We doubt if any sec- tion of the United States can show a more rapid and substantia] increase in wealth. S e S When Marsha!l was notfiied that he had been nominated as candidate for vice president, he merely said: “well, I declarc!’ Most any of us would under the same circumstances. Gl et oy Miami is fearful that its “skyline will be disfigured” by tall buildings.

The Miami ministe take issue with the “Bible Students’ Associa- tion,” which, by resolution, recently, “abolished hell,” and in strong ser- nmons last Sunday they put the unde- sirable place back on the map.

Pios did not nominate Mr. Taft be- loved him, but because no other course at the ime and they would carry out his wmvowed inten- tion of bolting. There are exceptions had no idea the colonel the city of Lak land is to a!l rules and the colonel put one over on them when he remained adrast to what he said he would do, 5 go convention the Republican leaders have been con- vinced beyond a doubt that Woeodrow Wil-on will sweep the country unless something can be done to unite the two factions of the Republican party, and recent telegraphic news shows that they are reading the handwrit- ing on the wall and will ask Presi- dent Taft to withdraw from the race. Should he consent to comply with teeir request a similar one will be rade to Colonel Roosevelt, What will be the ultimate outcome of the scheme no one can tell, The colonel may take it to mean Lis strength is developing and will re- frse to withdraw, or he may have more practical judgment than the world gives him credit of possessing and will agree to a progressive man as a standard-bearer for the united Republican party. But his refusal to withdraw at the convention to give Hadley a chance does not give any as- surance that he has lost any of his ambition to again become president. In the meantime there is nothing to cause the Democrats any concern about the outcome of the campaign which is already on. The proposition for President Taft to withdraw only tends to show the weakness of the rarty and the independent vote wili surely forsauke that party for the Democratic one which bristles with progressiveism. - Pensacola Journal.

Like the birds of passage when the chilling winds begin to form the ice and bring the snows to the more northern climes, a steady stream of humanity begins to move down on Florida to remain till the warm sunshine of spring melts the snows and again brings warmth, when they return home for the sum- mer. Strange, that though having the oldest settlement and the earliest his- tory after the discovery by the white man of this country, that Florida should be among the very last to be developed by the progi ive com- mercial spirit of the Twentieth cen- tury. There is no doubt now that this spirit is thoroughly abroad in the State from Jacksonville, the Queen City and gateway from the north, to Key West in the Southern sea and from Fernandina and St. Augustine on the Atlantic coast, to Pensacola and Tampa on the Gult coast, devel- erywhere, Thousands of acres ol Jands ar being sold to new citizens in cvery part of the big State, pine L Lt - mock, muck and even the Fy wles, about which =0 much has | of late, and which causcd a con gressional investization, are beine with harvests of golden citrus truits and other traits and vegetables which bringing wealth to the owners 1t is said that Florvida lands produce wore money to the acre than those | of any other State in the Union Iu every county and in community in the State out door crops will tlwourish in ¢ve the year. almost every ¥ month of It is probable that more Kinds o1 rruits, vegetables aiad tood crops o1 all varieties can be arown in Florida than any other seo- tion or State in the entire Unite States, New fruits and other pro- ducts are being constantiy added to the list that can bo grown in Florida, but which hg been tried before The State i svich in its annua suceesstully SUCCess| duction of its great citrus orop 1,000,000 10 6,000,000 boves of oranges, rich grapetruit and Jdoh tangerines.
