ANOTHER ADVOCATE OF
SPLIT LOG ROAD DRAG
Century, Fla. June 81, 1914.

Century, Fla. June 81, 1914.
Editor Pensacola Journal!
The letter of Mr.. w. 8. Vincent
published in your issue of June 23rd,
regarding the condition of the Pen
sacola to Flomaton road and the use
of the Split Log Drag, is of great in
terest to me and, judging from com
ments I have heard, dozens of my
friends and acquaintance are equally
interested.
We people up here in the country
have been looking forward for years
to the convenience and enjoyment Of
a practically perfect road to Pensa-
cola There has been enough money
spent on this road to make it as near
perfect as need be but it's condition
today is worse than deplorable. 1t is
simply rotten.
There is no use laying this condi-
ton to lack of funds.
There IS one of two reasons &C
countable, or possibly combine
ton of the two, l. e. Incompentency
and indifference.
I make no apology TO the honorable
board of county commissioners or to
anyone. The facts are perfectly ap-
parent to any person possessing the
faculty Of observation and the CapaC-
ity to absorb details.
Mr.. VinCent's term Of Car wreck
ers", as applied to the culverts is
quite right If there is any reason
why culvert crossing should be built
several inches lower or higher than
the surface of the road. people who
are compelled to ride over the road
would be glad to know il. 1t would
also be of interest to know of what
special benefit to the public, with
due consideration for economy it is
to leave a bridge broken for weeks at

Now suppose Smith and Jones were
my candidates to win. I give them
my first choice votes and give Brown
and Robinson my second choice votes.
Brown and Robinson are elected and
my first choice candidates are de-
feated by the aid Of my second choice
votes.
Editor Caldwell has evidently not
read the law in this case Under his
own illustration. Jones is elected by
first choice votes and is therefore
eliminated from further consideration.
Smith who lacks simply one vote Of
having a majority of the first choice
votes must contest with Brown and
Robinson for the second choice votes
that were cast by the 400 first choice
supporters of Jones who has alrea dy
been elected.
If Brother Caldwell will now pro-
duce the final tally sheets. showing
how the second choice OF Jones's 400
first choice voters was divided almost
any bright office boy can make the
additions and declare the result.

CAS- a Man Thinks,
So Is He"

Thought, action, habit, character
destiny.
1t is to James. Of all metaphysiciana
perhaps the most quoted and most
| interesting, who gives the above Sc
quence. as indicative Of the bearino Of
| thought on destiny. And, whether we
| be dreamers or workers, whether the
most speculative in the realms OF
| philosophy, or the most practical deIv-
er in the marts of trade. If at all OBJ
servant, one must acknowledge that
thought does in great measure create
destiny.
We are all creatures Of habit. Some
of us prefer to walk, for instance, on
only one side of the street, we cross
at certain corners, we have certain
ways of administering all our affairs,
and in time these habits become so
fixed, that we perform the actions
more or less mechanically.
Industry, frugality. extravaganc
reckIessness are oftener than not
habits formed early in life, and in
later years become part OF oneself
ones character.
And character make or mars life.
This is indisputable. The man or
woman who, having built up character,
though the years, no matter what may
come, what storms of life may beat
what thunders of censure may ap-
pail, what lightnings of opposition
may flash, need have no fear of the
tempest. for the destiny of the man
or the woman who has builded on a
firm foundation, is like the house built
upon the rock.
And so philosophy brings as back to
scripture.
After ALL what does righteousness
mean, but doing right? And what does
doing right mean, but building charac-
ter?
This is what men and women are
put into the world to do. This seems
to be. as one grows older, the only
thing worth doing. To do the right
thing.
First the thought. then the action
then the habit, then the chara cter,
then the destiny. 1t is a wonderful
thing. and an appalling thing, when
we realize the truth of this
Teach children to think. Give them
good books to read, good thoughts to
carry with them Teach them to use
their minds.
How few Of us really do use our
minds. We maunder through life, like
men and women half asleep, most of
the time
To think. to act. to do, to be-these
are wonderful thoughts that the phil
osopher gives us. If we think good
thoughts, happy thoughts, clean
thoughts, kind thoughts, then life
should be worth living.
If we think mean thoughts unhappy
thoughts, base thoughts, malicious
thoughts. then life will be MISERABLE
according to James, who thought
much on life, here and hereafter.
He may have been wrong, but his
theories are worth thinking over
worth trying, at any rate

Twain's Rate.

