tions prove that the magnetic pole is
not stationary until his figures and
notes are carefully studied it will be
impossible 10 say whether its oscilIa-
tons are regular
Anundsen says it + the same with

geographical observations. They will
have TO be studied by scientific men to

Paving Bonds Sold.

At meeting of the board of bond
trustees on Wednesday afternoon a
communication enclosing check for
$15, 200 was received from Mr.. w. A =
Merryday for the purchase of one
half the city's paving bond issue and
fifteen thousand dollars in these
bonds We're transferred to that gem
tleman.
of the paving bond issue will be tax
en- by local capitalists. These bonds
pay per cent interest
The sale of these bonds to Mr.. Mer-
ryday means that the work of paw
ing the streets of Palatka will soon
begin, and that with paved streets
the people, seeing some outward
sign of expenditure, will begin to
think better of their city.
So far all the money spent has
gone under ground, and being out of
sight, many have seemed to forget
that anything had been accomplish
ed by the bond trustees.
But Palatka now has a complete
sewer system. 1t also has a complete
water plant. The latter
will probably be accepted by the city
from the contractors this week. A
thorough test of the plant has been
going on during the past five or six
weeks, and City Engineer Lyon act
ing for the bond trustees has been in
sistent that every pipe and joint
shall measure up to the requirements
of the contract.
This work accomplished, there
then remains the work of tapping the
mains for the house connection, or
service pipes. aOf course this will ne
cessitate more digging. But the end
of the unsightly streets is at hand.
That the bond trustees have pro-
ceeded on right lines no sane person
will deny. They have proceeded on
the theory that it was best to do the
first and the paving second.
And now that Mr.. Merryday has
shown his confidence in the paving
bond issue to the extent of purchas-
ing one-half of it, the News feels
sure that the balance will soon find
purchaser.

VIII Not Hurt Business.
Editor PALATKA NEWS:

Editor PALATKA NEWS:
For the benefit of those voters who
may fear that business will be dam
aged by closing the saloons, | wish
to quote what an Osceola county bus
mess man has to say. In letter
from ex-senator Chas. A. Carson of
Kissimmee, president of the Waters
& Carson Grocery company, and a
leader of public opinion in his part
of the state, he has this to say:
son inquiry of several merchants
of our town, engaged in different
lines, the general report is of in
creased volume of business under
dry regime. Our own business shows
q nice improvement"
This statement is contained in a
letter which l received from Mr.. Car
son one day last week, and is written
under date of July 10th. OsceOla
county went dry" in the latter part
of 1905, something more than a year
and a half ago. There had been q
campaign in 1903, in which the
"wets" won by considerable major
ity. But in the second contest some
of the leading wet men took the side
of temperance and helped on to vic
tory. | am glad to believe that such
will be the case here in Putnam this
year. We welcome all who will help
us, and earnestly urge every voter to
give the temperance cause trial in
the county. Business will not be
hurt, and certainly morals will be
helped, by closing the saloons.
Very respectfully,
J. F. BELL.

A Big Orange Crop.

G. M. Barton, travelling representa-
tive of the w. A. Merryday company,
was in the city this week, having
Just returned from complete tour
of the state, and after an interview
with nearly all the leading orange
growers with the purpose of selling
orange box material. Mr.. Barton
states that his trade has been inn
mense, and very much larger than
last year. He states that the Merry
day exhibit of orange box material
at the Tampa fair did much to ac-
quaint the growers in south Florida
with the superior merits of the Mer-
ryday box, and that orders have
come in large numbers as result of
that display.
Mr.. Barton states that the orange
crop in Florida will not be as large
as last year, but that it will be very
large.
What will particularly interest
Putnam county is his statement that
the fruit and the trees about Cres-
cent City look better and the crop is
proportionately larger than any other
part of the state. He sold $4,000 box
es to one grower at that place. Mr..
Barton was so favorably impressed
with the advantages of Crescent City
as an orange growing section that he
has made an offer for a large grove
at that place, with the chances in
favor of his securing the property.
