A Transient Blind Tiger

Chief Varnes trapped a transient
tiger of the "blind" S9aeietv on Wed.
nesday. 1t was a young man nance
Il. L. Babbittt, who claims Goldsboro
N. c., as his home. Babbitt when ar,
rested had four pint bottles of LIQUOR
N his pocket; in his suit case at the
waiting room of the Union depot were
II pints more, and at his bed room
corner of Main and Eleventh streets
several more.
Before Judge Calhoun on Thurs
day morning Babbitt pleaded guilty.;
said he was selling it in order to get
money to take him home; he is an
intelligent young man. Judge Cal
houn fined him SIS and costs, which
ne paid and skipped.
Babbitt said he had been packins
oranges at Crescent City; he did
say he was selling booze in that t$wn
but now that he has gone it is proba-
ble that some of the young men in
the orange town can testify that he
was; that he packed more booze than
oranges.

KNOWLES GETS A
$4,000 VERDICT.
In His Suit ! for Dcmages
Against the, F.E. c. Nv.

Possibly one of the most stubborn
ly fought civil cases to come before
the Putnam Circuit Court in years
was that of John Knowles of Leno,
Clay Co. VS.. The Florida East Coast
Railway, and which occupied the at
tention of the court in special term
the first three days of the week.
knowles had entered suit against
the railway company in an action for
damages in the sum of $4,000 for
personal injury. He claimed that on
January 18th, 1918, while attempt
ing to board moving train of Pull
man cars at East Palatka he was
elected by the conductor, and injured.
He also claimed that the conductor
had told him he might board the
train. Knowles only witness was
ms son. The conductor also claimed
the Old man was drunk. This state
ment was combatted by the testimo-
ny of DR.. H. R. Estes, who swore
that knowles was not drunk.
lhe train Of Pullman cars does not
carry day coaches and but few local
passengers; the conductor urged that
ne had notified the old man that he
could not ride. He had a travelling
man to corroborate his testimony
that instead of pushing the old man
OH the train he had grabbed him as
ne fell and held him from fall;no
beneath the wheels.
The East Coast Railway was rep
resented by Judge E. E. Haskell of
thls city and Major Alex. St. Clair
Abrams of Jacksonville. Knowles
was represented by. Hilburn & Mer-
ryday of this city, Judge James T.
wills presided at the trial.
Abrams, who is general counsel for
the company is one of the shrewd-
est lawyers in the state; he is not on
ly lawyer but he is an actor: he has
a regular poker face; is devoid of
emotions; his face looks the same in
disappointment as in victory. He is
a little off on his, hearing, and in Or
DER to catch testimony has to push
MS ears to the front to catch the pas
sing sound. His voice is soueekv.
lie spoke two hours in summing IN
his case to the jury. Judge Haskell
spoke about an hour. He made
Splendld, strong plea.
Col. Hilburn also is some shrewd
when it comes te staaE rial of a case
of this kind. gnghts in nothing
more tina measuring wits with a
lawyer oi-vn Abrams type. Hilburn
knows how to score. He spoke a
full hour, as so also did Col. Merry
day. That made about five hours of
oratory for that jury.
The jury was out some two hours
or more. 1t is understood that the
majority of the jury hung out for a
verdict of $4,000 for Knowles, but
tfat one man thought $500 would be
about right. The jury finally com
promised on verdict for $4,000.
Lawyers generally believe the YER
dict will stand-that the Supreme
Court will never disturb it, even if
appealed.

BAPTIST CHURCH
TO HOLD REVIVAL.
Dr. VIM. D. Nowlin, FIorida's
Foremost Pulpit Orator to
Lead.

Palatka needs a revival of rehg
ion. That can be said of any tow
or city in all this broad land of ours
Rev. VIM. A. Sunday, former Ma
tional League base ball player, bu
today the worlds foremost evange
list, in recent sermon in Pittsburg
said:
"The revival is one tide from al
old sea that has swept the worlc
since Pentacost. 1t is not new tide
in a new sea, but an old tide in al
old sea.
"Give us more men for the minis
try. | tell you, my friends, the
church is facing a crisis in the min
istry today The young men are
leaving the ministry, they are refus.
ing to enter 1.-THE ministry. Why
Because they are starved. 1t is 9
disgrace and an insult the salary
they are paid.
"Oh, Lord, revive Thou Thy works
You know that every revival that
has swept this land has had two
characteristics. First, it has beer
n revival of business men. There
never has been time when they
were more willing to put their mon
ey into campaign than now. They
are beginning to see, thoughtful
business men from Maine to Califor-
MIA, from Duluth to the gulf that. il
the tidal wave of graft, intempi l.
ance, vice, RIGHTEOUSNESS, bribery a
corruption which threatens our
tion and imperils our destiny asN
nation, which threatens to overflow
our woung men and women-they
are awakening to the fact that if il
is to be beaten back and overthrown
it has got 70 be brought about by
a tidal waS of religion. They have
been awakening to the fact that they
have been dealing with non-essential
things, and are wasting their time
Second, revival of personal work
There has never been a time when
people are more ready to work; never
time when they are more ready and
willing. | want every man and wo'
man in this audience, every usher
