The Annual Statement and the Levy

We lay before our readers this week the
annual statement of the C unity expenses,
as published by the commissioners. Ii
will be seen that, Notwithstanding all that
has been said to the contrary, the itemized
statement covers much less than one page
of the TINES.
We have not had time to Civ the state
ment Careful examination, but as tar as
we have been able to observe, it seems to
he a pretty substantial compliance with
the spirit of the law, though it lacks con-
siderably of the completeness of some OF
the statements published in the other
counties of the State. In many OF the
counties an itemized statement of the ex-
penditures of the trustees of the poor is
made with the number and names OF the
outpensioners and other wards of the coun-
ty. The per diem of the county commits
sioners is also published in one place and
the number Of days service for which COM
pensation is given is distinctly stated
That indefinite expression taking care Of
pauper," which occurs so frequently among
our contingent expenses, is not found In
the statements of other counties; as the
whole Of that business seems in those coun-
ties to be relegated to the trustees of the
poor. which seems to be the proper author
ity in contemplation of law. Instead, too
of having the term "bond interest scat
tered about among the contingent expen
ses, the other counties state it 10y giving a
certain rate of interest on a certain amount
of debt, all in one place, with the person:
to whom paid.
We do not think, however. from the ex
amamination we have given it, that thu
statement is open to any serious objection
and for first effort to conform to thu
law, after years of laxness in that regard
we believe the commissioners have dis
charged the duy fairly well.
The statement as published will at leas
give the people the data upon which t
make inquiry into the conduct of their al
fairs, which was not by any means afford
ed by the statements as formerly published
1t is custom in many OF the counties 10
the grand jury at every fall term OF tn
court to examine the vouchers correspond
ing to the items of expense published b
the commissioners in their Statement
/ This is an exec lent and salutary custor
and we think should be adopted in TIL
! county.
1t will be seen ihat he agitation OF thi
/ mater of correctly publishing the count
] statement as required by law has alread
t borne very good fruit. The insane pauoe
fund, which for a number of years ha
been kept up to a stereotyped $4,000,
brought down to S130D; while the jur
fund, which had previously been kept u
to the maximum allowed by law of $500
per annum, is this year brought down
81 800 Thus has there been an annu'
saving brought about In these two fund
alone Of $1,000, which with other decide
savings in other quarters, should have r.
duced the tax "a to So cents.

The CoIored odd Fellows.

The colored Odd Fellows of Palatka
laid the corner stone of their new build
ing they are to build in New Town. The
colored lodge of Jacksonville were in
vited to be present and assist in the cere-
monies, and quite a number of these ex-
curted here for that purpose yesterday
on the 1920 train, where they were met
by the PaIatlla brass band and marched
in body to the hall of the lodge here,
and thence to the skating rink hall, where
sumptuous banquet had been pre-
pared for them. They paraded the
streets, led by the band, until driven off
by the heavy rain that commenced to
fall early in the afternoon. Two balls
were given ia honor of the visitors by
the local colored Odd Fellows last night.

4 Nomination.

GAINESVILLE, May 26, 1884.
EDITOR PALATKA NEWS:
1t is no longer a question; Bisbee is by
all odds the strongest man in the coming
Republican Congressional Convention,
and with the power of Federal patronage
at his back, will secure the nomination
in spite of the opposition of the great
mass of his party.
1t therefore behooves all good people,
who are opposed to the machine methods
in politics, to cast about them for a can
didate who can rally to his support such
strength as will forever bury Bisbee
and his aspirations far out of sight.
We must bear in mind that this is no
off. year, full vote will be polled it will
be no walk over for the Democracy.
To overcome Bisbee's majority of two
years ago great care should be taken to
secure a candidate who possesses all the
elements of success.
There is one whose name has been
mentioned in connection with the nom
nation; should he be chosen as our lead
er, victory is as sure to follow as the
coming of the November election.
The name of E. c.. F. Sanchez will set
old Alachua ablaze from its centre to its
utmost confines. With him, Bsbee
would be throttled in one of his strong
holds, disaster would be turned to victory
and our success would be overwhelm-
ing.
Darlington Sanchez is a tower OF
strength, and a man more devoted
to the material interests of our PEG.
pie can not be found within the Dor
ders of our great and growing State. He
is sound on all questions involving
the interests of all sections of our
district; he is live, progressive and
indefatigable; he is honest, self-made.
and best of all he is a man Of sterling in
| tegrity, worth, and a brilliant lawyer
worthy of the confidence and support OF
a great and good people. Yours truly,

Fruit and Cold.

We We're presented on yesterday with
some fine lemons and lines by Major
Burton, of Crescent City, in this county.
Last winter was unusually severe, and
at one time fears were felt that the or
ange crop was damaged. But lines and
lemons are much more liable to injury
from cold than oranges, and these are
juicy and perfectly sound after hanging
on the trees during the whole winter
During Christmas we saw large lemon
tree in full bloom at the same grove from
which these trees were taken-viz, that
of Messrs. Burton & Harrison.

of the hailstones were large as partridge

The above is only a specimen of the
letters we receive continually, showing
that the interest in Florida is undated,
and that the annual crowd of visitors
will be increased each year by individu-
ais to whom the State andits advan tages
are as yet known only by report. To
such we say that Putnam county pro-
duces more oranges than any other in
the State; that here can be found all the
advantages of Florida with very few of
the necessary discomforts of new State
in a warm climate. Our railroads are
now in active operation to all points
North of us so that freight in bulk is re-
ceived by our merchants unbroken from
St Louis and Cincinnati, and our pro-
ducts, both delicate fruits and tender veg
etabIes, are shipped in the same way at
slight cost to Northern markets. From
Palatka, the convenience of water trans
portation to New York and Boston will
always ensure cheap freight, and the
constant increase of facilities show the
immense annual increase in our products.
