Strange Case of Nenro-

The Pensacola Journal tells Of a ne
gro who "Coufesses to killing a rich
planter after being indicted by grand
jury" and we confess to finding that
q very remarkable case. Details are
lacking; but If the rich planter had al
ready been indicted for some crime the
killing would seem TO have been rather
unnecessary, at least until it were
known whether the law was TO have
convicted him, ana possibly have an
gered him, if he needed hanging, and
Ii it was the negro who was indicted,
and if he was indicted for killing the
rich planter, and If he did not do the
killing until after he had been indicted
for it, would 1t not appear as if the
OF the negrO's intention to kill him, and
therefore were themselves particeps

too strange a one for us.-St. Peters

To Clean Up City And

A woman has taken a place in the
Cabinet, assigned to her by the mayor
| Of New York.
| Another woman, IN CHICAGO, has won

Both of which facts go far TO prove
that woman is fast coming into her
own IN America. And this, without
the blare OF trumpets or the light of
fire brands.
In Pensacola the women have long
stood side by side with the men, If

by a contributor. that a campaign be
started for the cleaning up Of vacant
lots, and other eyesores in the city,
preparatory to further campaign
against the unsightiy bilIboards.
This IS a wise suggestion, and one
that the women Of Pensacola, through
the Civic League, or the Federation
of Clubs. might well undertake to car

The Journal cannot clean UP the
city, but It can do It's part towards
giving the good work publicity. and
towards suppressing the encroach-

EDITORS RETURN HOME.
Session Was Most Successful in It's
History.

7, The members Of the Virginia Press
Association and tehir families, who
have been the guests of Alexandra
for the past three days, returned to
their homes last night. The visitors
were loud in their praise of the en-
tertainment given them here and 1t
was said that Alexandria has set a
mark that all other cities will have
difficulty in approaching in future en-
tertaining conventions of the asso-
citation.
More new members were admitted
at this session of the association than
ever before in its history, and the
.twenty-sixth annual meeting goes
down in record as the most successful
from the standpoint of business and
pleasure, of any ever held. New life
has been engineered into the assocla-
'tion, and it will result in the editors of
the State of Virginia doing still
greater work for their State.

PICNIC AT LUNA PARK
Management of Resort Donates $50
in Gold as Prizes on Independence
Day.

The city has been so full of the
brains and intelligence Of the State
for the last few days that there has
been very little time to think of any
thing but entertaining our numer-
Gus visitors, members of the Virginia
Press Association and consequently
there has been very little along the
line of securing funds for the hos
pital fund but we are glad to note
that a number Of the contributors who
signed pledges are re&eeming the
same in cash and sending the amount
to Treasurer Arthur Herbert, Jr.
Every pledge paid, of course,
places the trustees in a better condl-
ton, and while they have not the
slightest idea of asking advance pay
ment from the contributors, they de-
sire to EXPRESS their appreciation to
those who have paid, thus taking q
great deal of work and trouble off the
very busy gentleman who is treasurer
of both the trustees and executive
committees.
The executive committee earnestly
requests the many friends OF the hos
pital to recollect the fact, when Sc
lecting some place to 60 on July 4th,
that the Luna Park management has
generously &onated their grounds for
basket picnic purposes and also their
dancing pavilion and merry-so-rounl
co the hospital fund.
Tickets for the dancing pavilion and
merry-go-round can be secured for
25 cents the entire proceeds of both Of
these going to the hospital.
1t should also be remembered that
in addition to the amusements for the
Children and their elders, the Luna
Park management has donated $50
in gold as prizes for the various
amusements.
Luna Park is as cool as any other
place on the Fourth Of July and it is
easily reached on the electric road,
/ and all those who intend to spend an
enjoyable day or evening can benefit
the hospital by going to Luna Park.

Washington: June 26.-Direct wi"l
received here today from M;Hic.7

lie used by him against Hrcrt;' ;:
troops.
Although the Mexico City reports
assert that Huerta is planning SER
les Of desperate struggles to drive
Villa back, officials here who are fa-
miiliar with the situation, say they
think the backbone Of the federal Of
fense has been broken. In the last
two months of fighting all of Huerta's
veteran troops, with the exception OF
the single division retained for his and
Blanquet's personal bodyguard, have
been crushed by Villa.
The dictator has left only raw lev
les of unframed troops, most Of them
young boys, who are in utter terror
of Villas trained battalions. Because
of this it is believed that there will
be only one real fight by Huerta, and
that this will take place in the neigh,
borhood ofMexico City.
