Bill Finlay and 1 met at the corner OF
Intendencia ad PaIafox street, and
Bill wanted to know of Felkel wheth-
err he was taking a large part in
things political, which Herbert stout
| ly denied. This brought up the sub
| ject of former campaigns over here
and Bill said he and Herbert certain
| ly put it over on me and the others
around here in 1912 when we were
supporting Woodrow Wilson for presi-
| dent.
| l have often wondered how the I'm
! derWoOd forces rolled up such a solid
vote at Pine Barren, and didn't know
| until yesterday. 1t seems that Bill
and Herbert got together and told the
voters out there that Woodrow was
for a no-fence law. and we. didn't
| have chance with our candidate.
Pine Barren has always been a very
unusual precinct politically. Palmer
and Buckner carried that precinct,
and 1 don't know of any other pre-
However, | am not stating this as a
fact, but it occurs to me that such
is the case.
Pensacola is becoming entirely too
we'll and favorably known for my per-
Sonal happiness. Mr.. T. F. McPher-
son, general manager Of the Perry
Lloyd Jones newspapers, certainly is
in love with Pensacola. He is here
today, and was here a few days last
month, and frequently during the day
he talks about wanting to settle down
in Pensacola for it exactly suits him.
Now don't like to have a man come
to Pensacola when he continually
.kalks about remaining here and TAX
ing my job away from me. Mr.. Nc
Pherson is a daily booster for Pen
sacola, as are all others connected
with the PerryLoyd Jones newspa-
pers.
George Riley, foreign advertising
manager of the Perry-Lloyd Jones
newspapers, is here also and Riley is,
like all others who come here, de-
lighted with our appealing little city.
He will spend all of his time telling
to the advertisers of the large cities
what Pensacola is doing, about this
being a summer and winter resort,
about the Satsuma groves, and all OF
the other good things that make
Pensacola and West Florida the ideal
place for tourists and homeseekers to
come. Very naturally such a terri
tory is desirable for foreign adver-
tisers.
Riley is one Of the fishing bugs al
ready, but I want him to get out of
town before he gets the fever too
strong, for he, too, might decide that
he ought to live here and draw my
salary.
W. P. Fields of Calhoun county has
been in Pensacola on a business visit |
Mr. Fields has represented Calhoun !
county in the legislature for two ses- !
sions, and he enjoys the honor of in
PRODUCING the bill in the house pro- |
viding funds for the monument mark |
ing the site where the Florida con-
convention was held at |
Port st. Joe. Mr.. Fields is a lawyer |
and enjoys an extensive practice in
Calhoun county.
While I am on the subject of Cal
houn county, 1 will take occasion to
say that it is about the finest section
upon the face of the globe. I was
talking with Uncle Tommie" John
son about Calhoun county and her i
people the other day. Uncle Tom
ME" has been making regular trips i
over there for the last twenty or
thirty years, and he says the progress
that has been made there in recent
years gives it an entirely different
appearance from what formerly was
here. He says the best roads to be
'ound anywhere are there, which is a
lard matter for me to believe. When
lived there only winding roads full
If roots and stumps could be found.
