DEATH OF MRS. w. D.
CHiPLEY A SAD BLOW

Editor Pensacola Journal.
The death of this noble Christian
lady is indeed a sad and lamentable
fact-and as sudden and unlocked for
as sad and lamentable.
While Mrs. Chipley was never
strong or remarkable. for good
health, she was able through many
years to do vigorous and effective
work, and to the end showed a con-
slant and noble devotion to the work
of her Lord and Master. To the con-
vention at Baltimore she went, as she
always did to the meeting of that
great body-and we know that no
member Of that body heard of the
triumphs Of the Lords work with
greater joy and happy satisfaction.
But sickness soon seized upon her,
and of a dangerous and alarming
type, and brought to a close her earn
est and beautiful life. Why the Lord
so summarily removed her from earth
we know not-fof from a human
standpoint she might have spent
many years more in the service of
her Lord, and to the manifest adYan-
tage of His cause in the world. But
some day we will know when we
shall no longer look at the things
which are temporal" but the things
which are eternal" It was the high
privilege of the writer of these lines
to- be her pastor for a number of
years; and through constant devo-
ton she manifested to the cause of
God, her conspicuous liberalty to her
church and denomination, and the up-
ward trend, which was ever apparent
in all her movements. stamped her in
his opinion, and many other devoted
workers., as a great and enthusiastic
builder in the Kingdom of Jesus
Christ.
But she is gone from earth-she
rests from her labors. the labors of
a long and blessed Christian life
and the words come to use who are
left, from our Divine Master, "Tbe
day goeth away and the shadows of
the evening are stretched out"-"Be
We also ready"

you for the delightful entertainment
accorded our association by your city
and I take a great deal of pleasure
in giving you below some OF the
things that l saw which impressed
me most in your city.
In the first place. you have one OF
the best hotels that | have ever had
the pleasure of stopping at and one
of the cleverest men at the head of il.
This is bound to be a drawing card
for your city. The public-spirited-
ness of your city officials and Cham
Der of Commerce is unexcelled and
what l consider the secret Of any
city's success is that its citizens
have confidence in their town and are
backing their confidence by investing
their money in its real estate and
manufacturing enterprises.
Your harbor is the best of any
Southern port and is certain to be
the principal point of entry for the
Panama Canal trade as it is the near
est port from the United States by
13S miles and with this distance in

Our Greatest
Problem.

Jackson, Mississippi, is arranging
for its great state wide immigration
convention to be held June 21-22.
From the literature at hand we are
told that Governor Noel called this
meeting for the purpose of effecting
a permanent organization, electing Of
ficers, board of directors, and appoint
ing committees. Each county in the
state will be organized, lands listed
and a large sum of money raised an
nually to advertise Mississippi to the
outside world. 1t will be the most
largely attended of any convention
ever held in the south.
This is a worthy movement, one
that will be far-reaching in its effect
for good to Mississippi and The south.
We quite agree that every southern
state should organize statewide i'm
migration bureau, and when this is &C
complished the various state bureaus
should be welded into south-wide
organization
While the natural trend of northern
ers and fasteners is to the south, at
the same time our friends of those
sections should be encouraged more to
come and cast their lot among us.
The south must have more capital,
and more farmers. We need capital
to develop our great resources and
farmers to till our soil.
From the farms the negro is drift
ing to the city. Once In town, always
there. The scarcity Of labor and the
allurements of the white lights have
also detracted, at an alarming ratio,
hordes of white farmers all over the
south from the burrows.
With orr farms being deserted by
both white and black it is fast coming
to the point where the food demand
is much greater than the supply.
leave their appetites on the farm. So
1t can be seen that it is up 20 the rep
resentative people of our section to
check if possible this needless tide of
migration to the towns and cities. and
encourage a desirable element from
other sections Of our own great coun-
try to come among us.
1t is the great problem of our peo-
pie today to build up our farms, har-
ness our streams and develop our
other various industries. To do so, re.
quires more capital and more men.

STRAY BULLET
PROVED FATAL
TO EMMERSON
WHO WAS SHOT AC-
CIDENTALLY WHILE ABOARD
SMACK, DIED EARLY YESTER-
DAY AT NAVAL HOSPITAL.

