Well, if we can get “them things” free, we'll try to make out, although we would like for 'em to put in a little free grits and molatses in ours. LR I R R . A report has been circulatel by his political enemies that Senator Fletcher had recommended the con- centration of all customs collection districts in Florida under one col- Jector at Jacksonville, thereby dis- criminating against Tampa, Pensa- cola and Key West. It seems to be; a pretty well established fact thai this report was entirely baseless, and, that Mr. Fletcher has shown an im- partial interest in all sections of Ficrida.

Today the industrial devel- opment of the South defies adequate description. We recall the South as it was rearly half a century aco. Fortv| years ago we spent four months in Florida.
