RAPID DISPATCH
GIVEN STEAMERS.
REQUIRED BUT COUPLE OF DAYS
TO FILL UP ONE VESSEL, AND
ANOTHER AND A LARGER ONE,
is NOW READY FOR SEA.

Quite a reputation is being built up
by the workmen OH the L. 6, n.
wharves for fast work, and steamers
have not many days to remain here if
cargo is ready for them.
During the week the Danish steamer
Johan Seim arrived here and was load
ed in the space Of three days. In fact
entering at the custom house on Tues
day, the 18th, the steamer was ready
for sea and did leave port on the 18th.
This vessel filled up on the sacked
cottonou cake, which is stored in very
large quantities in the warehouses.
Yesterday the Danish steamer Mar
seilisborg was ready for sea and will
go out today, 1t is expected. This
steamer has had barely time for her
boilers to cool before being ordered to
sea, starting today, it is believed, for
ports in Denmark.
The quick dispatch given the Span
ish steamship Gracia, the British
steamer August Belmont, and later, the
British steamer Craster Hall, which,
however, discharged but a part of her
cargo Of nitrate of soda; then the un-
loading of the steamer Tottenham. Of
the Chiswick, and other steamers, all
proves that the dispatch is something
that cannot be complained of at this
port.

More Money Needed

The Committee of the Belgian Re-
lief Fund is distributing a circular let
ter again calling attention to the suf-

task with which it is confronted in
alIeviating the results OF the calamity
that has .overtaken the people OF that
unfortunate country. The Committee
states that five million people are

But we must have more money for
more food of the nom -perishable kinds
that we can use.
more than $4,000 people, rich and
poor, have given $5O0.OoO to this Fund
to date.
But this is only beginning. There
are many million comparatively pros
porous people in this country. If each

the total would be tremendous and

A Rerniniscence of
Old Pensacola Bay.

Uncle Joe Dixon of the Lakeland
Telegram, whose professed knowledge
| of sharks has been so badly shattered
by The Journals merciless exposure OF
the old Bohemian imposter, makes this
reply to the additional exposure which
Ben H. Thomas made Of him in these
columns a few days ago:
Ben Thomas gives an historically
accurate description in The Pensa-
cola Journal Of a memorable trip
made some years ago on the upper
waters of Pensacola bay in his motor
launch, in which the writer Of these
lines was his guest, and the rotten
batteries broke down far out on the
raging main and left the two un-
fortunates exposed to all the perils
Of the deep. Ben was a veritable
Mark Tapley on that occasion and
he ''came out strong;" but when he
says that during his absence, after
he had waded ashore and struck out
through the wilderness for help, his
partner covered for hours in the
launch, scared speechless by a school
Of porpolse which he n1istook for
man eating sharks, he trtfles with
the truth of history and does injus-
tice to the sea knowledge of the
ancient mariner who was his COM
panion in that adventure.
Scared indeedl Those porpoise
came up and ate out of his hand,
gathered in a bunch, and with Won
der and delight listened to him while
he sang to them in organ tones
Rocked in the Cradle OF the Deep"
and along in the afternoon he peeled
off the textile artificialities of civil
ization, took a header in the bay and
disported with his genial aquatic
friends like the boys in that ole
swimmin' hole" Whitcomb Riley tells
us about.
Meanwhile Ben was stumbling, rag
ing, cussing and sweating through the
jungle under a broiling sun, impartial
ly damning everything on earth and
the waters underneath as he fought
the mosquitoes and lodged the rattle
snakes, trying to reach a village
miles up the bay where he could hire
a fishing smack to pull us out or trou-
BILE. The memories of that day, as he
loIled in the shaded launch and
reached out q caressing hand to the
gentle porpoise gathered about him.
listening to his music and his con-
versation, are simply delightful to
this writer, but to Ben they must
oe somewhat otherwise.
Now this is what we should call an
admirable statement Of a very weak |
case 1t is really a charmingly- told |
of old Pensacola Bay. |
the element of truth, |
which of course is not necessary to a /
discussion of the subject. Uncle Joes |

doesn't know a shark from a porpoise

City Was Honored-

The Florida ladies of the suffrage
cult meet in State Convention in
Pensacola tomorrow and that city is
so glad to have them that it is pro-
posed to decorate the streets and give
the good old town almost a carnival
aspect. Any community in Florida
would be honored by the presence of
these intellectual and progressive wo-
men, for the time has arrived when
it is no longer popular to sneer at the
suffragette as a "short-haired freak"
who was neglecting her home to advo-
cate an absurd fad. Women suffrage
has to be reckoned with now as one Of
the great, serious questions of the day.

