NEED FACTORY
TO CANPRODUCE
SAYS HARDY
FACTORY IN PENSA-
COLA WILL DEVELOP COUNTRY,
HE sAYS-FARMERs MAKING
PREPARATIONS TO GROW PRO-
DUcE FOR FAIR EXHIBIT.

THE Journals comments on the or
ganization of a canning factory for
Pensacola has created a great deal or
interest in the surrounding country"
aid l.. w. Hardy, Of Cottage Hill, who
had charge of the community exhibits
at the Interstate Fair, when seen In
this city yesterday.
That is exactly what we need to
develop the farming industry and II a
canning factory could be brought to
Pensacola 1 believe that in connection
with the syrup industry could be
made to reach large proportions If at
tention is given to that too. The lands
here produce fine sugar cane which
makes the best grade of syrup in the
world"
He says that with a canning factory
to help furnish a sure market for
everything raised that the farmers
would largely increase the acreage and
that other farmers would fill up the
country.
The recent fair did much to stimu-
late the farmers in this county, says
Mr.. Hardy, so much so that they have
determined to see that Escambia
county has an exhibit at the next fair
which will surpass the other counties
two to one.
Almost every farmer, he says, is
going to contribute to the county eX-
hibit and some are going after the
Individual prizes.

Slayer Of DR..
S.B.ALEXANDER
IS CONVICTED
DENTIST WHO WAS KILLED IN
MARIANA FOUR YEARS AGO
WAS POPULAR MAN-DEFEND-
ANT FOUND GUILTY OF MAN
SLAUGHTER.
Special to the Journal.

Mariana, Dec. 9.-Finding the de-
PENDANT guilty of manslaughter and
recommending that the judge show
mercy to him, was the verdict of the
jury in the case Of ]. V. White, who
was accused of killing DR.. S. B. Alex
ander, a dentist, in April of 1903.
The dead man was well known
throughout West Florida and one of
the most popular citizens of the town,
while the defendant was a deputy
sheriff. The two men had some words
earlier in the evening in the sheriff S
Office, where they went at the invita-
ton of the defendant to discuss an in
suit alleged to have been offered the
defendants wife in the aftarnoon, but
were stopped. The case stirred the en-
tire community more than any occur
renee for many years.
The first trial, which was a bitterly
contested legal battle, resulted in a
verdict of murder in the first degree
with a recommendation for mercy.
The case was then appealed to the su-
preme court, which reversed the decis-
ion and remanded it back to the cir
cult court. When the case came up
in the circuit court the judge ordered

6131, Acts of 1911.
Mr.. Marye was thereupon summoned
to the meeting for a conference, and
was requested to explain in full de-
tail the building which was contem-
plated by his plans and drawings.
After hearing and questioning Mr..
Marye, and being satisfied that under
his plans a very suitable building
would be secured at a cost not ex-
ceeding the amount available, It was,
upon motion, resolved that the COM
mission do employ P. Thornton Marye,
Of Atlanta, as it's architect for the
said building, his services as such
architect to embrace the furnishing to
the commission of exhaustive working
Specifications. and also to embrace en-
tire supervision Of the construction of
the said building.
Mr.. Marye stated that II would re-
quire about sixty days for him to pre-
pare and submit proper working speci-
f1cations; that when he did submit
same, he proposed that they should be
exhaustive and complete.
There being no further business for
consideration at the present time, the
commission thereupon adjourned sub
ject to the call Of the governor.

a very careful examination and COM

HELP THE SALVATION ARMY IN
ITS WORK FOR POOR OF THE CITY

What would you do If you We're call
ed upon to provide Christmas dinner
for nearly a half million people
hungry people, at that-and pick out
Christmas presents for an other 100000
children?
This is the gigantic undertaking of
the Salvation Army in the United
States this Christmas time. Funds
are now being raised for the local
branches part on this great under
taking.
Y:... Salvation Army has every right
90 claim that its annual free Christ
mas dinner to the poor of this country
is the largest and greatest philan-
throphy of its kind given by any or
Eanization.
And when you consider that this
annual feast for the thousands are
made possible by the small contribu-
lions OF tho ruultitudes Of common
people, they may hold also that it is
the most popular enoert OF it's kind.
Last year a total of S33,T42 people
were fed at Christmas time by the
Salvation Army and 1885 children
at Thanksgiving time In the United
States.
These annual dinners in large cities
by basket and table, and in smaller
cities by family baskets only, have
been the means Of bringing the Army
workers in closer touch with the poor
than any Of it's other charities.
The presence of the Salvation lassie
in blue, with her arms full of toys
and basket laden with good things to
eat, is the exclusive Santa Claus Of
thousands of poor children through
out the country.
At the great Christmas dinners in
New York at Madison Square Garden
from 20, 900 to 10000 men and women
nf al r1aI ~ ia n he
taking Of the bounffful spread before
them. Some bent with old age, the
lame, the blind: many showing the
marks of privation; others with the
mark of the criminal: some with looks
OF refinement; mothers with babes in
arms, all go to make up a picture of
1ife's other side.
Nearly 10000 children in the after
noon gather around the mammoth
Christmas tree and receive presents of
toys and shoes and clothing. They
represent all nationalities and creeds.
But it's Christmas and the spirit of
good cheer is in the land, and the
Salvation Army tries to pass on that
spirit in its full sense to the poor and
downtro6den in the name of Him
whom they love and serve.
While the Salvation Army's work is
of course mainly evangelistic, it's work
of social reformation and charity is an
qualification of its evangelistic efforts,
and vastly important application.
The Army not only breaches, but it
reduces its preaching to permanent
lasting good.
Tt recognizes the nature of man and
understands that eternal punishment
preached to soul in need of potatoes
is unavailing.

