Improved Guavas

William Speck of Olympia ave-
nue. is entitled to all kinds of cred
it. A few years ago while he own
ed and occupied the premises on
the corner of Mary and Olympia
streets now owned by Col. Wal
lace Chadman, he, cultivated a
number of species Of guavas. A
mong them were the pear guava
which is absolutely seedless, the
pepper guava which has the form,
shape and size of a large pepper,
and the strawberry guava, a spec
les which smells and tastes like the
strawberry, though it is very much
larger than that luscious fruit.
Mr.. Speck devoted much time to
the cultivation of many varieties
of guavas and Col. Chadman since
his purchase of the place, has con-
tinued in the same line. The re-
suit is wonderful, and the guavas
brought into this office by Mr..
Chadman a day or so ago clearly
demonstrates what care and cul-
tivation will do in the growth of a
quality of guavas.

Will Discuss Other Subjects

Now brethren, what have you
TO say about the boosted influence
of the press? Eighty per cent. OF
the newspapers advocate one man
and seventy-fve per cent. OF the
people vote for another. Ever
since Bob Davis ran for governor
and Taliaferro ran for reelection
to the senate, this has been the
case. 1t appears that the news
papers have no political influence
and the only purpose they serve
in campaign is to make a noise.
This being so, The Herald rec
ommends that, hereafter, they de-
vote their attention to news, to ag-
riculture, horticulture, astrology
and meteorology AS the people
are not well posted on these sub
jects, they may pay some atten-
ton to what the newspapers say,
especially as the newspapers will
get their information and sugges-
lions from the scientists at Gaines
vile and Washington.
By promoting improved meth
DDS in the cultivation of fields,
gardens and groves for those who
are industrious and the study of
the stars for those who are lazy or
romantic-by concentrating the
attention of the people on these
and similar subjects, the newspa-
pers will contribute greatly to
bring peace and prosperity to the
state, and at the same time, divert
the minds of the people from any
deviltry they may contemplate.
The Herald intends to adopt
this policy,-print something that
the people will pay attention to,
and hereafter steer clear of that
device of Satan known as a pri-
mary election.

Beggars and Takers Coming

Pretty soon Wen be besieged a
gain by itinerant street preachers
and cripples who follow thu
crowds. It's strange how thu
poverty stricken can make" thu
Eastern beaches in the summer
and Florida in the winter, wher
people who work twelve months
a year cam get week s vacation
or funds to finance an outing
Jax Metropolis.
Florida will soon be infest
ed with takers of all kinds, from
the man who is getting up al
advertising directory, selling
space at a high price, collecting
in advance and having about q
dozen copies printed, to the young
man who is walking on a wager
wager that he can bum his way
through Florida and realize a
handsome profit on tn trip. Give
all these takers on the trip. Give
or tell them where they can secure
good job and an honest living.
'-Daytona Journal.
Every winter Florida is visited
by the lame, the halt and the
blind from other parts of the
country. They come to Florida
because the winter here is not so
severe as in other sections. The
success of the professional beggar
depends upon his opportunity to
get out into the open where there
are plenty of people. To large
extent the cold weather of high
err ATTITUDES forbids this; but in
Florida the chances are better. 1t
is for this cause that professional
beggars flock to Florida as soon as
winter begins.
The average man is sorry for
this class of people and seldom re-
fuses their appeals, although he
may feel sure, in his own mind,
that his charity is not being
worthily bestowed. He does not
wish to take the chance of turn
ing down an appeal to help real
distress. Usually the beggar is a
cripple, or blind, and these in
themselves are sufficiently appeal
ng regardless of the conditions
back of them, and they cause men
o open up the purse strings.
The pity is that, owing to the
as they are present,
zach community in the state does
lot devise some means Of investi-
rating these cases, and then, after
operating the wheat, drive the
half from the state.
In this way we might be re-
leved from running into horrible
lights of deformity on the prom
lent corners or at the post office,
Or the worthy ones of these people
ould be taken off the streets and
rovided for through pubyic char
y, and at less cost to the sew
al communities in the state
rom a Florida Paper.

