Pleased With Palatka.

Mr.. Earnest, president and gener-
al manager of the Earnest company,
Palatka's new dry goods store, has
expressed himself as greatly pleased
with the company's success in this
city. Ever since the store was open
ed in the spring the trade has been
of such volume as to greatly exceed
the company's most sanguine expec-
tations.
1--WE have learned much" Mr..
Earnest stated, "from our brief ex-
perience, as to the demands of this
trade and our aim has. been to Sc
cure such goods as would meet the
local demand. Our chief pleasure
in a business way is derived from
the fact that our stock has been
such as to put an end to the bulk of
the mail order business. Discrimi-
mating buyers have found out that
we have the goods they want. We
are satisfied that we will be able,
now that we are learning local needs,
to knock out the mail order business
completely. Yes, we are highly
pleased with our trade, and we are
likewise thankful for the apprecia-
ton shown our efforts to please by

FOR STREET PAVING.
Palatka Board of Trade Pre-
sentS a Good Plan.

At meeting of the Palatka Board
of Trade, held June Sd, it was de-
cided to make the question of pave
ments and hard roads in the city OF
Palatka special question for the
next regular meeting of the board.
On Monday evening, June 18th, af-
ter the routine had been disposed of
! this question was very thoroughly
gone over, not, however, in any
spirit of dictation to the organized
| bodies who have such measures in
charge. 1t is not the intention of
| the Palatka Board of Trade to be-
come dictator This body is trying
| to help out where it can. 1t was
suggested that it might be very
wise policy not to put all of the
money, which may come from the
ultimate sale of city bonds into brick
or other like pavement, but that at
least 40 per cent of such monies be
placed on hard roading from ten to
| twelve miles of streets other than
those known as business thorough
fares. 1t was conceded that Lemon
street from the river to the Atlantic
Coast Line Railway, should be of
brick, and that some other blocks
near the river should be of brick, but
that the city should reserve at least
$4,000 of the $4,000 of money that
will ultimately be derived from the
sale of paving bonds for use in hard
roading from ten to twelve miles of
our residence streets.
1t was thought that the Inter-
lachen gravel, or some other like
material, if found near by, could be
laid on the streets of Palatka at
about $500 per mile, at an average
width of IS feet, and of suitable
depth for solidity. 1t was also
thought that the cost to abutting
property frontage would not exceed
for the hard roading alone, over 20
cents front foot, after taking out
the city's proportion The Board of
Trade by unanimous standing vote
of about thirty members approved
the plan. Individual members in a
goodly number spoke to the subject
and enthusiastically favored the
plan. The intent of this movement
on the part of the Board of Trade, is
to secure to the citizens of Palatka
several miles of such hard roads as
few other small cities of Florida
have been wise enough to secure to
themselves. The Board of Trade de-
sires to place this question in front
of the people. We can, if wise, so
distribute the monies which we hope
soon will be available that we may
have from twelve to fourteen miles
of good hard roads, including streets
to be paved with brick, instead of
simply getting perhaps mile and
half or two miles of brick pavements
and no other hard roads in the entire
city. The opportunity will not
come soon again when any consider
able amount of money will be availa-
BILE for hardroading our city streets,
1t is the unanimous opinion of the
Board of Trade of the city of Palatka
that the course outlined should be
followed, and it will be the purpose
of tine Board of Trade to advocate
this policy continuously.

has been enacted, and less legisla-
tion for the corporations has been
put upon the statute books.
In the session just closed, child
labor bill was passed. 1t is true that
the bill is not as good q bill as
should have been passed, but it is a
fairly good bill, and will answer the
present needs until it can be
strengthened and improved when
the Legislature meets again.
A geological survey bill was pass
ed at the last session. This bill has
been introduced in the past four
Legislatures, and it failed of passage
until the last session. 1t will be, /
feel sure; of incalcalablee benefit to
this State in the development of it's
subterranean wealth.
The Legislature just closed passed
pure food bill. This is of immeas-
urable Importance to the people.
Its operation will affect beneffcially
every person living in the State.
What better legislation could be
proposed than this? No better legis-
lation has ever been proposed or en-
acted.
After the Legislature of 1905 failt d
to pass laws strengthening, increas-
ing and extending the powers of the
Railroad Commission, the Legisla-
ture of 1907 enacted several bills into
law which gave to the Railroad
Commission all the power that is
needed. The Commission may now
have, thanks to the Legislature OF
1907, special attorney; it may en-
ploy a competent engineer to inspect
the physical condition of the railroad
property. The Legislature of 1907
in word, put it within the power OF
the Railroad Commission to cope
successfully with the transportation
problem, which is the greatest of all
problems affecting the material
prosperity and the commercial de.
velopment of the State.
Another piece of good legislation
to the credit of the Legislature OF
1907 is the license tax on railroads OF
ten dollars per mile. This also is not
y perfect bill, but it saves the princi.
pie of taxation of franchises. 1t is
nothing more nor less than an occu.
patton tax, and by the passage OF
this act this time, the next Legisla-
ture will find it easy to enact an ade

Me Price of Butter.

A county subscriber writes that
he is compelled to pay 40 cents per
pound for butter at his home store
and asks the editor to quote him the
price in Palatka. Enquiry at one or
two of our leading groceries, and
from buyers, develops the fact that
butter sells in Palatka at 30 cents
per pound. The average price
through the year is about 29 cents.
Several families in this city who

News that they are paying 20 cents
per pound for it. Last summer the
