Alderman A. Usina of the Fourth
ward, whose term did not expire un-
til one year from next month, but
who has been unanimously nominated
for mayor, rendered his resignation
at the meeting of the city council
last week. This was accepted by a
rising vote on a resolution express
ing regret of the members on Mr..
Usina's retirement. The following is
Mr.. Usina's letter to the council:
Palatka, Fla, March II, 1913.
Hon. J. H. Yelverton, Jr., President,
and Members of the Council.
Gentlemen:-Having been chosen
the nominee for mayor of your city ii
now becomes incumbent upon me tc
tender you herewith my resignation
as alderman from Ward 4, to take
effect April 8th, 1918.
In retiring from the aldermanic la
bors incident thereto | do so with
some regret, but feel, however, that
am not lost to the cause, but am
entering into a larger field of labor
and will lend my best efforts to the
making of more progressive and
| hope, more prosperous city.
Thanking you, gentlemen, for the
,ourtesies rendered me while amongst
5ou in the capacity of alderman
which | have held for a number OF
7ears--I hope by my administration
with your cooperation, to further
merit your favorable consideration.
With best wishes for the new ad,
ninistration which you are about tc
enter | beg to remain,
Yours very truly,
A. USINA.

Among the visitors to the city last
week was the Rev. W. T. Caveli, rec
tor of st. James Episcopal church,
Lake City. Rev. DR.. CaveIl officiated
at st. Marks church last Sunday, and
being in the city took the occasion
to walk about and see what Palatka
mad to offer in the way of beauty or
advantages. That he found some
beauty is apparent from the following
letter written since his return home:
The Rectory, Lake City, 3-18-13.
Mrs Geo. f. Gay, Palatka, Fla.
Dear Mrs. Gay:-I am told by my
dear friends, the Worden family, that
1t Is to you Palatka is indebted for
the beautiful lawns around the coun-
ty and city buildings. Being great
lover Of lawns and flowers, will YOU
be so kind as to let me know what
seed, or sod, you had used in the
grounds? | have travelled much
through the State, and cannot recall
an instance which is so beautiful as
that around your public library.
Kindly pardon the trouble | have put
you to for an answer
Very sincerely,
W. T. CAVELL,
Rector st. James Church.

Eugene Hunt, of the well known
orange and produce firm of Hardee
Mcfarland & Hunt, who was serions,
ly injured in collision by his motor
cycle with an automobile near Fort
Lauderdale, died as a result Of his
injuries at the Beyard Hotel, Fort
Lauderdale, early in the present
week. On Wednesday he was bu.
ried at Minneola, Lake county. his
former home. Mr.. Hunt spent n
large part of his time during the
past winter in Crescent CITY, where
his firm early in the year purchased
a large orange packing house and
where he superintended the consign-
ment of a large part of the citrus
crop of that section. Mr.. Hunt was
held in high esteem and his methods
of business made strong appeal
to the growers. His home for the
past seven years has been at Orlan-
do. Mr.. Hunt was about forty-eight
years of age and came to Florida
from New York some twenty-five or
thirty years ago. Besides his wife,
who was with him when death came,
he leaves two sons, John and Bruce
Hunt. the former following the voca-
ton Of his father, while the latter is
a student in the State University at
Gainesville.

BOARD OF TRADE
TO HAVE EXHIBIT
OF Manufactured and AgricuI-
turaI Products.

The handsome rooms of the Board
of Trade, at No. 124 South Second
street, has a department especially
set aside for exhibits of agricultural
and manufactured products.
The manufacturers Of the city have
been awarded space in this depart
ment, and it is the hope of the secre-
tary that the farmers and gardeners
and the ladies will supply attractive
exhibits to be placed here. Any and
all agricultural products will be CRATE
fully received, and canned and pre-
served goods will be exhibited and
held subject to the owners wishes,
although generally, the secretary
would prefer that these articles be
rendered so that the same may be
under the exclusive care of the board.
1t is very much hoped that the cit
izen3 of Putnam county will be inter-
ested in this department, as these
exhibits, wherever located, advertise
a section better than it can be done
in almost any other way.
The Board of Trade will be glad
to hear from anybody on this sub
ject, and receive suggestions from its
members, as to the operation of these
exhibits and will be more than glad
to receive some of the native pro-
ducts to place on exhibit.

A ROME, GEORGIA,
ADvERTlSEME ENT
That Does Some Plugging for
PaIatka.

