CHAPTER XII


Persons represented: Mr.. I. Reader,
Mr.. T. A Jennings, Mrs s. Reader,
Mr.. J. II. Tidwell, Mr.. c. II. B. Floyd,
Mr. Luke Griffin, Mr. Frank Mayes.
Scene: The cosmiC desert and
lump of earth, on which are crawling a
billion and half bugs, who call them
selves human beings. On a part Of this
lump of earth, lost in the cOsmic
desert, is a slightly raised finger Of dirt
called Florida" A little to the west
of the knucl1Ie of which said finger, is
a group of grains of sand on which is
erected a house where seventy bugs
have gathered to make rules for the
government of the other bugs that live
on the said finger called FLORIDA
These seventy think themselves big
bug; swarming about the seventy are
other flies and bugs, really much more
important than any of the seventy, it
being considered somewhat bug-hOuse
to be one of the seventy. Now let us
abandon the cosmic viewpoint and be
come of the bugs, bugs. We see a large
room with thirteen windows and three
doors; a tall person named Jennings
stands behind a long oak desk or
table; he holds wooden mallet in one
hand; behind Jennings a painting of
one G. Washington is seen, the right
hand extended as though about to
slap the face of Jennings; one Tidwen
of Jackson county is noticed making
an impassioned grafton.
Silly Reader-"What is eating Mr..
Tidwell?''
G. H. Bile has women's skirts on
the brain. Jackson county is rich, you
know CD race horses and all that, and
the women of Jackson send all OF their
husbands money to Paquin in Paris for
dresses; it also appears that they af-
feet the latest stunts of fashion which
inks Tidwell, and every now and then,
in Roscoe Conking manner, Tidwell
tries to abolish harem- skirts, or all
skirts-I forget which. 1t is believed
that Hayes Lewis the sheriff of Jack
son county, is showing Tidwell on in
this matter, as Hayes will make all the
arrests"
Idle Reader-"Who is that rather
smallish man sitting there behind Gray
Of Gadsden in the audience row of
chairs, and tell me something about
him"
c. H. Bile is in the Governor
class. His name is Frank L. Mayes.
He is an editor. The editors are in

not really need you except to mash
you into paint or turn you into copy;
when you intrude on them with your
poems in flesh they, lost in the red
cloud of dream. will spear you with Il
lightning jolt that will make you wish
you were back home with mama. Be-
sides, you know, gods do not marry

Mrs. Reader-"Oh. surely you are
wrong. 1t is the gods who marry twice
and thrice. They are the ones who
recognize that life on earth is impossi-
BILE, tiresome, lonely, unless one is at
the university of matrimony from ma
turity to death. Montaigne, remember,
said that matrimony was bad enough
but it looked as though it was the COM
mon lot, and if he had his life to live
over again he believed that he would
marry again. This is the world Of
woman; in her is the fountain OF love
that gushes through the moonlight in
the brooding hours in the fragrance Of
lilies and kisses; a man who lives
unmarried is as foolish as one who
lives in Greenland in the open air un-
sheltered and alone. I will recite a
poem to you.

always talks to the finest person in

every one talks to him, at him, up
to him. Look at this Here is a

bench and opens the court. 1t is as
though he were conscious further back

Why Railroads Should
Be Brought to Pensacola.

