A Change for the Better.

The lifelong domicile of an old lady
was situated several feet south of the
dividing line of Virginia and North
Carolina, and when that section of the
country was resurveyed it was discov-

of the property in question. They
broke the news to the old lady that
from then on she was to be a resident
of Virginia. That's good" she ex-

SOMEBODY TURNS ON
A GARY FIRE HYDRANT
Permits Water to Flow For Several
Hours and Flood the Streets.

Somebody who takes an especial de-
light in the flow of water last night
turned on the fire hydrant at the corner
of Broadway and Seventeenth avenue
and permitted the water to run into
the street for several hours. The re-
suit was that the streets in the neigh
borhood were flooded and that the Gary
Heat, Light and Water company had to
work under extra pressure. This is by
no means the first time that such a
school-boy trick has been played, and 1t
may go hard with the offender If he
comes within the grasp of the law

Death of c. 7. PoStOn.

The brief announcement in the last
PILOT of the death of this young man
brought a feeling of sorrow to many
of our citizens.
Taylor was very conscientious
and popular young man, and filled
with credit the position of first post
master OF Panama City. He with O..
II. Mckenzie, X. Madden, and the
writer were the first to begin start
ing Panama City at a. m, May
18th, 1906. He remained with the
crew at that work until Mr. Mckenzie
moved his stock of goods here, when
he was employed in the store, soon
after taking the position of post
master which he retained until he
left here.
He was the brother of Mrs George
II. Mckenzie, who we believe is the
sole remaining child. Taylors mother
died but a short time since, and his
is the fourth death in the family
within few years. His father and
sister, Mrs Mckenzie, have the sym
pathy of the community in their great
loss. We take the following from
the paper published AT Taylors late
home
Charles Taylor Poston, son of Rev.
F. II. POstOn, died at the Cordele
Sanatorium last evening after an
illness Of two weeks from typhoid
fever.
Mr.. Poston was about tWeenty-one
years of age, and at the time of his
dea.h held responsible position with
the A. B. & 4. Railroad.
He was a consistent member Of the
Baptist Church and was a young man
of ine Christian character.
Both with his employers and among
his associates he was quite popular,
and this announcement of his death
Will be received with the deepest
regret by a large circle of friends.
The funeral services were conducted
atthe Baptist pastorium this afternoon
at $3.50 o'clock, Rev. Frank Cramer
officiating. Interment was made at
Sunny Side cemetery. y.--Cordele Ramb-

new STEAMSHIP LINE.

For some time the PILOT has been
in receipt OF information relative to
the establishing of a new steamship
line, with one terminus at Panama
City but for business reasons could
not make the facts public.
The purchase of the Manteo, by
President Steele, of the 4. & St A. b.
R r., and his announcement that it
would be run in connection with the
road, renders the further withholding
from the public of the facts unneces-
sary.
1t has always been the intention Of
the railway companyto secure steam
ship connection at this point for all
Gulf ports, Cuba, and Central Ameri-
can points. Its plans for securing
such transportati(k are as extensive
as the business oiShe Lower South
and its foreign and ooastways trade
demands.
The road was not blilt merely as a
means Of reaching St Andrews Bay
from the interior, but to furnish the
most direct and best means of trans
pOrtati0n from all points in Alabama,
Georgia, and West florida that are
tributary to it, to and from all points
reached by water.
The purchase of the ManteO is one
step in that direction. AS trade de
velops other boats viii be put in ser
vice, and this port will become what
nature intended it to be, the principle
metropolis Of the Eastern Gulf.
The Manteo viii make close con-
neCtion with and have direct traffic
relations with the Mallory Line of
steamships, which will enable this
section, and the extensive territory
tributary to the Atlanta & St Andrews
Bay r. r., to enjoy as prompt and
cheap transportation as IS now had
by any point on the Gulf of Mexico.

We are having favorable weather
for making garden, and many are at
it. a good garden goes a long way
toward furnishing family with the
choicest of vegetables, and saves
buying so much in the way of canned
goods.
The Tarpon was late in getting in
yesterday and did not leave for Apa-
lachicola until about this morning.
Heavy freight and transferring freight
at Millville, was the cause of the de-

Mr. Clutter, of Pensacola, has been
spending some days about the bay,

well known musical instrument man

NJ. n. Carlisle, of C&llaway, was an
arrival on last evenings train from

interest at that place in the opening
of st Andrews Bay to the largest

interested in the Bay country.

East Bay Canal.
MIR EDITOR

Mr. EDITOR
AS will be noted from the attached
letters my efforts in behalf of the
East Bay Canal seem to be apprecia-
ted, which causes me to explain why
III my opinion all of St Andrews Bay
and the territory to the westward
thereof should and would be interest
ed in this project. AS a preface l
would ask attention to Mr. Merits
letter below.
West Bay, Fla, Sept 2nd, 1908.
DEAR MADAM:
Please accept my thanks and con-
gratulaticns for your wise and in
spring letter in reject issue of the
Panama City Pilot. Ifthose interest
ed will cooperate, the canal from
East Bay to the ApalachicOla river
viii be built. This will quickly draw
the attention and funds of the United
States for canal extension. | suggest
you have papers of other cities publish
this article and others you may
write. Keep the matter prominent.
Yours very truly,
W. B. MERIT.
Mr. Merit strikes the key note of
my explanation. He realizes that the
best way to gain favor with Uncle
Sam and get him to spend money is
TO show a willingness to do something
yourself. He also realizes that the
East Bay canal is important, is of
such z short length and light cutting,
with d large wealthy territory to back
it, and the proposed extension
through from West Bay to Choctaw-
batchee Bay so much longer, and the
country weaker financially, that he
urges as an important step the build
ing of the East Bay canal by private
subscription, as that will tend to cause
the L. s. to furnish the means and
begin the work on the extension
wsNvard.
Senator Milton writes as follows:
MISS LILLIAN CARLISLE,
Galloway, Fla.
Your favor of the 29th ult with en-
closures received. | had read with
much interest your letter in the Pilot,
and had thought Of writing you about
Il. 7 appreciate your practical sug
gcstons and active interest in this
public Improvement. | will deliver
Your letter as requested, and will
eudeavor to aid you in any man
uer yOu may suggest.
Yours sincerely,
W. II. MILTON.
It is gratifying to receive such cor
dial support to the project as has thus
far been extended and it shows that
il viii have the support of the entire
Bay country, as we'll as the river
towns, and with the completion of
this project the latter towns viii
heartily cooperate with the West
Bay interests in securing the cutting
of the canal in that territory by the
government.
Thus far there has nothing been
received that is at all 5iscCuraging;
in fact quite the contrary, and much
larger interest disclosed in the Canal
than was to be expected.
