Davis Election Assured.

Occasionally one meets man on the
street who says he is a socialist. He
says the socialists are going to elect Mr.
&c. A. LeHardy mayor of Palatka, and
he seems to feel kind of pity for you if
you express doubt He thinks you are
dense not TO observe the signs of the
times.
The average socialist is a good talker
good in the sense of being verbose.
He sort of impreSSeS you with the idea
that he is afflicted with an ailment
known to the ordinary observer as "a
constipation of ideas and diarrhma Ol
words"
Don't let him excite you. Palatka is
not ripe for socialism. The News is not
making predictions for future campaigns,
but will confine its propheSies TO the
present one. Its representatives have
been about some. The sentiment is
universal
Howell A. Davis will be elected may
or by large majority.
There will be some opposition from
socialists, so-called, and-perhaps few
misguided Sixth warders, but that is all
AS our friend, the gentleman with the
freckled dialect would say, "don'd gol
oxcided." Really there is nothing tC
get excited over in the situation.

HOW ELL A. DAVIS
FOR MAYOR
Democratic Convention Renomi-
mates Popular Incumbent
by Acclamation.

The city democratic convention
which met in the council chamber last
Friday night was sort of "ioyefeaSt"
affair.
There had been some scurrying by
opponents of Mayor Davis renomina-
ton during the day or two proceeding
the convention. These men were not
opponents except in the sense that they
thought the times demanded the strong.
est possible candidate, but they failed TO
I find one who could or would fill the bill
better, and therefore all gracefully unit
ed on the nomination OF Mr.. Davis. His
nomination was by acclamation, and on
being brought before the convention his
entrance was greeted with hearty ap-
plause.
In his address of acceptance Mr.. Davis
said:
"Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the

in succession that have had the honor
OF being nominated as your chief execu-
tive, desire to sincerely thank you for
the high honor you have conferred upon

He Didn't Make Good.

Mack Steward who represents himself
as lawyer is in Jail on a warrant sworn
out by Jas. A. Bear of this city, which
charges Steward with obtaining money
under false pretenSes

ard worked" Palatka as the represen.
tative of the Jackson Miss Loan and
Trust Co. He represented that his com.
pany would loan money on mortgages
at per cent, but the borrowerer had TO
make payment at the time of signing
his applicaIion'or contract.
Bear says when he made his contract
he paid Steward $50 with the express
understanding that the company was TO
loan him SIS, 900 on mortgages at 5 per
cent; that he has never been able TO Sc.
cure this money. Hence the warrant for
his arrest.
Several others in Pala tka were MIXED
for various sums.
Sheriff Kennerly found Steward in
Jacksonville the other day selling the
same kind of contracts, and arrested him.
Steward is in Jail. He has had no

A New Fish Story.

A lady in this county who has small
like on her premises and who occasion.
ally does some fishing, recently hooked
a big len pound trout, so called, but in
reaIiiya fish known as the "big-mouthed
black bass.
When this fish was cut open a squirrel
was found in its stomach, only the tail
of which was partially missing The
lady was so aStonished that she ran TO a
neighbor's and exhibited the fish with
the squirrel still in place.
There can be no question of the truth
of this story. The News knows the lady
and her witnesses.
But how did the fish catch the squir-
rel? There are oaks overhanging the
lake, and squirrels are numerous. Per
haps one fell in the water and was
nabbed in its drowning struggles.

right; an unhealthy man Is an unhappy

Last Killing Frosts for 1910.

