might have added: Go two and one
half miles west on said road to the in
tersection of hard road leading to At
more or Walnut Hill, thence on to Bay
Minette.
The said roads running through the
best farming lands of the county.
Again. at Bluff Springs we have hard
roads leading to Flomaton, Canoe and
Atmore, Ala, Waters Ferry and to
Baldwin county and Pensacola.
Like the roads to Rome, from Bun
Springs you can go anywhere on
good road.
AS others see the bridge situation
and to save spending money In sur
veys and commissioners tunketins
trips which does not benefit the public
one penny, we again write on the sub
ject.
The general public is not interested
in automobile highways and long
stretches of hard roads for speedways
though if We have such roads the au-
tomobile and motor driven vehicles
should use them under such restric-
tions and rules that they would not IN
terfere with the travelling public. What
We want and must have in Escambia
and Santa Rosa counties are farmers
and settlers on the acres Of land that
have been cut over and held by syn
dicates; and as a side remark, if these
syndicates had their land assessed at
one-fourth the price they are holding
them at, as far as Escambia county is
concerned, we would never have needed
to bond the county, and unless this is
done the present reduction of taxes is
only temporary and will have to be in
creased in order TO meet current ex-
penses for if IL took the available funds
TO meet the expenses before the bond
issue, the same ratio OF Improvement
will be demanded in the future as has
oeen In the past ten years, and where
is the increased fund to come from
10 meet any further obligations? The
increased tax valuation Of these lands
would necessitate placing them on the
market in small holdings in both coun-
ties.
Santa Rosa could build roads through
her county and both counties could
improve their schools, give longer
terms and pay better salaries to their
teachers as your paper editorially re-
marked recently, but in the line OF
education, the strictest economy has TO
be resorted to, as the school boards
have only one piece of cloth TO make
suits for all sizes. and everywhere the
educational interest must be skkuped

Tariff Reduction
And the President.

President Taft was determined that
the Canadian reciprocity bill should be
passed and he won without any real
opposition because he was backed by
the solid Democratic strength, but he
seems to be willing to have the help OF
the Democrats without being willing to
reciprocate with them when they pro-
pose carrying the tariff reduction pro-
gram farther.
While he has made no official state
ment, those near to him say that he
will veto any bill tampering with the
tariff schedules before the tariff board
reports. which will not b. before the
December congress, if it reports at
that time.
There may be some consistency in
the presidents conclusions, but we
cannot see it that way. If the reci-
procity bill is tariff reduction and he
wanted 1t to redeem the before-elec-
ton pledges, then a step farther would
only serve to benefit the people more.
The Democrats of the house are
unwilling that the president shall have
DpPOAAuhANy " NCbO lAAC SChdNO SONAT
promise wool bill for it is partly pro-
toctive bill. and he might have that
as an excuse, but want him to either
sign the house one or veto 1t in order
that the house may have a clean
rrecord. which It deserves
OF the many critical times Of his
tenure of office there has not been a
more critical position. He must either
admit that he is not in favor of tariff
reduction and that the reciprocity fight
was one for political pull. or he must
displease the majority OF his party and
practically kill its chance for success
In the next election.

from an industry Of this kind could not
be better stated than is done by tho
Times-Union. and. the part that Il
pleasing is that when facts like these
are put before Jacksonville people
they, rich and poor. put their shout
ders to the wheel and get what viii
benefit Jacksonville.
Now, The Journal would like to see
cotton factory running day and
night in Pensacola We are in the
heart of the cotton section Of West
Florida and Alabama where is grown
thousands of bales of cotton. In this
regard we are better situated than
Jacksonville and a factory here would
be a better paying proposition for
there is enough cotton raised in this
vicinity to supply one large factory
with the railroad haul eliminated.
Pensacola is a cotton port already
and would be made a much larger one
If the proper pressure were brought
to bear to make 1t so.
Cotton factories are not gold mines
to the stockholders but they do pay
kOOQ QlNluEtAdS anu NAAC A0A AANSAS
business men of the Carolinas and
Georgia do not hesitate to put their
surplus money in them. But, as the
Times Union explains, the dividends
that are paid on the investments are
only small part Of the benefits and
the pay rolls that amount to thousands
benefit everyone in a city.
Pensacola should have a cotton fac
tory.
There is only one way to get 1t.
Concentration Of energy, determine
ton and funds is the only sure way to
get big things, and until our people
realize this our sister cities will get
what they go after while we only
dream and plan. The awakening has
taken place and preliminary steps have
been made when ten thousand dollars
yearly has been pledged and paid to
the Commercial Association, but to
make that investment bring in interest
we should work some too.
There is enough idle money in PEN
sacola and nearby towns ITO build a
cotton factory of $4,000 spindles. The
Journal does not suggest that one man
nor a dozen men finance a proposition
of this kind, but IL leaders in the finan-
cial circles would take the initiative
and the matter be pushed by the Com
mercial Association the necessary
funds would be forthcoming in a short
time. Every business man would
realize what the scheme would mean
to him. and would be glad of the OPP
portunity offered.
Pensacola Is going to be a big city
and it devolves upon her citizens to
undertake big things, and just at this
time, cotton factory would be a great
asset TO the prosperity Of this section.

