OSBORNE REPLIES
TO DALRY RYMPLE IN
STRONG LETTER
Challenges Regulars to Allow
Progressives Challeggers and
to Publish Election Expenses.

Another chapter is added to the Pro-
gressive- Regular Republican contro-
versy started last week when President
Edmund B. Osborne. of the Progressive
League, attacked the opinion of County
Counsel Mum relating to challengers at
the primaries.
The Progressive leader classed- the
opinion as made to order in the inter-
est of the machine and designed to pro-
mote fraud at the primaries."
Atffe county committee meeting Fri
day night County Chairman Alfred N.
Dalrymple referred to the Osborne at
tack as an Insult to every member Of
the county committee.
Today Mr.. Osborne replies to "Dal" +"
and challenges the latter, IL he wants
an honest primary, to permit the Pro-
eressiyes to have challengers and to
publish sworn statements of every dol
lar received and expended by the or
ganization at the. primary last year and
this year also.
For the Progressives. Mr.. Osborne
promises to do the same If his challenge
it accepted Among other things Mr..
Osborne says:
"Mr. Dalrymple's statement is very in
teresting even though 1t lacks some-
thing of being convincing. His refer
ence to the political methods Of Iowa
and Kansas is altogether irrelevant,
but not at all unnatural, can under
stand why he would have feelings on

INTERLACHEN ITEMS.

The "Yellow Social" given al the
Lake View on Thursday afternoon, un-
der the auspices of the Junior c. E., was
a very enjoyable affair. Games were
played on the lawn by the juveniles,
while the older contingent watched from
the vantage ground of the shady piazzaS.
An exciting peanut contest was an anus
ing feature of the occasion. Miss Ola
Fraser captured the first prize, Master
Warren Fraser the special award in the
youngest class, and Miss Ruth GilIett the
consolation prize. Later, refreshments
were served in the dining room, which
had been gaily decorated for the occa-
sion in the colors for the day.
Regular preaching services were re-
Sumed at the Congregational church
last Sunday morning, Rev. S. ]. Town

vice observed on that day, following his
inspiring sermon, and again conducting
the evening praise service. Owing 10
the absence of Miss Fraser, Mrs. Grace
Ballou acted as organist at the evening
service.
Misses Hattie and Clarcne Fraser are
absent, enjoying visit with relatives at
Baldwin, Macclenny and Lawtey.
The public school opened here on
Monday morning, with a goodly enrol
ment of pupils, TO which several more
will be added in the near future. Prof.
Jos. Stock is the efficient principal, and
Miss Erma Wylie assistant.
The Sunshine Society held its usual
meeting on Tuesday afternoon at the
Lake View. Many interesting notes of
Sunshine work in this and other lands
were read at the meeting, and plans per
fected for the fitting up of the Reading
and Rest Room, in which several organ
izationS are interested. Although the
outside sunshine was exceedingly hot,
there were very few abSenteeS, except
those whoare Sojourning in various north
ern states on summer vacations. From
some of these messages have been re-
ceived, showing that they keep the
Florida Sunshine in remembrance.
The gentlemen of the "Lazy Mans
Club" announced that they were TO hold
a Shade" meeting, in opposition TO the
Sunshine meeting, but if they did ii was
a secret session and no report of the pro-
ceedings could be procured for publica-
tion.

Postmaster Kirby Appeals to
Citizens.

By direction of the Postoffice Depart
office is invited to the advantages of pro.
viding facilities for the receipt of their
mail by erecting conveniently accessible
boxes, or cutting suitable slots in their
doors. Such action would enable the
postmaster to give prompter and better
delivery service with the means at his
disposal, since the carriers can cover
much more territory in less time if not
compelledto wait for answer to their ring
Private receptacleS for mail are also a
great convenience to the householder,
obviating the necessity of responding to
the carriers call at inconvenient mo-
mentS, and permitting the safe delivery
of mail in the absence of members of the
household. They also prevent the oc-
caSional necessity of a carriers proceed
ing on his route without delivering mail
because of failure to answer to his ring
within reasonable time, and enable him
to make deliveries TO patrons living on
or near the end of the rout at an earlier
hour.
II has been shown by actual expert
ence that the benefits derived by patrons
of the city delivery from the use Of such
receptacle far outweigh the small cx-
pense involved. AS this office is inter
eSted in furnishing the best possible
service at the least expense, your com
pliance with the foregoing suggestions
will be much appreciated.
Respectfully,
D. NJ. KIRBY, Postmaster.

