POLITICS IN FLORIDA
SIX PARTIES WILL HAVE OUT FULL
 TICKETS.
I've DemOcrats are Running for Cong gross in the Third Distrtcf--- Scarcity of Oysters Causes
 Disappointment.

Pensacola, Fla, Oct. 6.-(SpeciaL)-- With six parties represented on the ballot and with one party having two nominees for Congress from the Third Congressional District, the voters of Florida will have an opportunity Of making 8 varied selection at the general election next month.
 Certificates of nomination from the Secretary of State received by the County Commissioners here today re- veal the fact that the largest number of parties are to be represented on the ballot for the general election than ever before known, and that the Dem ocrats have two nominees for one of- flee. that of Congress from this dis- tFict. This is due to the fact that tn he Congressional Committee at one meet ing declared J. Walter Kehoe to be the nominee and certified the name to the Secretary of State. then the courts compelled the committee to meet and certify to Dannittee H. Mays.
 As no proceeding of any nature was brought to annul the first certificate, the Secretary of State was compelled to certify the two names to the vari- ous Boards of County Commissioners to be placed upon the ticket. .. .....
 In addition to the Democrats. the Republicans. Independents, Socialists, Peoples and Prohibitionists have nom- inees for various State offices, and in this county nominees for county of- fees.

ACCUSES OFFICERS
 OF CONTEMPT FOR COURT

Birmingham. Oct. e.-(Special. )--- Contempt proceedings have been insti- tuted against Sheriff E. L. Higdon. Chief of Police George Bodeker and Policeman Burge, on the ground that they violated an injunction against the opening of the safe in the place of George T. Howell, corner Twentieth Street and Morris Avenue.
 It is averr9d in the petition that the safe was opened in utter contempt and disrespect of the orders and writs of Judge A. o. Lane. and to insult the said judge in the discharge of the du- ties of his office and to expose him to obliuuy and to contempt" Judge Lane will fix the time for the hear ing.
 These proceedings grow out of the recent attempt at boring into safe in the soft drink establishment or George Howell on Twentieth Street by the Chief of Police and the successIul effort made along the same lines by inc Sheriff. Something like twenty hints of whiskey and some beer were taken from the safe after It was oored
 An attorney who has been retained hv the Law and Order League VIII take part in the defense of the men arainst whom the proceedings nave been instituted.

To Hold Fiffy-FRrst Annual meestns
 Of the Trustees.
 New York Oct. 6.-When the trustees of the Peabody Educational Fund as- semble tomorrow for their Nfty-nr annual meeting it is more than likely that final distribution of the main fund aeRreEating $2,500,O00 will be made.
 Furth ermore 1t has been practically decided that the entire sum will go to educational institutions of the South with the Peabody Normal College af Nashville as the chief beneficiary. This institution will receive s1.00o.o00 upon the proviso that the State of Ten nessee, Nashville and the county in which the collage is located. raise similar sum. As the terms of this agreement have been practically lived up to. little doubt remains in the minds of the trustees that the terms will be carried out.
 The remainder of the fund will be apportioned throughout the South. the bulk of 1t in all probability going to Maryland, Missouri and Kentucky, since none of these States have ben efited from the fund up to the present time.

Oxatera nre Scarna.

oystermen coming into Pensacola at the end of their first trip to the oyster beds of Escambia Bay, report that the biValves are scarcer this year than ever before known in the history of the oyster business, and that unless the takes are better on the next trip many of them will seek other points to engage in this business.
 The men report that during the win ter season sand and mud has been washing over the beds to. the thickness of several inches and has remained there such a length of time as to kill the oysters.
 AS result, all that is brought up with the tongs are shells. Several of the boats bring in only two and three barrels per day, with large crews, and as the wholesale price Is only $3.75 per barrel, the business will not be a profitable one, unless beds which have not been covered during the summer are found.
 Heretofore the oysters have been very plentiful in Escambia Bay.
