Dear friends, there may be
crooks and wire-tappers and pho
ny race-track operators, and 9TH
ers id omne genus in Lakeland,
and all over Florida; but neither
among such operators nor among
the foolish people who fall for
their games will you find any of
our gentle, unsophisticated Crack
ers. In every case that has come
to light, victims and victimizers
are found to be from the North,
where they're up to things. Ii
honest tourist folks will confine
their transactions to dealings with
our supplemented Floridians-
people whom they can see are es-
tablished here in business or as
resident-they will not be
"stung" so severely as if they mix
up with the adventures from
thei own section, who make Flor.
ida their winter stamping ground.

"Florida leads 'em all in the
character of her newspapers, -
says the Lakeland Telegram. "She
has twenty-four newspapers re-
ceiving Associated Press dispatch
es, while Alabama and Arkansas
have only eleven each and South
Carolina only thirteen. !" This is
a fine showing for Florida and it
is interesting to note that the Tel
egram was the seventh in the state
to take the Associated Press SER
vice. The people Of Florida gets
the news while it is news, and in
point of general excellence the
Florida newspapers are not excell-
ed in any state of the Union

GOOD FUTURE FOR
FLORIDA CAMPHOR
Grows Luxuriantly Almost Every,
where
Should Replace Trade In China
Product, Which Has Been
Declining

Prospect of a good commercial
field for the two large camphor
farms in Florida in replacing the
trade of the China camphOr dis
tricts which has been declining,
and a warning against allowing
the Florida industry to be ruined
by uncontrolled exploitation. is
found in a report by -onsul Albert
w. Pontius, at Foochow, China.
This report on the camphor
trade in the Foochow district was
made to the U. S. Bureau Of For
eign and Domestic Commerce as
follows:
Shipments of camphor from
this port have declined to such an
extent in recent years that there
is every indication that this once
lucrative trade has disappeared
permanently.
tfPrior to 1902, there was prac-
tically no camphor exported.
From that year on, the production
steadily increased, until, in 1907,
the industry produced one of the
leading exports from the port.
Special rights were given to GER
tain foreigners, who were in no
way concerned in the safeguard
ing of the industry for the future,
but were solely interested in the
Immediate profits.
From more than 100000
pounds attained in 1907, the ex-
port trade declined to 10000
pounds during the past year. This
trade has been ruined by uncon-
trolled exploitation. The present
market price of camphor is $40
per picul of 1873 1-3 pounds and
camphor oil, $21 per picul. w

Autocratic Government

Commenting on an editorial par
agraph in the Times Union, in
which that paper shows that the
people do not rule in Florida, ow-
ing to the legislatures continued
and consummate refusal to reap
portion the state, the Punta Gorda
Herald, one Of the best known and
best weeklies in the state, throws
up the sponge as to all popular
government, and says that it is
now inclined to the conclusion
that the best possible form Of gov
eminent is an absolute despotism,
