Rev. Dr. F. Burrs, of Little Rock, will preach at the First Baptist church Sunday morning and Sunday evening.
 Will Williams, the young negro who shot and killed Patrolman J. o. Miller in Little Rcok on April 22, and who was brought to Pine Bluff for safe keeping after being captured rear Dumas, has been convicted by a Jury in the Pulaski circuit court of second degree murder and given 21 years in the state penitentiary.
 -Pinle Bluffians returning last night from the Arkansaw Travellers convention in Little Rock were still more disguested than the party that went up Thursday. They stated that there was no entertainment and that they spent the day just as visitors in a city. The Mardi Gras parade, it Is stated, was participated in by only about twenty-five Travellers and was only an ordinary attraction. In con- parison with the entertainment Pine Bluff gave the Travellers, the visitors say Little Rock was outdone. The birdmen exhibiting at the Country Club grounds seem to be the greaT est attraction. Those returning last night state that about 5000 witnessed the flights yesterday afternoon. Ward, the crack young aviator of the Curtiss group, made one of his best flights.

THE PANAMA CANAL OPEN IN 3 YEARS

In 1875 all the shares of the Suez
canal stock belonged to the Khedive
of Egypt and lit shares out of 400
were purchased by the British govern
ment for twenty million dollars. Pierre
Lott describes his trip through the
canal from Port Said to<Aden. He
writes this:
Port Said is a great capharaum
of all nations with Egypt and min
tiles Of sand for a background. The
first part of our journey across the
isthmus as far as the Bitter lakes,
was made under a binding blaze of
light. BY us fed backward swiftly

to Suez. My night on watch and what
night was that in the Bitter lakes.
Blue water, rose colored mountains
and sand, an argentine moon, and
clouds very. very small like chips of
mother of pearl and there were locusts.
there were crickets every where, all
over the rigging and the mast. They

tumult, with sonorites of crystal in it.
The city of Suez appeared before US on
the morning of the second day in an
incredible blaze of light, and then we

sand clouds and breathing became
painful. The thermometer under the

Amusement Features For Pensacola

the company of five or six stock
holders. Conventions and societies
from West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio,
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Penn
sylvania come there. for frolics and
business meetings, and the city of
Sandusky derives a world of benefit
financially. SO it would be here, only
more SO, if Pensacola's island park
were advertised half as strongly as
Cedar Point and the same efforts
made to bring assemblies here.
Amusement Park Feature Growing.
Wake up. good folks, get busy and
develop the. opportunity lying at your
door 1t will act as a legitimate boom
that-willr surprise you in its far reach
ing effects. The park feature of
amusement is on the Increase from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, not the catch
penny idea OF q few years ago. Man
ayers have learned that the public
high grade riding devices, handsome
and well conducted ball rooms, shows
of quality and good music.
Lastly, as to the midway at our
annual fair. Fairs and expositions
are beyond a doubt the most interest
ing and attractive forms of diversions
for instructiveness, interest and en-
tertainment to the classes and masses
ever thought of and carried out. The
merchant, the farmer, the manufac
turer, the stock raiser and the con-
sumner join together for Il mutual ben
eft with a view of promoting the well
fare of the business or territory in
which thay are interested and the
good of all.
Want More Now.
In the past people went to fairs to
see the display of stock, products of
field, fruits and latest improved ma
chinery. While they are still inter =
ested in these features they now de-
mand a large measure of amusement
enterprises and a midway.
The people as a rule are out for
fair director knows this to be a fact,
for our 1911 fair, which, by the way
helped greatly in making our late
fair the first paying one ever held
here.
High class midway shows, those
that are without vulgarity, are lib
orally patronized. The dear public
wants something enjoyable that is out
of the ordinary and these midway
have become an absolute necessity.
Circus methods of advertising are
used now days by every fair Of any
note because their success depends
largely upon putting the fact that a
fair is to be held, and what they will
see there, before the people in as at
tractive a manner as possible. Many
fairs in the last few years employ
retired showmen to attend to this de-
nartment of publicity and the midway
and find it pays immensely to do so.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1911-12-10

In discussing the subject of amuse-
mentS for Pensacola / should say the
possibilities are great and it needs but
q measure Of encouragement from the
business men and citizens of our
beautiful city to demonstrate to some
wide-awake, energetic moneyed man
or syndicate of capitalists the adyis
ability of building new modern opera
house here near the San Carlos hotel
with q stage capable of accommodate
ing the largest scenic spectacular pro-
auctions in the country, thus enabling
the big things of the theatrical world
to stop for a night or two en- route
between the north and New Orleans
and properly present their offerings to
our citizens and visitors from neigh
boring towns.
The destiny of this house should be
under the direction of a manager who
has the good sense to popularize. him
self with the play goers and appre
ciate the fact that he is catering TO
discriminating amusement purchasers,
not they to him, not a surly crouch of
uncouth manner, but an affalale gen
tleman, courteous and obliging. who
can obtain the respect and good will
of his patrons and hold it. Such a
combination should prove a gold mine
to its hackers.
The novelty of this departure from
the old state of affairs would attract
untold attention to our city and make
many boosters for Pensacola among
the travelling actors and actresses,
than whom no better promoters for the
welfare and progress of a town can be
found, for they go to all parts of the
country without expense to the city
and are prone to talk of the different
places they have visited and the ad-
tantageS or disadvantages they pos
sess. We already have several up-to-
date picture houses and the people are
showing their appreciation by giving
these houses splendid support.
Our Island Resort.
For the warm days and nights of
summer we have a site for an amuse-
ment park and concert garden unsur-
passed by any spot on the gulf coast,
namely, Santa Rosa Island, where the
dancing pavilions now stand, with it's
hard white sand bathing beach where
one can get any depth of water desired
from six inches to six feet within one
hundred yards of the shore.
Very little capital would erect three
or four riding devices, including a
shoot the chutes" and toboggan slide,
for which it has natural advantages;
dancing pavilion, band stand, rink
and theatre convention hail. An
amusement park fitted up in such a
manner would make it a strong draw
ing card for societies from interior
towns to hold their picnics, conven-
tiors, meetings and to transact their
grand lodge business, etc, playing a
big part toward the entertainment of
the Pensacolian as well as the northern
