MISQUOTEO
STATE FOOD INSPECTOR A. p,
JORDAN SAYS HE DID NOT
CHARGE PENSACOLA WHOLE
SALER WITH INTENTIONAL VIo-
LATION OF STATE LAW.

State Food Inspector A P. Jordan,
who represents the Florida department
of agriculture, asks The Journal to
correct a published statement appear
ing yesterday afternoon in which he
was made to appear as charging one
wholesale firm with Intentionally vio-
lating the law.
Mr.. Jordan says he found IT neces-
sary to attach 400 sacks Of cotton seed
meal held by this house because the
sacks did not contain the state in
spection tags, but that he never said
or believed that the violation was in
territorial
las a matter Of fact" said Mr.. Jor-
dan, this house had the stamps al
ready paid for and in its possession
but through an oversight Of the re-
ceiving clerk the stamps were not put
on the goods as the latter came out of
the car and I do not charge or believe
that there was any intentional viola
ton of the law.
The Pensacola dealers" continued
the inspector, ARE law-abiding in the
extreme and where violations Of the
law occur, I have found them to be
the result either of ignorance or over
sight. The dealers here are always
very agreeable TO me and I never have
any trouble with them when making
inspections or when attaching goods
as was necessary in this case"

Pie only homicide to occur in this
parish during the holidays was in the
Eighth Ward, the night before Christ
mas, when Peter Foster shot and
killed Chas. Smothers at a negro
collation." It seems that Foster was
under the influence of liquor and
was creating a disturbance when
Sm0thers demonstrated with him and
tried to get him to behave. Foster
pulled his pistol and shot Smothers
dead. Foster made his escape and
has not been unprecedented, although
the Sheriff office is making every
effort to effect his capture. Smoth-
ers was good negro, had some
property, and enjoyed the respect Of
the white people.

cARTER.LEAKE WEDDING,

| The interior Of Grace Church, lav
ishly garlanded with Christmas green
made an exquisite setting for thi
wedding, conspicuous event of til.
holidays. Although the hour had no
been publicly announced, at two o.
the clock, Thursday afternoon, il
spite of the inclement weather, the
church was we'll filled with the friend:
OF the bridegroom and bride, infor
mally hidden to witness the ceremo
ny. AT the hour, Mr.. Samuel Carter
an the officiating clergyman and rec
tor of Grace Church, Rev. A. w. Skar.
oon, entered the chancel, emerging
from the vestry-room.
AS the rector proceeded to the al.
tar, the bridegroom paused midway
OF the chancel and awaited his bride,
Miss Bessie Belle Leake. She was
expected to enter by the main door Of
the sacred building, and nearly all
eyes were turned in that direction.
when, by her own clever and origi-
nal idea, she entered the sanctuary,
alone, from the choir, meeting the
bridegroom Immediately after he paus.
ed in the chancel, then going with
MIN, quite simply, to the altar, be-
fore which they pronounced their
marital VOWS. Mrs. o. Leonard play
ed Hearts in Flower" softly on the
organ during the ceremony, and Men
delssohn's wedding march to accent
their departure from the church.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carter then drove to
the L. R. & N. station, where they
were Joined shortly by large num-
Der of friends, who were determin.
ed to give them the customary heavy
doWnpouring Of rice. The pair bore
the infliction with smiling compos-
IRE, and received congratulations as
charmingly. They went south as far
as Baton Rouge, taking the train
there for their home in Mississippi.
1ney will spend several days at |
Greenville, Miss, with friends, arriv-
ing at Rosedale on Sunday. The
bride wore tailor-made suit of navy
blue French serge with vest of white |
oroadcloth. A handsome mink collar |
with large pillow muff, one of the |
beautiful gifts presented her, was
worn. A mushroom hat OF blue vel.

mas, were attended by large num-
Der. There was a consnicuously
large congregation at the early morn

increasing number from year to year.
He says that the children are being
taught to bring their parents-and
are succeeding. The church was Law

an inspiring feature of the services
