Beach Combines.

Capt +. A. Witherill has been clear
ing off his lots here this week.
w. II. Parker began doing some
street surveying here on Wednesday.
Geo w. Ward, of De Funi a k
Springs, has been visitor here this
week.
u. b. Porter is getting the founda-
ton ready to erect building on his
lot on First street.
From so to $50 come in on every
train now days. There are many COM
ing to the bay with their families for
an outing, while others come pros
pecting.
M. j. ROsenstein, representing the
Pepsi-Cola Company, of Atlanta, is
making the rounds of the bay country
in the interests of his company this
week.
VIM II. Patterson, Vice President
of the Central Bank and Trust Com
pany, of Atlanta, with two sons, are
spending a few days this week on an
outing on st Andrews bay. They are
guests at the hotel.
The Hogeboom hotel is nearing
completion and will be ready to care
for guests very soon. This is a fine
house, well and conveniently located,
and should be able to handle large
number of those coming here who
must be housed and cared for.
The Manteo on Tuesday brought in
very large shipment of goods for
Russ Brothers new store. This firm
will soon be in readiness to supply
the whole bay country with some of
the choicest groceries etc. that were
ever brought into the country. Give
them trial.
Among the pleasant callers at the
PILOT office this past week was Judge
Lidden of Mariana, who is enjoying
an outing on the Bay, stopping in
one of the Doty cottages. The father
of the Judge started the first paper at
Mariana, and the PILOT is promised
some data from the Judge of those
early days, and of other items of early
history of this section of West Florida,
that will prove very interesting and
valuable.
Those who think no dwellings are
being erected here should make a
tour of these woods and they would
then have a different tale to tell.
Panama City is located in a most
magnificent grove of hardwood trees,
and its inhabitants accustomed to
their shade, and admiring their
beauty, do not care to have them cut
down. People coming here from
treeless towns fail to see the beauty
or advantage of the trees, or locate
the homes beneath them. But they
are there just the same.

THE MAILS.

Now that there is regular daily train
service from Dothan to Panama City,
and as been for a month, it was hop
ed that there would be a decided i'm
prOvement in the mail service, but
on the contrary it has been worse
THAI ever.
AS stated last week the mail is now
being brought some 46 miles on the
railroad, and when within 26 miles
of Panama City it is taken from the
train and sent across the country to
Bayhead, and brought from there to
st Andrews by water as heretofore,
causing a delay over the much de-
nounced route by way of Chipley and
Bayhead by team, from one to two
days.
Inspector ROege, who is now on the
Bay, says the fault lies with Mr. Steele
of the railroad refusing to sign a con-
tract with the government to carry
the mail south of Compass Lake. Mr.
Steele says he is compelled to carry
the mail whether he wishes to or not.
Between csc two contradictory
statements the people of he Bay
country in their mail service are be-
tween the upper and neither mill
stones.
If it be a fact, as stated by the gov
eminent inspector, that Mr. Steele will
not carry the mails, why were they
not kept coming by way of Chipley
and Bayhead and thus save this ex-
ira delay?
AS samples of the present service
Sundays Times-UniOn reached here
this Thursday morning. Tuesdays
Pensacola Journal came in the same
mail. Mail from Pensacola post
marked there the Sth, Cottondale the
9th, Compass Lake the 10th, reached
here on the a. m. Of the 18th. Over
four full days from Pensacola here,
wbs 1.-THE mail leaving there in the
morning should reach here at 4 D. m.
of the same day. Caryvillle mail
postmarked there on Aug 9th, Cotton
dale the 18th, Compass Lake the 9TH,
reached here Aug 10th, four DAYS
enroute. 1t takes about seven hours
to cover the distance by train.
Here is another striking example.
We have before us a letter post
marked at Pensacola Aug 1st; Cotton
dale Aug 3rd; Compass Lake Aug
3rd; Saint Andrews Aug 18th; Compass
Lake again Aug 9TH and received at
Panama City Aug Sth; eight days
between here and Pensacola. A
letter postmarked Riverside, Ala,
Aug 3rd; shows the following post
marks; SOpchOppy, Fla, Aug 4th;
Panacea, Fla, Aug 4th, Cottondale
Aug 9th, Compass Lake Aug 9th. and
Panama City Aug Sth.
These are but a few samples and
not exaggerated, out of days mail
Every day brings just such illustra-
tons Of the inefficiency Of the mail
service in this section. The rights of
the people are completely ignored,
and repeated reports of fragrant cases
are passed by in silent contempt.
The PILOT proposes to keep up this
agitation upon subject so vitality
important to the bay country, until
this shifting of responsibility, and
total neglect of our intereststs are
checked. This outrageous treatment
of our people has lasted altogether
too long.