SUGGESTION FOR THE
BRIDGE COMMISSIONERS

Editor Pensacola Journal.
I notice that there is quite a con-
troversy over the proposed bridge
across the Escambia river OF course
they all want it at their respective
places, viz: Bluff Springs, McDavid
and Molino. But what the commits
sioners want to do is to build the
bridge where it can be done with the
least money and give farmers and au-
tomobile people equal accommodations.
The writer held conversations with Mr.
Andrew Bowman, Mr.. Lambert and
other farmers near McDavid a few
days ago and they asked him to write
The Journal and explain the advan-
tages of this place, known as the old
McDavid ferry (or Bogia place., two
miles south Of McDavid.
The swamp at this place on the Es-
Gambia side is high solid plateau land,
like land that projects from the wire
grass to the river stream, with pos
sibly two or three lagoons to bridge.
A three-foot embankment will give &
dry road the year round, the swamp
being less than two miles wide at this
point, while on TIE Santa Rosa side
the river runs near the wire grass,
giving Santa Rosa county the same
advantage as Escambia county would
have If the bridge was built at Nc
David, and il would cost Escambia
bridge to the river stream Of what IL
would cost Santa Rosa county to get
to the stream at the present McDavid
ferry.
The bridge at this point will be
about the center of the west side of
the farming section of Santa Rosa
county, giving the farmers nearly equal
access TO the railroad shipping points.
and the automobile people will have a
direct route to Mobile and points west
while it would be less than an hours
spin farther to Pensacola II the bridge
was built at Molino. If the honorable
board OF commissioners Will have a
survey made at Bogia Point you will
find that the bridge can he buflt $5,-
900 cheaper than at any % the other
proposed points, which is s~ally better
for all concerned than a $1,000 public
subscription.
am thoroughly acquainted with
these facts, having lived at Bogia
quite while, and have hunted squir-
rels on every foot of the swamp around
the old McDavid ferry, and have talked
the bridge proposition TO the citizens
on both sides Of the river for the last
three years.

not far from stating that there are
about nine thousand men. white and
negroes, in Escambia county that are
subject to poll tax outside OF age ex-
emption, and about three thousand
registered voters; and I would assert
Santa Rosa has about the same ratio.
Therefore the numerical in citizenship
does not figure in revenue for either
county.
The upper end OF both counties de-
mand to be recognized in the matter,
and IL our Representatives in county
affairs think not, We Of course VIII
have to look up our old blue-ba ok
Webster's speller and refer to the boy
up the apple tree and insist on his
coming down.
Leave the question to three, six or
any number Of disinterested judges on
both sides of the river, who are &C
Quainted with swamp and river. the
judges to be selected from different
sections of the county, and they can
select a point for the bridge upon the
considerations enumerated heretofore.
Everybody will then have no room for
complaint, and perhaps a little longer
captivate some rapid traveller in his
horseless carriage to become one in
our midst, though in some cases he
has not much to spare in land invest
ments after buying gasoline and re-
pairing punctured tires.
We hope that the proper investiga-
ton will be made, then we can call for
a surveyor If need be. We have a
good many miles Of good road in this
county and outside OF a club axe and
stakes and experienced men, do not
recollect seeing a surveyor in any way
laying out a road. We can locate a
bridge as we'll as lay off our roads.
Hence, let US be sure we are right, be-
gin right, and then go ahead.

"Siek" Soil.

