RED ROCK, A
GREAT SUCCESS
OVER 10000 BOTTLES OF THIS
FAMOUS GINGER ALE SOLD IN
THE PENSACOLA TERRITORY IN
THREE WEEKS.

T D. Fields and Chas S. Emerson,
who have been in Pensacola and vi
cinitY, with headquarters at the San
Carlos hotel, for three weeks, repre-
senting the Red Rock Co., of Jackson
vile, left last evening for cambridge,
Ga.
While in this territory these hustling
statesmen have sold over ten thousand
bottles of Red Rock Ginger Ale to the
trade, the orders going through the
welEknown jobbers, the Welles-Kahn
Co., of this city.
The first solid car, which was ship
ped here two weeks ago, has been sold
out and another is on the way from
the factory.
Red Rock is showing all of its old
time popularity; in fact, it seems to
be a greater favorite than ever this
year, not only at the soda fountains,
but as a house beverage. Its continu-
ed success for ten years has been
something phenomenal and this would
be impossible if it were not an article
of merit-pure and healthful.
1--WE are more than pleased with our
business in Pensacola and this terri
tory" said Mr.. Emerson. q, as he was
leaving. Pensacola is a hummer and
predict a great future for it. The
Journal is a splendid paper and an
excellent advertising medium. 1t has

turns"

There is hope for the pedestrian yet,
as may be seen from the story from
New York to the effect that Richard
Sage, a seyenteen-year-old chauffeur,
who was convicted of manslaughter
in the second degree while on a joy
ride, was sentenced to spend fifteen
years in the Elmira reformatory by
Judge Dixie, in the county court, Brook
Ign. Sage ran down Catherine Nc
Coy on May 7. He tried to escape,
but was prevented by a driver, who
put his team of horses directly in the
path of the motor car. Judge Dixie
remarked that the next joy-rider who
was brought before him would be SEN
fenced to Sing Sing. You are only
seventeen years of age" remarked the
Judge, land it seems to me that the
state of New York is guilty itself in
permitting such a youth as you to
drive an automobile in our public
thoroughfares. That you were joy
riding was proved at the trial, for you
had several young women with you
and you were out without your en-
ployer's consent"

is OPPOSED TO ANY
MORE BLOCK PAVING

Editor Pensacola Journal.
It has been decided, by a majority
of the votes cast yesterday, that Pen
sacola is to have more sewers and
more paving. The market proposition
was defeated, no doubt, because there
was no promise as to the regulation
Of same
AS to the sewerage extension. ! will
say we are lucky in the peoples
choice, as nothing will add more to the
health of the city than a perfect san
itary sewer system. However, It was
my intention to say few words con-
corning the quality Of paving we are
to get as a result of the new bond
issue. 1t is being demonstrated daily
that Pensacola does not need any more
WOOD block paving, owing to the
climatic conditions.
Anyone can see that the sun draws
out a substance from the wood block
paving resembling tar. This is not
tar by any means, but simply the
creosote which is pumped into the
blocks to preserve them. Therefore,
every day the sun shines hot the life
of the wood block paving is consid'
erably shortened.
Aside from this, there is the fact
that the blocks cannot be "grouted"
together and therefore the strain On
the concrete foundation is greatly N
creased.
I hope that the entire new bond
issue for paving will be spent for
paving of brick.

ABOUT DEMONSTRATING
Pensacola, Fla, June u, 1910.

Pensacola, Fla, June II, 1910.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
Being one Of the government census
takers for the city, I wish to state
that a great many families were enum-
Grated without their knowledge, and
especially the case among the colored
classes and the working class OF
whites, those people being out when
their home was visited, and the infor-
nation necessary having been furnish
ed by the neighbor next door. And,
of course, when they were asked by
the special agent sent out by the city
if they had been enumerated they
would say no. being, of course, perfect
ly honest about 1t, not knowing that
they had been counted.
If the city will compare notes with
her Uncle Sam she will find so many
duplicates that when same is called
out there will be but very few that
escaped the nose counters for Uncle
Sam. Hardly five hundred dollars
worth, in my opinion.
Very respectfully,
G. w. GREEN.

Explaining a
Mystery.

The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot stands
up in its place and submits this as a
clincher:
Doubtless there are good and SUM-
cient reasons why telegraph and tele.
phone lines should be brought under
some reasonable measure Of govern
ment regulation, but what sort of gov
eminent favoritism is it that, while
subjecting these corporations to con-
troll, permits the express companies to
go without any supervision at all, free
to follow only their own sweet will
both as to rates charged and the gen.
eral conduct of their business? And
which secures and has long secured
such favoritism?
To this particular query We will not
go into details to answer, but as a
general proposition, we would remove
the mystery that beclouds our es-
teemed contemporaries vision by ex-
planning that, whenever man essays
to represent the masses against the
plumber of the corporate interests, he
is invariably ridiculed and jeered by
no lesser journalistic lights than the
Norfolk virginian-Pilot, and other pa
pers of its kind.
Any man-no matter who he is
who dares to protest against plumber
and seeks the suffrage of the plum
dered that he may be enabled to wage
an effective fight against these
marauding interests, is Immediately
denounced as ranting demagogue
and peanut politician by just such
conservative" papers as our Virginia
contemporary. It has come to the
point in this country where it requires
more dauntless courage in the bosom
Of the man who would be "reformer"
than in the times when the Puritans
of New England made hideous the
Sabbath day by their sickly, puerile
structures on society. The man, who
in those dark days dared to protest
against the bigotry and intolerance
that poisoned the hearts of the church
people, was lucky if he escaped with
his natural life.
The only difference then and now
Is that the rebel" then was liable to
bodily harm, while now the controlled
press Of goth century America take
upon their pious selves the duty" Of
infiicting, If possible, political-and
sometimes social-death upon the man
who has the temerity to cry out
against the evils that beset US.
1t requires courage and lots of it for
a leader to proffer his services to the
masses Of the American people. He
incurs thereby, the Ill will of the So
called conservative" press and his
position is SO distorted and mfsrepre-
scented by this class of newspapers
that he. is made to appear most
ridiculously before the voters. He
cannot get fair hearing.
It is the "conservatiye-let-wel
enough-alone" candidate who too often

nets by many of our editors. His
being is made to embody all the vir-
tues that one man could well look af-
ter, while his faults are whitewashed
with printers ink.
Fortunately. however, the American
people are waking up to this fraud,
and We are made to have hope that
even the express companies" may yet
