When two weeks ago half dozen
courthouse officials organized a water
melon club they little dreamed to
what proportions it would reach. Not
only the county officials, but all the
lawyers in town are now upon the
clubs list.
Doctors, merchants and even those
of less pretentious avocations go there
hungry daily, and are filled up and
made happy.
The club now numbers half hun
dred members, and the number of
melons sacrificed daily to fill the inner
man has caused a boom in the local
melon market.

TO LEASE STATE ROAD
Some Members Would Lease; Others
Sell The Road.

An important resolution has been
introduced in the senate providing
for the lease OF the Western and At
lantic railroad, which IS owned by the
state of Georgia, and which ls now
leased to the Nashville, Chattanooga
and ST. Louis railroad for thirty FIVE
thousand dollars per month, There is
great diversity of opinion as to the
state roa', as the Western and Atlantic
is called. Representative Conner of
Bartow wants to sell it. Representa-
tive Seaborn Wright of Floyd and
Representative Hooper Alexander of
D Kalb want to extend the road to the
see, while Senator McHenry thinks it
might be wise again to lease the road
for period of ninety-nine years.

The Palatka news. [volume] (Palatka, Fla.) 1905-1908, 1905-09-29

One Of the things which it seems
difficult for the public mind to grasp
is that there is decided difference be-
tween the knot and the mile 1t is
certainly about time to have 1t thor
oughly understood that the two are
not the same thing. 1t seems easy
enough to remember that mile is only
about 81 per cent of a knot, the latter
being approximately 60S2 feet in
length, while the statute mile measures
$3.50 feet. Three and one-half miles
are equal, within, "a small fraction, to
three knots. The result of this differ
ence, of course, is that the speed of Il
vessel In miles per hour is always con-
slderably larger than when stated in
knots, and the confusion of the terms
sometimes gives rise to rather remark
able claims Of speed performance.
When twenty knot ship, for example,
is lightly mentioned, it should be re-
membered that this really means q
little over twenty three miles. Similar
ly with higher figures, which are often
glibly enough stated, the difference be-
tween the terms is worth bearing in
mind. 1t will help to guard against
the forming Of ridiculous estimates Of
a vessels capabilities.

Cow Pony Ahead of Pilgrims,

The COW pony Is Of distinguished

among the Moors Of Barbary,. and his
pedigree reads back to the "Godolphin
Arabian" Innocently associated with
the Spanish invasion of Mexico his
race was already established on the
plains Of the southwest when the May
flower landed. In the centuries that
followed he conformed his nature to
the requirements of the plains until
he fitted them as the camel fits the
desert, and became so perfectly
adapted to the work of the cattle range
as to make it doubtful whether the
needs Of the cowboy evolved the cow
pony or the capacities Of the pony
produced the cowboy.-Country Life

Ancient bridge Superstition,

A primitive notion existed among the
Romans and other races that bridge
was an offense and injury to the river
god, as it saved people from being
drowned while fording or swimming
across and robbed the deity of certain
number of victims which were his due.
For many centuries in Rome propitia-
tory offerings of human victims were
made every year to the Tiber. Men
and women were drowned by being
bound and flung from the wooden Sub
lician bridge, which, till nearly the end
Of the republican period, was the one
and only bridge across the Tiber in
Rome.
