BROWARD LEADS
BY 40 VOTES
Complete Unofficial Returns
From Every County in the
State.

According to the Jacksonville Me.
tropoliS the complete unofficial returns
from every county in Florida show the
United States senatorial contest to be
the closest in the history of Florida with
Broward having plurality over Talia-
ferro of 40 votes.
The total vote Of the state for Senator
on the 10th inst. was 46, S43, divided
among the three candidates as follows:
Broward 21,O65; Taliaferro 21,016, and
L'Engle 4,672
The last county to be heard from was
Madison, the vote of which showed that
Broward had plurality of 26, thus Civ
ing him lead in 2S counties, while
Taliaferro has lead in is counties.
Citrus county gave plurality to
L'Engle.
Both sides are hopeful OF victory in
the second primary, which will be held
on June 9TH, and both forces are hard at
work TO bring out big vote.
Senator Taliaferro began his second
campaign in Duval county last night
speaking at the foot of Main street.
Frank Clark the eloquent Congressman
has espouSed the cause of the Senator
and spoke with him at this meeting.
In his announcement to the voters pub
lished in the Times Union Senator Tai
iaferro says that "false reports and col.
umnies were circulated about me by my
opponents while was in Washington at
my post of duty in the interests of the
state, and had little chance TO defend
them. My purpose now is to undeceive
the people," This is taken to mean
that the Senator is going TO do some real
fighting of most any kind in the cam.
paign now on.
Broward is in South Florida this week,
and is making his campaign on the sue
cess of the Everglades project and free
agricultural schools for every county In
Florida. He is in Manatee county,
which gave Taliaferro big plurality
last Tuesday week.
Taliaferro forces have the best organi-
zation, as Browards headquarters have
but few at work, but the latter is depend.
ing on friends in various counties.
There will be much work done on both
sides and the general opinion is that the
contest will be exciting and spectacular.

Some Big Auto Sales.

The Rambler Automobile Company o
this city of which Mr.. A. T. Anderson
is the manager, has been doing business
during the past ten days. Among the
sales reported are three big Rambler
touring cars of As horse power and each
fully equipped.
These sales were made to Hon. S. ].
Hilburn, Mr.. H. S. Cummings OF Rod
man, and Rev. w. c. Foster, who this
week moved TO Daytona Beach.
These are the largest and most ele.
gantly equipped cars yet sold in this city
and are capable of developing greal
speed. Their cost was 81, 700 each.
The Rambler company through Mr.
Anderson has also sold to H. L. Sprinkl,
of Jacksonville, "a horse power tour.
ing car, known as Model 50 for $3.50.
The Rambler Company of this city
has besides Mr.. Anderson, a specia
demonstrator in the person of Mr.. Clair
Otey, who comes direct from the Ram
bier factory. Mr.. Otey is an expert and
though he has driven his cars over sew
eral thousand miles of Florida'S sand
roads and through the woods he has
never had the slightest accident. 1t was
the pleasant experience of the editor OF
the News to ride with him in a big
touring car to Grandin one day
recently. This distance of some "a
miles, much of the way over the wors,
possible roads, was made in one houl
and forty minutes. People who have
taken long distance ride in a Rambler
touring car will not soon forget the
pleasures of such an experience.

