NEW YEARS LETTER.

Dear Friends:
We are now entering upon our new
year mission. We are here for a pur-
pose and let us not forget that our
example will not be forgotten.
Let each and every one make a
new resolution: that we will make
this year the best in our life. Let us
live closer to our Heavenly Father
and teach our little ones to give
thanks to our Lord Jesus for each and
every good thing that we receive. Let
us gather them around our firesides
and there ask our Father to teach us
how to teach them to glorify His
name, for Jesus said, "Suffer the little
children to come unto me and forbid
them not for of such is the Kingdom
OF Heaven. Then at the end of the
year 1915 our hearts will rejoice be-
cause of the example we have set.

in the mission field of western North
Carolina and later he was assistant
pastor of the First Baptist church of
Columbia during the pastorate of the
late DIR. w. c.. Lindsay. For time
he served the Baptist church of Mil
len, Ca, but was called back to this
State to take charge of the laymen's
movement.

DIR. T. M. Bailey, and three children
survive.
The funeral will be held Saturday
afternoon at Central Baptist church
at o'clock and will be conducted by

The late Mr.. wilkins was well
known in Columbia, where he served
for several years as assistant pastor

Mr.. Wilkins was born in Lacedo,
ILL.,, in 1872, the son of Mr.. and Mrs.

In 1907 the late Mr.. Wilkins left

Ga, where he labored for several
years with much success. A man
of much strength and ability, he was
known and loved by many Colum-
bians, who are grieved to hear of his
death, JOS. w. Norwood of Columbia,
a personal friend of Mr.. Wilkins, and

vile this morning to attend the fun
eral services this afternoon.

RAPID REPAIRS IN
TIE BLOCK PAVING

Rapid repairs are being made to
the buslled wood block paving, and
from all parts of the city reports
are received stating that damage to
paving has been made all right, and
that it is now in passable condition.
The extent of the buckled paving
may be surmised when it is announced
that instead of tagging the damaged
pavement spots with 145 red lights,
which was done since Wednesday of
last week through Monday of this
week, there is now needed but 81 red
lanterns at night.
All over the city the paving buckled
but a large force of men have been
kept busy, and probably by tonight,
practically all tagged places will be
passable.

THE PENSACOLA SPIRIT.
= %~A~AAAA~AAO~ =

Florida will sympathize with PEN
sacola in its latest misfortune. For
the second time in a period of ten
years the Deep Water City has been
the victim of a severe storm. While
details of damage cannot be ascer-
tanned yet, it is generally believed
that many thousands of dollars worth
of damage resulted.
Pensacola has been subjected to a
number of reverses in the past decade,
but her plucky spirit put her on the
map again in short order. Beginning
with the storm of 1906, which did
damage amounting into the Hundreds
of thousands, Pensacola next saw the
close of the navy yard, which was
| her greatest asset. Thousands of men
found daily employment there and the
order for the closing of the plant was
a shock almost as great as the storm
shortly before.
The next several years passed with
out furthe seriously affecting he1
progress and prosperity. She went
forward. Her shipping increased by
leaps and bounds. Then misfortune
came again. Three of the five banks
in the city failed and depositors il
two of them lost considerable of Their
savings. The stockholders in the other
saved the depositors, but to do 81
made number of them poor men
Coincident with these financial re-
verses came the war and a consequent
tie-up in shipping.
When this weeks storm hit the Deer
Water City and other points along tht
| gulf coast, that section was enioyine
increased business and prosperity.
I 1t is to be sincerely hoped that the
damage suffered is not nearly so grea
as early reports indicated and that I
will take only brief period for al
cities which suffered to recover. Mo
bile's case during the past decad
parallels Pensacola's. Both cities ar
deserving of great deal Of credit TO
the manner in which they have wealth

LESSON FROM NEW YORK.

The entire country has been moved to
pity by the reports of the epidemic OF in
fantile paralysis, which is sweeping that
city, bringing terror to the hearts of thou
sands of parents, and causing hundreds Of
deaths in New York and Brooklyn.
The New York papers, as well as press
dispatches, carry reports of deaths which
are appalling in the extreme, and a cam
paign of cleanliness is being waged by all
city departments to wipe out the epidemic.
Hundreds of violators Of the sanitary code
have been fined for disregarding depart
ment instructions, particularly in territories
where the epidemic is most pronounced, ac-
cording to Geographic news from New
York city.
The fact that New York is waging a cam
paign to prevent the spread of the disease,
and that it is believed that it will be pos
sible to cope with the situation and to put
a stop to its ravages, suggests to one that if
a cleanup campaign is necessary now to
stop the spread of the disease, campaign
earlier in the season might have served 10
prevent the epidemic altogether.
New York was not found in a sanitary
condition, when Investigations were made.
| looking to the prevention of further spread
of the malady which has shaken New York
to its centre, and caused an exodus Of chill
dren from the city
Pensacola should take warning from
New York's dilemma The time to clean
UP is before the city is in dire need of Sch
cleaning. There has been much talk for a
number of months of cleanup campaign
in Pensacola, but so far no direct results
have been evident. Now that the stor.n has
given Pensacola greater reason for such
a campaign than it has had before, this city
should take warning from New York's pre-
dicament, and a cleanup campaign shoult
be waged at once.
Pensacola is not facing any danger of al
epidemic of infantile paralysis, but cleanli
ness is necessary to the health of every com
munity. Not only the city, but every house
holder should make every possible effort t.
clean up the streets and private premise
as soon as possible to do all that is human
to prevent sickness of any kind

THE DOCK IS ASSURED.

