FEVER BEYOND CONTROL.
Pensacola Alarmed by Large In~
 crease of Plague Patients.

crease or Rtugue Entfent8.
 PENSACOLA, Fla, Oct. 9.-Eighteen new cases Of yellow fever have deveI- oped in Pensacola during the day, a large increase, attributed partially to the rigid inspection made by the citi- zens' committee. This body appointed one citizen to inspect each block. The inspection revealed many cases which had not been reported. All were among the lower classes.
 The prevailing opinion is that the fever is beyond control and that it will remain in Pensacola until frost. The efforts of the doctors are now centered principally in preventing a spread and keeping tnR number of cases as small as possible.
 No deaths occurred during the day, although there are a number of pa- tients in the hospital and other places who are expected to die before many hours.
 The obstacles thrown in the way of the health officials by ignorant parties has prevented the former from stamp ing out the disease and conducting the campaign against the mosquito as it should be conducted. As conse- quence there are now nearly 100 cases under treatment
 Many persons have left the city since the establishment of the detention camp by the marine hospital service. and more will follow, as the fever seems to be spreading to all portions of Pensacola.

commission on fedora tion of the
Methodist Episcopal church
and the Methodist church,

Elder Macon district is chair.
man of the commission. There
are five members from each
church.
The ultimate object is to
eject complete union of the
two branches of the Methodist
Episcopal church and obliter-
ate sectional lines. AS a means
to this end the two conferences
have agreed not to build new
church in a town where there
were esta blished churches of ad
equate capacity doing the work
of Methodism, At a meeting in
April the Methodist Episcopals s
decided to abandon Mexico and
the Methodist Episcopal
church, South. agreed to aban-
don Cameron.
This means in the former
place the Methodist will at
tend the Methodist Episcopal
church. South. and IN the latter
town those of The Methodist
Episcopal church, South, will
go to the Methodist church,
This process, it was agreed by
the conferences, should be per-
formed in pairs Where the
Methodists absorb their friends
of the South in one town, a
town must be found where the

Com mencemont Exercises.
The first annual commencement of
the Lamar Union hight school was held
at the opera house last Friday evening
The stage was beautifully decorated
with flowers, and In the rear on raised
seats was arranged the entire high
school, Members OF the Union high
school board together with the faculty
and speakers were seated nearer the
front. Tho entire arrangement gave a
most striking and attractive appearance.
Long before the hour set for the pro-
gram to begin, the house was filled and
large number failed to get even stand
ing room later.
The Lamar orchestra furnished the
music for the occasion, which was of
the usual high order. The graduating
theses were we'll rendered and greatly
appreciated.
Miss Nellie Cain, chose for her sub
ject, True Nobility, and the GRAFTON she
delivered clearly demonstrated that her
ideals are high and that her hopes and
aspi rations will lead to bright and
useful future.
Miss Minnie James brought to her
graduating evening a discussion of the
life of the great Roman orator and
scholar, Cicero. The interest taken in
the reading of some Of Ciceros famous
orations, caused her to choose this sub
ject. A high appreciation of Cicero's
character as we'll as a familiarity with
his life, was manifested.
John f. Parrish presented an Grafton
on "Education, the Key to Success" :"
That he fully appreciates the value Of
an education was clearly proven by this
effort. Some interesting figures were
quoted, showing that every day id
school is worth ten dollars to the pupil.
The commencement address by Rev.
o. w. Auman, dealt with Essen tials"
and was an able and well directed plea
for the application Of energy to proper
ends. Rev. Auman has the peculiar in
tuition to say just the right thing on
any occasion.
DIR. Sanford Bell, Of the State Univer
sity, presented the diplomas with one Of
his Enthusiastically able and interest
ing lectures. Tho Lamar Union high
school was particularly fortunate in
having DR.. Bell at this time, as his time
is very much taken up by similar oc-
cassions over the state.
The interest manifested by the
patrons throughout the Union high
school district promises bright future
for the school.
