Florida Press Opinion
Who Held the Silver Platter?
Jacksonville Metropolis)

Jacksonville MetropoliS)
Jacksonville has an opportunity presented her
a silver platter. The Centennial Exposition it is
believed be brought here Jacksonville is the
logical place There is question about that
part. The exposition will push Jacksonville at least
twenty years That is the experience of
other cities that have staged expostions of this
character.
Is 1t worth while have this city showed forward
q quarter of century?
Is worth while have hundreds OF thousands
Of people to this city to spend from few days
to months during the life of the exposition!
1t worth while to have the city undergo an Inn
mediate of increased prosperity due to the
building the exposition?
Is it worth while to have ten dollars, at least,
spent here by exposition visitors for dollar put
into the Centennial?
Is it worth while to have hundreds and thousands
of columns advertising devoted Jacksonville in
every paper magazine in the country?
Is it worth while bring thousands of permanent
settlers to Florida?
These are some of the questions Jacksonville
ing reasoning business men-should ask themselves.
II these things worth while. then every busi-
ness man who thinks should out for tonights
meeting. And every man should pledge himself TO
give his best support efforts making the Cen
ltennial success.
Think it over. Reason it out. Then come out TO
the Chamber of Commerce tonight to add weight to
the meeting. 1t is worth while

out when they came in a coffin with

Frank Carroll, in his beaver hat and
red neck-tie was a good undertaken
for the Jacksonville funeral, and ex-
cept for the brilliant decorations was
sober enough to be one.
John Frenkel made a number of hits
both with the men and with the ladies,
but he has several invitations to visit
the State College, presumably to sing
for the girls.

state house after dinner at the Leon
Hotel and invited all the stenogra-
pliers to the dance at the Elks' Club
Pete" told every stenog that she was
the only one he was inviting.
The dance at. the EllSs' Club was a
fine affair. The Tallahassee ladies
came out in force and made a pleas
ant evening of it. The Pensacola dele
cation was present in force.
A. T. Barkdull and a Jacksonville
booster had a merry party at the Leon
Hotel early in the day. The Jackson
vile man had been hanging around
the lobby without any badge and had
been giving misleading directions to
Pensacola ladies. He was given both
implicit and explicit rules for conduct
and left the hotel in a hurry.
Col. w. A. Rawis had numerous
spirited discussions with Jacksonville
delegates and told them where to get
off. The Colonel is a strong Pensa-
cola man and he was accorded en-
thusiastic support.
