Drayman John Boyle's horse at
Jached to the wagon and driven by
Mr.. Boyle, ran away last Wednes-
lay evening just before 7 o'clock, do
ing some damage and giving Mr.
Boyle jolt he will not soon forget
What started the old horse is not
Known; he was first seen running up
Second street in front of Mr., Kenncr-
US residence with Boyle in the seat
rying to control him. He passed the
Saratoga Hotel running at full speed
which is some faSt) and near the
,Orner of Reid street sWerved toward
The curb in front of the city hall,
striking the curb and giving the wa
gon a jolt which threw off the big sun
umbrella. The horse then took the
middle Of the street and as he passed
he intersection of Reid, Boyle was
5een to jump from the rear of the wa
gon. He fell as he jumped and lay
ike one dead. DR.. Geo E. Welch who
was sitting on the Putnam House
porch ran to his assistance and saw
hat Boyle had been knocked sense

ga Hotel ran for a pitcher of ice wa.

IN his head and face and some of il
went into his mouth; this Boyle threw

sciousness. AS he spat the water on
I bystander thought he heard hin
murmur, ''water, water everywhere
but not a drop to drink" Boyle wa!
soon able to get up and was sen
home in a wagon.
The horse continued its flight t.
Lemon street and ran into the plat,
glass of the W. S. Fry store head
first, breaking the big, thick glass in
to sphnters. Had it not been for tn

A big crowd gathered to see tn

PALATKA FANS
WITNESS REAL BALL
PaIatka-Hastings Series are
Genuine Stuff.

PaIatka has gone "dippy" on base
ball; it always does when furnished
with a kind that has the snap attach
ed. The series of games now being
played with Hastings is this kind.
On Tuesday afternoon the business
Of the city was practically suspended
so that all might see the game. Not
more than one clerk was left to a
store, and this one had nothing to do.
The streets were deserted for the
game.
1t was the fourth of the series and
if won by the home team meant victo
ry for Palatka, our club having al
ready won two Of the three former
games.
But it did not prove a victory for
Palatka, and neither was it a victory
for Hastings. It was a tie. 1t was a
pitchers battle, in which Weidell of
the Columbus South Atlantic League
club was in the box for Hastings, and
Wolf, formerly of the Charleston club

Calhnnn for County Ludge.

There seems to be a general under,
standing among the lawyers of Pal
latla that all will give their support
to Attorney Julian C. Calhoun for the
office of County Judge to fill the un-
expired term of Judge Haskell, who
last week announced his determina-
ton to retire during the coming fall
or winter, and which announcement
was made exclusively in The News.
Judge Calhoun is the present mum
cipal Judge of Palatka and one of the
city's youngest and most popular as
we'll as brilliant attorneys. He is the
Youngest son of the late Hon. Benz
l.. Calhoun.
1t may be that there vii, b. other
candidates, but it seems 70 be under
stood here at least that nolle of the
other attorneys of Palatka Vii strive
for the place.

Tallahassee. Fla, Aug. %, 191;

Tallahassee, Fla, Aug. %, 1918.
Hon. Park Trammell, Governor.
Dear Sir:-Complying with your
etter Of July 7th, last, with attached
lie in correspondence with the Hon.
Geo. B. Selden, Chairman board of
)ond trustees of Putnam county
| went to Palatka on July Goth, and
examined the records and files of the
board. My investigation was very
satisfactory, and showed that the
,ounty funds had been wisely and ju-
liciously handled
On May 7th, 1909, the board of
county commissioners issued bonds to
oe used for public improvements ag-
gregating one hundred and ninety
thousand ($190,000.00) dollars. These
bonds were sold for $191, 10000, thus
realizing a net profit of $1,90O00, or
[ per cent, by the sale. This money
was distributed between several banks
1T per cent interest on CALL and on
ly withdrawn as necessity demanded.
The bonds are payable as follows:
$25,0O0.00 in fifteen years.
S20,O0000 in twenty-five years.
$2O,OOO.OO in twenty-seven years.
S4O,000O0 in thirty-five years.
$40,000.00 in forty years.
$45,000,O0 in forty-five years.
Total, $19O,0O0,OO
1t will require about $11 100000 rev.
enue annually to carry out the plan of
redemption.
Please note the attached cash ac-
count, which is part of this report.
By reference to this account, you
will observe that the board has now
on hand $6,090.32. | deem it necessa-
y for them to hold this amount to
take care of the semi-annual coupon
| payments as they fall due; the next
payment being. in November, amount
ing to $4,75000, and little, or moth
| ng more, can be expected from the
collection of taxes before that time.
In fact, think the board should al
ways be prepared to meet the semi
annual payments as they fall due lin
May and November) and thereby
avoid any chance of failure to take up
the coupons at maturity.
| The fact that the bond trustees, by
judicious handling of the funds in
trusted to them, were able to accu-
mulate $S,460.00 earned interest, rem
ders the future financial problem easy.
The board has charged nothing for
services rendered, and the only ex-
pense incurred by it, except few
dollars for transportation on tours of
inspection, has been S25.0O per month
for keeping the accounts, and this
amount has now been reduced to SIC
per month, since the work has been
brought down to a minimum.
Too much praise cannot be accord
ed to the board for the wise handling
of the funds intrusted to it.
All of which is most respectful,
submitted

