Memories.

As gusts Of rain blow down some wind
MY memories drift, wraithiiks. back to
me;
Fragile fantastic shapes I scarce can
see,
Yet can remember all Of them and moro !;
These laughing little ghosts Of days Of
yore
Enfold me. hold me. ere they turn to
fee,
And weave a spell Of potent wizardry
To captivate me as they have before.
I can remember how one whispered word
Spoken by lips that seldom formed my
name
Brought Joy to me through many
weary years;
Falling into the heart Of me 1t stirred
And kindled there a symphony OF
flame.
(My heart that else had been en-
gulfed by tears y
I can remember frigid frosty nights.
With flickering stars like candles look
ing down
Into the depths Of one beloved town
Where here and there the good folk
dimmed their lights
And yielded sleep. that tenderest Of
sprites.
Their cares or joys, their bright bits
OF rcnown-
Sleep with her ripping moonbeam
woven gown,
Who softly crept upon them from the
heights.
I can remember flowers whose beauty
burned
My eyes with ecstasy of living fire
A spray of lilacs tossed upon the wind,
Lilies that fingered where the pathway
turned
And waited for me lovingly; spire
OF larkspur by the wall; these come
to mind.
I can remember orchards brimmed with
bloom,
As II to fill tho green CUP Of the spring
With a white nectar. sweet and savor-
Ing
OF honey; even now hear tho boom
OF buzzing humble bees, and the per-
fume
OF burgeoning fruit trees reaches
me to bring
A yearning for the land where hill
tops ring
with a glad speech that robs the world
OF gloom.
1 can remember Joyous childish feet
That romped to meet me at tho close
of day
And see each lowerlike face raised
for kiss;
All poor is he, however much of sweet
Life may have granted in some other
way
II he has kept no memory like this
I can remember days OF toll when song
Died on my lips to live within my
breast.
When night was gracious with Its gift
of rest.
And hours were golden. though tho tasks
were long;
Indeed, such hosts of shining memories
throng
One on another, I will cease my quest
And fold them all away. yet keep the
best
To be my solacs and companion strong
When other thoughts and themes are
laid aside
stil will ono fancy iingcr, as . voice
wakens reverberations clear and
true,
One life, one love shall in my heart
abide.
In one fond memory win rejoice
The mystic, magic memory OF you

FLORIDA TO LEAD IN DATRYING
This viii Not Come, However, With
out Better Stock

The average Florida dairy cow
gives less than one gallon of milk a
day, the year round, if careful esti-
mates are creditable. Then, the nat
ural surmise is that Florida is a
long ways from being the great dairy
state many say she is destined to be.
Not necessarily" says Professor
j. M. Scott, of the Florida Expert
ment Station. THE average milk
yields of a state that has never made
the production of milk business,
cannot be taken as an index as to
what that state can or cannot dc.
There are about three things es-
sential to successful dairying, accord
ing to authorities. Those things
are: Climate; an abundance OF good,
nutritious, easily digested, palata able.
succulent feed; and a good cow
We have the climate, climate un-
excelled. No one can dispute that
claim.
There is no reason why Florida
cannot produce an abundance of all
the feed necessary to maintain
enough cows to produce four times
the milk consumed within the state.
The best pasture grasses will grow
the year round. Then we can grow
for soiling crops, Napier. Sudan,
Merker, Johnson, Para grasses, and
sorghum, and cowpeas and many
other crops. For silage we have
corn, sorghum, japanese cane, sweet
potatoes.
All we need, then, are the cows.
And we are getting them. Less than
a year ago Florida's first sale of
pul ebred dairy calves was held. One
man in Leon County has purchased |
more than $4,000 worth of pure
bred Jerseys within the last twelve
one of the females of that
lot costing over thousand dollars. |
A number of forward-looking men
ire making the breeding and raising |
Of purebred dairy cattle a business
Well have the cows. all right. And |

COMMISSIONER CLARK Is
WORKING FOR CHARLOTTE
Endeayoring to Get Road Department
Men Here to Make Surveys of
Tamiami Trail

While there has been some delay
partment in sending engineers to
Charlotte county to make surveys
and estimates of the cost of State
Road Number Five (the Tamiami
TraiD through Charlotte county, it
appears from letter received few
days ago by Capt. w. H. Johnson
from w. w. Clark, of Wall Springs,
member of the State Road Depart
ment, that this county and its needs
have not been forgotten and that
engineers will be sent just as soon
as possible, a misunderstanding per-
haps, having delayed action.
Along with the letter written to
Capt. Johnson by Mr.. Clark the lat
ter sent copy of a letter he had
written to Chairman Phillips, of the
State Road Department, urging upon
him the necessity of giving ah to
this county Immediately.
That Mr.. Clark is in sympathy
with the aspirations Of this county
and is doing everything in his power
to aid it is shown by these letters
and by previous actions. 1t was Mr..
Clark who caused the Tamiami trail
to be designated as a primary feder-
al-aid road and backed the demands
of the west coast delegation that it
be continued as a state road from
Punta Gorda to Fort Myers, the an
nouncement that he had secured fed
eral aid for this project coming as a
surprise to the delegates who attend
ed the last meeting in Tallahassee, as
they expected nothing more than to
secure the designation OF the road as
a state project from Punta Gorda
to Fort Myers.
The letter from Mr. Clark gave as
surance that he was doing and would
continue to do all he can to advance
this county's interests with the Stale
Road Department.

The elegant steam yacht "Aroos-
took" in which, for many years,
Charles A. Dean, a popular million
aire of Boston, Massachusetts, spent
his winters cruising in neighboring
waters, which has been laid up at
Cleveland since Mr.. Deans death
nearly two years ago, has been sold
and delivered to Theodore Krumn of
Tampa. The price paid is less than
one-third the value of the yacht,
which is given at $3O,00O.0O. The
purchaser may be remembered here
as the owner of the steamship City
of Philadelphia, which visited this
port twice in past years.

