We See Florida
(By @. G. Johnstonl

In my first article l commented on
the big things in Florida. | will now
speak of the state highways In cen
tral and south Florida, except the eX-
treme south end of the state there is
a complete network of state highways
as fine as can be built. One can 80
anywhere on roads as smooth as our
best sidewalks, some asphalt, concrete
and some as fine gravel as can be
found All state and federal roads are
60 10 so feet wide and heard no COM
plaints of the width or the number of
them and they are still making more
and tearing up worn out roads ana
building them anew. The idea of 30
foot highways as is being clamOred for
in Randolph county is absurd IN the
extreme. And the idea advanced that
the peoples lands are being taken away
from them by individuals or officials
without law or gospel is preposterous.
The state laws require that not less
than 30 feet shall be a state highway
and every one knows or should know
that the Federal Government will not
appropriate federal aid on less than
go foot right of way and who knows
better than the Government as 1t is IN
the highway building on big scale
Everybody knows that good Highways
are the developers Of the country, just
as II has and is doing in Florida. Jusi
as the railroads have been the develop
ers Of the great country of ours, 1t was
absolutely necessary for the govern
ment to enact such laws as was neccs
sary to acquire right Of way to trans
pOrtatiOn companies, else we would b'

our marks behind-like sticking your
finger in the deep blue sea, taking it
out and looking for the hole. This is
not a part of this article but / throw
it in for good measure and will add
more in the conclusion and show you
what Arkansas really is.
l have already said that the pro-
ductiveness of western Florida is much
ahead Of the eastern cities. l have
tried to describe the beauty, grandeur
and sublimity of central and southern
Florida but my descriptive abilities
entirely fail me. II can't be done.
We will take view of the great coast
highway drive from Miami to Jackson
ville-the greatest, the most beautiful
and most charming driveway in the
world so far as | know. The splendid,
charming cities such as Miami, Coral
Gables, Palm Beach, Ft. Pierce. Jack
s0nville and the historic old city, st.
Augustine, with that historic Spanish
fort in its majestic grandeur, simply
awes us into reverence. Its massive
wall and parapets, its towers and look
outs, its cells and dungeons, its chapels
and courts, and to hear them all ex-
DidlHcu inNplltS uS ~ thtdltA thAhScf
and we are made to wonder how they,
in that early day with the meager ad-
vantages, went over ON those islands
and quarried those massive stones and
erected such a wonderful structure. 1t
is worth anyOne's time and expense to
go and see for yourself.
Florida is rich mans country and
not the poor mans, as l see it, 1t is
not a productive country of the staff
of life but has the luxuries and the
best climate in the world. The won
derful scenery, the wonderful beaches,
and the eternal blooming flowers will
not satisfy the longings of an empty
stomach. A non-producing country of
the staff of life is not the place for the
poor man. If he is in country that
produces all the staples of life and has
any energy and industry and will econ
amize, there is no reason for his being
hungry or his need begging bread.
Many are now predicting that Flor
ida viii collapse but l do not think so.
Pocahontas star herald., 1926-04-08

But hundreds Of thousands of the poor
and of moderate means will collapse
and lose all by unwise investments
they can never pay out. Some have
already run their race. Many thou
sands will do likewise in the next two
or three years or earlier. The boom
is waning now but FlOridans say il
viii revive again when spring opens
up. But it can never reach the peak
it reached this year because lands
reached such extreme high prices and
so much higher than nOn-producing
soils are worth real estate is compelled
to seek its level and the sooner 1t does
the better for the state.
No. this vast wealth that has flowed
into sunny Florida from the north md
west is there to stay and when this
spasmodic boom has subsidized and eb-
bed back to even-tide then others OF
means will come in and take up where
those unfortunate ones left off and the
progress go right on and Florida in a
few years will become the playground
of this great country and the east and
west shore of the peninsula will be-
come practically solid city from end
to end, and will quadruple in pOpula-
tion in a few fleeting years. As it
now is, the poorer classes had better
stick to their bush. l think young
men of business capacities or some
professionals of the higher class might
60 now and get started by shrewd bust
ness methods, but laborers, mechanics,
carpenters, etc, had better stay out
as the country is Overrun and many
will be forced to leave, so / would ad-
wise that those who contemplate going
had better stay away for two or three
years until things get normal. The

Neglected coughs often lead to worse
trouble. Yet there is simple method
based on the famous DIR. Kings New
Discovery, which usually breaks the
worst cough entirely in "a hours.
Here is the method: You take Just
one teaspoonful and hold it in your
throat for is or 20 seconds before swal-
lowing it. II has double action. It
not only soothes and heals irritation,
but also removes the phlegm and con-
gestion which are the real cause of the
coughing. So the most stubborn cough
soon disappears completely.
DR.. Kings New Discovery is for
coughs, chest colds, bronchitis, spas

to neighboring powers, and the good
wishes of all liberty loving people
went to the Poles as they resumed
once again their efforts to achieve
self.government.
It probably was too much to expect
that there would be no errors, no back
ward steps, before a stable govern
ment was established. Other Euro
pean nations, with more recent expe-
rience in the art of government, have
had difficulty since the upheaval of
the World War in finding formulas OF
legislation and administration adapted
to their postwar needs. and the Witos
government Of Poland is not the first
to fall before a show of armed
strength.
It is to be hoped there soon will be
established at Warsaw a government
with strength sufficient to restore or
der and to maintain itself in power
until it's successor is called into be-
ing through the orderly processes Of
the ballot. Both political and eco
nomic considerations call for strong

The Toll Gate Passes.

From the Lynchbure Advance
The death knell of the toll gate in
Augusta County has been sounded by
the board of supervisors. On Novem-
ber l this ancient system of collecting
revenue with which to both build and
maintain good roads will go out Of
existence.
There is some opposition to the nc.
tion of the supervisors in approving
the recommendation of the county
finance committee that the toll gate
should be abolished. Farmers living
on dirt roads are said to feel that the
toll gate benefits them and with it's
removal they will get no more funds
for their roads.
AS a general rule, toll gates in all
sections OF the United States have
been abolished. Perhaps the Augusta
County gates are the only ones re-
naming in Virginia. They have been
found inadequate to the needs of high
way financing and new and more mod
ern methods of raising revenue have
superseded them.
The gasoline tax Is the new toll
gate. There Is no more popular or
more expedient method of securing
money for highway construction. The
old toll gate served a useful purpose
and no doubt by making use Of it the
Valley of Virginia. today boasts of a
fine network Of improved roads. But
it Is entirely out Of date.