To the Voters of District No. 5

o tne voters OF District No. ).
Conference.-The people of Grandin,
attribute the insufficient aggregate vote
cast for Mr.. Emery Perry at the recent
| primary, to the fact that the people of
other localities do not know him as we
do. He is man not given to the prac-
ice of blowing his own horn, or in
lsking others to officiate in that capaci.
ly. AT the request of his friends at this
place, gladly take the initiative In ex.
planning to you why he is the man to
serve US.
Every one who knows Mr.. Perry will
agree with me that he possesses the
necessary characteristics for one acting
in the capacity of County Commissioner.
He is conservative man, possessing
no eccentricities whatever, sufficiently
educated in the good old reliable schools
of experience and observation to make
him valuable member of the board.
OF his character, ii is without blem-
sh. A good christian at heart, strictly
honest in all business transactions and
even his conversation on all subjects is
open and straightforward.
Is it not best to select man OF excel
lent principle, one who is christian him
self, thereby bound to exercise consci.
entiously his share in the work as guar
dian of public interests? And he GER
tainly is strong enough physically and
mentally to defy any and all factions.
Mr.. Perry was born and raised in the
community where he now dwells. He
is a farmer and knows what farmers
need. And gentlemen, what class of
people constitute the majority in this
district You answer, farmers, of course.
There are others however of different
and variable interests to be represented,
but Mr. Perry, | assure you will repre-
sent all impartially and conscientiously
if elected.
When man shows by the life he has
led, the faultlesS integrity he has shown
in stubbornly making the farm remun-
crate his useful toll, one who has been
engaged in but one occupation not in.
fluenced by Tightly ambitions, | think
that man, whoever he may be, is worthy
of the full confidence of the populace.
Few men can succeed as we'll in this
as Mr.. Perry.
The office of county commissioner
requires intellect, integrity, principle,
Self-reliance and knowledge OF what
the people need, and he, we know pos.
sesses these qualifications.
Hoping this will meet the approval OF
the voters, and expressing my belief in
the fact that all voters should know in
what manner a candidates immediate
friends and neighborS regard him, re-
spectfully submit these facts for your
consideration. GRANDIN CITIZEN.

OF ConjurorS occupied the stage at How
ell Theater on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday nights, each night showing
his wonders to large audience.
In addition to his stage performances
Cunning has way of advertising him.
self that tells. He had himself locked
inside the vault of the clerks office at
the Court House and came out of 1t in
seven minutes. He was manacled and
bound and locked with chains wrapped
around his arms, feet and body and yet
got out. He defied all locks and bars.
These things done in public won him
crowds at the theater, anxious to see
more And they saw more.
The man is wonder. His fea,s are
done in blaze OF light and arc incom-
prehensible.
With him is Mile. Edmunda, the
psychic wonder, who was but little less
incomprehensible than Cunning himself
The people OF Palatka enjoyed the
visit Of this man of mystery.

Chamberlain,s Liniment.

This is new preparation and good
one. 1t is especially valuable as a cure
for chronic and muscular rheumatism,
and for the relief from pain which it
affords in acute inflammatory rheuma-
tism. Those who have used it have
invariably spok en- of it in the highest
terms of praise. Lame back, lame
shoulder and stiff neck are due to rheu-
matism of the muscles, usually brought
on by exposure to cold or damp, and
are quickly cured by applying this
liniment freely and massaging the af-
fected parts. Soreness of the muscles,
whether induced by violent exercise or
injury, is allayed by this liniment.

This Cemetery Needs Attention.

The neglected condition of Oak Hill
cemetery, situated some three miles out
on the Francis road, has been the cause
of frequent comment of the kind not at
all flattering TO the trustees having ii in
charge. The cemetery is fenced, but
moi properly so, for the hogs roaming
that neighborhood get through and are
doing great damage.
In connection with these complaints
the News has received the following
communication from a lot owner that
should result in change of policy on
the part of the cemetery trustees:
Palatka May 1S, 1910.
Editor PALATKA NEWS:
The "City of the Dead" should be
the City Beautiful" because it is
Goods Own Acre" Yet one can
scarcely find a more neglected looking
spot that Oak Hill Cemetery. There is
no water within radius of half mile
so it is needless TO plant shrubs and
flowers; but worst of all, the hogs roam
at large and on Sunday last the writer
counted no less than six graves almost
demolished beyond the semblance OF
mound. Surely something can be done
TO stop this outrage, for unless it is
stopped many graves will be destroyed
beyond recognition as but few have
stones to mark the last resting place of
some loved one. NJ. A. w.

Rev. w. G. Foster Resigns.

Rev. w. C. Foster for the past year
pastor of the Baptist church in this city
has rendered his resignation, the same
to take effect on August first. Mr..
Foster is an able preacher and gave gen
eral satisfaction to the church. He is a
most genial getleman and his popularity
is not confined to the membership Of
his own church, but extends to all de-
nominations. 1t is understood that his
resignation is due TO insufficient support.
Mr.. Foster and family moved to Day
tona Beach last Monday at which place
he has secured lease of the Hotel Van
Valzah, which he will conduct. He
will return to Palatka each Sunday and
fill the pulpit of the Baptist church un-
til August.
1t is not thought that Mr.. Foster de-
signs to quit the work of the ministry
permanently.
