xrs have certainly won their
publishers. Editor Carter says of
che new proprietor 01 tne jue
tropolis: "Mr. McClellan is a
newspaper man of national rep
utation and stands high in the
estimation , pf financiers and of
business men in Indiana and
Ohio, where he has had wide
business experience for the past
twelve years, and has been won
derfully successful in all of his
ventures." We welcome Mr. Mc
Clellan to his new field of labor
and wish him abundant success,
lie will find Floridd journalism
in general and Jacksonville jour
nalism in particular a lively
proposition without those lan
guid characteristics which so
many people up the country as
sociate with the people and
things of our semi-tropical cli
mate and as a trained newspaper
man he will soon get his bearings
and be in 'the thick of it with the
rest of us. There is nothing un
pleasantly provincial about Flor
ida journalism. Our editors, re
porters and publishers hail from
all parts of the country and the
only prescribed test is loyalty to
Florida and good work to de
velop her incomparable re
sources. o

As surprising as it may seem
there arc no less than two volun

his book, "The Southerner."
These are the Orlando Sentinel

Now please don't. The Lake

teer defender of the sentiments
expressed by Ambassador Page
in his book. "The Southerner."
for the excellent reason that we
have never read the book nor any
part of it, nor read a line quoted
from it. Under sucli circum- v
'tanas defense is dillicult, it not
impossible. j V TODAY'S BIRTHDAY HONORS

popular form of mid-summer
journalism when political news
scarce and serious mental ef
fort is laborious almost to the
point of pain, to assemble the
names of pretty nearly all the
hading Democrats in the State
and run 'em in as senatorial can
didates, two or three at a time

that way honorable mention in a

Mr. C. D. Clough, wno is one
of Lapland's earliest citizen9,
writes the following interesting ar
ticle relative to the early life of the
Lakeland News, back in the 80's:
"Progress is a great word. It
has a meaning that amounts to
something substantial. In this
connection, being reminded of the
Telegram's splendid equipment, I
recall that a little more than
twenty-nine years aco the first
newspaper of Lakeland saw tne
light of the world. It was Saturday.
June 10, 1SS8, when the inhabi
tants were reminded that a real
newspaper had been born in Lake
land, not one of those patent inside,
or outside, via Atlanta, proposi
tions, but an all home-print.
The town then boasted of about
three or four hundred people, a ma
jority of whom were carpenters and
other workmen who curae here for
the purpose of applying the saw and
hammer in building numerous
shacks and small cottages, while oc
casionally a two story frame store
building came in for some notice.
Vol. 1, No. 1 of the Lakeland News,
D. W. D. Boulley publisher an4 L.
M. Ballard editor was the wording
of the upper portion of the front
fiaPA while a repetition of the Sime
sentence graced the cecond or edi
torial page It was a four page af
fair, six columns, but the old press
which probably interested General
Lee or ueneral Grant in the sixties
in printing the latest war news
served to "get out the issue,'
which was always like a passenger
train in Florida in the winter sea
son, 'late." Press day was four
times a week, and the writer was
the "devil" in the office upon whose
shoulders fell a large portion of the
typesetting, as the publisher kept
himself busy trying to keep out of
work .
A printing office in thoso days
was a strict school, especially to a
boy who was used to roaming tne , tQr but h(J cmh
nnA riimMinnr In tr.fi W00US. I
bll ujia uuu i in.. ......
It was there that we learned to re
fmin from whistling while on duty,
ntid when we had occasion to spit ,
cn the floor were always reminded
to keep in mind that wo must "hit
the crack." The outfit of type con
sisted of about Si dozen casc3 or
fonts of old worn out black face let.
tcrs which scrvsd to "set up" the
nAa tUnt wore carried, while
one
its
purpose four times each week, for
when one page was printed we nau
to "wash" r.nd distribute in order
to get ready for the next page. This
also necessitated folding the paper
twlca and there was more work for
two individuals in that old musty
office which stood at the southeast
corner of Pine street and Florida
avenue that three ordinary men
should do. When we could not find
any news we had to "clip" and the
clipping process cut a big figure.
There was no society, and the larger
portion of news to be found was
a fight around one of the bar-rooms
that had their run in Lakeland in
those drys. It was a frontier town
and every man had to act tough
whether it suited him or no. I
thought I kneT7 ell about the news
paper business after I hr.d bee in
the office for awhile, and longed for
the time to come when some big city
dally would want my services at a
Jarge salary, but that time never ar
rived, and the salary of $5 per
month and an opportunity of plac
ing my feet under the boarding
house table three times a day
served as a reminder that some time
I might be able to Bit
legged stool and call myself we.
When the paper was first issued
the post-office department did not
see fit to grant the proprietors the
privilege of the cond class postage
rate, hence the papers were placed
in a Pile on a table in the POt
offlce and each subscriber looked
through the pile to find his copy.
Tn editor and the postmaster were
t loggerheads on account or we
latter being appointed pwuuw
and was blamed solely for the paper
not being among the chosen class.
a fl,fc war narrowly averted one
day when the postmaster called and
demanded an apology tor a reu
personal editorial about his attitude
in the "second class postage mat
ter." The timely interference of
printers and one or two loafers
kept down the fight. In a few
weeks the rate was granted and the
News kept up her course on the
journalistic sea until a Washington
hand pref3 was installed.
When I see the up-to-date and
modern machinery in the Telegram
office I am reminded that in all the
different lines of progress in Lake
land I know of nothing greater than
her newspaper advancement, and l
hope to see the day come when the
Telegram will make goo goo eyes at
the Tampa Tribune and Times.
Union when it comes to news ser
vice and national reputation among
