MELONS TAKE A
SLIGHT TUMRL z
ARRIVAL or ABOUT a SCORE or
WAGON LOADS SENDS THE
PRICE DOWN.

Watermelons, which until now have
been stift, took tumble during the
day. Too many melons, the reason.
Prices on this delectable fruit have
been exceptionally good this year al
though the size and quality Of the
melons have not been up to the stand
ard. The arrival of some couple of
dozen loads of one of Maury's faycrite
products all in one day was too much
for the capacious appetites of even
loyal Maury Countians and the price
went down notch or two.
The melons which came to the city
today were the largest and best seen
on the local market this year. While
there were none that would compare
in size and weight with some OF the
banner melons of other days when the
scales have been tipped at sixty-five
and even seventy pounds, there we're
some very sizeable ones on exhibit
ton. and these found fairly ready
market. AS one dealer remarked I'VE
must sell the large ones at good prices
to get out on the smaller ones for
which there is very slight demand

in Maury county, according to the Of
fetal returns, which were canvassed
Friday by MumfOrd Smith and Mere

conducted the election.
While no meeting of the district
subcommittee entrusted with conduct
ing the Congressional primary has
been called, it is supposed that such
a meeting win be held at an early
date and Mr.. Padgett declared the
nominee. The majority given Mr..
Padgett in this county was a fiatter-
ing testimonial of the esteem in which
he is held by his home folks, and is
about fifty more than given by unof-

Big Trunk Sewer Nov Under Con-
struetion Will &c Finished Within

Much for Towns Sanitation.

Columbia will probably continue ifs
campaign for sewerage. Before the
Helms Branch trunk sewer is com
pleted movement is on foot to build
another that will serve large terrific
ry and add much TO the proper santa
ton of the city. The city authorities
have taken up with the railroad ON
Gals the question Of building a sewer
from the union station down High
street TO an intersection with the
Helms Branch sewer now in the
course of construction.
The matter is being viewed in a IA
vorable light from the railroad ON
cials and the committee from the city
council having the sewers in charge is
very much encouraged. The construc.
tion of a sewer on the street mention
ed would not be very costly propo-
sition but it would serve a very large
and populous section of the city. 1t
is not improbable that a charge for
connection would be made SO that
the property owners who are direct
" benefited would contribute to the |
cost Of the enterprise.
The Helms Branch sewer is almost
finished, the city having established
! new record for speed in the con-
struction Of this splendid piece Of
work. Within two weeks it is believ-
ID that connections can be made with
he sewer. The work is being rapidly
pushed and unless some unexpected
should arise the sewer
will be finished within the time men

Claude L'Engle, Candidate.

Claude L'Engle of Tallahassee, who
Sprang into state prominence as editor OF
The Sun, and now picturesque and un-
certain quantity in the race for the
United States senate, spent Tuesday in
this city mingling with the crowds that
filled the streets, and talked personally
to many voters.
Mr.. L'Engle says that his campaign is
purpoSely divided into two partS-the
gasoline, and the gas campaign. The
gasoline" campaign which he is now
making is so named because he is tour
ing the state in an automobile. Up to
the present time be says he has person
ally interviewed some $4,000 people.
The gas" campaign, yet to come. will
be his public speaking tour, and when
he will address his 'Fcllow Country
men" in punches.
He expects to arrive in Palatka shortly
and make tour of the county in his
automobile, rescrving his gas" for a
later visit. He made many new aC-
quaintanccS and renewed many old
ones on Tuesday, and also made some
votes. He will make more.
Mr.. L'Engle was pleased with the
celebration and as he stood viewing the
bridge, he remarked TO some gentleme:
dts a great achievement on the part OF
Putnam county and one that will pay for
itself in a years time. 1t means that
other towns on the river will follow
suit There'll be more of them in the
next five years. "

Arlington Changes Hands.

E. l.. Wilbur, late of Corbin, KY, on
Friday of last week purchased all rights
and title TO the Arlington Hotel and has
taken possession.
Mr.. Wilbur is an old hotel man and
successful. He is New Yorker by
birth and for some dozen years was in
the hotel business in Syracuse. For
ten years last past he was a prominent
hotel keeper at Corbin, Ky. His great
est success, he states, has been as ca
terer TO the wants of commercial men.
Mr.. Wilbur says that he proposes TO
renovate the Arlington and improve it
in every particular where there is need.
Later on he may make more extensive
improvements.
For the present Mr. and Mrs. Kalb-
field will remain at the hotel and assist
Mr.. Wilbur in its management. They
will still make Palatka their home, and
will board at the Arlington. MIR. Kalb-
field bought the property some time
ago, but had paid only part of the pur
chase price. The sale to Mr.. Wilbur
lets him out OF the transaction whole.
Ii will be gratifying to the people of
Palatka to know that Mr.. and Mrs. Kalb-
field will still make this city their home.
Their management of the Arlington has
been eminently successful. They took

Co. Commissioners Announce.

During the week at least two of the
present board of county commissioners
have announced their candidacy for an
other term.
l.. c. Stephens, the member from Pa
latka and the hard working chairman of
board, is one of them. MIR. Stephens is
too we'll known in Palatka TO need any
introduction here. He has served on
the board faithfully all through the pre-
liminaries leading up to the present pub
lie improvements in the county and is
familiar with every detail of the work.
No man can fill an administrative or
legislative office and please everybody,
and Mr.. Stephens is no exception. He
has, however, gone about his work, and
those who know him best believe that
he has honestly striven 10 serve with an
eye single to the advancement of the
county. If he has made mistakes, they
have been of the head, rather than of
the heart. And those things which were
pointed out as mistakes are gradually
coming TO be regarded as wise moves.
Mr.. Stephens is not anxious for the Of
flee, but he feels that he can serve the
people to advantage, at least until the
pupilC WOlh nOW III manu- Has uScu Solu-
pleted, hence his candidacy. If there is
TO be any opposition to Mr.. Stephens
the News has not heard of it.
Morgan Bohannon of Bannerville is
the other announced candidate. Mr..
Bohannon'S district is the Fourth. He
has also been a member of the board
during the present public improvements
and served faithfully. He is modest
man, of few words, but one who when
he takes position and is convinced he
is right, cannot be swerved therefrom.
MIR. Bohannon is highly regarded all
over his district as an honest, substantial
citizen. 1t is understood that he will
have opposition, but up to the present
no one has come into the open against
him.
