AN APPEAL

We wish to impress upon our patrons that quite a number are in arrears on their subscription to the Picayune. and further more, at the present. price ot paper we are not able to wait much longer for you to come Tn and settle up. Now, friends. this is only a dollar or two as far as you are concerned, but in the aggregate it means much to us. We are owing bills that must be paid, and what if we did not owe one cent and had money in the bank, you owe it to Us and 1t IS ours and we should have 1t. It does not pay us to put a man Tn the field to collect these amounts, then why not save us that un- necessary expence and bring or send it in. We trust that you will heartily respond to this call. We may have to raise the price of our paper, many are doing 1t all over the country and it looks very much like we will have to follow suit. so pay up now be- fore we do have to make the raise. Cotton is good price and everybody seems to be happy but the editor, and his face is as long as your arm, now come on and make him happy too.

NEW OFFICERS TAKE OATH N0-
 VENEER 30.

All county, district and state officers, except the five constitu- tional state officers, elected at the general election November r will take the oath of office Nov ember 30, according to decision reached Saturday at a conference between secretary of Stae Earle w. Hodges. Governor Hays, and Attorney General Wallace Davis Formerely the new officers as- sumed office October 3l. When the consolidation of election law passed, by the last legislature, moved the date of the election up two months, MT. Hodges an- nounced he would issue the cOm- mission to officers dated Decem- Der 3l or January 1,
 Last week MT. Hodges dlsc0v- cred that 1t would be impossible to commission county collectors later than December 1, because Section 7042 of Kirby's Digest provides that collectors shall file their bond and have it approved not later than the first Monday in December, on their offices shall be declared vacant. The conference was then called, re- sulting in a decision to have ak officers take office November 90.
 The five constitutional state officers gre not affected by the decision are .the governor, at- torney general, secretary of state. state auditor, and slate treasurer, The constitution provides they shall take office when the legislature meets. This is in January.
 It is probable several changes in the consolidation of elections law will be sought in the next legislature. Several members have said they will introduce bills to repeal the law. If the law is not repealed it probably be amended by fixting a date when officers shall take office and have other changes made in it. As it was passed no date was fixed and the matter was left to the secretary of state, who is au- thorized by law to issue and date the commissions the officers re. ceive. The law was fought through the last Senate and had considerable oppision in the 1 house.

MAY CONTINUE
LYCEUM COURSE

The continuance of the lyceum
course in Pensacola this season is
being considered by promoters of
the movement, and it is expected
that plans will be arranged whereby
those who are interestd in the course
will have an opportunity of signify
ing their support before the program
is contracted for.
In discussing the plan of the man
agement, Prof. VIM. Tyler, of the
high school faculty, stated yesterday
that it is only in this way that calcu-
lations for the entertainment can be
made correctly. cit would be the
height of folly" said Mr.. Tyler, "for
two or three persons to go ahead and
contract for lyceum course costing
several hundred dollars, without first
ascertaining to what extent the pub
lie would support and patronize it
81 believe, however, that the move
ment will meet with success at the
hands of the Pensacola public, and a
better lyceum course will be arranged
than has ever been shown here be-
fore"

Port Royal, S. c., Sept. T.
Americans are latently the best bomb

say United States marine corps Off
GERS in charge of recruit training at

'fThe average American youth
early learns to throw baseball with
speed and accuracy and it is because
of that, we, as nation, are especially
fitted to wage the modern war of

POSTPONE CASE
AGAINST AUTO|ST

Because of the enforced absence of
the defendants counsel, the case
against Wyatt Golson, charged with
speeding in an automobile, was not
disposed of as had been intended. One
material city witness was also re-
ported not found, and this was anoth-
er reason for further postponement
of the case until probably today. In
the meantime, Golson is held in the
city Jail under bond of $3.50, which,
being unable to give, the young man
remains locked up. The trial is ex-
pected to prove interesting.
Golson, it is charged, was in the
auto, and was driving the car which
ran down and seriously injured R.
J. Leary, immigration inspector at
this point. The latter has never been
able to leave his room since the &C
cident, whieh occurred on the evening
of August 6.

ROBERTS BOYS
To ASK FOR A
COMMU TAT|ON
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.


Milton, Fla, Sept. 7.-As the state
pardoning board has a meeting the
18th of this month a good deal of
interest is felt here over what will be
done with the petition of the Roberts
brothers, under sentence of death for
the murder of Mrs. Emily Wyman at
East Bay in this county last year.
Attorney w. w. Clark will appear
IN their behalf before the board and
ask that the death penalty be COM
muted to life Imprisonment. There
is some quiet speculation as to
whether Hon. John P. Stokes will re-
sist the application for communication.
The impression seems to prevail that
he will. As will be remembered, it
was most diabolical murder with
which they are charged, and as the
supreme court of the state has decided
the evidence upon which the verdict
was found was sufficient, it is believ-
ed tat Mr.. Stokes will ask that the
finding of the jury and the sentence

The Spanish steamship Cabo Cervera,
which came with cargo of iron py-

fused until such showing could be
