OOINGS
OVER AND CALM
NOW PREVAILS
TWO WEEKS OF LEGISLATURE
HAS BEEN DEVOTED TO sENsA-
TIoNALIsM, BUT PURE 5UsI-
NESS MAY BE EXPECTED IN
WEEKS REMAINING.

| Tallahassee. April ia calm seem
ed to pervade the Leon county atmos-
phere after Elkdom doings subsided
Thursday. Things and actions as
summed normal poise with the result
/ that every body felt like Hello Bill'
In conjunction with the proceedings as
happened in the beautiful Elks build
ing in Tallahassee. Stokes mental an
guish bill occupied hours OF converse
ton. Thursdays sessions were quiet
and conservative. Routine matters
dominated the procedure.
The celebrations during the three
days of the Florida State Association
of Elks did away with legislative in
terest, for Tallahassee never did better
than the entertainment provided on
these days.
Some citizens, not meaning repre-
sentatives and senators, kicked loud
ly on paying so cents per bottle for
Coca-Cola but the fact remains that
many did cough up the four-bits many
times resulting in a dissatisfaction as
to the high price of soft drinks in
certain quarters of Tallahassee but do
not be COMPOUNDED, because this has
nothing to do with Elkdom.
Harry Floyd, Speaker Farris Speak
er Protein Spencer, Senator Stokes,
Senate President Drane, and some
other more or less distinguished MEM
bers of the legislative assembly took
care to see that their doings were re-
corded There has been much publicity
given to delaying transit of the men
tai anguish bill on it's travels from the
house to the state printer, but all of
this has been satisfactorily explained.
The first two weeks of the legisla-
ture has been devoted to sensational
ism and we can expect pure business
to result in the weeks remaining. The
1913 session Is going to be a record
breaker in the transmission and pas
sage of bills. Some innovations have
already resulted in as much as bill in
the first weeks session of the senate
got approved and signed and that is
going some.

CAUSED TROUBLE
STRUCK SEVERAL PERSONS ON
SOUTH PALAFox STREET BE-
FORE he WAS ARREsTED-WAs
TOO CRAZY FROM WHIskEY TO
GIVE HIS NAME.

Striking several men who came
within his reach. a white man, whose
name has not yet been learned by the
police, acted in such a manner on the
sidewalk in front of the Mecca Saloon
on South Palafox street about 6 o'clock
yesterday afternoon that he held full
sway over that part of the thorough
fare and succeeded in hitting a number
of persons with his fists before he was
taken In charge by two citizens and
started on his way to the city Jail.
When a police whistle was blown for
some time by an employe OF the Mecca
Saloon a large crowd gathered, but it
was some minutes before the police
learned of the trouble. Patrolman
Kelly was on East Romano street, near
Palafox, two blocks away, engaged In
making a report to the station when
the whistle was being blown, but just
as soon as he saw the large crowd In
the street he left for the scene of the
disturbance. arriving there at the same
time with Motorcycle OFFICER Harper.
who was also on Romano street when
the call for an officer was made.
BY the time Of1cers Kelly and Har-
per arrived, the man was about in the
middle of the Plaza on his way to the
city jail, having been taken in charge
by Marvin Stearns and Sam Pinney.
They were overtaken by Officer Kelly,
who carried the man to the city jail,
where he was locked up.

PUPILS WILL

THE FIRST BY THOSE ATTENDING
THE PENSACOLA SCHOOL OF
MUSIC WILL BE GIVEN TUES
DAY, APRIL 90.

