Big Celery and Truck Farm.

Mesers. Martin and John T. Griffin
are clearing up Is acres of land lying
on the west side of the railroad and
beyond the old J. T. shops. This
land has been owned by Mr.. Martin
Griffin for the past 20 years and new
er before put to any use. 1t is mostly
palmetto scrub and it is costing no
insignificant sum to clear it. When
cleared it is expected to prove ex-
ceptionally rich and valuable for
truck farming.
1t is the Messrs. Griffin's purpose
to Immediately plant the larger part
of this tract in velvet beans and COW
peas. Later these vines will be turn
ed under, the soil mellowed and fer
tilted and made ready for celery
beds, potatoes, lettuce, beats and
other vegetables.
The Messrs. Griffin do not propose
to do this work in any but first
class manner. They will put an eX-
pert farmer in charge of the place,
and hope, owing to the prominent To-
cation of the farm, to make it an OBJ
ject lesson of value to the thousands
who will daily pass on the trains.

New Rector Arrives.

Rev. F. H. Richey, the new rector
of st. Marks Episcopal church, arriv-
ed from Missouri the latter part of
last week and on Sunday officiated
for the first time at st. Marks.
Members of the church with whom
the News has talked express them
selves highly pleased with their new
pastor and freely predict that under
his ministration the church will en-
ter upon an immediate era of spiritu-
al progress.
The new rector is q young man,
strong physically and mentally, and
filed with zeal for the work of his
holy office. His sermon last Sunday
was wholly eXtemporaneous.
Rev. and Mrs. Richey for the pres
ent, and pending the arrival of their
household goods, are boarding at the
Saratoga hotel.
The ladies of the parish have az
ranged reception in honor of their
new rector and his wife at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
S. Wilson next Wednesday evening,
May 18th. 1t is hoped all members
of the church will attend.

For Geological Survey.

Few measures more worthy of
general Endorsement have thus far
been introduced in the Legislature
than Senator Crill's bill providing
for IL geological survey of the state !;
and few, it may be added, have been
made the subject of more favorable
comment by the state press.
Such q survey is the only means
| by which the mineral resources of
the state can be determined and To-
Gated with the requisite accuracy
and, had such measure been put in
operation here twenty-five years
ago, Florida would have been en-
riched by the discovery of phosphate
that much earlier.
Ii must be remembered that the
presence of this valuable deposit in
Florida first became known by ac-
cident, and nobody who remembers
the excitement prevailing in Ocala
in the stirring days of 1889 will need
to be reminded by what expensive
and eXhausting step the pioneers in
our great phosphate industry ar
rived ut definite idea, either as to
| the character or value of their dis
cOvery.
All this waste and worry might
easily have been obviated had the
state at that time erected such a
system of scientific guide posts as is
contemplated by DR.. Crill's bill; and,
while the past and its errors are ire
trievable, we may, at least, make due
provision for the future.
The existence of phosphate in
Florida had long been rumored, and
years before the fact secured scIenti-
fic recognition, specimens had been
secured by those who lacked the
professional standing to establish
| beyond doubt the value of their dis
covery. But. had these superficial
! Investigations been conducted by
scientific experts, operating under
| the direction of the state, the ear OF
the entire world would have at once
been secured, and all doubts at once
dispelled.
For generations the people OF
| Florida walked on phosphate rock
and thought it dross; and, for all we
know, we may today be doing tine
same thing over again. Once is
enough. Let the lines once for all
be drawn. Let the people of Florida
at last know where they stand and
upon what they are standing.
The Grill bill has already passed
the Senate, and when on Saturday
next it comes up as special order
in the House, it should be put
through to Its third reading and final
passage without dsiay,-T m

Will Farm Next Year.

Robert James has purchased the
John Dallow truck farm northeast
of the union depot. The tract is
that which is this year being culti-
waited by the Palatka Development
Co., and on which large crops OF
celery, lettuce, beats, potatoes and
cucumbers have been raised. The
Development Company has served
its purpose. 1t has demonstrated
that these things could be grown
profitabIy. The company had no
other purpose.
Mr.. James has bought the tract
and during the coming season will
make truck gardening leading fea-
ture of his business. His guests at
the restaurant have promised to eat
all he does not sell. This makes him
safe. Mr.. James has been in the
business in a small way this spring
and has been successful. Next year
he will be extensively in it, and his
well-known business Judgment may
be depended on to see him come out
a long ways anead OF the game.

The government squirt-gun, en-
gagged in spraying hyacinths in the
river, has been working near Palat-
ka lately and reports of the slaughter
of cattle are coming in daily.
Mr.. Roberts, who lives across the
river has 10 cattle dead from eating
the treated water hyacinths.
Cattle down at Orange Mills
haven't had any better sense than to
eat the stuff and they, too, are sick
and dying.
Congressman Davis has been ap-
pealed to and yesterday he sent a
telegram to Washington and has fol-
lowed that with a letter enclosing a
petition of the cattle owners protest.
ing against the great injustice. 1t Is
hoped the Washington officials will
take immediate action and prevent
further injury. 1t is believed by
many that the cattle themselves de-
stroy more of the hyacinths than
does the spraying process.

