Trades Journals, and the Press
generally, speak of the gradual re-
vival of business throughout the
country, and there are many indica-
tions that the South is sharing in this
return of prosperity.
While there is nothing in the way
of boom, the recovery is healthy,
and the New Year should see trade
in general gradually getting back into
normal channels, with its natural
growth and expansion.
This will mean more money in cir
culation, and will stimulate invest
ment in new enterprises, and enlarge
ment of existing ones.
Business men will be looking for
new fields, and the residents of COM
paratively undeveloped sections of
the country, will be on the alert to
secure the capital and settlers which
are waiting for attractive PROPOSE
tions.
We want to direct attention to the
advantages we have to offer, and
should be devising attractive and
effective forms of advertising, to
bring our resources prominently be-
fore the public eye.
Let all members of the Commercial
Club get busy on this subject, and be
ready to give their views at the
meeting on Saturday, so that we may
formulate some we'll defined plan for
work in this direction,

The steamer Manteo will make a di-
rect run from Pensacola to New Or
leans when the schedule is changed on
January 1. 1t was at first thought
that the steamer would come from
st. Andrews to Pensacola, 60 from
Pensacola to Mobile, and sail from
there to New Orleans.
1t will be the purpose of the COM
pany operating the steamer to give
direct connection between st. An
drews and New Orleans, and the
steamer will only make short stop
at Pensacola. On it's return trip the
steamer will make a short stop at
Mobile, and, coming on to Pensacola
will stay one day, then go to Panama
City.
The company is going to extend it's
railway line to Opelika, Ala, in a
short time, and make connection with
the line from Birmingham and Mont
gomery to Atlanta. Pensacola News.
Friday evenings Pensacola News
had the following on this subject:
"Mr. Geo. w. Purvis, vice-president
of the Atlanta and st. Andrews Bay
r. R., is authority for the statement
that his company will operate a
steamship line between Panama City
and New York just as soon as the
government dredges out the mouth of
the harbor so as to enable deep draft
vessels to enter st. Andrews Bay.
The project has been in the minds of
the officials of tie railroad for some
time, but has only recently been fully
decided upon. Mr.. Purvis was seen
regarding the matter last night by a
representative of the Evening News
and had the following to say relative
to the matter:
"It has been our dominant idea to
develop the country in and around st.
Andrews Bay and Dothan, Ala, and
for this reason we think it wise TO
have some connection with the great
northern cities. Just as soon as the
government deepens the entrance to
the bay we will establish a line of
steamers which will sail to New York
at short intervals, and make direct
connection with Pensacola via the
steamer Manteo. The project has
been in the minds of my associates
and myself for some little time, but
until now we have deemed it mex
pedient to say anything about it.
"We do not know how many steam
ers we will put on the line nor the
schedule on which they will run, but
the steamers will run at intervals
short enough to make the passage
between New Orleans and New York
by way of our steamers, practically
continuous.
1.-The only thing that prevents us
from going ahead with the project
now is that the entrance to the har-
Dor at st Andrews is not deep enough
to permit the passage of large, ocean
going vessels. The government will
dredge out the entrance to the bay
so as to permit the safe passage of
vessels in short time. AS soon as
this is done we will begin our new
line of steamers between Panama
Citv and New York CitVD

We clip the following relative to
the bankruptcy of R. M. Henderson,
of Millville from the Montgomery
Advertisers Pensacola correspon-
dence:
Somewhat of sensational involun-
tary petition in bankruptcy was filed
in the United States Court today by
wholesale merchants of Pensacola,
when they petitioned that R. M.
Henderson, doing business at Mill
vile, Fla, be adjudged a voluntary
bankrupt.
After reciting the various acts COM
mitted by Henderson, which gave
grounds for the action, the petition
recites that on Dec. 4, Max J. Kahn
of this city, representing the whole
salers who held mortgages against
the property of Henderson; called
upon the latter upon his stating that
he was ready to settle all indebted
ness, and that Henderson told him
to write a receipt for the entire
amount, which was done, whereupon,
Henderson forcibly took both the
mortgage and receipt from Kahn and
has refused tc surrender them. The
court granted the petition and issued
seizure warrant for the stock of
goods.

Mr. G. G. McKinnon, of Enterprise,
Ala, is in town, with a fine assort-
ment of orange trees, which ne is
disposing of to our residents. Mr.
McKinnon contemplates setting out
about five acres in orange trees, near
town, and we have no doubt the
venture vii! prove successful. We
predict this will be the forerunner of
other orange groves along the shores
of the Bay.
A. j. Gay has purchased of Martin
G. Post the latter's very choice prop
erty adjoining the bayou on 1st street.
This tract consists of three lots and a
half, and is one of the prettiest build

corners upon the park. Mr. Gay will
at once build thereon a home for
himself and wife and as soon as COM
pleted we may number them with
our people, as permanent residents.

The severance of friendly relations be- tween France and Venezuela has not altered the. moral progress of this re- public.
 Both the American and French gov ernments have made claims against Venezuela, which are being paid. Con- sequently as corporate interests of those countries have damaged us, I assume that an opportunity will be taken by their government to listen to our just claims against those interests and that competent tribunals will de- eide the amount of those claims.

LEGAL MIxUp IN
 THE THAW CASE.
Fight May Come on Effort to
 Take Him to PIttsbuTg.

Pittsburg, Aug. 1.-The probability that some New York man may soon succeed Detective Roger O'Aiara, now serving as receiver and custodian of the estate of Harry K. Thaw. is the proposition in the much complicated case most generally discussed today in Pittsburg This Is based upon the provisions of the federal bankruptcy law. It is admitted by all having a knowledge of this law that creditors have the right at their first meeting to elect trustee to take charge of all of the property of petitioner in bank ruptcy and that such trustee imme- diately supersedes any receiver that may previously have been appointed by any other authority.
 Acting upon this provision. 1t is sur missed, the creditors, a majority of whom are residents of New York, are likely to make concerted move for one of their own selection to act as trustee.
 The fiercest legal fight. however. is  expected because of reports from New York that should an attempt be made to bring Thaw here District Attorney Jerome of New York, 1t is said, will oppose any such move. fearing that if Thaw is once removed from the juris- dlction of New York courts there will be trouble in having him returned to that Jurisdiction. Under the bank ruptey law should the referee call for Thaw and he fail to appear such fall ure would constitute contempt: hence the prospect of clash between state and federal authorities
 Legal authorities here agree that there is no such precedent governing the questions raised in this case. and all are watching developments with much interest.
