Not One Sane Man
Incorporated.

Out of 1000 actually believes
that II is possible to buy $1.00 in
value for less than $1.00 when he
starts out to buy anything of recog-
nized value except life insurance.
Most sane men know that unless they
keep their eyes open they are liable
to pay $125 for $1.00 in value. There
Is no mystery about the apparent
lack Of business sense in connection
with the purchase Of life insurance,
and 1t Is accounted for on the ground
that SO out Of every 100 buy life In
surance from an agent instead OF from
a company, taking the agents word
for the claim that the company he
may be representing is the one that
holds the record for everything calcu-
lated to be to the interest OF the in
sured, when 1t may be fact that that
same agent has represented as many
as a half dozen different companies In
as many years. and made the same
claim for each in turn, and has chang
ed companies from time to time be-
cause he knows from experience that
people buy insurance from the agent
instead of because OF any actually
known merit of his company, and be-
lieves that it Is to his present financial
, interest to work for the company that
pays him the largest commission
we have been trying to represent the
Mutual Benefit for nearly eight years,
notwithstanding the fact that 1t pays
its agents a smaller commission than
any com pany doing business In the
State. We depend entirely on the
company's policy contracts and its
sixty-two years record for honorable
dealing with all members, for busi-
ness. We stick to 1t because we
know we can prove it is the best poll
cy-holder's company in business. and
that every man we insure Is certain
to be satisfied. and will be certain TO
help spread the good work.

we sincerely believe 1t has advantages
that are far superior to those OF any
other South Atlantic port for the han
ding Of immigrant traffic, but so deep
is our interest in the matter that we
are ready to cooperate to secure the
proposed station to any other port
that can make a showing better than
ours.
What is desired is a port of entry
Tor the immigration that is so badly
needed in this section Not only Geor-
gia, but South Carolina, Alabama,
Florida, Tennessee and North Carroll
ma are calling for an increased labor
supply. Hundreds of thousands Of
acres OF their lands are awaiting til
lers, and numerous industries are sui
ter1ng because of a lack of men to do
the work. Under present conditions
the South Atlantic section is without
facilities for the importation of immi-
grants. AS Alderman Oliver has
pointed out, the only immigration sta
ton OF any account in the South is in
New Orleans. There is a fair prospect
that one will be established at Calves
ton; but neither of these would cater
to the demands of the great and grow
ing interests in the states named
above. The territory Of New Orleans
is the Mississippi valley, and that Of
Galveston is Texas and the southwest.
The territory that would be covered
by a station at Savannah would ex-
tend at least from North Carolina to
Florida, inclusive, and as far west as
Oklahoma, and Indian Territory-the
area from which We receive shipments
of cotton.
The immigrant station would be a
government institution. Neither state
nor city. would have anything to do
with 1t. 1t would not have the effect
Of dumping lot of undesirables upon
the community, but would be the dis
tributing point, under a plan similar
to that of the Countess di Barzza,
which We explained a few days ago,
from which desirable immigrants could
De sent to points where they are most
needed. We have numerous freight
ships coming here from Europe with
more or less regularity for cargoes of
cotton, naval stores. etc. Not all of
these ships, of course. could be fitted
up to carry cheap passengers, but
there are many of them that could
and would be fitted with Storage &C
commodations if there were a prospect
OF profit in the business. The ships
that run to Galveston from Europe are
not different in class from those that
come to Savannah, and If there is rea-
son and room for an immigrant station
at that port it is difficult to see why
the same reasons do not apply with
equal force to this port.
The opening of the federal imni-l
grant station at this port would mean
at least measurable relief to the strain
ed labor situation in a short while,
and the increased importance Of the
port. 1t is project we'll worth striv.
ing for. And the government ought,
to regard the proposition favorably.

DAMAGE BY STOCK
RUNNING AT LARGE

Editor Pensacola Journal:
wish to protest through the col
umns OF your paper to the allowing of
STOCK 70 run at large on North Hill.
l have a large yard, filled with many
handsome plants and bulbs. The front
fence have for two years in success
sion covered with honey suckle. only
to have it eaten down by wandering
cattle at night. Twice lately. several
pigs, which root up and down West
Cervantes street by both day and
night, have by some means gotten
into my yard, and greatly injured the
plants, and rooted up the bulbs. Tues
day night, before retiring, / carefully
examined all gates to the yard. not
only boiling them carefully. but wir-
ing them as well, only to find the next
morning half the yard torn up by pigs:
laponicaS, azaleas, carnations. Gala.
diums and many beautiful flowers com.
pletely rooted up, and all the smaller
plants entirely gone. As l had been
az some expense in procuring these
plants and seeds, and at much trouble
Tor several months in bringing them
to perfection, it is a little exasperat-
ing to find your labor in vain, especial
~ as the seeds planted were of peren-
NAL varieties and 1 Anticipated much
pleasure from them for years to come
While on the subject of yard beauti.
Tying, would like to suggest that
something be done towards street i'm.
proyements in that locality, as the
block between Baylen and Spring on
West Ceramics is a disgrace to the
city. II the surplus sand could be ne.
moved from Cervantes street, between
Palafox and Baylen. where the street
is higher than the graded side walks.
and put upon the adjoining block from
Baylen to Spring, where the street Isl
much lower than the graded walks. i'll
would add much to the appearance of
the block and to the safety OF vehicles
which have 70 deliver to the residents
of that neighborhood.

