hundred feet of the site ,of the new

Besides being the oldest house Of its
kind In the city this residence has the
distinction of once having sheltered
for period of several months the
first governor of Kansas. Charles Rob
inson. The Walters have learned that
he once had his Office In the front
room Of the house, but whether he re-

residence in the house was In the

This little house-it Is a one-story

house is snug In the winter time.
Almost half a century has passed

Avoid pisputatlon.

The disputations person never makes
a good friend. In friendship, men
look for peace and concord and some
measure Of content There are
enough battles to fight outside. enough
Earring and jostling In the street,
enough disputing in the market place.
enough discord in the workaday
world. without having to look for con-
tention in the realm Of the inner life
also. There, II anywhere. we ask for
an end of strife. Friendship is the
sanctuary of the heart. and the peace
of the sanctuary should brood over it
Its chiefest glory is that the dust and
noise of contest are excluded.-Hugh

voked general apprehension by their
invasion Of individual rights and con-

with the darkest chapter Of human
folly and tyranny"
eve, who are commissioned to exc
cute and make the laws for the peo-
pie of Alabama" he said, 'are not
children, but grown up men. We are
not iiealists or theorists seeking some
impossible Utopia. We are practical
men of affairs, acquainted with the
world and with some experience OF
its conditions. We take poor, weak
human nature as it is, for We know
that the millenum has not yet arriv-
ed. We advocate temperance. We up
hold the highest standard OF Chris
tan character. We heed the healing
voice Of Christian charity, but We
know that we cannot legislate virtue
into mems lives We recognize that
in all liquor legislation there are
but two policies. We must aim either
at the abolition or the regulation of
the traffic
'In my opinion prohibition should
be the established policy of the state
with a general local option law to
take effect at the next general cleo
don.- The people want no more cleo
tons that are not necessary to ascer-
tain the public will. Such elections
disturb the public peace and renew
the evils of bitter agitation and po-
litical turmoil Local option means
the right of the unit affected to con-
troll the liquor traffic, either by abso-
lutte prohibition or regulation"
In recommending an excise commits
sion, he said:
I'm my opinion nearly all the evils
OF modern intemperance have come
from drinking cheap, debased AMI
adulterated articles of alcoholic bev-
erage. We should therefore by proper
provisions limit the same TO those
distilled and fermented beverages
which are recognized by leading chem
lists and experts as least injurious TO
the public health. We should pro-
hibit the sale, under whatever name
they may be offered, Of all spirits
which are compounded wholly or in
part of alcohol, either with or with
out added coloring or flavor matter;
or which are produced IN any other
way than by the legitimate methods
of disti1lation and aging as requir-
ed by the most advanced pure food
laws"
Gov. O'Neal indicated more concil-
iatory attitude toward public service
corporations.

VIM. MORGAN
IS DECLARED TO
BE INSANE MAN
AGED SLAYER OF HIS WIFE WILL
BE REMOVED FROM CITY JAIL
TO CHATTAHOOCHEE INSANE
ASYLUM THIS MORNING.

Held to be insane by a sanitay COM
mission and committed to the state
insane asylum at Chattanhoochee, VIII
liam Morgan. the aged stockman of
Escambia county who. a few days
ago, killed his wife, will be today
placed in that institution. A sanity
commission, composed OF Drs. Dew.
berry, D'A1emberte and Blocker,
examined into the condition of Mr.
Morgan, who, since the killing, has
occupied cell in the city Jail. The
findings of the committee, incorporated
In a report, hold the aged stockman
to be insane and a fit patient for the
state insane asylum. Acting in &C.
[cordance with this report, County
Judge Bellinger has issued the neces-
sary commitment papers.
Mr.. Morgan will be taken to Chat
tahoochee in the custody Of Sheriff
Van Pelt. The sheriff will leave at
u o'clock.
The tragedy in which Mr.. Morgan
acted an unconscious part, is one Of
the most narrowing In the annals Of
West Florida. At the Morgan home,
near Moline, about ten days ago, he
suddenly became insane, attacking
Mrs. Morgan, who was sixty-fve years
old, about ten years the junior Of her
husband. She attempted to escape,
but was overtaken in her fight in a
lane leading from the front yard.
With q pocket knife, he cut her
throat. severing the jugular vein and
causing almost instant death.
The news Of the tragedy quickly
spread and neighbors soon assembled.
They found Mr.. Morgan standing over
the PROSTATE and dying body Of his
wife, muttering insane words. He
was removed to his house, where he
was guarded until the arrival of
Sheriff Van Pelt
In the early morning Of the day
following, Mr.. Morgan, who bad in the
meantime regained control Of his
mind was brought to the city by the
sheriff and placed in the city Jail.
where better accommodations were at
hand than in the county Jail He has
remained quiet and apparently with
the full knowledge Of his awful deed
on his mind at all times.
Sheriff Van Pelt will continue his
Journey from Chattahoochee to Jack
sonville and Tampa, where he expects
to spend the ensuing two weeks.

Proposed Railway From
Alabama to Pensacola
CONTINUED from First Page)

addressed the council favoring the
passage of the ordinance. He said
that at the present time Pensacola
is badly in need Of an independent
railroad, independent docks and indie
pendent steamship lines, and that she
must secure these before she can
take her proper place in the COM
mercial world.
He said Megargel & Co., the men
behind the proposed road, are respon-
sible men, who have completed road
in Texas, and that the road proposed
Is looked upon as good business
proposition, connecting with five 9TH
er roads, among them being the Hi.
nods Central and Queen and Crescent
roads. 1t would touch the iron and
mineral fields Of Alabama, and that
in his opinion a more feasible and
businesslike proposition had never
been presented to Pensacola. The
promoters he stated had Investigated
the Andalusia line, but had decided
that one to Alabama presented the
better opportunity and that the firm
had spent about $4,000 in gathering
the information and going over the
proposed route.
John e. Stillman followed Mr.. Fish
er in short talk, in which he stated
that he believed that what is being
asked for in the way of franchises
are only reasonable and that what is
now needed is competing line with
the L. & N.
Option On Road.
F. F. Bingham said a few words
favoring the proposition, in which he
stated that the promoters had secured
an option on the road of the Southern
States Lumber Co. up into Alabama,
and that Mr.. Yonge before granting
this option had made thorough ex-
animation and found the promoters to
be men Of standing in New York and
good for their obligation He said
that Mr.. Berry, who is associated
with the firm. was for years assistant
engineer of the New York Central
and constructed the terminals Of that
company in New York
After hearing the talks the council
referred the ordinance to the fran
chise committee.
