BIG TIMBER EXPORTS
sHIPME-.Ts MADE TO MANY FOR-
 EIGN LANDS.
The Lumber Industry in Pensacpia Has Been a Record-Bre During
 The Month of
 August.

Pensacola, Fla, Sept. 1--(SpeciaL)-- Reports compiled by custom house offi- | cials, showing the exports during the past month reveal the fact that the
 month was record breaker for the | year so far as the amount of lumber and timber shipped is concerned. over
 S0.o00 superficial feet of pitch pine went
 out from here during August to foreign { countries. the principal consumers be- | ing the United Continent, Germany, France and Italy although cargoes
 were carried to Spain. Africa and other | far-away countries
 The number. of vessels to enter, show ed a decided increase over the previous
 month, especially in steamers, twenty | eight vessels of this class entering, l ! tile ten sailing vessels arrived in port.
 The number of clearances also showed | an increase, thirty-six leaving here for | foreign ports, but the value of exports
 did not show any increase, owing to the | fact that lumber and timber, together with naval stores and phosphate rock. | composed the bulk of the foreign ship ments, and the valuations on such arti- eles are not high.
 l Suits aggregating $33,000 have been l brougLs against the Pensacola Electric
 Company as the result of a recent col 1ision ef cars on the Bay Shore Line.
 Three of the suits are for $10.000 each,
 and three others for $1,000 each. All of the parties with one exception reside
 at Fort Barrancas, aad were passengers
 on the upbound ? senger car. which
 was run into by a southbound freight.
 They allege that they were badly in- jured through the carelessness and neg | ligence of employees of the company,
 and ask compensation for the cost en-
 tailed and the suffering which they en- dured. The accident occurred two
 weeks ago and was one of the woIst collisions to occur on the railway. Lieut.. J. T. Bryan, of the revenue cut ter service, who h. been on detached duty for the past three weeks, returned here today on the cutter Winona. He.
 with other officers, have been searching for fugitive from justice in the vicin- ity of the Thousand Islands in South Florida. and although many were en- gagged in the search. the man succeeded in making his escape. The man. who is half Indian, is wanted by the De- partment of Justice, in connection with
 some pension frauds, but as he makes his home in the forests and jungles in that section, he has never been appre- hended, usually escaping by boat and gJing into the Everglades, and there 1 remaining until his pursuers give up
 the search.

An Object Lesson.

The new railroad which Mr.. H. II.
Rogers is building from the coalfleids
OF West Virginia to the Virginia sea-
board will be an object lesson. The
statement Is repeatedly made that rail-
roads in general are greatly over
capitalized. On the other hand, 1t IS
claimed by some of the financiers that
few railroads could be built and
equipped for the amount of their capt.
talization. The construction OF the
Rogers road wiz "throw light on the
discussion The Underwater road, or
the Virglnian, as 1T Is now called, IS
said to be the best constructed new
road ever built in this country. The
work has been substantially done, and
tho line has been made as direct as
possible, regardless OF cost Fart Vi
the line runs through the Underwater
section, where the country is flat and
the grade low, with few curves; anoth-
err part runs through the Piedmont
country, where hills are numerous, ano
still another sections cuts Its way
| through the mountains. The average
cost ought to be fairly representative
of the average cost Of railrohd con-
| struction in the United States, AL
| though the work is being done at
time when both labor and material:
are abnormally high.
The cost of construction of the VIZ
Einian Railroad will, of course settle
| nothing definitely as to the actual COS
OF the old roads, for they were pun
under other conditions, and then re
organized and rebuilt, and 1t woul'
be an impossible task to figure o"
lust what they did cost. But. II MI

The Amende Honorable.

In recent issue we called attention
to a statement in the American
Church Sunday School Magazine con-
corning the Pennsylvania campaign,
which did grave Injustice to General
Robert u. Lee and his soldiers. The
statement was made in n contribution
from DR.. William Wilberforce Newton,
of Philadelphia. The Times Dispatch
pointed out the error. and said that
DR.. Newton should correct 1t.
In another column we publish dis
claimer from DR.. Newton, which is SO
manly and chivalrous, and so satu-
rated with the Christian spirit, that
we are glad OF the incident which pro-
voked It. 1t is a Very beautiful tri-
| butte to General Lee, and 1t Is also a
tribute to the head and heart Of Dr.
Newton. 1t shows that Christianity
| makes brethren of us ALL.
Undoubtedly war Is hell" and Gen

| stances. General Lee was soldier OF

Lee. the Educator.

1t has often been predicted that wheh
the nation should have grown out OF
its prejudice 1t would erect a monu-
ment to the memory of Robert u. Lee
In the fulness of time tho proposal
came from the President Of the United
states In the following language:
"Such is the career that you gather
to honor, and hope that you VIII take
advantage of the one-hundredth ann
yersarv of General Lees birth by ap-
pealing to all our people, IN every SET
ton Of this country, to commetnotd.o
his life and deeds by the establish
ment at some great representative eau
cational institution Of the South OF
permanent memorial, that Will serve
The youth of the coming years as he.
ir the closing years of his life, served
| those who so sorely needed what lie SO
| freely gave"
The Presidents proposal is an In
SEPARATION, and 1t has now taken definite
| form.
1t is proper that the memorial should
] be at Washington and Lee University,
! where he spent his last days In teach
| ing the youth of the land, and we are
glad that that institution has been Sc
lected by common consent to receive
the honor.
1. The South mas commemorated in
various ways the service which Gen.
eral Lee performed as soldier and
| patriot, and the admiration and devo-
| ton Of her people are instructive. Were
there no shafts of marble or granite
no statues or tablets, his memory woulc
still be enshrined in the hearts Of hel
sons and daughters, moro enduring

Dowie.

Davies death had been for some time
exnected. In failing health for months
before his final overthrow at Zion City,
he was doubtless hurried along his course
to the grave by the humiliation or MS
downfall. Whether he could ever have
regained his remarkable supremacy
over the community which he founded
and built up must now remain a matter
Of speculation.
AS for Zion City, that unique settle
ment may hold together, and 1t may
not. 1t seems probable, in any case, that
the supernatural, mystical and clair
voyant aspects of its life will be hence
forward eliminated. But there seems
no reason why it should not live as an
Industrial community Of some impor-
lance.
Dowie was good executive. an ablo