: LIVE OAK LEADS
INLAND CITIES.
1--we Oak Democrat.
fEz%%xssSSRsssE*a %x&*AER,

Live Oak has never been boastful,
hut she has been calmly and firmly
asSertive of the plain facts in her own
case and the reasonable conclusions
from those facts. And now the hour
of her triumph is at hand-a triumph
not to be disputed. for it is in cold
census figures with which she has had
no opportunity to juggle even if she
had so desired, ana Of whose accuracy
there can be no doubt. The state cen
sus Of 1905, just published gives Live
Oak a population of 1900; population
in 1900, 1863, an increase of 5,541 in
FIVE years. That breaks the record
and puts our city first in all Florida in
the growth Of its population during
that period. Lake City, Gainesville,
Ocala, Tallahassee and an the other
cities in the state of second class, are
well to the rear of us and there Is no
belief than any Of them, not even
Lake City, will ever recover the lost
ground and come up abreast. But this
Verges on bOaSting and we will make
no invi0ious comparisons. The future
must tell its own story and we will
not attempt to anticipate it. The ex-
traordinary growth of Live Oak in the
past five years has been accomplished
without extraneous aid, without state
or government assistance, without the
location Of any Institutions supported
by outside appropriations. and is due
solely to rare natural and geographical
advantages, railroad facilities and,
above all. the splendid and well-direct-
ed efforts Of her own people, working
a always in harmony for the general
good, permitting no fractional fights or
local feuds to divide its energies and
determination to build here a city that
should be recognized in time as the
metropolis of Middle Florida. And
outside of the three counties of Duval
HillsbOrOugh and Polk these census re-
turns show that Suwanee has gained
more in population during the past
five years than any other county in
the state In 1900 her population was
14,554, and 1905 Il was 1901. The re-
turns from Dade Escambia and
Orange are not in the last census but
we will admit that Maimi in Dadel
county has more population than Live
Oak but with this exception we lead
the state outside of the seaport cities
of Jacksonville, Pensacola, Tampa and
Kew West. With such figures to back
us We might well put the rooster up
and let him crow his loudest. but we
foTbear, and are content that thsI
simple facts shall be known. 1t will
be a splendid stimulus to our people,
although we are not surprised, and
we will pass the ten thousand mark
in less than three years.

THAT PINE BARREN

THAT PINE BARREN
SHOOTING RFFRAY
Pine Barren, May IA, 1906.
Editor Pensacola Journal:
Noticing a very badly mixed up and
erroneous article in The Pensacola
Weekly News Of May IL, in which nv
name is used, beg for space in YOUR
valuable paper in which to correct
same
The News heads his article thus:
Men his Target" and says Taylor
Williams and several negroes came
precariOusly near lOosing their lives
through the reckless shooting of a ne.
gro named VIII Miner; that Miner
shot at Mr.. Williams first, but missed
his aim. Then Mr.. Williams sought
safety. The paper also says the ne
gro had made threats against the
white people all day and was particu-
laTly sore against the men at the mill
because he had been working there
and at one time had been discharged.
The truth of the story is that on last
Tuesday negro, Aaron Miner. walk
ed into the mill and began shooting
at another negro, with whom he had
row a few days before. After he
nred the second shot at the negro I
caught him and tried to prevent his
killing the man he was so intent on
getting another shot at and the ne
gro turned the pistol on me. KNOCK
ed the pistol from my face one Sec
ond before it was fired, but still held
on TO the man. As he was trying to
shoot at me the second time he was
knocked out Of business by a negro
who had come to my rescue.
Two other shots were fired after he
struck the floor but at no particular
person. By this time a dozen men
caught him and took his pistol. tied
him and sent him to jail
The negro had never been discharg-
ed and had made no threats against
any whites, but was in favor with the
white men at the mill.

The Development
of West Florida.

Although unaccOmpanied by the
blare Of trUmpets and beating Of tom
toms, the work of developing the re
sources Of West Florida is going on at
a rate that will surprise those not in
touch with the situation. The coun'
try is being rapidly settled by a class
of enterprising and industrious farm
ers from the north and west whose
labors are already beginning to make
st blossom as the rose" while rail.
way lines are either actually under
construction or projected which will
put settlers in close touch with the
distributing centers, up-to-date towns
are springing UP, and the magnificent
commercial possibilities of West Flor
ada ports are being recognized and de,
veloped. The dream Of the past bids
fair 20 be realized.
Outside of the Deep Water City,
Pensacola, no place in West Florida is
showing a more progressive spirit
than the beautiful city Of Apalachico-
Ia. which will soon have railroad facil-
sites, and which only needs a railroad
70 guarantee its future as one of the
most important ports upon the Gulf
coast Apalachicola is fast develop
ing into a modern city, is at present
putting in a fine water works system
and has numerous other municipal i'm
prOvements in contemplation.
On st. Andrews bay several towns
have sprung into existence since the
railway from Chipley was surveyed
and the work Of construction begun,
and extensive terminals will be
constructed by the B. c. & St A. Ry.
Co. which means that St. Andrews
bay will soon control a gOodly share
Of the commerce Of the gulf coast and,
when the Panama canal is completed
the towns will develop into cities OF
Importance. st. Andrews bay should
receive more attention from congress.
II needs deep water on the bar and
the magnifcence Of the bay warrants
q reasonable expenditure by the fed
eral government.
Mariana, Chipley, DeFuniak and,
en- fact, all other West Florida towns
are growing rapidly and it is the
question Of only a few years until
many of them will be rated among
the most progressive and modern
cities in the Land Of Flowers.
The Deep Water City OF the Gulf,
Pensacola, is forging ahead by leaps
and bounds and will in the near fu-
ture, rank with any city Of the south
land. Its commercial possibilities are,
unsurpassed and the country tributary
20 It is fast becoming one Of the gar.
den spots Of the south.
There is no section Of the south that
has more advantages and attractions

they are fast availing themselves Of
