every one of us cannot vote for him.

A Reward of Merit.
Without any noise or bloviation, so
,, modestly and quietly that it did not
attract our attention, The Pensacola
Journal has added a column to each
page and is now full-fedged eight
| column quarto. The description "all
wool and yard wide" applies to The
Journal as fifty as ever to anything.
The enlargement is more and better
than an evidence of prosperity. 1t is
| a reward of merit.-Tampa Times.
Public Enjoys 1t.
While the political pot in most sec
| lions of the state has hardly reached
the simmering stage, it is already
boiling over in Pensacola. Mr.. T. A.
Jennings. candidate for the legisla-
! ture, and at one time prominent can
didate for governor, and State Sena-
tor Beard had personal collision on
one of the thoroughfares OF Pensacola
the other day. The lie was passed
and quick as wink the two strong
men clashed. The skin on Mr.. Jen-
nings's face was broken in several
| places, having come in contact with
| Mr. Boards cane. After being separ-
| ated by bystanders, both men were ar
rested and taken before the recorder,
| told their respective stories and paid
| the penalty for disturbing the
peace'-which in cases Of this sort
is so generally enjoyed by the general
public-Ocala Banner.
| Proposed Pensacola Road.
| In an interview in The Pensacola
| Journal, President H. H. Thornton, of
| the Chamber of Commerce, states
that he is enthusiastic over the pro-
| posed bridge across the Perdido and
| that he will subscribe heavily toward
stock company to take the matter
| up or better vet, toward the propos.
ed railroad bridge and five miles of
railroad into Baldwin county which
Henry Mclaughlin will lease and
| operate.
The latter is far the better propo-
sition and should be readily financed
| Mr. Mclaughlin has practically
agreed to extend his line to Cum
ming's point and carry half the bridge
expense Mr.. Barclay has agreed to
furnish the franchise for the bridge
right-of1way across his holding and
| grade it and otherwise contribute, and
many others in the county would
| contribute to such a movement.
| The railroad, however, should be
extended to Foley, distance of six
| teen miles from Lillian SO as to get
the L. & N. connection, thus being
able to touch most points in the coun
| ty. AS the country is level the con
struction cost would be light and as
/ Mr.. Mclaughlin agrees to operate il
| on lease that would cut out all equip
ment expense.-Foley (Ala) Onlook

A Contemporary "Vindication."
| When The Times gently waited
over towards Pensacola a hint born
| OF the experience of wood block paw
| ing it was told, not over politely, to
mind it's own business. which it has
| since done with an attention to the
same that is simply heroic. But we
! cannot resist the temptation to note
/ that a Pensacola paper prints an
opipion by an expert that Pensacola Z
