VOX POPULI.
SUGGESTS BRIDGE AT THE
HEAD OF ESCAMBIA BAY

Pensacola, Fla, July 1, 1911.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
I beg to submit herewith a sugges-
ton as to the location of the bridge
to connect Escambia and Santa Rosa
counties.
AS no one has suggested bridging
the head Of Escambia Bay instead of
the river. beg to submit a few figures
showing who will have to stand the
majority of the expense and who will
be most benefited by the bridge.
Escambia county's total assessed real
estate valuation is s7,336,600 Of this
amount the real estate lying within the
city limits is assessed for $3.50, $50,
while the real estate lying outside of
the city is only assessed for S1,1S6, 240.
BY these figures we find that the city
people are paying over four times as
much as the people in the country, be
sides the above figures are the 1910
assessment and the 1911 assessment
will show an increase of about 5000, 900
on the city real estate, while that out
side Of the city will be practically the
same as 1910.
These figures being true of Escambia
county and the city of Pensacola, there
will most likely be the same situation
in Santa Rosa county and the city of
Milton, but possibly not so great
contrast.
Now that we have found out who
will have to pay the bulk Of the ex-
pense, let's see who will be benefited
by the location? If it is put at Media
Vtd or above there, the people at Mil
ton, Milligan, Crestview, DeFuniak or
below will have a great deal further to
go than If at the head of the bay, but
on the other hand the people living in
IT Of
at Jay and east along the new rail-
road running out from Holt can more
easily drive south and cross at a more
right angle to Pensacola than can the
people at Milton and below drive clear
up to McDavid, or above, and cross and
turn directly back to Pensacola. They
might as well go to Mobile or Mont
gomery.
The bay at the point where the L.
G. n. railroad crosses Is about 21-S
miles with a depth of 10 feet at the
deepest point and many places only a
few feet deep.
We must all admit that driving
piling in salt water is bad on account
of being bothered with the teredo, but
by creosoting the piling and putting
terra Gotta around them they can be
protected from the dreaded teredo.
The approach and landing at the
head of the bay is far superior to that
of any point on the river, and the
building of a trestle will not be much
more expensive than that of cutting
and building a road through a swamp
like the Escambia river has at some
places that have been suggested.
AS no one had brought up the sub
ject of bridging the bay l think it
would be well for the commissioners to
at least give it serious thought and
consideration.
The writer does not want the people
living in the country to think that they
should not get justice in the matter
but the question is who pays for it
and who will be most benefited
Every mile north the bridge is To-
Gated makes two miles further to Mil
ton. DeFuniak, or the country below
and beyond.

November, 1884, when he moved to Co
lumbus, Ga. Here, later, he formed a
partnership with DR.. J. T. MOnCrief.
He was also elected city physician Of
Columbus, which position he held for
a number of years. After many years
of successful practice at Columbus, he
removed to Eufaula, Ala, where he &C
cepted the position Of surgeon of the
Central of Georgia Railroad Co. Eight
years ago, he resigned this position and
moved to Pensacola. Here his wife
died in 1903.
DIR. Mitchell was Of Scotch ancestry.
being a direct descendant of the his
torical Clan N Mitchell, of Glasgow, a
family distinguished for generations
for scholarly attainments in science
and letters. Unfortunately, in the fire
of 1905, which consumed the old Brent
and BlOunt buildings, several volumes
of the history of DR.. Mitchells family
were destroyed. However, a portion Of
this ancestral tree was in possession Of
other members of his family. These
records date back to 1876 in which
year Richard Mitchell. of Glasgow, was
born. William Mitchell, a son of this
Richard Mitchell, was the founder of
the Virginia branch of the Mitchell
family, of which DR.. Thomas Snead
Mitchell was a lineal descendant.
Thus it develops that the subject of
this sketch was not only a descendant
of one Of the oldest and most distin-
guished families of bonny Scotland, but
that his forebears were among the
earliest English speaking pioneers of
the New World.
When knighthood was in flower in
the sunny southland; when feudal lord
ships were the order in Dixie, Dr.
Mitchell was the owner of many slaves.
These he ruled. not with the knout,
but with kindness. In this connection
a touching incident that has developed
since his death is worthy Of recital
here, both as a coincidence and as
Illustrative of the love that still exists
between the few remaining old time
slaves and their masters who were hu-
name and considerable.
On the evening that DR. Mitchell
died, Sarah Mitchell, (the old Black

turned upon him, It will reveal simply
a lucky grandstand player.
There has been no excuse for the
people thinking Roosevelt such a great
man. Everything he did that pleased
the public had formerly been advocated
by others and he stepped in after the
fight was won and said Il did it."
About the only way in which he diff
fered from the other corrupt leaders
in the Republican party, was that he
was hypocrite enough to pretend that
he was a reforner when his real &C
tons showed that he was not.
He has been heralded as the original
trust-buster, but to name the trusts
that he and Mr.. Bonaparte busted"
could be done without speaking a word.
His close friendship to the trust
magnates secured for the Republican
party all of the funds necessary for
running expenses. He was supposed
to have been an enemy Of Wall street,
but in this, like other instances, it
was an attempt to fool the people.
Almost all of the investigating COM
mittees are showing up this great"
man and before the sugar and steel in
vestigations are finished it is likely
that the people will be given further
insight to the part that he played.
1t sometimes takes long time for
the people to realize what a man is,
and it must be admitted that Mr..
Roosevelt has fooled thousands with
the bare facts staring them in the face,
but the time is here when the great
reformer and near-preacher is to be
shown up In his true light.

c. Z. Pleas, of Chipley, sends to The
Journal a photo of six tomatoes grown
by ]. G. Morris, near Chipley. The to-
matoes are placed side by side and a
two foot rule is laid across them, the
measuring a few inches more than
two feet. The tomatoes were brought
to the market by Mr.. Morris and were
not selected ones. He did not know
that they were to be exhibited, and it
is said he has larger specimens in his
patch of about one-eighth of an acre
This is Mr., Morriss first year in Flor
ida and his other crops compare favor
ably with the tomatoes. This is just
one of the many farmesr who have
moved to West Florida where profit
able vegetable crops may be grown
every month in the year, and the
sooner the farmers realize the posi-
bilities of this fertile section the better
off they will be.
