SenSatiOnaliSm.

History will possibly name these
years we are nowpassing through the
Sensational Era" To excite atten
ton and comment seems to be the
sole aim of our public men and the
press. Even the staid religious bodies
are tinctured with the curse, and
follow in the footsteps of the frenzied
writer's and orators Of the present
Starting in an attempt to build up
newspapers through catering to the
viler elements in human nature, and
to secure notority by men who have
failed to attract attention in legiti-
mate way, sensatiOnalism has wormed
itself into our commercial and pOliti
cal organizations to that extent that
the fundamental principles of our
social, religious and governmental
structure are being rapidly under
mined.
If these Yilifiers and their utter
ances were confined to the publicly
degraded members of society, posi-
bly, less damage would be done
through their vicious efforts, but we
find leaders in commerce, college pro-
fessors, and President Roosevelt him
self, constantly emitting sensational
doctrines, and personal VapOrings,
that tend to bring reproach upon our
form of government, and destroy con-
tidence in much that our people nave
held sacred.
The Presidents friends excuse these
acts upon the plea that "He is honest
in his convictions. So was Napoleon
honest in the belief that it was his
duty to crush the powers of Europe
and build up a NapOleonic Dynasty
1t mattered as little to him, as it does
to Roosevelt, what might result from
his dictatorial promptings. In Roose
welt case they are the acts of an
cratic, arrogant, self made man OF
the world, a moiler of religious belief
a trickster in politics, and danger
Gus leader in craftsmanship.
Sensationalism and craftsmanship
have nothing in common. The first
is the antithesis of the latter. Great
ing excitement rarely ever betters
society or commerce. Daily enema
lions on every imaginable subject,
domineering statements to the people
tend to create a fictitious and unde-
sirable condition in business, society.
and politics.
Even in our boosted free and in
dividualized America, the tendency
is for the lesser lights to follow the
example set by the Chief Executive
of this great Nation; States are there
by embroiled in destructive and pro-
titless controversies; business is
deranged, and a guerilla warfare
inaugurated upon public and private
rights that is becoming as demoraliz-
ing and damaging as are conditions
attendant upon actual warfare. 1t is
high time that the masses began to
assert themselves and put an end to
this menacing danger, ere, as Shake
speare says
This imperious man will work us all
From princes in to pages"

TOmpkinS.

On the west side of the north part
of North Bay is the little community
known as Tompkins. Several years
ago Mr. Tompkins put up a saw mill
at that point which was operated by
him until it burned down last year
There is quite a settlement in that
vicinity and some good farm lands.
A mercantile business is now carried
on there by Mr. j. Porter.

Value of Lands.

Value of Lands.
The lands about Gay are some of
the best for farming purposes in this
country. They range from hard wood
hammock, to heavily timbered lands
under laid with clay, and are capable
of producing, with proper attention,
very large crops of corn, cotton,
sweet potatoes, and some Of them fine
tobacco. At Mr. Gays home there are
some of the heaviest bearing orange
trees in this region, and in the Worlds
Fair year he raised peaches that had
no equal in the United States. With
the location of one or more railway
stations near the south shore of
North Bay, in the vicinity of Gay,
that section will rapidly settle up,
and become a very imnortant portion
of our county.

holdings at present amount to about
10000 acres. He was the first man
to manufacture and ship naval stores
from this bay, and has been first and
foremost in all efforts to improve this
section through securing railway
facilities, and bringing in good class
of settlers.

William Lotion.


Among the early settlers on North
Bay, probably living west of the DR.
Booth place, was William Lotion,
surveyor, and man of note and in
telligence, who nearly one hundred
years ago fOresaw the value of this
bay as harbOr, and began to exploit
the same, and start work on such I'M
prOvementS as would, if it had not
been Tor his untimely death, have
long ago made this, instead of Pensa-
cola, the port for the north east Gulf
coast.
Mr. LOftin was one of the prOprie-
tors of Old StJOseph, but disagreeing
with his partners as to the prOpriety
of trying to build a town at that place,
came to Saint Andrews Bay, bought
lands on East Bay where Peter Par
ker now lives, and also on North Bay
as noted. In writing of the early
history of East Bay some time in the
future we shall give a more extended
account of this aspiring and vigorous
! pioneer.

