About Eight Miles of Road
Bed Graded, and Rails
Are Here.

Rapid work is being done in the con-
structiOn of what is known as the
Beach Haven electric road, which is
to extend from the tracks of the Pen
sacOla Electric Company at Palmetto
Beach to what is known as the Beach
Haven tract of land. The road is
being constructed by the syndicate
owning the property.
During the past few days three car
loads of 50-pound steel rails arrived
here for the company, and it is stated
that another shipment will leave the
factory within ten days. Cross ties
have already been placed along the
eight miles Of roadway graded.
1t is said that the company will not
at present use electricity as a motive

gasoline engine to furnish power for
the cars, which viii connect with the

TOWN PROSPEROUS
UNDER PROHIBITION

The following has been received
from Jackson, Miss, dated Aug. 16,
1907:
With reference to the prohibition
campaign now being waged in your
city, l can truthfully and without fear
of contradiction by an unbiased per-
son, say that it is the salvation Of any
community that is cursed by the
demon" as your fair city is. Not
only does it cleanse the city Of an
undesirable business, but it also i'm
proves the morals of the people. And
best of all. it helps to build a CIT
and make it prosperous and desir
able place to educate children both in
morals and enlightenment.
Jackson today is the most prosper
Gus and the best city morally in Mis-
sissippi and prohibition is RESPONSE
BILE for it, notwithstanding some folks
statements to the contrary. OF course
il took some years to win the victory
we have. but it's beneficial effects and
moral influence was felt at once, and

forward pass or tripping or hurdling
by the side that did not put the ball
in play in a scrimmage should be pen
allied fifteen yards.
In order to more clearly settle the
point about the rights of a side on a
fair catch, it was enacted that a man
should be regarded as having an op-
portunity to make a fair catch when
it was possible for him to reach the
ball before it should strike the ground.
In order to prevent signaling by
one man and a catch and run by an
other, it was legislated that if one
man of the side signals his intention
of making a fair catch, and then an
other of his side, who did not signal,
makes the catch, this player may not
run with the ball nor be entitled to
the privileges coming from fair
catch, but the ball must be put down
at the point where he caught it for
a scrimmage by his side.
All questions of hurdling were put
within the Jurisdiction of the referee.

Length of Game Increased
by Adding 5 Minutes
to Each Half.
FORWARD PASSING RULES AXE
ALSO ALTERED, BUT VERY FEW
MATERIAL CHANGES HAVE
BEEN MADE BY THE COMMIT
TEE. "a

The new football guide for 1907
containing the new rules, as revised
by the rules committee for this sea-
son, made its appearance Saturday.
The guide is full of information on
the game, a partial list of the con-
tents comprising a review of the past
season; reports On the game from all
sections OF the United States; Presi-
dent Roosevelt's address on football;
schedule of games for 1907; list of
captains and coaches for 1907, etc.
The rules have not been materially
changed Among the alterations are
the following:
An increased length Of the game.
Owing 10 the fact that it was found
rather less exhausted than in the old
game, it was determined to inrcease
playing time another ten minutes by
adding five minutes to each half.
1t was voted to continue the method
of two umpires, but to- define their
duties more specifically, so that one
would aid the referee in decisions
down the field. This one is practically
an assistant to the referee, and is
called the field judge. The other,
generally speaking, has control of the
decisions that belong to the lineup.
The ten-yard rule is preserved ex-
actly as before, that innovation hav-
ing met with almost general approval.

thing like mass plays, and forced the

desired
Forward passing has been altered

risky to use it on the first and sec

! III case the forward pass strikes the
ground before striking a player on
either side, the same side retains pos
session OF the ball by losing fifteen
yards IN distance. When the forward
pass is essayed on the third down,
however, and IL strikes the ground,
without striking a player, or is other
wise made illegally, the ball must be
surrendered to the other side exactly
as formerly
in order to cover a point upon
which there was some discussion last
year. the following legislation was en-
acted. That lineman may carry the
Dali, provided he does not leave his
position in the line until the ball is
put in play.

date of Aug. 16, 1907:
Publicity Committee,
Pensacola, Fla.
Dear Sirs: Yours of the 14th to
hand. Replying, l will say that Hat
tesburg has not had open saloons for
perhaps twenty years. Her growth
has been phenomenal; the financial
condition is very good. We have a
bonded Indebtedness of about $780,
600; the city owns its own water
works, We have just completed near
~ three miles of paved streets; we
will soon have five splendid school
buildings completed; we are just COM
mencing to build a large crematory for
the destruction of our garbage; our
sawmills and other Industries per-
haps have the largest payrolls of any
city of like number of inha bitants in
the country. We have four fine bank
ing institutions with good capital stock
and surplus; our tax levy is Z IL
mills On a rather high valuation of
property. We think we have the very
best city in the whole country, none
excepted.
Now, in regard to saloons being a
necessary adjunct to the town, no
such necessity exists, and you do not
have to have whiskey sold in your
town unless you want to. The laws
of Mississippi are adequate to sup
press the liquor traffic, and if you will
elect men to office who will enforce
the laws, there is no question about
prohibition prohibiting. We are not
entirely free from blind tigers" in
!HattieSburg, but in the past six
months We have made it so very in
teresting for them that you could
scarcely find one should you come
here and search diligently, and we
propose to make it interesting and
more interesting until we route the
ferocious beast entirely, which. l be-
heve, we will be able to do in the
very near future.
If there is anything else you would
like to know about our city and about
the liquor traffic, / shall be glad to
give you any and all Information l
have relating thereto.
With best wishes for your sue
cess In your undertaking, | am.
Yours for humanity,
(Signed) ]. d. DONALD, Mayor.

Pensacola Has Never Had
High License,

high License
We hear considerable about high
license in PensaCula, and many peo-
pie no doubt really think that that
isywlrat we have.
Nothing could be further from the
truth. The city has never levied
more than 5000 license on the liquor
business, and $500 could hardly be
considered hicF1s anywhere. AS a-mat-
ter of fact, it is probably lower than
that levied by any other city of its
size in the country.
Even little Guffport, Miss, has just
raised the city license from $500 a
year to $4,000. Tampa is, going to
raise the license to $1,000, but in
Jacksonville the liquor interests pre-
vented an increase to more than $500.
The question is. will the liquor inter
ests have the same success in Pensa-
cola?
There is now an ordinance before
the city council proposing 70 increase
this license to $1,000 per year, and
that increase sho,nd certainly be
made. Nine out of every ten citi-
zens prefer the $1,000 license to the
s2e0' license, and these same nine out
OF ten citizens will not be. content
with any halfway measure.
The barroom interests would, of
course, prefer a $500 license to a
$1,000 license, but the city council
should remember that this license is
not to be levied, fortthe benefit of the
barroom man, but IN the Interest of
The city
More than that, the ordinance pro-
viding' for the restriction and regu-
lation, of the barroom business must
be one that will hold water and that
is calculated 70 stand all lega! tests.
In the event the county goes dry, the
ordinance will, OF course. be useless,
but in the event it. goes wet, the peo-
pie want a license ordinance that can
not be knocked out in the courts.
The responsibility is on the coun-
ciI-let the members of that body
make no mistake.

night. But the devil, expecting to be

catch the cat and thus thwart the de-

the cat passed on its errand the devil
attempted to grasp it. but only succeed

wave Of prohibition is sweeping the
south. There are today fewer saloons
south Of the Potomac river than in the

there were 100000 people when the
city voted prohibition. Today. the

saloons went out. Georgia has just
voted the saloon out. In Mississippi.
there are only six large cities, and
three Of these are wet and three dry.
