Congressman Davis Home.

Hon. and Mrs. Robert w. Davis
returned from Washington Monday
after an absence of several weeks in
that city and New York. With them
came Mrs. Ralph Burton nee Nellie
Davis, aud her friend Miss Minnie
Hunt, of Washington, who will spend
some ten days here.
Judge DAVIS looks as fresh and Wig
orous as though he had been enjoying
an outing at the seaside, though as
matter of fact he has been hard at
work in Washington on department
work, in the pension and other de-
partments of the government where
he had business for constituents. He
says that he went away with note
book full of memoranda of work to
be done, and that he stayed right by
the work until he cleared the calen-
dar.
Judge Davis is spending all of this
week quietly at home, attending to a
great volume of accumulated cores
pondence. Next week he hopes to
attend the political rally at Punta
Gorda, and later that at Lake Butler.

DAVIS PLATFORM.

The following editorial in the
Jacksonville Metropolis of Monday,
August 18th, is one of the many
very sensible things that excellent
paper is saying from time to time on
political questions and concerning
candidates. 1t should be read by
every citizen of Florida, for it states
y truth plainly and impressively:
"a citizen in Clay county wants TO
know if "Bob Davis" has printed his
platform in The Metropolis, and if
lie has, to send him copy Of it, SO
that he can see if he is the railroad
candidate, as reported in that cOun.
ty. No such platform has been pub
ished in The Metropolis. But why
should any one have the idea that
Mr.. Davis is any more the railroad
candidate than he Is the candidate
of anything else? If he is railroad
candidate, he should be consistent
in being a railroad Congressman.
He has never shown his love was
more for railroads than for the pee
pie.
II WI DAtN 10 OtttA bC VI uSbNO bAA
successive terms as Congressman
from Florida he can surely be trusted
as a Governor for one term.
This clap-trap about candidates
favoring corporations over all other
things is demagogical, and only done
by personal enemies in the interest
of friends who may become candi-
dates. Mr.. Davis, as Governor,
would have no power to favor corpo-
rations. if he desired. The State
Railroad Commissioners contro
most of the things concerning rail-
roads, and they are elected by the
people, not appointed by the Cover
nor.
"The Metropolis is not the organ
or mouthpfece of Mr.. Davis or any
other man, but Il believes in fair
play, and In giving every man an
equal chance, aud 1t dislfkes to see
any effort made to prejudice the vo-
ters against q candidate by false
alarms"

VIII be a Legal Battle.

Gen. Elbert Wheeler of Boston,
treasurer of the Palatka Water
Works company, and Auditor Kim
ball of the same company were in
the city last Saturday and over San-
day. Gen. Wheeler and Auditor
Kimball came to consult their attor-
neys in regard to the recent OrdI-.
nance passed by the city council
fixing II new and reducing rate for
city and individual purposes.
1t is their purposes to fight the
reduction in the courts, and with
this in view have retained Calhoun
& Calhoun and Henry Strunz as
council to represent the water COM
pany.
The outlook is that there will be
considerable litigation over the ac-
ton of the council, and the matter
will be shortly tested by the water
company in a suit to restrain the
city from enforcing the new rates.
This suit will probably be brought
either in the state or United States
court and will seek to restrain the
enforcement of those rates by the
city on constitutional grounds as
we'll as on the question as to the
reasonableness of the rates now
fixed by the council.
The new rates do not go into effect
until October lst, next, but the suit,
the News understands, will be in
stituted before that date.
The company represented by Gen.
Wheeler and Auditor Kimball own
and control several water plants in
the south.
Davis & Hilburn will represent the
city in the legal war, and that there
will be a pretty scrap goes without
saving.

ROPES AS FIRE ESCAPES.

An Experience which Shook One
Mans Confidence In Them.
"Yes, | know that most of the boys
carry rope around with EN-" said
the commercial traveller, "and the time
was when | would not have taken the
road without one, but l gave mine to
my wife for an extra clotheslme three
or four years ago. / read occasionally
of a rope saving somebody from a
burning hotel, but don't care to be
saved that way"
"But you don't want to be burned
with the hotel, do yOuT' was asked.
"Of course not, but if l can't get
down by the stairs or the iron fire
escape I'll take my chances on mat
tress or a firemen's ladder"
but what's the matter with knot
ted roper
81 didn't think anything was the
matter for many years. l used to go
to bed feeling as safe as a baby in
his crib, and if found a traveller who
didn't carry fifty foot rope in his grip
I set him down as very reckless man.
One day when l was in an Indiana
town lot of us got to talking about
ropes and burning hotels, and a wall
eyed buffer offered to bet me $5 to 81
that | couldn't slide down my rope
from a third story window and not
half kill myself OF course jumped
at the bet, but he knew what he was
talking about. l hadn't lowered my
self six feet before the rope burned
my hands and let go and broke leg.
The trick was tried by three others
and though they escaped broken bones
they were badly shaken up and tongue
bitten. After my leg mended bluffed
everybody met on that rope business,
and | never found chap who could
slide down two stories and feel good
for month after. A sailor could do
IT, of course, but I'm no sailor, and If
ever I'm cut off by fire I'll take a head
er for the sidewalk and hope to hit a
fat man as l come down. ."-Exchange.

TO BOND THE COUNTY.
PaIatka Board of Trade Will
Ask County Commissioners to
Bond County to Build Bridges
and Good ROads.

There was fairly good attendance
at the meeting of the Board of Trade
Wednesday evening.
The most important business tran
sacted came up on the recommended
tion of L. G. Canova, who urged the
need of good roads in the county and
the necessity of bridging the river
both at Palatka and Buffalo Bluff.
Mr.. Canova thought the Board of
Trade could very properly go before
the county commissioners and urge
that body to submit a proposition for
bonding in sufficient amount for the
needed work to a vote of the electors.
After some discussion by members
a motion was made for the appoint
meut of committee of 10 to repre-
sent the board at the next meeting of
the county commissioners and urge
them to take the matter up and order
an election for the purpose of issuing
bonds. 1t is thought that the idea
is not new with our progressive conf
missioners and that they will readily
grant the request.
Congressman Davis was present at
the meeting and assisted in the delib-
erations with helpful suggestions.
The following gentlemen compose
the committee of 10 to represent the
board before the county commission
