the applicants for the charter. The
capital will be $4,000 to start
Those who have pinned their faith
to the enterprise have been busy a
sufficient time to become assured that
there is a great deal to come from the
undertaking. The commercial value
of the output of the mill here will be
such as to create a large business at
once. The mill will be placed in op-
Grafton at this point as soon as the
machinery can be procured. Already
considerable attention has been given
to the making of machinery which
will serve the purposes Of the new
enterprise, and all details have been
completed.
A large amount Of okra has been
grown, and will be ready for use in
the mill here. AS soon as the real
value Of the material is established,
the promoters feel that the manufac-
ture of paper will increase so rapidly
that the trade from this point will
be large.
A word to the wise should be suffi-
cient. The intelligent should read
between the lines in the foregoing
message and should not fail to take
instant advantage of an opportunity
which appears so full of golden
promise.

TWO FIRES.

Two fire alarms in the space of an
hour kept the department busy around
the midnight hour last night.
At 11:4O o'clock a telephone alarm
stated a house was burning on Luke's
alley. Firemen found that negroes
smoking out mosquitoes at 29 Luke j
ALLEY had let the burning rags ignite
the floor. No serious damage was
sustained.
At 1915 4 M. firemen of hose com
pany No. 2, returning to headquarters
on East Zarragossa street, discovered
a healthy blaze in a two-story I'M
occupied frame structure at the north
east corner of Zarragossa and Tara
coma streets. This at first gave
promise Of being rather a destTuc-
tive fire, but real energetic work on
the part of the firemen saved the
structure, although it was consider
able damaged. The origin is unknown,
but a spark from a passing engine
was the possible cause, 1t was stated.

Accent the Amendment.

Accept tnS Amendment
Two acts passed by the legislature
call for universal commentator, in
the opinion Of the Pensacola Journal.
One is the law requiring the sePara-
ton of white and colored prisoners
and the separation Of the sexes in the
seAte prisons, The other is that
which provides for the teaching OF
the elements of agriculture and civil
government in the public schools. It
says of these: Both these acts are
righteous and will tend for the NOR
al, intellectual and financial better
ment of the state. That the condition
which necessitated the passage Of the
first should have previously existed
is most horrible to think about, and
it is gratifying to note the advanced
appreciation of economics and need
for political education which called
Forth the second. Every child at the
age of twelve should know much Of
the soil whence springs his only hope
for physical life, and should also be
able to Tecite the Declaration OF In
dependence" The national constitu-
ton, too, is an instrument not too alb
struse to be successfully expOunded
to children OF a certain age, albeit,
there are many Americans who seem
to be ignorant of it's provisions and
of its spirit as well.-Jacksonville
