The powerful addresses of the past

the earnest individual work OF the

the women and children. and the
subtle voice of conscience speaking
to the voters of the county-an have
been having their effect.
One month ago the Anti-Saloon
cause was more or less dormant Two
weeks ago it began to kindle enthusi-

the past two days has been watched
closely by the weather officials, has
probably passed from the gulf east OF
New Orleans, and may strike inland
at Meridian, Miss, according to It's
present course. Its appearance in
the gulf caused high winds and much
rain in PENSACOLA, but no damage to
shipping occurred. A wind velocity
of Al miles an hour occurred yes
terday morning shortly after mid
night, and again yesterday at 11:56
a. m, and wiTile a stiff breeze contin-
ued throughout the afternoon, it did
not attain a high velocity.
Passes Inland.
From all indications, the, disturbance
has passed from the gulf. Last night
it was near New Orleans, and it is
believed that the course will cause
it to strike near Meridian, Miss. The
disturbance is not of marked violence,
and is of limited area, consequently
it is not expected that it will cause
damage
Much Alarm.
The high wind of yesterday
caused much alarm in Pensacola and
the surrounding territory, particular
ly along the shore. The bay became
very rough, and in the forenoon re-
