DIGNITY or THE COURT.
An Incident Of History At MayvIiIs
n Y, Fifty Years Ago.

At the last term Of court q Chautau.
qua County lawyer sent . post caro-
containing . picture Of the Mayville
courthouse to . lawyer who had been
a student In this county nearly half 4
ing in reply. The answer discloses
a standard Of dignity on the part of
the bench SO far below anything that
would be tolerated in these times that
we are almost forced to admit that
the world IL improving:
Thank you for the picture of the
Chautauqua courthouse. My first visit
to 1t was about f~orty-seven or forty.
eight years ago. Judge George Bark
er. then a %practicing lawyer. went to
Mayville IN Monday and on Wednes-
day l followed. The first thing that
l saw pon the bench az l entered
the courtroom was a pair OF muddy
boots near the end of the desk. and a
moment later a round a looking
like "a full moo appeared near the
other end.
The whole outfit belonged 70 Judge
Martin Grover. He was really sitting
upon his backbone with his heels on
the bench. He had got of some Joke
and laughing had sunk 80 low In his
chair that he had quite disappeared
and now was gradually rising. We
became good friends later on and I
learned. too. the unwisdom Of Judging
by appearances, but as . boy l wal
not much impressed by what l la

Next Tuesdays Election.

The annual city election will occu
next Tuesday, April I'd, and eXcep
for independent candidates for al
dermen from the Third and Fifth
wards there will be no opposition tC
the regular democratic ticket. Ir
the Sixth ward (inhabited almos
solely by negroes) there is no demo
cratic candidate. The republicans
have nominated Albert Browning
the well-knOwn colored barber.
The ticket will be:
For Mayor-F. H. Wilson.
For Alderman-First Ward-H. o
Hamm, democrat; Second ward
John Merryday, democrat; Third
ward. E. E. Dodge, democrat, anG
w. A. Merryday, independent;
Fourth ward, d. w. Ramsaur, demo.
crat; Fifth ward, J. H. Haughton
democrat, and Wallace Taylor, re.
publicam-socialist; Sixth ward, AL
bert Browning, republican; Seventh
ward, Howell A. Davis, democrat
The present campaign in Palatka
has been misrepresented abroad.
There have been items in both the
jacksonville Times-Union and Me-
tropolis to the effect that the demo-
Gratis had been defeated and that an
independent movement had captured
all the offices. This is not true. AS
matter of fact there was a threat
ened independent citizens move
ment, but better judgment prevailed
and there was simply a general at
tendance of citizens at several of the
ward primaries. Democrats who
had heretofore neglected their polit
ical duties came out and as result
some new men were nominated. But
the entire proceeding was regular
and the News has yet to hear of an
old time democratic ward worker
making kick.
In the third ward Mr.. Merrydsy,
an old line democrat, is running iu-
dependent, though he could easily
have had the democratic nomination
had he expressed such desire. This
is the statement of well known Third
ward party workers. Mr.. Merryday's
has the sympathy of the
citizens movement, and this is the
only inconsistent thing, from party
standpoint, that the municipal cam
paign has developed. Mr.. Merryday
is one of Palatka's largest property
owners and man of unimpeachable
character. Mr.. Dodge the regular
democratic candidate is an eXem-
plary business man of high character
who has lived in the ward several
years.
In the Fifth ward Wallace Taylor
a republican-socialist is being run
against Mr.. Haughton, the we'll
known druggist. Some of the work
ers in the citizens movement repudi-
ate his candidacy, some are nom
and others say he has its
He has but recently moved
into the ward, owns no property in
the city, and his name was register
ed as a voter in the ward on the 9th
INST. His campaign is being manag-
I'd by E. Il. Lancaster, socialist.
Mr.. Taylor is a republican of social
site tendencies and has never attill-
ated with the democratic purity.
The election will show whether or
lot Palatka's democracy has been
defeated. The local correspondent

Work of Municipal Court.

The forthcoming report to the city
council by Judge +. Noble Calhoun
will show some interesting figures.
From an advance copy the News eX-
tracts the following:
Fines imposed-November, $4,000;
December, S304, 90; January, S2l5,OO;
February, $l3S; To March l4th, SOB;
total $780,
A total of $50 days will be served
by prisoners sentenced to Jail and
street labor.
Total number of cases tried, 30.
Sixty-eight cash bonds have been
collected.
An average of s222.OO per month
has been collected in fines.
The amount of work done by pris-
oners, if paid for, would amount to
over $500.
The feed bill of prisoners has aver
aged $3.50 per month.
The salaries of officials per month
is S17l.66.
Judge Calhoun's report gives great
credit to Chief of Police Hagan and
his officers. Out of 230 cases tried,
only about one-half dozen were found
not guilty. This, Judge Calhoun,
maintains, demonstrates that Chief
Hagan and his men have been care
full not to prosecute any but cases
reasonably certain of conviction.
To these officers Judge Calhoun gives
much of the credit for the success of
his court.
1t has been stated that Judge Cal
houn would not be a candidate for
re-appointment to the municipal
judgeship on the ground that the
work is a serious detriment to his
law practice.
That he has made an excellent
judge during his short term in office,
will be apparent to all from the
above items in his report.
There is another feature of the re-
port not touched on by Judge Cal
houn, which the News feels called
upon to call attention to:
The majority of cases before the
court are for "drunks"
and "disorderlies." :" They are the out
put of our saloon system, system
which the people, for a money con-
sideratiOn, have authorized to grind
out just such products.
This observation will be consider
ed by some as that of temperance
crank" Let it go at that. How
ever, some will be able to see in it
bad business and worse morals.

Road Work Progressing.

Work on the new county road
from Palatka to Iuterlachen is pro-
crossing. On Tuesday several of
W. A. Walton's teams were engaged
in hauling gravel from the cars at
Francis to spread on the new road
bed sretching Palatkaward.
1t seems that this work is being
pushed steadily though quietly and
sometime in the fall a good, harI
road will connect the two points and
a swift span of horses or an automo-
bile will be the proper caper for IL
spin.

sually fine and is bringing top prices.
Other leading daily shippers from

Deserted Wife
Institutes Suit
Action Is Brought to Re-
cover Money Taken BY
E. p. Gordon

A suit was filed in the District
Court Friday, by M. l.. Lee as
plaintiff and assignee of Mrs. f.
P. Gordon, against E. P. Cor
don, for the recovery of the
sum of $500, alleged to have
been borrowed by defendant
from plaintiff.
1t seems from the facts, as
near as we are able to ascertain
that Gordon, a few days after
his marriage in Salt Lake City,
secured from the woman 5000
which she had in her possession,
the accumulation of years of
hard work, and disappeared,
leaving the woman destitute and
with the care and support of five
little children. After he had
been absent for about two hours,
his wife became suspicious and
instituted a search, but nothing
was learned of him.
The unfortunate woman is
now taking the above measure
to try and retrieve some of her
lost wealth, and we can but wish
her success and extend our SYM
pathies for becoming the dupe of
such a rascal.
