The groves of Frank Buck and
Rev. j. L. French. both under the
care OF Blaine SILVER, present very
pretty appearance these days. Both
groves have been we'll cultivated
and the trees have made great
growth. The same is also true of
of the big 3O-acre grove of L. A.
Hurlbut, in the same neIghborhood.
Mrs. S. L. Benham and daughter,
Miss Stella, arrived on Thursday

Atlanta wholesale house and Miss
Mamie Lee Benham has accepted a
position in large millinery house

tween the clubs of Moccasin Branch

young men who expect to represent

The larger part of the pipe for the
gas mains has arrived and in Il week

What q Wet Precinct MeanC.

There is no longer any question as
to the full meaning of the local OPP
tion law of the state regarding the
status of precincts that vote wet
in counties that have decided in ia
vor of the sale of liquor.
Soon after the News made it's first
statement regarding this law, the
correctness of its view was denied by
the attorney for the Palatka liquor
dealers. But that attorney has not
published such as his opinion, Meth
er will be do so. In fact he has ad-
mitted to several people that "tlrere
is a doubt" The attorney for
the Palatka liquor dealers S
"a good lawyer. He does not pub
lish opinions over his own sigma
tGre that he is not willing to stand
by. You can buy his legal service,
but you cannot pay him to give an
opinion at variance with the law.
Now the people of Crescent City do
not want a saloon in this precinct.
Even those who are in favor of legal
izing saloons in Palatka, draw the
dry line when it comes to the ques-
ton of bar for Crescent City.
The News wants to say most en-
phatically to all such that
If Putnam county goes wet in this
election and precinct No. goes wet,
there is no legal power under heaven
that can keep anyone from opening
IA saloon here, provided he measures
up to the legal requirements.
What are the legal requirements?
Section 1920 of the local option law
says:
Nothing in this chapter shall be
construed to authorize said board
[meaning the board of county COM
missionersl to refuse such permit
when the applicant is 81 years of age,
sober, law abiding and of good char
acter.n
There is 40 other ground of protest.
It won't do then to say Crescent City
doesn't want the saloon. 1t will not
be town matter. 1t will be a pre-
cinct matter, and the precinct by
voting wet will have already opened
its doors. No petition will be need
ed, or required. When the precinct
votes Il majority for wet it has re-
moved the necessity for the petition.
Here is the law. 1t is as plain as the
nose on your face:
1911. 1864 License TO be granted
where majority vote for sale.-lf such
county at such election votes in favor
of the sale of such liquors, within
such county, then any person or per-
sons in any precinct which at said
county election voted in favor of the
sale of such liquors, paying the proper
license tdx to the proper officer in said
county shall have granted to him
proper license for selling such liquor in
such precinct.
The News is aware of the fact that
good men in this precinct have
taken an opposite view of the law.
They we're reading the law Intended
for counties where no election has
been held.
Had this election not been called
