1t Is known that 1T Is or has been the inten-
ton of the secretary of the treasury to make
payment for the Panama canal out OF the treas
ury surplus, he rightly holding that even the
5O.oO0.0O0 which the traditional policy of the
treasury holds should always be maintained as
a safe working balance, Is nevertheless to be
drawn upon in time of such an emergency as
the Panama payments present. Nevertheless
there are other ways In which the secretary
might, If the situation required. provide for the
Panama payments. For instance, il has been
in authorizing the secretary to issue bonds to
the amount OF $780, 000. 600 TO defray the cost OF
the canal construction be interpreted so as
to permit him to $50 000 900 of such bonds 10
meet the payments which must be made to the
canal company and the Republic of Panama
OF course, If he uses soc, 000,0 of these bonds
for this purpose, provision would have to be
made hereafter to make up the deficiency in the
amount required to complete the actual canal
construction.
1t is to be hoped that Secretary Shaw will no,
be compelled to depart from his well-known de-
termination to make the canal payments the
least burden possible upon the money markets

consumption OF cotton is outstripping the pro-
duction. European buyers refused to believe
the advanced prices OF cotton genuine and
held off for months and months. but finally
bought on an enormous scale so that our october
exports of cotton the second largest in
history, while the value of this same commodity
much higher in the average than ever be-
fore. November exports OF cotton will be larger
still. Our cotton is the best in the world and
commands, therefore. superior prices. All this is
very disastrous to the spinnig industries of New
England and the South. Cotton goods prices will
have to go up in order to leave margin OF
profit for the manufacturers. The production of
cotton has about reached its maximum. 1t has
reached II in this country. Other cotton-pro-
ducng areas I'm various parts Of the world not
only produce inferior staple. but are limited
to any increase. Egyptian cotton has been
much exploited OF late but the possibilities
there are limited owing to the fact that the
available comprises only two narrow strips
along the Nile. One might venture the opinion
that the result will be a substitute for cotton.

Compliment to Palatka.

of clothing or mems furnishing
goods" said a well known grocery
drummer who visits this city at reg
ular intervals, II invariably wait I'M
til / can get to Palatka."
II travel pretty much over the
whole state" said the drummer,
land I tell you that there isn't a
house in any city in the whole of
Florida that carries such variety
of mems fine goods as does the Fearn-
side Clothing Company. You Pal
atia boys ought to be proud of that
store. You can go there and get a
pair of mems shoes that you know
are the mode; you can get neckwear
and under garments as fine as Is
made, and as for clothing, the lines
are those recognized the country
over as being the most artistic as
well as the best made and of the lat
est fabrics. Time is past when q man
is Obliged, in order to dress well, to
put a months salary in suit of
clothes. Modern methods have evolv-
ed the tailor made garment and any,
ordinarily put up. man can get as
good a fit as if made to his order.
These garments are all made by high
priced tailors and the work on them
is equal to the best work on a suit to

Has Gone to Texas.

Rev. N. H. Williams, since Janua-
ry last pastor of st. James M. e.
church in this city, left with his fam
lily on Wednesday for Cotulla, Texas,
ut which place he has been assigned
to the pastorate of the Methodist
church.
For the past several months Mrs.
Williams has been suffering with
bronchial trouble and physicians had
advised her removal TO higher and
dryer climate. Since that advice
was given Mr.. Williams has been
steadily looking for an opening in
some one of the western conferences
of his church. Recently vacancy
occurred at Cotulla, Texas, and the
pastorate there was rendered Mr..
Williams with the result that he ac-
cepted and left on Wednesday,.
Cotulla is IL small town in LaSalle
county less than 90 miles from the
Mexican border. The church there
is strong enough to afford II living to
its pastor and the hope is fOndly ex-
pressed by his former Pensioners
here that in his new field his excel
.Ient wife may not only find health,
Sbut that Mr.. Williams may be pros
pered IN his calling.
During his short official connection
with the church in Palatka Mr.. Will
liams did efficient service and great
" endeared himself to the members
of his congregation, and had it not
been for the unfortunate atfiiction
which has come upon him, it is be-
lieved that his passionate here would
have proved a signal blessing to the
church.

Petition for Port of Entry.

The Palatka Board of Trade has
forwarded to Hon. Leslie NJ. Shaw,
Secretary of the Treasury, Washing
ton, potion asking that Palatka be
made port of entry. Accompany
ing this petition was a compilation
showing the number of vessels which
arrive and depart from Palalka dur
ing the year, together with the
total shipments of lumber, shingles,
ETC., which are sent out over the
world by Palatka firms and Others
that tow lighter loads to this place
for loading on vessels.
The petition was signed by the
mayor and members of city council,
the county commissioners, the mill
owners and all members of the board
Of trade who could be seen. 1t was a
strong petition and it is thought that
1t will undoubtedly result in the gov
eminent designating Palatka as a
port of entry.
With Palatka as a port this city
would get credit for its great ship
ments of lumber and other manufae-
tured products which now are given
to Jacksonville.

Rev DR.. R. l.. Honiker spent Sat
urday and Sunday in Palatka, ell
route to his home in Palmetto from
attending the state convention OF

Sunday evening DR.. Honiker preach
ed to his old congregation in st.

always be q welcome visitor to Pal

cation but with the people of all

Those of our citizens who were
down town last Tuesday evening wit
messed a pretty exhibition of drilling
on Lemon and Front streets by the
Gem City Guards. The company
made most excellent appearance
and if their good work continues
which there isn't the least doubt Of
there will be banner company from
Palatka at the encampament. The
boys were treated to light refresh
ments by Captain Calhoun, at
Smiths, just before the conclusion
of the drill. Henry Mckenzie is a
new member of the organization.
The board of fire commissioners
held its regular meeting last Monday
night. John Boyle was elected jani-
tor to succeed II. r. Hay, resigned.
The board is working up an interest
in the department by inaugurating
a series of races to be entered into by
the various companies. Prizes will
be offered. The matter was talked
over at some length, but no definite
action taken. 1t is understood, how
ever, that something will be doing in
department after the arrival of the
new hose reels, which are now on the
way.
The Fourth of July passed off very
quietly in Palatka. There was no
public celebration, but there was a
couple of base ball games in the af-
] ternoon which tended to make the
day of American independence not
an altogether dull one, even if the
weather was hot. The first game
was between fast black team from
st. Augustine and the Palatka color
ed nine. The former won by score
of IA to 4; it was a sprinting match
At p. IN. another game was played
between the supposed-regular Palat
ka team and the Nine Chums. TIL
game promised to be EXTRAORDINARY.

The Fourth at Grandin.

The citizens of Grandin gave big
picnic in the grove at that place on
the Fourth, and people from all over
the western part of the county at
tended. 1t is estimated that fully
400 people were present.
Nothing that could contribute to
the comfort of the towns guests was
omitted and all who attended report
the time of their lives. The day
was one of excessive heat, and this
fact kept many away who otherwise
would have gone, not alone from Pa
latka, but from the surrounding
country districts,
