"In viewing the peonage prosecu- tions that are taking place. in Pensa- cola and noting some. of the hideous crimes that are alleged tosAave been committed" said a well known citizen yesterday, people must have lost sight of the fact that the Jackson Lumber Company Is a corporation owned and operated by Northern peo-
 Our entire country should know this and 1t should be spread broadcast forthe reason that I believe 1t 1t is just that 1t should be known that tho Southern people are not always at fault. I fear the South has already received a bad reputation from these prosecutions and it is very likely the impression has gone out that the South Is altogether responsible for such state of affairs as are alleged to have existed. If such ideas are prevalent, it .is because the lumber mills are located in the South, and the minds of the people should be set right on the matter.
 T don't think i, anything retards im- migration mora than such prosecutions as are in progress in Pensacola and the quicker we let the people know we are not to blame for the conditions. the quicker they will begin to think better of the Southern people.
 The whole thing reminds me of the reconstruction days when the South used to be blamed for the blackesr crimes that were caused by carpet baggers"

 ticket straight through at the State and
 county election last week, and they have the respect of all, for they no doubt expressed their honest conVic- tions at the polls. But we don't know hardly what to say of those others, who, after participating in the Demo- cratic primary, split the ticket as they did.