The Journal believes the prospects
are bright for two railroads to be OPP
Grated into this city within a short
time, but because the prospects are
bright is no sign that we should let
matters lag and the builders should be
helped at every opportunity to carry
their work to completion.
Other gulf cities are working for the
business which must come to some
gulf ports and the Birmingham Age
Herald of Monday had the following
to say about proposed railroad to
Mobile, which was going to be built
despite the opposition of the railroads
at that port:
President John T. Cochrane, who is
building a railroad line through the
western counties of this state to con-
meet this city and dlstrios with tide
water, is a man not easily thwarted.
When the railroads had shut him out
of Mobile proper he proceeded to buy
a long stretch of waterfront on the
east side of the river and opposite the
heart Of the city. and today he pos
sesses a water frontage three miles
long. All told he purchased 1000
acres, and he Is in position to build
not only docks and warehouses, but
industrial plants as well. The pur-
chased property Is within Mobiles new
city limits. Mr.. Cochrane says he
purchased the land because Mobile is
the nearest port to the Panama canal
and the South American countries on
the one hand, and is the closest port
also to the rich Alabama deposits OF
coal and iron. The Register says the
Cochrane purchase Is the biggest prop
erty transfer that has ever taken place
~, ND he 10 cleo
trif1ed by it.
The important river front deal gives
the Cichrane railroad system all the
outlet at tidewater it needs, and nc
doubt it's energetic president will soon
proceed to 'tie up" with the mines and
plants in this district. The coming Of
the Cochrane railroads will be warmly
welcomed here. for they will open VI
new coal mining districts. while they
will give access to counties lying along
the west side of the state.
The Alabama. Tennessee and North.
ern should arrive here next year, and
Il will prove a valuable acquisition II
many respects. Its coming Will GER.
tainly antedate the opening OF tht
Panama canal.
The lumber and turpentine business
will not last always in Pensacola ant
something must be done to bring new
business to US. Railroads above every,
thing else are what we need and wfa
we must have if we want to be {
leader always.
49, Every encourag cement should b.
given both of the builders Of the new
railroads. for Pensacola depends large
~ upon them for its future wealth and
~prosperity.

ton Of that dread scourge from the
worst diseases of the world.
1t is now said that typhoid fever.
which is probably as fatal as yellow
fever. is to be no more; that an anti
typhoid serum has been discovered
that will end the ravages of a disease
that is confined to no particular sec
ton and which claims thousands of
victims each year.
Under the head mo More Typhoid"
the Chattanooga News says:
THE Texas maneuver division of
1858 men had only one man down
of the hospital corps whose immuriza-
ton had not been COMPLETED when he
was attacked. He had q light case
and got well. The entire division was
vaccinated with the antt-typhoid
serum.
THE second division of our army
canped at Jacksonville in 1898 during
division was in Texas. The climate
and latitude and topography are
similar. Both had good artesian wa
ter. The second division of 1878 men
reported 1858 cases Of typhoid fever
and PAS deaths from the disease. Ty-
phoid vaccination was then unknown.
The French have an expedition in
Morocco consisting of $4,000 men.
During the period from April q 20
June % not a single man died from
this disease. Morocco. too, is hot
country.
These figures are striking.
THE conditions at Jacksonville were
not considered bad. The record was
thought to be creditable. There were
canns of greater mortality.
THE military physicians and sani-
tarians have conquered their greatest
enemy. Why should city sanita-ians
lag behind them? Why should there
be any typhoid fever?"

FRIDAY, AUGUST Is, 1911.
Put the Wires
Under the Ground.

There are two reasons why the wires
on Palafox street should be put under
ground. First, all large cities have to
do this sooner or later and Pensacola
is becoming a large city. Second,
Palafox street is to be repaved and
when the old paving is being torn up
rand new paving put in its place that
will be the proper time to place the
wires underground.
Overhead wires are dangerous as
well as being unsightly. During the
recent heavy winds the electric wires
were swinging together and the sparks
lwere flying. Had the wires burnt in
two and fallen upon the people who
were forced to be out in such kind of
weather they might have been killed.
The telephone and electric wires
should be put underground before
4PaIafox street is paved and the trolley
wires ought to be placed upon orna-
mental posts which would improve the
looks of that thoroughfare at least 100
per cent. The safety this would add
ito the populace cannot be estimated.
This placing of wires under the
ground will have to be done in a few
years and The Journal believes that
the companies should be willing to do
the work before the street is repaved
rather than have to go to the added
expense Of tearing up the paving later
on.
Palafox needs paving at once, but
the need for paving is not any more
apparent than the need for the cleo
trio and telephone wires to be placed
under the ground.