THE GREAT need
OF GOOD ROADS
Is Shown by the Experience of a
Palatka Automobile Party.

The Gainesville Sun, of Tuesday last,
contains the following account of the
trip OF prominent party of Palatka au-
tomobiliSts last Sunday:
There are a number of parties each
Sunday who auto to Gainesville from
various sections within a radiouS of fifty
miles, and among those prominent here
last Sunday were Hon. Howell A. Davis,
wife and little daughter, Miss Hattie
Bulky, and Sam Lyons, of Palatka.
There is story of considerable inter
esl, as we'll as many trials and tribulationS
connected with this party. The party
left Palatka at 1880 o'clock Sunday morn
ing, expecting to arrive here in time to
hear Bishop Weed preach at Holy Trim
ity church, but like all automobile trips
which are planned TO "come out right"
the party was embarrassed first by losing
the road, and after they had gotten
straight and headed again for Gaines
vile, they became "mixed up" in mud
hole, and it was a question of mule
power" before the stubborn Buick could
be budged. However, she party finally
reached Gainesville in the neighborhood
of o'clock, but, Notwithstanding The
urgent invitation of friends to remain
over until Monday, they decided to re-
turn in the afternoon, and only remained
here long enough TO drive over few of
our principal streets, including East Main
and West Liberty. They admired the
beautiful avenues with trees down the
center, and regretted that they could not
have remained longer.
Mr.. Davis is the owner of the big tank
plant of G. M. Davis &
Son, and for the second term is mayor
of the Gem City, Notwithstanding that
he is yet young man. He is olSo prcsi
dent of the Patatka Board of Trade.
Miss Bulky is one of Palatka's leading
business women, being engaged in the

The Work of an Artist.

Mr.. Henis Petermann is just putting
the finishing touches on the judges
bench in the circuit court room of Put
nam county'S new court house.
Instead of buying ready made bench,
the board of county commissioners asked
Mr.. Petermann to erect the bench and
bar railing after plans of his own draft
ing. II was wise move on the part of
the commissioners, both on the ground
of cost, and excellence of the work.
The bench is on a raised platform
which is entered from the rear by three
steps, and on the sides and front is en-
closed by beautiful panel work con
Meeting the corner columns. 1t is in
these columns and panels, ornamented
as they are by pretty scroll work, that
the work of Mr.. Petermann is seen to
best advantage. Every piece of wood
entering into the bench, both in its col
umns and panels, is of specially selected
black and birdS-eye cypress.
The News doubts if there is another
court room in the entire south that has
a bench that will compare in beauty
with the one just erected by Mr.. Peter
mann, and it is sure that when it is seen
by the officers of, and the people who
have business with, the county, that there
will be unstinted praise for the architect
and builder.
Mr.. Petermann is a Putnam county
man from wayback, and for many years
he has held official place in the county.
This fact has given him a special feeling
of pride in the execution of this job-a
pride that few would feel, and he has
simply excelled himself. One thing
more Mr.. Petermann proposes; he is 60
ing to make an artistic table at his own
expense, and give TO the presiding judge
"a table on which TO set the water
pitcher and glass. This, too, is to be of
rare wood and artistic workmanship.
The News asks that every citizen of
the county who comes to Palatka make
it a point to visit the court room and
view this sample of Mr.. Petermann's
artistic handiwork, and if any of them
think the News has overdrawn, or been
extravagant in its description, tell us.
