Mr. Editor: I win try to write a letter for your paper as a number of people in North asked me to write occasion ally. I made a trip today down the Dixie Highway to Miami a distance of 65 miles. I don’t think T went through as much as ten miles of coun try on the way there, that is not clear ed off and surveyed out in lots for town sites. First going South, is Lakeworth. Then comes Lantawna, a new development with just a few buildings going up. Next is Boynton, a small village that is widely adver tised as a town. Next is Delray, an other small town and the only place I saw anything growing to eat and that was pineapples. Next we come to Bosca Raton. This property wa* on the market when I came here last fall and was considered one of the leaders in lot sales. Today a* you pass through you see a few streets 100 feet wide, paved and in perfect con dition for a city but nothing more. And I hear but very little said about the sale of lots at this place. We passed through several I villages between there and- Ft. Laud erdale. This is an old tdwn and is; said to be in the midst of a farming’ section. We found good buildings here. Finte churches and school build ings, hotels and other business houses of different kinds. A lot df new 1 dwelling houses have been recently built and two large buildings under construction, but apparently nothing is being done there at this time. sNext we come to 'Hollywood by the* Sea, the greatly advertised city. W’e. took diaper there. The first case we entered fyad gone out of business. -So we went 'to another and got service at a reasonable price. I had a talk withi the proprietor. He said Hollywood 1 is dead, and he was trying to get his | money out of what he had there but could not find anyone who would buy. AH I saw here for anyone to do was the $7,000,000 hotel which is going up there. Houses, tents and business places are advertised for sale, or refit. This pla'ee is one Os beauty, but seems to be about finished. Next place of importance was the city of Ma : mi. This is a city in all of the beauty one could wish to be j hold. Just numbers of magnificent | buildings towering, toward the sky. The most beautiful of all is the McAl ister Hotel. Here we found ships in port laden with all kinds of building material* and other articles of merch andise. I also found the greatest gestion of traffic I ever saw. After driving through the city for some time we made our way back. Arriving | here just after dark and counted it a day well spent. I found old North Carolina advertised ail along the way. So I will close, with best wishes to you and all back in the grand Old State of N. C. \V. R. BLACKWELDER.
