Hon. John P. Wall of Putnam Hall
was visitor in the city yesterday. 1t
has been whispered on the streets
here that Mr.. Wall contemplates en-
terlng the legislative race, but that

on Wednesday, convinced The News
man that here was one who held to the
old-time principles of democracy and
who was democrat with ample rea-
sons for the faith that is in him. DR..
McRae, when the new law enacted by
the last legislature, and which re-
quires candidates for Representative
to run in groups, said "There is moth
ing fair in such law; it deprives the
people of freedom of choice-it was
not enacted as a measure for the peo-
pie, but it was evidently intended as
a measure to help re-elect those al
ready in"

! All preparations have been practi-
cally completed for the South Florida
Fair and Gasparilla Carnival. to be
held at Tampa, February 4 to IL, with
an extension of one day for the ben
eft of the Negroes of the section, and
features of both fair and carnival will
/ be superior to any hitherto presented
in the South.
Extremely low rates are offered by
railroads and steamship lines from
points east of the Mississippi river,
also some points west, and passenger
agents of these lines predict that thou
sands of homeseeksrs and tourists Will
be brought to the city and section.
Even lower rates will be offered from
points in Florida, and Tampa is pre-
pared to care for larger number of
visitors than have been seen in a
Florida city before.
E1orida's Greatest Fair.
That this will be Florida's greatest
product fair is guaranteed by the fact
that fourteen South Florida counties
will be represented by general ex-
hibits, while community and inoivid-
ual exhibits will be sent from other
counties. Exhibits are also expected
from the Island of Cuba. Six exhi-
bition buildings, including a main
building of brick, nearly 600 feet IN
length, have been erected on the 1alI
grounds by the City of Tampa and
the Fair Association, and although
these have exhibit space OF i5,oVo
square feet, every inch has been taken
Every product known to South Flor-.
ida will be shown and the array 81
exhibits will be one of great variety
rha hliildinUG are the
most attractive ever erected in Florlua
for exhibition purposes.
Fine Amusement Features.
There will be presented on the fair
grounds, which are behind the mu-
nicipally owned Tampa Bay Hotel, ana
within a three-minute walk or the
principal business street of the city,
the most up-to-date amusement at
fractions yet brought south or the
Mason and Dixon line. Many or THESE
will be free attractions, presented eacn
afternoon in front of the large grant
stand, before which fast harness ana
running races also will be run.
Scores of fast horses have been
brought to Tampa for these races, but
no gambling will be allowed in con-
nection Herewith. Furthermore, the
sale of intoxicating liquors on and
near the grounds will not be tolerated
nor will an even slightly offensive
amusement feature be tolerated in the
city.
Thrilling Aviation Flights.
Spectacular loop-the-loop nights
will be made in an aeroplane by A. G.
Beach, Americas most daring aviator,
who will also illustrate the use OF
aeroplanes in war. The destruction OF
a large fort will be feature. Every
act presented will be a thriller and
in keeping with other features OF the
great development event. We are
determined to make the features OF
this fair pleasing to people OF all
classes, and nothing will be SHOWN
that is not novel and absoiutely
clean" said President w. q. Brorelh'

was buried in q long boat which was
.sheathed with cement, as the story
goes, to make it water tight. tnen
sunk in the waters Of the little creek.
A wealthy contractor living in TINS
.citv spent more than $4,000 seeking
for this treasure, going down with
Icaissons and pumps. The long boat
was located and part of the treasure
was brought up, 1t is said but it is

Isn't 1t a great foundation for a

High links of Pirate Ship.
TIE Krewe in their yearly festivals
portray the approach of Gasparlila "a
the city of Tampa. The pirate ship
comes up the bay, its crew rejoicing
at the prospect of rich loot There
are high links on the pirate snip.
They land with much flourishing oil
cutIasses, swapping of pistols and pa
rade of gaiIy costumed jewellers. For
mai demand is made on the mayor
for the keys of the city, the secret OF
the strong boxes and the most beau
Itiful naidens of the town.
Then comes the parade through the
streets in which the pirates exu,t over
their captured city. That night comes
the grand ball, with the GROWING OF
the pirate king and queen, named by
ballot on that happy occasion, and
there is much. much revelry.
Could anything be better? And can
anyone wonder that Tampa saw in
This the means of making herself still
more widely known? Hats off to the
Gasparilla Carnival!
An illustration of how the Mystic
iKrewe has grown is seen in the fact
that there were only thirty men in
the first band. Now there are 100, and
there would be no trouble in making
the number 200. Every place would
still be taken just as they now are. In
addition to the 100 active members OF
the band there is an honor list of lou
