PUTNAM'S RESOURCES
SHOULD Be SPREAD
Abroad in Advertising of
Florida First Commits
sion.

Cities and towns which took ad-
vantage of the widespread advertis-
ing offered under the plan of the Flor
ida First Commission last year, reap
ed direct benefits such as could come
from few systems of advertising. The
Commission advertises in the leading
journals of the north.
Palatka fell down on this opportu-
nifty last year. 1t will have another
chance the coming fall. 1t ought
not to fall twice owe rthe same OPP
portunity, but should grab the oppor-
tunity and work it for all it is worth.
The Commission met in the Hotel
Seminole last week to approve the
advertising copy which had been ar
ranged for the fall campaign. 1t
also arranged for the appearance of
this advertising in a list of newspa-
pers and periodicals that will reach
one-half of the people in the United
States.
The first ad in the series, devoted
to the summer climate of Florida, will
be run in the leading newspapers of
the country Sunday, August 27. Men,
bers Of the commission feel that its
appearance Immediately following
periods of unprecedented heat thru.
out the north will be particularly ap-
propriate and bring home to the PEG.
Pile of the United States the fact that
Florida is scarcely less delightful in
summer than in winter.
During September, October, Nov.
ember and December the commission
will advertise Florida from all the
standpoints which emphasize its ag-
ricultural resources. One months
advertising will feature grains and
grasses, that of the next month will
stress the live stock possibilities of
the State, still another months adver-
Using will dwell especially on the
fruit and vegetable industries and
the advertising will conclude with
copy explaining the healthfulness and
other advantages of the common
wealth.
1t is the purpose of the commission
to conduct a special campaign for
tourists on the line of that which was
so successfully handled last season.
This advertising will not be begun uN-
til about Christmas and definite ar
engagements for it will be completed
at later meeting. Practically all
the time of today's meeting was de-
voted to matters connected with the
earlier campaign.
The members of the commission
have been greatly encouraged by the
response to their appeal for funds
and believe that they will have a lar
ger amount to spend than last wear,
representing greater number of
communities. The commercial Or
carnations contributing to the cost of
the advertising have their names and
addresses carried in all the COPY, ar
ranged alphabetically.

A number of State papers are agi-
tating the question of state division
want to make two states grow where
only one supreme, superb Florida
grew and prospered before. But
those editors do not write as if they
expected to be taken seriously. And
they do not. What they really want
is more representation to go hand in
hand with their excess taxation. Here
The News can agree with them. South
Florida is growing more rapidly than
north and west Florida, except in a
few particular sections. Time was
when things were different and north
and west Florida contained the ma
iority population, and south Florida
was a sparsly settled section of the
State. 1t was at that time that our
constitution was made and represcn-
tation was allotted. South Florida now
has the people and the bulk of the
money and Is making more rapid
strides. The Yankee is there from
New York and New England in large
numbers and he wants improvements
that he has been accustomed to, and
he is getting them. What Florida
needs is not division, but 4 getting
together on the proposition for new
constitution that will give represen-
tation based on present day popula-
ton and taxation. Some counties in
North Florida would suffer thereby,
but they ought to be willing to do a
little of the suffering, particularly as
they have not made good use of their
advantages.

c. |. KNIGHT DIES
At FLORAH0ME
Was a Pioneer Citizen of the
Drainage District.

Florahome lost one of it's most 10y
al citizens on Friday of last week
when Mr. G. L. Knight passed away,
after long illness.
Funeral services were held on Sat-
urday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at the
Methodist church, a large number of
friends attending not only from Flo
rahome, but from Putnam Hall, Gran
din, McRae and other places. The
service was conducted by Hon. w. R.
Revels as neighbor and friend. He
read the fifteenth chapter of II Corin-
thians and followed with a short talk
in which he told of the many admira-
BILE qualities of the deceased, and
praised him for his congeniality. as a
friend. He spoke of him as a man
of esteemed Christian integrity, hav-
ing belonged to the Church of Eng
land. Prayer by Mr.. Rcvels, and
singing by Mrs. G. C. Hardy, Mrs.
Wilmington, Mr.. Brandt and Mr.. G. C.
Hardy concluded the service. Inter-
ment was at the cemetery in Grandin.
Those acting as pail bearers were, A.
Brandt, Fred Hubner, William Harri-
son, Thomas Henderson and Mr.. ]. NJ.
Gilliland.
Mr.. Knight was born in Dorchester,
England, in 1874, and was married to
Miss Emily Loveliss in 1875. He has
been a resident of Florida for seven
teen years, coming here from McDon-
aid, Kansas. He lived at Putnam
Hall few months before coming to
Florahome. He was a man, who
though quiet and unassuming, made
great many friends. He is survived
by his wife, Mrs. Emily Knight, his
son Mr.. Stanley Knight of Florahome,
and his daughters, Mrs. w. D. Wese-
man of Florahome, Mrs. J. F. Draburg
ofHOlyoke, Col, and Miss Ida Knight

until he retired with his family to
his private residence a year ago.

Notwithstanding some people
are dissatisfied with the govern
ment of Florida the annual report
of the Commissioners of Inter
nal revenue shows that her reve-
nues were quite little in excess
of expenditures. This speaks
we'll for those in charge of the

The above is from the morning pa
per of Monday. 1t ought to be
spread abroad, so that the people of
the State who care dissatisfied with

that the U. S. Internal Revenue Com
sioners have actually done so we'll in

they have actually taken in more

FARMERS ATTENTION.

