DRUMMOND IS NEW.
SECRETARY OF W..
FLORIDA c. OF C..

At meeting of the board of direct
ors of the West Florida Chamber of
Commerce, which took place at Boni-
fay tuesday. Jas. C. Drummond,
whose home is in Pensacola at pres
ent, was chosen as secretary, sue
ceeding JAS. A. Emmett. The election
was reported to have been unanimous.
The condition surrounding the cleo
ton of Mr.. Drummond was that he
move Immediately to Bombay, taking
up his residence in. that place. where
the headquarters of the West Florida
Chamber of Commerce are located.
At the meeting of the directors the
proposition as featured and urged by
the Tallahassee Boosters Club, that
the North Florida and the West Flor
ida Chambers of Commerce be merg-
ed, was discussed, but it was the
consensus of opinion that more gen.
eral good could be rendered West
Florida by the organization working
Independently. Should the merger as
proposed be made, it was said, West
Florida would hold a minority stand
ing in the organization, and it would
be expected that Jacksonville, in the
eastern border of the territory en-
braced in said organization, would en-
deavor dictate everything, and this
part of the state would suffer in con-
sequence. Tallahassee, Senator Lind
say stated, wanted to merge the two
chambers because the capital city's
geographical situation would warrant
the Boosters of that place working for
headquarters there, with possibly a
president and secretary.

ACT OF TAYLOR IN.
STABB|NG MANNING.
WAS UNSUITABLE

According to a conclusion reached
by Justice of the Peace Will L. john
son, the act of James Taylor in stab
bling RUDE Manning to death was
justifable; that Taylor, acting in
self-defense, only had employed suffi-
cient means to warrant his own per-
sonal safety when he is said to have
plunged knife into Manning, from
the effects of which the latter died.
This opinion was reached only
after new evidence had been adduced.
Three new witnesses were sworn when
the hearing was called at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning, among them being
a negro named Montgomery, who is
employed in tipping house on North
DeVilliers street. Montgomery, un-
der oath, swore that he heard Man
ming remark that he carried knife
and was going to kill Taylor for lying
on him." or words to that effect. 1t
was also sworn that a threat of this
nature had reached Taylor, and that
the latter was under the impression
when he met Manning in the woods
that the latter still carried the knife
of which, in the presence of witness, a
threat had been made to "use it on
Taylor when | meet him."
Two other witnesses who heard
Manning and Mrs. Taylor disputing,
were also produced, and finally, the
defendant was sworn and made his
statement. Taylor said that it was not
so that he made a trip to hunt up
Manning, as former reports had it.
He said that, all unknown to him that
Manning was anywhere in the neigh
borhood, he made a trip into the
woods to look after some domestic
animals which he owned, and which
had been allowed to roam. Upon
coming out of the woods, it was told,
he met Manning in the road. He
thought Manning had been drinking,
or else the latter appeared to be very
angry and began at once to uphraid
and threaten.
A clear statement was given by Tay-
lor, and it impressed the court so
favorably that Taylor was discharged
from custody.

GAS PRESSURE BE
 AMPLE TODAY, IS
 ASSURANCE GIVEN
Trouble Due to Regulating Stations Working Ilnprop-
 erly, Says Manager.

The people of Pine Bluff can res assured there will be ample gas pressure Wednesday and hereafter said Manager NJ. D. Randolph of the gas company last night, after his re turn from an inspection visit to the regulating station at Fourth avenue and Mississippi street.
 We had plenty of gas today a1G 1 had a strong pressure at all tue regulating stations 10 start the day. But we have been moving some of the stations, to obtain more safe and sat jsfactory conditions, and suddenly discovered that some Of the regulat- ing stations were working improper ly, and that there were complaints of poor pressure. It was some time be- fore ! could definitely locate ths par ticular stations at fault, and then it took more time to raise the pressure there. But it is all right now, and it will remain all right, if 1 have to place a man at each of the stations, to regulate the pressure by hand"
 Although there were numeroG: complaints of low pressure yesterday, there was no actual harm done or StIICI]HS CduSCu. T HG llOuUiC dH- peared in spots or sections, some DOT tions of the city having ample pres sure, and others having barely enough to satisfy ordinary demands.
 Several rooms in number of the city schools held no ses 7ions yester- day, due to the lack of heating fari'- ities. The Lakeside school closed two rooms yesterday forenoon and kept enc closed in the afternoon. The First ward school used it's coal stoves, and was the only ward school in the city not to suffer loss of time due to the cold wave.. All the schools re- ported better conditions in the after noon, than had existed during the forenoon.
 Considerable improvement in the pressure was noted early last night and Manager Randolph was confident that all the regulating stations would gain "headway" during the night and be more than able to 'carry the en- tire load" today and steadily in the future.

l. M. BRINGS IE 1000 BALES BY
 SPECIAL TRAIN
Negro with Barrel of Water and Pail on Each of 15
 Flat Cars Cotton Laden.

Fifteen flat cars, each piled high with bales of cotton, the entire ship ment aggregating about 1000 bales of cotton, was brought into Pine Bluff yesterday as a special train by the Iron Mountain, from Dumas and in- termediate points.
 The greater part of cotton was con- signed to warehouses and congresses in Pine Bluff, and most of it had been unloaded last night and safely stored indoors.
 On each of the flat cars was ne- gro, barrel of water and a bucket, as g precaution against fire which might start from sparks falling in the unprotected cotton. There were two engines hauling the train, this also to reduce to the minimum the danger from sparks. And to cap it all, Divs- ion Superintendent J. T. Shea left his headquarters at McGehee and made 1 the journey with the train, and had personal charge of the venture. The l trip was made without incident. l The special train was operated by the Iron Mountain to relieve the many small stations along the line of their accumulations of cotton awaiting ship ment, and as result, the Iron Noun tain now expects to be able to handle without difficulty all the cotton tha; may be offered it the remainder of the season. The train attracted consider able attention along the line as wei as in Pine Bluff upon it's arrival here

 Captain Meeks Of the Woodman of the World degree team IS confident that when the cold spell breaks to- day or tomorrow. the crowds at the show grounds will be sufficiently large 10 satisfy the most insistent Woodman, and that the financial re- suit of the fall festival will be satis- factory.
 The whip" riding device never before seen in Fine Bluff, is appa rently the most popular feature of the shows, so far as the general run of folk is concerned, and it has been taxed to it's capacity to care for all those who desire to try ride. TAe big Ferris wheel and the. old reliahl merry .go-round have not been de- ee,ted. however, each of the ridia devices having it's full share of pat rCnage The. trained animal show IS another big favorite with the crowds.