The Pensacola drydock, which has been
so strongly advocated by The Journal, is
about to be realized.
There are three groups of men contem-
plating putting dock here. Each group
is financially able to swing the deal-each
group is qualified to make the enterprise a
success.
That one man or one group of men
should be found able, capable and willing
to accomplish such an undertaking, would
speak well for any community; but that
three sets of men should be anxious to do
it, is nothing short of remarkable. A
tribute to their own enterprise, it also indi-
Gates their faith in the commercial future
of Pensacola.
We will have the dock-that much is
certain; but how much better for Pensa-
cola if these three different groups of men
consolidated their efforts.

U-BOAT EXPLOIT.

Germany has pulled off the greatest ad-
vertising stunt in history in sending the
giant U-boat across the Atlantic
Some of US will get hysterical about it,
but mostly we will be immensely interested
because of the romance of the thing. Incl
dentally let's give the so-ca11ed phlegmatic
Germans great credit for their vision and
daring
But the arrival of the Deutschland in
Baltimore in no way settles the war in
Europe. Nor does it break the British sea
power
And the fact that the submarine had to
make detour of 800 miles proves that it
paid the highest compliment possible to
British control of the seas.
Whether or not the presence of the
U-boat in our port is hint or subtle threat
is for diplomats to decide If one U-boat
can do it, so can twenty, or two hundred, or
two thousand
The success of the trip may warn us to
take certain precautions in our prepare :,
ness program. Or it may make us insist
on an international treaty for the policing
of the seas.
Clever advertising at the psychological
moment" is the great outstanding fact in
the present admirable exploit.

PENsAcoLA's MILITIA.

It is perfectly TRUE that we are not dl wal
with Mexico or Germany 1t is also true
that we are not likely to be. But the forrna-
ton of Pensacola's militia is just as I'M
perative now as it ever was.
Towns smaller and larger than Pensa-
cola have well-organized and enthusiastic
militia companies. These towns are scat
tered throughout the length and breadth
Of the United States They are in Florida
they are in West Florida To our shame,
be it said, that of the ninety men who
pledged themselves several weeks ago to
the local militia, only about a score
showed up Friday night for the hnal or
ganization.
That patriotism and manhood are as
earnest here as anywhere else in the United
States is too self-evident for mention The
readiness with which volunteers offered
themselves when war seemed only matter
of minutes, bore out the oft-repeated asser-
ton that in time of need a million men
would spring to the defence OF their
country Men, yes; but not soldiers. 1t
takes more than hurrah and a brag to
NAL e an efficient fighting man, as has
been proved during the recent moblllza-
ton Of our militia which has reached the
border without uniforms, guns, officers,
horses; which has been held in camp be-
cause shoes and underwear were lacking
hich almost starved while in transit be-
cause someone Numbered and the grub ran
short
Our boys were eager to enlist when they
thought they would be sent to Mexico by
the next train But if they waited until
hostiities broke out to learn how to drill
and shoot and manipulate the complicated
machinery of modern warfare they would
never have any chance of seeing active ser
vice The closest they would get to the
firing line would be some back-woods
training camp.
If, on the other hand, they were in an
efficient state of organization-if they
knew the manuel and understood field
operations, they would be sent to the front
on the very first troop train, and instead
of being a burden on their country in the
time of need, they would be of some benefit
to it.
On Monday night there will be a rally
at Armory hall to organize a permanent
militia here. Let every young man o.
Pensacola be there Unless we do some
thing toward preparedness, there is no use
to talk preparedness. Again, in time O
peace, militia organization serves an i'm
portant social function. 1t brings mer
together as in a club, and its influence i
always felt. It moreover gives the city al
extra police force, should the need arise
Summer camps and hikes are the best vaca
tions young fellows could have, and by
little drill and discipline they will be bette
citizens in time of peace and efficient sol
diers in time of war-not mere shouters.

PROTECTING MEXICAN BORDER

One hundred thousand national guards
men are in the southwest, or modified, to
protect our Mexican border The boys have
some job. The length of our border line
on Mexico, from Brownsville, Texas, to the
Pacific ocean, is over 1900 miles, or the dis
lance from Washington, D. c., to Denver.
That figures about seventy-hve men to the
mile. It'll take more men than that to
stop all raids
