OCCUPY CELLS At
.ESCAMB|A Cd. JAIL

VIII and Bob Blackwell, who were
removed to CrestvieW a few days ago
to answer charges against them when
was convened, have been returned to
the Escambia county Jail. arriving
yesterday in custody of Sheriff SUIT
ton. Under conviction for the muir
der of the aged Davis couple, they
were placed in the private cells at
the county jail, and not permitted to
roam about the corridor as TRUSTEES.
These men were taken to Crest
view, as stated, for the purpose of
answering indictments which had
been returned against them, and also
to appear in the case of an alleged
accomplice named Byrd, who, how
ever, was not ready to stand trial,
and the cases of all were continued
for the term. The BLACKWELL will
again face trial for murder in con-
nec+ion with Byrd, who, it is under
stood, was ready to enter a plea Of
guilty last week
The brothers have appealed their
respective cases, and it is thought
their cases will be reached in the
supreme court within the next week
or two. In the meantime they will
be kept al the Escambia county jail
For the past few days, it is said,
they have been kept in Jail at De-
Funiak, the officials from Okaloosa
county not having a safe jail in the
new county as yet to keep them. They
were returned here at the first op
portunity.

PRACTICAL PATRIOTISM

The city authorities are making prepara-
tons for placing Pensacola in a sanitary
condition. in order that, at the opening of
spring. the burden of sanitation and city
cleaning may not be so onerOuS. There
are a number Of unsightly and unsanitary
places about the city which need attention,
though, on the whole Pensacola compares
most favOrably with other cities of the
country, along these lines.
While the city is in the throes of clean
ing, it would be well for individuals, as
we'll to turn tkcir attention tC their SUI
.roundings, making sure that they are SAM
tary, and taking steps to insure their re-
manning So
At this time when the heart of the ma
ton is beating high with hope and pride
and giving itself unselfshly i'll sacrifice and
service, there is danger that we forget the
common, ordinary duties which lie at Our
doors-duties which knock insistenty,, at
all times and under all circumstances,
There has never been a time in the his
tory of this country when the need of
- cleanliness and sanitation was so impera-
tive, and there has never been d time when
these were difficult to arrive at. Labor
j. scarce, in the public service, and in the
shomc and the only way in which the de
sired results may be obtained is by each
one doing Just a little more than has ever
been done before. in order to protect the
bone and the municipality from dirt and
disease.
War work does not all lie outside the
round OF our daily duties. One Of the
highest officials in the employ of the gov
eminent has said that the most valuable
and most practical way in which anyone
may help 10 win the war is by doing we'll
and faithfully the duty that lies nearest
at hand. One of the duties which lie very
near lis, and the doing of which will mean
much for the protection Of our families and
the municipality. is in making cleanly the
premises, that they may offer no induce
mcnt to foster disease.
The sanitation of cities is not to be the
least of the problems which we are to face
at this time
Every municipality in the United States
needs the cooperation of its citizens in
keeping the city clean, and each one can
show his patriotism by making sanitary
his own premises, and keeping them clean.

CAMP PIKE CAN ACCOM- MODATE ALL WOUNDED
 RETURNING SOLDIERS.

Little Rock, Dec. A. As neither the e7th nor the 39th Divisions saw service in the front line trenches the number of wounded men to be sent to Camp Pike and Fort Roots hos pitals will be relatively small, under plans of the War Department an nounced Monday from Washington. Since only wounded and convalescent soldiers living within a 300-mile ra- dius of the camp will be sent, no en- largement of the hospital facilities will be necessary. Colonel Jeune- man, commanding the general hos pital at Fort Roots, said that the fort has accommodations for. from 500 to 1000 patients, and that heat ing systems could be installed in the old officers training camp barracks sufficient to accommodate 2,000 pa- tients in all. Recent additions have been made to the Camp Pike base hospital, and an equal number of pa tients easily could be accommodate ed there. The hospital commanders have been notified that the contin- gents of wounded men will be sent, but no official message regarding the date of arrival has been received.

 CHRISTIANITY AND

As it is the purpose and desire of the Chamber of Commerce to effect a civic reform in the city of Newport, it behooyes us to consider some pre- reur,isites to civic developments. All history bears record of the fact that where Christianity has fail ed to tread, Civilization has not rushed in.
 The motto of the day is COOPER ALTON, but History again teaches us that where Christianity was not found the motto was COMPETITION. Napoleon gave to the world the doc t1sne of Competition, at the same lime it is significant that no Red Cross followed Napoleon, because there was no Christianity
 Then it is wisdom for us to note that Christianity does not only de- termine our future citizenhip, but the present. l am sure there are very few men, if any, in the city of New port who would live and bring their families up in town where there

The government is making a record of all persons who purchase War Savings Stamps and the reasons glv- en if the stamps are cashed before their maturity. These lists finally will be filed with the county clerk in each county to establish permanent record of each individuals part in the war work. Every citizen will be known not only by the extent of his investment, but by the duration of his loan. This fact probably is not known by persons who unthinkingly cash their stamps before payment from the government is due. Uncle Sam spends the money as soon as It is received. When he is called upon

SISTERS MARRY DAY
 BEFORE THANKSGIVING.

A marriage at the court house in this city the day before Thanksgiving was that of Misses Emma and Nellie Lewis of Village. township, who are among the popular and progressive young teachers of Jackson county. Miss Nellie Lewis was married to MT. Dilley Butler, one of the coun- tvs progressive young farmers, who has been in this section for some time. After the ceremony MT. and Mrs. Butler left for Oklahoma City to visit the brides sister, Mrs. R. E. Riser.
 The other marriage was Miss Emma E. Lewis to MT. Willie Rodg- CTS of Moss Point, Miss. These two young people were married also in the county clerks office on Thanks giving eve. MT. Rodgers formerly lived here but has been in army ser vice for several months. His bride was as patriotic as her husband and in her school work did much for her country. She was very popular with her pupils and will be greatly missed by them. They too, left for Okla homa City, where the four will enjoy a visit with their sister and at the conclusion of the visit MT. and Mrs. Rodgers will go to his home at Moss Point, Miss, to live.

SMALLEST VOTE CAST IN
 HISTORY OF STATE

Little Rock, Dec. 4s-The vote cast in the regular biennial election on Nov. 5 last was the smallest in the history of the state, at least for sev eral generations
 The highest vote cast was 78,726 for J. L. Bond as Superintendent of Public Instruction In 1910 there was a total of 15O,578 votes cast for Gov ernor, or almost twice as many as cast this year.
 The counties of Washington, Lo- noke, Benton and Crawford cast more votes in the recent election than Pull aski county, and there is large number of counties that are almost equal to it.
 This small vote will have the eff feet of greatly reducing the number of Justices of the Peace all over the state in the 1920 election, and will cause the State Committee to greatly reduce the ratio for delegates to the state convention in order to keep it up to usual size.
