Time to Speak Out.
PALATKA NEWS:

LulLol ALATkA IN EWS:
1t was my pleasure to spend day
at our county site a short time since
when | heard the feasibility of the
bridge project discussed at some
length by many prominent citizens.
among them number of brilliant
members of the Florida bar.
1t seemed to be the general opinion
that the rural population of the
county was lukewarm on this great
question. This fact l could not deny.
On receiving copy of the circular
letter sent out by the Palatka Board
of Trade, and reading the same again
IN the last issue of your paper, | re-
solved to put myself on record at
once. BY all means let us have the
bridge. need not recite it's advan-
tages. Let everyone read the circu-
lar letter carefully and then decide.
The hard road from Palatka to In-
terlachen will be a great thing for
this county. Don't think it is not
going to benefit you because it is not
in your part of the county. A county
is little republic. Nothing can be
done for the benefit of one portion of
the county that it does not benefit
the whole. If you cannot aid this
brld ge project in any other way, at
least give 1t your moral support.

A Fiend At Larse,

A posse of armed citizens of Bre
Vard county were in Palatka Tues
day morning looking for a negro
named Dan Anderson, who crimi-
nally assaulted Mrs. Walters at Pin.
ella on Thursday last.
The story of the assault is one of
the most revolving in the criminal
annals of Florida.
1t is reported that Anderson ar
rived at New Smyrna in a box car,
from which he escaped, though the
station agent had been notified that
ne was probably in the car, He was
later located at Glencoe, 5 miles
west of New Smyrna, where he Sc
cured change of clothes and shoes
from another negro. He was traced
a few miles out from Glencoe, and
there the trail was lost.
1t is said that fully 500 determined
men are securing the woods of Vo-
lusla county for this fiend, and that
quick work will be made of him in
the event he is captured.
Private kilograms from Cocoa on
Wednesday announce the fact that
there is now no definite trace of the
negro, but the citizens of Brevard
county are in hopes that the people
OF Florida will come to their aid in
capturing this monster. Anderson
Is described as follows: Weight
about l5O pounds; height, 5 feet s or
8 inches: Roman nose, small foot,
wears 5l9 shoe, mulatto, said to be
born and raised in Sanford.
The Glencoe negro who assisted
Anderson to change of clothes has

Davis Cypress Tank Factory
Starts New Machinery
This Week.

The G. M Davis & Sons cypress
tank factory, for many years lead
ing Palatka industry, and which was
reduced to ashes on the night of
March l4th, last, entailing loss of
over $4,000, Is again doing business,
and in new and enlarged quarters.
The new factory occupies all of
book GA, situated directly across the
A. Q. L.. tracks from its old site.
The increased ground space gives
the firm ample room for stocking
and the economical handling of q
large amount of the high class lum-
Der which enters into its product.
The factory proper occupies the
eastern end of the lot and is a high,
well-lighted and airy frame snuc-
ture l54 Ga feet in size, with wing
AZ X 56 feet. The machinery, such
as must be peculiar to the class of
work turned out, is all new and of
the latest design with self-oiling
bearings, and was made in Chatta.
nooga especially for Davis d Sons.
Each of the several great and pow
erful machines is run by it's own
motor, the power for all of which is
conveyed from the Selden Cypress
Door Company's factory. The ar
rangement is perfect and the new
factory starts with capacity of |
making tanks to aggregate 100000
gallons per day.
The Office is large and we'll lighted,
with space for a commodious vault
which is soon to be installed, and in
which the records will hereafter
have fire proof receptacle
The bands and lugs and all other
iron stock is kept in the old stock
room on the original factory site.
This stock room, it will be remem-
bered, is the only part of the old
plant not destroyed by the fire.
The g. M. Davis d Sons tanks are
known in all sections of the United
States east of the Mississippi river,
and in many foreign counties. The

IN one night was everywhere looked !
upon as disastrous blow to indus

PAlatka. Florida,

Dear Sir: Todd.& Downing, con-
tractors and builders, Morgan City,
La, have painted Devoe for or 4
wears They say it takes less gallons
Devoe than of any other paint they
have used. That means that Il Job
cost less with Devoe; not only for
paint, for labor as well.
They paint nothing else, Devoe ex-
clusively.
They have said nothing about the
comparative wear of Devoe and
others; oversight, may be; perhaps
too soon for that. But Devoe is the
strongest paint; that's why least gal
Ions; best wear, same reason. Least
cost and longest time between jobs.
