hundred. He brought them in the
spring, and put them in his pasture
where they remained all summer and
when he sold them the other day he
found they had gained an average
of $50 pounds each. Not bad, that,
for cattle that had nothing all sum-
mer but what they picked in tho pas
ture.
The rainy weather has delayed
threshing very much, and it looks
as if it would be late before the
threehing is all done. Much of the
grain is somewhat damp, so that it
threshes harder than it otherwise
would. The threshermen, however,
are working early and late whenever
the weather will permit, as they
would like to have. their machines
put away before the snow flies.
People arc beginning to think that 1t
is about time the miners strike was
settled in some way or other. Cold
weather will soon be here, and in
this latitude a scarcity Of fuel woud
be about as bad as scarcity OF bread.
In the cities and towns the lack of
hard coal will be more keenly felt
than among farmers, though to
be without it will be great
incon venience to most of us. The
adjustment of tho relations between
employer and employed is one OF
the most difficult problems that we
have to face. If there we're but one
side to the question it would Re
easily settled, but there are
Always two sides, and if decision
is to he reached that shall be fair to
both parties, We must be willing to
look at both sides. That the labor
er is worthy of his hire all will
admit without question; and some
times we look no futher, but conclude
at once that the men who strike for
higher wages are in the right, and
are entitled to our sympathy.
If they ask for nothing but what
is right and reasonable, they are
entitled to our sympathy, but If
thew make unreasonable demands
demands which, if granted, would
triple the business of their empeloy-
ers, why, that is quite another thing.
The employer and employed
each has his rights, the ono quite
az much as the other. When men
band together by Thousands, and
not only insist on fixing their own
terms az to wages but threaten with
bodily harm to any who offer to
take their places, we can easily see
that their position is an unjustiha'
bic one. Perhaps W. shall be obliged,
eventually to pass laws making
arbitration of such cases com
pulsory.

Railroading holds z position OF
Importance in, this country which
few people realize. As a great
distributor, and I. circumlatOr OF
wealth the 197, 337 miles Of. railroad
found in the. United. States arc
absolutely without rival. In tho
popular mind a railroad corporation
is always associated with the idea Of
abundant means. There are not
many, however, Y no pause to ca]cu-
late the part the various railroad
systems play in economic affairs It
the country.
When it is realized that last year
the gross receipts of all the systems
amounted to. $3.50, 500, O37 some
slight idea can be had Of the enor-
nous activities which their opera
ton represents. Of this amount
enough was available after paying
operating expenses to devote t1ss,
746, $50 to dividends, and leave = \
balance of $s7, 764, 781, to be carried,
to the surplus account. This available !
fund was enough to give almost
every man, woman and child in tho
United States o. :. WI
The operating expenses ameuted
up to over $1,000, 100000. That:
colossal sum was distributed among
the multitude of employees among
the various factories which provid-s
cd equipment, and among thu
different interests which furnished
supplies. In, other words the railroad
expended throughout the country
enough to..give every man, woman
and child about $l2 apiece. That !
one item alone gives some slight 4
notion of what splendid distributors
of wealth the railroads are. "
These mountainous sums were
earned by transporting 607, PTS, 1S1-
passengers and 1883, 226, 40 tona
of freight. The list of passengers is2
equal to the population of China, the
United States, the British Isles,
France and Germany combined. II Il
tho freight total we're reduced to mem I
putting the average weight of a man
at 15Opounds,it would be equivalent
to 145, 22e, 6ss, 900 men. In other
words, the tonnage weight Of freight
for the one year very largely exceed
I'd the compined weight of the entire
population of the globe. s$SSt
These few figures will afford the
public some glimmering of the wort ~
accomplished by our various rail- ".
road systems. Everybody feels the l0'ls
effect Of their operation, everybody
gathers benefits from their activity

Has Reason to Crow.

The success of the San Mateo Gig.
ars in securing first premiums at two
state fairs is a matter of much pride
not only to the manufacturer, Mr.
S. w. Rowley, but to the entire coun.
ty of Putnam as we'll. Mr.. Rowley's
success is Putnam county success,
He has demonstrated that the finest
grades of tobacco can be grown on
the lands of his company at San
Mateo; and further, he has demon
strated the fact that in his factory
has been discovered the secret of
making a winning cigar, even in
Florida, where the best cigars in the
world are rolled.
The judges of cigars at the state
fair were men who were competent
to determine good tobacco and well
made cigar. Mr.. Hafer our special
commissioner in charge of Putnam's
exhibit, states that these Judges NOT
only smoked the cigars, but they cut
them open, examined them critical
ly and were unit in the expression
that they had found a perfectly made
cigar with flavor and aroma un-
equalled.
Therefore the News thinks that
Mr.. ROwley has reason for Growing
over his success.

Listen to This, Please.

1--WE desire to call the attention OF
the County Commissioners to the
urgent necessity of the construction
of a court house commensurate with
the business and standing Of Putnam
county, the antiquated structure IN
use at present being, in our judg-
ment, totally inadequate. We rec
Ommend further that every avalla-
BILE means be used to better the con-
dition of our county roads"
The above quotation is taken from
the presentment of the late grand
jury. This body of men, was, by
common consent, credited from the
first, with being one of the best
most OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of men
which has filled this important trib-
unal in some time.
These men were not talking
through their hats" when they APP
pended their signatures to the pre-
sentiment of which the above para
graph forms an important part.
They saw the condition of the court
house and they knew by experience
that our county roads are hard ones
to travel. But the court house.
These men knew what other and
less populous counties are doing and
have done in the way of court hous-
es. They know what Putnam coun-
ty should do and as a sworn duty
they have recommended, among
other things, "the urgent necessity
of the construction of a court house,
commensurate with the business and
standing Of Putnam county, the anti
quated structure in use at present,
being in their judgment, totally in
adequate"
Those men We're uttering good
horse sense. The people of Putnam
county cannot afford the disgrace of
further inaction in this matter
There should be astrong move on the
part of all the people for a court
house commensurate with the stand
ing" of this county.

