The big northern papers give more
attention to Florida than to any
other Southern State when they talk
about development and general pro-
gressiyeness in this section The
record breaking tourist season this
winter is attracting national atten-
tion, and talking of tourists natur-
ally leads to discussion of other fea-
lures and phases of the wonderful
peninsular State now fairly coming
into her own. From a leading arti-
Gle on Florida in the Cincinnati En-
quirer of late date we take the fol-
lowing as representative of the gen.
eral attitude of the Northern press:
Automobiles by the thousands
from the States to the North of the
peninsula are carrying their full ca
pacity of tourists over the splendid
roads which the State now possesses,
while boats are laden with passen-
gers and houseboats, cruisers and
other motor traversing every nook
and corner of the States beautiful
and delightful waterways. Real es-
tate dealers report numerous sales
of lands to actual settlers, and the
entire business atmosphere of the
State is now that of the bristling
busy North and West and East.
There is not a trace of the man
ana" of the Spaniards left now in
Florida, and there is not State in
the Union that can show for this
present decade such a large percen-
tage of gain in population as can the
State of flowers, which Ponce de
Leon made known to the world "

Our Florida oil boom which we
have recently launched is meeting
with encouragement right from the
start. A dispatch to the Pensacola
journal of Monday, from a small
turpentine village in West Florida
three miles north of Southport on
the Gulf, carries this significant
news:
While digging a posthole at this
place one of the laborers, in lighting
cigarette, threw the lighted match
into the hole, and a flame issued
from the opening. From this there
was some oil talk, which brought to
light the fact that there has been a
geologist on the field for a long
while in the person of Capt Milton,
who has been trying to locate vast
lake of oil that he declares exists
somewhere in this section of the
country He seems to know his bust
ness, and together with his data and
the natural indications, there has
been aroused sufficient interest to
form stock company All the shares

THEY TALKED WORSE ABOUT
GEORGE WASHINGTON

AS the presidential campaign
draws near the criticism of President
Wilson by his political enemies
grows in bitterness and intensity,
and after he is nominated at ST.
Louis and the great quadrennial ma
tional mud-slinging is under full
Roadway. he will be abused and lied
on with a ferocity compared with
which present criticism is mild. And
all because of the very bigness which
makes him loom as the foremost
American of his day, and because of
the extreme probability that he will
be reelected.
The American people always treat
their greatest men in this way when
their Greatness lands them in the
White House, and there is no more
conspicuous instance of it than
George Washington himself. We
think Of him now as beyond criticism
and all men of all parties, and the
whole world as we'll, reveres his
memory as one of the very few su-
perlatively great in human history
And vet here is the way they talked
about him while he was president of
the United States:

SENSATIONAL ATTEMPT AT
SUICIDE ON THE STREET

Jacksonville, Feb. 9.-Tired of
living and wishing to call an end to
his time, young white man, giving
his name as Frank E. Calhoun, of
Koscusco, Miss, attempted to take
his own life by shooting himself
through the left lung just above the
heart about 10:45 "a m. yesterday,
while standing on the sidewalk near
the corner of West Adams and Broad
streets.
Inc young man mad just purchased
a cheap 32-caliber pistol at a Broad
street store and set about in a bust
ness-like way, it is said, to kill him
self. The act took place while many
pedestrians were passing on the
street He was rushed Immediately
to the St. Luke's hospital in the Co
nant ambulance, where medical at
tention was given in an attempt to
save his life. According to the at
tending physicians it wa thought
that the youn2i man had but small
chance to recover. The bullet en-
tered just above the heart and passed
entirely through the body.
The victim is said to have been
recently in the employ of the Edge
wood Dairy as driver, although
other than to give his name he re-
fused to talk after being shot, or to
verify the place where he is thought
to have been employed.
Letters found upon his person
clearly disclose his intention of sui
eide and gave notice to his mother,
Mrs. T. T. Land, of Koscuisko,
Miss, to take charge of his body.
