Sheriff Van Pelt.

Outside the immediate environment
of Pensacolas mob, Sheriff Van Pelt,
of Escambia county, who braved the
Infatuated craZed assaulters of the
county jail as narrated in last weeks
PILOT, is receiving the honor due a
man who sworn to uphold the law
done his best, and risked his life in
doing so. That he was not among
the killed in the mad onslaught upon
the jail is almost a miracle. That he
was right, and the mob wrong, goes
without saying. The frenzied rage
that now crystallizes into sentiment
calling for this officers dismissal for
Obeying the law, and the proposition
to erect by public subscription a
monument to those who violated it.
is unworthy of Pensacolas standing
as one of the main cities of Florida
and cannot but prove decidedly dam
aging to it in more ways than one.

Promotion of immigration.

Referring to the recent editorial in
the PILOT, suggesting that the press
of the State get together in a united
effort to advertise the possibilities Of
Florida in the interest of immigr itiOn,
the Gadsden County Times, of Quincy,
says:
1.-The Panama City Pilot is trying
to inaugurate propaganda that would
be of immense benefit to the state and
the Times stands ready to do her
part. Push it along Brother West.
Unquestionably if the papers of the
State would unite in such an effort
much good might be accomplished.
TO do the work successfully a plan
should be adopted and persevered in
that would admit of the best results
being obtained from such a move
ment. 1t must be an organized effort,
under proper direction, and persist
emily carried on.
There should be some leading Off
cials, or combination of private indi-
duals, or those interested in our rail
ways, who would take the lead in
this proposition, and take the initia-
tive. Properly carried out it would
mean thousands of additional inhabi-
tants in the State within six months
time, with proportionately increased
wealth

The Lumber Business.

Basing its opinion on carefully cal
culated reports from nearly all the
lumber districts of the Atlantic and
Gulf coast states from Virginia south,
the Southern Lumber Journal, of Sa-
vannah, in its issue of Saturday, takes
an optimistic view of the situation in
lumber circles and other industrial
lines. In this article the Journal
says:
From tabulated reports to the
Southern Lumber Journal, covering
the states of Virginia, North and
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Alabama and Mississippi, it is shown
that a general awakening has taken
place and a revival of trade in the
long and short leaf pine districts of
the south during the past thirty and
sixty days, carrying an advance in
prices anywhere from 81 90 to So 90
per thousand feet. This is in part
accounted for by the general revival
in business along all industrial and
commercial lines, reminding of fires
in factories, mills, iron and steel
plants, as well as operations generally
throughout the great mining regions
of the country. In the meantime
railroads and car builders have quietly
emerged from their hiding and are
placing orders for southern pine car
stills, decking, lining and other ma
terial of this character. Dimension

leaf varieties are moving with greater
freedom and at better prices, while
cypress is holding its own. Gum,
popular, oak, ash and other woods
are doing fairly we'll after a long siege
of depression. From markets up

apOlis, Baltimore, Toledo, ana else
where the reflex action Of the i'm
proved order of things at the south
is apparent and prices are respond
ing accordingly"
Continuing the Journal further on
says:
From the best information we can
obtain by personal contact with the
manufacturers of lumber from Nir-
ginia to Florida during the past few
days and buyers at the north, it is
now fixed fact that lumber trade
conditions are gathering strength and
volume with each rising and setting
of the sun. Ordinarily this is he per
iod when many of the operators take
their annual vacation and no special
effort is made for business. This year,
however, is an exception to the rule,
in that many of the manufacturers as
well as several of the dealers have
been on q vacation for several months
The fiscal year ending with Jun 80
has passed and July l has come with
its distribution of hundreds of millions
of dollars in dividends and other pro-
fit-making arrangements, while the

brought to q close, satisfactorily or
enthusiastically. as the case may be.

The Mail Service.

Tic mdll OSI NlSSs
The past week has witnessed some
of the grossest instances of misman-
agement, utter lack of system, or
business capabilities, in the Post Office
Department, that this long suffering
community has ever had to contend
with.
The contract with the party carry
ing the mail from Chipley to Bay
Head expired July 1st. The Post
Office authorities directed this carrier
to continue the service until August
1st, he being compelled to do this
under his contract. No further in
structions were given him, and on
the last day of July he discontinued
the service, which had been losing
one to him.
1t would seem that the postal au-
thOritieS made no arrangement to
care for the service upon the eXpira-
ton of this contract, consequently no
y
on Saturday, and no mail came in
until Monday evening when the train
brought in 26 JACKS which were found
at the l.. & n. crossing at COttOndale.
There was no one there to give in
structions regarding this mail, but 1t
being tagged to st Andrews the train
men concluded it should be brought
here so done SO.
No arrangements had been made
for the distribution of it here, no in
structions furnished the postmaster,
and all of this delayed mail, including
that for this point, had to go to st An
drews for distribution then returned
to this Office on the following day.
This outrageous treatment of the
Bay country in the matter of mail
service is but a continuation of a
policy that would disgrace equatorial
Africa. A party claiming to repre-
sent the Transportation Department
of the Post Office was here recently,
but by his talk left the impression
that it was in his power to make or
break the people of the Bay country
in the matter of improved mail SER
vice, and he intimated that he would
continue the present practice of tax
ing all the mail to st Andrews for
distribution, thus delaying mail for
this place, Millville, and Parker day
or more.
If this section is to suffer in such
an important feature as its mail SER
vice through the i'll will or bilousness
of post Office employee, it is high
time that every individual Interested
made application to our Senators and
Representatives in Congress, to per
sonally appeal to the Post Office De-
partment for a square deal, and fail
ing there to go to the President.
The manner in which the mail ser
vice has been handled in this section
of the country has been unbusiness
like, unreasonable, and uncalled for.
1t has imposed such unwarranted
conditions upon our citizens as would
not be permitted north of the Ohio
river, and are as disgraceful to the
Post Office Department as they are
unnecessary. Now that the railway
service is regular, and the company
IS required to carry the mails,
it is most opportune time for this
section TO make one more determined
effort to secure irregular and reliable
mail service.

