That new railroad to be built across South Florida connecting the Atlantic Ocean with the Gulf of Mexico by a short line from Miami to Fort Myers- is not to pass through a dreary region of far_spreading marshes as is generally supposed. The Ocala Star says, concerning it: “Engineers who have been over the route say the idea that the road will run mostly through marshes is an error. If such wag the case, they woulda't try to build it. Most of the line will be over good land, which the road will open to settlers.” Toe Freaing Telegram Published every afternoon from The Telegram Puilding, Lakeland, Fla.

British pluck and endurance and the spiritual as well as material forces of the nation were never so taxed before, and those people who have been insisting that wealth and luxury and idleness of the better classes and the hopeless poverty of the poor crowded in squalid quarters have deteriorated the British type of manhood can now see if they were right or wrong and it England is in decline. There are certainly no signs of it in sight nor the slightest symptoms of a weakening spirit under the fear_ ful strain. It is to be a fight to a finish without truce or compromise, and here is what Mr. Asquith, the British prime minister, said the other day in the House of Commons, as notice to all the werld: “Just now we are in the stress and tumult of a tempest which is shaking the foundations of the earth. The time to talk of peace is when the great tasks in which we and our al. }ies embarked on the long and stormy voyage are within sight of accom- plishment.
