Failed to Qualify.

Party prohibitionists, of whom
there are a few in this county and
quite a number in the state, have
been wondering why the presidential
electors of that party do not appear
on the state ticket to be voted for
next Tuesday.
The answer has just been made
plain from Tallahassee.
The managers of the party in
Florida failed to certify their nom-
nations to the secretary of state as
required by law.
This neglect on the part of the
party's managers is going to prove a
serious disappointment to many con-
scientious voters, who regard the
outlawry of the liquor traffic as the
first duty of the state, and who be-
Iieve it can be accomplished in no
other way than through the success
of party committed to that meas

Vote For Judge Rowton.

Justice G. 1. Rowton is the demo-
cratic candidate for Justice of the
Peace for District No. s, which in
cludes the city of Palatka and town
of Palatka Heights.
Justice Rowton, now well along in
years, has served rs justice of the
peace here for many yeas. He has
the reputation of being one of the
most careful, conscientious justices
of the peace in the state of Florida.
He is a kindly disposed, benevolent
gentlemen with an innate love of
justice. He tries to meet out justice
tempered with mercy in his court.
No one has every questioned his in
tegrity. He should have not only
the full support of the democratic
party but many individual republic
licans will count it a privilege to
vote for him.
Justice RowtOn has opposition. A
strong effort is to be made to defeat
him. The negro vote, which is to be
massed against him, will go solidly
for Jno. f. Marshall the republican
candidate, and who, by the way is
the only republican candidate to run
for any office in the county.
1t is going to take the full demo-
cratic vote to elect Justice Rowton,
and for this reason the News urges
upon democrats that they turn out in
force next Tuesday.

The Confederate Bazaar.

The supper and bazaar given by
the ladies of Patton Anderson chap

mense success. Everybody went.
At $3.50 there was scarcely elbow
room in the big hall So great was
the crush at the tables that the pro-
visions gave out soon after six. The
supper was excellent, but the ladies
hadn't anticipated such tremen-
dous crush, aud there wasn't enough
of it. The chapter realized $l24.05
from the event.
Miss May RogerO won the prize

This little German says he met a
man on the G. S. d F. train the other

Rev. MIR. Mabry's Lecture

Heroes and Hero Worship" was
the subject of an eloquently deliver
ed and deeply interesting lecture at
Fry's opera house last Tuesday night
by Rev w. f. H. Mabry. The lee
ture had been advertised for Monday
night, but owing to inclement wealth
er had to be postponed.
The attendance was good, though
many who had intended going, did
not learn of the postponement and
were disappointed.
Mr.. Mabry is an eloquent orator, is
popular in Palatka, and his lecture
of Tuesday enhanced the public ap-
probation in which he is held here.

1t is necessary for the best inter-
ests of the public schools of many
counties of Florida that the proposed
constitutional amendment to section

coming election. This proposed
amendment provides for an addition

taxable property FOR school purposes,
which if carried, would increase the
school fund in Putnam county about
$4,000 per annum, thereby enabling
us to have "A six months school term

given at the Arlington last Saturday
night, to which the children of Mr..
and Mrs. Allen had invited about 30
of their young friends. The parlor
was handsomely decorated for the
occasion, where'a number of games
were played, and then all hands
went to the dining room, where the
old time Snap Shot Dragon was
uproariously INDUCED in. Then re-
freshments were served to all the
young people. A little later, near
the midnight hour, the "spook" duly
entered the now darkened room.

the affair a most successfully man.

OUR NEXT GOVERNOR.
Napoleon Ii. BrOward Addressed
A Big Crowd at the Court
House IaSL/Friday Night.