The Pensacola Journal reaches out for
every scrap of support it can find,

Gorda Herald to the effect that no.
body has ever been attacked by a
shark in Punta Gorda waters; and
yet it is perfectly well known that

The Suffrage Gateway

Pensacola is evidently the Equal
Suffrage gateway to Florida. The fine
old city did herself proud in the way
she received and entertained the ladies
of that cult in their state convention
there this week. Woman suffrage seems
to be ION the way all over the coun-
try, and it has apparently selected the
Pensacola route in it's invasion of
Florida. And this is strange, too, when
we consider that South Florida is that
part Of the commonwealth from which
the progressive procession in most
things generally starts out.-Lakeland

No Man-Eatina Sharks

The Pensacola Journal, which is in
a spirited controversy with the Lake
land Telegram about the existence of
man-eating sharks, will doubtless be
pleased with the information that for
twenty years hundreds of men have
been fishing in the bays, bayous, Ia
goons, inlets, sounds and channels in
the neighborhood of Punta Gorda and
not one of them has ever been at
tackled by a shark. These men have
caught many sharks in their nets and
they scout the idea that there is any
such thing as a man-eating shark in
the waters of this region. If there is
any kind Of a fish in the waters Of
this part of the gulf that attacks men,
it is not a shark.-Punta Gorda Her
aid. If there was a man-eating shark,
we will bet Editor Jordon would know
him by name and could, if he went

there amt no sich animal, there amt

Pensacola's Revival AS
Seen on the Outside.

Pensacola's business revival is being
noted by outside people and papers
and their expressions, added to the
faith of our own people, are splendid1y
indicative of the high place which
Pensacola holds in the purvdew OF
every careful student of future events
The Montgomery Advertiser recently
said:
Times are better in Pensacola. The
banks of that city have been reinvig-
GRATED. after a season Of punishment
and illness; they are stronger now
than ever before. Pensacola should
go forward now. She is recovered,
practically, from her many troubles
which allied her long before she
started
The American National Bank Of
Pensacola, which suspended operations
three months ago has re-opened with
over 100000 in actual cash with
which to begin. The bank has been
re-organized by the business men of
Pensacola. In speaking of this cheer
ing event, The Pensacola Journal says:
During the past year all but one of
Pensacola's ioanks have suspended. The
one that did not suspend is stronger
now LH4h II "SAS q JS1A A6OI S<AN ~SA
each of those that did suspend we
have an absolutely solvent and in
finitely stronger institution than ex-
listed before.
Gould anything more be said. and
could any Pensacolian desire more
as an evidence Of the recuperating
power Of the Deep Water City and
sectton2"
The Advertiser begs to extend it's
coneratulations to Pensacola. We
have seen good and deserving families
touched with sickness, proving again
that troubles come in punches. But
all of a sudden all members of the
family begin to recover; when they
do recover they are healthier and more
prosperous than before. It was much
the same with Pensacola. Within the
past eighteen months her troubles
seem to come in punches. But now
they are leaving in bunches. There is
no reason in the world why Pensacola
bounds. Pensacola, like Mobile, is
bound to become one Of the great sea-
port cities Of the country. We think 1t |
has already started to gain that |
growth which will make it such a |
city.
This is exactly the view that our
own people hold, and we are gratified |
to see it expressed oy so able and OBJ
serving a journal as the Montgomery /
Advertiser.

They Eat Dead Men Only

They Eat Dead Men Only
The Pensacola Journal insists upon
having a bill Of particulars to prove
that there is "sfch an animal as a
n-eating shark. Not long ago a
mans leg was found in the stomach
of a shark which was taken into Pen
sacola by some fishermen That ought
to be proof that the shark is a man
eater, but If The Journal wishes an
other instance cited the Reporter-Star
editor recalls that a prominent young
man of Jacksonville was attacked by a
shark while bathing at Pablo Beach.
The young fellow was badly wounded
and remained in hospital for several
weeks, being permanently crippled
from the attack. Fred Allen Of the
st. Augustine Record will now please

Congratulations to Pensacola


After a suspension of ninety days
the American National Bank Of Pen
sacola on yesterday re-opened its doors
with a capitalization of 100000. Ac-
cording to the news dispatches the
depositors whose money had been tied
up since the suspension showed their
confidence in the bank and those di-
recting its affairs by not withdrawing
their accounts. On the contrary more
than 100000 in deposits was added,
and Of that sum the city government
deposited $4,000. The temporary en-
barrassment Of the bank was not due
to mismana cement but to the failure
Of one Of lis largest customers abroad
and the consequent tying up Of much
paper on which a fair realization will
be made in due time. The Times con-
graduates Pensacola, which has had
more than it's share of hard luck dur
ing the past two years. There is
nothing really wrong with the Deep
Water City or the fine territory that
is back of it, as will be shown in due
Times.

Draw Better Crowds

The Equal Suffrage ladies In State
convention at Pensacola didn't waste
time in platitudes about votes for wo-

which in itself is a strong argument
for the ballot, Immediately proceeded
to pass the hat and raise money to
carry the campaign all over Florida.
For our part, we shall not object if in
future campaigns we are called on to
listen to the arguments from the
stump Of intellectual, progressive wo-
men advocating the ballot for their
sex. They will probably draw better
crowds than the male orators, and they
could hardly make worse speeches.
