Washington, Sept. 13.-Senator-
Fletcher was jubilant after reading
the report of the board of engineers,
approving the immediate construc-
tion of the ort-Jacksonville sec
ton Of the Boston-Rio Grande inter-
coastal canal at the rate Of 100000
per year in appropriations.
I'VE have been waiting for this re-
port for MONTHS said Senator Flet-
cher. Il have no doubt it means
favorable action by Congress at once,
on this great project.
The adverse report toward the
construction of the trans-Florida
barge canal by the Lake Harris route
will net prevent work actually going
ahead on this project" continued the
senator. Il have just been notified
that the board of engineers have ask
eI Major Slattery of Jacksonville for
additional data on the Oklawaha riv-
er, indicating they will soon make
a favorable report on improving this
stream as far as Leesburg. This will
carry the canal half way across the
state, making the rest OF the work
of cutting through the divide COM

great interest an article in your issue
of September Sth, 1913, signei Ey

will have them soon if we haven't
got them now. What every fair
minded man must object TO in Mr.
Tilghman' article is that he gives
the impression and does so Intention
ally that all the progress and i'm
prOvements he mentions is because
whisky was voted out of Putnam
county, whereas, as a matter of fact,
and it cannot be truthfully disputed,
we have these improvements because
city and county borrowed about
these very improvements.
This money was borrowed on
bonds, issued according to law, be-
cause a majority Of the wet and dry
men of both city and county voted
Ger them.
These men were not Influenced to
this act because the county went dry,
bat because they wanted these i-;-
provements and there was no other
legal way of getting this money.
There is no connection between the
county going dry and the bond issue
of the county and city.
If Mr.. Tilghman is correct in this
lCgic or accurate in his assertions, it
would follow that not only every
other dry town and county in our
state had prospered equally with
Palatka, but that those towns and
counties in the state which have not
voted whisky out, have not prosper

COUPON LAW IN THE COURTS
FEDERAL COURT MONTGOMERY
Disputes Jurisdiction United States
Law is

Jacksonville, Sept. 13.-In behalf
OF Tax Collector John w. Rast and
other defendants in the celebrated
anti-coupon suit, arguments on which
will be heard September Is. before
Circuit Judge Shelby and District
Judges Call and Shepard, at Hunts
vile, Ala, Attorney General Thomas
F. West, today filed in federal court
a motion to dismiss the suit of the
Van Deman & Lewis Company, and
other complainants. Among the
grounds offered for dismissal is that
the federal court has no jurisdiction
in the matter.
The belief is growing among bus
mess men and lawyers, however, that
the state law against coupons, passed
at the recent legislative session, will
be declared unconstitutional by the
three judges.

ed at all. Have Jacksonville. St.
Augustine, Miami, Tampa and Pen
.sacola made no improvements or
growth as has Palatka in the past six
years?
Have other dry counties and towns
that have issued no bonds to borrow
money spent as much in improve
.ments as have Palatka, and Putnam
'cOunty? Why not; if being dry is
the only requisite to prosperity?
Mr.. Tilghman omits to state the
colored churches mentioned by him
borrowed the money to build what
they have from a prominent wet man
of Palatka. Is it quite fair to assert
he cid this because the county went
dry? No; it was a business trans
action and carried through on clean
business principles, be it said to the
credit Of the colored people of Palat-
ka
Mr.. Tilghman omitted also to state
that the taxpayers OF Palatka and
Putnam county are paying in the
neighborhood of $4,000 per year
interest for the pleasure of these i'm
provements, and the privilege of be-
ing dry; he also omitted to give the
number of blind tigers and tiger ar
rests, something like 90 to 100 per
year, and every few days a new one
is discovered. Since Putnam county
voted dry three criminals have been
hung, half the number hung in the
whole history of Putnam county. The
records OF Putnam county show more
crimes have Eeen committed, caused

was openly sold.

there are bad, Iawless wet men,
just as there are doubIe-faced, hypo-
critical dry men, and there two ele-
ments in both factions cause all or
most of the trouble AMI friction, but
because there are unreasonable men
on both sides, does it justify sincere,
honest men like Mr.. Tilghman in at

cannot be bore out by facts?

never been a day when whisky has.

l am told they have pretty good
streets in the town now.
Let the dry men recognize the fact
that the wet men have every right
