"WHlTE SISTER"
AT THE HOWELL
With Beautiful Lillian Rhodes
in the Stellar Role.

All women and an occasional man en-.
Joy good love story in which the fate
OF the lover hangs in the balance and is
SpIcc2d with little danger. That is one
OF the real reasons for the remarkable
success of "The White Sister" which
is billed for the Howell Theatre for
tuesday night, Nov. 14th, with the mag.
netic American beauty, Lillian Rhodes,
in the stellar role and superior cast of
supporting players.
The White Sister" was dramatized
from Marian Crawford's latest novel of
the same name and the action of the
play occurs in Sunny Italy, the home of
romance, love, poetry and dago music.
1t is an intensely human story in re-
ligiouS setting although in its develop
ment il is amusement and entertainment
OF the highest quality. 1t is handled in
an uplifting manner and carries a con
vincing lesson. The role of the Nun
CThe White Sister, makes cxactng de
mandS upon the emotional powers of the
actress, and ii is her powerful interpre
tatiOn of the role and her striking ap-
pearance in the character that has earned
for Lillian Rhodes the reputation of be-
ing Americas most convincing emotion.
al actress. Nearly every character in
the play is star part and requires com
pany of unusual quality to do ii justice.
The stage pictures are realistic and
handsome, while the interpolatcd music
which permcatcS the play is sweet and
soothing. "Thc White Sister" will
probably crowd the theatre and un.
doubtcdIy be one of the most genuine
treats of the season.

DISTINGUISHED
VISITORS.

Among the prominent NoluSia county
citizens in Gainesville are I. T. Bielby
and +. l.. Smith of DeLand, who are
stopping at the White House. Mr., Biel-
by is one of the pioneer orange growers
of this State, but recently disposed of
the last grove he possessed. Mr.. Smith
is the popular sheriff of NoluSia county,
and both gentlemen have many friends
here who are glad TO welcome them
again. Sun.
The Gainesville paper might have ad-
dcd that Mr.. Smith is also under an in
dictmcnt for murder in the first degree
and that because of the bitter feeling
against him in Putnam county, one of
whose oldest and best citizens he I'M
doubleday murdered (and we use the
word adviScdly) he was given change
of venue TO AlaChua county. His trial
does not come on until the third Mon
day in the present month, al which time
the good people OF Putnam county want
him TO have fair and impartial trial.
But in order 10 get that kind OF trial in
Alachua county il is not necessary for
Mr.. Smith TO visit the Alachua county
seat three weeks in advance of the trial
10 give out one sided statements regard
ing the crime for which he stands
charged, or in any other way TO manu-
facture sentiments for himself.
Mr. i. T. Bielby is truly pioneer
and successful orange grower, and a
man of wealth. He is also bondsman
of Sheriff Smith, guaranteeing the state
that he will faithfully perform the du-
ties of sheriff, and also that he will be
on hand TO answer for the crime of
which he stands charged.

The COURSE OF
TRUE Love.

A man named Kerr who lives Just over
the Putnam county line in st. Johns
county, near Hastings, swore out war
rant before Judge Coke on Tuesday,
charging ]. E. Chesser, young man
living on Deep Creek, with perjury.
Last week young CheSscr came TO
Palatka with the attractive young daugh-
ter of Kerr and secured marriage IL
cenSe. They were married. Kerr gave
the young lady'S age as 21, and Swore
that he had her parents consent TO the
marriage.
As a matter of fact he was unable TO
secure her fathers consent, SO he did
what any other young man would have
done under similar circumStanCeS-he
took the girl with only her own blush
ing consent and married her with the
purpose to live happily with her forever
after.
But the course of true love never does
run smoothly when some old man with
crouch determines to put distractions
in its path.
That was old man Kerr With his
warrant he had CheSScr arrested and
brought TO Palatka where he waived eX-
animation and was held to the circuit
court on the charge of perjury.
Young CheSSer is a manly appearing
young fellow. And his daddy -in'law
also has genteel appearance, and were
ii not for his crouch would probably be
all right. Somebydy ought 10 tell him
however, that he's ''done gone and made
an ass of himself"

SPECIAL FARMERS
INSTITUTE TRAIN
Will Visit Palatka Thursday
Nov. 1Sth---Only Stop in
Putnam County.

Prof. Rolls and his associates OF the
agricultural experiment station in con
neCtion with the University of FLORIDA
are 10 hold a series OF farmers Institutes
in many Of the principal cities and towns
in Florida
These lecturers will travel on special
train furnished by the Atlantic Coast
Line Railway and will start from Gaines
vilte on the 18th inst and will close
with an Institute at Live Oak, Dec. 1St.
This train will reach Palatka at p.
m. on Thursday, the 10th inst and re-
main two hours.
And this will be the only stop made
by the train in Putnam county.
Palatka farmers should make note OF
the date and hour of the meeting and
govern themselves accordingly.
II was thought that the idea of this
train was one of benefit TO the farmers
Of the state, and that its purpose was 10
carry 10 them knowledge of modern
methods which educated and practical
farmers have obtained through costly
scientific experiments.
But il seems that the train will make
all its principal stops in cities.
This is mistake, and will prove it.
self such unless the farmers will take
advantage of these lectures by tlocking
to the cities
There are good many farmers living
out few miles from Palatka.
But at points like Inlerlachen, Pomo-
ma, Crescent City, real centerS of agri-
cultural or horticultural activities, il
seems no meetings are to be held.
That's why the News, if this univcr-
Sity plan of instruction was intended as
help to the farmer, thinks its itineTy is
mistake.
But as Palatka has been selected as the
only place in the county for an lnSti-
tutc, and as these lecturers do have their
heads filled with practical, helpful in
formation, ii is TO be hoped the farmers
will come TO Palatka on the day of the
meeting in large numbers.
The average citizen OF Palatka doesn't
do very much iarming-he's too busy
making living.

HAD SYSTEM FOR
ROBBING LETTERS
But R. W. Boyd, G. S. & F.
Route Agent Was Finally
Landed.

r. w. Boyd, a colored mail route
agent whose run is between Paldtka and
Atlanta over the G. S. & F. R'y., was
arrested in the latter city on Saturday
last by poStoffice inspectors, charged
with robbing the mails. He was finally
landed by means of decoy letter. After
his arrest a search was made of his
rooms and the inspectors found all the
evidence needed to make sure of Boyd's
conviction.
Boyd'S system was 10 open registered
letters and take only part of the money
contents. Then he would put part back
and re-Seal the envelope By his meth
cd the trouble was never between the
sender of The letter and the postal de-
partment. 1t was trouble that eventu-
ally had 10 be fought out between the
sender and the recipient. The sender
always insisted that he was sure he sent
certain amount The recipient was
also equally sure that he only received a
certain lesser amount.
| The inspectors have been SuSpecting
Boyd for some time, and as a result have
been watching him.
Boyd formerly lived in Palatka, and
was at one time a teacher in some of the
colored schools of the county. He later
worked for the w. A. Merryday Co.
He was ambitious and finally passed the
government civil service examination
and got place in the mail service. He
has been in this service about four years.
Some time ago he was caught in a
gambling place, but was not gambling at
the time. He was called TO the carpet,
but got out OF il by insisting that he only
went 10 the place to see man that owed
him some money.
But it has long been suspected that
Boyd'S money and some considerable
that wasn't his went by his favoritc
Skin game" route.
