of Sciences.
Capt. Wright was born in Caroline
county, and from it's shores he got the
call of the sea and the inspiration to
write of its people and local history

Interest Is Keen.

There is among many of the older navy
officers in Washington a keen personal
interest in the vessels here now. They
are not the latest of their kind in the
navy. but they are among the best ex-
ampleS of submarine boat construction,
and afford remarka ble comparisons with
the Holland. from which they were de-
veloped. The submarines now mere. most
of which formerly were commissioned un-
der the more picturesque names Grayling.
Salmon and the like. have made some of
the longest voyages credited to craft of
their purpose. The Salmon made voy-
age from Boston to the Bermudas and re-
turn, which is one of the most remark
able achievements ever made by sub
marine.
Their arTnaments. including torpedo
tubes. are of late type. though not of
the greatest caliber and range yet con-
structed- Their engines are of the gas
oline internal combustion type which are
similar to. though vastly improved upon,
the types used in the Holland. and to
which in later vessels have given way to
the Diesel heavy oil engines. Their stor-
age batteries. for use in submerged op-
erations, are likewise of late type in
which the submarines most recently COM
.nissioned have improved forms The
dabita ability - the Hvableness of the
tesse,-is vastly improved. and even on
