WARS AND SOCIALISM.

There will never be a war be-
tween Germany and England
over the Morocco or any other
question. The workingmen Of
those nations would never stand
for it. And for the same reason
there wi never be another war
between Germany and France.
With war between Italy and
Turkey socialism has. very little
to do, because there are no So
cialists in Turkey and but few
in Italy. But we count at least
100000 Italians under the social
istic flag, ard it is probable that
these may ask why their govern
ment should expend in war the
millions that could be used in
education and the building Of
factories. 1t is no exaggeration
to say that the greatest power
for peace in the world today is
the socialistic movement. The
wars Of the present are fought
for the extension of trade, but
the workmen have to fight them.
They also have to furnish the
sinews. the money, at least the
largest part of 1t. The only ones
that profit are the traders. the
manufacturers. the bankers and
l might add the lawyers. There
fore the working class has no
interest in war.-CongreSSman

PALATKA POTATO
LANDS IN DEMAND
Jack Becks Sells the Exten-
SiVe HiIburn-vertrees
Tract.

The biggest real estate deal for this
section in many a day was made on
Friday last when P. j. Becks, Palat-
ka's hustling real estate dealer, con-
cluded the deal transferring the ex-
tensive holdings of Hon. S. j. Hilburn
and the estate of the late Judge Ver-
trees on the east side of the river IT,
r. j. McReynolds of Hopkinsville, Ky,
and Il. S. Bohon and John Feree OK
Decatur, Ill.
The tract reaches from the ST.
Johns river on the east land on which
there is a mile-and-a- half frontage)
to Orange Mills and the Florida East
Coast Railway on the west, and COM
prises a total of 2,067 acres, the great
bulk of which is choice potato and
fruit lands.
The consideration was $4,000.
The purchasers have organized a
company to develop the lands by cut
ting roads and other needed improve
ments, and will offer the same in small
farms to actual settlers. John Feree
is the secretary and treasurer. The
company has made Mr.. Becks its res
ident agent and he will sell the farms.
Probably no more important deal
affecting the future of Palatka and
this section has been made in a dec
ade. The deal means the settling up
and development of one of the most
valuable tracts of potato, fruit and
vegetable lands in the state.

Then and Now,

Prior to the last Is years. by the
time people had attained their first
quarter of a century they considered
themselves pretty much formed as to
physical and mental characteristics.
If they were ambitious and energetic
they perhaps carried on some kind
of exercise for their physical well-be-
ing, and guarded against mental de-
terioration as they advanced in years
by occasionally taking up new studies
or reviewing old ones; as dear old
lady of my acquaintance at the age or
eighty-nine began to review her al
zebra to keep her mind active.
Now everything is changed. We
cannot settle down comfortably in the
thought of anything in the regular
routine of life which we may not be
called upon to alter at a moments
notice. Most of us, have found that
few of our established habits are
right and that unless we are willing
to be left hopelessly behind our asso-
ciates We must learn over again all
that We acquired in infancy, and that
has since become a matter of auto
matte aCtion.-The Atlantic.

New Russian Oil Reqion.

While Baku is known as the great
oil producing province of Russia, and
its wells have produced immense guam
titles, its reputation bids fair to be
overshadowed by the new region, tho
Saliany Steppe. Saliany is about 1876
miles distant from the city Of Baku, on
the shore of the Caspian sea, at the
mouth of the Kura, the largest river
in the Caucasus. Its position is a COM
manding one, both for supplying the
European and eastern market. The
petroleum deposits in the Saliany
steppe have been known for years, but
only recently has attention been at
tracted thereto. The possibilities are
very great.

PALATKA'S GREAT
Rail WAY SLEUTH
LOOses the Trail. but Gets his
Name in the Times Union.

