The City CounciI.

special meeting of the City Coun- ell was held tonight at which time the ordinance granting certain rights to the railroad project from Atlanta to Pensacola was read. This ordinance came from the franchise committee, which held meeting two hours before the Council for the purpose of hearing complaints from persons who did not like the idea of the railroad depot site being given near their residence prop erty. This protest was filed at the time when the ordinance was first read. and the prospects now are that the road will have to get another route if 1t comes to this city at all.
 The franchise committee had a meet ing two hours before the Council was called to order and the various grounds for objecting to the entrance of the road were cited. It Is expected that those will have a bearing upon the ordinance which will be anything but acceptable to those behind the project and this is regretted by the general Pensacola public.

DREDGE GOES TO WORK
WILL REMOVE SAND FROM PENsA-
 COLA BAR.
The Movement Authorized by Captain Cavanaugh of MOntgOmery-Of- fer Made by l.. & N. for
 Steamship Line.

Pensacola, Fla, Aug. 9-(Special )- Dredging on Pensacola bar began to- day, the big government sand dredge from Jacksonville, the "Winyah Bay" having been secured to do the work. This important matter was brought
 about by the Pensacola Chamber of
 Commerce, aided ably by Captain J. B.
 Cavanaugh of Montgomery. Ala. who
 is in charge of the engineering works
 at the mouth of the harbor. Captain
 Cavanaugh has given his personal att
 tention to this matter. and a number
 of craft have been sought to do this
 work
 There Is great importance attached
 to this work. While there Is no im-
 mediate prospect of the local bar be-
 coming in any ways an impeachment to
 the largest of steamships. it is known that the constant beating of the tides
 has collected lot of sand on the bar.
 This was made known to the commer-
 cial men of the city and 1t was at once
 seen that something would have to be done Captain Cavanaugh was inform ed and he went to work at once.
 The contract is for the removal of 50. 900 cubic yards of sand. which will give a depth at low water of B feet. thus enabling the largest vessels in the Gulf to enter and depart with the greatest of safety. This great depth also enables the largest ships of the navy to run in and out with ease. and | tfie value of deep water was made known effectively last year when the cruiser Columbia, one of the largest of her class, entered this harbor at night The dredge arrived up to the docks last afternoon and took on coal and supplies Early this morning a tug took her in tow and soon the work
 which means so much for the port. was begun Some weeks will be required
 to finish the contract, but this will be in plenty of time for the great ship
 ping business which Is expected tc open up with the cotton season.

TRADE AT HOME.

During hard times people ask for
and obtain credit from home mer-
chants to an extent that makes it
hard for merchants to carry their Gus
toners. When times get better Gus
toners should show sheir appreciation
OF favors by spending their money at
home. Some people imagine they can
buy goods cheaper at the big eastern
establishments and do SO without
giving the home merchants chance
to duplicate prices The money sent
out of the country reduces the circu-
culation that much and creates stag
nation at home, instead of supporting
home institutions and building up
the country. Give the home mer-
chants all your cash trade and you
will enable them to compete with
anyone, grade for grade and at the
same prices you buy east with freight
added. Try it.
When people settle up new coun-
try the merchant is among the first
wanted, in order that the settlers,
with their small stock of cash, can be
accommodated. The merchants. as
well as the settlers, risk their all in
the new venture and while the coun-
try is growing to be self supporting
the merchant often Injuries his own
credit to accommodate people who have
no money to pay for the necessaries
OF life. Later change comes. A
good crop and good prices makes some
people forget past favors; they begin
TO seek eastern department stores to
spend their money and let the home
merchant who fed them when they
were broke, pass into forgetfulness
until the next crop failure, when the
''cat comes back' for more credit.
But 1T isn't the way to build up a
new country. The eastern house paws
no local taxes, subscribes to nothing.
but only drains the country of its
cash that ought to be kept at home.
while the home merchant is left to
handle butter and eggs at loss.
Build up the country towns and in
crease the taxable property and you
lessen the rate of taxation. Put the
home merchants in cash trade po-
sltlon to compete and they can sell
you goods at prices that will not pay
you to patronize eastern concerns. In
snort, patronize the merchant who
has favored you and don't blow in |
your money to eastern concerns that
never return nickel in the way of
taxes OF subscribe to any public en-
terprise.

county was among those passed. The
assessment there is less than that
Of Montgomery, although the popu-
lation and acreage are nearly the
same and it is less than half that Of
Maury county, where the population
is less. The board will doubtless at
tempt to ascertain a reason for this
condition. The total increase in
the assessment over the State will
be twenty-five million dollars. Shell

amount of increase, the assessment
in that county being more than So
100000 in excess of the assessment
for 1902, which was $46,f95,7O5,
The board will hardly be able tc
