 FLORIDA AND ALABAMA INTO. ANOTHER STATE

MONTGOMERY, Ala, h'eb. 2.-Cre- ation of new state farm west Florida and southern Alabama is ad- vocated by Senator w. H. Naples of the First senatorial di-trict of the Florida legislature. Senator Naples, visiting Montgomery yesterday, said that he would present a resolution to the Florida legislature in April asking for the appointment of a commission to meet like body from Alabama for an investigation of the matter.
