NO DECISION REACHED,

The board Of health met Tuesday
night but its efforts to dispose of the
matter OF election OF health officer were
futile, the vote being to 2 on the
question OF declaring DR.. Meany health
officer, he having won in the drawing
of lots. These same men agreed to de-
eide the tie vote by drawing lots and
DR.. Meany won. But Mayor Stolze
stuck his nose in it and said it WASH +
legal and now two Of the aldermen
have gone back on their word. Shame
on 'em

ITEMS FROM The PILOT FILES.
FIFTY YEARS AGO.

THE PARK.--We would call the at
tention of our City Fathers to the condi-
tion of the Park fence, School House
grounds and the streets west and south
of them.-The Park grounds should be
sloped down to the streets east and
west, and the fence set below to the
bottom of the slopes.--The School
grounds should be grassed over and
trees planted this spring without fail.
Appropriations have been made for
the purpose, as we understand, and
why have they not been expended in
beautifying, or, at least, in protecting
these grounds. The two said streets
should be graded, and sidewalks built
economy alone would dictate this;
and all that is wanted to carry out these
measures is little energy on the part
of those who have these matters in
charge. At least let the trees be now
planted.

II Weiss doesn't reduce them TO better
discipline at the next meeting of the
bachelors club he will be deposed.
The boys got notion, and Bill Dckie
is to blame for it,-that they can sing.
Dickie pretends to be favoraby dispos.
ed TO the club but he is working sec.
reilly to place IT. in bad odor. He has
been giving singing lessons lately and
each recital Is a terror. On Sunday
night the boys started out TO serenade
Fred Schultz Sunday being his birth
day. They sang but Fred thought it
was Charivari party and told the
crowd there had been no marriage in
that neighborhood They tried to ex-
plain they were singing but Fred pro.
tested he wasn't so green as TO believe
such blessed racket was singing.
Weiss should kindly advise the boys
to quit trying to sing and If they still
persist, the whole outfit should be
bounced. Christ Clark won't join the
club now because it is getting bad
name.

SAD OCCURRENCE AT MISHICoT.-
With deep regret we state that Charles,
aged 10 years, the only son of Mr.. Guy
Miles, was drowned in the river at
Mishicot on Saturday last. He was
last seen with spear near the slide
of the dam about 10 o'clock and was
missed shortly afterwards, when the
search was made, which continued until
4 O'Clock, when his body was found be-
low the dam. He was bright intel
ligent lad, and the idol of the people
of that village. The bereaved parents
have the heartfelt sympathy OF all
their friends.

There are 100000 factory girls in
Japan, and of this number 100000 are
under the age of twenty and 100000
are employed in spinning and weaving
factories, principally making cotton
and silk thread and cloth. OF the lat
ter, 70 per cent live in dormitories, es-
tablished partly with view to their
detention. The girls on filature work
on an average of thirteen to fourteen
hours, and those in weaving factories
fourteen to sixteen hours. Their health
is defective in general, as the result of
lack of rest and of the fact that they
work in insanitary workshops. A fac.
tory that employs one thousand girls
has to engage eight hundred new girls
every year to maintain the number.

The effort now being started to raise
funds with which to make Florida
exhibit at the Panama-Pacifc Exposi,
tion in San Francisco next year is go
ing to fall far short of what, if any,
thing, should be done in that direc-
ton. And it is better that no exhibit
at all should be made than that some
thing cheap should be attempted and
the blush put to the cheeks of what

MIA is Florida's one competitor in the
citrus fruit industry, and being on the
ground that State will have every ad-
vantage. Florida fruit is the best.
Better spend the money such an en-
hibit would cost in getting a market

only knowledge of an American grown
orange comes from the insipid though
creditable looking stuff sent out from
California.

Judge Daniel A. Simmons of the Cir,
cult Court of Duval county has sus-
tanned the demurrer to the bill Of
Bull Moose Anderson who sought to
enjoin Secretary of State Crawford
from enforcing the Bryan Primary
law. Among other things Judge Sim
mons says: "The primary law of
1913 is not as free from antiquities
as it might be and some portions of
it have been held unconstitutional in
other states, but | do not think these
defects, if such they be, are serious
and far-reaching enough to cause the
entire law to fall before the suit of a
tax payer seeking only to protect the
public treasury" And so the Bry-
an law will stand, and Herbert l..
Bull Moose Anderson, who felt him
self and his party so much above the
law that they ignored its provisions,
will be out of the political running
this year of our Lord.

Hope for the Grafters-

Orlando Reporters The Repor-
ter-Star believes that the better thing
the Commissioners" to raise funds
for an exhibition at the Panama expo
sition could do for Florida would be
to declare an imposition upon The
people of Florida to attempt it, and
refuse to serve The object is one
that may be endorsed in the abstract
and damned in the concrete with equal
earnestness and ferver. Florida
should be represented at the San
Francisco eXposition-yes. But The
proper provision hasn't been made for
It; the men who are named as COM
missiners are not going to give much
of their time and attention to it, be-
cause they can't afford to. They
are lending their names to it to make
it respectable and the likely result will
be that the enterprise will fall into
the hands of impractical men, proba-
bly, grafters, who will seize the op-
portunity with the avidity to get a
free trip to California, see the sights
and leave the exhibit, if haply there
may be any, to look out for herself.

When any one tells you this Euro
pean war is not going to injure our
American industries, just tell him he
doesn't know what he is talking
about. Already the disastrous eff
fects of the war are being felt right
here in Putnam county, Florida. Our
turpentine operators cannot sell their
product. Neither can they secure ad-
vances sufficient to feed their help
And it is the war in Europe that has
brought this condition. A large pro-
portion of the spirits of turpentine
made here is for export and the busi-
ness of exporting has been shut down.

The friends of better schools and
general enlightenment in Palatka
must not forget the bond election or
Tuesday, September 8th. The oppo,
sition is busy telling that much
cheaper buildings could be made to
serve the purpose. Maybe so, but
cheap buildings, like cheap people
will never make a community rank
among the leaders. This 100000
bond issue for public schools in Pa
latka, the Hights and East Palatka,
is the well thought out plan of some
of Palatka's best, most competent
men. On the board of trustees ap-
proving the plans are Howell A. Da-
Wis, D. w. Ramsaur and Frank D..
Wattles. This is their plan. They
should have the Imports of every pa
triotic Palatkan in one supreme effort
to give this city and surrounding
country a standing for leadership in
the important mater of public educa-
ton.

Use Money to Better Advantage

DeLand Record: Instead of ex-
pending $150,O0O to 100000 for a
state exhibit at San Francisco next
year, as now proposed, it would be a
great deal better, much more good IL
Florida, if the sum were expended in
advertising the states resourc2 rs
through the great publications and
magazines throughout the country.
Take, for instance, our citrus fruits,
which must come in direct compet
ton with the California product
We would have to transport our fruit
1000 miles, while the California
fruit would be fresh from the sroy es
every week. hence California fruit
WOULD show up to so much better at-
vantage. Sped the mo"cy through
other channels, and the results woutd
be greater.
