northern players have to Florida
golf courses in the past has been the
fiat character of the ground. These
men knew the requirements of good
golf courses and will appreciate the
undulating character of our course
and the sporty" nature of several
of the holes to be negotiated. OF
course, every player using it will re-
turn to his home club and advertise
the fact among his associates. In
this way the course will be never
ending and constantly increasing ad-
|vertisement for Lakeland.
The drive to the course from Lake
land when the boulevards are COM
pleted, will make one of the most
beautiful drives in the State of Flor
ida. Turning off of Florida avenue
about four miles out, the road will
connect with a boulevard road
through Scott Lake Park, and by .
meandering route, with occasional
glimpses of Scott lake through the
semi-tropical trees. and shrubs, pass
around the east side of the lake to
the club house on the south.
In addition to golfing, there will
be facilities for tennis, boating. fish
ing and bathing, and the club house
will undoubtedly in time become the
social resort of Polk county and its
visitors.
Nine holes of the course have been
sodded, and will be ready for play
the coming season. The second nine
holes have been cleared and will be
put in condition for play as rapidly
as possible. Work on the club house
will be begun at once and the course
will be ready for players early in
the winter.
The card will be as follows:

Tables were placed for rock, and
this interesting game claimed the at

which they were hidden to the din
ing room where delicious refresh
ments Of sherbet, homemade cakes,
candies and fruit were served. The

IN CASE OF STRIKE
LAKELAND WILL
HAVE FOOD SUPPLY
FOR TWO WEEKS

Lakeland in case of a strike will
have food sufficient for about two
weeks. AS the nearest base of sup
plies is Tampa and that city says two
weeks or a month will see their sup
ply exhausted, this section will face
a serious situation in case a strike is
called.
The Tampa Tribune Of this morn !.
ing says:
A tentative embargo order has
been received by the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad Company and a posi-
tive order to the Mallory Steamship
Company, and similar orders are ex-
pected by the Seaboard Air Line
Railway Company sometime today,
in line with the impending nation
wide railroad strike.
d. E. Freeman, general agent Of
the Atlantic Coast lime in this city,
has received orders from j.. c.
NIurchison, general superintendent
OF the Third Division of the A. G. L.
r. R. Co., with headquarters in Jack
sonville, to the effect that it may be
necessary, within the next twenty
four hours for the A. G. L. to issue
embargoes on freight destined for
! foreign lines. The telegram also
urges conservation of equipment,
such as the assembling of all freight
cars available, and the non-transfer
of any equipment to any other line
in view of the impending strike,
which, will go into effect next Mon
day morning.
]. b. Crenshaw, of the firm of
Crbnshaw Brothers & Saffold, Mr..
Mickler of the Mickler Stores, Fred
Ball of the Ball Grocery Company, R.
H. Smith, manager of Swift & Co. +,
all concur in the opinion that the
strike will bring about a much
, dreaded condition, that of the scar
city of food, if it lasts for any length
of time and that Tampa has not more
than two weeks or months fool
supply on hand. All of these firms
have been trying to- buy up an ad-
ditional supply but have failed in
most instances.
Although Tampa and South Flor
ida are blessed with resources which
would ordinarily keep her people
from starvation, there is no system
other than the railroads to bring
this stuff into the city.
Would Develop Country for Time
! The farmer would get rich in a
hurry in the event the strike was of
any duration. His vegetable crop
would increase in value a hundred
fold. There are many kinds of fruit
and vegetables grown in this Sec
,tion. as we'll as much cattle and
swine. Bananas and plantains could
be used as bread when they are graf
ed. Casava may also be utilized.
Many people are laying in a food
supply to- last them for some time;
Many more are contemplating doing
the same. Rich and poor, high and
low, young and old, will suffer from
the effects of the strike.

