Kingston, Jamaica, February II, 1902.
We arrived here from Porto Rico yester-
day, stopping on the way for day at
Santo Dominica city, dilapidated town,
with but little of interest except the old
cathedral where they claim the remains of
Columbus are located. Poor old man, he
must have had great many remains to
have some in so many different places.
Our vessel anchored about mile from
the landing and we went ashore in the
ships life boats, the sea being too rough
to use their launches This was the first
opportunity that we have had to get to
Jamaica from Porto Rico since we arrived
at the latter place. About dozen of the
friends we met while in San Juan came on
board the steamer to see us off and we re
ceived letters of regret from Others which
made for us a very pleasant send off.
The hotels here are nearly all full, il
being about the height of the touris
season We were fortunate, however, in
getting located at one of the best
On board the vessel we met severa
people from Philadelphia who were &C
quainted with friends of ours, and one
man from Bristol, Pa.
Will give you something about Jamaic'
later.
Yours truly, JAMES Comfy

township Affairs.

| The reports of the treasurer and collec
tor, published last week, were read with
interest. They are worthy of much study
The collectors report is not very clear,
and there are many items that might be
explained. He has four separate rates fol
collecting taxes, viz: ~, II, % and q
cents per name. Which is rightf If all
are correct, where is the authority Then
he shows where he has collected his salary
and is overdrawn $44. 40. How does that
happen Did he pay himself2 This
seems to be for the year 1900, which ought
to have been settled last year. BY what
right does any officer pay his own fees?
Again, in the report of last week the
collector fixes the amount collected for the
year 1900 at $44.9 72 10, while in his report
published in 1901, he gave the amount of
duplicate $44, S51.92, and now publishes as
uncollected in that duplicate the sum of
$3.50. If these figures are correct where
is the difference between the two publica-
tions2 The school account is dismissed in
two lines-amount collected and amount
expended. Former collectors have speci-
fed by dates, the amounts received and
the source of income.
The report might have been made much
clearer than it is.
The treasurer reports $185O fines for
drunkenness and disorderly conduct,
turned over to him in 1901 In 1900 the
amount was $125.SO, and in 1889 $268. Is
was reported. What is the explanation ?
Was there a failure to return fees the past
year or has the town reformed
Has the town become good all of sud
den or are the officers a little careless in
the matter of arrests2 Compared with
the statements of other years the receipts
from fines is very small How would it
do to let the officers have the costs as
heretofore and let them furnish their own
uniforms7
The list of tax delinquents is still too
large. By the way there are rumors that
there are still balances due the township
on taxes in ex-collector Hollis term. One
amount is said to be owing by a young
man who has been the beneficiary of the
township treasury for services and
who has had good salary from the state
treasury. Wonder if this is sol
During the past two years the town
ship committee has paid $4,75O on the
debt of the township and has balance of
3d. 900 to start with Pretty good show
ing.

the diseased portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
causedby an inhamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the eustachian tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed

Extra Fees Returned.

At the last meeting of the Board of
Freeholders a resolution was adopted
which appropriated to Prosecutor Atkin-
son the sum of 5000 extra fees for services
in the trial of John Young and Charles
Brown, for the murder of Washington
Hunter The precedent for this action
had been set in the cases of Barclay Peak
and Wesley Warner, when Judge Hen
erickson and Eckard P. Budd, who were
the Prosecutors then, received an extra
sum for their services. In 1895, how
ever, law was enacted touching on this
very point, but it seems to have escaped
the memory of all, and Mr.. Atkinson was
given the same as his predecessors had
secured. The law was referred to by q
writer in the Herald, and as soon as it was
brought to the attention of Prosecutor
Atkinson he at once determined to return
the check, which he had not deposited.
The following letter accompanied it:
MOUNT HOLLY. February 81, 1872
| WILLIAM W. WoRRELL, County Auditor.
Dear Sir:-l return you herewith check foI
500, which you handed me yesterday in pur-
| suance of a resolution adopted at the recent
meeting of the Board OF Freeholders. grant

While the precedent tor such payment was
established in the cases oil my immediate
predecessors in office, and while the extra and
extraordinary services performed in this case
were particularly arduous ana troublesome
involving much travel and absence from my
4 home and in other ways enta1ling unusual
work, prefer not to retain the check II there

| Upon careful examination OF the law an
satisfied that the Board was without legal au

Heavy Travel to Florlda and the south

Heavy Travel to Florida and the South.
The tide of travel which sets in every
winter from the northern states to the
milder climates of the south and south
western portions of the country has begun
this year at a very much increased rate
over that of any previous season. Trans
portation companies report that their ia
| cilities are completely utilized, and that
early application is often necessary in or
der to secure choice accommodations.
| The Southern Railways new and palatial
train, the "Southern's Palm Limited, >
which began its service in the middle of
January, between the more prominent re.
sorts of the South, has proved a welcome
aud in view of the increased travel-a
| necessary addition to the means of inter
communication between these two sec
tions. This train is running heavily load
ed every day, every compartment and
stateroom being taken, and it has frequent
ly been necessary to put on additional
sleeping cars in order to accommodate the
demand. The popularity of this train is
mainly due to the prominence of the
points which it touches and the quick
time which it makes between New York
and Florida. Another train operated by
the Southern Railway System is the
Washington and Southwestern Limited.
Its close connection with the .'Sunset
Limited of the Southern Pacific Co. at
New Orleans to Mexico and the Pacific
Coast makes it popular Southern route
for winter travel. This system offers quick
service to the beautiful 81 and ofthe Sky"
the mountain region of North Carolina,
within which are located such famous re-
sorts as Pinehurst, Asheville, and Hot
Springs, also to Columbia. Summerville,
Aiken and Augusta. These places are
easily reached, and is one of the main rea-
SONS for the present great increase of
Southern travel. The travel to the still
milder and more southernly located re-
sorts in Florida, St. Augustine, Palm
Beach, Ormode, Tampa and other places
on both the Atlantic and gulf coasts of
the state seems to be equally heavy. The
Southern Railway route is also most pop
u ar among travellers to Cuba, since the
quick time made between New York and
Miami. materially shortens the trip to
Havana. Travel westward through the
Gulf States to New Orleans and the west
is unusually heavy, and the approaching
Mardi Gras festivities in New Orleans are
also attracting considerable number of
northern visitors to that city. Complete
information in regard to reaching all of
the above resorts can be procured of Chas.
L. Hopkins, District Passenger Agent,
Southern Railway, 828 Chestnut Street, as
his Office is a bureau of information for
southern travel.
