GROWERS PUT UP
VIGOROUS APPEAL

IN an Interview with Secretary
HolWorthy, of the Lakeland Board
OF Trade, he says that, Judging from
the hearing before the State railroad
commission at Kissimmee yesterday
the individuals and organizations
who and whose interests are serious
~ affected by the discrimination "a
railroad freight rates by the efforts
OF the railroad companies in the
State to resist the application of
that part of the law passed at the
last session OF the Legislature
known as the long and short haul
clause, are making vigorous fight
for those interests. In spite of the
fact that the railroad companies are
ably represented not only by their
general freight agents and others as
well as a high salaried attorney,
those heard at kissimmee Yesterday
made the strongest kind of case
against the position of the railroads
operating in the State which asks
for relief through the non-enforce-
ment of the long and short haul
clause of the act. This law, as is
generally known. was intended to-
enjoin the railroads from charging
a higher rate of freight on commod-
tiles to intermediate points than
that charged to points located at
greater distance on the same line.
Among a number of instances cited
was that of commercial fertilizer.
The rate on this article from Jack
sonville to Tampa is 81 81 and the
rate from Jacksonville to Plant City,
is 1924, though the haul to Plant
City is % miles less than to Tampa,
discrimination against
Plant City of GO cents per ton. One
of the delegates made telling reply,
to point illustrated as reason for
the. railroad companies excuse for
such discrimination They attempt,
ed to show that it cost very little
more to haul train of so cars than
one of % by the idea of party OF
five engaging an automobile to
make a certain trip for $25. If
sixth party was taken along for 81
he owner of the car made that ex-,
ira 50 for the trip and it cost no
more to carry the sixth man. The
.eply was quick and effective that
While it cost the owner of the car
10 more to carry the sixth man for,
he So, he ought to have shared In
proportionate rate so that the
,ther five would have paid an equal
md lower rate.
The members Of the commission
ire apparently doing everything in
heir power to give the protesting
PARTIES a fair and generous hearing
md are ever alert to uncover the
weak points in the railroads posi-
ion. |

of the Ladder CT Fame.

Many persons, crippled in early age,
have, notwithstanding their intirmity
made a name for themselves in the
history OF the world.
The notorious, or famous, according
to the point of view, French states
man TalEeyrand, the friend of Napol-
con, and for time French smbas-
sador at the English court, was
throu . An accident when one year
old, 1vEdered a cripple for life. His
cunning, cleverness, political penetra-
ton, adroit intrigues and ingenious
subterfuges we're vehemently opposed
by the emperor's wife, Josephine, who
energetically denounced him as a
cursed cripple"
Both Lord Byron and Sir Walter
Scott were lame.
Mrs. Browning, the distinguished
English poetess, was Of delicate con-
stitution, and never enjoyed robust
health. Her sufferings were due to
an accident which happened in her
sixteenth year. She was one day try
ing to saddle her pony in field when
she fell with the saddle upon her, in
curing an injury to the spine. The
after affects were so serious that for
years she had to recline on her back.
In every walk Of life, crippled per-
sons have won renown, and proved
that their infirn1ity has by no means
hindered their rise up the ladder OF
fame.
