A LETTER FROM MIR. BISHOP.
The Political Field Viewed Through
Florida Glasses.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 12. 1884.
Editor PALATKA NEWS.
My opportunities for studying the sit
uation have been very good, during the
last week, and my hope Of Democratic
triumph has been gaining strength from
day to day. You are aware Of the Re
publican revolt provoked by the nominal
ton of Blaine. He is regarded as the
representative of the worst element of his
party, and as sure, if elected, to perpetu-
ate its worst methods. While the unthink-
ing crowd, fascinated by his brilliancy
and dash, and by his habit of pandering
TO vulgar animosities, will make this a
very noisy campaign, the republicans,
who care more for decent government
than for partisan success, are hoping to
see the Democrats put forward a candi-
date whose record is unsmirched, and re-
solving, in that event, to subject their
party to the purifying fires of defeat.
The most agreeable feature Of the
present situation is found in the fact
that party expediencynow comedies per

FRANCIS, FLA, June II. 1894.
Editor PALATKA NEWS.
AS your readers derive much pleasure
and benefit from reading the news from
different points in the county, and
knowing that Il great many eyes are in
tently watching Francis and interested
in its prosperity, we will note few of the
leading events as they occur. And first,
would say that our new saw-mill blew its
first whistle and sawed its fi1st board in
Francis to-day. 1t is now ready for bu-
sineSs, and we predict for them a lively
trade as their enterprise, correct business
habits, and sociabiIity will draw it.
There is a scene of continual activity
about the mill, getting in logs, and soon
it will be getting away lumber.
A building boom" is on the pro-
gramme for the near future.
Our enterprising young groceryman,
Hamp. Martin, has settled another resi-
dent in town. He is not going to be be
hind in any great enterprise looking to-
wards the peOpling of Francis, even if
he does have to get ''bottle of soothing
syrup occasionally.
Judge Roberts has shipped a carload
of melons North and, doubtless, will re-
alize handsomely on it.
A Fourth of July celebration is talked
of to be held on one Of our beautiful
lakes, and, as all seem to be Of one mind
it VIII certainly take place.
Our frequent showers are bringing for
ward the crops with wonderful rapidity.
We notice some very fine pieces of corn in
the neighbOrhood.
The health of this community is good,
but it is no new thing out here on these
high pine hills, seventy feet above the
waters of the st. Johns, where the cool,
bracing ocean breezes come to us through
the pines, freighted with their odors and
the scent of flowers. Yes, tell it to the
world that Florida is all right-especially

.'HOnCSt John :"

In our article yesterday morning I'M
der the above head, Mr.. Mangold says
that we quoted him wrong in one or two
instances, but in the main the article
is correct, He says that the report was
common and charges made that Logan
had attempted to enlist soldiers for the
Confederacy, but that he never believed
them, and that he has known Logan
since 1917, instead of 1887, as printed.
Mr.. Mangold says he is an independent
in politics, and has not yet taken a stand
as to who he will vote for, as his action
will depend altogether upon who the
democrats nominate next month. He
says he will vote for the man whom he
believes to he most capable and honest.

Mr.. Lyle and Taxation.
SAN MATEO, June -, 1884
Editor PALATKA NEWS:

DAN AA1EO, June II, 1904,
Editor PALATKA NEWS:
Last year our county commissioner
Marshall after one of his peculiar search
es of the records, discovered a wonderful
mares next, to wit:-that G w. LYLE
owned hundreds of acres of land once
taxed in Putnam county and now not
returned for taxes to our assessor. Ny
explanation to the SBoard of Commits
sioners was that the land referred to is
now part of Clay county, and is taxed
there. And now after sitting eight
months longer, our commissioner has
dropped two more little eggs in the same
old nest, and with much Cackling, invites
the attention of your readers to the result
of his labOrs: list That certain % acre
tract decided to me is not taxed in my
name. Answer: This tract is returned
and fully taxed in the name of my agent,
j. p. c., and as Mr. Marshall has been
positively assured by the assessor that
the property was fully taxed, his insinua-
ton that l have defrauded the revenue
in that matter is characteristic of the
man.
2. The charge that have returned a
"a acre tract and acre lot in all for 25
acres, is foolish falsehood. My return
for these two lots is $50 acres. q part of
the Virgins grant, and in justice to our
tax assessor I will say the return is cor
rectly entered in the tax book on file at
the court house.
One other point. H. R. Lyle pays tax
es on real estate in this county to the ex-
tent of about $50 per annum. He is also
entered on the tax book for pou tax.
But not being a philantlropist, he viii
hardly care to restrain Mr.. Marshall in
his harmless antics before the public.

What is the CIabber Club ?

An esteemed lady reader of THE NEWS
writes all the way from Virginia to ask
What is the CIabber Club" Dear ma
dame, the Clabber Club is an institution
Of Palatka, and numbers among its
members some of our most prominent
people. 1t is a purely social organiza-
ton, where the members meet and dis
cuss social and political questions of the
day, while gathered around tureen Of
clabber with spoon in hand. The organ
ization is something after the order of
the famous "Pickwick Club" the genial
and clever president, Judge Vertrees, re
presenting Mr.. Pickwick, and Governor
Towns, of Georgia, taking the place of
Samuel Weller, only he will not beware
of vidde"s." Many is the pointed joke
and ringing laugh that is heard at this
clubs meeting. The Clabber Club editor
Of THE News is now up the river doubt

the members at the next meeting, which
will be sufficient apology for not going
