Palatka's Position.

AS seaport, no city as far inland
in Florida is reached by ships from
the Atlantic ocean, coming right to
the farms, gardens and groves of the
best agricultural section of the state,
and to the doors of our mills and fac
tories, and affording lower in and out
freight rates than can possibly be had
at points solely served by railroads.
Cities and towns on the seacoast have
a tributary producing country only on
one side. Palatka has it on all sides,
and safe waters for ships-and for
people, too, who want 10 fish and go
boat riding.
As a railroad center, four separate
railroad systems operate trains in and
out of Palatka, of passenger trains
alone thirty-four a cay, and freight
trains innumerable. You can count our
competitors in this respect on the fin
gers of one hand.
As a distributing point, with four
different railroad lines and various
steamer lines, access is had, owing to
its central position, with as large a
number of consuming and producing
centers as any other city in the state
We already have several important
iobbing houses, and requests for ware
house facilities are on file from vari-
Gus firms to store commodities to be
handled in small lots.-President Pa
vis' Annual Report.

John STOCKTON
COMES TO RELIEF
OF the niIliards-- Sends them

| Last week The Palatka News ex-
clusively told the story of the arrest
in the middle of the night of old man
Thomas HilIiard, Mrs. Ad. Hilliard
Green, Andrew Hilliard and Will Til
lis; how the old man, and Mrs. Green
with an infant child, and how An
drew Hilliard was. taken from his
wife and children and carried to Jack
sonville by U. S. Marshal j. Clifford
Brown and his deputy, P. M. Hagan-
The News was furnished this IN
formation by Marshal Brown, who at
the time of the arrest had no option
in the matter, though his heart was
bleeding for the unfortunates.
The billiards had been arrested
charging them with violation of Sec.
10 of the Federal statutes. This
statute has to do with the intimidation
ahomesteaders on government land.
1t is enough for Putnam coYn1EI
people to know that some tk<ee Years
ago they were .Esiisi on the same
charge bsf5re the late Judge M. i.
Coke and acquitted.
The officers believe the charge upon
which they were indicted by the Fed
eral court grand jury is the same.
that it is piece of vindictiveness on
the part of some one.
Anyway the officers state that the
billiards are not criminals and that
their arrest in the middle of the night
especially that of the old man and
Mrs. Green with her sick infant, was
the most disagreeable duty they. ever
had to perform. Arrived in Jackson-
vile the billiards were taken to the
office of the United States Marshal,
where they were made comfortable.
1t so happened that leaving Pa!at-
ka on the same morning train was
Mr.. D. A. Mullis, a well-krown Pa
latkan, who was also going to jack
sonyille. Mr.. Mullis had some slight
acquaintance with the billiards, ard
as he also knew the officers Intimately
he soon got from them the story. He
made up his mind that there was one
man in Jacksonville who would help
them.
On arrival in that city he went di-
rect to the home Of Hon. John N. c.
Stockton, to whom he told all the cir
cumstances of the billiards arrest.
Mr.. Stockton got busy Immediately.
lie arranged Will JuUSe Odii " NV
err their bail to $100 each and then
went on their bonds, with Mr.. Mullis.
Not only that, but Marshal Brown
and Mr.. Stockton placed checks OF 50
and $40 respectively in the hands OF
Mr.. Mullis to take them back home.
Had he not done this the Hill
iards would have been compelled to
lay in the Duval county jail for sew
eral weeks for trial.
Mr.. Stockton left instructions with
Marshal Brown that his name was
not to be mentioned in connection
with this kindness to this aged man
and the woman and other prisoners,
but Mr.. Mullis, who laid the case be-
fore him, was certain that a man who
is noted for his kind acts will not be
injured by having his latest kindness
made public.
The billiards are now at their home
near Florahome, and when the time
for their trial comes round they will
be on hand From all that can be
learned their arrest is simply a case
Of persecution on the part of some
one whose heart and soul is calloused
with vindictiveness.

GETS A
$4,000 VERDICT.
Found Guilty of First Deg,.,
Murder in Nineteen
MiEutGs.

Lonnie Rowland, the negro charged
with the murder OF Policeman Napo-
leon b. hagan IN Jacksonville on Tire
night Of september 18th last anq
while the officer was attempting to
arrest gang Of thieves, went on
trial for his lie before Judge Coupei
Gibbs y the Circuit Court of Duyal
county last Monday morning.

