Dear Mr.. Swatts:
am writing to ask little infor-
nation of you which I think you can

connections with the Electric Light
Plant. A friend told me you were
the LIvEST WIRE in Lakeland and
that you CHARGED everybody in
town with more than was coming to
them. Mr.. Armistead said that the
reason you were this way was be-
cause when you were a child your
mother fed you on CURRANTS al

YOU. Now, Mr.. Swatts, there are
strange rumors going around about
you and l have noticed that the City
Hall seems very quiet these days.
Is it true that you committed
crime? Why did you KILL-OLD-
WATT? l have not seen anything
in the papers about a murder but

this and she comes pretty near know

mo CATHOLIC PARTY"

I'VE want no Catholic party IN
this country" said Bishop Hickey, OF
Rochester. N. Y, before a conven-
ton of $4,000 members of various
Catholic societies assembled in New
York. And the statement was greet
cd with signs of immense satisfac-
ton and agreement by his audience
That is the proper spirit. 1t was
expressed more definite later in this
resolution, adopted by the Catholic
federation:
1--WE oppose the election OF any
candidate for public Office who So
licits support because Of his religious
Affiliations, and we earnestly solicit
the support of all patriotic Ameri-
cans to join with us in opposing any
party. faction or individual who vio-
lates the constitution Of the United
States by applying the religious test
to any candidates for public posi-
tons"
We want no Catholic party, nc
Protestant party, no Jewish party
no Mormon party. We want no Ger
man party nor Irish party mol
Scandinavian party. What we want
is nation of Americans who line VI
for politics according to their best
Judgment of the needs of the coun'
try as a whole. More and more Of
that we are getting. And that il
what we continuously and decidedly
demand Tampa Tribune.

"Uncle Joe" Dixon Writes Interestingly
CT His Trip Through The West

!, the very toughest and loneliest
country in the South, far from rail
road tracks, among primitive peo-
pie; have dined in planters man
sions as an invited guest, but much
more often at the humble board of
the poor and lowly; have slept out
times innumerable in lonely woods,
drenched with rain many times, and
roasted oftener by the sun along
treeless stretches for miles where
neither shade nor water were to be
had; have staggered until my tongue
hung out with exhaustion and en-
dured too many things to tell about,
and today, at the conclusion of
that tramp, which ended yesterday,
am in better health than in thirty
years past-liver in perfect order,
veins subsidized, circulation all right.
and if there's thing wrong with
me physically I don't know it nor
suspect it. l an hygenic and
sanitary marvel and all 1 lack is
teeth and hair to be young again.
''In the great tropical hurricane
which devastated the South on the
night of the 5th of July, l was
caught in it down near the gulf coast
in south Mississippi in very lonely
region and for twenty consecutive
hours / trembled and prayed most
devoutly to God while the hurricane
roared around me and the rain
deluged me, my only shelter being
the remnants of an old abandoned
shack full of holes on roof and sides
and which seemed ready to fall of
it's own weight and weakness. And
yet with great trees foot and more
in diameter falling all around that
little shack during that pitch black
night, and the hellish noises of Ver-
dun crashing and laundering around
me, the single weak wall of decaying
plank that sheltered me and received
the full impact of every charge of
the hurricane, stayed in place, with
little patch of unbroken roof above
it, and about noon next day
crawled out Of that miraculous
sanctuary the worst drenched man
and the best Christian in the State
of Mississippi. That is merely one
instance in fifty where the special
providence of God, without violating
any of His natural laws, has inter-
posed to save me. These instances
are too striking and frequent to be
accounted for as merely happy
chances or lucky accidents, and
would be an obdurate blockhead to
view them in that way.

TRUCKING MAY BE
STUDIED BY MAIL

Trucking is one of the most I'M
portant industries in the State. With
citrus growing it shares the attention
of the average homeseeker. A large
number of farmers in the State have
made, and are making, money grow
ing truck crops There is no reason
that more farmers should not find
trucking profitable. The area in Flor
ida which can produce winter vege-
tables is small when compared with
the millions of overwhelmingly
norerners
The University of Florida College
of Agriculture offers a correspond
ence course in trucking. Further in
formation concerning this course and
others that are offered may be had
by addressing the College of Agri-
culture Gainesville.

