The Old Time
Sanded Floor.

The Ocala Banner discusses as fol
lows a subject that is thoroughly
familiar to all of the older citizens OF
Pensacola:
We print elsewhere in today's Ban
ner, Oliver Goldsmith's famous poem
'"The Village Inn" 1t will be noted
that the following lines occur therein
Imagination fondly stoops to trace
The parlor splendors Of that festive
place;
The whitewashed wall, the nicely
sanded floor"
The nicely sanded floor" in -the
olden times was a conspicuous mark
not only in every village inn," but
in most of the rural and village homes
The sand served in place of carpets
rugs and mats, and no dining room
floor was ever .marred by grease
CRIME or dirt of any sort.
We remember that when we first
came to Ocala the dining room of the
Ocala House was as regularly sanded
as the other parts of the house were
swept. Beautiful white Lake Weir
sand was used, and the beautiful
snow" looked not more pure. But il
the HOOr OIL IHlS well huOWu MOTEL was
sanded now what would the guests
think. and one can well imagine their
varying comments.
The beautiful sanded floor is Gus
tom that was long since abandoned.
1t was not so long ago that this
same nicely sanded floor was a com
mon sight in Pensacola and particu
larly among the old French and Span
known Pensacola institution, Roch's
coffee house, sands its floors mot its
sugar. regularly, and the visitor to
Pensacola may observe here any day
the ancient custom of which Gold

THE SPIRITUAL CHURCH OF

The great mystery which was not
known throughout the age, kept
secret since the world began, but was
revealed by the Spirit to the Apostle.

The Town Signboard
A Good Thing.

The Jacksonville Times Union makes
the following very sensible and perth
nent suggestion:
First impressions remain and any
argument addressed to the eye reaches
the understanding instantaneoUslv.
Thousands Of people are now passing
through the state on the trains and
these are curious about US and our
ways. Too often the passengers are
pulled away after hve minutes stop
at a town without even the memory OF
its name. But every town has some
special feaJure-every town in the
state could offer an appeal that would
linger in the memory of some pas
senger like a seed planted in good
ground to bring forth crop in due
season. Such an impression every
town should seek to make and when
the visitor returns he should find it
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1910-01-16

possible to tell of something interest
ing that will bring the name to the
notice of his friends and people.
Every town should have signboard
that would catch the eye of all the
passengers on every train-put one on
each side If you will. Paint the name
in big, plain letters and not hero
glyphics on which time will be wasted.
Below the name advertise the special
features or dvantages-declare your
wants and recite the opportunities for
business. Give some address to which
letters seeking information may be df-
rected and make sure that all these
letters are answered. Do not neglect
these boards until they grow unsightly
lest they become proofs that the town
is asleep rather than awake-keep
them attractive and 1t would be well
to enclose them in a little plot bright
with flowers if possible.
Travellers keep diaries and they
always have memories in which pleas
ant impressions are stored. Get the
name of your town in those diaries
and keep a bright spot in those mem
cries. Such places are worth much
more to town than the cost Of taking
information is worth answering: the
person who writes may not come, but
business men are willing to pay
heavily merely to keep their names
before the public. Why shouldn't
towns be as wise as business men?
Pensacola might profit by this sug-
gestion and at very small expense.
A few sign boards erected between
Montgomery and Flomaton, and be-
tween Mobile and Flomaton as well,
would present Pensacola's name to
every daytime passenger either COM
ing South or going North-and thou
sands of them who do not know that
PENSACOLA is on the map travel over
that line every year. Suppose that
ten miles north of Flomaton there
were a sign board which read some
thing like this:
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1910-01-16

Suppose that dozen of these sign
boards with appropriate reading mat
ter were erected on either side of the
railroad at suitable places between
Montgomery and Mobile. Does any
one imagine that a daytime passenger
on that route could pass by or get
away without being impressed that
Pensacola must either be the real
thing or pretty close to it?
These sign boards could be erected,
kept in repair, and repainted with new
signs every year at an almost tritiing
expense. The Journal would suggest
that the Chamber of Commerce might
profitably look into the matter.

The L. & Ms Methods
To Be Looked Into.

A corporation, like an individual
cannot persistently lie to the people
or the courts without sooner or later
being found out. That seems to be
the case with the Louisville & Nash.
vile railroad.
1t Is gratifying news to Pensacola in
particular and to West Florida In gen.
-eral that the interstate commerce com
mission has at last decided to look
into the l.. & Ms methods of doing
business here.
The Interstate commerce commits.
sion Is sort of an inquistive institu.
ton and it likes to get information
sometimes that the various common
carriers Of the country-mostly rail.
roads-have very great aversion to
making public. The thing which
seemsSto have excited the commits,
sion's curiosity In this particular case
is the status Of the L. & N. railroad
company's terminal facilities in Pen
sacola. Are they a>part of the prop
erty of the company as common car
rier or are they simply so much pri-
vate property in which the public has
no interest? That is the, question
which the commission will no doubt
try 20 determine.
When a Pensacola shipper who had
been refused the use of the L. & N.
wharves in Pensacola took the case
into court, the railroad company con-
tended that these wharves were pri-
vate property, separate and apart from
its property as common carrier, and
that 1t could therefore do as It pleased
with them. The court of last resort
sustained this view and the railroad
company was left free to give It's
friends the use OF that private prop
erty" and to deny the use Of 1t to any
one against whom 1t had a grudge or
with whom it did not care to deal.
But when the Florida state railroad
commission undertook to fix freight
and passenger rates on the L. & N. S
lines in Florida, the officials of the
company then swore that those
wharves were part of its system as
a common carrier, that the expenses
of these wharves were charged up to
the Pensacola division of the line, and
that this division could not afford to
make lower freight and passenger
rates because of the heavy expenses
of operation, of which the wharf ex-
penses were a part.
Now the L. & n. railroad company
or its officials for Tiled in one case
or the other and, like the individual
who makes a practice of lying, the
company has now been found out, or
is at least likely to be found out
West Florida people, who have for
years been paying the L. & N. four
cent passenger rate while ether people
in other sections were riding for two,
two and half, and three cents a mile,
will be gratifed to know that the fed
eral commission is at last looking into
the company's methods. And Pensa-
cola business men, against whom the
L. & N. has Disseminated by this ex-
cess rate for so long a time, will be
equally gratified.

Boost, boom and build-that's all.

1t is enough TO make anyone sad to
walk through the old cemetery and see
how the place is neglected. 1t jars the
nerves to see the marks of cows hoofs
on new-made grave, or tombstone
spattered with filth, to say nothing OF
the flowers cropped off short or tram
ped into the dirt. The back gate is
in such condition that any animal can
push through it. It's a good thing
that very few people from other parts
of the country go through the old
cemetery. They would form a very
unfavorable opinion of Ocala to see
one of its cemeteries turned into a
pasture.-Ocala Star.

ness with which he describes it that
