.UNDERSEA BOATS
LEAVE NEW YORK To
COME TOPENSACOLA
REPORTED BY SUNDAYS NEW
YORK HERALD THAT FOUR
SUBMARINES, TWO DESTROY
Frs AND TENDER ON WAY.

Four submarines, two torpedo boat
destroyers and the tender Tallahassee
are reported by the New York Herald
of Sunday TO have departed from the
navy yard, New York, for Pensacola,
and within the next few weeks, it is
expected they will be in Pensacola
harbor for an indefinite stay, and
before long viii be joined by num-
Der of other naval vessels which are
now in West Indian waters.
The submarines XII, K-2, KS and
K-6, conveyed by the monitor ITALIA
hassee, and accompanied by the de-
stroyers Worden and McDonough are
the half dozen naval vessels reported
to have steamed for Pensacola.
The Tallahassee, the tender, form
erly boosted of the name of Florida,
but when the big first-line battleship
of that name was launched, the mont
tor was given the name of the states
capital city and the larger and more
pretentious ship took the name of the
state itself.
Early in February, according to
authoritative information, other naval
ships will start toward this port for
an extended stay, and it is announced
that the cruiser Columbia will be
among that number. Local interest
attaches to the coming of this fleet
naval ship from the fact that Edward
81. Loftin, brother of the well-lnown
solicitor for Escambia county, is
lieutenant aboard that ship. He was
lately assigned to the Columbia from
the New York navy yard, where he
was on instruction. The young man
will be happily greeted by Pensa-
colians who have been following his
rise in the navy with feenngs of con-
graduation.

LIONS AND MADE PICTURES
OF THE KINGS OF THE FOREST

For the purpose of getting some
good animal pictures" as he express
ed it, Lee Bell, yesterday made bold
enough to enter a cage wherein were
confined four lions of the Sheesly
Shows, and later entered a cage
where a beautiful leopard reclined,
purring wonderingly at the intrusion
of a stranger into her compartments.
The lions were pictured in group,
while the leopard was snapped alone.
Mr.. Bell said he obtained some
good pictures, even if he did have to
actually beard the lion in his den, .
and said that the beasts behaved won

"Chimmie Fadden."

So great was the success of Victor
Moore in the Jesse L. Lasky produc-
ton of "Chimmie Fadden," that the
company secured Mr.. Moore's services
for long term of years for a series
of stories founded on the adventures
of the same character.
Mr.. Cecil B. DeMille, the director
general of the LasEy Company, has
felt for some time that the public
would appreciate high-class comedy
on the screen; that as many laughs
could be secured in this kind of COM
edy as could be obtained by the slap
stick methods. With this aim in
view, he produced the first "Chimmie
Fadden" picture. Instantaneous was
its success.

The presentation of the operetta

Dorothy Webb in the title role,
brought pleasure to hundreds of
Charlotte people who attended, and
also to many from nearby points who
made the special trip to Charlotte to
see this Savage production, in which
music, comedy and plenty Of enter
tainment are to be found.
The operetta was witnessed by two
good crowds, last nights being a ca
pacity house, and the production of
"Sari" by the company here was up to
the highest expectation. The appear
ance Of this piquant and fascinating
production has been awaited with
keen expectation by many theater-
goers and these were not at all dis
appointed in the big production at the
academy, but expressed the greatest
delight with the entire operetta, in
Guiding the leading people in the cast,
the chorus and the entire work of
the company.
Miss Webb, as the leading artist in
the production, was the center Of at

the play, and showed vivacity, must

from start to finish. She adapted her
self to the difficult roles and the
comic, dramatic and all other situa-

talent, with the greatest ease and her

two audiences enough amusement and
entertainment to make them place the
young artist high up the gamut of
operate and histrionic perfection.

LIE NAILED.

Secretary of State, the Hon.
James p. Lewis, has certified the
ballots for the August Primary
and the ballots have been print
ed accordingly in all the counties
of the 7th Appellate district.
The Secretary of State holds
that Judge Simpsons filing Of
expense account was a substan-
tial compliance with the law.
Judge SIMPSONS enemies knew
it was a lie when they circulated
all over the district that he had
not filed his expense account.
But they know also the only
hopes they have of defeating
Sampson was to get his name off
the ballot or deceive the voters
by their malicious falsehoods.

Barbourville, Ky.
The Appellate Judges race in
Laurel county is becoming more
interesting every day. A large
number of the voters of this
county who have previously been
indifferently are now rallying to
the support of Judge Sampson.
They say they are for Judge
Sampson because he has proved
himself to be a friend to the
common people. He made a
speech at London a few days
ago and a large majority of the
people seemed to be for him and
many of them pledged him
their support and at cross roads
where he made a speech to a
large crowd of voters a standing
vote was taken and every man
was for Judge Sampson. He is
going to carry Laurel county by
a nice majority,

100 WORKERS IN THE FIELD.

Such enthusiasm has seldom been
seen in an election in this part of
the country. Simpsons friends
claim they will give him the
votes in this end of the distaict
by enormous and unusual ma
jorities in every county in this
great Cumberland Valley section.
The people have profited by the
lesson learned in the defeat of
Edwin p. Morrow for governor
and are rallying one and all to
the support of their champion.
That Sampson is a winner they
are practically sure, but will not
let over-confdence keep them
from the polls on August 9Th.

Certain enemies of Judge
Sampson have recently been busy
circulating among the voters
false reports as to his strength
in the race for Appellate Judge,
in letters, a number of which
have been placed in our hands,
claiming that some others among
the candidates were stronger in
the Appellate District.
Here are a few of the many
letters received by the Advocate
with also letters and extracts
from letters on file at Simpsons
headquarters.

he will not be able to poll more
than 200 or 300 votes in the en-
