LAST NOTE Of
FLOATING DEBT.
City Yesterday Paid Its Last
Note to Pensacola
Gas Co.

With the payment yesterday of a
note for $500, the city of Pensacola
paid the last of the OLD noating debt,
which came as a legacy from the car
pet Dagger rule of years ago. The
note was held by the Pensacola Gas
Company, and with interest, amounted
to $3,5S7.50.
a When this note was paid the city
Became free from the old floating
debt which in 1905 amounted to about
$4,000. This was the first correct
statement ever made of the city in
debtedness, no one prior. to that time
knowing the amount the city was
due on any account. About five
years ago when the city was indebt-
ed to the Pensacola Gas Company in
the sum of $4,000 an agreement was
reached with the company by c. Mo-
reno Jones, then mayor, whereby the
Indebtedness was to be cancelled an
nually With the taking up of the note
yesterday the last of these papers was
redeemed, thus leaving the city free
from this debt.

Journal a few days ago said that in
the county judges court in Jackson
county, during the four years proceed
ing the success of the Prohibition
movement, there were docketed 426
criminal cases. They further said
that in the same court during the
four years under prohibition ending
August II, 1907 there were docketed
864 criminal cases. The nature OF
the argument tended to show that pro-
hfbition in that county tended to in
crease crime instead of reducing it.
THAT reminds me of a little story
Used to tell. A man had the grip
and was at a loss for cure for it.
Another man came along and told the
sick man to take a black cat, fasten
him to the foot of bed. take a gal
Ion of liquor, and drink it until he
could see seven cats. These state
ments of the liquor men make me be-
lieve they have been taking this grip
cure, and are seeing double.

guments may be all right, but the
examples they give are all far from
home; in fact, too far to allow Of veri-
f1cation or contrary before the cleo
ton. Now l will try and give you a
few facts from the territory around
here which you know so well and is so
close that my statements can be easily
verified.
Your neighbors to the east of you
are just like you in every way They
eat the same food, breathe the same
air and live the same kind of life as
you live. Many of tue towns have
tried local option, and not one has
died yet. -Four years ago Mariana,
in Jackson county, had red hot cleo
ton and voted dry. Now there ism t
a fellow in the city that will admit he
voted the wet ticket. The election
took place on Aug. %, hos. At that
time there was one bank in Jackson
county, having a capital of $25, 900.
Today that same bank has a capital
Of $4,000 and there are five other
prosperous banks in the county. Since
the election there have been eight
new stores constructed, all are now
occupied. as are those stores formerly
occupied by the saloons.

Experienced newspaper people will
readily admit that the classified col
umns of a newspaper are the most in
teresting. They tell many stories of
interest and Sometimes, nearly all the
time, they tell stories of profit. For
instance: A lady of refinement may
not like to see For Rent" or Board
and Lodging" or ''Unfurnished
Rooms" sign on the front of her
home. And yet, just how randy
the revenue from the rental of those
rooms may be, the world will prob
ably never know. The classified col
umns of The Journal solve this prob
lem. A small ad at an expense OF
$50 per month will bring in some
very desirable tenants Others have
made it profitable. Why not you?

ARMY OF CHILD WORKERS.
Pennsylvania Deep Shame Told Of
by Writer.

THE Blackness OF Pennsylvania" is
the title of a child labor article in a
recent number of the Woman's Home
Companion. and it is an entirely an.
propriate one. The material in pro-
cess of manufacture" seems to be the
chief thing in Pennsylvania. The ma
terial Of future citizenship is a matter
of lesser Importance. In 1906 a child
labor law was passed, and in the
third section Of this law It is stated
that no child under 16 may work after
nine o'clock at night, except that
where the material in process of
manufacture" is of a character which
requires work after nine O'Clock;
then, in such case, TO prevent waste
or destruction of said material" boys
of 10 and Ii may work at any hour of
the night, provided they do not ex-
coed eight hours in "a.
This exemption, says the article
which is published on the authority
of the National Child Labor Commit
tee, Of which President Roosevelt is
an honorary member, was inserted
in the law because the glass interests
in the western part of the state want
ed to work boys of IA after nine
O'Clock at night" The article states
further that Pennsylvania has as
many child workers engaged in manu-.
featuring as New York, Massachusetts
and Illinois combined, and that the
number is increasing rapidly.
