THE CUBAN SUGAR CROP.
Unreasonable Rains Have Prevented
the Grinding of Cane.

United States Minister Squfres, at Ha-
vana, has made report to the State De-
partment in regard to the sugar trade OF
Cuba. He says that Cuba exported 342,395
tons of sugar in the past year as against
1164S1 tons in 1902 She had on hand
39S 442 tons April 80 last, whereas there
was a surplus of 492. 2SS tons in 1902. This
years production of sugar in the district
adjacent to Cienfuegos, will be considera-
bly, less than was figured at the commence
ment of the grinding season, owing to the
unreasonable rains in the months of JAM
uary and February.
On account of that bad weather ii will
be Impossible to grind all the cane stands
ing unless the wet season should fall to
set in at the usual time The Cuban plant
ers. however. are entirely satisfied with

made up his mind to ask for the ap-
pointment. Mr.. Tucker is one of the
best-knOwn men in the county; is
clean and capable, and has had long
experience as a member of the school
board. Several members of the exc
.cutive committee have signified
their intention of supporting him.
Prof. T. w. Ralph of this city, n
former county superintendent, is n lso
mentioned. Prof. Ralph is not a
candidate in the sense that be is
seeking the office, but his friends say
that he will be pleased to accept it If
rendered him. He has the advan-
tage of long experience, is most
capable man and no mistake could
be made i'm his selection
Another candidate is Mr.. r. II
Simmons principal of the school at
Crescent City Mr.. Simmons has
taught in the county some six or
seven wears. He is a registered
voter of the county, is 30 years of
age, and holds u first grade certifi-
cate and has been graduated in the

At the regular meeting of the city
council on Tuesday evening u whole
raft of business of the regular order
came up and was put through in
busincss-like manner under the guild
ance of Chairman Kennerly.
Alderman Howell A. Davis made
crack-a-jack speech on the subject
of clean streets. He didn't want
grass to grow in the streets of the
town where he moves and has his
being and is getting a worldwide
reputation for the manufacture of
tanks. He didn't say all this, but it
was on his mind. He complimented
the mayor, the street committee and
the chief of police on what had been
accomplished, but he wanted more,
and-he got it. Chief Hagan was
instructed to notify all slow movers
in this reform to hustle or take the
consequences.
- The council also joined with the
board of county commissioners in
an appropriation for the purchase of
1900 copies of the Forthcoming illus
trated magazine edition of the Palat-
ka News, which will be issued Dec.

Superintendent Ford's division, but
Mr.. Ford once lived in Palatka and
when he is passing through the place
he frequently runs down town to

friends. During his stop here on
Wednesday the subject of the re-
moval of the railway shops to Pa

they would, neither did he say that
they would not, but he did say that
the company would probably soon

that if he had any surplus funds for
investment he would not hesitate to
invest in Palatka realty.
This is only straw, but good
