c.. c. Belts of Camp Walton, Florida,
who is in Birmingham in the interest of
the Birmont club, is enthusiastic for an

The Birmont is a hunting and fishing

ton of western Florida. he said
The Pensacola Journal recently de-
clared that western Florida was settled
and highly civilized while the rest OF
the state was a wilderness and before
Alabama was explored. But look at the
difference in development, in progress
and in business now. We find Pensa-
cola, with her God-given blessings, lag
ging far behind what she would and
should be if she had territory back OF
her on which to build.
Put the state of Alabama behind PEN
sacola, give Alabama an adequate sea-
port, of which west Florida has two,
unsurpassed and indispensable in this
world, and the widest imagination can
not conceive how Pensacola would BIOS
som out and spring to a leading seaport
of the world and in 5 years her popuIa-
ton would double; in TO- treble. and in
20 she would be a larger city, infinitely
greater than any city east of Galveston