AAONHO lStSb &NtE
Hon. Napoleon b. Broward, demo-
cratic candidate for, and by virtue
of such candidacy the next governor
of Florida, arrived in the city on
train 35 over the Atlantic Coast
Line R'y., last Friday afternoon, and
from the time he stepped foot on
Palatka's soil until his departure,
he was the guest of Putnam's democ-
racy in general and Congressman
Robert w. Davis in particular.
Congressman Davis, Joseph Price,
F. J. Fearnside, Judge NJ, /. Coke,
and w, A. Russell met the distin-
guished guest at the depot and es-
corted him to the Arlington hotel,
where an informal reception was
held. During this reception Mr..
Broward personally met a great
many of our citizens. If the meet
ing was productive of no other i'm
preston on his mind it at least gave
him to understand that he could
count on the loyalty of the Davis
brand of democracy, and that while
Putnam didn't bunch its votes for
him to an alarming extent in the
primary, the county of Congressman
Davis will'b with him next Tuesday
with a rush.
AT the court house meeting Chair
man Joseph Price of the county
committee called upon Congressman
Rob't. w. Davis to preside. Before
taking the chair Mr.. Davis made a
speech.
Mr.. Davis speech was character
istic. 1t was such a speech as would
4 have made a Philistine feel secure
in the camp of the Israelites. 1t
was a pledge of democratic loyalty
in Putnam, and an appeal to the au-
dance on the order of, "inasmuch IS
you do it unto this, my brother
Broward, you'll be doin' it unto me,
yet" Mr.. Davis urged full demo-
cratic vote from President to Justice
of the Peace for District No 8. and
on the latter office he laid special
stress. Then he introduced the
speaker of the evening.
Mr.. Broward by this time felt
easy. He felt that he was among
his own people So he sailed in and
made as good a talk as he knew how.
He is not silver tongued orator, and
his language wouldn't read gram
matically smooth if reduced to type,
but he said things that sounded SEN
sible TO democratic ears, and left his
audiance with the impression that
when he was once glued to the gov
euor's chair he would do his part to-
ward giving the state an honest and
stable administration.
Mr.. Broward was frequently APP
tplauded.

HOSTING ROPES.
the Threads of Wire Upon Witch
So Many Lives Daily Depend.

So Many Lives Daily Depend,
While the longest ropes are used for
hauling purposes, some of the most IN
seresting data In connection with wire
ropes are obtained with their use for
hosting purposes. Hundreds of thou
sands of lives are literally each day
hung by a small wire thread as the
men are lowered into and hOisted from
the bowels of the earth. and in many
cases the only means of communication
between the surface and the under
ground workings, which are from
few feet to mile in depth, is by
comparatively small hoistlng rope.
Think of hanging from the end OF ca
BILE only u few inches in diameter and
a mile long, being holsted at a rate
which Is faster than that of the aver
age railroad train, and some idea of the
hoistlng problem can be gained. To
the honor of the wire rope manufactur-
ers 1t must be said that very few shaft
accidents are due TO the breaking of
the rope, excepting where the cage is
overwound and unwarranted demands
are made upon the rope or which are
traceable to false economy on the part
OF the users of wire rope. No part of
a mining plant is more carefully In
spected and watched than the hosting
rope, and very few mine managers will
take any unnecessary risks in the
hosting of men. The skill of the wire
rope maker is taxed to the utmost to
provide ropes for hosting from great
depths. To make rope of practicable
size that will be sufficiently flexible
and that will bear even its own weight
Is no mean problem, for In such cases
the weight of the rope is often much
more than the material lifted; hence
we have taper rope intended to give
varying section dependent on the
amount of rope of the drum or reel

Mr. Holtzman's campaign followers to the
verge of nervous prostraton, are running
wide open. Sundays as we'll as week days.

mayor has accepted the Journals state
ments as true and promised prosecutions
under the evidence submitted by the re-
porters Of this newspaper. But the Journal
wishes to disclaim any wish TO act Mr..

months go by the Journal finds nothing
to regret in the fact that it is in no wise
responsible for the present reform admin
istration. This newspaper has called at

spencer's Service to Christianity.

Whatever just criticisms may be made against
the agnosticism OF Mr. Herbert Spencer and his
school, IL is certain that these have put
our Christian faith under a vast obligation in
showing how ilimtabe the universe and
its problems, how profound the mysteries or
mind and matter and Providence which
cended any cheap and easy explanations. They
enlarged by their scientific explorations the
sphere OF cosmical study until we all stood
struck before the surprising and inexplicabe
wonders of nature. Such Creator
there manifested is evidently not to be cramped

tons
Henry Ward Beecher once spoke of the Deity
in these significant and true words: THE i'm

human thought. The attributes are but ALPHA

But the greatness, the scope, the majesty, the
variety that is in Him cannot compute 1t
