CANAL SYSTEM, St
REGISTRATION AND
OTHER MATTERS
DISCUSSED BY
MEMBERSHIP COUNCIL

| The membership council of the
Chamber of Commerce met at lunch
eon at the Colonial Cafe at noon to-
day, and had an interesting discus
sion of matters tending to advance
the citys welfare. The project OF
connecting several of our lakes by
canals, which would open a water
way to the Winter Haven system,
was given first attention, Secretary
Holworthy reporting that he had
gathered information In regard to
the practical phases Of the undertake
ing, and that by the establishment
of a drainage district, under the
Drane drainage law, it is possible to
bring about this great improvement
J within the next few months. The
proposition at present is to connect
Lake Hollingsworth with Banana
Lake, extending the canal thence to
/ Eagle Lake, thus connecting with
the hundred or more miles of water
ways of the Winter Haven system,
and incidentally draining large
areas of land that is subject to over
flow.
Another. matter that claimed the
attention of the council was the reg
istration of voters. and each person
present was, urged to do everythinq
possible to induce a full registration.
impressing upon every potential vot-
err that unless he registers during
this month he will be barred from
voting in any national, State or
county election for the next two
years
A communication from the Thorn

Mr.. Parlin, business expert sent

pany. would visit Lakeland on Mon
day, March 27th, if the business men
desired to hear talk by him. The

IMPORTANCE Of
REGISTRATION URGED
At MEETING OF
GOOD ROADS ASSN

An enthusiastic meeting of the
| Polk County Good Roads Association
was held at Barlow yesterday with a
fairly good attendance from the va
! rious districts.
j. Walker Pope, of Winter Haven,
reporting for a committee of one ap-
pointed at the Eagle Lake meeting,
was on hand with the automobile
banners and card signs calling at
tention to the necessity of prompt
registration on the part of those not
yet registered or who may have
changed their voting precinct. A
large number of cars went out of
Barlow yesterday carrying these
banners which will keep the unreg-
istered reminded from day to day.
Some information with regard to
the proposed bond issue being asked
for by representative in the north
western end of the county. DR.. ]. II.
Ross, of Florence Villa, outlined
some data he had compiled which
was very interesting and instructive.
He showed by sum in simple arith
metic; that Polk county could bond
for a million dollars for good roads
on; thirty year bonds at 5-per cent
set side; $25, 900 annually as sink
ing fund, investing same at s per
cent interest, adding and compound
4, ing the interest annually and that at
the end of the thirty year period
there would be fund of over three
million dollars with which to retire
the one million dollars worth of
! bonds. That he was ready to finance
the proposition on this basis. This
was intended to show the practical
| bility and economy of bonding the
county as proposed. though no such
plan is, of course, contemplated as
outlined by Dr. Ross.
An executive committee was APP
pointed to take entire charge of the
matter of securing the registration
of unregistered voters. This commit
tee of which Secretary Holworthy
was appointed chairman, associated
with Messrs. Jas e. Mears. of Bar
| tow and r. w. Cogsdill, of Winter
| ilavon. will make an active cam
pas II all over the county, securing
the cooperation of good roads t?N
payers and registration officers in
each precinct with the idea of get
| tine 4 touch with each unregistered
voter and getting him to register
promptly.
The active assistance Of every man
| interested in the success of he forth
coming bond issue is urgently re
Guested right now because reTistra-
! ton Of several hundred citizens who
! are nearly all in favor of the bond
issue is most vital. Several of the
busiest and most prominent men in
! the county have volunteered all the
way from one-fourth to two-thrds of
| their entire time from the first of
! April until the day of election in
| connection with the country school
! house campaign and other active
work which will commence as soon
as the time for registration has OK
pired, but right now there is need
for every available man TO work
along the line of securing the reg
! istration of unregistered voters.
J Walker Pope, chairman of the
| finance committee, is sending out
chain letter asking for memberships
and ought to receive a thousand re-
plies, with as many dollars, within a
few days.

HARRIS OPENS
HEADQUARTERS
SELECTS KlMBALL HOUSE AS
PLACE FROM WHICH TO
DIRECT FORCES.

ATLANTA, July Ex-Governor Nat
E. Harris has opened campaign head
quarters i'll the Kimball House and
from this time forward he will devote
all of his leisure time to the race.
He will, of course, be occupied most of
| the time during the session of the leg
islature, but for about six weeks af-
ter it closes and before the primary,
he intends to shell the woods.
1t is the governors intention, when
he does get started, to make as many
campaign speeches as any of his OPP
ponents, thereby disposing once and
| for all of the rumor of feebleness
which his opponents tried to circulate
| for awhile at the start of the race. His
friends expect the campaign to open
up in full strength when the governor
] takes the stump. Those who have
complainedsof a lack of pep in the
gubernatoEhf situation cannot put any
! thing on the governor, say local poll
ticins. His recent speech at States
boro, if one may judge by reports,
is still reverberating over the state
and indicates what the governor will
do when the duties of his office permit
him to make his campaign.
q expect to make as many speeches
as possible" said Governor Harris,

ranged. l never felt better in my
