TAX COLLECTOR MURDAUCH
HIGHLY COMPLIMENTED
BY GRAND JURY

Hon. p. Murdaugh, tax col
lector of Polk county, is justly proud
of the splendid compliment paid him
blythe grand jury, in its presentment,
as published in yesterdays Telc-
gram. The report especially COM
mends the excellent system installed
in the tax collectors Office by Mr..
Murdaugh, which enables the tax
payer to secure any desired informa
ton in the least possible time. We
have personally inspected the i'm
,~cvem ents introduced into this Of
flee, and they certainly show Mr. :.
Nurdaugh to be very painstakine
and capable, and he is, moreover, ex-
ceedingly courteous and obliging at
all times.
Mr.. Murdaugh says at the proper
time he will ask the voters of the
county to entrust him for the next
term with the office he is managine
SO splendidly.

Mr.. ERICKSON DEFINES HIS
POSITION WITH REFERENCE
TO THE MORNING STAR

Editor of the Lakeland Evening Tel
egram, Lakeland, Fla:
Dear Sir: An article in the October
23 issue Of the Morning Star states
or implies that A. x. Erickson has
harmed the Morning Star. (How
could he?)
He desires to write in this behalf,
merely that he has represented per
sons opposed to the Morning Star :.
Personally he regards the Morning
STAR well enough, and is sub
scrjber.
As an attorney representing liti-
gants opposed to the Morning Star,
which it might be said exists by the
sufferance of two courts, and the
daily contribution of politicians and
others. who want the election to be
right" for them, he regards the
Morning Stars attitude as that OF
the fox who tried to get the grapes
and failed. If the Morning Star is
in danger, as it says it is, it is sug-
gested that it add few more law.
: ers to its present formidable array
1t Is observed also that the out
come of suits at law are not deter
, mined by petty newspapers.
Yours respectfully,

1t has been brought to my atten-
tion that local agents for other au-
tomobiles are delighting themselves
in "knocking' the Maxwell, stating
that the Maxwell did not give the
local representative in 1914 perfect
satisfaction, and in justice to the
Maxwell car and our business, we
want to ask all prospective automo-
bile buyers to inquire of the local
agent who handled the 1914 Model

pressed toward the Maxwell car.

The rather profitless results Of the
recent meeting in Jacksonville of the
various press associations of Florida,
outside it's social features, gives add
ed strength to the suggestion of the
Tampa Tribune that onfy bona fide
newspaper men should be admitted
TO membership in such associations
The Telegram has recently given it's
full endorsement to the Tribune's
view OF the subject, but the matter
is too important to be dropped and
the State papers should agitate the
matter until a long needed reform
has been effected. Our press asso-
Citations will never have any value
outside their social and junketing
features until we put them on Sc
rious business basis, and this cant
be done until perfect community OF
interest is secured by excluding the
outsiders.

Mr.. Bussard lis a nice old gentle
man, and we do not think he would
have stopped so low as to try to in
jeet religious prejudice into this dis
cussion if some one had not prompt
cd him. That won't work in this
town, Mr.. Bussard. Our people are
too enlightened. 1t was tried here
once, and the issue was .squarely
met, and the editor of the Telegram
received probably the greatest per-
centage of votes ever cast for a can
didate in this community. We do not
know what denomination you belong
20, Mr.. Bussard, as we do not con-
Germ ourselves with such matters;
but If YOU attend q church in this
city, it is one we have some stock
in. There is not a church build
ing, lofty or humble, for white or
oolored, that we know of in this
community to which we have not
furnished a plank or brick, besides
rendering every one of them from
the greatest to the smallest, every
service and courtesy in our power.
One of the principals in organiz-

money in it did SO for the sole and
avowed purpose Of overthrowing the

The public now knows what the

along, tina: the morning paper was

ever know the time, brother, since
dry counties were first invented that
streams of liquor literature were not
pouring into them from the people
who deal in the stuff in the licensed

their literary activities in that di-
