A Deserved Compliment.

Mr. G. n. Van Landingham, the Pa
latka Heights correspondent OF the
Times Herald, pays the following com
pliment to our worthy fellow citizen,
Mr.. VIM. G. Tilghman. 1t gives the
News great pleasure TO reproduce what
Mr.. Van Landingham says, as follows:
without the shadow of doubt Mr..
w. G. Tilghman is the recognized lead
err of the prohibition forces by the wet
contingency of this section. In the
event that Florida should go dry in the
coming election, there are number of
men in Palatka and vicinity who are
going TO attribute the whole of the I'M
fortunate affair 10 his work, and are
going to hold him personally responsible
for the disaster. He is considered the
adversary of everything that has the
slightest tendency to dampneSS. Now
if Mr.. Tilghman has the weight and is
putting in his work as successfully as his
enemies give him credit for he is a
mighty power. | find the liquor forces
have about as much love for Will Thigh
man as the enemies of Ben TilIman
have for him in Washington when he
welded his pitch fork administration.
at is rumored that the great old South
Carolina statesman is going TO retire
from public life. Should that be the
case he will very likely have few pitch
forks TO spare, and | suggest that car
load be ordered at once. Those of us
who are in sympathy with Will and his
arm ourselves with one OF
those implements clear away the trash
so that there will be no obstruction 10
his right of way, then back him up until
The fair name of Florida has been en-
listed in the catalogue of dry states.
Mr.. Tilghman really is leader of rec.
ognized ability, and ii is the duty of the
temperance constituency TO hold up his
arms.
SALOONS like all other illegitimate
business can't thrive without patronage.
Some specimens of humanity will be
Used as material for these to Subsist on.
IS there a man in Putnam county or in
he state of Florida, who will volunteer
o furnish sons and daughters from their
immediate families TO be used as mate
'ial for the rum shop and their hclliSh |
accessories. If you can't, don't vote to |
rave them for some other mans chill. |
lren. Take care. Voting for saloons

AT COURT HOUSE
To Attend Meeting in Interest

Addresses by J. N. Blackwell, Rev. II.

Songs of Victory.

Addresses by J. N. Blackwell, Rev. II.
Dutill, and w. G. Tilghman-
Songs of Victory.
A chorus OF 80 men, women and
children, led by w. G. Tilghman, &C
companied by the piano and other in
struments in the hands Of member OF the
Tilghman Orchestra, and singing songs
OF patriotism and victory, lifted the i'm
mense crowd that filled the court house
Wednesday night to a point of enthusi-
asm such as can only be gained by the
aid of inspirational music. And when
the vast audience was requested TO rise
and join with the great choir in the
singing of America" the lofty ceilings
of the beautiful court room seemed TO
reverberate with the swelling tide of
song. II was grand; it sent the patriotic
spirit of the revolution tingling through
the veins OF all who heard and made
"My Country IT'S OF Thee"
a battle slogan for the coming contest
Then Mr.. Tilghman asked Rev. P. O.
Cason, the new pastor of the Baptist
church to offer prayer, and il was a
short impressive invocation for Divine
aid in the coming contest.
Local 0iquoD option meetings are
never opened with song or prayer
Both would be out of placel.
The first speaker OF the evening was
Mr.. ]. n. Blackwell, the well known
attorney of this city Mr.. Blackwell
made splendid address, answering ma
ny of the arguments OF the liquor people.
His words were closely listened 10 by
the audience, which gave generous ap-
plause at its conclusion.
w. 6. Tilghman then gave one OF his
numerous character recitations, and of
which he is past master. 1t was re-
ceived with storm of applause.
Then there was a splendid address by
Rev. H. Dutill, pastor of the Methodist
church. Mr.. Dutill is always an impress
sive, and at times a most eloquent
speaker. He outlined and made clear
the real issue and showed that ii was be
cause prohibition did actually prohibit
that the liquor power was fighting ii.
The News regrets ii has not the space
TO give even synopsis of Mr.. Dutill's
or Mr.. Blackwell's addresses. They
were both vote makers, as was also that
of Mr.. Tilghman, which closed the ex
ercises of the evening.
Yes, there were many ladies present.
Ladies always lend their presence and
aid TO worthy cause. Ladies never at
tend the meetings Of the saloon forces.

Additional Qualified Voters.

the Supervisor of Registration made but
one mistake, and that a most natural
one.

These qualified voters are

In precinct No. the name of Frank

commissioners. Mr.. Johnson has
moved away, but still holds TO Crescent

In precinct No. IA the name of Chas.
Miller should appear on the stricken

With these corrections the list has SO

new ARRANGEMENT
IS A SUCCESS
MISS SToD0ARD SAYS THAT THE
CHANGE IN THE LIBRARY
is POPULAR.

THE new plan has had at least one
good result" said Miss Grace S,oddard
last evening when she was asked re-
garding the success attending the new
arrangement OF the city library The
business of the library is much heavier
and the demand for books is far in
excess of what it was a year ago
this month. Nom fiction books seem
To be much more in demand than here
tofore. The opening OF the reference
shelves has apparently stimulated the
interest in scientific and literary
works and we have many requests for
books of this nature"
The plan, Miss Stoddard stated. In
working very well and the patrons of
the library appear to be very much
pleased with it. We hear expressions
of approval from every side" tn.

by what people say the new arrange

open eyes. said My. amt you fixed up
fine in here :"
'.The opening of the children's room
has greatly increased the demand for
juvenile books. Children's literature
never was very heavy feature of
the library's circulation. but the de-
mand has doubled in the last few
weeks and these boks are now among
the most popular in the library
Within the last few days the library
has purchased two new sets of books.

should prove popular The new sets
contain five volumes each. One dea.s
with locomotive engineering and the
other with mining engineering. Both
sets are libraries i'm themselves and
contain every bit Of available informa-

which they deal. The railroad men on
