J. R. KELLY WRITES INTER ESTINGLY OF MIAMI, FLA. l Miami ,Fla., May 19, 1920, Editor Cordele Sentinel. Dear Sir: ; ‘ Quite a while.-ago you were kind enough to publish an open letter to my friends on Miami, Fla., and the Everglade lands. I now write again concerning Miami Beach, a separate incorporated ecity, claiming to be the fastest growing city in the world. To substantiate this, I give you a few facts and figures: At this time there are fifty three jobs now in eourse of construction, costing several mil lions of dollars. Sixteen hundred men are employed ,with a daily payroll of thirteen thousand dollars, building and creating playgrounds by the develop ing companies, besides various private buildings that are also now in: course of construetion. Among the various big enterprises be ing built and completed are the Flam ingo Hotel, Altonia Theatre, large aquarium, enlarging Casino, new school building, large oil storage tanks, elec trie light and power house, and the finishing up and the installing poles and lights for the street ears that are ito cross the causeway from Miami lCity and belt the island every one-half hour. Besides all the above there are forty five motor trucks, six tractors and ethree of the largest dredges in the world at work putting the finishing touches on the beach and waterfront. The Western Union Telegraph com pany has also just completed a new office~building. There are already sev eral large hotels and apartment hous ’(*s, churches, post office, garages and o great many residences and business ‘houses now occupied and doing a daily ?ilmsii-noss. In fact, a little new and ‘up-to-date city on an island of three thousand acres, It is ecalled ‘‘The Garden of Fden,”’ Land of Perpetual Youth and the Playground of the Rich. Most of the islands is taken up in play grounds, parks and beauty plots. The most noted sports are bathing, boating, fishing, polo, golf, tennis, au toing and flying in air and sea-planes and all other out-door, healthful sports, the ocean and gulf salt laden breezes and sunshine. Miami Beach is the magnet or meeting place of people from the North, West and aEst on account of its many attractions, chiefly its even temperature, Twelve months in the year where ‘‘December is as pleasant as May.’’ Miami Beach is destined to be the Pasadena of the Atlantic coast, the spot on which the greatest number of Florida’s finest winter homes will be built. Hotels and apartment houses five, six and eight stores high will oc cupy lots now vacant. Picture in your mind for years ago, Miami Beach jagged, rugged and VIRGINIA STANDS PIEST BALLOT TO BE CAST FOR CARTER GLASS EOR PRESIDENT Roanoke, Va,, May 20.—Virginia Democ: it «will go to the convention at San Francisco prenesred to east their first ballot for Carter Glass and pre pared to back up the Wilson Adminis tration in its entirety.

Vera Cruz, May 20.—A rumor that Carranza had been captured in the Puebla mountains is eredited in official cireles today.

Believe me, T am hones; T have been to Cuba, Los Angeles and Pasade na fifteen years ago and I failed and refused to buy there and have always been sorry. So far, my only regret in coming to Miami is that T did not come ten years ago. | Should any of you ever decide to come and will write me before leaving deseribing what you want, T will meet you and favor vou every way I can.
