to mistreat him in this fashion as
described by the Ocala Banner:

against the agitation on the subject
of citrus canker in Florida, lie calls
It a political game and says the pur
pose is to get federal aid so the

seeking to sell citrus stock. We are
aware that there is much low, mean,
undesirable human nature in this
world, as is proved by the contents
of our jails, 'penitentiaries and city
slums; but we are not prepared to
believe that many reputable citizens
of Florida and scientific experts of J

clared that citrus canker is ravag

sure to spread unless checked, are
rogues, rascals and scoundrels who
have thrown their characters to tho

more nursery stock. That would be
the limit of Infamy and in the

Among the correspondence from

Texas, telling of the increasing mo-

"It is also undoubtedly true that

The editor of the Tele? ram warmly
appreciates many kind references to
himself in the state papers in con
nection with the recent municipal
campaign in Lakeland. They have
not been reproduced in these col
umns because the campaign itself
having passed, we wished all its
bitterness to pass with it and fac
tional spirit in our city to subside,
and one means to that end was to
say nothing, more on the subject.
We trust that reproducing the fol
lowing from the Orlando Reporter
Star, in courteous recognition of
kind words from an esteemed con
temporary, will not he construed in
nny other spirit:
"One of the accusations against
Editor Hetherington during the
municipal campaign in that city was
that he had borrowed twelve thous

was true, but the amount was less
than he really borrowed. The Lake

largest factor in th,. building of
Lakeland and no man has worked
harder in public or private capacity
than lletherinaton, yet it is to he
doubted if any other than an editor
would be reflected upon as a crook
or a criminal because he had bor
rowed money."
