FLORIDA COMPANY ORGANIZED T0 DRILL FOR OIL in AR It has long been surmised that there is oil in Ilorida, and several people have given it as a matter not of surmise but of fact, that it is here, but until now the proposition has not been backed by people determined to prove it. For the past several months Mr. F. G. Popeney, formerly of Titusville, Pa., the cradle of the oil industry, who has devoted his whole life to the oil business, drilling wells in Pennsylvania, Qhjo, West Virginia, Oklahoma and. , Colorado, has been looking the. field. over and saifting the data and evidences offered. From the most fgeliable.information at hand he 18 convinced there is oil in this sec- tion of Florida. Mr. Popeney then called Mr. W. H. Anderson, also from the Pennsylvania oil fields, and a life long oil man, who after making three separate trips to this section, —— yhen the votes were counted he waufnow confirms Mr. Popeney’s opinion. They are voting on the ‘‘wet” or “dry” proposition over in Dade coun- ty today, and the erstwhile, beaming features of the cheerful Miami bar- tender are ‘“sicklied o're with the pale cast of thought” for he's due tol lose his job if the numbers don't show up right in the boxes. P, S The administration has asked the, nations of Europe to take no decisive step in Mexican relations until it formulates a policy to determine its| own attitude toward that unhappyi country. We are all now so accus-' tomed to see President Wilson do the right thing that even in this puz-| zling affair no one doubts that he widl drive straight to the core of the, subject and announce a wise policy, ! whether it pleases Usurper Huerta or not. ; S S It may be a little early but it is well enough to remember, as the Gainesville Sun tells us, that if you want to vote under the new primary law next June you will have to regis- ter and pay your poll tax for the past two vears. You will also be required at the time of recistration to desiz- nate the political party to which you belong, and when you go to vote vou will be “iven a ticket containing the names of the candidates of that par- ° ticular political party, the ticket of each political organization being printed on paper of different color. Sl At any rate, the Japs are not like-| ly to invade Florida this side of Nov.' 21, the date set by Governor 'l‘x'un\»‘ mell when the able-bodied male citi- zens of Flovida are requested to go out and work the roads. At.least un- til then tie State press, hoth pro and anti-Japanese scare, ought to unite in the work of crcating and arousing public sentiment to the enid that our| State good roads working day may be a biz success and not suffer by comparison with what they did on a similar occasion in Missouri and Ar- kansas. | 0- Two days ago there were young, men all over the country who looked with envy upon Charley Gates who recently inherited his father’s mil-| llons and went in for a-good time and was apparently having it. But Char-, ley dropped dead in a railroad depot‘ out in Wyoming a few hours ago,| and now those young men who en-! vied him and wondered why fortune, ! fate or providence should be so un- fair in the distribution of favors in this world, can apply their intellects to Charley’s end of the proposition and wonder why he should have been 80 ruthlessly drazged away from all the good things of life just when he was most enjoying them and they, were spread before him in unlimited ; profusion. What's the answer We don’t know, but the sudden death of young Gates ought at least to sug- gest that the inequalities of life we protest against are perhaps magnified | by the selfishness of our personal point of view and they would not ap- pear so marked if we looked at them from all around the circle. PSS No Southern public man during the same length of service has broucht himself into more honorable and useful prominence than Senator Duncan U. Fletcher of this State. He carries the weizht and influence of & genuine statesman in Washington, wise in counsel, strong in debate, and he has a personality to give added emphasis to his public service. He is far beyond the calibre of the mere successful politician and he has giv- en distingvished service outside his purely senatorial duties to the cause of Southern advancement in some very important directions. We note with much pleasure that he has just been re-elected as president of the Southern Commercial Congress, that .big, virile organization before which ‘President Wilson spoke the other day fn Mobile and which is a permanent and growing factor in the material uplift of the South. Some men shrivel in great places, some are hopelessly commonplace, but some feadily grow with Increasing serv-) fee;yntil they become public servants of the first class. Among the latter Sénator Fletcher: is a conspicuous in- Y ¢ moved to conclude either that his’ friends had mighty poor judgment or were the most cheerful liars on earth. An excellent way for a candidate for office to bump into big disappoint- ment is to rely too much on what “my friends tell me.” And they are already telling it in Florida, we no- tice, although they probably know no more about it than anybody else. The truth is that the people of Flor- 'ida take very little interest in the aspirations of candidates, and it's a heart-breaking, up-hill job to pump any enthusiasm into them on the sub- ject. And it is the same all over the country. Too many elections, Ithe hard grind of a complex modern life and the departure of primiti ¢ notions probably account for it. o There is no better sign of the times in Florida than the fact that so many Californians are buying land in this State. They are coming in increas- ing numbers and there is no doubt about it, for the news items in the Florida papers give names and dates. Welcome to all such, for these Cali- forniang are the greatest experts on earth in the scicnce of citrus farm ing, effective co-overation and mar- %eting the crops to the best advan- taze. A few years hence Californians 1 be in Sonth Florida and California will love us even less than she docs now. numerous OCTOBER 30 IN HISTORY 1804—The French surrendered the town of San Domin2o to the English. 1822 The Caladonian cana, unit- ing the British sea with the Atlantie ocean, opened. 1S40-—Tarthquake at Zante demol- ished 240 houses and injured nearly all the others on the island. 1870—Prugsians attack Dijon and, after a bombardment, enter the town. | 1874—Kullman sentenced to four years' imprisonment for attempting to afsassinate Bismarck. 1899—The British entrapped and defeated near Ladysmith in the Boer war. 1900—Census bureau announced the population of the United States. 1904-—Russian and Japanese trenches at Mukden only 400 yards apart, and general battle expected hourly. 1912—The dreadnought New York was launched at Brooklyn navy yard.

The company is cap- italized at $25,000, divided into $10 shares. While in California Mr. Popeney witnessed the coming in of the Lake- view Gusher, which produced 50,000 barrels per day. There are numer: |ous wellg producing 10,000 to 25,000 . barrels per Wday, but it would only take a well producing 100 barrels per !day to set Florida wild and turn such a tide of emigration to Florida as has ’nc\'er been witnessed before, and that {would only be a starter.
