Newspapers everywhere are still
talking about the Vermont election.
Liberal interests declare it is the be-
ginning of the end for the national
prohibition movement. Anti-Saloon

have made the liberals highly optim

BIG ROSIN COMPANY is
TO OPEN BRANCH HERE

That it is the intention Of the
Rosin and Turpentine Export Com
pany to open offices IN Pensacola, is
the report published in the Lumber
Trade Journal of August /. The
company was recently organized in
Savannah, and it is also stated that
offices will be opened in New Or
leans.
Commenting on the extension
which the company is planning, the
Journal says;
It is rumored to be the intention
of the Resin & Turpentine Export
Company to purchase and carry as
normal stock at least 100000 barrels
of rosin. In this connection it is
noted that during the last three
weeks that company has only been
able to purchase $4,000 barrels. IF
that concern is only able to purchase
$4,000 barrels in three weeks, when
receipts during the same period were
the heaviest they are apt to be at
any time during the season, it would
require on the same basis about Is
weeks to secure the desired quota of
100000 barrels. This would mean
about November Is, but as receipts
from now on viii decline it will really
be January 1, 1917, at least before
such a holding could be acquired.

Washington, Aug. 6.-New farm
loan board charged with the organi-
zation of a federal land bank system
providing methods for making loans
to farmers on first mortgages of
land, will hold its first meeting at
the treasury department. tomorrow.
The country will be divided into

All of this provided that the Rosin
& Turpentine Export Company does
not sell any of their accumulation
and that the other dealers stay out
of the market and do not buy in the
meantime. This company has al
ready received orders for resins to be
shipped the Russian government, and
as they will receive large orders
from other foreign countries, it looks
as if that concern will not receive
from this years operations a surplus
stock of 100000 barrels of rosins.
Besides it is inconceivable that the
other large dealers are going to re-
main out of the market and buy very
little rosin. They will undoubtedly
come into the market and buy resins
in order to have a sufficient stock
on hand to meet the demands of the
winter trade.
1t is also to be expected that the
large American consumers will dis
continue their practice of buying
from hand to mouth and will also &C
cumulate some excess stocks in order
to carry them through the non-pro-
ducing months. Also owing to the in
creased purchasing power Of the
English people it is to be expected
that large quantities of rosins will
be exported to England in the next
80 to 40 days.

FREIGHT RATE ON FLOUR
REDUCED; URGE LOWER
SCALE ON CORN RATES

devastation of the boil weevil in the
cotton crops, the farmers have had
to turn their attention to other crops.
The corn acreage and production has
consequently been largely increased
and the farmers are now looking to
it as one of their main money crops.
The petition addressed to the COM
missioners reads as follows:-
Discrimination in Florida.
Owing to changed conditions, it
has become necessary for the farm
ers in this county to make out of
corn a cash CROP; and in order to do
us, we must have freight rates, in
order that our farmers who raise
corn, may compete with the farmers
of other corn raising states.
To show the inequality now exist
ing, freight rates on corn from Hen
derson KY, distance of aboSt seven
hundred and fifty (750) miles to
Pensacola, Fla, is ten cents per G..
w. T. while the rate over points on
the Louisville & Nashville Railroad
in Florida to Pensacola, a distance
of about one hundred and fifty (150)
miles, freight rate of Is cents per
C. w. T.
Therefore, we, the citizens of Flor
ida, respectively petition your hon
orable body to put in force fair
and equitable rate on corn, hay and
feed products derived from corn and
hay, between different points in
Florida, both in car lots and less
than car lots"
The commissioners have brought
the matter up informally with the
freight traffic manager of the Louis
vile & Nashville Railroad.

SPECIAL 70 THE JOURNAL.

SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.
Tallahassee, Aug. 6.-As a result
of recent negotiations between the
railroad commissioners and traffic
officials of the Louisville & Nash
vile Railroad Company, the rate on
flour in sacks packed in burlap bags
has been reduced from class C to
class D. Several years ago the COM
nlissioners amended the Florida
classification providing for class D
on flour in sacks packed in burlap,
but the rate was never operated on
the Louisville & Nashville, because
that line got an Injunction restrain
ing them from enforcing the rate on
that line and the injunction has been
IN effect ever since, but now the Of
ficials of the L. & N. agree to put in
the commissioners classification and
to resist it no further.
AS an illustration to show what
the reduced rate means, the class G
rate for a 50-mile haul is IA cents;
class d rate II cents per hundred
pounds; that is, the reduced rate on
flour that became effective June %
is saving of three cents per hun
bred pounds. A 100-mile haul class
G rate is 20 cents, and class D rate
IA cents, a saving of eight cents per
hundred pounds.
The railroad commissioners are re-
ceiving voluminous petitions from
every town and community in West
Florida served by the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad, asking for re-
duction on corn in car load lots. The
petition sets forth the fact that West
Florida is great farming section.

for Interment.

Thomas P. Gravette. superinten-
dent at the A. f. Turner & Com
pany's plant, just north of the city
limits, was instantly killed at the
plant when a still exploded Sunday
afternoon shortly after o'clock. He
is survived by his wife, and came
here some time ago from jackson,
Tenn. The body was brought to the
Northup & Wood undertaking par
lors last night and embalmed. 1t will
probably be shipped today to his old
home, for burial.
Otto Reichman, residing on Four
teenth avenue, who was near the still
when it exploded, was painfully in
jured, but not seriously. He was at
tended both at the plant and at his
home, and during the afternoon was
enabled again to visit the scene of
the explosion.
The plant was almost completely
wrecked. The still, which caused the
death of the superintendent when it
exploded and carrying from IT'S to
235 barrels of extraets, was a COM
plete loss, it was stated, and a large
part of the roof of the building was
blown off.
A. E. Turner, head of the company
bearing his name, was in the city last
night.

yet unable to say just what caused
the still to explode. The still is Ia
by IL feet, and has a capacity of
about 235 barrels. Possibly IT'S were
in the still when it went up. I could
not say whether lightning struck and
set it off or not. In fact, as I stated,
1 cannot now say, cannot even offer
a suggestion, as to what caused the
explosion"
Mr.. Turner stated that the acci-
dent was Gust as bad as it could
be, H6r It resulted in the death OF
our superintendent, a good man." and
he seemed to feel the loss keenly.
There was one eyewitness to the
accident. This was Otto Reichman

He told Mr.. Turner that he was
standing on one side of the still and
Mr.. Gravette on the opposite side
1t was then a little after O'Clock

drizzly rain, and at intervals bril-.

SUBMARINE? CERTAINLY,
THE PEOPLE SAID; BUT
IT WAS ONLY A BARGE

No, it wasn't the Bremen. 1t was
the Halifax. And strangely enough
that is just where you would have
been told to go-if you had expressed
the tiniest doubt Sunday afternoon
that the sub-sea trade was at that
moment swinging into Pensacola har-
Dor.
Nobody here had seen a submarine
but the strange craft as it grew up
out of the bay, approaching nearer
and nearer, certainly looked like one.
Glasses were at a premioum, and one
man raked in the shekels, selling
'1ooks" at a dime per. And when it
got very, very close, it looked so
much like a submarine, that one man
burned the telegraph wires with this
message to New York: Submarine;
reported Bremen, coming up bay"
But when the boat came alongside
Palafox street wharf, it wasn't the
Bremen at all, it was the Halifax,
as harmless and commonplace as any
ferry boat. The Halifax is one Of
several steel barges which are being
built in Louisiana for delivery to
Jacksonville. Equipped with an en-
CINE, the barge is driven about ten
knots an hour. No house or super
structure of any kind was on the
Halifax, the jolly old skipper saying
that he preferred to wait until he
could get the protection of the in
land bays and rivers upon which the
Halifax will be operated after being
delivered to her new owners.

R. J. Leary, the well-known immi-

crossing Palafox street at the inter

by an automobile which was travel

the ribs were broken.