Since publishing the enquiry OF our
East Palatka subscriber last week, as 10
the date of the ''last killing frost which
nipped the potatoes and put the bean
family out of business in the spring of
1910," the News has received some
weather records from other sections of
the county that may throw some light
on the subject
Heights, general manager of the big
Satsuma Co, which company has
hundreds of acres under cultivation for
camphor trees and does much general
farming, gives the following frost dates:
"There was heavy frost on March 10th,
when the mercury dropped to 330; and
light frost ON April Goth, when the
mercury went TO 3So."
Another correspondent writing from
Crescent City gives the following frost
records for that place:
THE coldest weather in Crescent City
in spring of 1910 occurred as follows:
Saturday, Jan. IL, 7 a. m. 70 degrees.
"Wednesday, Jan. 26, 7. m. 81 degrees
Saturday, Feb. 5, "a. m. 81 degrees.
MONDAY, Feb. IA, 6 a. m. "a degrees"
From the dates given by our Satsuma
contributor will probably be found the
answer to the enquiry of our East Pa
latka correspondent
Since the above was written Mr.. Peter
Gardner of this city, who does consider
able trucking, has called with confirma-
tory information. Mr.. Gardner keeps a
daily record of the weather. He says
that on March 10th, 1910, the mercury
fell to 35 and killed beans; that on April
26th the mercury went to 40, and there
was white frost, which would also kill
any beans remaining.
This seems to establish April Goth,
1910, as the "last killing frost" for that
year.

7. H. Haughton OF the City Drug Store
has lust closed a contract for remodel
ing and refixturing of that well known
and reliable store that will, when COM
pleted, place the City Drug Store of Pa
latka in fore front of like establishments
in the country. The work is to begin
on April 1St and the contract.callS for its

a lowering of the store floor 10 the side

seat for certain of us friends of the es.
tablishment who have been accustomed
TO spend an occasional evening there
and talk politics and Sich like things.
But the store: The entire interior is
TO be remodeled and fitted with fixtures
that are not only beautiful but expensive.
The shelving will all be new and ol
solid oak as also will be the show cases
and the counters, on marble base.
The soda fountain will be OF opa
ONYX and all the apparatus will be un
derneath a great high counter OF this
material. Back will be great mirror
The prescription department will be
at the back end of the store where the
railroad ticket office now is and thi'
will be shut in with ornamental hXlureS
The entrance will be of big double

ramental TO a degree. ..
The fixtures were planned by the Ma
tional Show Case Company, and th'
work will be in the hands OF ]. y. Nc

Thus will the City Drug Store take it
place along with the best, most moderI
commercial establishments for which
Palatka is becoming Justly famous.

In the cotton belt two crops year
on all lands is possible, practicable
and profitable under prOpersystem
of farm management; and while some
may not he able to attain such in
tensive cropping, it should be the
aim Of every ambitious farmer.
Perhaps the one reason most fire.
quently advanced for failure to plant
the out and wheat lands in some le-
gume catch crop is the difficulty in
preparing the land. There is need
for good management at this point,
FOR the difficulty is real one. The
corn and cotton crops are usually de-
maEding the attention at this time,
and while the seeming scarcity of men
could be overcome by the use of larry
er and better implements, the horse
power is still lacking. Moreover,
when tire oats and wheat are cut the
land becomes hard .aDd difficult to
put in good condition for seeding to
the catch crops. All Of these difficult
ties under our system OF farm man
agement are real and serious ones;
but the advantages of keeping the
land growing crop all the time are
too great to justify a failure to solve
these difficulties.
In the first place it is certain that
these lands should he prepared and
seeded as soon after the oats and
wheat are cut as possible. This il
important because the sooner the
Itch crops are planned the better
for them and the sooner the land il
prepared the more easily it can be
done. If these crops could be remov-
ed as soon az cut the difficulty would
be largely solved, but they must be
shocked and left to dry for some
time, and this is the chief obstacle to
prompt and easy preparation of the
land for catch crops.
Again, when the land is broken
there must be no delay in using the
disk and smoothing harrows, and
the roller or other clod crusher, when
necessary, to Thoroughly pulverize
the land before the clods or Jumps
have had time to dry out and become
so hard that thorough pulverization
is impossible. Land that breaks up
in Jumps may usually be well pull
verified if it is disked or narrowed
immediately after being plowed. but
il these Jumps are allowed to Cry
even for few hours on hot, dry
day, it may be impracticable to pull
verize them until heavy rains come
