JACKSON COUNTY MAN TAKES
ISSUE WITH JUDGE PORTER
Editor Pensacola journal:

Editor Pensacola journal:
I note Judge Porter's letter in your
paper of the 26th. The judge is a
friend of mine and a man for whom
have a very high regard, but his
opinions have become warped from
his long utilization with Stand Pat
Republicanism and we all know when
an old board gets warped it's hard
to nail it to a new fence.
When I see the old G. o P. plum
tree blighted and bare and hear the
walls of her worshippers, am re-
minded of the old lady who. being ex-
tremely fond of wine, eagerly seized
an empty wine jar by the road side
cried: "Ah. what tender memories
cling around the instruments of our
pleasure"
The Judge complains about cheap
sugar. Now. there are a great many
Of us who are rejoicing about cheap
sugar. Sugar is a necessity. but when
the Stand Pats had the reins. we were
very careful TO dip with a small spoon
and dip once only. AS for the quota
tons from the Louisiana Sugar
Planter''-well. YOU know the hit dog
always howls."
Our farmers up here shouldn't be
worrying about disposing OF their sy-
rup at a good price if they put up a
first class article and put it in a neat
attractive package for most of US
young and old like to sop when we
can get good syrup, and I think some
thing is badly wrong with the sugar
producers of this country if they can't
compete with the poor little old Gu
bans with their wooden plows and
oxen and the heavy freight they have
to pay to get the sugar here. But
the judge woefully mixes syrup and
sugar as if they were one and the
same thing.
As go along through our great
county Of Jackson here. I notice, now
and then, fellow trying to make a
living on a poor sand ridge and COM
pete with the great majority Of our
farmers who plant their crops in good
rich soil. Now, my good friend, Judge
Porter, would hardly suggest that the
government place a tax on the pro-
duce from the rich farms or furnish
free fertilizer to the poor farms so
the fellow on the sand ridge might
raise his price on his stuff and thrive
by special privilege, nor would he be
likely to demand that the county send
out hands and dig up the nut grass
from a few Of our farms in order that
the owners might better compete
with all our other farmers who have
no nut grass. He would more likely
suggest that these farmers turn their
old poor land and nut grass patches
into hog pastures and move down
near Grand Ridge on a good farm.
Now, all this may sound foolish, but
when protection as principle is put

Farm Demonstrators
Is Doing Good Work.

That many farmers in different
counties In Mississippi and in differ
emit sections of the south are being
greatly benefited by the work OF
farm demonstrators will be readily
admitted by those who keep up with
the current news of the day.
It IS true that in some sections of
fhe country there are some farmers
VINO do not believe that new condi-
lions require new methods, yet it is
also true that others are being made
prosperous by following more modern
methods OF farming. No man, what
ever his business. ever learns it so
thoroughly that he cannot learn some
more.
! Most Of people welcome any infor-
NATION that might help them in their
Business. They have the right to de-
eide whether they can be benefited
or not. There are few men so profit
ctent in any line OF business that they
cannot learn something from some
one elsa and the man in any business
who Thinks that he knows 1t all and
that there is nothing for him to learn,
usually belongs to that self satisfied
class that stand still or retroRrades.
The man who would make progress
must study and learn more about his
business all the time, especially with
changing conditions.
In a Mississippi county the farm
demonstrators work has met with
such public approval that he is to be
furnished with an automobile so that
he can more easily visit different sec
tons OF tbs county. In reference to
the farm demonstration, the Vicks-
burg Post says:
Voluntarily Prof Ct1lkin has in
terested himself in the agricultural
club extension work, and as a result
OF his efforts fully 10000 acres that
would otherwise be idle are now I'M
der cultivation in Warren county by
the white and oolored school chill
dren.
ITO form the clubs, keep UP inter-
est and further the work. Prof Gull
kin has been forced to go to all parts
OF the county. Hts friends thought it
no more than right that he should be
furnished with means OF transporta-
hon."
This IL the kind Of spirit and enter
prise that Is. going to make that coun-
ty. and every county in the south
where It exists, a tremendous pro-

the country, as far as education is
concerned. showing this by voting
$780, 900 bonds for schools. Miami
may soon rival St. Petersburg, and
become the banner school city of the
state-unless Pensacola decides to be-
come that city.
II civic pride and interest in the
aducation of the children Of the com
rountty did not induce greater atten-
ton to educational matters, and bet
ter schools. the fact that Pensa cola's
school system keeps many winter Wis
itors from coming here, may give
some weight TO the question which
has so long been agitated.

