cEssFUL ANNIVERSARY DATE
TO ALREADY LONG LINE.

On August IS. 1868. the Stevedores
RenevoIent Association of this city
was organized, and when the forty
Hrst anniversary of its organization
came around yesterday, old-timeTs
beqa1 IN grow reminiscent. The fact
deVeIoued that there was possibly one
charter member CT the organization
now living. This is George Mayne,
now residing In the western part OF
the CITY and who now holds a position
on the docks. MT. Mayne could not
he found last evening, but old bay
men in the city last night all agreed
that If he was a charter member, he
Is the only living one. The death OF
ex-Chief John Baker a few years ago
removed one other charter member OF
the organization.
Mon who have toiled for years in
Pensacola bay last night recalled in
cidents of their many years or con-
neetion with the association One
WAS found whose membership extend
ed over a period of twenty-nine years,
while another said he had been
member for thirty-three years. Many
changes in the haTbOr work have been
made since their first day in ships.
and tales told by group found by
Journal representative last night were
interesting in the extreme The old
times Of the "Quebeckers" were re-
called, of how one or more riots had
been brought on by the influx Of for
efgn labor to take the places Of home
men. One recalled and told with a
yividness of imagination that was
nothing short of wonderful how a
two-story boarding house was at
tackled by frozen out" men in the
early 70's and imported men were
seen to jump from two-stoTy windows
and fee for safety Others told OF
handsome wages paid il times of Ia
Dor stringency during the good early
days Of the city when steam was IN
known as an adjunct to the loading OF
vessels. and when men drew from
their labor as high as $40 per day on
stretches of months at the time
amusing incident was told of how en-
tire cargoes were placed alongside
ships and during the night pieces
would be found at or in other ships,
disappearing in strange and unex-
planned manner. ia.:
1t was the custom formerly to cele-
brate each recurring anniversary

something of the sort, but in the more
recent years all such celebrations

tairest and strongest labor organiza-
ton. Such was the case yesterday.

W. c. Odom, a country constable
who came to the city a few DAYS ago,
fourished a gun altogether too reck-
lessly at the county Jail, according to
testimony which was Gdduced at a
preliminary hearing in the county
judges court yesterday. and the ru-
raj officer was ordered held under a
bond of 800 for his appearance at
the next term of the criminal court.
The charge in his case is that of dis
playing a revolver in a reckless and
dangerous manner
OdOm came to town a day or two
ago, the case showed, and was a Wit
ness in a case on trial He visf ed
the county Jail in his rounds Of the
city and at that place, it was stated,
he fiourished a gun and had prisoners
who were locked up guessing rapidly
what was going to happen to them.
As flight was out OF he question,
their safety, lay only in persuasion,
end they are said to have done some
begging The officers on duty there
heard Of the affair and made an in
vestigation. They found a lot of
ground for a complaint and formulat-
ed the charge.
When he acted in the manner al
leged, the officers were o. the opin-
ion that he had been drinking liquor,
for he is usually a quiet citizen.

port Tuesday afternoon, Sheriff Van
Pelt received a message to go TO
Bluff Springs at once. as trouble OK
a serious nature had broken out. Ar
irving there the sheriff was informed
that the two men under arrest had
made a vicious assault upon two men
sent from here to wOr kOn the grav-
ell pit there. The pit is operated by
local men. One man, whose name
was Gray, was badly beaten, the other
victim not being used so bad. They
both said that the Boutwells were the
ones who committed the deed. The
good people OF Bluff Springs were
very much worked up over the mat
ter, pronouncing It an outrage, and
offering the sheriff any reasonable
assistance to get at and arrest the
two brothers named. The sheriff de-
clined this offered assistance, and
once getting the men from a thick
swamp, placed them under arrest.
They submitted without resistance.
The pit is now being operated BY
Messrs. Hyer and SALESMAN, both or
this city, who maintain that this sort
Of outrage must cease, and they are
going to put up a vigorous prosecu-
ton Of the pair under arrest.

summer are caused by dandruf.
Dandruff is caused by microbes
which are hard to kill, but which can

