A plan to infuse new life into dead
towns has been adopted at Admission,
Ala, and there is no good reason, il
it works advantageously for Annis-
ton. why it would not for other places.
The citizens have met and resolved to
ask each owner of real estate within
the city limits to contribute annual
II. for five years, 1 per cent of the
assessed value of their property every
year to a fund in the hands of the
trustees, this fund to be used in Sc
cUriAG industries.
While the trustees are authorized
to make appropriations from this
fund when they deem it necessary 10

What precaution Will be taken to
prevent the sinking of the new pave
ment when laid over the many sew
er openings now being made? And
should the pavement give way over
these openings who will have to re-
lay it in good shape? This is worth
thinking about, because no matter
how carefully a cut is refilled and the
filling rammed shrinkage is certain to
occur-frequently months after the
excavation has been made.

sense to be regarded as donations In
pledging themselves to pay IN TO the

value o. their property for I'VE years,
the property owners fully understood
that if the assessed value decreases
their special tax does likewise. and
that the same rule applies to an IN
crease. In case the property Is sold
the tax is not levied against the sale.
It is stated at least 80 per cent OF
the real estate owners Of Admission
Will enter into the scheme and Doom

1t is understood, the majority OF the
progressive citizens of Admission are
flied with enthusiasm over the pro-
1ect, and there is every reason TO pc
heve that the small amount pro rat
ed amongst the property owners OF
the city will bring forth excellent re
suits for the money invested. Of
course the various manufacturing

whether they own property or not.
Where people can come together
and agree upon such plans as the

Hon. w. A. Blount, of Pensacola,
announced last week that he will en-
ter the primaries next year as a can
iidate for United States senator TO
succeed Senator TaHaferro- He is
one of the ablest lawyers in the
state and with intellectual brilliance
unites the Hottest integrity of char
acter. He is especially popular in
West Florida, and is highly esteemed
in other quarters Of the state. Added
to his qualifications and popularity
will be the argument that the gulf
coast is entitled to representation IN
the senate and that it is not fair foI
the east coast to have both senators
II Messrs. TaIiaferro, Sparkman
Broward and L'Engle also run, the
campaign next year will be very live
" In the event of all these gentle
men being candidates, the Herald
will choose between Messrs. Talia-
feTro and Sparkman.-Punta Gords

Conscience Aroused By
The Voice of the Ages.

Out OF the sordid atmosphere OF
selfishness and greed and human per-
Yersity occasionally there comes a
CLEAN OF Hght-a pure and radiant
refraction from a world and con-
science beyond the ordinary concep-
ton of commonplace existence.
Not long ago, Mr.. E. B. whiddon,
the sidewalk contractor in Pensacola,
received a letter from a man in Geor-
gia, asking him if he was the same
Mr.. Whiddon who had made a rail-
road grade in that section in 1903.
The letter went on to say that if he.
Mr. Whiddon, was the same man,
which he wanted to pay. Mr.. Wild
don replied that he was the man who
had the railroad contract, but that
be had no recollection of any money
due him by the writer of the letter.
In response, Mr.. Whiddon received
the following reply:
Coffee, Ca, July 8, 1909.
Dear Sir: Your letter containing
my request was duly received May
18th.
When you moved your camp from
the DooIy Compmeeting Grounds,
while you were grading on the A. B.
& A. railroad in 1908, 1 got wheel
barrow you left there, which I know
was wrong, and I can't be satisfied
uEtil pay you for it. At that time
l was a wild boy and now 1 am {,
Christian man. would have paid
you for it before now, but I didn' :
know your address.
As send you 81, I ask your for
giveness.
Very truly yours,
r. F. OWEN
Jesus saith unto him, 1 am the
way, the truth, and the life."-John
1875.
1t is a small thing-the payment
Of this $500 which the man to whom
it was due knew nothing about-but
tho motive which prompted the act
affords a transcendent illustration OF
the power OF that little subtle some
thing called human conscience which,
indefinite and ncompTehensible
though 1t be, today moves the world,
slowly but surely, toward a finer and
better goal of life. And it is more
over but another example of the won
derful power which the life and
teachings of a lowly Nazarene, COM
ing down through nearly twenty CEN
turtles of civilization, have through all
that time held over the hearts and
minds of men.
Ills coming up the steep of time
And this old world is growing
brighter"
The example illustrated in this let
ter should prove a matter of inspira-
ton and hope to every man who
cEerishes the divine injunction to
love thy neighbor as thyself and thy
God with all thy heart-the summun
bonum of human existence.

Can't Always Agree

In a lengthy editorial the Pensacola
Journal of last Friday comes back al
US under the head of The Beneflc-
iaries of Special Privilege" We shall
make our rejoinder brief ds in the
opening. Bro MayeS held that you
couldn't turn a man from an opinion
he wanted to entertain anyhow, or
in the old adage-''cOnvinCe a man
against his will" etc. The Journal
opens fire on US in these words: 1T
is always hard for the benefciaTieG
of special privilege to look either with
approval or with reason upon any at
tempt to deprive them % the special
privilege which has 80 long been
theirs"
The Havana News has never had
any exchange contract with any rail
road company and it has been q long,
long time since the editor has ridden
on q pass So you didn't touch US.
We are trying to argue our PROPOSE
ton reasonably. We have never said
or claimed any editor should have d
free pass" yet The Journal has had
free pass" on the brain, 1t seems
We did say that the right to barter
or exchange stock in trade, it matters
not what the stock in trade may be
should not be taken away from a cit
izen, so long as the exercise of it in
lures no one. All we wanted was that
the newspapers might be permitted tn
sell $25 worth of advertising space
for S25 worth of mileage at regular
rates. Our contemporary calls this a
special privilege We don't agree on
that point, that's all
We arrogate not to ourselves the
right to say what is good democratic
ideas and what is otherwise, but such
special privilege" talk in regard Lo
our proposition sounds nightly like
PopUlism.
in regard to our opposition to the
chairman of the railroad commission
1t is no new thing, Bro. Mayes. Your
editorial might lead some to think
that we had previously supported that
gentleman. Really that is the IN
kindest cut of all. Scan the editorial
columns of your exchanges and YOU
will find others besides the Havana
News who have paid their respects to
that gentleman in no uncertain Ian
guage. And we are constrained tC
believe that had you watched the an
tics of some lobbyists at the last ses-
sion, as we did, you would excuse us
if we lost our temper a little when
some mems names were mentioned
Good men don't always agree, Bro
Mayes, so we'll shake and call it or

Adopts Journals Suggestion.

SNOFlS SOuTudl , Ou9SCSAiOH-
It is a matter Of rare occurrence
that any utterance of Editor Mayes
of the Pensacola Journal is suscepti-
BILE OF being honestly criticised Cor it's
untenableness. However, we feel that
the level-headed editor who had the
holiness to stand out against the al
most unanimous press of the state III
favor of an anti-pass bill, is in error
in taking the position that it was
right to exclude sheriffs from the pro-
visions Of the bill. We take it that
the permitting of sheriffs to have
fee transportation is only an effort
to aid and abet that officer Of the
law-to give him an opportunity to
run down every effort at escape OF
the fugitive from justice. And as to
the mileage that the officer may re-
ceive, it is only small fraction OF
the sum total that should be freely
given him by the people Cor hazarding
his life, by day and by night, fOf
their protection. It might be emf
nently proper, however, for the next
legislature to adopt the suggestion OF
the Journal and eanct a law COM

state to issue passes to all the sher-
ifs in the state."-St. Augustine Me
