DEMOCRATS WILL
hear FRANK CLARK
And Other Eloquent Speakers
At the Court House This
Morning.

Congressman Frank Clark and Hon.
Robert E. Davis will address the citi-
zens of Putnam county at the court
house this morning at II o'clock
These gentlemen are among the
great orators of Florida and treat
is in store for all who will attend.
Congressman Clark has just come
from months campaign throughout
the state and which will end with the
meeting at st. Augustine tomorrow.
There are reasons why Putnam
county democrats should give Mr..
Clark a rousing reception. Some of
us were against him in the primary,
preferring to honor with the place
one of our own distinguished citizens.
But Mr.. Clark won the nomination.
Now PHtnam county democrats are
good democrats. And GOOD DEMO-
GRATIS ARE GOOD SPORTS. They
go into the political game as such. If
they lose, they come up smiling and
support the nominee. Congressman
Frank Clark had magnificent fol-
lowing in Putnam county during the
primary; so did Sam Hilburn; they
were divided then, but they are united
now under the banner of Frank
Clark. Let US make his vote in Put
nam county next Tuesday show in a
most substantial way that this is true.
Hon. Robert E. Davis is also we un-
derstand to be one of the speakers at
the meeting, and it is not unlikely
that other distinguished democrats of
the state will be present.

On Wednesday following the death
of Judge Coke the News heard of sew
eral candidates for the office of Coun-
ty Judge, but it appears that all the
candidates spoken of in Palatka have
declined to be considered, with the
single exception of Attorney J. V.
Walton, and that the others have uni
ted on him for the place and are work
ing for his success. A letter received
from gentleman at Crescent City
announces that the friends there of
of Hon. j. H. Harp have united on
that gentleman and will write his
name on the ticket. The News has
not heard from Mr.. Harp and there
fore can not know his wishes in the
matter. He is one of the old and
leading farmers of the section and a
man of high intelligence. He once
served the county as a member of the
legislature. Mr.. Walton has been
several years practicing attorney in
this city and has been successful. He
is a son of the late John N. Walton,
for many years a prominent factor in
the commercial upbuilding Of the city

Gov. Gilchrist has written to Coun-
ty Clerk Henry Hutchinson and to
Chairman ]. C. Calhoun of the Demo-
cratic County Executive Committee
that he will not appoint any one TO
fill out the unexpired term of Judge
Coke, but will wait until after the
election next Tuesday, when he will
! appoint the man elected by the peo-
pie. He requests that he be notified
by telegraph just as soon as the re-
suit of the election is known and that
he will make the appointment imme-
diately. OF course all the county
committee could do would be to rec
ommend a man for the uneXpired
term; they have no power to nomi-
nate; hence the uselessness of calling
the committee together. Chairman
Calhoun has written to each commit
teeman to this effect 1t is up to the
people to select a man; there can be
no nominee, and neither could can
didate get on the ticket by petition;
the time for that has expired. When

Taking the measure of a man or
the fraction of a man is not always an
easy matter, though many insist on
an unerring judgment in this regard.
But The News submits that when the
"head and front of the socialist par
ty in Putnam county" sized its editor
up and pronounced him "the last end
of nothing" that he showed clear
ness of perception in such matters
rarely vouchsafed to ordinary NOR
tails; and yet perhaps we do wrong
in placing the said "head and front"
among ordinary mortals. The editor,
who also happens to be Democratic
candidate for the Legislature, has
committed a grievous wrong in the
eyes of his socialist brethren; he has
noticed and commented on some Of
their most glaring Inconsistencies /;
he should have known better-he
should have recognized what has long
been patent to others, that no one ex-
poets consistency in political social
ist. The editor of The News, howev-
er, can have no quarrel with "the
head and front" of socialism because
of this Characterization. 1t was a
fact he already knew but which he
was trying to suppress. The more
important fact is that this editor and
legislative candidate is NOT A So
CIALIST, BUT A DEMOCRAT, one
who believes in the rule of all the
people as represented in the major
ity, and that in the event of his cleo
ton he will labor to the utmost of his
limited ability to bring to pass full
realization of such a condition.

The death of Judge M. l. Coke on
Monday leaves a blank on the ticket
to be voted next Tuesday for the of
flee Of County Judge. None of the
other parties had nominated a candl-
date for this Office to contest for the
honor of the place with this popular
democratic candidate, who was about
completing his fifth term and was the
nominee of his party for the sixth.
Voters will have to write on this
blank the name of the candidate of
their choice and the one who gets the
most votes will be the next County
Judge.

Florida democrats have so long
been accustomed to victory that they
have grown more or less apathetc at
the general elections. They have
shown up we'll at the primaries and
have had all the clash they feel is
good for them; there is always dan
ger in over-confidence. OF course
the democrats will win every office
from governor to constable in the en-
tire state, and this when it is known
to be practically impossible to get out
a full vote. Sometimes danger is un-
forseen, therefore it is important that
Florida democrats should show up in
full force next Tuesday and vote, thus
guarding against any possible dan
ger. Don't fail to vote.

not much of a fight.

at 700 o'clock in the High School

is much better. We have a new
Course of Study come and learn

We have some new branches come

corps of instructors, come and
they will do you good. We would
advise school boards to hire no
teacher who does not attend the
Normal or some equally good
summer school.
Misses Mabel and Grace Etzold
and Mildred Long and Dolly Hill
were also pleasant callers Monday
afternoon.
Mrs, Hess was also in to see us
for awhile and altogether we had
a very pleasant Monday.
We received letters from Misses
Laura Wood and LaFaun Wilkins
last week. They report a most
enjoyable time in Emporia. We
hope the girls will come back full
of good ideas that they can put in
practice in their schools. We hope
that instead of trying to simply
get grades they will try to learn
the fine art of teaching and in
their schools the coming year will
show and will prove by their ex-
cellent work that it paid them to

of the pudding is the eating We
hope they will be able to deliver

way the real education of the chill
dren under their care, morally,
mentally and physically.
Mrs. Haigh, Supt. of Meade
county, insists that all who teach
in Meade county shall enroll in

would not be a good thing for

FAMILY REUNION

A family reunion at the home
of P. M. Coons last Saturday was
one out of the ordinary, The nine
children separated from the home
fifteen years ago and all of them
had never been back at one time
until last Sunday when the big
bunch" with all the grand child
dren got togather. Grandpa"
could hardly realize that he had
done so much for his country.
Uncle Peter came to this country
thirty-nine years ago and settled
on a farm just one mile west of
town now owned by Davie Kaegi.
On this farm was produced one of
the largest families and possibly
largest in weight in the country.
There were thirteen children, six
boys aud seven girls born in
twenty two years on this farm o.
which four boys and five girls are
now living and all of them married
and have families except Miss
Kate who now holds a position
at the Wickham Bro. Store. we be-
lieve the time short for Miss
Kate. We see her standing on the
shore of the matrimonial sea wait
ing for the ship of fate to take
her across. Yet we see the sails of
the ship approaching. we see the
waves, made by the ship reaching
the shore, we see her with out
stretched arms beckning the cap
tain to speed his ship. We see the
captain" reach down and take her
in his arms and disappear from
our sight. Good by Kate.
A brief history of the family
will probably show the world
what Mcpherson Co. can produce.
The average height of the nine
children is 5 feet, IL inches, their
average weight is 203 pounds. The
average height of the five boys is
6 feet and l inch. The average
hight of the five girls is 5 feet
and 9 inches. The average weight
of the boys is 243 pounds and the
average weight of the girls is 1853
pounds.
