APALACHICOLA VIEW
OF COUNTY DIVISION
ApalaChiCOla Times.

As county division appears pOpu-
lar in several sections of Florida at
present, if for no reason other than to
be popular, Franklin SplasheS into the
fashionable stream and splashes in
the waters of division.
CarTabelle wishes to sever her con
neCtiOn from the mother county. and
the legislature will be requested by
Carrabelle to cut the tie that binds

breezeS as they blow through East
Pass from the briny.
Of course the present court house
standing amid the serenity of its
peaceful surrounding at Crawford

later, Never, Move it, Of course
A touch of the East Pass OZOno Is

and pungent with the brine of the Old

its continuous boom" as il demands
recognition.
Carrabelle will he great port. sur
passing in grandeur the widest
dream of the most imaginative. !.
P. Williams says so, and J. p. knows
And a. court house is needed where
the boom can he incUbated.
And the "agitatOrs" know a thing or
twO-even if il looks funny to a man
up a tree. MajoTitieS are supposed
to rule in this land of the free, but
the beef trust knows that minOrities
hold the whiD-hand if YOU play your
cards right. The 'agitators" are we'll
aware that they are in the minority.
but like the beef trust they will swal-
low the majority if given the chance.
And the 1900 having so far failed 70
swallow the 1000 must need 20 on
another tack and sail for unsuSpectinC
Waukulla who promises TO fall an
easy victim to the Establishments and
determined onslaught of the braves
of Balaklava. Hit or miss! hip, hip,
hurrah, letter go Glagaher.
Carrabel1e has railTOad-an i'm
pOrtant factor (and now ApaIachicOla
has one) BY coaxing and speciOuS
argument she secured every Ium Der
carrying vessel for East Pass. She
shut out West Pass by a coup, and
caused its abandOnment-tO fall into
inOcuous deseutude. so to speak-aIl
on the specious plea that West Pass
was unSuited to the needs of COM
merce; and unsuspecting, ApalaChi-
cola fell into the trap that was to be
ApaIachicOla' undOing as a shipping
point So well were the plans laid
and so expert were they in execution,
shipping fell into the
snare without a ripple to disturb the
waters. We were OUtgeneralled, and
defeated before we had time to get
our breath. A victory won without /
firing a shot!
Encouraged by former victories, AD- !

her, and why not 90 farther. EmaS- !
culate her! She has been a liberal /
giver in the past, and TO keep peace |
in the family she Will give more. But |
she will not give us the court house |
and this we we'll know, therefore We
must and shall have a court house. !
even if we have to rob poor old Wau- |
l<ulla and be her undOingI We have |
tasted of the sweets, and demand tho |
juicy fesh-pots that we may drink |
our fill.
Well do we know that a good and |
sufficient reason for separation from |
the mother county can not be given, |
but We can feed them with prejudice |
and appeal to them with sDeciOus ar |

And the 1900 marched up the hill
and marched down again.
