IN MARCH, 1774, after communicat-
ing to the House the dispatches
= from America, the leaders OF the
government, now under Lord North,
proposed and carried very drastic
measures.
Boston, transferring its trade after
the first of June to the older port Of
Salem.
Since the headstrong town would
not have the tea. 1t should have no
trade at all.
BY another bill they suspended the
charter of the colony.
BY a third they made provision for
the quartering of troops within the
province; and by fourth they legal
ized the transfer to England of trials
growing out of attempts to queu riots
in the colony.
News fingered on the eeas in those
days, waiting for the wind. and the
critical news of what had been done
the rest.
It was the I'd of June before the
text of the new statutes was known

for England, never to return.
Born and bred in Massachusetts,, of
the stock of the colony itself, he had
nevertheless stood steadfastly to his
duty as an oficer of the crown, deem
ing Massachusetts best served by the
law. He had suffered more than most
men would have endured, but his suf-
ferings had not blinded him with pas
sion. He knew as well as any man the
real state of affairs in the colony
though he looked at them as COVER
nor, not as the peoples advocate
and now went to England to make
them clear to the ministers.

APPRECIATIVE
OF RECEPTION
WRITES LETTER TO A FRIEND
IN PENSACOLA, CONVEYING
HIS BEST AND WARMEST
THANKS FOR TREATMENT.

DR.. II. A. Elkourie, the weIl-lnown
Birmingham physician, who was
among the Alabama Woodmen con-
tingent who spent a few days here,
and who was heard in eloquent re-
sponses during his stay upon two
occasions, seems to have been over
whelmed with the attentions which
were shown him, and in letter to
R. Pope Reese, seeks to convey his
most earnest appreciation for the at
tention he received in Pensacola.
His letter to Mr.. Reese follows:
Letter to Mr. Reese.
Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 4, 1915.
Hon. r. Pope Reese, Pensacola, Fla.
My Dear Mr.. Reese: Had someone
described your hospitality, and the
great spirit of brotherhood and gen.
uine good fellowship prior to my
visit, l would have stamped him
either as an exaggerator or fool;
but have seen-I believe.
To merely thank you and the citi-
zens you represented would be but
the common, everyday utilities that
are often a matter of form rather
than expressive of real internal and
everlasting feelings. Permit me to
assure you that never in my life
have / been so burdensomely loaded
with gratitude as I am to the people
of Pensacola, and I trust the day
will come when l will be given the
opportunity of properly proving my
everlasting obligations.
Will you present my profoundest
respects to the Sovereigns and all
others who participated in the making
of my visit most enjoyable one?
Thanking you again, and trusting
to have the pleasure Of seeing you
at an early date, am
Sincerely yours,
H. A. ELKOURIE.

FORNEGRO SCHOOL
IN REMOVING PRESENT BUILD
ING, HOWEVER, ONE OF THE
OLDEST LANDMARKS WILL BE
DEMOLISHED. IT IS CLAIMED.
SPECIAL TO THE JoURNAL.


Mariana, Dec. 1o.-At a special
meeting of the country school board
held for the purpose of selecting a
site for the new negro school build
ing it was decided to erect the build
ing in what is known as Brooklyn, a
colored suburb of the city, where a
splendid site of three acres of ground
has been donated for the purpose.
This removes one of the oldest land
marks of the city, the colored school
having been for fifty years located
on what is now one of the principal
streets of the city. The tearing down
Of the dilapidated structure will add
much to the appearance Of the thor
oughfare as well as to the value of
adjacent property. The new location
meets with hearty approval from the
citizens of both races.
Considerable interest is being
taken in this city and throughout the
county in the good roads meeting be-
ing held in Mobile to locate the route
of the Old Spanish Trail.
While Mariana expects to be To-
Gated on the route of the Trail, re-
CARELESS Of whether the northern or
the southern is selected, still, as q
matter Of state pride, it is lending its
influence to the effort to secure the
all-Florida route.

|0F CAMP FIRE GIRLS
ST. NICHOLAS WEEK WILL FUR
THEIR PLANS TO PROVIDE FOR
ALL CHILDREN OF CITY AND
ASSURE A HAPPY CHRISTMAS.

Camp Fire Girls, with their motto,
do all things well that come your
way, make some one happy every
day." Girls Friendly, whose ideal it
is to "bear one another's burdens"
can find no better way to carry out
their ideals than by working for the
Doll and Toy Fund. These girls with
the society girls, grammar and high
school girls are asked to meet at The
Journal Office this afternoon at 8
o'clock when definite plans for st.
Nicholas week will be formed.
The splendid idea so successfully
carried out all over the South of hav-
ing great street sale of tickets for
charitable entertainments has been
proposed here and number of girls
have consented to give their services
for the sale which will precede ST.
Nicholas Day at the Isis on Friday,
December II. There will be groups
of young women and their chaperones
on every down.town street corner
and in some of the stores. All will
help in great tag day celebration.
There are number of young wo-
men who have already offered their
services, but it is most important to
reach everyone who would like to help
in this cause. Surely no girl can re-
fuse SO small thing when it means
SO much. In every great movement
there must be cooperation and it is
earnestly desired that the older peo-
pie Of the community use their in
fiuence. The public school teachers
and all others interested are invited
to attend the meeting this afternoon
with the girls and it is sincerely
hoped that they, too, will aid in max
ing st. Nicholas week, which will be
next week, the great success which
the cause deserves.
There has been splendid co-opera-
ton on the part of educators and
others who are interested in young
girls. Miss Flora Cox, of the high
school faculty, who gave her talents
freely and graciously at recital last
year for the. benefit of the Doll and
Toy Fund; Mr.. Coleman, principal of
the grammar school, and Miss Leila
Abercronbie, guardian of the Camp
Fire Girls, are among those most ac-
lively interested. Will you not join
this movement, also?
The meeting is called for o'clock
this afternoon, Glance at the total
list Of contributions given below, the
generosity of few, and see if you do
not think you should make an effort
to help.
Is it just that you, in your plenty,
should neglect the children of the
poor at this season, especially dedi-
Gated to them?
