THROUGH PULLMAN SERVICE


| Mayor McCord Of Tallahassee, chairman Of the
! transportation committee Of the Chamber Of
Commerce Of the capital city, is working for .
through Pullman train service between Jackson
vile and New Orleans, service to be begun not
later than October, 1919.
Mayor McCord and his committee are enlist
ing the cooperation Of the commercial bodies Of
| Jacksonville, Pensacola, Lake City, Mobile, New
Orleans and Live-Oak and. also the. support Of
the United States railway administration.
For years there has been an urgent demand
for a through Pullman service between Jack
sonville and New Orleans, and the state Of FIori-
da as whole, and the western part Of the state
in particular has suffered through apparent dis
elimination in favor of other sections.
At the time Of the entrance of the United
States into the world war an effort was being
made to have such through train service in
stalled but these plans mad to be set aside until
the war closed. At that time the Seaboard Air
Line, one Of the only two lines Of railway be-
tween Jacksonville and New Orleans, signified
its willingness to install such trains and deliver
and take them from the Louisville and Nashville
railroad at any time that that road agreed to
reciprocate. f.
For years passenger traffic over the Jackson
vile and New Orleans route has been heavier than
that Of any other lines Of railroad entering Jack
sonvile, from either north or west, and that it
would be to the advantage of the railroads is
apparent as travel would be much heavier if
comfortable Pullman facilities with a fast sched-
ule, were provided.
The Pensacola Chamber Of Commerce win no
doubt give the movement its endorsement and
active support, for such q service would mean
much for this section, in increasing travel par
ticularly during the winter season, and would
add much to the comfort Of the general public

PENsACOLA's GOOD FRIEND.

The announcement that Col. John L. Hughes,
commanding officer at Fort Barrancas, is to be
assigned to another post will be received in PEN
sacola and West Florida with the keenest regret.
Colonel Hughes, who is one of the ablest Off
GERS in the United States army, during his COM
mand of the post has not only served his coun-
try with marked distinction, but has given to
every legitimate movement for civic betterment,
his most loyal support.
During the world war Colonel Hughes not only
was in command of the United States forces at
the garrison, but had in training there several
contingents from Cuba, who were trained in the
tactics of the United States army under his COM
mand.
Genial, strong in body and brain, the truest
and staunchest type of American officer, he will
leave Pensacola with the most cordial good
wishes of the entire population of this section
which he has ever aided in its upbuilding.
Col. Paul B. Reeder, c. A. c., u. S. A., who has
been assigned to duty at Fort Barrancas, is well
qualified to command the garrison, and is an
officer of distinction.

In view of the figures given recently by bank
