We noticed in an ex- change that attempts were being made to restore that status by two or three members of Congress in co- operation with certain newspapers, and as it was news of more than or- dinary interest we reproduced the item prefaced by a few pe rtinent re- marks which we emphatically affirm were not intended to commit the Telegram to the proposed change. On the contrary, we purposcly avoid- ed doing so, any we assure the Jour- nal that we have no “‘personal inter- est” whatever to “blind” us in the matter. | If the editor of the Journal will note carefully what we said, he will fail to discover any endorsement of the proposcd movement to rvs(nrv‘j the former status, our purpose being highest and best bidder for cash in' merely to summarize very briefly in a few sentences the basis upon which ! that movement rests. “Old thim:sI have passed away and all things are| made new,” and with that good; sceriptural warrant, true sometimes in secular as in spiritual affairs, we neither expect nor desire to return to the /lavs of rebates and free pass- es, although as we said in the first article, the latter didn't enslave the honest editor mor restrain his just eriticism of the railroad exchanging it for advertising. CEMERE P POLK COUNTY GRAPE- FRUIT LEADS We note with pleasure that Mr. E. W. Barber, one of the owners of that sterling paper, the Jackson (Mich.) Patriot, is again in Polk county at his winter home at Crooked Lake and is writing letters back to the Patriot telling about South Florida as he sees it and knows it, From his latest one we take the following “The Excelsior variety of grape- fruit, which originated in Polk eounty, grown in this land of lakes and sunshine, reccived a gold med- al, the highest prize awarded, at the Pan-American exposition, and has obtained many other prizes at the national and different sections of this country. Indeed, Polk county ranks first among the producing dgections of this popular fruit in the world. It sent to market in 1911-12 one- fourth of the total shipments, of Florida grapefruit during that crop year, and as high as five thousand dollars was paig to the grower for the produce of five acres, the pur- chaser taking the fruit on the trees.
