BAD TELEPHONE SERVICE.

Complaints are numerous among
our merchants and other patrons OF
the Lead Belt and Pennington Tele-
phone Company because OF its poor
and unsatisfactory service, both To-.
cal and long distance. In its absorp-
tion several years ago of the former
Pennington Telephone Company,
which gave excellent service, the
present company secured Il monopoly
of the telephone business in this
county. II promised better service
even than the former company was
giving, and cheaper rates-neither
of which has been realized but the
service has been gradually getting
more unsatisfactory until complaints
are heard on all sides. Just where
the fault lies or what the remedy.
We are not sufficiently informed to
suggest, but the company ought to
bestir itself and try to give more
satisfactory service.

For the Benefit
OF West Florida.

The Journal likes the idea advanced
By the Pensacola Commercial Asso-
citation of forming a similar associa-
ton for all of West Florida. No one
can doubt that anything which benefits
Escambia county will to a certain ex-
tent help jackson, Calhoun and the
other counties of West Florida, and
What will help washington and Frank
lin will also help Holmes. Walton,
santa Rosa and Escambia county.
Realizing this the counties might get
together and do wonderful things for
the best part of Florida.
The Journal viii not attempt to
suggest what kind of an organization
can do the most good for this part Of
the state, but at this time will say
that there are two classes of people
which should be catered to, the geo
graphical location and the climatic
conditions pointing out these facts.
First of all the farming element
should be sought. This class of peo-
pie build up the country and create
an era of prosperity quicker than any
other class of people, and the re-
sources which are at the hands of the
farmers in this part of the state insure
them a better income than they are
getting in other states.
second. the winter tourist travel
ought to come to West Florida as Il
now goes to East Florida. but condi-
lions must be. met before this travel
will come as it goes to California and
East Florida.
West Florida is probably the most
attractive part Of the south in its nat
uraf state, but it needs the hand OF
man to make it more attractive. Es-
Gambia and Santa Rosa counties are
situated on the shores of some Of the
prettiest bodies of water in the world
and there is no more attractive spot
on the continent than picturesque St
Andrews bay. All of the inland towns
and cities could get hundreds OF win
ter tourists by building attractive
hotels and joining with the Other
cities and counties in bidding for thi.
travel
Millions of dollars are annually lef
in Jacksonville and the cities OF tn,
East Coast by the winter tourists. anG
many of these tourists who come t.
Florida for the purpose of staying fol

nent residents and make good AMI

The County Commissioners
Should Act at Once.

several days ago The Journal called
attention to the fact that there ought
TO be new voting precincts made III
some of the city precincts which are
so large that the ballots cannot be
counted in "a reasonable length of
time.
The commissioners no doubt see
the need of this work and win surely
attend to it unless other things at
tract their attention and they forget
this matter until it is too late. For
this reason The Journal again calls
their attention to the urgency OF
making the changes in order that the
precincts may be divided before the
primary elections are here.
It cannot be done in a week or a
month. and for this reason The jour
nal asks that the commissioners at
tend to it at once.
