There is no doubt what the verdict
OF the people of HillsbOrOUgh county
would bean overwhelming majority
are opposed to the division of this
county. 1t has even been stated by
residents of the west coast section
who claim to know the sentiment q
the people Of that part Of the county,
that a majority OF the people OF that
part would vote against division
Such action, however. IS not neces-
sary-it is merely suggested that It
would again clearly demonstrate that
the people of the county are over
whelmingIy opposed to the division of
the county, as was shown at the last
primary by the defeat OF F. A Wood
OF ST. Petersburg, who made the race
for the nomination for state senator
on a division platform. Personally
popular and conceded to be a very
able man, MT- Wood was showed Un-
der because Of his advocacy OF di-
vision. It is generally determined
that no man can in future be elected
to the legislature from this county
unless he Is pledged positively to fight
any division measure that may be
presented.

There are millions of pores or per-

be no trouble from skin diseases; but
when the blood is filled with impuri-

consequence.
When animals such as horses and

CAPT. JOHN n. CARO-
IN STORM OF 1906

Editor Pensacola Journal
Please publish in your VOx populi
column an account of a pilots expert
ence in the hurricane OF September,
1906 l reported with outside watch at
IL a. m, Sept. 25. and boarded the
Norwegian bark King Oscar" about
2:30 p. n. The first question asked by
Captain Johnson was what the wealth
er report was and he received the
answer that a hurricane was in the
gulf working north There was
heavy sea at that time. We sailed
through the channel and took tow
from the tug Monarch" We had
heavy squaH Of wind and rain of the
Navy Yard which moderated some
after time and We could make head
way and were able to anchor at the
quarantine station about Sis p. m.
There was happy crew on the bark
when we let go the heavy anchor. On
the 26th about p. m. we let go the
starboard anchor and payed out chain
until there was seventy-five fathoms
on both, and we rode out the storm
without damage.
When | boarded the bark outside
there was a British barkentine, the
Milton, near. The pilot spoke to her
and found she was bound for Mo-
bile. She hauled off shore and was
lost with all her hands.
Thursday, the 27th, the army tug
Poe" came to the station, with both
anchors gone. She made fast under
lee Of ballast crib and took DR.. White
and others on board
FRIDAY, Sept. 2Sth, / came on the
bark King Oscar to Pensacola The
station was badly wrecked. When We
landed at Pensacola l struck out for
home and found my family well. Then
came down to the water front and
enquired what facilities we we're to
have to get to the bar.
The British steamship pillar de
Larrinaga" had ordered a pilot for
Thursday at 5 a. m. On account Of
the hurricane Captain Harrison did
not expect a pilot to come off during
the storm. He steamed away from
MuSCOgee wharf to the stream and an
chored, thus saving his vessel from
damage. She set signal for a pilot
on the 2Sth and about noon landed
the watehman and sent him to the
pilot Office for a pilot. In the after
noon the captain weighed anchor and
moved his ship just off the city.

South American Beef
For the United States.

American beef Is scarce and Ameri-
can beef is high. There is no ques-
ton in anybody's mind about the lat
ter assertion whatever may be the
truth with respect to the former. For
there is universal distrust of the beefy
berons who purvey their wares to the
public-a deep suspicion that their
statements are not always dictated by
a conscience welded to veracity.
But, as quite remarkable sequence
TO the high price of beef in American
markets, 1t is now rumOred that frozen
beef will be shipped into this country
from Uruguay and Argentina and sold
in New York at from five to seven
cents a poundi The meat is said to
be fat. of excellent flavor and whole
some.
By all means let it come, should be
the universal cry: for there is no rea-
son that this beef brought frozen from
these distant countries should not be
just as toothsome and Just as nourish-
ing as that supplied by the western
packing houses. And think OF the re-
duction in price. and what marvellous
effect Il would be sure to have on the
bulletins issued by the barons. How
the production of beeves would in
crease all OF q sudden, and how this
would justify a decided cut in price.

doubtless, Il may be relied on.

SOME HUMOR IN DEATH.

Here's joke with suicide in it. 1t is worth while pay
ing attention to because ism often that you
have any fun with Death
There fellow down in New York named Barney.
He saved pnched and squeezed others until he amassed
several millions and became president of the Knicker-
booker Trust Co. Lord how he did pinch the poor! Why
he used to think that laborer who wanted 90 cents
day should be turned over to the consabuary general
principles that the price of mems sweat and toll and all
the possible comforts of the herd matters
to be determined by Wall street and the Chicago pit
Just in the of mine stocks, corn, pork So his
old trust saved pnched and squeezed until Barney
worth several millions of dollars, and nothing else.
In 1907 the gamblers who have the countrys prosperity
at their command got up panic and Barneys trust be-
''involved Believing that his millions, which
all he had gone and that he must go into bankruptcy
Barney blew out his brains He had lived by greed He
had lived greed Cred had thrown him down, and
he longer cared to live He wasn't too old to make
start but when greedy has been pilng up mil
lions for years by grinding the people through
special privileges it awfully hard to get down
among the people and dig like blazes for all he
gets, like they do
Barney having blown himself into the hereafter it be-
necessary to clean up his estate and here is where
the joke His estate cleans up to the tune of
$1O0OO0O He needn't have suicded at all. With over
million he could have been just greedy just selfish
Just oppressive and domneering his fellows as
ever. 1t is joke on Barney.
1t may be little off color to call attention to joke
the dead. But joke is joke, and, living, Barney was
joke.