Tuesday was candidates Day" at
Vernon, and an interesting session
was held. Many matters of import
ance were discussed and measures
adopted for the welfare of the Demo-
cratic ticket. 1t is to be hoped that
the candidates will pull together as a
unit, and it is presumed they will. y

OUR WANTS..

The PILOT is often asked these days
what would be profitable to invest in
here in business way. First of all
come and look the situation over.
There are many business enterprises
badly needed here, and it is possible
that with some you may be familiar,
and able to care for.
We need a machine shop, need it
badly.
We must have a store, or machine
shop, carrying boat SUPP lies, bat
teries, dynamos, repairs to gas en-
gines, etc. The lack of such an out
fit is costing the bay Eoatmen a very
large amount every day.
The Bay country requires laundry,
and Panama City is the most central
point to locate it. There is good
money for the first man who will
open such an establishment here.
Builders hardware, sash, doors,
roofing, plumbing supplies, etc. offers
most excellent opportunity to en-
gage in paying business at this
point.
Gents furnishing goods, suits, boots
and shoes, and all articles of mems
wear, would furnish a most profitable
business for a small capital.
Cooperage for the fishermen and
others would afford a good safe small
business.
The fish business is not as yet cared
for here. Any one with sufficient
capital, and having a knowledge of
the business, especially in selling the
catch in inland towns, can make good
money by at once engaging in such a
business here. With two ice plants
to supply ice for refrigeration and
railroad and express comp any to care
for the transportation, there would
be no difficulty in making good
money at this business.
a good bakery would pay here.
The present unreliable method of
getting bakery goods from Dothan is
proving unsatisfactory.
A good blacksmith could find
steady work here. This might be
united with advantage to a wagon re-
pair shop.
A drug store is one of the things
needed here.
At present there is neither doctor
or lawyer here. There is frequently
business for both.
There are goodly number of
grocery and feed stores here now.
The men who have opened them are
capable, energetic, and of sufficient
means to supply all the wants of this
point, and the bay country, in that
line. But among the things noted
above most any one should be able to
make a selection of a business that
would meet their ability and their
pocket books.

Need for his story.

A man OF a good name in London, who

ish a good story aEasnst himself says an
English paper. When the American boom
was on for promoting companies with
British capital 90 buy up American con
Germs he Travelled through the States and
bought several businesses, which were
afterEard put on the London market with
conspicuous success
Thinking t1at- as he had been so sue
cessfuI IL trade and finance. he mast also
succeed in literature. he did as others
have dore-wrote a book OF travels. Eav-
ing a proper pride in his own work. he
expected to receive fairly good price
from his publisher therefor.
To his intense disgust. instead Of offer
iI z him q comfortable check for the copy
right. the publisher demanded that he
should pay him for the risk OF Issuing
the book II was clear TO him that this
was an attempt 90 take advantage Of his
position as a rich man without expert
euce IN literature he happened TO be on
friendly terms with q welI-kn0wl jour
nallst. and the happy thought occurred TO
him Jc send the manuscript to the great
Etterateur and critic with q bUsinesslike
inquiry. What DO you think I should get
for this?"
The journalist was equal to the occa-
sion. After reading the manuscript he
returned It with. the Iac0nic answer writ