Asst State Auditor

pALATKA'S MOST
PRESSING need
Is a New School Building
Will il Be Realized?

On Tuesday, September 9Th, the
free holders of the Palatka special tax
school district will be called upon to
decide at the polls whether or not they
will consent to the issue of bonds for
the purpose of erecting new high
school building.
The present building is wholly mad
equate to care for the pupils.
1t is an eye-sore and a fire trap and
is unsanitary. 1t is the rone thing
citizens will not point out to strang-
2rs. They are ashamed to acknowl-
edge that progressive Palatka has
been negligent of its children.
There is some opposition to the
bond issue. Of course there is. There
never was proposition that did not
meet with opposition. Some think
the bond issue of $4,000. too mach.
Some oppose the spending Of $l5,h0O
of this money on the colorrd school.
Some think there may be a graft"
in it for some one.
1t is too late for The News to an
swer these objections, even were it 50
disposed. 1t may be that the county
board did not proceed rightly. But
they have proceeded" and the matter
is before us. The News is for every
kind of improvement. 1t will not OPP
pose any sort of improvement (espe-
cially school improvement just be-
cause every detail of the steps lead
ing up to it have not been conducted
according to its own ideas.
Palatka needs this school. This is
bo TIME ITO CJTpDI " TIL ATT NTEED
Five years ago Kissimmee erected
new school at cost of 100000. The
city has now found that it made a mis-
take in not building a larger, more eX-
pensive school.
Fort Myers erected a new school
building in 1911 at a cost of $4,000
Last year for lack of room the school
board had to remodel a barn in the
court house lot to take care of some
ninety odd pupils who could not be
accommodated in the new school
building.
West Palm Beach has one of the
finest, best equipped school buildings
in the state, erected four years ago
at a cost of nearly $80,O00 The town
has outgrown this building and on
August 21st voted another bond issue
Of $35,000 to provide a new building
Just for the primary pupils.
These towns are all smaller than
Palatka.
School buildings bring people. Ev-
cry town that denied itself to build
school houses of a high order for the
children has shown an increased pop
ulation. Increase of populari n means
increased school needs.
A fire once started in the present
Palatka high school during school
hours would mean a holocaust-Pa-
latka's sacrifice to greed. This is not
new Idea. 1t has been talked of in
whispers by business men for years.
Yes, there are some objections.
Taxes will be higher-about four mills
higher-but every good thing costs
money. And yet, Mr.. Taxpayer,
what's money when placed alongside
7our child's life and greatest oppor-
tunity for advancement?
The News has said it before, but
will say it again; there is no improve.
ment that could he sprung at this time
that would result in booming Palatka
like new school building. Vote for
it. All objections, as to methods, etc .,
melt into nothingness when compared
to this urgent need.

Louis and Carlos Canova Injured

During the baseball game on Tues
day afternoon, and at the time when
the Palatka team made the tieing
score, some young men on the upper
seat of the grand stand got so en-
enthused that they jumped to their
feet and executed a jumping dance
Their display of enthusiasm caused
the seat to break, and Messrs. Louis
and Carlos Canova, who were sitting
together, fell through to the ground
In their fall they struck their backs
against the supporting timbers and
for time it was thought they were
seriously injured.
The young men were hurried into
automobiles and carried down town.
Louis was taken to DR.. Welch's office
where he was attended to, and Carlos
was hurried to the office Of DR.. Steen.
Both were given a thorough eXami-
nation by the physicians and it was
found that they had not been seriously
injured, though both suffered eXcru.
ciating pain.
They were taken from the physi
clans office to their fathers home
where they rested through the night
and in the morning both were re.
ported resting easy.
Louis Canova's injury was con.
cussion of the spine, the hurt being
near the shoulders. Carlos wa
much the same as that Of his brother
though nearer the small of the back
They are both sitting up and thougl
still sore are making steady improve
ment. There was much anxiety al
during the afternoon and night of tn
scciden tbecause of the prominenc
of the injured young men. and ther
was a great feeling of relief when
was learned that their injuries wer
mot considered serious.
