All the mysteries and beauties of the
Orient have been woven into this re-
markable three-part feature production,
which is characterized by the superb
acting of notable cast. Miss Elsie Al

with all the skill of finished actress.

The FlOrahOme Drainage Bill.

Tallahassee, Fla, May 14.-Special
to Palatka News.-On motion of Rem
resentative Russell the Wall Senate
Bill No. 8, repeating the Florahome
Drainage Act of 1911, was indefinite
" postponed on Tuesday morning.
Mr.. Middleton made short talk in
which he stated the grounds of his
opposition. One of these was that
ne thought the Palatka board of
trade had gone out of its way to en-
iorse measure that was neighbor-
hood affair. Mr.. Russell talked at
some length on his motion, going into
the history of the drainage work and
making most convincing exhibit of
protests of tax payers in the district.
Mr.. RusselIs position was sustained
by an overwhelming vote.
Today Senator Wall and Represen-
tative Russell met on the street and
Mr.. Russell made the Senator a pro-
position that the matter of what
lands should come out of the present
district be left to a committee of cit
liens familiar with the situation and
representing all sides to the contro-
yersy. Mr.. Russell suggested Mr..
watkins as proper man to repre-
sent the anti-drainage element, DR..
Sipprell the drainage people, and
these to select third man who was
familiar with the matter, who was
not opposed to the drainage, but who
was in favor of cutting out some of
the men who deem themselves un-
Justly taxed, and yet whs would be
willing to protect the interests of the
drainage men. Mr.. Wall has con-
sented to the plan. By this it is
hoped to end all present controversy,
reserve the drainage scheme, get
through plan for bonding the drain
age district and relieve the poor men
whom all recognize are not properly
the subjects for the present drain,
age tax. Mr.. Russell has favored a
measure of this kind all the time,
but he was not willing to allow the
interests of the people whose hopes
are based on nothing less than drained
lands and succotasch.
1t now looks as if peace was aAont
to be re-established and the greeH
grass would be able to grew Al
around.

BUSINESS MEMS
ASSOCIATION.
Held a Big Meeting Last Mon.
day Niqht.

The meeting of the Palatka Busi-
ness Mems Association held on Mon
day night at the board of trade rooms,
was well attended and enthusiastic
in many of its details.
1t was brought to the attention of
the Association that there are many
itlnerant statesmen, children and wo-
men, selling goods in Palatka by SAM
pie, some of hich violate the pure food
laws; and that these agents are oper-
atlng in the city without paying any
license and taxes. One prominent
merchant stated that he could not
object to proper competition, but that
he wanted to compete with people
who operated on the same basis he
operated on; but that he considered
it a hardship on Palatka merchants
to be compelled to compete with peo-
pie who pay no rent, taxes or license.
1t was stated at the meeting also,
that the prices of the itinsrant sales
men are as high, and in some instanc.
es, higher, than Palatka prices, and
in a number of cases the goods are
far inferior to those handled by the
Palatka merchants.
A committee composed of Messrs.
Stephens, Turnage, Curry, c. ].
Smith and Comick, was appointed to
go before the city council and ascer-
tain whether or not these outsiders
are liable for a license; and, if so,
that they be made 20 pay or suffer
the consequences.
Another matter of Importance that
was discussed was the organization
at Palatka, of either Farmers and
Truckers Association, or a Produce
and Commission house, for assem-
bling and shipping the surplus pro-
ducts Of the Palatka district. There
seems to be a crying need for some
method of handling the ex-
cess production of the truck grow
ers, and it is believed that should
such an arrangement be made, it will
serve as a great stimulus to the bus
ness.
The matter of half holiday for mer-
'hants and their employees was also
brought up, resulting in the passage
If resolution recommending that all
merchants be requested to close at |
o'clock each Thursday, from the
5th day of June to the 4th day of |
September.

Trouble at Satterlee's.
(Class Play.)
------Celtic Maid of the Seminary.
Miss Priscilla Hamm

The students of this grade showed
that they had been well trained and
the audience thoroughly enjoyed the
program from beginning to end. As
a rule school commencement pro-
grams are a little tedious and dry,
but not so with this one. The Glass
History by Elizabeth Pursley, and the
defamation by Max Wilson were es-
pecially enjoyed.
The characters in the class play
were we'll taken and displayed con-
siderable talent for such youthful la
dies. Miss Lille Kanner, as the lady
principal, and Miss Priscilla Hamm,
as the Celtic maid, were particu-
larly good.