In New Quarters.

The Putnam National Bank of this
city moved into its new and elegant
banking office on Lemon street yes
terday.
The new office is in the building
purchasee by the bank last summer
-the room formerly occupied by
Walter Thomas as a grocery.
For the past two months the build
ing has been in the hands of Con
tractor Marvick and the interior has
been completely remodeled and
fitted into a modern banking room
with tile floors and ornamental walls
and ceilings. When finally settled

DR.. McMurry's Lecture.

DR.. Chas. A. McMurry the emil
nent educator and author will lee
ture on Education, with special re-
ference to our public school system,
at st. James M. f. Church next
Monday evening.
The lecture was originally ar
ranged for Tuesday evening, but
owing to the Blue and Gray picnic
on that day it has been thought best
to have the lecture on Monday eve
ming so that all will be afforded an
opportunity to attend.
DR.. McMurry is most entertain
ing lecturer. He treats his subject
in such manner as to arouse interest
in all classes. This lecture promises
to be a rare intellectual treat for our
people and the News predicts that
the doctor will be greeted by full
house.
Hon. r. w. Davis has consented
to be present and introduce the
speaker.

Dredging Orange Mills Flats.

The work of the government in
dredging the shoals at Orange Mills
Flats was begun on last Tuesday.
This work was provided for under
an appropriation of $4,000 secured by
Congressman Davis at the last ses-
sion, and the work to be accomplish
ed will be of great Importance to
river navigation.
The contract was let by the gov
ernment to the p. Sanford Ross
Company and the dredge in use is of
the powerful clam she'll pattern. 1t
is expected that the work of remov-
ing the shoals will be accomplished
ed during the presentsummer. When
this is done there will be a straight
channel for vessels of deep draught,
and the shoals which now impede
navigation will have been dumped
into the elbow close to the shore.
The superintendent in charge of
the work will have his office in this
city.

Profit in Celery Growing.

That there is profit in celery grow
ing in the lands about Palatka when
it is grown right is seen in the results
attained by w. A. Walton. Mr..
Walton had two beds of celery. From
the first covering just one-siXth of
an acre he shipped l29 crates two
weeks ago. These I29 crates netted
him just $405.
From the second bed, just one-half
acre, he shipped on Tuesday last 80
crates. These crates he sold at the
depot at 81 per crate, total of $500.
In other words from two-thirds of
an acre of Florida land, Farmer Wal
ton cleared the neat sum of $l,025.
Yes, It's all profit, for he sold let
tuce enough early in the season to
pay the entire running expenses of
his farm for the season.
He is now engaged in shipping his
potatoes, and these as well as his
heets are yet to be added to the profits
of bis 8 acre tract,

Wants Better Equipment.

At the meeting of the city council
on Tuesday night, Chas. E. Rowton,
the newly elected chief of the fire
department, presented communi-
cation urging the necessity of better
equipment for his department.
Chief Rowton does not make a
very fine showing for his department,
He SAWS the hose reels of Putnam
Alert, West End and Lightning Hose
Co.'S. are antiquated, heavy and un-
wieldy, and he wants the city to pur-
chase light, modern and easy running
wheels. He says the North End
hose reel can be made to serve with
some repairs. Chief Rowton also
recommends the purchase of cut of
nozzle for the company; 500 feet OF
new hose for the department, also
spanners, hydrant wrenches, etc. He
also recommends the removal of the
central station from its present de-
lapidated building on Reid street to
a point on Lemon street between
Third and Fifth streets.
Should the recommendations OF
Chief Rowton be acted upon the city
would have a well equipped fire de-
psrtment. The city needs just such
department, and the new chief is
going on the principle that what his
department needs is worth asking
for. His requests have been referred
to the proper committee for report at
next meeting.

OLD MAIDS ATTACK ROOSEVELT.

The Western New York Old Maids
convention opened yesterday in the
village of Pittsford. Miss Amelia
Higginson, the president, in her
opening address, said;
"President Roosevelt believes in
the rearing of large families. He
has right to his opinion, but when
he places childlessness in the same
category with criminal acts he goes
too far. The president is the father
of what we Americans would call a
large family. He is not the mother
of large family. We have heard
nothing about race suicide from the
mothers of America, and we never
shall.
"Let the president grappel with the
trusts, the tariff and the coming cleo
tion. They are more in his line. He
can safely leave the question of ba-
bies in the nands of the women of
this great republic.o

If BEN TILLMAN AND SENATOR

"If ever Ben Tillman and Senator
Clark of Arkansas, get into a hot de-
bate some of the bronze allegorical
figures of Capitol Hill are likely to

tween the two men is that Tillman is

uses II gun-while Clark stands pat
on u right swing that would knock a
bull down. 1t is understood he will
fight anything that walks in shoe

contempt for the pistol toter.
"While he was governor he got in
to controversy with Il high state
official and the controversy finally
narrowed down to II question of We
racity between them. Clark hunted
him up, got him in a corner and spat
in his face There was much talk of
duel, which the governor laughed

would "boX the jaws" of any man
