This old for+' still rema ms and to

I understand were made near here in
1884. Jusx back of the old fort can
be seen tne old breastworks TO protect
our troops from the attacks of Indians.
On every side of this grand old fort
can be seen hundreds of holes in the
walls made by bullets shot from the
guns of the Indians.

VOx POPULI.
NOT SUITED WITH
EITHER PRIMARY LAW

Editor Pensacola Journal.
Being generous and progressive
enough to invite discussion of the new
primary law. we send a few inklings
which will show we are inclined to
"cuss" as well as discuss the law We
make a pull at the old law which we
have seen violated many time dur
ing our ten years residence here.
We have seen vote manipulators and
voters on the outside of houses at pre-
cincts making up their ballots Hard
ly ever see an independant voter most
all being poor men and subordinates
in some cases, some responding to the
beck and call of the precinct pay boss
others look to the one whom the "pri-
mary juice" man has appointed to
make his or their ballots
So where we have been the old pri-
mary law was not in force. And after
all the ticket was SO confusedly made
that even an intelligent voter did not
know where he was at in the marking
of the X. Schen1ing politicians fixed it
to suit the big purse and the big fell
lows. This is why men are mysterious
ly and surprisingly elected sometimes.
Well then did one of the king poll
ticians of the state come here from
Washington to show the legislature
ow TO make a grand and glorious pri-
mary law for this people who. we think
will not be so eager to rush the base
line when voting time comes. If there
were only two candidates-first and
second choice, the precinct manipulation
and voter would have an unchallenged
time But lots Of Office seekers, what
then? And what will the managers do
for supper and breakfast before they
finish counting out the votes? But
then there may be the steam roller
to eliminate all but the httest or
richest. It is coming to that any way
whether the new works better than the
old or not. We hope the ward healer
will not be left out and miss the good
sucking they have heretofore enjoyed.
Then the Office man Is so enormously
over paid II would be a pity if none
could share his prerequisites. This age
finds the steam-roller of the politician
crushing the life out or the common
people. The time for tide to go back.

Good Reports From

The Journal congratuiates It's ne1sn-

the marked development which is TAX

Of enterprise. progress and civic pride
which now permeates the citizenship OF
the Santa. Rosa capital.

serprfse. City waterworlks and sewer
ge. a bridge across the Blackwater,
an electric light plant. an opera house

road connection with Bagdad and IN
ADDITION it's fine moral sentiment and
its record for law and order. all con-
stft1rte a condition OF enterprise bust
ness and morals of which any cornInu-
nifty may very properly be proud.
Milton is also blessed with one of
the richest farming sections in the en-
tire south and with this resource back
of IL, the city cannot do otherwise than
grow and prosper.
When we get a bridge across the

will be profitable to both.

by not putting in permanent drain