The Pensacola School Of Music's first
day. the 29th, at eight O'Clock in the
evening in the auditorium of the San
Carlos hotel
This announcement will be received
with considerable interest by all lovers
of good music, as 1t 1t a move in the
right direction
There is nothing SO stimulating to
the young mind as the spirit of emula-
ton; teachers in every line Of educa.-
| ton are finding more and more that
the finest and surest way to induce
real, earnest application to study is by
exciting the sense of ambition and
pride.
Human nature loves to shine, to
succeed, to go one better than the
other fellow; men, women, children, all
healthy, normal souls, have the same
keen desire to excel in something.
whether it be business or sport or per-
sonal appearance or intellectual ac-
-quirements; and it is this natural and
proper pride which the Pensacola
School of Music intends to cultivate
and make use of for the furtherance
and betterment Of musical conditions
| in Pensacola and West Florida.
The school being only recent in
stitution and in its infancy as a recog-
nized musical center, 1t is not to be
expected that the various items on the
program, which will be announced
shortly, can include anything of an
ambitious character; but what is done
will be well done. be 1t ever so simple.
Here will be a real concert given by
young students, the sons and daugh-
tiers Of Pensacola citizens; given en-
tirely off their own bat; and these
students of today are to be the citi-
zens of the future.
The public are invited to hear them
and encourage them to further efforts,
so that growth and improvement may
follow.
There will be no charge for admit
lance and 1t is hoped and believed
that a large and sympathetic audi
ence will assemble to give this coterie
of young musicians good send of at
their first recital,

THOUSANDS PAY
A LAST TRIBUTE
TO SENATOR JEFF DAVIS

Little Rock, Jan. Gully 10000
people crowded into Mt. Holly ceme-
terry Sunday afternoon to do homage
to Senator jeff Davis, whose remains
were inferred at dusk. The crowd was
so dense that had it not been for the
police and soldiers, the funeral cor
teee would have had difficulty in enter
ing the cemetery.
Promptly at O'Clock the funeral
procession started from the residence
OF the late senator, Fifteenth and
Broadway, and proceeded to the First
Baptist church, where services were
conducted by Rev Ben Cox. The pro
cession was headed by the Second Reg
iment Band, detachment from Fort Lo-
gan H. Roots, the Conway and Lonoke
companies of Arkansas National
Guard, followed by the honorary and
active pall-bearers and the relatives in
carriages. The distance to the church.
and from the church to the cemetery
was so short the line of carriages was
limited, and the only ones riding were
the state officials, the congressional
delegation and the family. AS the re-
mains were brought from the church
four pages of the United States senate

steps.
At the grave Judge Jeptha Evans

Delegates Are Organizing.

In many southern centers the lay
men have organized and the pastors
have pledged their hearty co-operation
toward securing large delegations to
go to Chattanooga. During the day
aud night preceding the opening OF
the convention there will roll into
Chattanooga special trains from all
parts OF the south and special cars
bearing delegates. For the time be
ing Chattanooga will be the mecca Of
all Southern Baptists and those who
can not attend the convention viii be
much in prayer as to its success.
When Chattanooga entertained the
Southern Methodist laymen, success
was the result, and as soon as it was
announced that the Southern Baptist
laEmen anticipated holding a similar
convention there, Immediately the
hearts and the pocketbooks OF public
spirited citizens We're opened and the
word, Come" was passed out.
Chattanooga is the headquarters for
preparation activities A complete list
OF committees has been named and the
secretary of the combined forces is the
Rev. +. +. George, Superintendent Of
Baptist Missions in Chattanooga, who
so successfully executed his duties as
executive secretary of the Men and
Religion Forward Movement campaign
there
The convention will be character
lied by addresses by some of the most
Notable Baptists in the country.
1t is vital to the success of the con
Nention that Baptists all over the
south do their part toward creating an
eyer-mcreasng interest that will cul-
inmate in large attendance. All pas
tors and active layment are urged to
lay upon the hearts OF their associates
in church life the Importance of the
convention.
1t is felt that if every Baptist will
do his duty success is certain.

known head OF the Volunteers Of

An Idea Location for a Convention.
No letter place than Chattanooga
couiG have been chosen for the con
Vention. When the Presbyterian lay.
men held their convention in that city
last winter there was general gratifi-
cation expressed that Chattanooga had
been chosen. The convention was a
success from every standpoint and
many Of the delegates expressed a de
sire to return at some future date for
similar occasion, stating that they
hoped Chattanooga would again be
chosen as the meeting place for the
Iaymen OF their denomination.
A systematic canvass of the whole
south is being made Interest is now
at high pitch. DR.. Henderson, during
the convention season among the
states, visited practically all the state
conventions OF the south and was as
1ured OF hearty cooperation on the
part OF those with whom he came into
contact. The conventions he did not
visit were visited by other prominent
Baptists with the same results.
The fact that the convention will be
the first of its kind ever held by the
Baptists gives importance to it, Keen
interest is manifested as to the out.