Visited Fort Myers Chapter

Four ladies and one gentleman, ac-
cepting an invitation from the local
chapter of the Eastern Star at Fort
Myers, went to that city Wednesday
afternoon, and were royalty enter
tanned until II O'Clock that night.
Those accepting the invitation were:
Captain and Mrs. A. 3. Tucker, who
went in their car. taking with them
Mesdames Henry Quednau and w. r.
DeLoach: and Mrs. Joshua Mizell,
who went and returned by rail. A
notable feature of the trip was the
fact that Captain Tucker made it
with his car over poor roads and
by the long route in two hours and
fifteen minutes in the daytime and
two and a half hours at night.

GILCHRIST CLAIMS THAT
HE WILLSWEEP The STATE
Very Optimistic Report Comes from
His Campaign Headquarters
at Jacksonville

ExGov. A. w. Gilchrist passed
through Jacksonville, Tuesday, re-
turning from rapid fire campaign
in the western part of the state.
From information received he feels
sure he will carry every county west
of the Apalachicola River, except
possibly Franklin, as to which he has
only scattering reports.
OF the counties on the northern
border of Florida Trammell may car
ry Jefferson county. Gilchrist will
carry the remainder, was the declara-
tion he made.
Gov. Gilchrist said that of the
counties lying along the Atlantic
coast, Trammell may carry possibly
one county and that Gilchrist would
win in the remainder. He added of
the counties of Escambia, Jackson,
Duval, Marion, Alachua, Palm Beach,
Dade, Monroe, Polk and Hillsboro.
Trammel may carry Polk and posi-
bly, one other county. The former
governor confidently stated he would
be victorious in the remaining larger
counties.
Gov. Gilchrist concluded his brief
statement to the effect that he cleo
ion would not be a.tdal wave. The
election, he said, would be a mon
soon. sweeping almost everything be-
fore it. in the interest of Albert w.
the next United States
senator from Florida.

co. commissioners MAKE
UP THE PRIMARY BALLOT
Held Special Meeting Tuesday and
Passed on Qualifications of
Candidates

Pursuant to adjournment, the
county commissioners met in special
session Tuesday, all the mem bers be-
ing present.
After the minutes of previous
meetings had been read and approx
ed, Mr.. Whitten introduced the fol-
lowing resolution, which did not get
a second:
Whereas, all members of this
board hold office by appointment
from the governor none having been
elected by vote of the people; and
Whereas, matters of vital inter
est to Charlotte county are now under
consideration and before the first OF
January, next, irreparable injury to
the prosperity of the county may be
caused by the action by members of
this board who do not represent the
wishes of the people of their respec-
tive districts; and
Whereas, at the coming primary,
June sixth, the voters of the county
will for the first time have an op-
portunity to express their choice as
to who shall represent them on this
board;
Therefore, in order that the peo-
pie may rule, be it resolved that all
members of the present board who
are not endorsed at the June pri-
mary to succeed themselves will inn
mediately resign in favor of the
nominees named at said primary"
1t appearing that only two men,
bers of the board, Messrs. Whitten
and Windham, had opposition. the
other three members felt a delicacy
in acting on the resolution, taking
the position that it should be a mat
ter of agreement between the two
whose seats were contested. 1t is
not known whether or not they have
reached any such agreement.
The special object of the meeting
was then taken up, and the clerk
read the list of candidates for all
state and county offices who had duly
qualified to run in the primary. The
county attorney was called in, ex-
amined the qualification papers in
the case of each candidate and pro-
nounced them in due form and in
accordance with the law; whereupon,
the names of all of them were order
ed placed upon the ballot.
During the examination of the
qualification papers, 1t developed
that w. E. Bell, candidate for school
uperintendent, had paid $4,000 as
his fling fee, and that his competi-
tor, R. Y. Walden, had paid only |
$4,000 as his fee; whereupon, Mr.. |
Whitten moved that $4,000 be re-
funded to Mr.. Bell. The latter re-
fused to accept any refund.
AS to any refund to candidates of |
surplus money left over from the ex-
penses of the primary election, the
boards attorney stated that he had
examined he law and found
nothing in it authorizing such re-
fund, nor was anything said in the
law as to what disposition should be
made of the money.
j. H. McQuaid, a former commits
sioner asked the board to give him
cash for a time warrant issued to
him for his services when serving as
and he was assured
that the board would grant his re-
quest at the next regular meeting on
Monday. June 5th, to which date the
board adjourned.

ROAD ROUTE WILL
 NOT BE CHANGED
Delegation Asks Board to Make Change in EnsIey
 Highway

Decision to stick to the route for tho road through Ensley via Docena, through Mulga and Edgewater to Vivian originally agreed upon in it's tentative program, was made by the board of revenue at q meeting yester- day afternoon with a delegation of citizens from the territory to be traversed by the road.
 Approximately 12 miles of high way is involved in the program at an estimated construction cost of about s2so,0 900. A delegation of cit izens from Wyiam. Ensley and other points on the proposed road appear ed before the board, headed by Prof. Thomas R. Walker and discussed the proposition.
 The delegation apparently was split. some of the members wanting the road over the route originally selected by tn eboard while others desired change to be made so as to run via McDonald's chapel 10 Mulga and Wylam. After hearing both sides the board decided to stick to it's original routing. According to board members this will enable the county to build a bituminous top on a reconstructe ed base, using the road now in ex- istence while to go to McDonald's s chapel would necessitate construc- ton of an entirely new road.
