Just planned for you from the Eden

Maybe youil see--but follow, follow.

NEGRO Is VICTIM
OF MILL ACCIDENT
Sam keny Had Arm Torn Off When
Hand Is Caught in Belt.

Sam Keny, a negro employed at the
newly erected Weis- Patterson mill
across Little Bayou was the unfor-
tunate victim of a serious and perma-
nent injury yesterday morning while
assisting another workman in putting
belt on a pulley. It seems that the
belt had been thrown off the pulley
on the main line shaft and Keny, who
is employed as cleanup man, was
called to help another workman put
it on.
He was holding the belt on the big
pulley, hut when it frightened his hand
got caught in the belt, and with the
line shaft travelling at the rate of about
$50 revolutions per minute, his arm
was completely torn from his body at
the shoulder. He was hurried to the
Pensacola hospital where he received
immediate medical attention, but be-
ing weak from the loss of blood, it was
not thought safe to administer anes-
thetics so that the wound might be
properly dressed. The wound was
temporarily treated to check the flow
of blood, and this morning will be
dressed.

ding to be scheduled for ten o'clock,
other business of the meet
ing which opens at nine o'clock.
This is the second time these bonds
have been placed on sale, the County
Commissioners having refused to ac-
cept any Of the bids made last month,
owing to the fact that in every case
where the bids were at par, there was
some kind of string to the proposition.
The County Commissioners feel con-
fident that the bonds will be sold at
par, or better this morning, and the
public will be welcomed at the meet
ing, the County Commissioners having
asked that all persons interested at
tend, in order that they may be fully
as to the placing of the bids.

PLAN ROAD MAPS
FOR THE COUNTY
Association in the City to Confer
with Chamber of Commerce.

Representing the Dixie Automobile
association, w. G. PEBBLES. Jr., ar
rived in Pensacola yesterday morning
and will confer with the Pensacola
Chamber of Commerce today in regard
TO plans which may possibly be
worked out in connection with road
maps and publicity for Escambia
county.
Mr.. PEBBLES stated that he had found
the roads from Atlanta to Pensacola
fairly good, but that the Flomaton
road was bad in some places, being
very rutty and greatly in need of re-
pair.
Mr.. PEBBLES said that he had logged
the road the entire way, the route
having been made via Montgomery
along what is known as the Forest
highway in Alabama This stretch of
roadway, said Mr.. PEBBLES, will be
among the first sections to be paved
when the Alabama bond issue is vail
dated, which will probably be some
time in January.
Mr.. PEBBLES was much interested
when he was told that Escambia coun-
ty has just voted a 100000 bond
issue, and that bids were to be made
on the first million today at the county
court house.
THE Dixie Automobile association
has the endorsement of the A. A. A. of
Washington and associations all over
the country" said Mr., PEBBLES, and
all along the route / received the
greatest encouragement and coopera-
ton in the plans which we have
mapped out, and Which contemplate a
complete guide for tourists.
THE Dixie Automobile association
has just one object, and that is to
cover Dixie in such a way that every
road will be placed on the map and
that all possible information may be
secured for the tourists who are COM
ing into the south each year in in
creasing numbers.
THE association is operated without
any mercenary motive whatever, and
the publicity which accrues to the
cities which are placed on the road
maps published by the association is
more than compensation for the very
small returns that are asked"
Mr.. PEBBLES visited the tourist camp
at Bayview yesterday afternoon and
was much pleased with~the arrange
ment there and the beauty of location.
