The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1915-02-05

A misguided individual out in
Texas who means we'll but reasons
without knowledge, has introduced
a resolution in the legislature pro-
posing a constitutional amendment
to divide that commonwealth into
three States. 1T is to laugh. There
is no danger that the people will
lynch the man who proposed this
sacralige, but they will consider him
weak minded person not to be
taken seriously.

The other day the editor of the
st. Petersburg Independent went to
nearby grove and bought one dol :.
lars worth of grapefruit and or

grapefruit and rs oranges. From
the Miami Metropolis we learn that
the Pullman diners out of Miami
are charging twenty cents for half

made on the authority of a victim
who had to pay that price. Just

THE GOVERNOR FOR
CONGRESSMAN

We are not surprised by Governor
Trammell's announcement that he
will be a candidate for representa-
tive in Congress from this district.
For a long time, his friends have
understood that he would seek eth
er this honor or the toga worn by
United States Senator Bryan. Most
of them, however, believed that the
latter was the object of his aspira :
tions. Doubtless he still has it in
view; and if he wins in the con
gressional race, he may, at the ex-
piration Of Senator Fletcher's term,
become a candidate for that gentle
mans seat in the Senate.
AS said previously in this paper,
the governor is a very popular man
and he will make a good race for
any honor to which he may aspire.
If Mr.. Sparkman declines to run
again and the race is left to the
governor and Mr.. Drane alone, the
former stands a fine chance of win ::
ming, for we believe that, through :
out the district, he has greater
strength than Mr.. Drane. Both are
good men, honest and capable, and
the race between them will prove
very interesting.
The governors announcement has
doubtless given Senator Bryan some
mental relief, as the latter quite
likely regarded the former as a for
midable prospective opponent in
next years primaries. But it is
evident that Senator Bryan will not
be permitted to enjoy a full sense
of political security, as Ex-Governor
Gilchrist and perhaps Representa-
tives s. M. Sparkman and Frank
Clark threaten to oppose him in next
years primaries.
We believe that the Jacksonville
people, who seem to be much dis
satisfied with Senator Bryan, will
try to induce Frank Clark to run
against him; and, if Mr.. Sparkman
refuses to stand for re election to
his present place, his friends may
endeavor to prevail upon him to en-
ter the race for the Senate.
Governor Gilchrist, as is we'll
known, does not depend upon or
wait for his friends to "bring him
OUT" he usually brings himself out
with that independence and courage
for which he is known. His race for
governor was an exhibition Of true
political courage and his admins
tration Of that Office marked him as
a man Of genuine moral courage.
All this, however, is a DEPRESSION
from the original subject, Governor
Trammell's candidacy for Congress.
All that need be said about it now
is that 1t will be vigorously pushed
not only by the governor, but by
many loyal and enthusiastic friends.

ers themselves has received tht
cordial support of the press. +"
We have never doubted the
Willingness of the press to stand
by the growers. But since the
growers are not organized, proba-
bly, not over one-third of the fruit
of the entire state being in the
hands Of any growers organiza-
ton, we therefore look upon this
as the opportune time for com
Iplete organization, and nothing
can help to do this so well as the
press. The time is now ripe, be-
cause conditions could hardly be
worse than at the present. If all
the papers will again take up The
question of cooperation, even
though they may not entirely "a
gree as to the chow" it is bound
to bring results. 1t seems to us
that the one thing needful is that
no fruit should be shipped until
sold. Give us your best reason
why this should not be done. Is
it practical, and if not why not?
Let us hear from you pro or con.
The discussion will do you good.
Use your pen in trying to save
millions Of dollars to the state.
The problem must be solved. We
are frank to say that $1.00 per
box will be our price on the tree
in the future, and we are practi-
cally sure to get it. Wen all get
it if we go at it rigth. All we need
is right understanding.

SUPERIOR MATERIALS
For Making Wood Paving Blocks
Plentiful in South Florida

G. NJ. Carrier of this city, in {
communication to the Tampa
Times, dated June 18th, says:
"Being a constant reader Of
your paper, take the liberty ci
addressing you on the subject oil
wood blocks for roads. / have no.
ticed what you wrote regarding
what F. j, Schroeder of Milwau-
kee said some time ago, and what
you have written in your issue of
the 14th about wood blocks as a.
gainst brick and other materials
in Miami. Being familiar with the
native timber in South Florida,
think | can readily say we have a
superior timber to the timber fur
ther north, as the South Florida
timber contains much more pitch,
is much less likely to split, and
will take much less creosote, which
/ understand it, is the great
ost in creosoting timber. Some of
the timber in this section will take
but very little creosote. As it
is it will last almost indefinitely,
and | understand it is very
much this way on the lower part
of the east coast. / am confident
if there was a demand large e.
nough there would be no trouble
in getting the blocks treated right
here at home, and a much better
block. There is quite a large
creosoting plant at Hull, Fla, on
the G. II. & N. railway, for treat
ing ties, timbers and the like. i
think they have a capacity Of a.
bout 1900 standard ties daily. |
am confident if the road-making
people find wood preferable to
brick or other material, they will
have no trouble in getting the
timber right here in South Flori-
da. l will be pleased to help a
long the using of wood as much |
as | can, as it is a product of this
section, largely going to waste. ("

