Model Drug Establishment.

Probably the most notable exam
pie in artistic store establishment
furnished in interior Florida is the
newly equipped and enlarged store
of the Ackerman-Stewart Drug COM
pany in this city.
For the first time in two months
this store is today rid of decorators
Their work is done and the public is
now rushing in to see the result.
The store now occupies the entire
ground floor of the Fry block, of
which three-fourths of the space is
taken up by the retail department
and prescription room.
The show windows are of single
plate glass, the floors of artistic TIL
ing, the ceilings of decorated steel,
the fixtures are of cherry and the
show cases of uniform height and all
of plate glass of the style known as
silent statesmen.
The store is II magnificent speci-
men of modern decorative art, and
all Palatka feels Il pride in it.
The Ackerman-Stewart company
is one of the widest known drug
houses in the state, and aside from
its retail business, enjoys a large
iobbing trade throughout Florida.
This department occupies one-fourth
of the ground floor of Fry block, two
rooms up stairs, Il large sized store
room adjoining on Front street, be-
sides n warehouse.
The business was established in
1876 by the late F. d. Alderman and
J. f. q l.. F. "a ksoa, the last named
of whom is president OF the new
company.
The present company, composed
of l.. +. jackson, Mrs. F. ID. Ackpr-
man and ID. w. RamSaur, succeeded
to the business this summer, and
Immediately set about making the
improvements which are shown to-
day.
NJ. w. Stewart, who was of the
company since late in the SOS, sold
his interests to the present company
this summer.
IfvOu haven seen the new store of
the Ackerman-Stewart Co do so at
once, aud then step up to one of the
company and tell him what you
think of it.

DEMOCRATS
ARE KICKING
But too Late for Profitable
Indulgence.

A number of leading democratic
citizens and prominent party work
ers as we'll as officials of the city ana
county are greatly worried at the
large number of negro poll taxes that
have been paid by the liquor men
with the purpose of carrying the
county wet" at the election next
Tuesday.
They now see that it will be an
easy matter for the republicans to
carry the city and county in the cleo
tions which will occur next spring
and fall.
With the negro poll taxes paid,
Palatka and Putnam county, as well
as n score of other counties in the
state, would be naturally republican.
True, poll taxes would have to be
paid for these negroes again next
year, but the liquor men have reduc-
ed the cost of carrying the city and
county republican by just one-half.
They have advanced every purchas-
able negro just one year on the poll
tax list.
Several county officials have eX-
pressed themselves on this point and
they are greatly worried. They may
well be.
Democrats OF. the county whose
memory carries them back to the
days of republican rule and negro
domination in this county and city,
will also be worried. They will re-
member somewhat Of the cost in
money and time and personal sacri-
flee it required to secure white supre-
macy.
They will remember somewhat OF
the humiliation which was theirs at
that time in seeing the negroes and
carpet baggers in control OF the city
and county governments.
The News would remind these
same democrats also that white SUI
premacy has been placed in jeopardy
in this year of grace, 1905, by the Ii
quor interests of Putnam county.
And it would ask those of them
who are thinking of casting their vote
for the "wets" next Tuesday how
they enjoy the prospect of their line
up with this dissolute rabble of fast
blacks and
What they really, down in theil
democratic hearts, think of any cause
which depends for its success on es-
pousal by this brand o. cattle?
Is this the time when the black re.
publican lion and the white demo
cratic lamb shall lie down together
and Il little booze shall lead them ?

Child Fatally Burned.

The little daughter of Henry
North of West Tocoi was fatally
burned last Sunday while igniting a
fire in the kitchen store preparatory
to getting the noon day meal.
She was pouring kerosene oil on
the fuel when the bottle containing
the oil exploded, covering the child
with the burning oil. Mr.. North
rushed to the assistance of his
daughters, using every known means
to extinquish the flames which en-
veloped her. By the time his efforts
were crowned with success the child
was so badly burned that she died
after twenty-four hours of terrible
agony, despite all efforts to relieve.
Mr.. North was also painfully
burned as result of his efforts to
save his daughters. The entire COM
munity of that section are extending
sincerest sympathy with the be-
reaved family.

Death of q Well-Known
Minister.

The Southern Presbyterian of the
l4th inst. contains the following
obituary notice on the death Of Rev.
j. A. Kimmons, q venerable clergy
man OF the Presbyterian faith, we'll.
known to many Palatkans and the
people throughout the state:
Fourscore years and one has been
the life of this venerated and below
ed servant of God. For more than
fifty-two years, he has preached the
Gospel, first in the Mississippi val
ley and later in Florida. Though a
native of Cabarrus county, n. C., his
education was in Indiana, at Hano-
yer College, and at the New Albany
Theological Seminary. He was or
dained by the Presbytery of Chicka-
saw, April 20, 1858. His pastorates
We're at Raleigh, Tenn, at Corinth,
Miss, at Sanford and at Reddick in
Florida. And he maintained his ac-
tivity in ministerial work almost to
the end of life. He died on Thurs
day last, September I, at his home at
Live Oak, Fla.
Fifty years in the active work of
preaching. Whata privilege! How
many opportunities of helping God s
children to greater heights of privi-
lege! How many converted souls
shall shine as stars in his crown.
Fifty years of preaching. How
many cares does it include. How
many plans for the salvation of this
one or the reclamation of another?
And how many earthly disappoint-
ments! But in heaven he learns
that not one effort in those fifty
years has been in vain.

card indicates that he is getting all
the enjoyment he went after.