Another big cargo of cotton was
cleared from the custom house yes
terday, when papers were issued to
the British steamer Craigendoran,
which arrived here about ten days
since, and which went out late in the
afternoon with fnll cargo of cotton
for Bremen.
The cargo consists of 1907 square
bales and $50 round bales, with Il
valuation of S468 ,939.
The Craigendoran is the third YES
sci to clear from Pensacola during
the past month with cotton, and it is
probable that two or three more now
taking on such cargoes will get away
before the month comes to a close -

Arm Broken at School.

Ruth Devinney, the little daugh,
ter OF County Commissioner Devin'
ney, suffered fracture of the arm
above the elbow Monday while at
school ..in the country. She and a
girl friend were riding the pony to
water, an animal that had been rid
den to school regularly, when some
thing happened to displease the
animal and the girls were thrown
off. The second child, Serena Steele,
escaped without injury, but Ruth
fell in way to break the bone of
the arm. The member was promptly
cared for by physician and the
patient is doing nicely though natur-

Hunter Is Drowned.

Burdened by the weight of his
hunting suit, William Weilminster,
owner Of the Elk restaurant, 1916
Seventeenth street, Denver, was
drowned in Andrews lake, near
Barr, this county, at o'clock Sun
day morning.
While padding over the lake
hunting for ducks in leaky boat,
Mr.. Weilminster the sole occupant,
found himself sinking. Hampered
by suit of canvas and heavy rubber
boots, he was unable to keep himself
above the surface. although an ex-
pert swimmer. While the water
poured over his head he realized that
further fight for his life was useless,
he shouted farewell to those on shore.
Good bye," he shouted, "I'm
sinking and can t save myself. I'm
going down."
The heavy fog over the lake pre-
vented his companions from reaching
him.

Do Not Crowd the Season.

The first warm days of spring
bring with them a desire to get ou1
and enjoy the exhilerating air and
sunshine. Children that have been
housed up all winter are brought out
and you wonder where they all came
from. The heavy winter clothing
is thrown aside and many shed their
fannels. Then a cold wave comes
and people say that grip is epidemic.
Colds at this season are even more
dangerous than In mid-winter, as
there is much more danger of pneu
monia. Take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. however, and you will have
nothing to fear. 1t always cures,

AULT'S THIRD FIRE
Another Conflagration Narrowly
Averted Sunday

United efforts of the citizens of
Ault preyented.a worse conflagration
than either of those which devastated
the business section within the last
six months. The fire broke out
shortly before O'Clock Sunday
morning in the one-story frame
building occupied by j. S. Westfall
as secondhand store. 1t was dis.
covered by Night Watchman Fry,
and by the time he reached the
building the interior was mass Of
flames. The building and contents,
valued at 5000, are a total loss. In
an adjoining frame structure Is the
Ault exchange Of the Colorado Tele-
phone company, in which the oper-
/ ators live. Mrs. Morrison and her
sister, Miss McIvors, the operators,
were awakened by the fire and es-
capped with their personal effects
The apparatus and movable furniture
of the telephone company were taken
to the street, and Ault was without
telephone service until in the after
noon. One side of the telephone
building was badly burned. Both
buildings belonged to Postmaster R.
l.. Pence, on which there was no in
surance.
The prevailing belief is that the
fire was of incendiary origin, the
motive ascribed being either pur.
pose to destroy the town or the act
of some irresponsible person who has
a mania for fire.

A Glimpse of Peckham.

| Peckham, twelve miles south OF
Greeley, is a little cluster of busi-
ness houses and homes which is the
center of a fine farming country,
developed for the most part, and in
its business proportions Peckham is
certainly on the map. The country
is we'll watered and productive, and
it would probably be 4 surprise to
those unfamiliar with the country to
know the bulk of shipments made
annually from this little market
town.
C. F. Keyes, of the Keyes Mercan-
tile company, came here seven years
ago, the creamery business being
the original trade in which he en-
barked, and he has built up fine
trade in the various lines demanded
of a country town. He has 4 general
store, an implement house, a cream
cry, devoted especially to cheese
making, a lumber and coal yard, and
enjoys the confidence of the country
tributary and an excellent trade.
He is also postmaster for the neigh
borhood though the Lasalle route
angles into the town
c.. Il. Youker has been a partner
in the business for some months but