DandTuff can never be cured until
the small. aggravating and indomita-
BILE dandruff germ is conquered and
destroyed.
And millions of dandruf germs
have been destroyed, thanks to the
great scientist and dermatologist who
gave to the world Partisan Sage, the
only real dandruff cure and hair
grower the world has ever known.
If you have dandruff, Partisan
Sage will cure you in two weeks, or
your money back.
But besides Kidding the scalp OF
dandruff, Partisan Sage is guaranteed
to stop failing hair and itching Of the

FRISCO SYSTEM
IS BEHIND THE
NEW RAILROAD
THIS Is THE BELIEF IN NEW Or
LEANS, OWING TO THE FACT
THAT OFFICIALS OF THAT CON-
PANY ARE AMONG THOSE
NAMED IN THE CHARTER.

The following from the New Or
leans Times Democrat, regarding the
proposed railroad from New Orleans
to Pensacola, will be read with in
terest in this section:
Articles of incorporation for new
S5,000,OO0 railroad, to connect New
Orleans and Pensacola, by the most
feasible route" were filed in this city
yesterday afternoon. While no def
mite statements have been made as to
the identity Of the interests behind
the project, it is popularity believed in
local railroad circles to be a Frisco
system enterprise and is said to con-
template the making of number OF
important connections which will put
the Frisco into Pensacola
Il T. Pearson, A. L. Phillips and F.
G. Jonah, all three Of whom are iden-
titled with Frisco enterprises, are
mentioned among the incOrpoTatOrS
of the new concern. Their presence
among the organizers of the company
is responsible for the gossip which
connects the project with the Frisco
interests and for that reason the
greatest interest is being manifested
in further announcement regarding
the plans of the new concern.
The charter states that the name
of the company is the New Orleans
and Gulf States Railway Company !;
that it's objects and purposes are to
construct and operate a railroad line
beginning at New Orleans and fol-
lowing the most feasible route to
Pensacola, Fla, and that its author
lied capital is $4,000, 900. 1t is pro-
vided that the company may be q
going concern as soon as $4,000 stock
has been subscribed. This amount is
shown to have been already taken.
The only names appearing in the
charter of the company are l. T. Pear
son, A. l.. Phillips, l.. J. Huey, w. R.
Huey, J. z. Hines, F, G. Jonah and
Fernando EstopinaI. Mr.. Preston is
the general agent at New Orleans for
the Rock Island Frisco system, while
Messrs. Phillips and Jonah are iden-
titled with the engineering depart
ment of the New Orleans Terminal
Company, which is a Frisco enter
prise.
Much significance attaches to the
appearance of these names in con-
nection with a new railroad to con-
meet New Orleans and Pensacola, es-
peciaIly in view Of the fact that there
has been some little talk recently Of
the Frisco system using the Mobile
Jackson and Kansas City to reach the
Gulf coast and the Florida port
While there have been no announce
ments which are strong enough tt
stamp the new road as a creature o.
| the Rock Island Frisco system, mucl
credence is placed in the report tha
| the big corporation is behind the pro
| tect and further developments in thu
plans are awaited with keen interest.

Wagner VS.. Cobb.

