say this patch will compare favorably
with that grown where they make a
speciality of it.
Near Laurel Hill there is one field
Of one hundred acres of land planted
in sugarcane. There are other large
fields of cane, but this is probably the
largest field in West Florida.
FLoRALA EXHIBIT.
When Mr.. Lf1lard arrived here this
morning two letters asking him to go
to F1orala while on this trip were
waiting for him. One was from the
secretary of the board of trade and the
other from Editor Tyler, Of the Dem
ocrat. Mr.. Lillard communicated with
the gentlemen in question over the
telephone, explaining that it would be
impossible for him to go there on this
trip as his time was all taken up.
However, the secretary of the board OF
trade told him that Florala would not
only have a community exhibit at the
fair, but would go there prepared to
take off a goodly portion of the live
stock prizes.
FALCO MAY PARTICIPATE.
DR.. ]. H. Johnson, of Falco, was
among the large number of visitors
from the nearby towns to attend the
meeting here today. DIR. Johnson is
one of the leaders in his community
and has promised Manager Lillard that
he will take the matter up with his
people with a view of having a corn
munity exhibit at the fair. The doc
tor says some of the finest farming
lands in the south are around Falco
and that a splendid exhibit from his
community will probably be shown at
the Pensacola fair

lowed Mr.. Sheriff. and endorsed the
objection raised by him. He said he
had purchased property with the un-
derstanding that the street was to
remain as it was and was interested
from the standpoint of a property
owner, but far more from the stand
point of a school in the vicinity. He
said that for the reason mentioned
by Mr.. Sheriff., he felt that it would
be a decided disadvantage to his
school to have the change made.
AS to the argument about the beauty
of the square, Prof. Armstrong said
one of the prettiest squares he had
ever seen was one in Paris, through
which the paving was laid. He said
he had seen many beautiful squares
split by streets and the beauty not
marred.
w. M. HERRIDER.
w. M. Herrider said he Travelled
the street involved several times per
day and was convinced that running
the pavement around the square
would add to the danger of traffic. He
called attention to the danger signs
put up by the Pensacola Automobile
Association around Lee square and
said such signs would have to be
erected around Georgia square if the
proposed changes were made
Mr. Herrider said that what was
beautiful was one thing, while what
was practical was quite another and
he did not consider the change a prac-
teal one.
ALDERMAN RENSHAW.
Alderman Renshaw was the next
speaker and delivered the feature ad-
dress of the meeting. agreeing witt
those who protested against the
change, and speaking in his usual hui
morous and ironical manner. to the
entertainment of the other alderu7e-
and the crowd of citizens attending
the session.
DR.. Renshaw said that he believed
the smaller petition REPRESENTED what
was legally and morally right and thai
the question now before the council
had been settled as far back as 1858
when the street was laid off as al
present. Only one Or two years ago
he said, the council had adopted al
ordinance providing for curbing which
would have to be removed in order
to make the change.
DR.. Renshaw said it was necessary
at this point for him TO mildly eriticist
the board of bond trustees, although
he thought Mr.. Riera had nothing Il
do with the matter. He said a shor1
time ago q similar petition TO the one
signed by so many citizens had beer
presented to the board with reference
to paving in another place and had
been ignored because the plans haC
already been made. However, tht
| board has done so we'll in other things
| the doctor said, that he could excuse
them for erring in this instance.
Regarding the argument for using
| the square as a playground, DR.. Rem
| shaw said that he did not considel

BARBECUE DINNER.
After the speaking was finished, the
large crowd repaired to grove near
the city where a barbecue dinner had
been prepared. This was one of the
most delightful parts of the days pro-
gram and the dinner Of good things
was enjoyed by all of those who were
fortunate enough to be present.
Athletic sports for the boys and
young men proved most interesting to
the spectators. Foot races, sack races
and three spirited baseball games
made I'D the program, affording amuse-
ment to the participants as well as the
spectators.
The day has been an ideal one for
the picnic crowd and while the ball
players found it rather warm it has
been all that could be desired from
every standpoint.
Dancing during the afternoon was
one of the most interesting things for
the young people. Laurel Hill boasts
of some of the old-time fiddlers, than
which there are none better, and the
music as well as the dancing itself
was very pleasing to spectators and
dancers alike.

cided to favorably report the ordi
nance.
After tAis meeting had been held
and the report adopted, says Mr.
Semmes, Superintendent Saltmarsh. of
the L. & N. called up Chairman Meyer
over the telephone and asked to have
action deferred and said that he -yos
surprised at the action of the com
mittee.
Mr.. Semmes said that it was then
too late in his opinion, for the suoer-
intendent to protest, and that the
COMMITTEE had not been treated cour-
teously by the chairman in falling to
report, or to make some explana-
ton.

Alderman Renshaw said that, while
his action in defending Alderman
Meyer might be misconstrued, he felt
that the insinuations Of Alderman
Semmes were a little too broad and
that he had said too much. He said
that the absence of the alderman
