Not Delivered in Time.

They were not so delivered however,
and obeying the posta card mandate of
Sunday fifteen members of the associa-
ton assembled at the regular meeting
place last night in Donohoe's Hall. and,
in the absence of the president and vice
president of the association, called upon
Capt W. NJ. Potter to preside. Capt. 4'ot-
ter was president last year and was not
reelected. 1t was soon seen that the
followers of the former president were
in the majority. and those present there
upon voted to have the association join
the Federation of Citizens Associations.
The association at former meetings had
refused to join the federation. Neverthe-
less, Capt. Potter was Sc .ected last night
as the associations representative in the
federation, and Daniel F. Slattery was
chosen alternate.
The question of having a new and more
ornamental bridge over the Eastern
branch was discussed and favorably act
ed upon. 1t was urged by Capt. Pot
ter that the proposed new structure
should be larger than the present one;
that it should be of sufficient capacity
for the accommodation of street cars and
other vehicles and pedestrians and that
it should have draw to enable boats to
pass through.
On motion of Capt Potter it was de-
cided to favor a change in the stopping
place of street cars at reservation "a, at
mac avenues southeast. The resolution
favors stopping on the near sides Of the
reservation, and it was adopted.
Contest Over Resolution.
J. NJ. Wood presented the resolution
declaring the association In favor of join
ing the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tons. DR.. Charles NJ Emmons, secre-
tary. opposed the resolution. Capt. Pot
ter, Charles A. Shields and D. F. Slattery
favoring it. 1t was adopted by a ma
jOrity of one.
President Parsons was surprised this
morning when he heard of what had
been done at the meeting last night.
There could have been no regular
meeting of the association held" he
stated, because it had not been called
as provided in the constitution. What
was done was not the act Of the asso-
ciation...

THIRTEEN RATS
WERE EXAMINED
INTEREST IN CAMPAIGN FOR Ex-
TERMINATION SEEMS TO BE
TAGGING AS NONE OF THOSE
DELIVERED TO DR.. BRINK YES
TERDAY WERE FROM WATER
FRONT.

Interest in the campaign for the ex-
termination of rats seems to be still at
a rather low ebb, as only thirteen
specimens were examined by DR.. F. A.
Brink yesterday afternoon and none of
them were from the waterfront vi
cinity.
No signs of bubonic plague were
found in the rats examined yesterday,
but very little idea may be gained
from the examination of the rats from
the outskirts of the city, as it is a
well known fact that even though bu-
bonic plague germs were found to
exist in the rats on the waterfront, it
might be months and even years be-
fore the rats in the outskirts of the
city became infected.
1t is not the desire of DR.. Brink or
others interested in the campaign &c
spread alarm, but they do desire to
urge upon all persons interested in the
health of the city the Importance of
discriminating the rodents in the sec
ton of the city adjacent to the water
front, as if there is any danger 1t is to
be encountered in this section of the
city.

COTTON MARKET
CLOSES QUIET
BY Associated Press.

New York, Sept 3.-Cotton futures
opened firm at an advance of fourteen to
twenty-three points on more or less gen.
eral covering, inspired by an idea that the
government report due at midday had
been discounted, better Liverpool cables
than due, and reports that the new crop
was deteriorating from dry, hot weather
in South Texas and parts of the Eastern
belt. Renewed liquidation or fresh local
selling checked the advance at about the
opening figures, but the market held with
in a point or two of the best during the
middle of the morning with Memphis,
Wall Street and leading trade interests
good buyers.
The market continued extremely quiet
and excited later in the forenoon and be-
fore the government report was pub
lished, sold up to net advance of 81 to
Al points on general covering. The report
making the condition 74.8 per cent against
1872 last year and 1871 the ten-year aver
age was followed by a very sharp break
in prices active months selling off nearly
30 points from the high level of the morn
ing. There was very big buying on this
setback, however and after a break from
11.2S to 1923 for December. the market
firmed up to lilo for that position with
the tone very nervous.

A MEMBERSHIP
CAMP A|GN IS
BEING PLANNED
COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION WILL
BEGIN MOVEMENT TO IN
CREASE NUMBER OF MEMBERS
SOMETIME IN NOVEMBER, SAYS
SECRETARY HENDERSON.

Sometime In November another
campaign to increase the membership
Of the Pensacola Commercial Associa-
ton will be begun, according to the
statement of Secretary Leland j.
Henderson.
Judging from the progress made
during the last membership campaign
and the experience of other CONNER
cial organizations recently, Mr.. Hen
derson believes that the association
will be greatly strengthened by the
Inauguration of this campaign.
A remarkable example of what can
be accomplished in this manner is
contained in a letter recently received
by Secretary Henderson from Bruce
Kennedy, general secretary of the
Business Mems League of Montgom-
cry. Mr.. Kennedy says in part:
I'VE increased our membership from
$50 to 2,014 in five days. We increased
our revenue about $4,000 and the
cost of the campaign was approx
mately $1,000 / think you realize that
beside the revenue you bring into your
organization in a campaign of this
kind, spirit of civic pride and en-
thusiasm in the work is engenderesi
that Is worth a great deal to the or
ganization and to the city.
AT the last meeting of the Southern
Commercial Secretaries found wide
variety of opinion concerning member
ship campaigns, but I was hopelesslv
in the minority when I opposed the
employment of membership ex-
pert.
IF I can be Of any service to you
in planning and executing your cam
paign, I want you to Gail on me. 1t
will be a pleasure to me to visit Pen
sacola and give you the benefit of my
advice. If you WOULD like to have ME
do so. I have never been there and !
am anxious to visit Pensacola"

THE ACADEMY
At SANTA ROSA
1T IS A MODEL INSTITUTION, IS
BEAUTIFULLY LOCATED AND
HAS A BRIGHT FUTURE.

