But in Pensacola every body drinks
coffee And no body finds it bad
habit for in Pensacola they have re-
duced the making of coffee to a fine
art, and everyone is an artist in this
respect.
They do not limit their drinking of
coffee 10 any particular hour OF the
day There are little coffee houses
scattered about the city, and of raw
day there is nothing so cheering as a
cup of this delightful beverage, the
true essence and delight of which are
now as much unknown to many people
of this country, and certainly to a ma
j0r;ty of hotel preprietors, as is the
swing of Pleiades to the country
pumpkin. And yet this art is of such
reday requirement that all young
housewives should take a POSTCARD
uate course at the coffee houses of
Pensacola, for the happiness of the
family dependent much in the quality
of the coffee.
At the Coffee Table.
There are men in Pensacola of
more prominence than Frank L..
Mayes, editor of The Pensacola Jour
nal, but there is none who is more &C

than he. and no one who has accom-
plished more in so short a time
Mayes We met at 3 O'Clock in the af-
ternoon on the way to get his coffee.
If Mayes were running an afternoon
paper there would be excuse for a cup
OF coffee at in the afternoon. but his
Journal is a morning paper, and there
would be no reasonable apology to Of
fer for coffee at such an hour for a
morning newspaper worker if he did
not live in Pensacola. But living in
Pensacola renders apology unneces-
sary and makes it a reasonable act,
and the reason is read in the cup.

And there sat about this cafe table
at 3 o'clock of the afternoon three
well-known figures. One the editor
of The Pensacola Journal, better
known because of the excellent paper
he makes, perhaps, than the others.
For when one speaks through the col
umns of such a medium he is known
through the length and breadth of the
state by the work of his brain and
hand which he daily puts forth The
others of the distinguished company
were John S. Beard and Walter KehOe
the first confident candidate for the
senate and the other equally confident
candidate for congress. 1t is right
that candidate should be confident.
candidate who is not confident is a
candidate already defeated.
But interest does not show on the
surface when men of Pensacola talk
of Pensacola. They have a beautiful
city and they know it. They have
the best port Of the state, the deep
est south OF Newport News, and they
know it. They have the advantage
over all other ports in passing traffic
through the Panama canal, and the
building of this canal is merely a
question of time. In the meantime
the feet of war vessels which has
been stationed at Pensacola during
the winter for several years is not
expected to return until the compile
ton of the canal. and this will mean
a temporary loss. But one item even
of such magnitude cannot deter the
onward march of progress to which
Pensacola is committed by all the
pressure of commerce upon her Pen
sacola has more deep water than any
port within any sort of competitive
distance Pensacola has SO feet over
the bar, Savannah has "a, Brunswick
has %, Mobile has %, Galveston
has 81
Statistics are not interesting save
to back up assertions. Pensacola is
so secure in the possession of an I'M
rivaled harbOr that it need fear 10
competition. 1t has already what other
ports are striving for and begging
congress to give them. 1t is merely
matter now of taking care of the
shipping which seeks an outlet and
inlet.

After Mayes had his coffee he hur-
ried to the annual meeting OF the
Chamber OF Commerce. This organi-
zation has been an active factor in
building UP the business of the city
and promoting the undertakings look
ing TO the civic good of the commun-
ity
The spirit of the organization and
the active interest in it is shown in
an announcement over the names of
the president and the secretary in
the last issue of North and South,
a publication issued for the industrial
advancement of the city and section.

With all of its wealth and its illimit-
able opportunity and its certain
growth il is difficult to understand
why Pensacola has not had new rail

of years to gain other connections by

summation looms in sight. The story

and so much to get the constitutional
amendment through. and the other by
Charles Carroll, who is also greatly
interested in the work and has done
much for 1t. The. proposition was
explained by the two speak
ers and was received with favorable
consideration by the members of the
committees. MIR. Robinson declared
IN favor of the license system Of tax
alton and said that this amendment
to the constitution would do nothing
except allow the general assembly to
pass such laws on the subject of reve-
nue. and taxation as 1t may see fit.
The first proposition is TO have the
people vote on the amendment tor the
