Mobile. June s-(SpeciaL)--Dr. Rus sell M Cunningham. of Ensiey. Ala. this afternoon delivered lecture at the Mobile Theatre to a large audience
 The meeting was presided over by Richard V. Taylor. who made a pleas ing introductory speech. lauding Dr. Cunningham very highly. Dr. Cum ningham very highly. pr. Cunningham chose as his subject "The Supremacy of and Obedience of Law" He brought out many good points during the course of his remarks which brought forth liberal applause. In speaking of laws. he said that many are kicking at the wrong people for some law in force. the ones who made the errors In the laws are the ones who are to blame. He said that while We may differ in some ideas or views. we all agree that the laws of our land are supreme. He urged those present to obey the laws and if any of them work against them. go to the Lesisla- ture and get the Legislature to enact amendments to correct the evils if any exist.

EUFAULA EXCITED
NEGRO DISCOVERED IN TELE-
 PHONE OPERATORS ROOM.
The Girl Screamed and Blew Police Whistle Which Probably Saved Her From Assault-Brute
 as Arrested.

Eufaula, June 6.--(Special. )-The telephone operating room which was occupied by Miss Lizzie Thompson last night, was entered this morning at 3 o'clock by Lawrence Davis, a we'll known negro. who is employed as jam itor by the company and he is now lodged in jail here.
 Late at night, the young woman re- tired. securing all the doors, and was suddenly awakened by an unusual noise in the room about o'clock. Thinking perhaps 1t was only pet dog that belonged to some of the op- eratives she quickly flashed an elec- trlc light that was swinging near, when tv her amazelnent the form of d negro man was revealed who bore what she supposed was a knife or pis- toI in his hand. She immediately screamed when the negro endeavored to conceal himself
 The young woman then quickly gave the alarm with a police whistle that had been provided her and this waS' promptly answered, whereupon tho brute fled. escaping through the win dow upon the awning and thence to the stairway. the same route by which he had gained an entrance. Upon the arrival of the police, they were put in knowledge of what had trans pired and succeeded in capturing the man this morning about 2 o'clock. A small pistol was found on his person.
 It was found that he had changed his clothing, 1t is thought, with a view perhaps of concealing his identity, but was readily recognized as being the one whom the young woman described. When closely questioned, he confess ed that he had entered the room and endeavored to make some explanation in connection with his work in clean- ing up about the premises. which in no way accounted for his strange at- titude.
 The city was in a fever of excite ment throughout the morning and the matter has been the subject of so much unfavorable comment that slight fears were entertained that the brute might be dealt with without due process of law.
 The young woman's heroism in dis playing such coolness under such ex- citing circumstances and in attracting the attention of the police so quickly thereby effecting the arrest of the would be -assaulter, has been highly commended. She came to this city from Greenville and has many warm friends here. all of whom are conRrat- ulating her upon her fortitude and escape from the impending danger that threatened her.

 ABLY SIGN BILL.
The Bill Was Introduced by Represen- tative Stokes and Passed by Legfslature-Other News
 of PensacOia.

Pensacola. Fla. June 6.-(SpeciaL)-- Hon. John P. Stokes, one of Escambia's s representatives to the Florida Legis- lature, has returned home. the session having come to conclusion, and an- nounces that he Is certain that the Governor will sign the bill which will effectually put the "loan sharks out of business in Florida, and which was in- troduced by MT. Stokes and passed during the last days of the session.
 The introduction of such a bill was one of the measures advocated by MT. Stokes during his campaign for the Legislature, and the one which he drafted and got through is very dras- tic on that class of citizens who make a livelihood through the loaning of money at exorbitant rates Possibly no city in the South contains as many loan offices as Pensacola. and they have become so numerous and their work so demoralizingt as to really af. feet business. The bill becomes effec- tive August l, allowing all to close up their business in ample time and re- tire. This is considered one of the few really good measures passed by the Legislature in the matter of remedial legislation.

USE OF PULP WOOD
INTERESTING STATISTICS ISSUED
 BY CENSUS BUREAU.
Over Three Million Cords of Wood Were Used Last Year By the
 Pulp Milis at Big


 Washington June 6.-(Special.)- Two hundred and ffty-one pulp mills in the United States used 3,346.1Os cords of wood. and made 2,11s,s47 tons of pulp last year.
 Spruce has always been the leading pulp wood. and 1t furnished sixty-four per cent of the total quantity used. The rapid development of the wood pulp industry in the last ten years has rendered the domestic supply of spruce insufiicient to meet the de- mands upon 1t. and consequently im- portations from Canada have been heavy. In 1908 our pulp mills con- stunned nearly one and one-half million cords of domestic spruce. and over 670,00a cords of imported spruce, mak- ing the imports of spruce forty-fve per cent of the domestic supply.
 Next to spruce, the most important puIp wood is hemlock; 669,1 cords of 1t were converted into pulp last year. All the hemlock used was of domestic origin, and most of 1t was produced in the Lake States and Pennsylvania. Although now used in less quantity than spruce and hemlock, poplar has long been a standard pulp wood. A small quantity of poplar is imported,
 
 more than 30O.000 cords used last year was cut from domestic timber. Spruce. hemlock and poplar made up ninety per cent of the total quantity of pulp wood used. The remainder was supplied by many species, the most important of which were pine. cottonwood and balsam.
 The wood used by the pulp mills last year cost them a little more than nnO 0O0 nr aVaraRa Of &09R nar cord, against an average of $S.21 in 1907. The most costly wood used was imported spruce, with an average val ue of $10.60 per cord. The average for domestic spruce was $S.76 per cord and for poplar. $S.04 per cord. The cheapest wood used in large quantI- ty was hemlock, the cost being s6.O2 per cord. Owing to the uncertain bus mess conditions the total consump- tion of pulp wood in 1908 was nearly 16 per cent less than in 1907, but this did not pgeVent considerable in crease in the price of wood. The high price of wood Is making the manufac- turers be constantly on the lookout for cheaper raw material and one of the most encouraging developments has been the increased use of slab wood and other sawmill waste This drift in the industry is clearly inji- cated by the fact that 193,234 cords of mill waste were reported as con- sumed in pulp manufacture during 1907, while 2b2,ss6 cords, an increase of thirty per cent. were used in 1908.
 These statements are based upon a preliminary report of the consumption of pulp wood in the United States in 1908 just issued by the Bureau of the Census. The Bureau of the Census and the Forest Service cooperate in the collection of annual statistics oi forest products. and this preliminary

Navy Yard to Survive.

Thai the Pensacola navy yard will survive even the present agitation to abandon certain navy yards of the South is the belief of those who are we'll posted on naval matters, and also by the attitude of the Department in assigning work to the local yard, which Is probably the best equipped in the South. During the past few weeks much work has been assigned here, and 1t is stated that much more is to be done. More men are now being em- ployed regularly at the navy yard than at any time in six months, and with the arrival of vessels to be rebuilt a still larger force will be put on. While Secretary Meyer has announced that a big reduction will be made in operat- ing expenses 1t Is not calculated that any of the reductions will come from the Pensacola yard.
