WHITE MAN FOUND DEAD In THE WOODS
Papers Person Showed That He Was W. E. Reve of Worth
County, County Saturday Spent the Night
With Negroes Was Prominent Naval Operator.

The body OF an unknown white man
was found by Judge }. 81. Kelly early
Sunday morning lying In strip OF
woods near the pub bile road about three
miles south of Herod. In the mans
forehead was bullet wound, showing
that he had met tragic death.
Judge Kelley notified Sheriff Chris
tie and Coroner Lewis, and these off
GERS went down to hold an inquest and
investigate the affair.
Papers found on she dead man show
ed that he was w. E. Reville of Sylves-
ter in Worth county, and an investiga.
ton brought out the further fact that
he had come from there Saturday and
spent the night at the home of Melton
Johnson, a negro.
The following jury was organized for
the purpose of holding an inquest: W.
r. Hill, foreman; Fl. p. Hass, j. II.
Kelley, John Ferguson, W. F. McRee
and DR.. Il. Rsuch. The witnesses be-
fore the jury were four negroes, Mel
ton johnson, his wife and little son
and Lula Robinson. Their testimony
was to>the effect that Reville arrived
at Johnson's house Saturday afternoon
and paid him ST. so to go to the Huson
place and bring the Robinson woman,
who had formerly been in Reville's
employ in Worth county, to him.
Reville and the woman spent the night
at Johnson's home, and Sunday morn
ing the stranger paid johnson another
81 SO to bring him to Dawson. They
came but a short distance of the
way, however, when Reville got out of
the buggy and returned to the house,
where he remained but few minutes
before leaving again. A short while
afterwards, according to their story
they heard pistol shot, and suspect
ing that something was wrong sent for
Judge Kelley, who, soon after his ar
rival, found Reville's body in a strip
of woods near ChIckasawhatchee
creek turnpike about $50 yards from
Johnson's home and so yards from
the road. There was bullet wound
in his forehead, and he held in his
right hand a pistol with one ball dis
charged and had another pistol in his
pocket. He was identified by tax
receipts. business letters and post
office receipts for registered letters
that were found on him. The pOstot
fee receipts we're for registered let
tiers that had been mailed by him to
the Robinson woman, and letter that
she had written to him was also found
among his effects.
The following letter, which was
pmong the papers and addressed to
Reville's business associate, indicates
that he committed suicide, but there
are some who do not accept this
theory, and believe that he was foully
dealt with:

Saturday one OF severed .presi-

district of another Parker club.
Mayor Mercer knew nothing of the
meeting, was not even invited TO it,

Parkers candidacy. He does not, in
fact. prefer Judge Parker to Mr..

COUNTRY MEAT ON SALE.
Terrell County Farmers Have
Overlooking Smoke Houses.

There is NO country meat being Of
fered for sale in Dawson this spring
than has been known in many years.
Nearly every grocery merchant has
country hams or shoulders in stock.
1t is a good sign to see so much
country raised meat for sale in the
stores of the city, for 1t shows that the
farmers have not only made enough
for their own use, but have some to
spare. 1t is one of the best and sure
est signs of prosperity when a county
becomes self-supporting.
1t is step towards independence
whenever farmer brings a ham or
shoulder to sell in town.

JOE MARINER GOT
ANOTHER MANS BRIDE

STOCKTON, October I7-Joseph A.
Mariner, former Sfocktonian who has
also made his home in Honolulu and at
San Francisco, figures IL rather inter
esting little romance at St. Louis. Cards
have Just been received here announcing
his wedding to Miss Katherine Lair,
hut they do not Civ. any intimation of
the fact that George Wilkins, Louis.
vile musician. had purchased a license
last July to wed The former Miss Lair,
but had been too busy with his fddiing
to have the ceremony performed. Mar
iner was more insistent and succeeded
in having her journey from her home
in Louisville to St Louis to have the
marital knot tied.
It was on September 2oth that she
went from her home to ST. Louis to see
the fair, and Mariner went with her to
the exposition that day. Before they
returned to her aunt's house that after
noon size was Mrs Mariner. The couple
were sid sweethearts, and so,s when
Wilkins applied himself more devoutly
to fiddling than to lovemaking, she look
ed vita favor on Mariner, with whom
she Fad been in correspondence. Shr
thought that she would teach her lag
garI lover lesson, and, as he allowed
y marriage license that he had secured
July to wear itself out in his pocket
.he rebelied and consented to wed Mar
iner, who is also quite musician, but
also very much of lover.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mariner are residing
at 3628 Washington boulevard, ST. Louis
After the ceremony had been performed
she telegraphed the violinist Wilkins
You've fddled away your bride
Congratulate me as Mrs. Joseph A,

