U.DC COMNTION AT RICHMOND. Richmond, Va,, Nov. 7.—Hun- dreds of delegates to the national convention of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, which opens to- night, poured into the old capite. today. The race for the presidency-gener- al assumed intense activity, Mrs. Virginia Faulkner McSherry is to retire and so far four candidates have openly entered the race, Mrs. Alexander B. White, of Paris, Tenn.; Mrs, James Britton Gnatt, of Jeffer- son City; Mo.; Mrs. J. ¢, Hallibur- ton, of Little Rock, Ark., and Mrs. Livingston Rowe Schuyler, of New York. An element of discord has been injected into the ruce because of the Low, Herbert Lane, the fact that Mrs, Schmyler resides in New York, a state outside the old Confederacy. Her friends insist that such & view is as narrow as it is uncharitable and point to the fact that New York has today 575,000 people who hail from the South— twice as large a southern population as any Southern city. The New York chapter they state, is among the largest and most influential in the organization. Mrs. Schuyler is a native of Florida.

HE LAKELAND EVENING TELEGRAM NO7 | MILES OF FINE ROAD Being Bmlt Through Lands of Florida-Lake- land Homes Co. Practical of the new order of things in the Florida demonstration land colonization business is the being made by Florida-Lakeland Homes Company, which has entered into a contract with R. M. Hughes, lifteen miles its of Bartow, calling for of thirty-foot roadway throusgh Lakeland-Auburndale tract. l Mr. Hughes has had his teams, machinery and gangs of men at work on the company's land northeast and cast of Lake Parker for several days and has alveady cleared the right of way throngh the company’s land for tive miles, 1t is the purpose of the Lakelaud Homes company to first open up a “trunk line” or “main stem’ road from the southwestern corner of the Lakeland-Auburndale Tracy straight north to Section 21, in the vicinity of Thomasville, from which the road will bear in a gen- erally easterly direction to Lehman Florida Lodge, the company’s demonstration farm in the exact center of the tract, The “trunk line'" road will con- tinue in an easterly direction to the big grove the company's directors are putting in, from which it will turn south, paralleling the highway which skirts the western side of Lakes Juliana, Arietta and Ariana into Auburndale. There will be branch lines to the Gapway between Lakes Juliana and Arietta, where the club house of the Interlachen Country Club of Flor- ida is to be built, and other *‘feed- ers” will be opened as soon as prac- ticable, Although the first of the road building operations directed by Mr. tHhaghes will consist in opening the way only, this will be followed in due time by ditching and grading and before the company gets throngh with its enterprise it will have fif- teen miles of clay roads which will represent an investment of some $20,000,00, It is possible that the hoard of county commissioners will lend its aid in this improvement and the company will gladly accept fit, but, for the present, at least, the company is proceeding on its own resources, The vitrified brick road which will be built from Lakeland to Aub- urndale, if the present agitation for a new road district reaches a success- ful conclusion will, according to pres- le built along a portion of the company's road in the Combie settlement and this combination will give settlers in this portion of the country an excellent opportunity to get their products to market. One of the slogans of the Florida- Lakeland Homes Company is “trans- produc- tion,”” and it believes that good roads are one of the firit necessities of the Florida settlers. The work will be done under the supervision of the company’s engineer, Mr. . F. Brush. MAINE REMAINS DRY. Augusta, Me., Nov. 7.—Maine ie- tains constitutional prohibition.
