TWO THE GAZETTE, FRIDAY, MARCH Letter From Florida. Written By a Friend of the Gazette. Putting Florida Dry. Jacksonville, Florida February 26, 1918. Editor Gazette: Dear hardly know what to you from this city.

This is not because there is a dearth of news, but -because there is so much transpiring here, that I am not able to tell it all. In company with others I made my first visit to Camp Johnson located on the north bank of the St. John's river, twelve miles from the city. I was much interested in all I saw as this was first camp I ever visited. There is about sixteen thousand soldiers there now.

Two train loads were sent to other camps yesterday. The camp is a complete city in itself, having paved streets, well built-frame houses, water works, lighting system, Y. M. C. A.

and K. of C. halls and buildings of various kinds. In fact a prospect city for the of the soldier boys. We went to camp by steamer on the river and was taken through the camp and brought home by Auto, making a very enjoyable trip.

To-day with the blare of trumpets and the blowing of the-great Florida State Fair was opened at 2.30 p. m. to last until March 1-Oth. In addition to our already crowded city on account of tourists and soldiers. They expect the fair ito bring into the city two hundred thousand people.

The city is full of light fingered gentry and many unsuspecting persons are being relieved of their cash. There is much lewdness and drunkenness here, and while the city policce assisted by the military officers are doing all they can to clean up and keep the city clean, it is far from being a model city. The rum ttrafflc with all its at- tendent evils, cannot be regulated. This is my third season here, and I have been told that if Jacksonville were to put out the saloons, it would ruin the town as the tourists would not stay here, many of them now see that Miami which is a strictly dry city has a very large body of tourists; that want to be away from the influence of the rum traffic. A fine lot of tourists come to Miami for the winter and put their children in the schools there, would not do so if the city was under the curse of rum.

are making a house to house canvass of this city now, interviewing every voter and trying to get them to vote the city dry in the near future. The leaders of the dry forces are certain of victory at the next election. With Governor Catts on the dry side and Ex Governor Patterson of Tennessee and other able speakers now feel confident of victory for Jacksonville and Davall county. Members of the Tourists Club numbering over sixty-enjoyed a river trip up the St. John's river yesterday to Green Cove Springs and many of us will attend the state-fair.

As this letter is getting lengthy, I will close with best wishes to you and all your readers. Summer Hendrickson, General Delivery.
