JUDGE LYNCH.

/ The recent lynchings Of negroes in
Illinois. Indiana and Delaware are a
disgrace TO these states, and to the
republic. The East doesn't look any
more favorable for these states be-
cause their press has been prompt and
vigorous in denouncing the attitude of
1.-THE south toward the negro. The
Treatment OF the negro by the south
may be in individual cases u%npardon-
able, but the treatment Of this unfor-
%tunate by the north is infinitely worse.
THE north hates the negro, while 1t
|pretends to believe In his equality.
The south has q sort Of disregard FOR
him, but denies him any social or po-
|litical recognition. The problem is a
serious one, but the south has come
nearer TO a solution than the north.
certainly the time has passed when
the "holier than thou people north OF

The Massachusetts Medical society
is moving to secure legislation for the
protection Of the confidential relations
between physician and patient. The
lawyer and clergyman now have the
protection Of the law for their pro
fessional secrets against the questions
OF examining counsel, and the argu-
ment Is that the consultation and con
fidential conference between the doc
TOR and his patient. which the law
does not protect. should be held equal

Big Cattle Deal.

One OF the biggest cattle deals
made in this county in recent times
was consumnated in this city last
Monday.
This deal was the purchase of all
the cattlJ belonging to Capt. John b.
Hazel of Orange Mills by Chas. E..
Thigpin and Silas Smith of this city.
The number of head cannot be ac-
curateIy stated, but the number will
run between 1900 and 1900 and the
price paid for the entire herd was
$4,000.
Capt. Hazel states that he is get
ting along in years and that he
wanted to retire and take some COM
fort. This he can we'll do for he is
reputed to be worth something like
100000.
Messrs. Thigpin and Smith will
engage even more extensively in the
cattle business than was Capt. Ha-
eel. Mr.. Thigpen already owned
over 800 head at the time of this pur-
chase.
d 1t is the purpose of the new firm
to round up the beef cattle and place
them on the market at once.

VIII Ask for INJUNCTION.

Hon. Benz. P. Calhoun and Henry
Strunz, representing the Palatka
Water works Company, have served
notice on City Attorney 5. J. Hill
burn that they will, on the 25th inst ,
apply to the Judge of the United
States Circuit Court for prelimina-
ry injunction restraining the city OF
Palatka from enforcing the ordinance
which goes into effect October LIST,
reducing the water rates.
Should this injunction be granted,
testimony will be taken and the mat
ter in controversy will then be laid
before the judge to decide whether
or not he will make the temporary
injunction permanent.
Mayor Steen and President of the
Council, S. j. Kennerly, have been
served with notices of the suit.
1t is more than likely that the
prayed for temporary injunction will
be granted, but that order will not
cut any figure as to the merits of the
case. When the question comes VI
for final Indication there will be q
pretty legal battle.

To Pave lemon Street.

Mayor Steen appeared before the
city council last Tuesday evening in
advocacy of the immediate pavement
of Lemon street. The mayor spoke
in favor of macadam and thought
that with the old pavement as foun-
dation, a good road machine with
nacadam material would make a
suitable pavement. He spoke earn
estly and did not need to show the
necessity for the work. That much
was conceded. A committee consist
ing of Aldermen Points, Cartmel and
Gay was appointed to look into the
matter and report at the next meet
ing.
The council also fixed the annual
tax levy at Is mills, five being for the
fire and water fund and eleven for
the general fund.
