The much talked of Booster Trip
of the Palatka board of trade to Cres-
cent City will be pulled off today, Sec
retary Royster with the aid Of the
Special committee consisting Of Fa-
ther Barry, Archdeacon Wyllie and II.
Finley Tucker having made all ar
rangements.
The start will be made from Palat-
ka at / p. m, and it is sure that from
ten to dozen touring car loads of
boosters will go along. The eXcur-
sionists expect to reach the orange
town by three o'clock and take run
over the section and see the groves
and packing houses now under full
operation.
The orange shipping season is now
at its height and the sight Of great
quantities of the golden fruit as it is
being picked, packed and shipped to
all points of the country is one of un-
usual interest. There is no other
point in Florida where such COM
plete knowledge of the extent of this
industry can be obtained as at Cres
cent City, which is the greatest cen
ter of orange growing in all Florida.
Members of the Crescent City board
will act as pilots through the groves
and packing houses.
The automobile party will return
to Palatka in the cleaning.

Our New business College.

The Palatka business college will
open next Monday morning at
o'clock in the old Fry Opera House.
The location is central, the quarters
roomy and well ventilated; it is an
deal place for the college.
Besides the day sessions the college
will hold night school for young peo-
Pile who are wage earners and cannot
get off in the daytime. The night
school will open at 7 o'clock Monday
evening and already about 25 pupils
have been enrolled.
The business college will be under
the presidency of Prof. G. w. Land,
late of Indianapolis. If you want to
learn more about him attend the
Kalbfield Grand Opera House tonight
when he is to give a demonstration of
lightning calculations and blindfolded
shorthand writing. You will like his
appearance and his work.
The college will have two depart
ments-that for book keeping and the
department of shorthand, typewriting
and penmanship. The coming of the
school is a distinct advantage to Pa
latka. 1t will give the young people
an education along practical and ap-
proved lines for earning living. 1t
should be well patronized by Palatka
youth and those from all the surround
ing towns and country.

BOND SWINDLERS
ARE UP A STUMP
But Will Probably Waive Ex-
animation and Remain
in Jail.

Marshall and Cozart, the men who
were arrested by Sheriff Kennerly at
Winter Garden some two weeks ago
charged with working off worthless
bonds on the capitalists of Crescent
City have not as yet had their prelim-
mary examination.
They are sort o between the devil
and the deep blue sea, as it were. They
don't like the looks of the jump;if
they leap from the frying pan there is
danger they may land in the fire.
Judge w. H. Price of Mariana
came to Palatka last week at the re-
quest of Cozart. He talked over the
case of his client with Judge Walton
who has charge of the prosecution.
Marshall was willing to waive exam
ination and remain in Jail till the
Spring term of the Circuit Court, pro-
vided Cozart would be admitted to
bond in "a reasonable sum-" The at
torneys agreed to this-but then it
was found that if Cozart was let out
on bond in this case, he would be i'm
mediately re-arrested on a warrant
from another county. Marshall is
wanted by the government in Alaba-
ma and he knew that if he was liber-
ated here he would Immediately be
re-arreSted on the governments war
rant. When he looked to the right
he smelt hell; on the left it was Ge-
henna; in front of him was the deep
blue sea; while at his back were the
downey pillows of the Putnam county
jail, and he concluded it were better
to bear the ills he had than fly to 9TH
ers he only knew by reputation.
But with Cozart it seemed different.
He didn't know he was wanted when
Judge Price made the agreement;
now that he knows it our Jail does not
seem so bad
Cozart has travelled some and has
considerable experience with the
world, the flesh and his majesty, the
devil. He has also had troubles of his
own with the law; he is a married
man-much married-and there was
a case of bigamy against him once in
Jackson county; he has loved not un-
wisely but most too well and has ac-
quired a habit of love making that
entities him to respect as an expert
True he is anxious to get out of Jail
and go back to the peninsular end of
the county where he was born and
where his father lived and died and
show the old neighbors that he has
been more sinned against than sin.
ming, but this trip can wait; in fact
it must wait and the knowledge that
it must wait will not interfere with
the people in that section; they will
be better citizens for the delay for 1t
will allow their tempers to cool. If
Cozart should start to mingle with
them now it could only be a start;
then it would be a smart-they would
more than likely take him out into the
forrest and apply the lash to his sub
sequent end.
These men however are going to put
up a game fight when they do come
into court and they are going to have
the aid of lawyers who know their
business. In the meantime they will
spend the winter in the
Putnam county Jail.

MAJOR WRIGHT,
DRAINAGE EXPERT
Makes Valuable Suggestions
Concerning FIorahome
Work.

Possibly the most important part
of the County Commissioners meeting
this week occurred while the body wa
sitting as a board of Florahome Drain
age commissioners.
By invitation of Col. A. w. Tucker
of t'lorahome the district was visited
on Wednesday by Maj. j. o. Wright,
late State Drainage Commissioner
Members Of the board went over the
Florahome district with him and on
Thursday afternoon Major Wright
made valuable talk before the board
| regarding the work and it's needs.
Major Wright has no doubt regard
ing the great value of the lands after
they are drained; he regards the mat
ter Of drainage as a simple engineer
ing problem, and as soon as he returns
with the data obtained on his visit will
submit plans by which the work can
be accomplished most quickly and ef-
fectively. He believes the right thing
to do is to obtain of the legislature an
amendment to the present drainage act
that will enable the people interested
to vote bonds for the immediate ac-
complishmen of the work. With
such amendment the people would not
have to wait several years until funds
accumulated before start could be
made.
Major Wright made an excellent
impression; he talked like man who
knew his business-as he does-and
the cause of FIorahome drainage re-
ceived fresh impetus from his visit
and talk.
The board decided to ask him 10
make report and recommendations
and at the next melting that report
will be on hand.
The board also passed resolution
lnstructing the clerk to invite Senator
Wall and Representatives Middleton
and Russell to the January meeting
of the board, then and there to talk
over the legislative needs of the pro-
ject.
Missionary Society Officers.
The monthly meeting of the Wo-
mans Missionary society of St. James

Second street at the corner of Reid.
Alter several years OF SpaSmodc ac.

its head above the weeds in the garden
or not. Gradually we were beginning
TO feel the same way ourselves A good
many OF us had forgotten the incident of

lay in The treasury ready for action.
Soon after Secretary Roysler took