Mark Twain went to just n auto
mobile show in his life. He went
with a Detroit friend. After he had
been shown the cars and other sights
the friend said: Come on owe here.
The greatest salesman in the automo-
bile business is working, and l want
you to hear him."
They went to a place where the
salesman was talking to a possible
customer about the merits of his car.
He was rafting outward SO fast that
Twain gasped.
"Sakes alive,'' said Twain in his
slowest drawl, If my publishers ever
heard me talk as fast as that man
does they wouldn't pay me 80 cents a
word or even 2 cents. They'd make
me produce words about a hundred for

RINGS OF AIR.
How 20 Blow Out a Lighted Candle
Twelve Feet Away.


The distance from which an average
man can blow out a candle rarely eX-
ceeds three feet. If he is an adept at
blowing smoke rings, however, a an
die may be e~xtinguished at twelve feet.
Of course the smoke isn't necessary.
An ordinary air ring viii do and has
the added advantage of being invisible.
Simply pucker the mouth as you would
to blow a smoke ring and expel air n
q quick. sharp amer. 1t takes a
good deal of practice to do it.
An easier way TO show the effect If
one is doubtful is to place a sheet of
cloth or canvas over the open side of
a box otherwise closed, making a
small. round hole in another side.
Then tap in a sharp manner On the
canvas and invisible air rings will be
produced. If the hole is pointed at a
persons face and the rings are made
he will feel them as they strike his
face. Only a few trials are necessary
to extinguish a candle at twelve feet.
To render the rings visible a smudge
may be burned in the box, or a small
dish of ammonia may be placed side
by side with a small dish of hydro
chIOric acid. the combined fumes of
these liquids making a dense smoke.
The explanation why one can put out
the candle at twelve feet is that the
energy of expulsion is conserved and
practically all retained in the smoke
ring. while a simple blowing has to
set In motion a whole stream OF air
and is therefore wasteful. Chicago

Scandal.

How is it that the evil which men
say spreads so widely and lasts so
long. while our good, kind words don't
seem somehow to take root and bear
blossom? Is it that in the stony
hearts of mankind these pretty flowers
can't find a place to grow? Certain it
is that scandal is good brisk talk.
whereas praise of ones neighbor is by
no means lively hearing. An %acquaint-
ance grilled. scored. deviled and serv-
ed with mustard and cayenne pepper
excites the appetite, whereas a slice of
cold friend with currant jelly is but a
sickly. unrelishing meat.-Thackeray.

The Males Have Pockets In Which
They Garry Their Young.
The kangaroo has always seemed to
have the monopoly of that convenient
way of carrying it's babies in a pouch.
but it has been discovered that a fish
has the same useful receptacle, which
it uses for the same purpose. The pipe
fish. as it is called from the length Of
it's jaws, has a pocket on the under
side of its body nearly half its length.
It is found in the male species only and
is the only part Of its body which is
unprotected by large fiat plates, which
take the place of scales in it's protective
armOr.
If a pipeish is taken from the water
and it's little ones shaken out Of the
pouch back into the water they always
seem either unable or disinclined to
run away. But if the father is placed
in the water again all the small fish
Immediately swim back into the pouch.
These curious little creatures have pre-
hensile tails, which they use to hold on

from being carried away by the tide.

golf course on one occasion accomp-
panied by an old caddie. His lordship
got his ball on one occasion SO neal the
hole that to play it was, as it appeared
to him, su%perfuous. So be simply tip
ped it in with the toe Of his boot.
The caddie 'revolted instanter, threw
down the clubs and looked Mortified.
When he found words to speak it
was to say, Hang it, me lord, gowf's
