There was a healthy growth In public

sign of turning for profits. The private
crop reports were very unsatisfactory $

Forecasts VS.. Results.

The Palatka News has no desire
other than to serve the public faith
fully as IL vendor of legitimate news.
Opinion is not always news, but
there are times when readers of
newspapers indulge a perfectly
healthy craving for opinion. One
such time is just on the eve of an
exciting election contest, when there
is a demand for the best prediction
opinion obtainable.
Knowing this to be fact the News,
in a perfectly honest way, set about
making it's forecast. In order to
give the forecast it got at the con-
sensus of opinion from men in posi-
ton to form an opinion by reason of
their intimate acquaintance with
the voters. Then, again, the pro-
prietOrs of the News are men who
keep their ears to the ground. They
have learned to distinguish the
creake of a shambling, broken down
road cart from the thunderoas rum
blings of an overwhelming wave
Unpopular feeling. Because they saw
fit to tell the people the portent of
these rumblings the lonesome out
rider of the aforementioned road
cart, together with his coterie of
passengers, have seen fit to charge
the News with partiality and de-
sire to impede their progress. This
is not so. The News proprietors SIM
ply wanted to give the people an ad-
vance tip. Its readers are paying
for just that sort of thing, and now
that the election is over, feel
that readers of this paper have got
ten what they paid for and had a
right to expect.
The News predicted that DR..
Sprague would be the only legisla-
tive candidate elected. He was
elected, and the only one.
We predicted that John P. Wall
would be the second man on the
ticket, but that he would fall short
of an election. He was the second
man, and he failed of an election.
We predicted that the vote OF
James NJ. Chesser would surprise the
people. 1t did.
We predicted that S. j. Kennerly
would be elected county treasurer by
200 majority over Grooms. His ma.
jority was 36l.
What is the moralP Simply this
When the people of Putnam county
want accurate news and the consen.
sus of public opinion, expressed with.
out fear or favor, and without Other
hope Cf reward than the conscious.
ness of having done its full duty ia
its constituents, they will subscribe
for the Palatka News--$1. 90 per yeal
in advance. Now is the time to
subscribe.

Mr.. JUSTICE HOOKER.
Looks Like Burr 0ld Brown
For R0Ir0Qd Com
niSSiODerS.
GROOM IS LEADING MCCALL FOR
COMPTROLLER BY SMALL
MAJORITY.
L0n0r Leeds IN The Third District
Congressional RQCe.

On Thursday morning 800 out of
67S precincts in the state had been
heard from. These precincts gave
Hon. VIM. A. Hooker ,564 votes to
9,295 for Joseph B. Wall. These pre-
cincts are among the most populOus
in the state and it is thought that
while the figures will, of course, be
changed, they will make little diff
ference in the result on Supreme
Court Justice.
1t may be different in the case of
Groom and Mccall who are contest
ing for state Comptrollership. Groom
now leads Mccall by but 700 votes,
and this number could be easily
overcome.
For the office of Railroad Commits
sioner the vote is as follows: Burr,
l0,7S2; Brown, 1851; Day, 8,l64;
Whitner, 6,3GS; Ward, 4,599. Burr's
lead is probably too great to be over
come, and it is safe to predict his
election. Brown has good lead,
and will also probably be elected.
In the new Third Congressional
District 1903 precnts out of II total of
Isl, give Lamar 1862; Myers 1894,
and Beard Sl6. 1t is a close contest
between Lamar and Myers, and
owing to the Beard vote neither
may get Il majority and the race
would be continued in a second pri-
mary. The chances favor Gen. La
mars election.
Mallory will return to the United
States Senate, and Congressman
Sparkman and Davis will continue
to represent the First and Second
Districts respectively by the unani-
nous wish of the people. Neither
geatlemen had opposition.

To Be BanUueted.

A special meeting of the board of
governors of the Board of Trade of
Jacksonville, was held Saturday
afternoon to arrange for the banquet
TO be given in honor of the Florida
delegation in congress on July 30,
next. When the board met, Secret
AIRY Smith read the replies sent by
the Congressman in response to the
invitations sent by the board. These
replies We're all favorable, the MEM
bers of the delegation sending their
acceptance. After discussion of the
various available places, the board
determined upon the Windsor hotel,
and the banquet will be held in the
spacious dining hall of the Windsor
on the evening of the Both instant.
The arrangements for the affair will
be directly in charge of the entertain
ment cOmittee of the Board of Trade,
of which w. K. Halle is chairman.
A comittee on invitations was APP
pointed, consisting of Arthur Perry,
Judge Philips and &. H. Smith.
There was also a finance committee
appointed, with Y. G. Hutchinson as
chairman. 1t is expected that the

given in Jacksonville on the same
line. Invitations will be sent to the
Governor of the state, his staff, the
members of his cabinet, the Supreme
Court Judges, the members of the
Legislature, and in addition, the
prominent officials of all the railroads
entering this section will also be in
cluded. There probably will be
three or four hundred guests at the
banquet. AS yet, the program of
speaches or menu has not been ar
Capt. Garner, president of
the Board of Trade, will act as toast

Democratic. Symptoms.

politics in a popular thirst cure"

ty Republican convention, and one

Gratis are so distinct that they could
be distinguished by an experienced

said to him:

symptoms of good Democrat thish
evening. Duluth News Tribune.
