The Jacksonville Metropolis says
next winter the hotel men of the State
will not be able to claim all of the
credit for attracting the visitors as
the railway officials of the ninny differ routes which lend to this section
of the country have already Inaugu-
rated a plan of advertising which e of Immense value to the State j
Agents of several companies are now
in the State and are gathering lufor matlon which will be used in pamph-
lets and books descriptive of Florida-
Its pleasures and resources Photo- graphs are being collected from every town and resort worthy of mention and Judging from the preparations the approaching season will Pee a greater amount of Florida literature in th hands of travelers than ever before
Not alone will the pleasure ot liv-
ing In the State dining tin wlntir thoroughly handled bm the commer-
cial possibilities of the Stat will lit
carefully considered and described with a view to interesting permanent settlers While a generous amount of advertising has been carried on in
the past the work has naturally de-
pended on owners or proprietors of hotels and resort places and the consequences were that the moneyed classes or those enabled to live

The wonderful progress of Florida- In commercial and industrial lines Its increased manufactures rapid
of farm lands and hun dreds ot other possibilities have made It incumbent on the railways to begin an nctlvo campaign of publicity among till farmers and hotnescekcrs of the North To this end the litera ture which will be distributed in the North this winter will fully cover these latter subjects and there is no doubt that hundreds of real settlers and homebuilders will be attracted to the State
For a number of years the Florida Fast Coast Railway has had agents- In the Northwestern section of the country whose efforts have been the meant of causing hundreds to visit Florida and although the agents have devoted most of their time to explain- ing the virtues and values of the Fast Coast the homeseekerf after reach- ing Jacksonville chose their own route if travel and every part of the State was benefited by receiving a share- of the travelers
This please of the movmnt has not passed unnoticed by the other rail- ways and now n strong concerted ac-

As u result of their investigation Win Madlsoua certificate has teen revoked while the certificate of J J L cHot c is suspended uitll his ease is Investigated more fully Both are negroes and the fraud was confined solely to negro ajrlcnntf
It will be remembered that T E Ueltose had already beets as principal of Union Academy but ho pas made an appeal to State Su urln-
