Speaker John 4. Weeks of the Yer.
mont House of Representatives who was
defeated in the primary for the nomina
ton as Republican candidate for lieuten-

rumor that he is completely ruled by the

not become candidate for representa-

the man who was nominated bv the Re

1t is good news that the suspected case

has turned out to be typhoid fever. Dan
gerous as the latter disease is, it never
of the fact that the medical profession
knowing the conditions, is better able to
bring an effective attack, whereas con

comparatively little. The fact that there
is no infantile paralysis in North Dux-

CURIOUS BRIDGES.
Ono In Switzerland That Is Famed For
Its Root Paintings.

Its Roof Paintings.
Probably no town in the world has
such strange bridges as Srinagar, the
capital OF Kashmir, in India. The city
is built on the banks OF the river Jhe-
lum, which is crossed by many wooden
bridges lined with old and dilapldated
shops and houses with balconies and
lattice windows. Some OF these are
very insecure and look az If they might
at any time fall into the river beneath.
Timber has always been largely used
for building bridges, and the earliest
one OF this kind on record is that which
julius Caesar made across the Rhine
and which he describes In his Com
mentaries."
The rooted Rapellbrucke at Lu-
cerne is one OF the most interesting. It
crosses the river Reuss diagonally and
has 1l2 triangular paintings beneath
the roof, recording the heroic deeds Of
old Swltzers and the sufferings OF THEN
patron saints. In the midst of the IA.
pellbrucke stands an ootagonai tower,
which formed part of the Notifications
OF the town in the thirteenth century
The bridge was built IN 1888.
One of the curious and ancient bridges
in Europe is that at Croyland, in Lin
England, which is supposed
to date from the ninth century. No
road now passes over and no water
under It, IL consists of three pointed
arches, which meet In the center, and
the ascent is so steep that only foot
can go over It. Upon the
bridge is seated figure in stone OF

MORE TOURISTS
THAN EVER BEFORE
ARRIVE IN THE CITY

Tourist traffic to the south is
rapidly increasing according to C. H.
Mann district passenger agent for
the L. & N, who said that Pensa-
cola seems a particularly favorite
place this year for the northern wish
tors to stop and spend the winter.
Compared with the same time Of
other seasons, the number Of tour
lists to Pensacola at the present time
far exceed the number Of recent
years, and with the advancing season
and increasing cold in the northern
states, it is likely that the record
viii be maintained.
One reason for the increase is at
tributed to the growth Of the aero
nautic station here during the past
season and the present. Last year it
was always a source of interest to
the many tourists and it viii be re-
membered that practically all Of
them said that for this reason they
would come again and tell others of

ter and conducting maneuvers in the
harbor, additional attractions are as
sured for the visitors.

LUMBER CO. ASKS
Ice. FOR DECREAsE.
IN TIMBER HATES

The McGowan-Foshee Lumber Co.,
Of Falco, Ala, filed a petition with the
interstate commerce commission ask
ing that lumber rates from Falco be
reduced to the same rate as that from
Galliver alleging that the present
rate was unjust and discriminatory.
The L. & N. claims that the rate
paid from Falco is in accord with the
rates usually charged from points not
on its lines; that the Meow IN Foshee
Company pay the same rate as do
other shippers after their product
reaches GalIiver and that it is not
responsible for the rate charged by
the F. A. & G. from FaIco to CALI
yer.
The F. A. & G. running from Falco
to Galliver takes the position that its
rate is based on the actual amount
necessary to operate the road and
that any decrease would make it prac-
tically impossible for it to continue
to operate. About 10 per cent of its
total business is handling forest prod
ucts.
The testimony was heard oy Special
Examiner Bell from the interstate
commerce commission in Montgom-
cry, Ala, on Nov. 81. The complain
ant is represented by John II. Walke-,

MANY PEANUTS ARE
SOLD BY FARMERS
SPECIAL 70 THE JOURNAL

SPECIAL To THE JOURNAL
SCampbellton, Fla, Nov. 23.-More
than $4,000, has been paid to the
farmers in this section for peanuts
during the past few weeks. This
helps to make up for the no cotton
crop made. The farmers in this sec
ton are planning to plant very large
ly in the white Spanish peanut next
year.
Sixteen hundred bushels of the
white Spanish peanuts have been
shipped within the last two. weeks;
greater part of these has been
shipped to dealers in Georgia, for the
farmers there. They have come TO
the conclusion that they cannot raise
cotton and that peanuts are the best
money crop that can be grown here
or in their state. From 80. to 80
bushels can be grown to the acre and
selling at $10O per bushel, viii yield
a greater income than cotton.
E. A. Hinson has recently installed
a Jefferies lime crushing machine
and is now turning out crushed lime
rock. This lime is very fine for the
lands in preparing them for peanuts
velvet beans, oats, corn, peas and 9TH
er crops. He will be able to supply
any reasonable demand and the farm
ers in this section are using the lime
rock freely. The yield viii be almost
doubled where two tons of crushed
lime rock is used to the acre.
