A Blind Tiger CaSed.

A genuine "blind tiger" was trapp
ed by Sheriff Howell last Sunday
night and is now in the cage up OF
Orange street known as the county
Jail.
The tiger was caught in the
juugles up near the Union Depot
He was selling "booze." He was
caught with the goods. He had a
United States revenue license, sign
ed by Joseph E. Lee, and this, un-
der the laws of Florida, is prima
facie evidence of guilt.
The tigers name is Eddie Slocum.
Eddie keeps joint-a "soiled dove
cote" He looks neat, but he is a
bad nigger for "he tolls not, neither
does he spin" He has following
of light ginger cake girls with him
and they were all at the court house
on Monday morning when Judge
Coke heard the case.
Eddie denied his guilt-says he
was only selling "HopoIine," =" which
he buys from G. G. Butler of Jack
sonville, and who insists that it is a
strictly temperance drink and one
that will speedily build up those
who are run down and who need q
tonic. But Sheriff Howell also found
a half-barrel full of pint beer bottles.
1t was real beer, though Eddie in
sisted that it, also, was hopoline.
Judge Coke bound Eddie over to
tie next term of circuit court in the
sum of $500, in default of which he
is in now jail.

Howell on this capture. 1t is not an
easy thing to capture even blind

Editor PALATKA NEWS

Editor PALATKA NEWS:
AS | am considered one of the
leaders of the opposition to the coun-
ty building a bridge across the st.
Johns river at Palatka, [ will ask a
little space in which to state my rea-
sons for opposing the bridge.
All monies that the county can
raise should be used where they will
be of most benefit to the whole
county.
The leading and most urgent de-
mand of the citizens throughout the
county for u number of years has
been for an improvement of our pub
lie roads.
The citizens should be the best
judges of what they need, and what
they want their money spent for.
| The county commissioners seemed
to understand what the people want
ed, for as soon as the legislature
gave them permission to transfer
certain surplus monies in the treas
ury, they Immediately transferred
these monies to the good roads
fund and commenced building the
Palatka-Interlachen hard road. This
action of the commissioners seemed
to meet the hearty approval Of all
citizens of the county, while practi-
cally everybody in the county recog-
nized the need of good roads, at the
same time nobody seemed to know
that we needed bridge at Palatka
until few weeks ago, when the Pa
latka board of trade informed us
that we needed the bridge. 1t is
true, Interlachen sent in weak pc
tition for the bridge ION condition
that it would not increase taxes,) but
Interlachen could afford to ask for
the bridge as she already has her
hard road.
1t looks like this bridge PROPOSE
ton is based on a fancy idea, or q
matter of local pride of the Palatka
board of trade, more than it is an
economic necessity.
A long span steel bridge that
would permit the hyacinths to float
down with the current would cost a
large sum of money, possibly enough
to build q system of good roads
throughout the county. The Palat-
ka-Interlachen road, now building,
follows the general direction of the
Florida Southern R. r. There should
be another good road built along the
line of the G. S. d +. r. r., leading
rom Palatka toward Bradford Co.
Another good road should start at
5he Clay county line and follow the
general direction of the A. 9. l.. to
Palatka and on south to the Volusia
county line. AS all these roads
would center in Palatka it ought to
satisfy her.
If we will inaugurate a vigorous
system of good road building and
lse all the money the county can
conveniently raise for this purpose,
n few years we ought to have
system of roads in the
county. After we get system of
espectable roads in the county we
will be ready for q new court house.
