HER NEEDS
Things City Should Have to
Favorably Impress the
Tourist Element.

Editor Pensacola Journal:
The tourist season of 1907-S-the
season when the thousands of resi-
dents of the north who have means,
come south to escape the rigOrs of
northern winter time, is rapidly ap-
preaching.
While the prime object of vast
majority of these winter pilgrims is
to escape the winds and sleet and ice
and snow of their northern homes. a
very large percentage of them have
an EYE to windward' for propositions
that offer reasonable inducement for
the profitable employment of capital.
The undeveloped resources of Pen
sacola and Immediately surrounding
territory are well-nigh limitless, and
to accomplish this development all
that is necessary is an influx of new
people-new. energy, and more capital.
And how is this to be accomplished?
Certainly not BY Pensacola's hiding
her light under a bushel and keeping
secret on the inner circle of those who
already chance to be here the fact
that on the whole stretch of Gulf
coast from Key West to the Rio
Grande there is not a seaport compar-
able to Pensacola in any sense; GER
tainly not by reserving to Pensacola's
citizenship the fact that not anywhere
on the face of the American continent
is there a city so favorably located to
be made the commercial and indus
trial metropolis of its section as Pen
sacola is: certainly not by the citi.
Zens of PensacOla-her business men
and her laboring masses, sitting SUI
pinely down and waiting for the fact
TO be waited hence on the Dalmy
Gulf breeZes to the capitalists and
artisans of other states that not alone
is Pensacola great in possibilities and
prospect, but also that the agricultu-
raj, horticultural and forestry resour-
ces of Pensacola surroundings are
really undeveloped mines of wealth:
certainly not through business jeal-
ousies,> political feuds, or the habit
that some Pensacoliansi have fallen
into of damning good American citi-
Gems who have cast their lots here.
Invested their money here. and who,
as their length of residence permits.
dare TO exercise the most exalted and
sacred right of a freeman, viz: The
right to vote as his judgment and
conscience dictate is best for the
material or moral welfare of his
adopted home.
First OF all, Pensacola needs more
hotels. better and more modern hotels
to shelter, temporarily, men and
women Of means who would come

San Francisco, Sept 2S.-Squires,

Jack" Sullivan today in the nineteenth
round of a twenty-five round glove
fight.
, Squires showed little Improvement
since his last appearance, or since his
arrival from Australia, and had SuIh-
van been in first-class fern he would
have knocked Squires out sooner.
In the nineteenth round the Austria
liam was bleet4ng, and seemed weak.
Sullivan sent his right TO the jaw. and
Squires went down. staggering to his
feet after eight seconds Another blow
in the jaw sent h N down again. He
got up and was promptly punched
down again.
Referee Billy Roche then awarded
the fight to Sullivan.

as the men who conduct the turpen-

whose advent into Pensacola marked,
in the minds of PenSacola's fairest
men the real beginning of genuine

Despite an April snow storm, a good sized
audience attended the meeting of the Glou-
#oester County Historical Society at Swedes-
boro on Tuesday and listened to two inter.
estipg and instructive addresses.
T. C. .Atherhnlt, of Phila, member OF
the Bucks Co. Pa. Historical Society spoke
about the '.Moravian Activities in New
Sweden, " as New Jersey was then called,
during the early part Of the eighteenth cen
tury, which was particarly interesting to
Swedesboro residents as Moravian church
still stands few miles, south, near Harr:-
sonville station, which was dedicated in
1886, replacing log one dedicated in 1749.
Geo. B. MoCaltioner, of Woodstown, spoke
about The Indian at our own door, which
described the settlements Of the Lenni Le-
nape or Delaware tribe Of Indians from the
Maurice river to Timber creek and described
the dealings that the pioneer, John Fen
wick, had with them.
The paper showed the results Of an ex-
hanstive research and was replete with val
uaBle historical information.
David R. Bassett exhibited beautiful
display Of Indian relics found by himself at
and near his home at Harrisonyille station,
which shows that the region was faYorite
abiding place Of the red man.
A feature of the session was the atten-
dance of number Of the school children,
accoppanied by their principal, Miss Klock,
aud the information they received was equal
TO several days study in history.