Mr.. Knott is Grateful


Hon. w. V. Knott, defeated can
didate for governor, has issued tn,
following letter to the people o
Florida:
| For the honors conferred upor
me in the past, for the democra
tic nomination for governor in the
June primaries, and for the sup
port rendered me in the general
election last Tuesday, | am toe
grateful to leave room in my
heart for any feeling of bitterness
over my defeat.
At all times during the cam
paign | have acted in accordance
with my sense of right and duty
to the party which nominated me
| for governor, and | have no re-
grets for any personal sacrifices |
have made in doing so. / did not
feel that | had the right to enter
upon a campaign until my nomi-
nation had been definitely and f.
nally established under the laws
of the state, and the time inter-
vening before the election was so
short that the loyal work of the
state democratic executive COM
mittee, the county committees and
other loyal democrats was not suf-
ficient to overcome the sentiment
produced by the campaign which
had been waged necessarily while
the nomination was still undeter-
mined. Insofar as we could
reach the voters of the state with
a true statements of the facts sur
rounding the legal proceedings,
the result was generally highly
gratifying, but there were thous-
ands we could not reach at all in
the limited time before the cleo
ton.
For those who voted against
me from sincerity of conviction, I
have neithre censure nor criticism.
Those who willfully misrepresent-
I'd and slandered me have been
efficiently answered by the en-
lorsement Of my friends and
leighbors of twenty years, and to
he people of Tallahassee and Le-
n county | express especial APP
recitation for the splendid major
y given my candidacy Tuesday.
am confident of ultimate justice
eng done to the integrity of my 7
lotives by those who may hon r
silly have questioned them here !
1fore.
The success of the democratic
ck2t nationally and the usual
'Jorltles given practically all
emocratic nominees in Florida !
aould be sufficient compensation :
or the loss of the governorship. '
he office of governor is greater ,
han any man who ever held it or !
Splred to it, and the state of
lorlda is greater than any man or
'arty in it. | earnestly trust that ,
ny friends and supporters, in ,
Common with all good citizens will
support the next COVER
Tor and administration, regardless
II past differences, in all that may
end to the prosperity and up
building of our great state, and
he blessings of its citizens under
heir laws and liberties. Grateful
y and sincerely,
w. V. KNOTT.

The esteemed Tampa Tribune
now asks The Herald to give il
(The Tribune) credit for success
in advocating (a) Woodrow Will
son; (b) S. j. Cats, and (c) the
defeat of the reapportiOnment a.
mendment. This, because The
Herald, some time previous to the
last election, charged The Tribune
with I've defeat of nearly every
candida it advocated. The cred
it is glady given, but didn't The
Tribune, towards the close of the
last campaign advocate VIM. V.
Knott inst of Rev. Cats?
VIII Tribune had persist
'vo"acv Of Rev. Cats?
ould It have proved a hoodoo?
Err what? Bat since The Tribune
has elected Woodrow Wilson and
defeated that dadfaddled amend
ment, it deserves the plaudidts of
all Florida. The Tribune most
cOmmcndable success, however, is
found in the great work it has
done in the up-building of Tampa
and all the southwestern part of
Florida. In this, it surely has ac-
complished wonders.

it is suitable, it will certainly helm
to solve the problem.

Barlow Record We have en-
tirely too much legislation for our
own good. The Americans are
law mad. 1t is indeed, to be plain
about it, appalling, not altogether
in its immense volume, but in its
superfiuousness, to say nothing of
its uselessness, it may be said OF a
greater part of all the statutes,
1t can be said, as a matter of fact,
that to a great extent the Amerl-
can lack of respect for law is on
account of its superabundance.
Lakeland Telegram: - There
never was a more trying time on
newspapers than the present.
Their expenses have increased a
hundred per cent. or more, with
no increase in revenues. 1t is
certainly a bad time to branch out
and it is likely that good many
newspapers not firmly established
will be compelled to get out of the
game The times seem to have
singled the newspaper business out
for their particular malevolence,
Every person who owes a newspa-
per anything ought to pay it now.
