PALATKA, FLA, APRIL 5, 1884.

Every state exchange that reaches
our office brings gratifying news of
Florida's increasing prosperity. We
rejoice that it is so, and are especially
pleased to note that this advance IS
general throughout the state. There
need be no cause for local jealousies,
for each community will in the end
prosper according to its deserts.
We again advise our people to look
about them, study well the capabil-
tiles Of their separate neighborhoods,
and give practical evidence to the
world that manufactures in Florida,
inteIligently conducted, will pay
the investor and bless the state.

The Philadelphia Times.
4 $50.


IHE PHILADELPHIA TIMES, 1884.
THE TIMES will enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever be-
fore in its hiStOTy-mOre widely read and
quoted, more heartily commended, and more
tiercely criticized, with a more complete or
ganiZatiOn, and an able SSOtf of contributors
and with the same independence and fearless
ness that has made it successful and powerful
in the past.
THE TIMES has no party to follow, no candi-
dates to advance, but will meet every issue, as
it has ever done, with consistent devotion to
the right, to honest government, and the pub
lie welfare. And while maintaining its posi-
ton as the leading journal of Philadelphia, il
will aim to be continually in the advance in all
that can add value to a newspaper
The value of a newspaper is not in its size or
display, but in the intelligence and care, the
conciseness and freshness with which it is
edited. THE TIMES spends layishly for news
from all parts of the world. but all its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed, in
order to give the complete news of the day in
the most concise and attractive shape, and with
it a large variety of entertaining and instruc-
tive reading. The best writers at home and
abroad are employed to enrich its columns,
and TO make it a journal adapted both to the
busy man and to the leisure of the home cir
Gle, welcome visitor to intelligent and honest
citizens OF every political, religious and social
taste.
THE WEEKLY TIMES is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers OF twenty years
ago. The day of those papers have gone by.
The telegraph and better local newspapers
everywhere, especially in the thriving centres
of rural population, have made the old weekly
metropolitan newspaper unsatisfying. Those
that cling to their ancient usages have lost
their hold on our forward-moving people; they
are but shadows of their former greatness, and
they have but a shadow of their former power
Those papers have had their usefulness, but it
is gone; and, with it, they are going. too 1t
was not the fault of the papers: it was the i'm
proyement of the country that brought about
the change. Men and women, wherever they
live, now require fresher news; and they re-
uuire more than news.
THE WEEKLY TIMES gathers OF the types of
every passing week whatever has lasting in
terest to the people at large, and sets it before
them in such generosity of paper and print as
would have astOnished us all twenty yeOrs ago.
DAILY-Twelve cents week, fifty cents a
month, So a year, two cents a copy.
SUNDAY-Four cents copy, So a year
WEEKL1-One copy. 81 a year; five copies,
IS a year; ten copies. SIS a year; twenty cop
les S25 year, with one copy free TO the getter-
up of every club.

TAXES AND THE LAW.


THE DAILY News, draws a parallel
between his case of alleged over
valuation for purposes of taxation,
and the case of the St. Johns and
Halifax Railroad Company, This
Mr. Kinds asserts to be "a similar
case"
We have given the exact record,
showing why the board of county
commissioners took actionin the case
of the railroad, and this statement
from official sources should satisfy
any reasonable party, democratic or
republican. To show that neither
the comptroller nor the board acted
without authority, we beg to quote
the following from the pamphlet
edition of the laws of Florida for
1881, viz: page 35, section As:
''That the president and secretary, or
superintendent, or manager, of any rail-
road company, whose track or road-bed,
or any part thereof, is in this state, shall
annually, on or before the second Mon.
day in July, return to the comptroller of
the state, under their oaths, the total
length of such railroad, the total length
and value of such roads or lines, inclu-
ding rights of way, road-bed, side track
and main track, in. this state, and the to-
tai length and value thereof in each
county, city and incorporated town in
this state; they shall also make return of
| the number and value of their locomotive
engines, passengers, freight, platform,
construction and other cars and appur-
/ tenances. and the value thereof shall be
apportioned by the comptroller, pro rata,
| to each mile of main track, and the
comptroller shall notify the assessor of
! each county through which railroads run
of the number of miles of track and the
value thereof, and the proportionate val
ue of personal property taxable in their
respective counties, and to such values
thus apportioned the assessor shall add
the value of all real property, together
with all fixtures, machinery, tools and
other property within their respective
countless and upon the value thus ascer-
tanned, taxes shall be assessed the same
as upon the property of individuals, and
any agent of such company is authorized
to pay such tax to the collector, and re-
tain the amount out of any money in his
possession belonging to such road
Now we thus see that the road
was assessed by the comptroller of
the state, not by the assessor of the
county; therefore, when the comp
troller notified the board of county
commissioners that he had made a
mistake, there was nothing either in
law or equity to prevent them from
reducing the assessment to the val
uation fixed by the state officer IN
der the law.
But the commissioners must hear
the complaints of citizens after the
receipt Of the returns from Talla-
hassee, and due notice will be given
in these columns, so that Mr.. Hind
and all others can present their
claims for allowance under error in
assessment to be returned to the
proper office. With this plain state
ment of facts we hope Mr. Hind is
satisfied and we are convinced the
public will be. We here express
the thanks due from all to Mr.. Hind
for the publication of his grievance,
and we assure him that we are al
ways ready to listen and condemn
or exculpate, as in our opinion is
| just.

THE PEOPLES PENSION LIST.

PaIatka is ready and anxious to
do her share towards the finest char
ity of the century. To the soldier
worn out or disabled in his cOuntry's
service, every civilized government
in Substantial terms acknowledges
its Indebtedness.
Our cause was lost forever, and in
our defeat most of us now see the
hand of kind Providence. In the
next generation all of us will. But
even those who fought him, mainly
those who fought him openly where
stout blows were bravely given and
taken, accord to the Confederate
soldier the credit of honest motives
nobly followed to logical results and
practical effect. No government
can give him aid; his people are
poor and the soldiers of the north,
the citizens of the whole country,
only follow their general in the
spirit which dictated his return of
Lees sword when they send food
and medicine to the fever sufferers
or contribute to establish pension
list, on which shall be placed the dis
abled and destitute of those who
vindicated our common manhood
and justified mutual pride by max
ing the hardest struggle possible,
and holding parole in faith pure
and spotless.
The sun never saw finer specta-
Gle than this; all the glories of past
ages pale before the followers of
1 the Christian Exemplar who adorn
the graves of enemies and feed the
destitute of those late in battle ar
ray. The ladies of Columbus, Miss,
when they placed laurels on the last
resting places of the Federal dead,
struck trembling chord which vi
brated in sweetest music throughout
the country.
mo more shall the war cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red;
They Danish our anger forever,
When they laurel the graves of our dead
The old fiagis wreathed with new
recollections by such mutual courte-
sizes; the hearts of a great people
set at naught the vaporings of the
politician. We join hands now, not
over ehasm, but with sympathetic
hearts and fearful eyes, palm meets
palm around the venerated graves
of martyrs of either cause, in mem
DRY of whom all sections feel
common pride.
The recipient of this charity re-
ceives a medal comforting far more
glory than those of Queen, Emperor
or Car. Friends and enemies unite
in bestowing the decoration, and
the whole proposition shows feel
ing in the breasts of the people
which foreign or domestic sword
can never eradicate or the lapse of
time make dim. Wecan be glad and
proud through all coming ages to
know that the Union soldier shows
grander in this than any defender of
Thermopylae or the Capitol.
