His Tnne-Saving
~s Plan

II rarely read letter through"
:Grampell has said many times. IF it
is from a girl, l can always gather
from the first three lines what she is
going to tell me, and let the magma
ton do the rest. This plan works par
ticularly we'll if the letter is in reply
to an invitation. If l see that the
note is short know she accepts. If
1t is long, know she can't go and Is
wasting four pages explaining why.
Usually l don't care why-and think
of all the time / save by not reading
explanations"
Grampell found his plan excellent
when it came to dealing with jean
cite Trips. She was an especially
nice girl but she possessed super
abundance of language. Jeanette al"
ways took 500 words to tell one 70
words of news and when she had pa
per and pen before her she rioted In
her verbal wealth. 1t was after she
wrote Grampell six large pages con-
veying the regretful news that she
was unable to go to the theater that
he inaugurated his plan. Grampell
never did more than tear open the en-
velopes OF Jeannette's notes. If the
writing was of formidable length he
merely threw 1t into the waste paper
basket and asked himself: Who'll
I ask now to go with me?'

FLORIDA STATE NEWS NOTES,

Mr.. Robert Werner, the horticultu.
rlst, comes out with a strong en-.
dorsement of the common Florida
guaVa. Both the Florida guava and
the Japanese guava have proven their
aDlllty to survive the wet season as
well as drouth on the Everglades, but
the tree of the latter is too dwarf to
serve as valuable wind break which
Mr. Werner assures is necessary to
both fruit orchards and vegetable
farms on the glades. The guaya as
a profit producer Mr.. Werner says,
Is demonstrated by the fact that
while the canning factories paid 75c
per bushel all through the season
they were unable to supply their
needs for jelly making.
Quail are so plentiful this season
that they are often seen in the
streets of Titusville. Evidently this
coming season will be good one in
BreVard county for hunters. Two
coveys were seen on Palmetto street
recently.
Great preparations are being made
for the annual Gadsden county fair to
be held in Quincy the week beginning
November IL. The fair committee
has secured a great many exhibits
and also some concessions from the
city and the streets will be used for
parades and carnival purposes. From
indications the display of farm pro.
ducts, cattle, domestic arts and live
stock will exceed that of previous
years.

STATE LICENSE
ON AUTOMOBILES
Declared by Jacksonville Court
TO be Unconstitutional.

John E. Hartridge leading attorney
OF Jacksonville was made defendant in
a case 10 test and argue the validity of
what is known as the Automobile H.
cense tax law" The case came on
last Tuesday before the Criminal Court
OF Record in Jacksonville, with result
that the law was declared to be uncon-
stitutional.
This decision will have great interest
TO automobile owners in all parts of the
State. Here in Palatka many owners
have resisted the tax and local organi-
zation of auto owners was recently
formed for the purpose OF pooling their
grievances and employing an attorney
10 contest the validity of the law. The
Jacksonville decision will give them
courage. The motion of Attorney
Hartridge was as follows:
State of Florida VS.. John E. Hartrdge.
Now comes the defendant in propria
persona, and moves The court TO quaSh
the information herein on the grounds
that chapter 6212 of the laws of Florida,
relating TO the operation of automobiles
on public highways by owners, not for
hire, is unconstitutional and void.
(a) 1t is tax and not license, and is
unauthorized by the constitution.
(b) 1t is double taxation, automobiles
being subject TO ad valorcm taxation
aside from the tax sought to be imposed
under this act.
(c) There is no provision for any
regulation in the statutes.
(d) 1t violates section 16, article OF
the constitution in relation 10 its title.

THROUGHOUT THE STATE.

The large fruit crop this season
calls for better facilities, and AZ a
result, the Lake county packing asso.
citation is making additions to both
ends of its present large packing
house at Tavares.
A new enterprise is soon to he es.
tablished in Bombay. The French
Stave Manufacturing Company is pre-
pairing to erect big mill on the riy-
er, below Westville, for the manufac-
ture of hardwood products. A train
load of machinery is now on hand
and crowd of laborers and their
families. in wagons have arrived Ev-
cry new industry and enterprise adds
to the prosperity of a section and the
new hardwood mills will mean in
creased business for merchants and
others of Holmes county.
The new log railroad out of Ocala
has already crossed the Ocklawaha
river above Lake Griffin, and will
soon be in the vicinity of Higley, This
will open up more of the good land
of Lake county and give an outlet to
those sections that have been isolat-
ed in the past
j. w. Dickerson of Winter Garden,
is cutting seventeen acres of hay
which will yield about three tons to
the acre. The hay has been mown
twice since the finishing up of the Gu
cumber crop in May. Somewhere
near $50 crates of cucumbers to the
acre were harvested the past season.
The season before 1887 crates were
shipped from this acreage, which is
owned by l.. w. Tilden. AS soon as
the hay is cropped the grass will be
burned in lettuce will be sown.
Two crops of lettuce will be grown,
to be followed by a cucumber crop.
The citrus crop is estimated to be
larger this year than at any time ev,
er known, 1t is reasonable to sup.
pose that Florida oranges will be in
great demand this winter, owing to
the shortage of the California crop,
and if growers will handle their fruit
and profitably they'll bank
some money.

Palatka's Population.

Jesse f. Burtz returned day or two
ago from Palatka, where he spent
several weeks in compiling a new bust
ness and residential directory for the
Gem City. The book, which was
compiled under auspices of the Palatka
Board of Trade, and which is now in
the hands of the printer, will be as
modern as modern. day methods will
permit. 1t will show Palatka to have a
total population of 5,9SS, of which 3,125
are white and 1868 colored. The
figures show a substantial increase over
the population of the summer of 1909,
when the Gem City possessed $3.50
souls, according TO the multiples used
in compiling works of the kind.
"YeS, Palatka is forging ahead at a
lively rate," said Mr.. Burtz. Business
is good in all lines, the factories and
mills are operating on full time, the ho-
tells are full, and altogether there is an
air of progressiveness on every hand. -

it yearned for sight of the woman for

on the part of Snead gave him courage.
Quietly he prepared to return home
