We learn with deep regret of the
death of John l.. Beirne, a we'll
known Pensacola newspaper man
who had passed nearly all his life in
that city working on it's various pa
pers and for five years past had been
employed on the Pensacola Journal,
at times as reporter and other times
as linotype operator. Jack" Beirne
was warm hearted, loyal friend,
bubbling with wit and humor, de-
voted to the paper he served, and
whether as reporter or operator he
always did high-class work. He had
a large circle of friends in Pensacola
and he will be genuinely missed es-
pecially from the Journal Office, all
of whose workers are, as a big fam
lily, feeling almost the ties of kinship
for each other.

Mrs. Norvell Entertained
In Honor of Mrs. Cammack

One of the most elaborate and
charming social functions of the sea-
son was given yesterday afternoon
by Mrs. William Cook Norvell in
honor of Mrs. Lucius Cammack of
Huntington, w. Va, who has spent
the past two winters in Lakeland
and is at present the house guest of
Mrs. George William Watson.
The spirit of St. Valentine per-
vaded the entertainment, the par
Tors being converted into a veritable
bower of hearts and cupids. Scarlet
flowers were used in profusion and
a huge floral heart in bank of as
paragus fern won special admira-
ton while the soft light from the
shaded chandeliers gave it's charm to
the scene.
Mrs. Norvell, wearing an attrac-
tive gown of white eponge, gave
gracious welcome to her guests and
presented them to the guest of hon
or, Mrs. Cammack, who wore an i'm
ported gown of American Beauty
chiffon. Mrs. Hursey, Mrs. Watson
and Mrs. Thomas Waring, each in
pretty afternoon costume, gave
charming assistance,
Progressive rock was played in a
most spirited manner and the pro-
gressions were marked on dainty
hearts guarded by Dan Cupid. Miss
Tomlinson, who made the highest
score; Miss Southland. who claimed
the lowest, and the guest of honor
received artistic valentines as souve.
Mrs of the occasion. At the close of
the games, delicious salad course
was served, in which hearts again
appeared in napkins. place cards and
sandwiches. The afternoon was one
to be long remembered. Those i'm
vited to meet Mrs. Cammack were

MIR. Hollis EFFECTIVE ANSWER

The reaction from a campaign
SANDER" intended to injure others is
sure to come, and in the case of the
charge recently made by Dixie that
P. A. Holt, of Jacksonville, was busy
in urging the registration of negroes
in Jacksonville to vote in the Demo
cratic primaries, presumably for the
denomination of Senator Fletcher,
the reaction has come quickly and
effectively. The story was utterly
improbable on it's face, for it was in
credible that prominent Democrat
like Mr.. Holt would have engaged
in such stealthy game sure to be
discovered on him and sure to injure
the cause he was alleged to be favor
ing.
1t now appears that Mr.. Holt is
not connected with the candidacy of
Senator Fletcher in any way and
that he has been simply discharging
the duty of good citizen in urging
voters to register, a work in which
every Democratic Newspaper in Flor
ida is also engaged. We reproduce
below Mr.. Hollis letter to the Ocala
Star under Jacksonville date of Feb.
10 in answer to the charge made in
a recent issue of Dixie and it is a
refutation so complete that it leaves
nothing to be said. The letter with
date line and signature omitted is
as follows:
Editor Star: | have received a
copy of your paper which you cour-
teously sent me, and | am therefore
writing you this personal letter, I'M
der no circumstances for publication,
as | do not care to be drawn into
public discussion answering any of
DiXie's customary attacks on me.
"The idea of suggesting that fav-
ored negroes voting in Democratic
primaries is so utterly absurd that it
is not worth a serious thought. Ne
groes are not going TO vote in our
Democratic primaries in Duyal coun-
ty, and | don't think any other coun-
ty will tolerate such proposition.
''The letter which Dixie published
was one of several hundred circular
letters which | sent out to business
houses, urging them to register.
Among the lists which I turned over
to my stenographer to write to, it
now develops contained the names of
three negro firms. | expect to write
a considerable number of other let
tiers along the same lines and maybe
some other negro firm will get let
ter from me, but it will be Just as

Outside the principal villages on the
larger islands. the islands themselves
have undergone little or no change
Civilization has done little in the
South Sea islands outside of putting
an end to cannibalism except to put
more clothing on the natives who live
in town and to erect a few buildings
to mar the natural scenery.
Semi-ciyilized, yet retaining almost
all their native simplicity, the natives
are still the South Sea islanders Of
hundred years ago. They are still
children of nature, although they are
forced to obey the laws of the white
nations which now rule them Their
simple nature has not rebelled against
this invasion and they have gone on
under the new order, living their easy
going lives as before.
One Of the principal groups of the
Australasian archipelago is the So

found the gem of them all, the pearl

surprisingly temperate the year round,

the island, fringed with cocoanut