LAKElAND'S GOLF COURSE
WILL BE ONE OF
CITY'S GREATEST
DRAWING CARDS

Situated as it is in the riches: IN
land county in the State, with its
wealth of beautiful lakes and pine
covered hills, the city of Lakeland
has long realized that in addition to
good roads in Polk county-the most
needed thing for the entertainment
of its northern visitors--is a golf
course.
About year ago, w. F. Hallam &
Co., offered to donate sufficient
ground from their tract of land lying
south of the city to lay out golf
course if funds for that purpose
could be secured by popular sub
|scription. The services of Mr.. ]. S.
Pearson were secured through his
friendship with Mr. Bert E. Belts,
and together, these gentlemen
walked over many hundreds of acres
with the view of securing from the
tract such ground as was best adapt
ed for the laying out of the course.
The land finally selected for the
course is land which lies upon the
south shore of Scott lake, conceded
ly one of the most beautiful of the
many lakes in Polk county, and
about five miles south of the city on
the Florida avenue road.
While portions of this tract en-
brace some of the most choice land
in Mr.. Hallam's entire tract, he very
generously and without hesitation,
conveyed to the Lakeland Golf Asso-
citation the entire acreage required
for the golf course. The land used
in the course-comprising Is holes,
with a total length of nearly 5000
yards-begins at the margin of the
lake and runs with a varying alti
l,tude of 25 to 125 feet above the sur
face of the lake over tract of ap-
lproximately 145 acres, finishing the
18th hole by an easy slope to the
lake and club house grounds While
mo attempt has been made to make
this course especially difficult, the
nature Of the ground, combined with
Mr.. Pearson's skill in utilizing the
natural advantages has made this
course which will compare favCrably
with many of the famous courses CT
the North.
There is no doubt whatever that
the building of this golf course at
Lakeland will result in bringing
many more people to Lakeland dur
! ing the winter and prolonging the
! stay of those who have acquired the
habit of visiting Lakeland much be-
yond the duration of their former
visits.
In addition to the members of the
club residing in Lakeland, Barlow,
Winter Haven, Mulberry, Christina,
Brewster, Tiger Bay, Nichols, Pierce,
and practically all the towns in Polk
county, the club has many members
living in Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chi
lcago, New York, Baltimore, Kan
sas City, Omaha, and points in West
Virginia, Ohio, Iowa, Michigan and
Indiana.
Many of these nonresident mem
bers have already expressed their in
tention of spending in Lakeland all
the time they can spare from their
business in the North during the
winter, and the president of the
club has assurances from some OF
those who have heretofore made hur-
ried business trips of one or two
days, that this winter they will ex-
tend the time of this visit to one or
two weeks, and in some cases.
months.

The date for the chrysanthemun

with the date of the national cleo
ton. The exhibits of the flowers will
be made in the vacant building on La

An admission of 1Oc will be charged
for the show, but refreshments will
be served through the day without
charge. The show will open at 1875
o'clock Friday morning, and close at
10 o'clock at night.
Magnificent flowers have been ar
ranged by the members of the club for
the show, and it is believed that it will
prove one of the delightful features or
this section of the state. The adjoin-
ing cities are especially invited to at
tend the show, and begin the move
ment in stimulating interest in the
raising of chrysanthemums.
The judges of the show will be an
nounced later. A large premium list
has been arranged.

SOME MORE FACTS
WITH ". & 4. STORY

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 31.-In re-
Spouse to question as to the present
attitude of the Hillyer syndicate in
respect to the proposed extension of
the Western and Atlantic railroad, Will
liam Hurd Hillyer said today that, ow-
ing to the failure of the governor to
call a special session of the legisla-
ture for the purpose of providing nee
essary bonds for financing the extern
sion and owing to the short time al
lowed in which to prepare the detail
ed specifications required by the COM
mission also, he did not see how it
would be possible for his syndicate or
any other responsible interests to make
bid for the extension of the road on
December 5th.
THE state has tied her own hands
and our hands as WE'LL" declared Mr..
Hillyer Our tentative proposal was
based on the assumption that the West
ern & Atlantic leasing commission
would be provided with funds or with
credits with which to extend the roac;
otherwise the whole extension project
is nullified and the state is restricted
tC one possible bidder for the present
road-namely the present lessees. No
responsible party is going to put into a
| firm bid involving millions of dollars
and then have to wait two years with
cut knowing whether the bid is accept
ed or not, he being bound in the
meanwhile and the state not bound.
1--WE have been approached by other
and this section are expected to attend
interests who are working towards a
consolidation of lines north of Chat
tanooga and into Chicago. Should the
Western & Atlantic extension project
have materialized, there could, doubt
less, have been harmony of interests
between the state road as extended and
this proposd Chicago Chattanooga line
which would mean great deal to the
state of Georgia. Newspaper reports,
however, to the effect that there is any
financial connection between our syndi-
cate and the interests working north of
Chattanooga are erroneous and unau-
thorized,"
