Death q Great SHOCK.

The death of Hon. Frank l.. Mayes,
editor OF The Pensacola Journal, came
as great shock to the members of the
newspaper fraternity Throughout Ala
hama, as well as It did to the mem oers
OF the press OF his home state He was
III hut a week, and even his closest
friends did not realize that the angel
OF death was lowering near, ready to
$ az the thread of life OF this brilliant
gifted and much esteemed gentleman
In his death. clean. progressive Journals
ism loses one Of its most zealous adj
herents. and the state OF Florida and
city OF Pensacola loses one of their
nobiest citizens. He has fought the
fight May his reward be all that we
are taught TO believe is bestowed upon
the good and faithful Slocumb, Gaia
Observer.

manager of The Pensacola Journal
died Monday morning at 3:55 O'Clock
at his home, corner of Eleventh avenue
and Cervantes street. Death was due
to erysipelas, complicated with pleu-
risy, and resulted after an illness .:
about four days.
From the time he left The Journa'
ONCE Wednesday afternoon he grew
steadily worse and for the last twenty
four hours of his life he was conscious
only at intervals. All hope Of his
recovery was abandoned by attendina
physicians that night at IL o'clock an5
he sank rapidly until the end came.
All of the men who were ever EN-.
ployed by Colonel Mayes loved him
To all who were associated with hin,
he was a loyal friend and counselor as
well as an employer During one OF
his last moments of consciousness ht
made inquiries regarding all of his
faithful employees and associates.
Colonel Mayes was always actively
interested in politics and held var
ious offices of honor and trust. He was
serving his second term as chairman o.
the Third Congressional District Dem
ocratic Executive Committee and was
twice elected delegate to the Democra-
tic National Convention from the

West FIorida Deep in Gloom.

A deep gloom was cast over all West
Florida last Monday morning when the
sad news OF the death Of Col. Frank l.
Mayes. the popular and talented edi-
tor OF The Pensacola Journal was
made known. Mr.. Mayes was one Of
the States best known and most USE
full citizens. Pensacola. his home town
has had many misfortunes the past few
months, but in our opinion the dealt
of Col Mayes is the heaviest blow she
has yet had to withstand. He was 9
man in every sense of the word, always
boosting for Pensacola, West Florida
and the State encouraging and help
ing his people in every possible way
the rich, the poor and the middle
classes all loved and honored Frank L.
Mayes. His counsel and advice was
sought and needed by men of all walks
OF life. Had he been selfish he might
have held any political position in
the state, but he preferred helping his
friends to these positions of homo
while ne labored for a bigger and
better Pensacola II may be truly sale
at him, HE lived to bless mankind