into practice 1t means the taking of
money out of some of the peoples
pockets and putting it into the poe
kets of somebody else who hasn't
earned 1t.
AS with sugar, so with everything
else we eat, wear, or use otherwise,
and the judge throws down the gaunt-
let to -protectionists, hence this
letter. 1 don't propose to string out
a whole rig-ma-role about long
tons or how many spoonfuls of sugar
each person in the L. S. puts in his
coffee and all that. But the Judge
throws q slur at what he calls the
efforts of the Democrats to reduce the
cost of living and then writes a great
long article complaining because the
cost of living is being reduced. Let
the good work go on.
Yours truly.

ASKS JUDGE PORTER SOME
QUESTIONS REGARDING SUGAR

Editor ensacola Journal:
beg space in your valuable paper
to ask Judge Porter, of Grand Ridge,
few questions anent the sugar in
dustry.
If we use 70 pounds Of sugar per
capita as the judge says, and on &C
count of free trade sugar drops one
cent per pound, the consuming public
saves $4,000 900 per year.
Now who is more entitled to that
sum, all the people, or a few men in
Louisiana and Florida.
Does northern fool q quote the
judge, or any one else for that mat
ter. deserve any sympathy when he
puts his money in an artificial indus
try, which is dependent on politics for
its profits and loses?
Does not the judge think the Amer
lean Sugar Company has something to
do with the low prices of cane now?
What is the judge the more inter
ested in, raising cane or buying syrup
to be sold to- the Louisiana refiners?
Is cane the only crop that the Grand
Ridge farmers can raise? And is
Louisiana a one crop state?
When sugar is free and the judge
and his neighbors have quit farming
or gone to Cuba where sugar cane
grows regardless of politics, some real
farmers will take their rich land and
show the world that melons, corn,
beans, hay, hogs and cows can be
profitably raised on it, and that beats
cane or any other one crop staple.
However I notice that syrup raised
and canned by one of the judges
neighbors, (Mr Nelson of Sneads),
sells readily around here for sixty
cents per gallon. How is that Judge?

COMMISSIONERS RETURN
 FROM WASHINGTON CITY
Had Been There to Appear Before Supreme Court. Franchise Tax Case of Cotton Belt Involving
 Claim of About $30,O00

Little Rock, March 3.-Tax Com missioners David A. Gates and Epps Brown have returned from Washing ton, D. C., with their special counsel Henry Rector, where they appeared before the Supreme Court. The fran chise tax case of the Cotton Belt, in volving claim by the state of about $30,000 for taxes, interest and penal ties, is involved in the suit which was submitted on appeal.
 Upon the outcome of this suit de- bends the right of the state to collect a franchise tax from corporations do- ing an interstate business, and a con siderable annual revenue is involved. The Cotton Belt has been the only one that has resisted it. Arkansas is said to be the only state that has just such law, although other states secure practically as much revenue by other means.

Citizens of Little Rock, Argenta and Pulaski Heights Win Victory over Southwestern Telegraph

Little Rock, March 3.-The citizens of Little Rock, Argenta and Pulaski heights have won a victory against the Southwestern Telephone and Tele- graph Company
 The company had announced raise in the rates for telephone service. and at once vigorous protest went up from all over the city. Indignation meetings were held, and finally a spe- cial committee consisting of represen- tatives of the various city govern ments and commercial organizations was appointed to confer with the rep resentatives of the company.
 A compromise was suggested that the residence phone rates remain as they are, but that the proposed in crease in the business phones be made This was submitted to General Mana ger Hiss, who came to Little Rock to meet the citizens and officials, and he in turn submitted it to his superiors in St. Louis.
 Monday Mayor c. E. Taylor receiv- ed official advices from St. Louis that the proposed compromise had been accepted by the company. This is considered a great victory, as it is generally conceded that under the terms of the franchise granted ten years ago the company had the legal right to make the increased charge, and even more.