Baccaulaureate Sermon.

Sunday evening at 1880 the First
Baptist church was filled with our
people to hear the sermon to the
graduating class preached by Rev.
E. 2. F. Golden.
The class met at the home of Prof
Van Brunt, and with the teachers,
marched to the church in body and
occupied seats reserved for them i'm
mediately in front of the speaker.
The class colors, black and yellow,
were in evidence, and the floral de-
corations were simple and effective.
The pots containing flowers were de-
corated with yellow and black, and
the seats set apart for the graduates
were marked by bows and streamers
of satin ribbon of the same colors.
The service was union one and on
the rostrum were seated Rev. W. NJ.
Poage of the Methodist church, Dr..
]. W. Purcell of the Presbyterian
church, DR.. Golden, the speaker of
the evening, and the pastor, Rev. P.
Quintius Cason, all of whom took
part in the service.
DIR. Golden delivered an eloquent
sermon, and his charge to the grad
yates was very impressive.
A large choir rendered several
beautiful selections.

The crowd that gathered at the

The Executive Session So Called


1t has developed since Thursday
night of last week that the city coun-
Gil was in secret session for the pur-
pose of discussing with their attorney
the advisability of extending the cor
porate limits Of the city of Palatka.
When it was learned that the sec
ton proposed to be annexed included
the best portion of Palatka Heights,
a separate corporation, those people
began to protest, and have sent their
protest to Tallahassee.
A bill has been introduced in the
Senate by Senator John P. Wall
granting the city of Palatak right to
annex this territory; but The News
feels that the Palatka Heights peo-
pie need have no fear of the division
Of their Incorporation.
The News has no lawyer on its
staff, but all the law its representa-
tive has been able to find in the Cen
eral Statutes of the State of Florida,
states specifically that from 80 to 60
days notice has to be given of the
intent of such division, depending
upon whether the people of the two
municipalities make the division or
whether it is made by a special act
Of the legislature.
1t seems to The News that the city
council has gone about the matter in
the wrong way.

MANY NEW CLASSES.
onss and Feeder Cattle and Jerseys viii Have
Inning al Fort Worth Show From
November 22 to 20.

November 22 to 20.
Every livestock producer in Tex.
as will find something to interest
him at the National Feeders and
Breeders Show, which will be held
in Fort Worth November % to 30.
Beginning on a comparatively small
scale some eighteen years ago, the
show has grown rapidly until today
it is representative of every class
and type of livestock that is pro-
duced in Texas.
More improvements have been
made within the past year than ever
before in its history. Many classes
in all divisions have been added.
Prominent among the new classes
are those for grass and feeder cattle.
In previous years, the National
Feeders and Breeders Show has
specialized on fat cattle-the mar
ketable kind-but it has been
brought to the realization that the
other classes had right to substan-
tial recognition. During the past
two years, Fort Worth has leaped
into prominence as the second great
est feeder market in the world.
These added classes are expected to
bring a host of new exhibitors and
feeder buyers from all over the
Southwest-in fact, the entire coun-
try-are being apprised of the ex-
hibit and are expected to flock to
Fort Worth by the hundreds during
the show.
Realizing the growing Importance
Of the Jersey industry in the South
west-particularly in Texas-the
management of the show has created
classes for this kind Of cattle this
fall for the first time. Already, a
number of entries have been received
and it is expected that the exhibit
viii! be the finest in the Jersey line
ever witnessed in Texas. The Las
alter prize winning herd, which has
swept like wildfire through the
shows of the North, will exhibit at
Fort Worth alone Of the big Texas
shows this fall.
More than $4,000 in Plies will
be awarded at the great livestock ex-
position this fall, to say nothing OF
a prize list of more than $4,000,
which will be offered in the night
Horse Show. This is the largest
premium list vet issued and the ex-
hibitors thrt ..ghout the State are
showing their appreciation by send
ing in their entries earlier than ever
before. Despite the fact that the
change of date from spring to fall
will interfere at first with the bull
sales of the producer, the step has
met with almost unqualified ap-
proyal.