Fears are expressed by some of the

that owing to the bitter contest be-

that such a calamity will befal the

LARGE AUDIENCES
HEAR TWO SERMONS
PrOdigdI Son Was Eyange.
lists Night Theme.

The increasing interest in the re-
yival services was clearly shown i'll
the much larger attendance at the
meeting yesterday morning.
More men and more women were
present than at any of the previous
morning gatherings and it is quite
evident that the services are gather
ing strength and spiritual stimulus
and that before the close the taber-
nacle will be unable to accommodate
all who will desire to enjoy the in
spring music and the forceful appeals
of Evangelist Jones.
Yesterday morning the Evangelist
spoke of Christ as the peacemaker, the
peace maker between individuals and
within individuals
He referred to the progress of ar
bitration as the worlds tribute to the
power of the teachings of Christ. War
is the work of the devil, peace in the
work of Christ's beneficent influence
The time will come when mankind
will all bow at the feet of Jesus and
universal peace will prevail.
The Evangelist expressed his sin
cere belief in personal devil, a de-
vii who arouses the angry passions of
nations and of individuals, who stirs
up all of the baseness of human ma
ture and utilizes it for his own hellish
purposes.
The sweet peace that comes to the
individual soul from communion with
Christ was dwelt upon.
Only the soul that has fixed itself
firmly on Christ as it's salvation can
enjoy perfect tranquility, can meet the
sorrows, the troubles, the vexations,
the disappointments of life and not
succumb to them, but keep a calm,
blissful mind with faith lifting it
triumphant to heights of peaceful JOY
that only those who have enjoyed sim
liar experiences can realize
Nothing that earth can offer in the
way of prizes and pleasures can make
up for the loss of this peace that
passeth understanding" of the sense
of security, of absolute sac
ty of restfulness, that defies
description, that only the one
who walks in close touch with Christ
can possess.

OPPOSED TO
STEPHENS BILL
Sumter Military Men Ap-
peal tODykes and Taylor.

The officers of the Americus Light
Infantry have united in protest
against the passage of the Stephens
bill, providing for the establishment
of a secondary military organization
in Georgia, to be entirely Independent
of the federal government and the
operations of the Dick military law.
Copies of the protest have been sent
to Representatives Dykes and Taylor.
Mr.. Dykes is a member of the military
committee of the House and in posi-
tion to exert considerable influence
in regard to the proposed measure,
which is apparently being opposed by
the entire military organization of
Georgia, outside of Savannah, where it
is claimed, the desire to maintain sep
arate military organizations is quite
strong.
1t is claimed that the distinct ten
dency of the Stephens bill, if it be-
came law, would be toward the de-
moralization and disintegration of the
existing military system.
Georgia's military forces, it is point
ed out, are just getting on reason
ably good basis through the financial
assistance and hearty cooperation of
the national military department The
equipment is better than it has ever
been, the discipline is better, the
training is more effective, and the
yearly encampments are doing an
immeasurable good in building up the
military spirit Those opposing the
Stephens bill claim its practical effect
will be to tear down all that has been
done and eventually reduce the state
forces to a chaotic condition.

With such vigor has work been

Within two weeks, or by August

And twill be one of the best and
fastest in the South.
An experienced track builder, one
who built several of the best trotting

Greatest care has been exercised in
its construction, and horsemen from
other cities who have inspected it
declare the Americus course one OF
the finest they have ever seen. And
some remarkably fine records will be
made there shortly
The Association proposes having
a trotting event about August 18th
confined largely to horses owned here,

FEW DRINKS ON NEAR"
SHOW ON THE DOCKET
AmeriCuS Near" Booze is
Not Loaded.

Americus has had but few plain
ton of near" beer and like loaded
liquids, and even in these isolated
cases it was suspected that little
near" corn or rye had been added
to give it bouquet
In fact, case of drunk from any
cause is rarely tried in the police
court here now.
But in other towns the near" beer
is much nearer booze.
In Atlanta, one day this week
forty-four cases of old fashioned an
Reproduction drunks were tried at a
single session of "Jedge Briles" court,
and of these thirty-four were claimed
by the drunkees to be near" beer
jaglets.
1t looked like old e-prohibition
times The court room was crowded
with spectators and there were 40
prisoners waiting to be tried. Not
since the first day Of last January,
when prohibition went into effect, had
there been such docket.
Six men and three women stated
they had each drunk some four or
five glasses of near beer, and not
only got drunk, but were SO nearly
crazed that they did not remember
when they were locked up.
One man did not know his wife; an
other put his shoes on the wrong foot
and then raised cain because some
body had 'swapped shoes with him."
a third chewed half an hour on
piece of leather, thinking it was
slice of bacon
The Americus article is not of that
degree of fervid intensity.