That was. the rude awakening fol

dence to find the same news there, ant

NOT JEALOUSY, BUT JUSTICE

Because Palatka a, Gainesville,
Ocala and other interior cities" of
Florida have filed protest with the
state railroad commission against
discriminating freight rates which
favor Jacksonville, the Evening Me-
tropolis of that city, with its custom
airy narrow view of affairs, has seen
fit to charge the protesting cities
with being jealous of Jacksonville's
prosperity.
The charge is not only undeserved
but unkind 1t is also untrue.
There isn't city in the state that
does not instinctively lift its munich
pal chapeau in admiration for the
progressive spirit which animstes
the business men of Florids's lead
ing commercial city. The work of
Capt. Garner and his compatriots on
the Jacksonville board OF trade ia
not only read by all men in these sin
terror cities" but held up by their
press and people as examples worthy
of all emulation.
We are proud of jacksonville; OF
that public spirit in its citizenship
which causes it to surmount all OBJ
stacles in the path of progress. We
are even willing that it should con-
tinue for all time to be the leading
city in our state, both in population
and commercial Importance. But
We are not willing to sit idle and
witness such commercial supremacy
built and maintained by unfair ad-
vantage and at the expense of inter
ior cities, without protest. When a
merchant doing business 10 miles
from Palatka can secure better
freight rates by purchasing in Jack
sonville, 20 miles away, it is time to
kick"

Grand jury Presentment.s.

The grand jury impaneled for the
Putnam Circuit Court last week was
discharged by Judge Wills on Thurs
day evening. Just prior to its dis
charge the jury made the following
presentments to the court:
Hon. JAMES T. WILLS, Circuit
Judge.
Sir:-Your grand jury understand
that general presentments are not a
matter of necessity, but there are
some few matters coming under our
consideration and knowledge of coun-
| ty affairs, as to which We desire to
| express our views and recommended
| tions.
First. We recommend the build
ing of a new court house in accord
! ance with the financial ability OF
Putnam county and in keeping with
the march of progress. We regard
| the court house as building that De-
longs to all the people of Putnam
county.
Second. We most earnestly eX-
press ourselves in favor of building
hard roads from all populous sections,
of our county to trade centres. and
we call upon the county commission
ers to take every possible measure ii
reason to carry into effect this mat
ter by taxation, bonding, or other
wise. The road working done anc
being done is good, but should bt
added to and improved as above sug
gested.
Third. We find that magistrates
and justices of the peace are appar'
) entity exceedingly careless in thu
management and investigation o
cases for the grand jury, and blnt
over very many unnecessary witness
es at much and unnecessary cost t.
the state and county, excepting tina
p it gives us pleasure to refer, to tn
painstaking care and general excel
tence of the work sent up by the Jus
}, tice of the peace of the Sth District

so SAY WE ALL OF US.

First. We recommend the build
ing of new court house in accord
ance with the financial ability OF
Putnam county and in keeping with
the march of progress
The above is the first of three rec
concentrations made in its present
ment by the grand jury in the Put
nam circuit court last Thursday.
1t is certainly hopeful sign of the
times when a grand jury of its own
volitiou tumbles to the fact that the
county, while financially able, is
tagging in the march of progress so
noticeable in every other county in
the state.
The Putnam court house is a dis
grace to the county and constitutes
the laughing stock of an entire state
1t has done more than any other
one eye-sore (unless it be our anti.
uuated street car system) to make
Palatka notorious for dilapidation.
Putnam county, ranking ninth il
wealth and prOductiveness among
the fOrty-five counties of Florida, is
a tail-ender in the "march Of pro
gress." 1t is the only county in th'
entire state without a modern court
house.
1t is to be hoped the hint of thu
grand jury will be taken seriously by
the board of county commissioners
and that that body will take meas
ures looking toward the erection of {
court house sin accordance with on
financial ability and in keeping will
the march of progress