Uncle Joe" Dixon, editorial VIII
er on the Telegram, who since early
in March has been off on his annual
tour of the Western States, has at
last been heard from, the editor of
the Telegram having received long
and interesting letter from him at
Dothan, Alabama, last night, the
first communication since he left.
When Uncle Joe takes these trips he
leaves the world behind him, cutting
loose from everything and everybody
he has ever known before, as in
uuiries in his letter show-he wants
to know how the bond election for
good roads came out; who was elect
ed State senator, and other matters
of like nature, which prove there are
more Rip Van Wrinkles than the old
original. Although his letter was
not intended for publication, we
cannot refrain from publishing parts
of it, as we feel sure his many
friends here and in all parts of the
State will be glad to read his inter-
esting account of various adventures
he has had. His letter, in part, fol-
lows:
Il went down to Apalachicola on
the way to Pensacola, going to Texas
and had a great session with Harry
Floyd who cut up all sorts Of mental
capers for my entertainment, and
from Apalachicola I went across the
gulf in a steamer to Pensacola.
after visiting Palestine and other
points in Texas I went up through
North Louisiana, Arkansas, Mem
phis, Tenn, and finally got off the
train at Vossburg, Miss, with few
measly dollars left, and commenced
that gentleman walking tour
Mr.. H. wrote about. And, believe
me, it was some tour. l have in my
time comprised prodigious expert
ence of that kind, taking in many
States and Territories, but this out
ranked them all, not in distance COW
cred, but in the diversity of adven-
lures, grinding hardships, spiritual
revelations, strange and interesting
characters met up with, crazy circles
of travel, crossing and recrossing
each other, close calls escaped and
vastly more than l can tell about or
you would care to hear. You have
perhaps heard me speak of my be-
lief in special Providence. Man
alive, it has been demonstrated to
me fifty times as clearly as mathe-
MATES or geometry, and "the fool
hath said in his heart there is no
God" has a new and infinitely deeper
meaning to me than it ever had be-
fore.
when I left Lakeland my liver
was dead, my kidneys on the bum
and my blood circulation in such
condition that the veins were start

An item is going the rounds stat
ing that Florida has a printing es-
tablishment for every 10000 people.
The item appearing in so many pa

that there is a printing establishment
for every 1000 people of Florida, in
sead of for every 10000. The State
would be in pretty bad shape if the
item as originally stated were true.

Editor Jordan's proposition to sub

who fawns on a candidate and then
goes into the booth and secretly

his support, it would be worth con-
sidering. The secret ballot breeds a

Before 1000 people in the City
Park Of Lakeland, Sidney J. Cats, in
seeking to discredit the gains in the
recount made by w. v. Knott, made
the positive and unqualified state
ment that no candidate made gains
in the recount except Knott. Mr..
Cats did not say he believed this to
be "a fact, or that such was his in
formation; he KNOWS the facts in
the recount If any man in Florida
does, and he made the statement.
positively and unequivocaly, that no
candidate had made gains except Mr..
Knott. But how are we to reconcile
this assertion with the following
statement from the Jacksonville Me-
tropolis, paper that is very friendly
to Cats candidacy:
"a remarkable thing about
the recount of the gubernatorial
vote in the various precincts of
the State is the gain for Ion L.
Farris for Governor In Duval
county alone the Duval senator
gained as many as thirty votes
on the second count in some of
the smaller precincts. There
are many of the opinion that he
would have shown larger per
cent of gains on the recounts
than any other candidate"
AS a matter of fact, every candi-
date has shown both gains and losses
in the recount all over the State
and Mr.. Cats knew this when he
made his mis-statement. But he pre-.
.sumed that his auditors were not in.
