The Search-Light. BAINBRIDGE, FEB. 28, 1901. Vi.uaii)i .vnou r to lo*k aw .arm. Th.it is nn interesting situation mowing out of the proposition to annex to the state of Alabama the northwestern part of the state of Flurfil.i. Jnst now it h tlic leading topic of discussion in Tallahassee, in Pensacola and among the members of the Alabama legislature in session at Montgomery. Alabamians are, naturally, great* ly in favor of the acqdisitiou of this valuable addition to the epast line of their state. Again, the people of the strip of Florida to be annexed are heartily in fayor of the move. They are ambitious—those Pensaco la citizens especially. Pensacola is a great port, but ns a Florida port, with all the capamlists and the out siders and the politicians in the state working eonslantly for the devel opment of the East coist, they feel I heir claims for government aid in the improvement of their magnifi cent harbor have been ignored. Florida has but two represent atives in congress, while Alabama has eight. The Punsacolans think that they will stand better chance for securing recognition as a part of Alabnuia than they are now receiving as their due ns a segment of Florida. Whnt the Honda legis lature will do about the matter at Us approa thing session remains to be seen, but it locks to a man up a tree ns it the people of the section in question should be allowed to pass upon the question themstlves and that, if they are willing and Alalmma is willing, the rest of the Florida penninsula width lias treat eil tins end of the slate v^ith such scant affection ought not stand in the way of the marriage.—Atlanta News.
