FAIR RAINS
ABOUT KELLER
J. W. ClOuDUS SAYS BEST IN
THREE YEARS-GooD CROPS A
CERTAINAY.

we have had the best rain about
Keller that We have had in three
years, and the creeks are full and
plenty OF stock water can now be
secured" said J. w. Cloudus of Kel-
Ter yesterday. There seems to have
been a general rain over the ives ern
portion of the county Tuesday after
noon and might and the farmers are
all iubilant. The rains came too late
to benefit the small grains TO any
degree, but cotton and corn never
looked better in this county than at
present nor were the farmers ever
closer up With their work. Aside from
what damage it did to the crops, the
scarcity of rain this spring has re-
tarded the growth of weeds and
grass in the crops making them much
easier to work
Unless something unforeseen hap
pens, there will be immense crops of
cotton and corn marketed in Ard
more this fall.

Mr., Dexter is very much interested

due him, perhaps more than to anyone
else, for the successful outcome of the
effort to send the car out, as he was
the originator OF the idea and It was
at his suggestion that the Commercial
Association took the matter into con-
sideration. Since the association de-
cided to send the car Mr.. Dexter has
been uneiring In his efforts to arouse
interest in the proposition and has
been OF much assistance in arranging

ENTERS
CONGRESSIONAL
! RACE IN SECOND
CHAIRMAN OF THE RAILROAD
COMMISSION SAYS HE WILL
MAKE THE RACE BUT WILL NOT
BEGIN ACTIVE CAMPAIGN UNTIL
AFTER FIRST OF YEAR.
Special to The Journal

Tallahassee, Aug. 31-Your corre-
spondent called upon Hon. R. Hudson
Burr, chairman of the railroad COM
mission, today and asked him the d.
rect question whether he intended TO
lie a candidate for congress in the
iext democratic primaries from the
second congressional district.
Mr.. Burr answered promptly that ne
would, but that he did not intend to
begin his campaign until after the flrst
of the year, at which time he would
submit his platform to the democratic
voters of the district.
Continuing Mr.. Burr said: "The
people of the second district and the
entire state, for that matter, know my
attitude on public questions but / shall
announce one or two general PROPOSE
lions which are destined to be Of great
public interest in this as well as all
parts Of the country. You can put IT
down that l am in the race to make
winning fight"
In speaking of Mr.. Burr's candidacy
the Miami Metropolis says:
Elsewhere in the Metropolis appears
a dispatch from Tallahassee, definitely
stating that r. Hudson Burr has con-
scented to enter the race for congress
in the second congressional district.
For a number of months influential
men of the east coast have been urg-
ing Mr.. Burr to take this step and the
news of his decision will be received
with widespread satisfaction.
AS chairman of the railroad COM
mission, Mr.. Burr has won a reputa-
ton for uniform fairness and unwaver-
ing adherence to honorable practice
that has given him trusting friends
among the best people of the state re-
CARELESS of their political leaning.
Forceful, unafrald and uncontrolled,
his work in the national legislature
would be something for all Florida to
be proud Of and the people of this
district will vote for him with a conf
dence and a respect that could not be
bestowed more freely.
Naturally, as soon as orders can be
issued from St. Augustine the con-
trolled papers Of the east coast may
be expected to pour out their broad
sides on one line or another discoun-
tenancing Mr.. Burr or boosting Frank
Clark, the corporation candidate, who
has been representing the East Coast
Railroad in Washington for 10! these
many moons. It will be extremely in
teresting to watch just what course
will be followed at headquarters but
as soon as the wire Is pulled, each pa
per on the circuit will bob In obedient
activity.
Mr.. Burr is too busy to bother with
a campaign now and 1t will be the
first OF January, he says, before he
formally enters the race but in the
meantime the people of the east coast
so thoroughly weary of corporation
control, so intensely eager for q
chance to breathe an atmosphere I'M
| tainted with the breath of the Beast Of
the Interests. may rest with the feel
| ing that in r. Hudson Burr they will
have a tryIe representative.

REDSNAPPER
FACTORY NOW
IN OPERATION
BEGAN ACTUAL MANUFACTURE
OF SAUCES YESTERDAY AND
FULL FORCE is NOW AT WORK.

Actual work of manufacturing was
begun yesterday by the Redsnapper
Sauce factory. and a large quantity Of
the sauces manufa cIured by that com
pany were turned out the first day. A
full force was at work yesterday af-
ternoon when a Journal man dropped
around at the factory and the place
presented busy aspect and an air Of
business.
Thos. L. Hardin, president of the
company. is personally experimenting
the work and he was in high spirits
yesterday afternoon. He is convinced
that he can turn out much better
grade Of goods here than at other
places as the factory here is equipped
with the very latest machinery, all Of
which Mr.. Hardin personally superin-
tended the placing Of and the mate
rails, all of which can be raised in Es-
Gambia county, are said to be superior
to the products Of other localities.
The factory has. been ready for bust
ness for some time, but the work of
actual manufacture has been delayed
on account of a belated shipment of
bottles, but several thousand of them
now working smoothly.
Every bottle of sauces and catsups
turned out by this factory VIII bear
the Pensacola label, and will be an
advertisement for the city, as the
products OF this company are already
known and advertised, the factory al
ready having orders for the entire
output for some time to coms.
President Hardin told a representa-
tive of the Journal yesterday afternoon
| that he would be very glad for the
public to call and inspect the plant,
and will be glad to receive visitors at
any time.

aTha cno.sD at the Elite.

'@The mistakes that doctors make are
buried in the ground" says w. S.
Merriwether, the nautical writer.
Those made by lawyers are paid for
by their clients, but the mistakes Of
sea captains are paid for by them
selves" The captain in the Cross" a
Thanhouser picture shown at the Elite
today, certainly had to pay for his
mistake when he yielded to temptation
in the time of danger, when he lay
drunk in his cabin instead Of being on
the bridge, when his ship went on the
rocks. His mate is witness against
him in the trial and his testimony was
cause for the captains losing his GER
tif1cate and being sentenced to impris-
onment. After many years when he
got his liberty again he had but one
desire: to revenge himself on the mate
in whom he saw the cause Of his pun
ishment He hunts him up, and with
out betraying his object, gTeets the
former mate most cordially. The mate,
a good natured chap, is glad Of seeing
his old captain again, and invites him
to his home to stay there until the
end of his days
Although the captain is cunning
enough to conceal from the mate his
feeling Of fanatic hatred, his secret is
partially revealed to a visitor at the
mates home, the parish priest The
clergyman meets him at the mates
home and the captains conduct wor-
ried him. The priest leaves the house
in deep thought. He ponders over the
problem on his way home, then decides
to return to the house. He is just In
time to save the mates life, the cap
tain being about to kill him.
When the priest suddenly appears
before the captain, holding out the
cross toward him, the would-be assas-
sin thinks of his wife, and for the first
time realizes the crime he would COM
nit. He sees that the punishment he
has suffered is the consequence Of his
own fault. and he sinks at the priests
feet, begging forgiveness for the crime
he had been about to commit
The priest, finding his repentance is
sincere, secures him a refuge in a
monastery.
Miss Montenari and Mr.. Rayfisld will
sing a duet today, which promises TO
be another rare treat to music lovers.
