allahassee.-Senator Blount anGl
Mr.. Avery, of Escambia, are taking a !
great deal of interest in the PROPOSE |
ton TO take the governor and his cab
met, the entire legislature, and as
many of the outside public as care tot
be caught in good company, over toi
Pensacola while the naval feet is in
port
Committees have been appointed in
senate and house to consider the adj
visibility of accepting the invitation
so graeiouslv extended by the Fensa-
cola Chamber of Commerce, and it
now looks as il the whole push
would go over some fine Gay and look
at the big ships lying at anchor in the
biggest harbor this side OF Newport
News.
Frank l.. Mayes, the accomplished
and energetic editor of The Pensacola
Journal is also taking great interest
in the proposition, and will do all in
his power TO keep the members from
losing their wool hats in the maze OF
streets with such old names as Pala-
fox, Intendencia and Tara gora, which
distinguish the Deep Water City of
the Gulf, and give it quaint old-worlGI
flavor of its own.
Mr. Mayes, who has ben here sew
eral days, returned to Pensacola yes
terday. He is delighted with Tallahas-
see, and declares that the ride he took
out to Lake Hall Monday afternoon
was a revelation to him. He hopes to
return in a couple of weeks and make
longer stay in the land of roses ana
politics.
Senator Blount said yesterday after
Icon that it was hoped TO arrange the

afternoon. But this is a detail. When
ever the boys go they are going to
have great time, and some of them
are going to wire over. TO Frank
Maura to have a big pot of chicken
gumbo and another of ',jambalaya on
the fire.
A member was heard to use an apt
expression yesterday. Somebody was
\ saying something about the brevity of
the sessions of the two houses now
adays, when this legislator spoke up:
Good thing, too-keeps out bad bills.

still have a little strychnine left for
some more of EN-"
\ There was more truth than poetry
in the remark. Later in the session
when the business is piled up noun
: tain high before the overworked mem
bers, nothing is easier than to get rio
of a rotten bill by the good old lin,
definite postponement dodge" But
that device would hardly work now
while the calendars are comparatively
clear.
Ed. Wartmann. the gentleman from
Marion, objects to the statement re
Gently made. apropos of his famous
a automobile bill, that there is but one
gasoline buggy" in Ocala He says
that there are twenty, and that he has
counted them. AS Mr.. Wartmann'
standing is way up above par, hi;
