The proceedings were devoid of the expected sensational disclosures. It was developed, however, that instead of the payrolls showing up for 104 working days during the last half of September as made by the' eight employes, a total of 122 days were paid for. This means that, instead of eight employees, working thirteen days in the latter half of the month.the payroll showed up for 18 days over. In explanation of this, Mr.

The funeral will take place at 2:30 'clock 'this afternoon from the residence of Of. R. Bryans, at 928 East Gadsden street, the Rev. Mr. Brown, of Christ church, to officials.
The interment will be made at St. John's cemetery both of the autos were yet standing near the scene of the crash, one on Guillemarde street and the other on Gadsden. Mr. Daniel, accompanied by a friend, was driving his car west on Gadsden street and had crossed Tarragona street in safety. The steep hill between Guillemarde and Palafox streets was to be climbed, and he gave his car a little headway to get up the hill in good shape.
The negro in charge of the other car told inquirers that he was delivering many articles which he Ranted to have at their several points before d'nner, and he was said to have been moving just a trifle faster than safety would suggest, especially on such a sharp crossing. They were both sounding their alarm signals when the crossing was approached, but neither was able to see the other on account of a store on the corner. That was mainly the reason for the crash. Officer Chestnut and. Hall were hurried to the scene, and the cases will be disposed of in the city court today.

RAINES But as large as the amount is it is much smaller than it should be, both in comparison with the movement in former years and in comparison with the total production in Alabama, from which stats the major part of our export cotton is drawn. By referring to the above figures it will be noted that our movement of cotton in 1015 was only 82,061 bales 44,000 bales or 35 per cent less than in 1914. Measured in terms of dollars the movement of 1915 brought to the city $88,000.00 less than that of 1913 and $157,316.00 less than that of 1914. As the larger part of this heavy loss fell on the wage earners of the City, is it any wonder that we have heard the cry of "hard times" from, the merchant and 'Hack of work" from the wage earners? To illustrate further: During the past two years the production in Alabama has increased and the export movement through Mobile, has increased and -the export movement through Mobile has increased, white the movement through Pensacola has decreased. The Alabama crop in 1918 amounted to 1,483,669 of whicn 18 per cent was exported through Mobile and Pensacola.
Of the total amount exported, Pensacola handled eight per cent and Mobile nine per cent, or about half to each port, 1914 crop in Alabama amounted to 1,731,751 bales. Of this 30.8 per cent was exported through both ports, and while Mobile got 21.8 per cent of the movement, Pensacola only received 9.5 per cent of it, or 2 1-4 bales the department, were then sworn, and all but the street foreman himself were excluded from the room.

He recalled that -one man had been sick more than ten days, was the time limit for anyone to be car-Vied on the payroll, and that, bringing the matter before the commissioners, he said, he had been ordered to carry him longer.
He said that there had never been instructions to the contrary given him, when asked the direct question by Commissioner Johnson. Mr. Jones said that he wanted to stand and make his state-men so that the public would know what he had to say. He frequently referred to Commissioner Johnson as "Boss," especially in addressing that officer personally and directly, Phone S37 122.124 S. Palafox.

All these questions were SAVE 50 CENTS The only conclusion to be drawn from an examination of these statistics is that some other port is taking away Pensacola's share of Alabama's export cotton, and with it the $2 per bale that goes to labor at the port of transhipment. This is a situation that should not be allowed to exist, aiid must not be allowed to continue. Last year the Chamber of Commerce, noting the trend of events, sent its secretary with a representative of the cotton interests of Pensacola and a representative of the F. A.
railroad into the cotton producing territory opened up by the F. A4 to try to secure a part of the business from that territory, all of which had formerly gone to Mobile. As the result of that trip and the strong; subsequent efforts made by the cotton factors, more cotton was handled into Pensacola by the F. A. railroad in September, 1915, than the: entire year of 1914.
However, solicitation is not the solution of the of how to get more cotton through Pen-sacolt, tnd it is somewhat uncertain just what the proper solution lis, but one thing is certain and that is that by making these cotton loans you are removing one of the most annoying A Good FOUNTAIN SYRINGE pe-- Uvered Anywhere fee 75c.

He said, however, that he had never questioned a man's claim of being sick, but had taken the man's word for it. A number of employes were then called and eamined. Clyde Roach said that he had worked ten days and on the eleventh when he showed up sick, he was sent back home. He was too ill to work for the next three days. He was not "docked" for the lost time.
Tom Mullen, a regular driver, said he 'had worked ten days. This witness said he had been hearing a lot of rumors, but that none of them weretrue, and that he- had never made; a dishonest dollar in his life, and would not come to lie" about it to anybody. John Birthright said that he had lost four days out of the last half of the month of September. He said he had always signed the payroll hinfself and had always endorsed his own check.