in securing a jury, but with the jury
secured the case moved rapidly in
the Afternoon.
The witnesses for the State were
DR.. M. L. Herlong, W. B. Cahoon
Bu5er Fagaa, Leroy Woods, Jesse
Girley, A. j. Mitchell and w. j. Tip
ton.
The prisoner took the stand in, his
own defense.
1t was shown by the evidence that
the killing of Officer Hagan was pre-
mcdltated. 1t was shown that Row
and deliberately shot the officer and
after going down the alley where the
tragedy occurred he returned to the
1ody of nagan and fired again say
ing that he would finish him.
The jury was out but nineteen
minutes, bringing in verdict of
murder in the first degree.
Officer Hagan died at about 4:30
o'clock Monday afternoon, September
%, at st. Luke's hospital. The death
of the patrolman who gave his life in
the performance OF his duty followed
an amputation of the left limb, which,
according to the physicians in charge
of the case, was the only possible
chance of saving the officers life.
According to the report given out
the bullet, which entered the left
groin QS%Officer Hagan, severed the
main artery Of the limb AID entirely
stopped the circulation of blood in the
injured member. Due to these condi-
tons gangrene developed in his foot
and began rapid upward course.
After a consultation attended by the
several physicians who had charge of
the case, it was agreed unanimously
that amputation of the leg was the
one chance to save the officers life
Realizing the truth of the statements
made by the physicians, the family
gave it's consent. The operation was
performed and Officer Hagan died
about one hour later.

DEATH SENTENCE
HAUkTS HUNTER
For Most Fiendish Crime Ever
Committed in Putnam
County.

Chas. Hunter, a dissolute man with
a Jail record who lives with his fam
.ly something like half mile this
side of Hollister station, was on Tues
day at a preliminary hearing before
Judge E. E. Haskell, committed to the
county Jail without bond to await the
action of the grand jury.
The crime for which Hunter is held
S rape, and the victim his thirteen
year old daughter.
States Attorney A., V. Long came
over from Starke to prosecute the
case, and from the testimony adduced
there seems no doubt of the mans
guilt. The girl and her mother both
testified against the unnatural father,
and on motion of the States Attorney,
Hunter was held without bond. No,
lawyer in Palatka could be found who
would take Hunters case.
The crime for which he stands
charged is capital one.

PRESIDENT DAVIS
THRUSTS 'Ekl HOME
Retiring President Of Board
of Trade Points Way to
Success.

Here is couple paragraphs from
the annual report of Howell A. Davis,
the retiring president of the Palatka
Board of Trade. Good thing to read
and remember:
We need to get together this year
and make the second annual Putnam
county fair many times more wonder
full and surprising the one held last
month under "hurry up conditions.
The county fair belongs to the public,
to you and land everyone should
take part. Y. IN properly managed
the country far becomes an event
looked forward to each year for the
opportunities it presents of renewing
friendships, in comparing products If
field, grove and garden and of handi-
craft, and in extending the hand CT
hospitality to every conner. 1t pays
merchants to make displays, that
give them dividends in increased trade
and an appreciation of our city.
We need to encourage the organiza-
tion of a county improvement club, a
live stock association, poultry So
ciety and a shipping club. The absence
of unions, oranges and other local So
cieties among our farmers is draw
back to the real success of the coun-
try life. In the North these are found
in some form in every township or
school district. Movements in this di-
rection would open up a new world to
the young as we'll as the old, and ac-
tive participation would inspire all to
make better use of their time, talents,
means and homes. In getting togeth-
err in work of mutual interest, better
understanding is had and good fell
lowship is created. In this way the
rural farms can be united as they
cannot be in any other way.
We need to give more attention tc
making parks, Fairgrounds, steps to
the City Beautiful. A, start has been
made and we must not lag. Parks
and boulevards are valuable asset
to any city, Our water front is not
slightly and needs attention. The
cities with tree lined avenues and
parkws'gs attract people able to build
homes. This enhances values and
creates a real estate market where
none existed before.

STATE RELIGION
FOR THE CHINESE
Believed That eremony TAX
ing Place Today Is Forerun-
ner of Its Establishment
(Ry the Associated Press.)

Picking. China, Sept. 2S-1:35 a. m.
Between the hours of 8 and 6
o'clock this morning, President Yuan
Shi kai will officiate at the first an
nual ceremony at the COnfucien tenn
pie. The ceremony will be elaborate.
Special costumes significantly copied
after eight Of the ancients have been
designed for the President and other
officers of the government as de-
scendants of Confucius.
Strict military precautions have
been taken because Of the danger to
which the President was exposed
when he left the Palace a year
ago..
Yuan Shi Kai believing that China
needed a religion and moral teaching
and fearing that ancient and respect
ed customs wOul enc with the birth
of the republic, issued a mandate di-
recting that Confucianism again be
taught in the schools and appointing
a day when the President, like the
former monarch, should repair to the
Temple Of Confucius. Christians and
those of other faiths protested and
Yuan Shi kai in a second mandate
declared he had no OF
creating a State religion. The gen
+eral opinion, however, appears to be
that today's ceremony will be equiva-
lent to establishment of a State reli.
giOn.