present term.

the defendants attorney entered de-
murrer to the case going to trial and
attempted to have the Indictment
quashed on a technical ground. 1t be-
ing charged by the attorneys that the
trial judge directed the jury to report
q mistrial before that body had taken
sufficient time to deliberate over the
evidence. The point was contested by
the prosecution and the entire day,
Monday, was spent wrangling over the
question. After both sides had eX-
hautsed their reasons, Judge Perkins
promptly overruled the objections and
ordered the case to proceed.

the cooperation of the school teach
ers, mail carriers and public officials.
The charity operations of the Saliva
ton Army go on all the year round.
Locally no organization is called
upon more and accomplishes more
than the Army as will be shown by
the following records of work done in

ADJUSTMENTS.
beneath the Veil"

A young artist is a great lover of the
beautiful and has a natural horror of
anything repulsive. He falls in love
with a girl who satisfies his artistic
requirements. But he fails to realize
that love, unless founded on something
deeper than mere beauty, is not love
at all.
The girls father, a worldly wise in
ventor, does not approve of his daugh-
ter's choice. He realizes that the
young artist has many limitations, and
doubts if he will make his daughter
happy. The girl, when told of his
fears, at first laughs them to scoru.
Then she begins to doubt, herself.
Finally a chance comes to test the
fathers theory. There Is an explosion
in the laboratory, and the girl, in try
ing to save her father, is badly in
jured. The artist hurries around to
the house, and finds that the girl he
loves Is disfgured for life. She offers
him his freedom and returns him his
ring.
The young man is not of the stuff
of which heroes are made. His love
cannot survive the loss of the girls
beauty He takes the ring and hurries
away. And the fears of the father are
proven justified.
AS time rolls on the artist finds that
he cannot forget the girl he once
hoped to wed. Gradually he forgets
her beauty, and thinks more and more
of her character and mental attributes.
He realizes at last that it Is the girl
he wants, and even were she as ugly
as a bag life will be wilderness
without her.
HUmbly he returns to the house, and
again pleads his suit. At first the girl
repels him, finally she consents to take
him back, after he has convinced her
OF the sincerity of his love. She is
heavily yelled when they meet, but she
he ask her to. Her physical appear
ance is of no Importance he tells her,
and so far as he is concerned, this is
the truth. For he is no longer the
artist, he Is the sincere lover.
Still wearing her veil, but her
beauty regained, the girl accompanies
him to the altar. When they return
to his studio, the veil is lifted, and
with a radiant smile she goes to his
arms.
This is, in short, the story Of fea-
ture Thanhouser picture shown at the
Elite theatre today. "a Revolutionary
Romance" also part of today's pro-
gram. is another picture worth seeing,
and the two pictures mentioned to-
gether with laugh provoking comedy
which will be put on today win make
another one Of those ideal Sunday pro-
grams for which the Elite has become
famous.
Urged by his many friends in Pen
sacola and by the management OF the
Elite, Mr.. M. g. Rayfield, the eminent
baritone, has abandoned his tour with
the Manhattan Opera Company and
has accepted another engagement tt

A real newspaper man off duty is one

part is enacted by George Wright, who
Is such a success in it that 1t seems
to have been specially created for him.
Merkle, the newspaper man in the
comedy, is broken-down journalist.
He is not broken down because of dis
sipation but because of over work and
hundreds OF members Of this busiest
of professions have beheld across the
footllght a realistic presentation OF
their own symptoms after a day of
grinding brain tasks. He even eats
with a newspaper propped up before

Merkle. as impersonated by Mr..
Wright, is a crouch. He realizes this
himself and he doesn't care who knows
it. He makes the other boarders in
the realistic New York city boarding
house very uncomfortable at times but
the landlady endures him because he
is the only one in the assorted crowd
of theatrical and commercial guests
who pays his board "reg'lar." In the
end he achieves the gilded dream of
thousands Of newspaper workers. He
obtains part control of a country
newspaper many miles from New York
and the way his crouch thaws out in
the fresh country air is a wonderful
piece OF transformation.
