In an address filled with witticisms
and sound truths, and calling forth
long outbursts of applause at frequent
intervals, the Hon S. A Roddenberry
of Thomasville, Ga. held the close
attention of a big crowd at the ar
mory last night, the Indictment
weather making it necessary to call
OF the meeting in Precinct 10, al
though goodly portion of the au-
dience at the armory was composed
of voters and residents from that pre-
cinct.
Very Convincing.
Mr.. Roddenberry was convincing
talker with a ready flow, of wit, and
probably no speaker ever heard in
Pensacola called forth a greater vol
ume of applause in the same space
of time Every remark was filled
with sound logic and the thorough IN
derstanding Of his subject OF his talk
was apparent to every listener. Many
telling remarks were made, probably
the most striking being that in which
he said, Open saloons are where
drunkards are made, blind tigers are
where they go after they are made"
A brass band furnished music for the
meeting before and after the SPEAK
ing, which lasted for shortly more
than an hour

right side of the prohibition question.
1t is for You TO determine which is
the right side. If saloons are pub
lie benefactor to the community, keep
them; If a danger to good citizenship,
abolish them. If they copduce to the
prosperity of the city, keep them; if
they are detrfment to the best in

them.

Besides the highly seasoned meats

thirty seven hogs. Under his
management the affairs of the
County Home are conducted in a
businesslike manner. There is an

Under the operation of the NEW

Thisis of utmost importance be-
cause of the harmful ingredients

to be the only baking powder made
of Royal Grape Cream of Tartar,
and this no doubt explains its
greatly increased sale here.

Blind Man Threads a Needle

Among the inmates of the
County Home there is ah old
colored man who is a very re-
markable character in many re-
spects. He has been all inmate of
the Hons for more than thirty
years, and, Notwithstanding Athe
fact that b. is totally blind, he
makes himself useful in maAy
ways. His chief duty is to draE
all of the water that'is consumed
on the place by man and beast.
The most wonderful of this old
darsey's achievements, however,
is bis ability to thread needle
and sew. He cuts his own hair,
shaves himself, threads the needle
and does his own patcbin'. That's
more than most men who have
two good eyes can do.
