We told you as much quite recently, you recollect. AR O The Miami Metropolis urges Lake- Jand to rise to her great opportunity and give Vice President Marshall a fine breakfast here on his way to the meeting of the Press Association at Fort Myers. Have no fears. We will feed and water the vice bpresident and minister to his more delicate sensibilities while he is with us in such a way that Lakeland will stick in his memory through all his years to come like the tender, fragrant, succulent appetizing reminis- mence of an experience that sent away above par even the par excel- lence of Southern hospitality. and Some of the brethren object to newspaper candidates for the Legis- lature and urze them to stick to their jobs. What is the point? We don't mpecialize in legislators in this country and have no schools where own, sell. rent, lease, improve and otherwise deal in real estate: to give and take conveyances and mortzages upon real estate, and to do all thi necessary to a real estate busine to issue corporate bonds and to sell and dispose of the same; to own and deal in personal propertv. securities and choses in action: to build and own railroads, tramways, automo- biles and other modes of transporta- tion and convevance in connection with their said business® to contract and be contracted with; to sue and be sued, and to have and use a cor- porate seal. i Article 3 The amount of the capital stock of this corporation shall be three hun- dred thousand — ($300,000.00) dol- lars, to be divided into shares of the par value of one hundred ($100.00) dollars each, and said stock shal] be paid for either in money, or real or personal property, or in labor or services, and when paid for in real or personal property. or labor or services, the same shall be at a just valuation to be fixed by the incor- porators or by the directors, at a meeting called for such purpose.

Capable newspaper men by the nature of their calling onght to and do have exceptional familiar- ity with matters coming up for leg- islative treatment and a good num- ber of them in all our law-making bodies is an excellent ingredient. many examples of editors as lawmakers and that there is an increasing call There are very for these latter days is itself good reas- | on for believing that they are the right kind of material to send to the State capital.

R. A. Gray, of Gadsden county, as as- sistant State auditor to succeed Hon, Henry Curtis, deceased. Mr an ideal man for the place and in the fullest meaning of the definition Gray is he reaches the Jeffersonian standard of fitness. He is yet a young man and has a personality of rare charm, an intel- the first character lect of class, and and sense of duty which have carried him steadily forward over many obstacles a quiet force of and discouragements to the present high and responsible position to which the governor has appointed him As a member of the Leg ture from Gad 1 county he pron nt and forceful, and for some years past he has been a most effi- cient State employe, first in the of- fice of the State treasurer and next as head pension clerk and secretary boarq ir troller's office. He has made at arduous tasks and his promotior is richly deserved. The is fortunate the services of Mr. Gray, and Gov- ernor Trammel couldn’t have found a better man for the place if he had personally sized up every citizen of Florida to find the right one.
