ture he will carry with him the best
wishes of the community for his fu-
ture success.

, If railroads are swamped with bus
mess because of the war, it seems to
us they ought to be putting on more
trains instead Of taking any of. UAe
citizens of Lakeland are presenting
an earnest petition to the Railroad
Commission to refuse the railroads
request to be allowed to take off the

To discontinue these trains would be
great inconvenience to the travelling

the Commission will grant the rail-

We said when that gold spell came

prophesied correctly is proven by the

PUBLIC OPINION BACKS
;. COMMITTEE AT MIAMI

In the two meetings held on Sun
day, one exclusively of white people
and the other composed of represen
tative white people and representa-
tive colored people, and the meeting
yesterday of the committees appoint
ed at both meetings, there is solemn
warning that all lawless elements
in Miami, white and colored, Will do
we'll to heed.
Those meetings attended by lead
ing men of this community are de.
termined that nothing shall occur in
Miami that will smirch the fair name
of the city, and, further, that all
citizens shall have the full benefit
Of their legal rights, regardless of
color.
The situation in brief is this:
There has been some considerable
opposition to colored men driving
their own cars in this city, and more
opposition, in some quarters, TO col
ored men being employed as chauf-
feurs.
In It's published statement the CON-
nittee states the rights of the col
ored men quite fairly, and it was
agreed that if the colored people
were protected in their right to own
and drive their own cars, and that
if colored men were guaranteed their
right to act as ohauffeurs for colored
people, only, there would be fur
ther friction
And that is just what the respect
able portion of the white people of
Miami propose to see done. They
will not tolerate any further illegal
and unlamful oppression of tse col
ored man, and they will support and
protect the better elements of the
colored people in maintaining thir
rights, in this regard.
Let there be no mistake about that
proposition. The great majority of
the white people Miami realize the
injustice that has been done and is
attempted to be done to the colored
residents of the city, and they are
going to put an end to it. The re-
spectacle portion of the colored pop
uiation are going to help the better
white element in preventing disor-
der. And there will be no disorder,
except with peril to those who bring
it n.
Public opinion in Miami should
and does insist that justice between
the races shall be maintained. That
same public opinion is arrayed
against any element that will at
tempt to bring on disqord and strife
The best men of the city will back
that public opinion with every means
at their command, and their deter
mination to keep out disorder, OF
any kind, must be respected, and it
will be when it's full force is real
lied
The Herald appeals to every de
cent white man and to every decent
colored man to stand with the com.
nlttee In it's program of keeping this
s,eace, and in securing for the re-
spectacle colored portion of our pop
uiation that justice which is theirs
by every law of the Miami