RARE INTELLECTUAL
TREAT.
Rev. Frank Dixon in His Brill
liant Success, 'The Threat
of Socialism,"

If the press throughout the United
States is to be believed the lecture
to be delivered on Friday night at
Fry's Opera house is one that no one
can afford to miss. Mr.. Dixon lee
lures upon a subject that appeals to
the patriotism and good citizenship
of every man, woman and child.
His tongue cuts like a razor, then
sOOthes like a lullaby. Perhaps this
may be his last visit to Palatka, and
everybody should avail themselves
of the opportunity to hear him.
The Rev. Frank Dixon comes here
under the auspices of the Florida
Lyceum circuit, with headquarters
at Miami. Reserved seats will be on
sale at Alderman d Stewards drug
store from s a. m. to p. m. on the
day Of the lecture.
Mr.. Van R. Carpenter the advance
representative of the Florida Ly-
ceum in conversation yesterday,
said: Organizers are now at work
ut different places on the circuit pre-
pairing for a course. No money has
been spared in making this year a
signal success. Mr.. J. G. Beck, jr.,
the manager of the Florida circuit is
daily spending hundreds of dollars
building, leasing and engagin &
houses in which to show the many
attractions that have already been
booked. Efforts will be made to in
clude Palatka in the circuit"
Don't forget that this is positively
the last chance to hear that giant of
eloquence, the Rev. Frank Dixon.
Speaking of the lecture at Miami on
the 18th inst, B. B. Tatum, editor of
the Miami Metropolis, says:
"Rev. Frank DiXon's lecture last
night was the best ever heard; was
all truth and logic, spiced with hui
NOR and full of wholesome things
for everybody. This one lecture is
worth the full price of the lyceum
season ticket.

MIXER FOUND GUILTY
.Ot M0nS0IghIeT, with 0 Rec
OTInneDd1Ii0D 10 Mercy.
PENDING MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL
Is Out on $3.50 Bond Until the
Next Term of Court.

The trial of Albert Mixer and w.
r. B. Warn, charged with the murder
Of George Parker jr. at Georgetown
on the night of October 4th, was
brought to close last Saturday
morning, when the jury rendered a
verdict of manslaughter against Mix
er, coupled with a recommendation
to the mercy of the court.
Warn was acquitted, and if he will
but profit by the advice of the states
attorney he will hereafter abide in
peace in the envirous of Fruitland
md observe the merciful recommen-
dation that he reform his speech.
Immediately after the verdict was
given in the case of Mixer, his attor-
ney, Hon. B. p. Calhoun, made Il
motion for new trial, but owing to
the great amount of unfinished work
on the docket, the court postponed
argument until next term, and Mixer
was released on bond of $3.50 for his
appearance at that time.
Among those who attended the
trial and gave close attention to the
testimony, the impression prevails
that Mixers conviction is largely
due to his own testimony.
During a call at this office, how
ever, Mr.. Mixer stated that it was
largely due to certain unexpected
testimony which was introduced, and
coming from parties who had pre-
viously stated to him that they knew
nothing of the case. Mr.. Mixer was
not disposed to grumble about the
verdict.
On the first ballot the jury stood
for murder, for manslaughter and
for acquittal. The one for murder
then changed to manslaughter, and
the four who voted for acquittal
changed to manslaughter on condi-
ton that a recommendation to mercy
be incorporated in the verdict.
The case consumed all the time Of
the court from Thursday morning to
Saturday morning, including night
sessions. Mixer was ably defended
by Messrs. Calhoun d Calhoun with
D. NJ. Kirby of counsel. w. 7. b.
Warn was defended by J. n. Black
well.
The case did not attract near the
crowds nor the interest of the Parker
trial, but there was always court
room full of spectators.
The speeches of J. n. Blackwell
and Calhoun & Calhoun for their re-
spective clients We're said to have
been able and eloquent, and prosecu-
tor Carter is said to have been at his
best
The case against Warn was never
thought to have been serious, and
much of this feeling is said to have
been due to the ingenius handling of
his case by his attorney, who kept
quiet, sawed wood" and made SEN
timent for his client.

A HEALTH POLICY

The system is, from natural
causes, debilitated or rundown
both in the spring and fall. The
seasons changes are always a tax
on the human organism. The
blood becomes impure in the
spring, and vitality lags in the fall.
A little care, a little assistance,
and nature will do the rest, as it is
always trying to maintain health.
Frequently the weakest organ will
show the most disorder, and this
often leads to wrong treatment.
For the de bilitated conditions
of spring or fall, or any other
time, for that matter, the right
thing to do is to build up the
whole system. 1t is not your stom-
ach, or liver, or nerves alone that
cause the trouble; you are weak
ened all over and must have re-
newed strength and vitality. These

lecture tonight in Cooper Unicn on

Gated the Government ownership Of
all railroads. In part Mr.. Knapp
said:
GAS I view this matter the State
has as much right to farm out the
business of collecting it's revenues or
preserving the peace and allow the
parties entrusted with these duties
to. vary the rate Of taxation, accord
ing to their own interests or to sell
personal protection to the highest
bidder, as it has to permit the great
function of public carriage to be
made the subject Of special bargains
or secret dicker, to be made by fa-
7oritism or oppression by extortion."