Among the recent visitors to Pa
latka who made his headquarters at
the Putnam House and appears TO
have gotten his moneys worth in
pleasure and comfort, was Col. John
H. Reynolds, president of the lirst
National Bank of Rome, Ga. One
reason why we think Col. Reynolds
was pleased with PalatKa is, that on
his return home he caused the follow
ing advertisement to appear in his
regular bark space in Tac Rome Tri-
bune- Herald:
FIRST NATIONAL BANK.
Rome, Ga, March /, 1919.
Readers Tribune Herald:
While ! did not get time 10 see
much of the surroundings of Palatka,
Florida, saw and heard enough to
believe it is a very prosperous sec
ton. Great attention is being paid
to raising Irish potatoes. Will Led
better told me of one man, who last
year, shipped 175,0O0 barrels and then
Will had the nerve to tell me that
the man got $500 per barrel. l
asked Will if he saw anything green
in my eye, but he stood up to his
statement and said the man was
planting for 100000 barrels this
year 1t seems that the soil is pecu-
liarly adapted to potatoes-sand un-
derlaid with black soil. There is
every evidence of prosperity around
Palatka, paved streets and good
homes.
The Putnam House is something
extra of a hotel. 1t is the best
equipped country hotel | ever saw.
By country hotel, mean away from
large city or large popular resort
There is an air of comfort about it.
The very large reception room and
office combined, is covered with car
pet, which impresses one quickly to
be quiet. The porches, the leather
cushioned chairs, the evergreens, the
park of court, with showers of wa
ter, all combine to make this a most
delightful resting place.
The Putnam House, like the First
National Bank of Rome, Ga, gives
you comfort, and safety. We invite
you to join US. 1t costs you nothing
to have all the convenience and safety
that the First National affords.
Very respectfully,
JOHN II. REYNOLDS,
President.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
SHOULD BE ADOPTED.
Senators Should be Elected by Direct
Vote of the People, Says N N
Senator Bryan.

ksOnvile.-Senator Nat Bryan
Florida Legislature adopt the amend
mcnt to the federal constitution favor
ing the election of United States sena-
tors by the direct vote of the people.
In speaking of this amendment Sena-
tor Bryan said: Il believe the legisla-
ture which meets next month, should
adopt the amendment. Section 16 Of
the state constitution, provides that
whenever an amendment to the fere-
raj constitution is proposed it may be
adopted either hv tho legislature or
in convention. j.. ,-.G | rovides that
this amendment cannot be adopted by
the convention or legislature to which
it is first submitted, but to newly
elected body.
"When our law makers met the last
time they did not vote upon the
amendment for the income tax be-
cause some of them thought the hold
over senators kept the body from be-
ing a newly elected legislature. 1t is
my opinion that this was a misinter-
pretation of the law. l think each
regular session should be regarded as
new legislature. For this reason l
believe the 1913 legislature has right
to vote upon the present amendment.
Some thirty states have already adopt
ed the amendment, and if our law
makers do not act next month they
will have no voice in the changing Of
the federal constitution. We lost out
in the fast change, and will do the
same thing this time if the law max
crs do not act this spring as | am
sure enough states will ratify the
amendment this summer to adopt it."

Blind tigers are not easy to trail.
Their very blindness seems to prevent
rather than assist at their capture.

Two were permitted to go; the proof
of their blindness was not sufficient
to hold them in the Reid street asy-

Another matter that has been pro-
life of much local criticism is the
loose manner of collecting and ac-
ounting for the toll money earned
jy the bridges. These bridges (here
and at Dunn's Creek cost the tax
payers of Putnam county nearly
100000, and by every consideration
of business and justice their manage
ment should be conducted on strict
business principles This has. not
been the case in the past. The col
lections and report of toll collections
should be subjected to some system
of checking so that the people may
be furnished with the exact amount
If the tolls from month to month and
learn of the increase in the bridge
traffic. The bridge tender who IS
entrusted with the possibility OF
collecting tolls is under no bond and
there is no means Of knowing, except
from his monthly report, lust what
business has been done. The News
would rot reflect on the honesty Of
the bridge tender but he as well as
he public is interested in having the
.ountv business transacted along bus
mess lines. This has not been the
.ase The bridge is now earning an
average of about $500 per month and
this amount will grow rapidly in the
future. 1t should be accounted 70.
in a business-like manner by some
system of checking.
