KTectlcra day tomorrow will be of
little Interest In this county,
and many who read this announcement
this morning will have It recalled to
them that the regular election does oc
cur tomorrow, a fact which had evl
denUy been allowed to escape them.
In Escambia county ballot boxes
were prepared some days ago and at
every precinct will be ready for ser
vice tomorrow morning: at 8 o'clock.
Of course there are no changes to. oc
cur in this part of the state, a Demo
cratic primary nominee being virtual
ly elected once he receives a majority,
certifying to his nomination.
In the city the ballot boxes will he
delivered to the eleven precincts early
tomorrow, but a light vote is antici
pated. Friends of office seekers wao
ETo Into the election without primary
opposition are working to bring out
b. good majority for their candidates,
and a very little amount work in this
regard even is being done! About
the only interest manifest here is in
the proposed constitutional amend
ments, which are to be voted for. and
which are to be part of the ticket.
There are three of them, and in short
their title and respective provisions
are as follows:
A Joint resolution proposing an
amendment to section six (6) of article
eight 8T. of the constitution of the
state of Florida, relating to cTmnFy of
ficers. A Joint resolution proposing an
amendment to section IS of article IV
of the constitution of the state of
Florida, relating to the appointment
of commissioned officers of the state
militia.
A Joint resolution proposing an
amendment to section one of article
V of the constitution relating to the
Judiciary. This proposition is partly
local In nature, the first paragraph
of which reads as follows:
"Section 1. The Judicial power of
the state shall be vested in a supreme
court, circuit courts, court of record
of Escambia county, criminal courts,
county courts, county Judges and Jus
tlces of the peace and such other
courts or commissions as the leglala
ture may from time to time ordain
and establish. The legislature may
prescribe the compensation of the
Justices and Judges of the several
courts but no court heretofore estab
lished under the constitution and laws
of Florida shall be hereby abolished."

St, Louis, Nov. 1. (Special).-Army
officers of the English, French ind
Russian governments, who have been
In St. Louis for several weeks "buying
large quantities of war supplies, have
been given an order to buy 20,000 ad
ditional head of horses and mules n
Missouri and Southern Illinois, accord
ing to reports current in business cir
cles today.
A uniform price of $370 is being paid
for each horse meeting the require
ments for army purposes. The order
will mean the distribution of $5,400,
000 of money from St. Louis.
Four representatives of the French
Government, working under instruc
tions from St. Louis, are inspecting
nearly 1000 horses that have been sent
to Springfield.
The French Government has also
bought nearly 100,000 barrels of flour,
and great quantities of other provis
ions for the army In St. Louis. Or
ders also have been placed with local
shoe factories for many thousands of
pairs of shoes for army purposes.
The army officers representing the
allies have enjoined secrecy upon the
merchants, manufacturers and Jobbers
from whom they have made purchases.
They do not wish it to become known
that supplies are being shipped from
this country to Europe, fearing that
this Information might get to-Germany,
and an effort be made to capture or
destroy the ships conveying the sup
plies.
Representatives of the German Gov
ernment also are said to have visited
St. Louis recently to try to purchase
horses. It was reported in business cir
cles that the Germans were willing to
pay $600 each for horses, but the In
ability of Germany to insure afe
tran - ortation for army equipment
from the United States prevented any
purchases from, being made In St.
Louis.

