On Death Of Their Leader.

The late Mrs. E. j. Gates was pres
ident of the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union of this city and as
such was an active force in the work
of the union. At q meeting of that
organization recently the following
resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, in the providence of God,
our beloved leader, Mrs. E. J. Gates,
has been removed from our midst
and whereas
We, the members of the WOman's
Christian Temperance Union of Pal
atka sorely feel the loss of our
faithful sister, be it
Resolved, that in her death we
have lost one who was willing to
serve her Lord and Master even unto
death, and
Resolved, that in her death the
union has sustained an irreparable
loss, but that we will consider her
life and example an incentive to
labor more strenuously in the Chris
tian life and particularly in the
cause of temperance in which she
showed such zeal,
Resolved, that the heartfelt SYM
pathy of our union be extended to
the bereaved husband and children,
and that our prayers be offered that
their sorrowing hearts may be COM
forted, and be it
Resolved, that copy of these res
olutions be sent to her family, to the
Palatka papers and also placed on
the minutes of the w. G. T. U.
Signed by the committee:

Inmned His Bond.

NJ. c. Cooper, a negro of Crescent
City, held to the grand jury in the
sum of $500 for assault with intent to
murder, and against whom an in
dictment was returned charging ag-
gravated assault, has jumped his
bond.
Cooper came to the city on Mon
day morning for the purpose of at
tending court. That night he looked
upon and fingered too long at the
booze. He got joyously, gloriously
drunk. 1t is claimed that he had
something over $50 in money on his
person when he entered upon this
state of inebriated bliss and that
when he came out of the trance the
roll of greenbacks had melted to al
most nothing. He has not been
seen here since Tuesday morning.
G. H. Preston and James Padgett,
ir., of Crescent City are on Cooper's
bond and unless the negro is pro-
duced these gentlemen will have
that amount of money to pay.
Cooper is an Industrious negro
contractor for getting out logs, whose
chief falling is a tendency to get
drunk often and when in this condi-
ton he gets ugly with his neighbors.

Robt. w. Davis Here.

Hon. Robt. w. Davis of Tampa
has been here this week attending
court and was the guest of his
daughter, Mrs. A. S. Willard.
This was Judge Davis first return
visit to Palatka since he moved to
Tampa early in the summer. But
there is reason and not neglect in
that fact. Mr., Davis law firm has
been crowded with work all summer
and he has been a very busy man.
Tampa has adopted him and taken
him to its bosom just as he was held
here in Palatka. Today, after res
idence of but three months in that
hustling city of $4,000 inhabitants, he
is recognized as a leader in the ac-
tivities which are making for Tam
pas future commercial supremacy
in Florida and the south.
Only last Monday Mr.. Davis was
made chairman of the sub-commit-
tee of the board of trade which is to
visit Washington and New York to
present Tampa's protest to recent
injurious publications made in the
United States Tobacco Journal and
which will be presented to Secretary
Shaw of the treasury department.
Mr.. Davis law practice, already
large, is constantly growing and is
making him u prominent figure in
the courts of the state. Last week
his professional duties took him to
the Pasco circuit court and his pres
ence there was the occasion for the
following complimentary notice in
| the Dade City Democrat:
"Hon Robert w. Davis, of Tampa,
spent Tuesday and Wednesday here,
representing the inrerests of his eli
ents. Colonel Davis is a lawyer Of
decided ability and great talents, as
an advocate he is almost peerless, as
q friend none was ever truer or more
loyal. In every position that he has
occupied he has honored the place,
whether between the plow handles,
in the court room, in the speakers
chair or in the halls of congress, in
the midst of battle or in convention
he has shown himself equal to the
position and in each and all he has
reflected honor upon himself and up
on the station. Having retired from
the political arena it is his purpose
to devote all of his time, energies
and talents to the practice of his pro-
fession and we feel cure that with
his transcendent ability as a lawyer,
his practice will spread and grow un-
til it covers the entire sixth judicial
circuit"
Mr.. Davis presence in his old home
will always be pleasure to this
people; in fact Palatkans can scarce
reconcile themselves to the notion
that he is no longer q citizen of the
place. though they Will insist that he
always act the part-not a hard mat
ter for one who for over 20 years was
in such close touch with all the
people, including the children.

Has Popular approval.

The action of the bond trustees in
urging and of the city council in pas
sing an ordinance authorizing the
construction of a municipal water
system in this city is meeting such a
response of hearty approval as sell
dom follows official action. There
doesn't seem to be discordant note
in the entire city.
AS soon as City Engineer Lyon re-
turns from New York it is likely that
bids for construction will be asked
for. Now that the money is in the
hands of the city treasurer the bond
trustees will probably argue that
there is no reason to delay action,
and then there is the necessity for
haste in the fact that the streets can
not be aved until after this work of
construction has been completed.
And the people are demanding pave
ment.

was found gagged and bound to his
bed at an early hour in the morning,
pleaded guilty.
During yesterday many criminal
cases were tried, and all convicted
will probably be sentenced this after
noon or tomorrow. 1t is probable
that the term of court will continue

promised in the Hawaii Shinpo some
time ago on behalf of the thirty sue
cessful candidates of that papers vot-

Honolulu, November 1, 1905.
Editor Advertiser: L wish to correct
some of the inaccuracies of Representa-
tive Rice as printed in your Mondays
issue.
He states that the amendment to the
income tax act was passed by the
House and killed by the Senate. The
fact is that the law in question was
introduced by me in the Senate and
was for the purpose of making the in
come tax payable at the same time as
the property tax and it made no other
changes in the income tax law. 1t
was passed by the Senate on April Is,
1905. and sent to the House.
On April %, the next to the last day
of the session, the House returned the
bill with Mr.. Rice's amendment. the
Senate voted not to concur. A confer
ence committee consisting of the fol-
lowing members was appointed: Rep