New York, Oct 1o-There seems to
be great difference of opinion
throughout the country among base
ball clans" as to which of these men
Wagner or Cobb-should be consid-
cred the best ball player Since they
do not play in the same positions and
ar cas- different as any two men could
possibly be in mental makeup and
general baseball form, the only way
to judge them is by consulting their
records.
! Cobb always seems to have more
motive power stored up than he can
use, which is in evidence in his every
movement Wagner, on the other
hand is just the opposite-cool, cal
culating and quiet, but possessing a
muscular development very much
greater than Cobb's.
In the days of ancient Greece
Cobb would have been an ideal rep
resentative OF the Athenian athlete,
while Wagner would have been the
personifcation of the Spartan.
Comparative Position at Plate.
Cobb's position at the plate is a
masterpiece of goo dform. He
stands with his feet about six inches
apart, his weight resting mostly on
the back leg, ready to step in any di-
rection that he may desire. Wagner
assumes an awkward, ungainly posi-
ton at the plate, with feet far apart
knees slightly bent, and in hall
crouch, depending mostly upon the
wonderful strength of his forearms
and shoulders to drive the ball.
Cobb grasps the bat about six inches
| from the handle, with hands varying
from four to six inches apart II
| this way he gets better control Of the
bat for his quick, decisive chops, ant
at the same time he can watch balls
close to him before starting his swing
Wagner varies the position OF hi:
hands, sometimes swinging from the
extreme end, at other times choking
the bat up close.
In the act of hitting the ball, Cobt
drives his body forward off his bacl
foot by switching his weight from on'
foot to the other, so that the uppe,
part Of the body is resting On thu
front foot In this way he con
centrates his whole strength in hi!
swing, using his arms only to guide
the bat, except in the last decisive
chop. He develops the propellins
power in his body and uses his arm!
as the final force of transmission
Wagner, on the other hand, does no
step far, depending more upon thu
marvellous muscular development o
his forearms and shoulders to drive
the ball.
He switches his weight fro the bacl
foot to the front more through poweI

developed by his abdominal muscles
than in the direct act of stepping in
to the ball. He can watch the ball
as close as Cobb can because of his
additional muscular development.
Left VS.. Right Handed Batsmen.
Cobb has decided advantage over
| Wagner in the fact that he bats left
handed, in this way being from four to
six feet closer to first base, and in
hitting to right field is in his natural
stride as soon as he swings. Being
/ a good bunter and also a clever left
| field hitter, he eeeps the third baseman
guessing all the time, too
AS base runners, both Cobb and
: Wagner are wonders. Each one
studies the peculiarities of the pitchl
er's delivery and starts at the psy-
Geological moment, but Cobb, having
more speed and a perfect slide, gets
to the base quicker and is harder to
touch. Being naturally fearless and
of the ball-sliding in front on a high
and going in straight on a perfect
throw-he sometimes spikes the base
man, but only when the baseman is

play.
Wagner, on the other hand, has a
longer stride and a wonderful at
tenuated slide, but cannot get his
huge body away from the play as can
| Cobb.
| Choosing the ball to go on when
he has the best lead and working with
the batter, who can help him out, are
indisputable assets in base running,
which both Cobb and Wagner depend
upon to large extent.
In comparing the ability Of Cobb
and Wagner, the batting and base
running honors are not all Cobb's, as
shown in the recent world series. 1t
is an established fact that the short
stop is much harder proposition to
fill than right field, and consequent
ly Wagner gets the choice when il
comes to fielding

rest of w. B. Dolenty of the banking
house of w. B. Dolenty & Co., Of
this town, on charge of perjury.
John R. Matthews, county attorney,
gives the following statement of what
brought about the arrest:
w. B. Dolenty was arrested on in
formation filed by leave of the court
and bench warrant was issued. The
information charges Mr.. Dolenty with
perjury during July, 1908. The board
of equalization for Broadwater county
met at that time and notified Dolenty
that unless he should appear before
said board and give good reasons
why approximately $4,000 of solvent
credits should not be added to his as
sessment list, as turned in to the as
SCISSOR, this amount would be added
to his assessment. The amount was
arrived at from a list of chattel
mortgages standing in the name of A.
V. league; his attorney in fact, H. S.
league, being w. B. Dolenty's broth
er-inlaw and cashier in his bank.
At the time the board of equaliza-
tion was in session Miss A. v. league,
who was visiting her sister, Mrs. w.
B. Dolenty, was subpoenaed by the
board of equalization and said that
she had no money to loan and knew
of no money being loaned in her name.
Then H. S. league was asked for
whom he was attorney in fact. He
said it was lady living on the coast.
When asked what relationship she
bore, he said, "She is just cousin. "
This was in the presence of w. B.
Dolenty.
Mr.. Dolenty was then sworn and
testified in his own behalf and said
the statements made by H. S. league
were correct.