FOUND BODY OF
DROWNED I
II THE WATER
DAN GttANT, WHO WAS MISSING
SINCE LAST FRIDAY, WAS AC
COUNTED FOR WHEN HIS RE
MAINS WERE FOUND.
cm
Trie Pun; Tood Store ji
Dan Grant, white, atout 35 years of
age, who had been missing since last
Friday, was accounted for yesterday
afternoon at 4 o'clock when his life
less body was found floating in the
bay, near Perdido wharf. .The body
was not decomposed and it gave the
Idea that he had been. in the water
for a comparatively short time.
The body was found by John Mon'.ep.
who, with his family, was in a skiff,
fishing in the western part of the bay.
They were near the stern of the
launch Genevieve at the time, and the
body was floating a few feet away.
Immediately a rope was passed around
the lifeless body and, towed by the
launch named, was slowly hauled
over to Baylen wharf, where It was
secured and where It was later viewed
by the coroner, who was telephoned
for. No Inquest was necessary, as
there appeared to be no marks of vio
lence anywhere, and the remains, un
less cared for by sympathizing people,
may fill a grave set apart for the de
pendent ones.
Grant was originally from Glouces
ter, but recently came to Pensacola
aboard the smack Lottie HasKlns
from Tampa. He had no relatives
here, and fishermen stated yesterday
that he was not a member of their
association, although he had made a
trip to the snapper banks In the recent
past.
Sam Lynch, a fisherman, was about
the last man who remembers having
seen" Grant alive. Lynch said yester
day that Grant was uptown when he
saw him at a late hour Friday night.
That was evidently, the night he mot
his death, for he wore the same
clothing In which he was attired Fri
day, and in his pockets carried copies
of newspapers dated Friday. It 13
believed that he had procured a supi:Ty
of reading matter and was In the
act of boarding some smack to re
main for the night, when he fell into
the water. Alone, and probably
late at night, his cries, if he made
any, went unheard, and he drowned.
When found he was floating- 'Tace
downward.
Announcement of the discovery cf
a dead body caused scores to flock
to Baylen wharf in a short while, and
inside of an hour the street leading
to the wharf was filled with people.
The body was tied with a rope and
secured on the starboard side of "a
fishing smack, moored at the wharf
named, and before . the undertaker
was authorized to remove the same,
hundreds had gazed upon It.
Prefixing an Interesting sermon at
Knox Presbyterian church yesterday
morning on the subject of "Secret
Sin", Rev. Charles Dickinson, who was
filling the pulpit at that church by
urgent request, took occasion to re
mind the voting portion of the con
gregation that Tuesday was election
day, and he urged all not to forget
to go to the polls and exercise the
privilege granted to all good Ameri
cana, and at the same time to vote
carefully and prayerfully. Rev. Mr.
Dickinson was especially earnest in
his reminder to the congregation that
voting should not be negl-ed, and
that some thought should be given the
question of casting a ballot.
"Be Sure Your Sin Will Find You
Out" was the theme from which a
very Interesting discourse was deliv
ered, and In the course of the ser
mon occasion was also taken to re
mind those of his hearers who were
voters now, and those who would vote i
after a while, to take the question of 1
casting a ballot seriously and prav
erfully, and said that If more of this
kind was done, there would be much
less fraud and dishonesty In elec
tions. He pictured little sins as the
snowflake small and harmless alone,
but when plentiful as the snow fall
would proceed, the tiny flake3 would
make the avalanche, and whole vil
lages were burled and destroyed.
Rev. Mr. Dickinson preached at the
East Hill Baptist church last evening.
REDUCTION IN FORCE -TO CARE
TAKING DETACHMENTS
SHORTAGE IN MEN NECESSI
TATES MOVE.
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 1. The
coast artillery garrisons at Key West
and Tampa are likely to be virtually
wiped off the map soon, according to
Gen. Erastus W. Weaver, chief of the
coast artillery, who says In his annual
report:
"In order to provide for our primary
home defenses there are required 662
officers and 16,251 enlisted men.
There are now provided about one-
fourth of the officers and one-half cf
the enlisted men necessary for this
purpose. Unless provision be made in
the near future for additional coast
artillery personnel, it will be necessary
to reduce the garrisons to mere care
taker detachments at some of the de
fenses of lesser Importance, including
Portsmouth, Delaware Charleston, Sa
vannah, Key West, Bedford, Potomac,
Tampa, Columbia, Baltimore, Cape
Fear and Mobile.
"It is therefore recommended that
the seacoast States be urged anew to
provide their due proportion of mlltia
coast artillery troops, special efforts
being made with respect to those at
present providing none. All of these
contain cities and posses Interests o
which existing coast defenses are of
importance. In this connection it
ehould be stated that Maryland; Vir
ginia, South Carolina, Florida, Ala
bama, Louisiana and Taxes have here
tofore had coast artillery companies,
but for some reason or. another have
disbanded them."

HEART AND
HOME PROBLEMS
By Elizabeth Thompson.
Dear Mrs. Thompson- I am giv
ing a party for my daughter "-She
is too young to so out evenings with
the boys and most of the mothers
whose children are invited feel as
do about the boy question. What
can I do about getting the girls home
safely, or is It not my business to
arrange this? E. T,
as hostess it is your duty to see
that every girl has some company
home. If two girls live in the same
neighborhood they can go together.
If possible, find out just what ar
rangement will have to be made
about the matter early In the ev
ening, it any gins are living at a
distance from the others, proeak to
some of the boy before time to
leave and ask if you may depend on
them to see a certain girl home, then
tell the girl that will be
her escort. That removes all em
barrassment, and there Is no room
for silliness. It is viewed In purely
a business light. -
Dar Mrs. Thompson: 1) What
Joes it mean if a boy takes his cap
off and waves it to a girl?
(2) There is a boy I know and
like. What can I do to make him
take me out? I am a girl of eigh
teen and the boy is twenty-one. Is j
he too old -for me?
(3) I am In love with a boy three
years older than myself. He told
someone he liked me. How can I
know he likes me?
BROKENHEARTED LASSIE.
(1) It means a Jolly 'soy is giving
a friendly greeting, nothing more.
(2) Absolutely nothing, except
keep his respect by being a perfect
lady. You would lose his respect by
"doing things" to make him take
you out.
(3) If he likes you and you do not
forfeit his respect he will seek you
out In time. He is not too old.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I was en
tertained at a country home ,lasl
week for a couple of dayB. Is it the
thing to write and thank the people
for the kin.lness? Of course a party
call is out of the question, as It Is so
far away. T. A. T.
Every guest should write to the
hostess who has entertained her
within a few days after her return
home. Nothing can make the neglect
of this courtesy excusable.
Tell of your Journey home, etc.,
and make special mention of the
kindness shown you and speak of
your aprreciatlon of it and the. hope
you have of reciprocating the kind
ness.