There is an opportunity for some
of our enterprising live stock men to
get a quick start in high class Du-
rocs at a reasonable price by combi-
ming with the Mandalay Farms, of
Middleburg, Fla, in buying car
load of select brood sows, bred to
grand champion boars, to farrow in
September and October.
Mandalay Farms have an expert
Duroc man attending the sales of
the many herds in Kentucky, Ohio,
and Indiana. This month he will buy
ten head for the Mandalay herd and
will make out the car load for any
others who want them. They will
be bought at the lowest possible price,
shipped by freight, in padded stalls
to Jacksonville and by express from
there.
Mr.. Ramsey. of the Mandalav
Farms, says the best big type sows
end gifts, bred to the famous males
of the hog belt states, can be deliver
ed IN Florida in this way for from 800
to S135 each, and that the first lit
ter will sell for enough to pay the in
yestment and leave a couple of pigs
for developing the herd.
Those who buy a SOW or gilt will
be given the free privilege of breed
ing her the next time, Mandalay De-
fender, their $1,000 boar. We hope
some of our live stock men will take
advantage of this opportunity.

A Rocky Road for State Division

Plant City Courier: All this dis
custom of state division is very good
for a hot weather topic, but when
enough of the people of Florida are
agreed on the question there remains
the somewhat difficult proposition of
getting through an amendment to
the federal constitution making the
measure a fact.
To amend the constitution, article
five of it says:
The congress, whenever two-thirds
of both houses shall deem it necessa-
ry, shall propose amendment to this
constitution or, on the application of
the legislatures of thirds of the
several states, shall call convention
for proposing amendments, which in
either case, shall be valid to all in
tents and purposes, as part OF this
constitution, when ratified by the leg
islatures of three-fourths of the sew
eral states, or by conventions in three
fourths thereof, as the one or other
mode of ratification may be proposed
by the congress; provided that no
amendment which may be made prior
to the year 1908 shall in any manner
affect the first and fourth clauses in
the ninth section of the first article,
and that no state, without its con-
sent, shall be deprived of its equal
suffrage in the senate.

that this was as true now as ever,
and to test him a big water moccasin
was caught and handed to him in the
pulpit. 1t is stated that the reptile
was as docile as a lamb in his hands.
Then a big ratler was caught and
teased till it was mad and the preach
er fearlessly took him in his hands.
The snake, it is said by eye witnesses,
bit the preacher three times, but no
serious results followed. He was
made a bit sick, but did not miss a

Making Good

Making Good
St. Augustine Record: In further
consideration of the achievements Of
the commissioned government
of St. Augustine, it is especially wor-
thy of note that the present system
marks a discontinuance of govern
ment by deficit. This is feature
that certainly will appeal to the prac-
teal business man and to the taxpay-
err who bears the burden. The ex-
penses of the new government are
kept entirely within the revenue. At
the end of the fiscal year City Mana
ger Miller will not have one cent to
report to the commissioners. In
other words, there is a strict adher-
ence to the policy of keeping the ex-
pcnditures within the limits of the re-
ceipts and the taxpayers are assured
that the expenses will never exceed
the revenue in any fiscal year.

Fifty Million More

FITty MllllOn MUTE
Tampa Tribune: Tampa's cigar
output this year will exceed all pre-
vious records by many millions.
Last years output, with total Of
more than 300,000,000, took place as
the banner year-but this year will
far exceed that total.
So far this year, the shipments
from Tampa have amounted to ~
765 900 cigars, against total of H.
100000 for the same period OF last
year-a clear gain of 50,O25,OOO for
the present year.
Averaging the shipments for this
wear at 25,000,000 month so far, we
would have a total or 3O0,0OO,OOO for
the year-but the big holiday ship
ping season is yet to come. We are
safe in predicting an output of close
to 33O0OO,000 cigars for the present
year.
At the recent Industrial Founda"
ton meeting, the statement was made
that the Tampa cigar industry had
made practically no gains in the past
five or six years. In that period, the
output has increased from 27O,OOO,OOO
to 3O5 900 900 year and the imports
of material have increased to such an
extent that Tampa has climbed from
ELEVENTH PLACE to SEVENTH
PLACE in the list of United States
customs ports. If that isn't gaining,
we don't know what the word means.

The Measure of the Man


Orlando Reporter Star: No clear.
minded person could hear a speech of
s. ]. Cats, candidate for governor,
nor read what he says without being
impressed with the absurdity of his
statements and the absolute insincer-
itv of the person himself. He has
the trunk and trimmings of a tho
rough demagogue. He makes asser-
tions of bald untruth and illustrates
his points with alleged anecdotes OF a
foul and vulgar type-yet he claims
to be a minister of the gospel, and
travels under that guise. He claims
to be a law-abiding citizen, yet he in
cites the mob to riot. He claims to
be a scholar, the graduate of two uni
vcrsities and several colleges and a
business school, yet he speaks and
write ungrammatically and fumbles
in his spelling.
Of all the monstrous mountebankS
that ever invaded the political field
the palm and pimiento the premium
Pigment and filagree-should be
awarded to S. J. Cats. He is the
prince of takers, the sheik of scan
DIAL mongers and the Captain Kidd of
as motley a band of political pirates
as ever menaced the welfare of any
state.
