PALATKA CELEBRATES OPENING
or BRIDGE.
tst. AugustIne Record

Palatka, Fla, February 22-With
flags fiutteering welcome to the
many visitors, the sun shining from u
cloudless sky and a summer breeze
ripping the waters of the placidly
flowing st. johns, Palatka today was
hostess at one OF the greatest barbe-
cues in the history OF Putnam coun.
~. 1t was given in celebration OF
the opening of the big new bridge
spanning the river and connecting
Putnam county with st. Johns.
An old fashioned barbecue with
plenty OF the very best OF things to
eat, speaking by some of the states
most prominent men and an immense
parade in the morning made the day
one that will be long remembered by
the crowds that thronged the streets
OF the city, Palatka's guests. All Put
nam county turned out to join In the
celebration and ST. Johns, Duval and
other counties we're well represented.
The completion and opening Of the
bridge means much for Palatka as
well as for st. Johns county. The
cost was great but the commissioners
OF Putnam have erected a structure
that will stand the traffic and wear
OF many years and that will form a
lasting connecting link between the
two counties. They displayed the
greatest enterprise in undertaking
such a project but they have carried
II through TO a splendid conclusion.
st. Johns county's commissioners
are doing much road improvement
work and with the work planned on
the Elkton and Hastings road II is
safe to say that within twelve to
eighteen months there will be a good.
highway between st. Augustine and
Palatka by way OF Elkton and Hast
ings. The bridge connects directly
with the road TO Hastings.
TIE celebration began with a band
concert this morning at 10 o'clock.
Immediately following this was the
big parade across the bridge and
back. This was In charge OF Marshal
OF the Day H. M DeMontmollin, who
in the lead was followed by the sher-
In OF Putnam county and the Palatka
police and the band. Following the
band was an auto containing former
Mayor Herbert Wilson OF Palatka
and the county commissioners OF
Putnam. lin the second automobile
was Mayor Howell Davis. Mr.. G. b.
Selden and Mr.. Brown. In the third

Now that the big fight between the
EMF Company and Studebakers is
practically over-nothing being left,
since the decision of Judge Swan
against Studebakers, but a suit for
damages and counter suit, in the
devious ways of which through the
courts the public will have no In
terest-it may not be out OF place to
remark that these cases involved the
largest sum of money that has ever
figured in a commercial legal contest
in the United States court The stu
pendous sum of 100000, 900 was in
volved That is to say, Studebakers
were fighting for the right to market

factories both of EMF $50" and

present rate of production this
amounts to sS4.OOO,OOO per annum or
slightly more than s10O.O00.0O0 in
the three years the contract would
have run had not President Flanders

tons. This makes the $39,O0O.000

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR
is DUE

John Hays, a Northern soldier,
who belonged to the third division
of the Second army corps IN the civil
war, visited the battlefield at Chan
cellorsville recently, and after look
ing over the lay of the land closely,
has since come to the conclusion that
he was directly responsible for the
shooting of "Stonewall" Jackson on
MAY 2, 1863, which resulted in his
death few days later. The cavalry
to which Hays belonged was ordered
to report to Gen. Berry during the
battle, but Berry could not be To-
Gated and Hayes was sent out as a
scout to find him.
He found Gen. Couch and asked him
where the brigade should go, and re-
ceived the reply, Damn 1t, go
where the fighting is" So Hayes
started back, but could not find his
brigade. 1t was dusk, and while
riding down lonely road he noticed
a little group OF mounted men.
Thinking they were Union soldiers,
he had started toward them when a
volley of musketry ripped out from
all sides of him. His horse, never
having received a baptism Of fire,
wheeled and bolted down the road.
Hays turned as he went and saw a
commotion among the horse men,
and came to the conclusion that the
volley had taken effect on them in
stead of killing HIM. A few days
later he heard that Gen. Jackson had
been fatally shot by his own men at
this place. Upon his recent visit to
the field he relocated the old land
marks, and a Confederate officer who
was with Jackson bore out his
theory.-Springfeld Republican.
If the alleged John Hays is correct
in his surmise, he ought to be the
greatest hero of the civil war from
the Northern viewpoint, Gen. Grant
not excepted. He was a hero by
accident, it is true, but nevertheless
he did more, if his story is true, to
terminate the war than the whole
Northern army did prior to Gen.
Jackson's death. Indeed, there are
numerous writers, who tell the story
of the civil war from first-hand
knowledge, who declare that the
South could never have been con-
quered while Stonewall Jackson
lived.
Mr.. Hayes was the savior of the
Union, and while his honors have
been long in finding him out, he
should go down in history as
such if