After about a week hanging be-
tween life and death, Edgar Bnmer-
son, the fisherman, died yesterday
morning at the naval hospital, Bar
rancas, from the effects of the bullet
which found Judgment in his groin,
and which came from the target range
then being used by artillerymen Of the
Twenty-second Company, c. A. c.
Although the mans death occurred
before daylight, it was reported to the
secretary of the fishermen's union five
or six hours later. The information
was brought to the city by messenA
ger aboard a tug from the post, which
reached here about $50 o'clock. Sec
rotary John Holm Immediately went
to the post and officially took charge
of the remains, causing the body to be
brought to the city for embaIming and
preparation for shipment The body
was at local undertaking shop last
night.
As soon as the information became
generally known along the water
front, flags on fishing smacks went to
half-mast and other manifestations of
sorrow over the untimely death of
their companion were shown by his
surviving comrades. They will attend
the funeral in a large body should the
interment he ordered here, but it is
held awaiting orders from his rela-
tives who have been notified of his
fate. His sister may come on here to
look after his affairs It is understood
that Emmerson, being a man of a
saving disposition, had built up quite
bank account in the savings depart,
ment of one of the local banks
ic -a+ Isl
official report had it that the soldiers
were practicing on the target range as
usual and that the smack John NJ
Keen, of the E. E. Saunders Fish Com
pany, was proceeding to sed accom-
panied by two other vessels of the
same fishing fleet. When at a point
between the black and red buoys, it
was reported, shots began to fall
thickly and to sing alarmingly about
the boat, and Emmer5on, first mate
on the vessel, who was standing III
forward, was seen to pitch and fall
from the effects Of a wound in the
groin. The flag went up to half mast
at once, and the shooting was
stopped.
Just as soon as possible. after it be
came known at the post that the bull
let from the target range had found a
human target, an investigation was
started and was rigidly pushed, Col
Alien, the commanding officer, being
personally in charge of such investi
quiry. Col. Allen saw to it that all
ranges were taken, all lines marked
out and everything necessary to reach
conclusion as to the real causes OF
| the bullets being fired in the direction
| that they were, but could not hold
any one person guilty of any reckless
shooting. The investigation stopped
| at that point.
What further proceedings, if any
will be taken. have not yet been de
termined, though attorneys are looking
| into the matter.

The Consumer
Cornered.

We take the following from the
esteemed New Orleans States:
The consumer who is addicted to the
beefsteak habit is now convinced that
the beef trust gets him both "a gwine
and comm" and that there is no
way for him to beat the game of
Observation-Disclosures A short time
ago Secretary Wilson, a kindly soul
no doubt. but apparently susceptible
to the Establishments of the meat
packers, undertook to show the people
how they were wasting their money
by buying the better quality of beef,
when there was as much, If not more,
nutriment in the cheaper cuts.
In order to help the idea along the
government published and circulated a
cook book, which had been carefully
edited by Secretary Wilson, and num-
bers Of families turned to the cheaper
cuts to save money. This caused an
increased demand for these cuts and
as result they have advanced great
ly in price while there has been n
small reduction. in the price of the
better quality of beef
The packers explain the new figures
by saying that they are necessary to
euualize the demand which now exists
for what was formerly cheap beef. So
Secretary wilson's cook book has
served the purpose for which II was
issued, and the people have been
buncoed again.
What can a poor helpless consumer
do anyway? If he quits eating he will
starve, and it is fast coming to the
point where the average man can hard
ly afford to eat. 1t costs too much,
and so far he hasn't devised a means
whereby he can retrench, under the
present conditions.

UNION MEN ARE TRYING TO MAKE TIE-UP COUNTRY
 WIDE.
.SHOCKEDAT LAWLESSNESS
Leaders DepIore Acts of Saturday. Agents in Every Big City Will Be Asked to Organize
 Employees.

New York, Nov. 1.-To make the expressmen's strike nationwide is now the aim of Vice President Valen- tine Hoffman of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. He got in touch with Daniel J. Tobin of Indian apolis, president of the International, who is in Boston.
 It was decided to instruct the unions organizers in every big city in the country to organize all the ex- pressmen Should the express com panies fail to accede to the express mems demands, MT Hoffman said, these concerns will find that some 150,000 of their employees will refuse to work
 Call to Spread Strike.
 The union officers determined to call out all the employees of the small er express companies in Greater New York and Jersey City who have not been affected previously by the strike Vice-President Hoffman sus' poets that many of these smaller com panies have been secretly carrying bundles of the American, Wells-Fargo and Adams Express companies. This will bring the total of strikers up from about 6,000 to more than 10000.
 Delegates from the drivers on dry goods store wagons announced that they probably would add their names to the list of strikers. Their firms, they say, compel them to call at the express company storehouses to get their own consignnients, and in some instances carry parcels for others.
 Unionists Shocked at Lawlessness.
 The strike leaders say they were shocked by the extent of the lawless- ness of their men Saturday and re- solved to carry out in earnest their precept; use absolutely no vio- lence."
