VIRGINIA MAN
MISS MAMIE L. HALL, FORMER
PENSACOLA RESIDENT, HAS Ro-
MANTIC WEDDING.

Many Pensacola people will be inter
ested in the romantic marriage of
MISS Mamie L. Hail. former Pensa-
cola girl: but now of Portsmouth, Va.
The happy affair occurred on the 18th
instant and one of the Portsmouth
papers had the following account of
it:
Miss Mamie L. Hall, the pretty
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. W. Hall,
or 4O8 Middle street, left home last
evening ostensibly for the purpose of
spending the evening at Ocean View,
put instead of going to the resort she
eloped to Elizabeth City with Mr.. H.
G. Moseley and they were married
there at late hour last night, Rev.
}. W. Haight performing the cere-
mony. Mr.. and Mrs. Hall were ap
prised Of their daughters marriage
this morning when they received a
telegram from the bride asking pa
rental forgiveness.
The bride is only IS years of age,
and fearing that her parents would OBJ
Ject to her marriage because Of her
age, she decided to elope. Mr.. MoseIey
is resident of Roanoke. He arrived
IN Portsmouth yesterday, but no one
suspected that his trip here was for
the purpose of clipping with Miss Hall.
The marriage was a complete surprise
to Mr. and Mrs. Hall and the host of
friends of the young bride.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hall had no idea that
their daughter had eloped until after
II o'clock last night. They became
alarmed when the midnight hour ar
rived and their daughter had not re-
turned home. Going to her room they
soon reached the conclusion that the
young lady had eloped. Several suits
of her clothing were missing and her
fathers suit case was also gone. She
left the house with her clothing while
Mr.. and Mrs. Hall were attending an
entertainment in the city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Moseley will reside in
Roanoke, where the bridegroom is
employed.

FRIDAY. JUNE %, 1911.
Secretary Meyers
Occasional Threat.

Southern people have grown accus-
toned to expect q semi occasional
threat from Secretary Meyer that the
navy yards of the south will be abol-
ished. II he gave any plausible rea-
sons for aboIishing them, especially the
one at Pensacola, there might be some
grounds for uneasiness, but he merely
states that three on the Atlantic and
the Pacific coast ones will be enough
for the use of the navy.
These threats are evidently intended
for political purposes and later Mr..
Taft will insist that the southern yards
be not abolished, thereby expecting to
secure for the Republican party some
OF the southern vote.
The joker that the secretary of the
navy puts into his recommendations Is
that Guantanamo be made a great ma
val base and 1t is this station that he
thinks will take the place of the gulf
navy yards.
Congress will not consider favorably
doing away with the well established
navy yards on the gulf just to build
another which would not be nearly as
well located as the one at Pensacola.
He cannot expect a sane body Of men
to pay any attention TO such recommen-
dations.
The opening of the Panama canal
should insure the opening of the gulf
coast navy yards, especially the one at
Pensacola which represents many mil
lions Of government dollars and which
only needs men and work to put 1t in
running order.
y Secretary Meyer might as well let up
with his threats He. personally, may
"have it in" for the south and may not
want this section of the country to get
fits share of the government work. but
there are enough fair minded people In
charge who may be depended upon to
do what is right.
Pensacola does not ask to be made q
favorite. She only wants what IL
.rightfully hers.

THE CANAL AND TRADE.
Tampa Tribune.
. 90 = % o~%A~%

The Macon Telegraph has been
studying the figures of the possible
trade which the completion of the
Panama Canal will bring to our ports.
The Telegraph says there is on one
hand a feeling that wealth will auto
matically roll into the laps of the lex-
porters and importers OF the United
States, and on the other hand there
Is apprehension that we will not be
able to obtain the trade that should
be ours and that the expense Of build
ing the great waterway will be waste.
More vessels will be necessary to carry
the imports and exports which are the
backbone of the trade with South and
Central America.
The Telegraph quotes the following
figures Of population within a radius
of 100 miles of the Canal Zone-a to-
tai of 14,000,000, distributed as fol-
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1911-06-23

During the year 1909, the total
foreign commerce Of these countries
amounted to 1926 900, O00-$60, 900, 900
imports and $75,000,000 exports. The
Telegraph figures that while the United
States has been endeavoring to secure
the open door" for commerce in the
Oriental nations, where the purchasing
power is only IS cents per capita,
South and Central America, where the
purchasing power is S4.22, has been to
degree neglected. The people to the
south of us need manufactures, and
there is no reason why this country
should not be in a better position to
supply them than nations 5000 miles
away. Yet the figures show that these
people have been spending with US
only 81 cents per capita and 1888 with
more distant countries.
During the past year there has been
some Improvement due to the con-
struction of the canal, but which may
decrease when the work Is finished.

ment gives the imports and exports

BOND ISSUE DOES
NOT CREATE A NEW DEBT.

Next Tuesday the people of Escambia county will

Many people may imagine that the bond issue will

The debt has already been made.
The difference is simply this: Without this bond
issue shall have to pay this debt in three years.
With the bond issue we can spread the payments out
over 20 years
