L. S. BROWN IN EVERY PARTICU
LAR COMPETENT, ABLE AND FIT
TO FILL THE OFFICE OF CLERK
OF CIRCUIT COURT.

Much has been said for and against
various candidates who are to be vOt-
ed upon on May 10, but little has been
by all means be your choice. That is
L. S. BROWN, whos is running for
clerk of the court
BROWN is man who believes in
making the burden upon the people as
Light as conditions will warrant.
BROWN has been in public life but
a few years; in that time he has
demonstrated that his broad mind is
for the masses and not the classes.
BROWN does not deceive the pub
lie; his every idea is for the better
ment of conditions in this city and
county.
BROWN is a man in whom you can
rely. and who has the confidence of
every man with whom he has dealings
or who knows him.
BROWN believes i'm plain state
ments and laying bare the hidden Sc
crets of public offices.
BROWN was never guilty Of using
his official position for private gain.
BROWN has always held the re-
spect and good will of labor Organiza-
tions.
BROWN, as a member OF the City
Council. has had to appear conspicu-
GUS in matters handled by that body
during the recent local troubles
BROWN acted without fear or par
TALLY, but as circumstances demand
ed.
BROWN has done as much or more
for the advancement of the city than
any other man in the same length of
time.
BROWN has proved his worth to
the people of this community.
BROWNS idea of giving us some
facts and figures relating to this Of
fee which has enjoyed such large rev.
enue from our people for so many
years is worthy of a trial; the law
does not require that he should give
the facts, but BROWN believes in let
ting the people know. in the hope of
reducing operating costs in this cOUn-
ty, giving the benefit to the taxpayers
or making more hard roads.
BROWN is progressive. active and
alive to every issue that is of benefit
to our people. and We should give him
this office in order that we may know
what the pay under The fee system is.
No man now outs de of the clerk can
intelligently pass judgment as TO
" HSJliti VI itDJ OilO bliNV oiAvulu Nv
placed upon salary basis.
BROWN knows that it is not in his
power to make the change. but he can
if given the opportunity, keep it be
fore the people long enough for them
TO judge.
CROWN proposes and will give rs
these fal Is ard figures annually. and
it is the opinion of the people. we
can demand the change.
Remember the race for Clerk of the
Circuit Court will not come up again
for four years. No other candidate has
offered to do what BROWN will do
Why wait eight years longer, if it can
be done in the next -four?
Fellow-voters, American life is cry
ing aloud for men who are honest, in
dustrious and equipped. Can you at
ford to overlook this opportunity of
putting this young man BROWN in |
this office?
BROWN should. by ar means. be |
made our next Clerk of the Circuit /
Court. Let's try him.

passed in the state. He is a writer
of remarkable force, pungent, incisive,
scholarly and always honest. and his
wit, humor and satirical spirit light
up the columns of his paper when he
can find the time from his numerous
other duties TO indulge his vein. in d
way which none of the rest of us can
rival nor even initiate. Mr.. Hethering-
ton has high ideals of journalism and
it is such as he who help to make it a
profession, a teaching profession for
the betterment of the world-not a
mere mercenary trade. We are glad
that he has been elected president of
the Florida Press Association and we
hope that he may be able to achieve
the marvel of securing a good attend
ance from all parts OF the state at
the next annual meeting.

REESE REPLIES TO BROWN
ON RAIL ROAD ERANClISEc
Pensacola. Fla, Nov 10

pensacola, Fla. May IL, 1908.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
| beg your indulgence to permit me
10 reply to the communication of Mr.
L. ;. Brown, as published in The
journal OF May ?, relative to the two
TalLroad franchises now pending be
fore the city council, and. too this
is a matter of vital Importance to the
citizens of Pensacola.
Among other things, Mr.. Brown
says:
1t was my intention originally to
oner other amendments to the fran
chises, but upon careful consideration
and talking with many citizens, | have
come 10 the conclusion that we must
get a railroad. ] realize the price is
high, the franchises valuable, and all
that. but is it not a fact that we have
been trying to get railroad for owe
twenty years?''
Then again he says:
AS to the water front property. the
title is questionable, and the city does
not warrant it. Individuals own all
the property on the bay front within
the streets granted: if we can get a
railroad some of these people who
'now own a little home would be
worth twice as much. As TO there be
ing no other streets to the water front
in the city there are many between
Olivia street and the Big Bayou
First Mr.. Brown says that the
price is high, and the franchise valu-
able Next he says: AS to the wa
ter front property. the title is que =
tiOnable, and the city does not warrant
it
Where did Mr.. Brown get the. idea
that the city's title was questionable?
This title the city holds was granted
by the state under chapter 1902, acts
legislature of Florida, 1899. same be-
ing AN act to grant the water front
of the city of Pensacola" and after
the supreme court of Florida had de-
cided that the title to this property
was in the state. Has Mr.. 81 own ever
taken his map to see just what is pro-
posed to be given away by these two
ordinances now before the council?
Section of the Pensacola, Alabama
and Western ordinance grants to this
road out of the water front property
belong ing to the city the following:
Olivia street, width 100 feet. with
tier of seven blocks, Nos. 20. II, &c.
So. 10, 125. 1873. andd fractions 249
and $50. width SIP feet

of blocks. Nos 66. %. O6, O9, SO. 1OJ,
1875 1872, and fraction 24S, 400 feet.
Donaldson street. width 30 feet, and
tier of S blocks, Nos 81, %. %, 81, %
81, los, 127 and fraction, 49,, 400 feet.
Coyle street. width 80 feet and ter
of blocks, Nos. Sc, 81. IS. 80, 90, IS.
107. 12S and fraction, 247, 400 fest.
Total. 1862 feet.
Section OF the grant to the Pensa
cola and Northern. grants the remain
der that the city owns which is most
desirable for a railroad, as follows:
DeViEliers street, width 50 feet, and
tier OF 8 blocks, Nos. 90, 80, SO. 40, So,
SO, 106 and fraction, 246, width 39S
feet.
Reus street, width 80 feet, and tier
of blocks, Nos. IS, 81, 50, Al, 81, 80,
los and 80, width $50.
Making altogether 2.170 feet
There being $3.50 feet in a mile, it
will be seen that the grant TO these
two roads is more than a half mile
wide, east and west; in fact, al that
the city owns from Barcelona street

Editor Appleyard, of the Lake City
Index, has been again elected secre-
tary of the Florida Press Association,
which surprises nobody, for it would
be almost presumptuous in any man to
offer for the place if Tom Appleyard
wanted it. 1t is job with plenty of
work and no emoluments, and Secre-
tary Appleyard holds the position
year after year by the unanimous con-
sent of his brethren because of his
conspicuous fitness for the work and