Mondays Times-Union contained a
"turrible tale" of b-lud and mystery
and escape from sudden death and the
successful getaway" of two desper-
ate automobile thieves who had
wrecked their machine by crashing
into tree up Lemon street.
The story was credited to I'D. O.
English, the well-known railroad de-
tective of Palatka" who was first on
the ground after the wreck and who,
taking the number of the machine,
traced it to Jacksonville and to a man
who had never heard of it.
The Jacksonville police are said to
be still very much worked up over the
mystery Of the thing, but they need
worry no longer.
The great railroad detective men,
toned as the hero in the case is none
other than Dave English, a negro
well-known in Palatka as the keeper
of house of shady resort for shaded
people in the shadowy end of the city.
The wrecked car was not owned in
Jacksonville. The real owner and q
| friend were visitors in the city, At the
depot the owner was taken ill. He
had a bad attack of acute Indigestion.
His friend and companion drove the
car down town for a physician. At
the time of the wreck he and we'll
known physician of this city were
hurrying to the relief of the sick man
At Eleventh street the car which w2r
going the pace skidded as it turned
the corner and ran into tree. The

careful analysis of the situation and
professional deductions detective"
English came to the conclusion that
this was no fault of the tree.
The physician did say, "Well, let's
get away from here" and they hurri-
ed to the sick man whom they remoV-
ed to a downtown hotel.
Palatka has but one real detective
and even he has no official place. He
is a private detective. His maiden
name is Shivers. Mr.. Shivers is g
detective right. You wouldn't know
it from his looks. He is bald-head-
ed gentleman who is thoroughly post
ed on hair restoratives, but whose
manners would never lead you to sus-
pect that behind a smiling counte-
nance he hides complex and clock
like brain that's stuffed with erudi-
ton as you'd stuff leather cushion,
and which works with the precision
and regularity of the mechanism be-
hind the $50 G. m. whistle at Will
sons mill. That part of Mr.. Shiv-
erss' brain which has been set off into
special compartment for detective
work operates by deduction. The
case under consideration is stated to
him in the order of it's happening, he
may ask questions; don't interfere
with him; after all has been said he
but touches the button of his brain
compartment which has been dedi-
Gated to the solution of mysteries anc
| it works by deduction. Mr.. ShiverS
is only a private detective, but he
should have no trouble in securing pa
irons in this town of mysteries anG
blind tigers and sich like things. The
News would also recommend to the
police department of Jacksonville
that in future cases of mystery 1t
would save much anxiety in substitu
ting Shivers for detective" En-
glish as its Palatka representative.

COUNTY Is GOING To
ENFORCE ROAD LAW
Sheriff Instructed TO Make
Non-Taxpayers Work Five
DAYS on Roads.

The board of county commissioners
took up a number of matters at its
meeting this week which will work
out to the advantage of the people.
One of the most important of these
was the resolution instructing Sherif
Kennerly to enforce the law which
empowers that official to compel all
non-taxpaying citizens to work five
days each year on the public roads;
this law only affects citizens under
the age of As and was probably enact
ed with the view of getting some ex.
preston of appreciation from the
class affected concerning their glo-
rious privilege of living in a land of
the free and the home of the blind
tiger. Each of the commissioners il
to furnish the sheriff with a list of
names of citizens in his district who
are subject to this labor-tax draft 1t
is estimated that the enforcement or
this law will give the county roads la
Dor worth $4,000 year.
The Federal government is going
to build a so mile post road in Flo
rida-a sort of Appian Way over
which rural delivery post carriers can
make time. For every $4,000 spent
by the government on this road each
subdivision of the state through
which it passes must put up an add
tional $4,000. The board will 10 its
utmost to have this fifty mile post
road pass through Putnam county and
has placed the matter in the hands Of
Commissioner Curry who will do his

ready written the Governor apprais-
ing him of the fact that Putnam coun-
ty has already spent 100000 for good
roads, fact which it is thought will
place US on the map as deserving Of
favorable consideration when the gov
ernment comes to the point of selec-
ton.
The board also passed a resolution
on Monday requesting the board OF
trustees for county bonds to advise
whether or not they would honor a
warrant of the commissioners for
money on the balance in hand with
which to build additional roads. III
compliance with the request Trustee
Selden appeared before the commits
sioners next day and said his board
would not honor such warrant.