"Siek" Soil.
1t has been many years since a
Matching season has been so backward
as this year. The records of this year
show. In many localities, a season
without spring weather or spring in
fluences for lettering the conditions of
poultry. More complaints have been
heard than ever before, perhaps, re-
lative to the low fertility, weak vitality,
and non-hatching ability of eggs.
More chicks have died in the shell dur
ing the season of incubation than ever
before. All this can be traced, per-
haps, to the lack of management and
care Of the breeding stock.
During the past years a great deal of
interest and attention has been given
to studying the question of soil poison
| ing for poultry. Some of the highest
authorities in handling poultry have
decided that the greater part of the
ailments that come to poultry kept in
yards result from poisoning by tainted
soil. No other danger IL so fatal to
them as the presence of tainted soil,
whether inside Of the buildings, where
the fowls roost, outside where they
run about during the day, beneath the
outdoor brooder or the hen coop, or in
any locality where young growing
chicks or laying hens are kept. I'm
| doubtedly there is more danger from
4
contagious diseases. Blackhead in elr-
keys, cholera in poultry, roup and bowel
complaint in old fowls, are usually
caused by tainted soil. White diarrhoea
Is propagated in 1t and yet it is a
most difficult task to convince any one
of faint in the soil where his" poul-
try is kept.
Some OF the best informed investi-
gators of the world have been gather
| ing information relative to the poison
/ Gus influence of tainted soil. They
have exposed healthy fowls to such
conditions, and post mortem examina-
ton and other careful tests have shown
that tainted soil is the cause of liver
disease, gapes and many other fatal
| complaints. In England France and
| Belgium this Is called sick SOIL" and
recent Investigators say that such con-
ditions exist not only in small run
Always. but in open fields, barnyards
| hogyards, sheep pens, and in many
other places where livestock and poul-
try are kept. These investigators en-
phasize the fact that II livestock and
poultry growers would clean up, move
| or change their buildings and cult
vate the soil beneath and about them
at least once in every two years, they
would have better health among their
fowls and animals and better crops as

FLORIDA FARMERS
AND THEIR WORK
The Potato a Profitable Crop.

The Potato a Profitable Crop.
The modest potato is not sufficiently
taken into account as a producer of
profit Cor the man who tills the soil.
We hear about the romance Of
Wheat, the kingly rule of Cotton and
Corn, the commercial dignity of Oats
and Alfalfa, of Barley and Rye, and
we count them as sources Of great
wealth for those who make the earth
their servant.
But, granting to the grains and for
ages the credit that Is due, there are
wide stretches of land in Florida pro-
ducing cash yields from potatoes that
make the average grain production of
states up north appear exceedingly
small
And there are so many more acres,
Of the same kind, that have not yet
been given a chance to show what they
can do, that the money making posi-
bilities Of Florida, as far as potatoes
alone are concerned, cannot be esti-
mated.
The potato is staple food, and no
regular meal is complete without po-
tatoes in some form.
A Hastings dispatch Of May 10 to
the Times Union says: John Nix &
Co. have just filed one of the most re-
markable orders in the vegetable line
ever received in Florida. A Seattle
firm ordered three carloads Of Irish
potatoes, which are to be shipped to
Alaska, thereby gonig from one remote
possession. That the fame of the
Hastings potato is Of a permanent ma
ture was never better illustrated.
Volusia county has grown a fine crop
Of spring Irish potatoes, and the
truckers have Melted from $3.50 to So
per barrel. The crop has brought
quite a sum of money to the growers,
and the Record congratulates every one
of these fortunate potato growers. An
other will be grown in the fall, plant
ing about September 1. the crop coming
In the middle of November, before any
possible frost to injure the maturing

Peas, sparrows and a Hoodoo.


rogue, is superstitious. Some time ago
an old negro gardener taught me this,
and how to use the fact in saving my
early peas. Uncle Ben says 1t will work
every time, and / have tested II to my
own entire satisfactio
The garden peas and sweet peas are
among the very first things tc come up
in the garden in spring, and the spar
rows think their tender green sprouts
are delicious! After having had three
successive paintings eaten or clean TO
the ground, I was ready to give up In
despair. l had breathed out threaten
ings and spread poison, but the spar
rows, day after day, poised themselves
daintily on my brush trellises and
nipped OFF the peas.
Then old Uncle Ben took charge.
Jest give 'em white strings to run on, "
he said, land de sparrows won't light
near EN-" He fixed stout poles, four
feet high and ten feet apart, in the
rows of newly sown peas, stretched a
wire top and bottom, and with a ball
of white wrapping Irvine in his hand
wound the Irvine UP and down over the
wires, crossing it to make a lattice
work. The sparrows never went near
that trellis.
In the south negroes stretch white
Irvine about a watermelon patch to
ward off birds. The crow is especially
wary of white string so placed.
suppose the sparrows regarded Uncle
Ben's pea trellis as some sort Of
snare, but Ben said 1t is hoodoo and
