Reopening Of the American National
A Significant Event.

The reopening of the American National Bank
morning is significant event for Pensacola.
1t that in stock subscriptions payments of
obligations due the bank Pensacola has raised in 80 days
approximately half million dollars in actual money-and
that in city that people said busted"
munty.
It requires particular ability and not very much
money to start new bank But requires ability money,
confidence and energy reopen old and parcu
ar1y under the worldwide conditions existing this time
To the men who have succeeded in reopening the
tude.
To the public, who had any doubts to Pensacolas
stability and have only point to this
comp1shment the answer to their attitude
During the past year all but of Pensaco1as banks
have suspended The that did suspend stronger
than it year ago. and for each of those that did
suspend have absolutely solvent and infinitely
stronger institution than existed before.
Could anything more be said, and could any Pensa
colfan desire evidence of the recuperating
power of the Deep Water City and section?

EXPERIENCES OF NOBLE
WOMEN I'm EUROPE

The horrible experiences that many
noble women in Europe have endured
during past few months can never be
all told. Here IN America many wo-
men, both young and old, have ex-
perienced much misery and suffering.
Middle aged women about to expert
ence that dreaded change OF life should
profit by the experience OF thousands
OF noble women who have gone
through the same period with little or
no pain, misery or discomfort.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is
and has been for over 40 years just
the medicine that every woman needs
when passing through the changing
days. It is not a secret prescription,
for its ingredients are printed on the
wrapper; it's temperance medicine.
Not only does it build up the entire
system and make it strong and vigor-
GUS enough to Withstand the organic
disturbances, but It has a quieting eff
feet upon the feminine organism that
reduces the distress to a minimum.
For any wornanly ai1ment, disease or
complaint, no matter OF how long
standing, we advise anxious women to
get DR.. aPierce's Favor1te Prescription
in either liquid or tablet form.

LAUNCH HELMSMAN
BLAMED FOR SHOTS

Washington, Nov. 27-The comman-
der Of the port Of Smyrna lays all re-
Sponsibility for the recent shots fired
from Turkish forts upon a launch from
the cruiser Tennessee, while entering
the harbor, 'to the indifference Of the
helmsman of the launch" who 1t is
claimed did not heed warning Of the
presence Of mines.
The state department today issued a
supplemental statement on the Ten
nessee incident, based upon COM
munication from the Turkish minister
Of war to Ambassador Morgenthau
in Constantinople.
9TH war minister's report" said the
statement, States that he ascertained
from the commander of Smyrna that
two blank shots of warming were fired
and that the sentinel after waiting two
minutes was obliged to fire the third
shot in another direction from that
of the launch which latter shot was
merely to prevent the helmsman of
the launch from holding his course
which would lead directly on to the
mines at the entrance of the port and
to rescue him from very certain
danger. The commander of Smyrna
expresses very great regret that such
an obligation was presented to the
sentinel Of the port which he attributes
to the indifference Of the he1rnsman
of the launch"

SETTLED SUIT
FOR S5,2O5.54
CASE OF CHARLES HILHURN
AGAINST LOUISVILLE e. NASH
VILE BROUGHT TO A CLOSE IN
AGREED ON VERDICT,

BY an agreed verdict yesterday, the
damage action brought by Charles A.
HiTburn against the Louisville and
Nashville railroad, was ended, the YER
diet making an award of SB,20S.54 to
the plaintiff It was a. jury trial. but
after the case had proceeded for some
little time. the verdict above men
toned was agreed to, and was so
awarded.
The suit was for the sum of $50, 900,
and was the outcome OF a wreck on
the L. & N. on the Selma division
about year ago when the plaintiff
who was Charles Hilburn, ran his
train into an unlighted and open
switch, crashing into freight train
which had taken the siding there. Two
firemen were killed, one OF them be-
ing from Pensacola, named Mcmillan,
and the engine went over on its side,
severely tnjuring the engineer. It was
on account OF these and the incident
referred to that the action for dam
ages was brought, the suit having been
filed aDout three months ago, but the
accident occurring nearly two years
ago.
Mr.. Hilburn is not now in the en-
ploy Of the railroad company.
