Thus the retention {of these vast sums of money within the state for use in bullding up our agricultural, commercial and indus- trial institutions will become a bless- ing and save the necessity of bor- | rowing millions for our business and thug enriching others needlessly.

When we consider the mementous importance of the matters discussed herein and their relation to the | welfare of our state and the soutn as well, the conclusion is irresistible that the south is the best country :in America for the agriculturist, the i fruit grower, the truck farmer, the ' live stock grower, the investor, the manufacturer, and, above all, for the laboring man endowed with lofty | aims and who has the ambition ant |} the energy to succeed in the strug- gles of life.

In Florida the opportunity to}- achieve these ends and enjoy these blessings is open to every man in ali | the walks of life, as in no other state; he has the vantage of the finest climate in America and soils unsurpassed if he be an agricultur- ist, or Jive stock grower, an artisan, a manufacturer, a laboring man, or s whether engaged in any professiou, | g industry or pursuit, where the in- fluence of climate adds to the com- fort and happiness of the individual as well as the success of the indus- try.
