INTERLACHEN.

A large delegation from 1nterlach-
en- and Mannville went over to Orange
Springs to enjoy the music, the speak
ing-and the barbecue. The music
was all right, and everybody could
hear and enjoy it; the speeches no
doubt were just as good-but the mo-
tor cycle fiend succeeded remarkably
well in preventing the entire crowd
from hearing much of that part of the
program, and not even the excellent
dinner quite compensated for that dis
appointment.

A SLICK SW|NDLER
BUNCOS PALATKAN
Who Endorses His Check =
Poses as a Physician.

Beware of one DR.. j. D. Cooper who
claims Valdosta, Ga, as his home.
He is plausible swindler who op.
crates generally among physicians
He is doctor and when he enters
a town his plan is to make the ac-
quaintance of doctors.
DR.. j. c.. Chandler of this city
knows something Of him; he was for
a time in the same college, though
in junior class. Cooper didn't toy
with Dr. Chandler while in Palatka,
but he did call on one of our other
physicians and secured his endorse
ment to 500 check on a Valdosta
ban3. He first showed the physi-
clan a deposit book on the bank; said
he was a stranger in town and only
wanted to be identified. He needed
the money to pay over to DR.. Warren
as Secretary of the State Examining
board for his entrance fee. The Pa
latka physician endorsed the check.
Later the check came back and the
Palatka physician had it to pay. He
then wrote to the Valdosta bank, and
the cashier said they had no knowl-
edge of any such man as j. c. Cooper,
except that goodly number of his
checks had been coming to them; that
no such man as Dr. J. D. Cooper ever
had an account with them.
Cooper also secured $35 in the
same way from physician at Has
tings, and report is that he secured
even more than that from a certain
young physician in Crescent City
some weeks ago.
The man calls on his intended vic
tim and talks "shop." He is a ply
sician and is seeking a location and
wants advice. He spends some time
with his intended victim, makes him
self agreeable and before leaving
asks as "mere matter of form" that |
he be identified at the bank. This
he generally gets.
The man is still at large in Florida
and other doctors should be on the
lookout for him. He may need furth-
er identification.
Cooper is a man possibly 35 years
of age; looks like a country doctor
and may have been one for all we
know. But just now collections are
bad in the cotton belt and are appar-
entity mu h easier in Florida.

Hunters Licenses Now Due.

Commissioner E. z. Jones of the De-
partment of Game and Fish advises
us that hunters licenses have been
placed in the hands of the County
Judges. He has also placed applica-
ton blanks for these licenses in the
hands of all Justices of the Peace,
which will be a great convenience to
many who live remote from the coun-
ty seat. By appearing before the
nearest Justice of the Peace and max
ing application under oath and pay
ing the required license fee, the IL
cense will be issued.
A county license permits the hol-
der to hunt in his county only; a
State license permits the holder to
hunt in any county in the State. A
county license costs citizens of the
State 81; State license costs So.
Commissioner Jones says:
at has been brought to my atten-
ton that those game-hogs who are
opposed to the enforcement of these
laws and opposed to the encourage
ment of growing civilization are 60
inc to defy me in the enforcement of
same. For their information | at
tach hereto a list of names of men
who have defied me since assuming
the duties of this office who met with
prosecution. For their further bene-
fit l will have in every county extra
men under special instructions to en-
force the laws governing this depart
ment."
In the list of men prosecuted for
violations of the game laws are sever
al hundred names, many of whom are
well-known in their respective coun-
ties. Volusia county leads in the
number of names of parties who have
been prosecuted, their being SO.
Putnam county has no violators on
the list, evidence that the list is i'm
perfect.
