Bright Outlook For St. Marks.

st. Marks church enters upon its
third year under the rectorship of
Rev. F. H. Richey in better condition
numerically and financially than for
years past. Believing the church is
one in which the people of Palatka
as whole are interested, the pres
ent rector has always striven to keep
the standard of services up to a high
average. He has done much for the
parish. Through his family in the
north he has secured funds to build
the baptistry. The altar and chan
eel furnishings have been furnished
through him, while the handsome
altar lights are memorials, one set
to the memory of Mrs. Haughton's
son, the other to the infant daughter
of the rector, whose sad death oc-
cured last November. Proper vest
ments for the minister have been Sc
cured through his efforts, and the
church buildings, including church,
Sunday school building, rectory and
residence held for rental, have all
been put in thorough repair. The
organ has twice been overEauled,
and the music, through his efforts,
has been of high order, A number
of musical services were held during
the past winter which were beauti-
fully rendered and of value in bring
ing the people in closer touch social
ly with the churchs influence. The
old Indebtedness has been wiped
out and funds for running expenses
increased.
The work of building up the parish,
Mr.. Richey says, has not been with
out its difficulties. The population
of the city is continually changing
and among the young members of the
church there have been many re-
movals.
The great number of services now
held during the year are so arranged
as to give every one an opportunity
of attending service and taking part
in the active church life of the par
ish. The rector breaches twice every
Sunday, at II a. IN. and at 7:3O p. m.,
and he invites one and all to come
and take part in the service.
Many bereavements have come to
Mr.. Richey during the past year, but
through them all he emerges un-
daunted in his purpose to make ST.
Marks parish vital force in the
moral and spiritual life of Palatka,
and all good people, of whatever de-
,nominational preferences, are with
him.

No Boycott On.

A reader of the News from a west
county precinct writes to ask the
editor "if it is fact that any Palatka
merchants are boycotting the News
on account of the position it took in
the wet or dry election?'
For the benefit of our enthusiastic
prohibition reader the News is pleas
ed to say that any such rumor is alb
solutely without foundation, as a
look at the advertising columns of
this paper will show.
Boycott means "a concerted ab-
stinence from business relations" !"
1t is true that several merchants
in Palatka do not now and never
have advertise din the News. That
is their business. But there is no
concerted action based on the paper's
opposition to the licensed saloon.
The business men of Palatka are
not built on such narrow lines.
There is one firm in the city that
the News has evidence to show does
not advertise with it on account of
that position. But that is also the
privilege of the firm thus abstaining,
and one that this paper would be the
last to deny.
The News has white constituency
of readers that it is very proud Of.
Any merchant has the right to neg
lect appeals to this constituency who
chooses. He manages his business
to suit himself and allows this paper
to do the same.
A comparison with the last pub
lished and official list of the quail
fled voters of Putnam county, after
eliminating the negroes, shows that
there are but 156 white qualified
voters in the county who do not
take the Palatka News. In addition
to these we have our full share of
negro subscribers. The News takes
the position that any merchant who
chooses to neglect the subscribers on
that list in his appeals for trade
looses heap more than this paper.
And yet space in the Palatka News
costs money.

rSe-Houe Lots Vacant

cinct show a total of l02 votes OF
which "a were wet and 8 were dry
Take out the IL white voters and the
six who voted dry in this election
and you still have black majority
of "a for the sale of liquor in this one
ward, majority of 81 more than the
total wet majority in the county.
But this is only one of the negro
precincts.
Thus you have it:
The negro dictates the moral atti-
tude of Putnam county.
The News is informed by those in
position to form a correct estimate
that not above 20 negroes in the
whole county voted the dry ticket.
This paper is proud of its position
in this campaign. 1t has never been
able to see how anything morally
wrong could be legally right. The
News took the stand it believed to
be right, and in its temporary defeat
it suffers no remorse of conscience.
1t has performed its duty as best it
could.
1t bears no ill-will to any man. 1t
wants prosperity and progress to
make its permanent home in Palat-
ka and Putnam county. 1t believes
these things would come quicker
and in more enduring form unimped-
ed by whisky, and is happy in the
knowledge that it has the support of
the large majority of its white fellow
citizens in Putnam county.
The County Commissioners meet
to-day and with Supervisor Peter
mann will canvass the returns. 1t is
not thought that the canvass will
show any material change from the
result announced above.

Pres. Brown Win Not RESIGN.

We take pleasure in announcing to
the public that Col. Thos. j. L.
Brown, president of the State Fair
Association at Tampa, has reconsid-
cred and withdrawn his resignation
from that position, and is now de-
termined to work harder than ever
for the success of the great State
Fair to be held November 15 to 80.
Col. Brown has successfully manag-
ed the magnificent Tampa Bay hotel
several years, and although his bid
was the highest the board of public
works of Tampa leased it to other
parties, making it necessary for Col.
Brown to go to New York to take
up business propositions awaiting
him. However, in view of the great
amount of money already spent in
promoting the movement and in
view of he fact that hundreds Of
friends throughout the state have
requested him to remain, Col Brown
win do 50, and respectfully requests
the entire state to give hearty sup
port to the movement. Everybody
should feel an interest in aud work.
for the success of the fair.

That Misleading Telegram.

Last Friday, before Judge Wills
at Starke, proceedings were taken to
squelch the negro vote that had
been specially qualified by the liquor
men to vote in the wet and dry cleo
ton. Knowing that it was mat
ter in which the public was inter
ested the News arranged for a tele-
gram announcing the judges decis-
ion. That telegram came at 4p. m.
and this paper was held open to that
hour. The telegram stated that
Judge Wills holds" and it was but
natural this paper should think that
what "the judge held" was on the
matter under dispute. There was no
explanation to the telegram that
would indicate otherwise.
The victory belongs to Capt. f..
Noble Calhoun,
Attorney Robinson had filed suit
in chancery for mandatory .injunc-
tiOn to prevent the tax collector from
certifying to the supervisor of regis
tration a list of poll taxes paid SUBJ
sequent to August 18th.
Mr.. Calhoun filed demurrer to the
bill on the ground that the bill was
without equity. Capt. Calhoun's de-
murrer was sustained and the bill
dismissed for the reason that the
work sought to be enioined had al
ready been performed, and for the
further reason that there is no law
to prevent the tax collector from
certifying poll taxes at any time of
the year he chooses.
After the dismissal of the case and
while the parties at interest were in
conversation with Judge Wills, that
gentleman told Collector Willard
that only those who were qualified
in the general election of 1904, could
legally vote in the wet or dry cleo
tion. That such election was not a
special election, but general cleo
tion under article 10 of the constitu-
ton.
1t was on this information that
Supervisor Petermann acted, and
thus, in roundabout way was
brought to pass even more than
what the dry attorney, in his series
of "chump" acts, sought to accomp-
lish.
Had those for whom poll taxes
have been paid during the past two
months been allowed to vote the
election would have been invalidat-
ed, no matter which way it had gone.
