CAPITALISTS ARE
AFTER FLA. LAND
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

Bombay, August LA party rep
resenting northern capital is quietly
seeking to corral from one to two
million acres in Holmes and adjacent
counties. No uniform price has been
agreed upon by the various holders.
Prices are now ranging from 81 to
$3.50 per acre, owing to location and
character of soil. Some of the small
tracts nearby are being held at from
$40 to SIS, in some instances this in
Guiding the timber.
The many truck gardens have
proved that this soil will produce
equally as well, if not better than
South Florida, with excellent season
for profitable marketing following the
early crops of South Florida. Dem
onstrations prove that potatoes, both
Irish and sweet, will yield well, also
corn, cabbage, tomatoes, melons and
other varieties of vegetables.
Pecan growing is becoming popu-
lar and we have several productive
trees within the city that demonstrate
they are valuable. The rich soil OF
the swamp land is being developed
for fruit growing, also experiment;

LIGHT BIDS ARE IN
HAND; NO GASOLINE
LAMPS IN FUTURE

Bids for street lighting have been
filed with the city clerk, but as there
is no reason for making contract
until the expiration of the present
one now in force, it is expected that
1t will be several weeks before any
thing like a contract is made up.
The Welsbach Street Lighting Com
pany gave notice in a communication
in the clerks office yesterday that
the present contract which the COM
pany holds with the city expires on
October 1, and that it will not be re-
newed. This is taken to mean that
the same company will bid on the
Welsbach lights as usual, bur will not
offer any figures on what is known as
the gasoline light. On a good many
streets where there is no gas main,
and especially in the outskirts, street
lamps are maintained by gasoline for
fuel.
1t was stated yesterday that at an
early meeting of the city commits
sioners the lighting contract will be
called up for consideration, with a
view to getting the matter in proper
shape for early disposition. The
present contracts hold good until Oc-
t0ber 1.

of this city, started today, placing on
the market the new cola drink, Lime
Cola.
Commenting on the new drink Mr..
Deal, of the Lime Cola Bottling Com
pany, says: after a very thorough
investigation of the claims made by
the great number Of cola manufac-
turers we finally decided to bottle
Lime Cola and make it our leader. It
is true that this popular drink has
only recently been put on the market,
but its phenomenal success shows
that it strikes popular chord, and
that it is drink that has long been
wanted"

ROTARIANS LISTEN
TO DISCUSSION OF
THE CHARTER BOARD

A discussion of the proposed city
charter drafted by the charter board
featured the regular meeting of the
Rotary Club, held in the San Carlos
Tuesday. Max L. Bear, a member
of the charter board, informally out
lined the plan Of government, and
stated that it provides for what the
board believes will prove the best
government for Pensacola obtainable
at this time.
he said that while it was largely
compromise, it is the only form that
would be acceptable to all members
Of the board, and that the board be-
ieves it to be very good charter.
A general discussion by members of
the club followed Mr.. Bears talk, spe-
cial provisions in the charter forming
the topic of most of them. Particular
attention was given the election of
the mayor, his duties and obligations,
and as to the provision for provid-
ing for the present commissioners.
Explanation by Mr.. Bear was given
the questions raised by the discus
sions, who, in explaining the provision
for the three commissioners, stated
that the commissioners are taken care
Of because the board felt morally OBJ
| Igated to do so, although men could
no doubt be employed to perform the
duties which will be assigned the
present commissioners, at about one
half of the total amount of their sal
aries.
An analogy to the government of a
corporation formed the basis of the
explanation of the election of the
mayor by the council, Mr. Bear citing
the fact that the presidents of all cor
porations are chosen by the directors
and that the plan should work out
well in municipal government.
DR.. S. R. Mallory Kennedy read ar
expression from President Wilson ad,
vocating election by direct vote Of
the people.
G. e. Dobson favored the selection
of the mayor by the aldermen, but
said that they should not be limited
to residents of Pensacola, thus al
lowing the selection of the best quail
fed man for the position, regardless
of his place of residence.
The recall provisions in the charter
brought forth much discussion, am
particularly the status of the mayo
in the event of his recall. Mr.. Fishe,
said that under the new charter, tn,
mayor would continue to serve as al
alderman even though he should b,
removed from the Office of mayor.
Owing to the limited time it wa
impossible to discuss all features O
the charter before adjournment.
The report Of the Gulf Beach High
way Committee was received and &C
cepted. The committee is progressing
rapidly with its plans, and as soon a
specifications are completed bids wi
be received for construction of tn
road.
