but that the one acre plat upon which
the corn was grown is no longer a

be awarded another nice prize by the

Escannbia Should Send a
Delegation to Mariana.


Escambia county should be well
represented at the West Florida
Highway meeting at Marianne next
Thursday. Santa Rosa, okoloosa,
Walton and other West Florida coun-
ties through which the proposed high
way will pass, also should be repre-
scented. It is an important matter,
and the counties through which the
highway would pass If it is built ac-
cord;ng to the present plans, will be
greatly benefited.
Il is proposed to connect with the
Dixie Highway from Jacksonville,
bringing the road on to Pensacola.
The matter was discussed at the re-
cent meeting Of the West Florida
Press Association and committee
named to further the proposition.
This committee will meet at Mari
anna on Thursday, and delegates
from every county in West Florida
have been urged to attend. At that
time permanent. organization will
be formed and plans outlined.
Inasmuch as Pensacola will be the
western terminus Of the highway it
is q matter Of importance that .
good delegation go from Escambia
county. The railroad has made q
low round trip to Mariana and every
community should be represented.
That the highway has aroused In
terest in other sections is evident
from the following from the Quincy
Times:
1.-THE commissioners of Gadsden
and jackson counties have reached
an agreement whereby first-clas.
ferry service viii be maintained
across the river at Chattahoochee
each county to build good roads tt
the river. Owing to the great amount
Of work necessary on the jackson
county side that county will receive
! all benefits from the ferry for a pc
Rod Of fifteen years, relinquishins
this right before the expiration o.
the contract if bridge can be erect
ed.
with the river crossing problem
solved Gadsden county will soon b
called upon to assist in building ant
maintaining highway from ITALIA
hassee to Pensacola. The official rout'
has not been selected, but will yer.
likely follow the road from ITALIA
hassee, via Havana and Quincy, an,
one Of the commissioners is authorit,
for the statement that such rout
would only call for building eight ad
ditional miles Of good roads, whicl
will probably be finished before gen
eral work is started.

not be asked to construct hard SUI
face roads. The roads built SO IA
have been good but suffered becaus
the county had no repair crew an
machinery. This has been overcom
and all roads built will be kept i
I good condition.

mean much to West Florida and th
people in each county should becom

Little Talk on Politics
In the talk of state politics but
very little attention is apparently paid
to the race for comptroller. This Of

taxes for the entire state so far as
railroads are concerned; he is the
car of the state banking system, the
boss of the county commissioners and
the clerk of the courts; he is the head
of the finances of the state and the
sole Judge of bills against the state

accounts against the state is supreme

In the library are such treasures
as the Ashburnham Gospels, including

MURPHY, AS BOSS,
GIVES CUPID AID
Bronx Leader Named by
Tammany Power to
Wed Chiefs Niece.

When Ellsworth J. Healy was named
Tammany leader of the 35th Assembly
District, in The Bronx, three years ago,
those who knew the political situation
there said that here were social as
we'll as political reasons for the ap-
pointment. Some even said that
Charles F. Murphy had visions OF be-
coming related to young Healy more
closely than their Tammany associa-
tion was bound to bring about.
That there was a spark of truth in
the rumors, which caused the Bronx
Democrats to look upon the naming of
so young a man as Healy, and one who
had lived in the borough for so short a
time with a critical air, was proved
yesterday.
According to an announcement made
with certain amount of reluctance
Mr.. Healy is to be married on April IA.
And his bride-to-be is Miss May A.
Murphy, daughter Of the late John
Murphy and niece of Charles F. Murphy
himself.
Several persons we'll acquainted with
this city's politics recollected last Right
that in the spring of 1912. when Healy
became Tammany leader of the Bronx
district, that he was quite friendly with
Miss Murphy, but even they were sur
prsed when told Of the marriage that
is to take place. The engagement of
the young people was announced in
formally little more than year ago.
Miss Murphy, who is in her early
twenties. was at home. 309 East Seven
teenth Street, last night when Trlb-
une reporter called. Her brother and
a servant who answered the bell both
admitted that the wedding was soon ia
be performed, but when Miss Murphy
was seen and questioned she replied:
ooh. no You'll have TO wait quite a
while for such an announcement"
Later, she admitted. after a pause
that she was TO become a bride.
When an inquiry regarding her
fance'g whereabouts was made, she led
the reporter into the parlor and said:
Here he is. You had better ask him
about it,"
The prospective bridegroom said
that the ceremony would be performed
in st. AIMS Church. ll2 East Twelfth
Street.
Mr.. Healy succeeded William E. Nor.
ris, now on the bench at the Second
District Municipal Court of the Bronx
to the leadership of the Thirty-ffth
Assembly District in 1912.
Mr.. Healy is about thirty years old
and was graduated from Fordham in
1904 lie then went to the New York
Law School. from which he was gradu-
ated in 1906. After he left Fordham
he studied for a time at Columbia.
He is a member of the law firm of
Healy, Hammer & Cshill. whose offices
are at 2S04 Third Avenue, and lives at
23l5 Grand Concourse and Boulevard,
The Bronx.
Since he has held the district leader
ship, Mr.. Healy has built up for him
self the reputation of being one of the
strongest men, politically, in The
Bronx. 1t was through his influence
that one of his law partners, Ernest. r.
l.. Hammer, was named Public Ad-
rinistrator of The Bronx.
