in THE DAYS NEWS

John Walter Smith, who is slated
to be renominated for the United
States Senate by the Democrats of
Maryland today, has been a member
of the upper house of Congress for
twelve years. Born in the town of
Snow Hill, Md, seventy-five years
ago, the future senator was left an
orphan at an e2ly age. Through his
own exertions he has succeeded in
accumulating n large fortune and has
risen to position OF leadership in
the affairs Of his State and nation.
About the time of the close of the
Civil War he engaged in the lumber
business on large scale in Maryland,
Virginia and the Carolinas. Subse-
quently he extended his activities to
! bal king and to various Industrial en-.
! terprises and in the course of time
came to be one of the leading men
of business in his State. His public
career began with hrs election to the
Maryland Senate in 1889. Ten years
later he was elected to Congress, but
resigned his seat after serving one
year to accept election to the Mary
land govrnorship. In 1908 he was
chosen United States senator.

a day IN its activities. There has been
no shut down, no marking of time, no
period of bankruptcy, failure to func-
ton, such as all but very few of Flor
kido's commercial organizations have
experienced. Year by year, backed by
men whose faith in the community
was perhaps their first reason but
who since have given it their support
in appreciation of splendid results,
this organization has not only been
very materially responsible for the
magnificent development of this com
munity but has at the same time won
for itself in the State and in the ma
ton at large name and a position
among similar organizations of
which it may be justly proud. Some
times men talk as if this organiza-
tion and all 1t is and stands for, as
well as all which it accomplishes is
done by few men serving either as
directors or committeeman or in
some other official capacity, forget
ting that there are those "who also

month after month and year after
year have never failed in the prompt
payment Of their dues in spite of the
fact that they were never elected to
any office or had any prominent place
in the affairs of the organization.
They sought nothing of the kind.
They were and are, most of them,
tied up closely by their own business
and unable with justice to both di-
vide their time and efforts with the
details Of this organization, but more
than glad to furnish the sinews OF

SPLENDID RECORD CHAMBER
COMMERCE FOR PAST YEAR AS
SHOWN BY ANNUAL REPORT

The following report made by Sec
retary Holworthy at the annual meet
ing Of the Chamber of Commerce is
so full of interest, we pass it on tt
our readers:
To the Officers and Directors and tC
the Members Generally of tht
Lakeland Chamber of Commerce in
Annual Meeting Assembled:
For the eighth successive year il
is my duty and a privilege | highly
esteem to present to you my annual
report, The years have come and
gone and with them many changes
For the most part these changes have
come about 50 naturally, so quietly
that few, if any, of us really realize
them. Only seven years ago and
Lakeland could boast of neither foot
of brick or sanitary sewerage; only
two or three modern buildings, a
ramshackle railroad station, town
poorly lighted, especially in the bust
hess district; in short, Lakeland was
then nothing but an ordinary, quite
ordinary, southern town in every re-
spect but one, she had magnificent
location and few men and women
as citizens who saw visions and
dreamed dreams; could sense the
splendid opportunity for building up
community that should be just a
little different from the ordinary
town. Nature and natures God en-
dowed this section very lavishly, and
so as with his animate and human
creation Ito whom much Is given
much is required perhaps uncon-
sciously our people have been realiz-
ing the responsibility resting upon
them and as unconsciously have built
better than we knew. Lakeland is a
good town. We know it ourselves, II
we did not have the impartial evidence
of every stranger who sojourns with
us for only just long enough to see
for himself. The material growth OF
Lakeland has not just happened
Communities do not just happen to
grow, unless such growth comes
about through accident or abnormal
conditions, which have certainly had
no place in the development of our
own city The secret, after all, of
Lakeland's splendid growth is the
steady influx of new blood, new ideas,
new money. This is no slur with re-
gard to our own native citizens who
certainly made the first attractive pic
ture with which to allure others to
this favored spot. 1t is the same idea
exactly which explains the successful
growth of certain organizations
which must depend for their very ex-
istence on the steady stream of new
young blood coming in to take the
place of those whose turn has come
to retire to the rest hllets. Since
THIS organization came into real ac,

voice his gratitude to those who hav-
ing been placed in authority, as well
as responsibility have done the best
Lossible with the equipment before
them. And let me say right here that
the results the past year have so far
exceeded those Of any other that there
is no comparison, the reason for this,
very largely, being that the equip
ment has been more adequate. If the
merchant on the street has done more
business he has had more equipment
for the one naturally anticipates and
requires the other.
One fact | wish to emphasize here
and now is the proof that bread cast
upon the waters will return after
many days. While we have conducted
the most vigorous publicity and ad-
vertising campaign in the history of
the community, we have this year
been glad to welcome as settlers a
good many whom we have ben en-
deavoring to interest for several years
asst. 1t is the answer to the system
attic follow up. Also, in former years
our funds allowed osly meager ex-
renditure for advertising and public
ity and we could not appeal as
strongly to the kind of people we de-
sired to interest. Day after day. right
now, these people are coming in, tell
iLg us they have seen our advertising,
our literature, and that Lakeland
made stronger appeal to them than
any other place they heard from,
which is the reason they are here.
And how satisfying Lakeland Is.
Gentlemen, statistics are dry stuff
as rule and / am not going to bur
den this report or tire you this even
ing with much of it-only enough to
give rough synopsis Of the material
results Of our efforts. 1t is said,
there is nothing succeeds like sue"
cess and I take it that no matter
what our statistics were, II the town
was on the decline, If we were pointed
out by our sister communities as a
dead one, If our members were
ashamed of the organization to which
they belong and had to apologize for
1t to every stranger they met, then
we wouldn't have any statistics, but
our best statistics are the facts that
we have the best town in the state,
that even with the cold deal of the
Federal authorities we have made a
most wonderful increase in our popu-
lation and that since the first day OF
last October we have had 1873 fami-
lies, aggregating about 600 people
pass tas3ugh our Office registering as
settlers, here for the purpose of MAX
ing their home, investing their capi-
tai, raising their families and devel-
oping the productive lands of the
back country which is doing SO much
to develop the town. This increase in
the population has, according to no.
ted statisticians, brought almost a
quarter of a million dollars of new
money to the community and repaid

more who have located here during