When one is searching for a home
many things should be taken into con-
sideration, soil, air, water, the climate
and people, the churches and schools
To the parents of family the school
advantages are especially desired. It
is noticeable that in very many articles
in the papers of West Florida written
for the purpose of boosting" different
localities there IS little mention made
of the schools, though it should be the
aim of every settlement, be 1t large
or small TO provide the means of
thoroughly practical education for all
who reside within its borders.

New Orleans Futures.

New Orleans, Sept. 3.-Cotton futures
opened steady at an advance of 13 to Is

from Liverpool stated that the advance
there was due to fear of labor troubles
in Galveston which would prevent the
shipping of cotton. The weat Their map was

The campus is beautifully located,
fronting Santa Rosa Sound, a wharf is
built out into the water, making a
safe, pleasant and easy landing for
passengers and freight. Launches and
steamers from Pensacola and all ada
cent points pass the campus daily and
sailing craft of all kind dot the waters
of the Sound, adding to the attractive
ness of the scene.
The campus grounds consist Of ten
acres, and eighty acres back of the
campus is to be used for a demonstra~
ton farm. This is ninety acres in
all and is owned by the academy.
It has been said that a teacher is
born not made, but in this case the
teachers of Santa Rosa Academy are
born teachers and are fitted by educa-
ton and training for the position they
occupy.
The president, Rev. p. P. Strong, is
q graduate Of Washburn College,
Kansas, also of the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college. Mrs. Strong is a
graduate of the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college and of Washburn college.
President Strong and his wife both
have the rare faculty of making friends
of the pupils, thus adding zest to the
pursuit of knowledge. I have en-
tered into conversation with a mum

ton all have expressed the warmest
admiration and love for their instr lc-

The school year for 1878 opens
the End Of October. Arrangements
have been made for board at the very
reasonable sum of $1,000 per month.
The tuition in the academy grades,

WRITES ABOUT
WEST FLORIDA
ASSOCIATION
TT. APPLEYARD, STATE PRINTER.
IN LETTER TO SECRETARY
HENDERSON, ENDORSES IDEA
OF ORGANIZING THIS CONNER
CIAL BODY.

Relative to the organization of a
West Florida Commercial Association
T. j. Appleyard, state printer, writes
In part as follows, in answer to a let
ter from the secretary of the Pensa-
cola Commercial Association:
Everything that it contains meets
with my hearty approval. =" Get
the crowd to your city to organize this
West Florida Commercial Associa-
ton. We fellows who do some
little writing will be right behind you
and help push.
THE recent publications on Florida
lands have hurt the state some. But
have always contended that the farm
Ing lands of the upper portion of the
commonwealth had nothing to fear
from most critical examination. Ask
the people elsewhere to come and see
where land is sold by the acre and not
by the gallon as is charged else
where.
your plan Of getting together as
outlined is a good one. But there is
no time to lose. Sixty days boosting
is none too long to provoke an inter
est In such a movement. Even then
very little could be done to get the
people for this year. Because before
W. could get reading matter out to
people arrangements will have been
made by them to go elsewhere this
year.
But the most important thing is to
get a start. This we can do. Put men
at the head of the organization who
are pushers, and don't let the scheme
get tackled on to some political band
wagon, IL we do, it will go up the
f1ume."
At recent meeting of the West
Florida Press Association the idea Of
the organization Of West Florida
Commercial Association was endorsed
and publicity and organization COM
mittees were appointed.
The Pensacola Commercial Associa-
ton has invited these interested to
convene in Pensacola on the night of
November LIST to organize the associa-
ton. This date was chosen because it
was near the end of the Interstate
Fair and because on November 1st a
celebration will be held on the running
of the first train over the Gulf, Florida
& Alabama railroad to Pensacola. Ex-
cursion rates will be in effect and the
organization will doubtless take place
in the auditorium of the San Carlos
membership be composed of all per-
sons interested in the development of
West Florida, west of the Aucilla river,
the eastern boundary of Jefferson
county, and that the individual mem
bership fee be nominal, and that the
principal contributors be the COM
mercial organizations, municipalities
and counties of West Florida.
Newspapers are urged to discuss
this matter thoroughly, advancing
reasons for or against the organiza-
ton of the association.
A state organization has recently
been formed in Klssimmee, Fla, and
its scope in no way conflicts with the
proposed West Florida organization.
West Florida is divided from the bal
ance of the state by natural reasons
and in trade relations, and should be
organized on its own basis.

der II. E. Hopper, the physical direc-
tor, but did creditable stunts in read
Ing and writing and arithmetic with
history, English, geography, agricul-
ture, physiology and penmansaip. The
small classes made the work almost
wholly individual and the boys seem
very enthusiastic over the grip they
got on the studies which never before
seemed clear. Some will take special
examinations this fall under the SUI
pervision OF the superintendent of
pubic instruction for better marks in
special studies. some for advance to
a higher section in the same grade.
Others showed commendable ambi-
ton by getting glimpse of their next
grade.
In addition to the grade work an
innovation in Pensacola school work
was the introduction Of manual train
ing in ornamental iron. The lessons
in the shop Of accuracy. patience and
perseverance were wen worth the time
spent there, but the enthusiasm of the
majority Of the boys for the work and
the skill, adaptation and initiative dis
played demonstrated the value of this
kind of work not only to interest but
to develop the boy. A good exhibit is
expected to be placed In the Interstate
