The Manchuria, due from Yokoha-
ma on Monday will have room for
about seventy-five passengers from
this city for the Coast. The rumor
to the effect that Captain Saunders
would take the vessl out once more
when she leaves on her next trip from
San Francisco has been revived again
and it looks, from the remarks on the
subject made by the officers of the
Korea, as though there was a good
deal of truth in the report. Captain
Saunders, if he gets his ship back,
will owe it to one thing, the friend
ship expressed for him by President
Taft, who made the famous trip with
Alice Longworth to the Philippines in
the Manchuria.

Pensacola OVERLOOKING With
Mirth and Merrirnent.

When King Priscus landed at the
wharf yesterday, he was greeted by a
larger number of loyal Pensacolians
Of visitors than ever before when he
has visited the city. The crowd that
witnessed the kings parade extended
along both sides of Palafox street
from its foot to the Escambia hotel.
At some points along the line the
people were a compact mass and fu-
tile were the efforts of pedestrians on
business bent who attempted to push
their way through the living but OBJ
stinate wall.
Indeed, it is admitted on all sides
that this years carnival outranks all
previous efforts in every direction.
The people have entered into the soul
Of the occasion with uRexampIed COM
pleteness and from nine o'clock yes
terday morning until the early hours
of today the air has vibrated with the
cries of merrimenL and the sound of
accompanying instr uments. while con-
fetti has fallen as thick at the SHOWS
of a Canadian winter and rests, a
paTti-colored coverlet, upon the side
walks. King Dodo's parade, eccen-
trio, attractive and bewildering, was
witnessed by thousands at night, and
his ball was a leading feature in the
seasons social life
1t is especially gratifying to record
that despite the hIIarity of the first
day of the celebration, a hilarity that
often amounted to wild abandon, the
behavior Of the immense throng was
good natured. orderly and most re-
spectacle. This speaks volume in
praise of Pensacolians and their visit
ors. It tells of a rare civilization,
indeed-One that brooks no bOorish-
ness, no indecency, no vulgarity. The
most extravagant expressions of De
light have been modified by the hand
of Caution and nave never shocked
the heart of InnOncence.

Practical Work Along
An Important Line.

Commissioner OF Agriculture J. A.
Wilkinson is doing a good work in
Alabama which is worth copying by
every state in the Union. Not con-
tent with Offering prizes to the farm
ers Of his commonwealth for sundry
productions outside the great south
eTn staple. he has now written q letter
TO the superintendent of education
and teachers Of the several counties
couched in the following language:
Believing that you are deeply con-
cerned in the welfare of our BOYS, and
that their future usefulness TO them
selves, their families and the state
viii in a large measure hinge upon
their knowledge Of agriculture which
viii also encourage them 10 remain
on the farm. We. therefore, recon-
mend for your consideration these
suggestions:

tricts to organize all their boys be-

circumstances. The people who have
opposed it have undoubtedly been
misled in a most woeful and dis
graceful manner. Instead OF being
fooled. the people should be made tC
know the value of the Everglades and
that of the drainage work that is now
being done.
Comparison of Lands.
Il have been engaged in irrigation
work in the west for long time,
and am a boomer for everything that
is WESTERN" continued Mr.. Franklin,
but I am forced TO state that no
section of the west contains land
that can compare in any way with
that which found in the Everglades.
This land is undoubtedly the richest
in the world. In the west one does
we'll TO attend TO ten acres of irri-
gated land; in the Everglades, how
ever, two and d half acres would
bring any family a livelihood. In the
production of sugar cane alone, mil
lions and millions will be made an

cane sugar over beet sugar being
great, and any combine in the world
could be broken by the output of the
great section. 1t is cause for Won
der to me that the business men of
Florida nav emit taken az much of this
land as possible, instead of allowing
We men of the west to Ocme in and
begin the work of promotion. Why,
instead OF opposing the drainage
proposition, the people Of my section

The Journal has before called az
tentiOn to the great value of practi-
cal, concrete work such as is advised
by Mr.. Wilkinson It is to the COM
ing generations that the strongest ap-
peal should be made for improved sg-
TicultuTal methods and a larger at
tentiOn TO crop diversification. The
farmer who has become set in his
ways is far more deaf to instruction
even when weighted with UnaduI-
terated wisdom, than the youth whom
practice has not made imperfect. The
Importance Of endeavor along this line
cannot be exaggerated. Upon its
success depends in a great measure
yes, in the greatest measure-the fu-
ture prosperity of the South. For,
when all is said and done, nations
truest wealth rests in the soil whence
springs the first necessity of life
food.