difficulty is not in the potential
ity of selling all she can produce
but in the undeveloped state Of
her markets. California s markets
are far more widespread, but that
state did not find ready markets
for her fruits until she began to
prosecute advertising campaigns
and she did not do that successful
| ly until she organized fruit SELL
ing organizations, mostly cooper
tive.
Now. like a successful merchant
she has great faith in printer s
ink. Nothing is left undone that
will serve to get people to talking
about her citrus fruits--no stone
is left unturned that might posi-
bly, hide beneath it a secret of sue
cess.
The Florida Citrus Exchange
and some of our largest growers
and shippers outside of the ex-
change have done some wide
spread advertising, and some of it
most effective, too. We believe
the exchange would have done
more and would have begun ear
lier if the managers had had the
earnest support for their adver-
tising campaigns of the mass of
the members. We understand
that one of our great independent
shippers is about to begin an ex-
tensive advertising campaign in
the larger papers of the consum-
ing sections of the country, not
overlooking the greater market
papers. The Florida growers
"have the goods" There is sub
stantial backing in the quality of
their products for almost any
statement they might make about
them. But there needs to be
aroused in the mass of the grow
ers and shippers a spirit that
will inspire them to applaud and
second these efforts to advertise
the Florida orange and grape
fruit.-Times- Union.

Ilimes are successfully grown; So
Iare some other fruits of lesser
lnOte.
Prices of town lots and of
lands out of town vary so great
ly that it is impracticable to give
quotations here; but almost any
one who does not expect to find
in a new and sparsely settled
country like this, the improve
ments and conveniences of Ohio
and Massachusetts, can find here
something to suit him in price and
character, whether he wishes i'm
proved or unimproved property.
The town government consists
: of mayor, marshal, five alder
men, clerk, collector and assessor,
and a treasurer. The streets
are hard surfaced and so are
miles of public roads leading iato
town. The construction of sys-
tenn of improved highways in a
special bonded road and bridge
district Of which Punta Gorda is
the center is now under way and
involves the expenditure of $780,
900. A system of water works
and sewerage has recently been
put in by the town at a cost of
$50, 100000 for which bonds were
issued.
The location is one Of the
healthiest to be found anywhere,
as is shown by vital statistics kept
y the local health officer.
A man can work out of doors
here any and every day in the
year. Prostrations from heat
never occur. The climate here is
deal the year round.
Flowing ortesian wells may be
obtained here at varying depths,
and number of them are now
in use in and about town, some for
irrigation and others for supply
ing drinking water, etc. The
water from these artesian wells
contains mineral properties and is
said to possess medicinal value,
some citizens claiming to have
been cured of various ailments by
drinking it freely. The town
owns four Of these wells.
Our people are from various
states and countries and are very
liberal and tolerant in their views
and opinions. They are hospi-

generous to their neighbors, to the
poor and needy, progressive and
enterprising to the extent of their

ON Gallipoli peninsula is being
carried on vigorously, with often
sive movements on the part OF
both the Turks and allies, but
neither side has been able to
break the deadlock. The Turks
made an attack last Wednesday,
but are said to have been repulsed,
700 men being captured.
Four more vessels have been
sunk by submarines and in one
case-the British steamer Caris-
brook-thirteen men Of the crew
are unaccounted for. The Caris-
brook, engaged in transatlantic
trade, was sunk by gunfre from a
German submarine. A large Turk
ish steamer and two sailing vessels
were torpedoed in the Black sea
by Russian submarines.
Advices from Austro- Hungarian
headquarters in Galicia attribute
the recent decided successes of
the Austro-G German forces to their
superiority in artillery. The fall
of Lemberg is expected in a day
or two.
An official statement from Pet
rograd comedies the Russian re-
tirement from the Grodek lakes,
west of Lemberg. On the Dnies-
ter, it is said, the Austrians were
driven back from two villages
with heavy losses, and ON the re-
mainder of the front they have
made no further progress.
The battle of PLAYA, on the Ison-
20 front, still is in progress, the
Austrians making repeated efforts
to drive the Italians back across
the river. An official Rome COM
munication says these attempts
have failed. Elsewhere along the
Italian front less important en-
gagements are occurring, with
small successes claimed by the
Italians.
