SECRETARY FOLSOM
HITS ANOTHER FAK|R
With a Broadside of Facts
and Figures.

When it comes to defending his
adopted country against the machina-
tions of its enemies and rivals, COM
mend The Palatka News to your un-
Gle, Moses Folsom of the Palatka
board IF trade.
Mr.. Folsom once upon a time lived
in Washington, D. c.; he knows the
newspaper boys in that degenerate
city on the Potomac; he's been one Of
om.
Recently, P. H. MCGOWAN, corre-
spondent for the Times Union and
few others at Washington, was work.
ed for a news article that stung citrus
Florida in the quick. A man who
gave his home as Tallahassee Though
that city has repudiated him) gave
Mr.. MGowan a story. about orange
,rowing in Florida which was wholly
untrue. M'Gowan sent it to all parts
If the country. In a letter to the
Washington Post Mr.. Folsom has
shown up the untruths of this Talla-
hassee fakir And M'Gowan, like the
u newspaper man that he is, has
taken this Moses Folsom story and
sent it broadcast in the hope that it
may overtake the lie. 1t won't quite
that, but it will help, and the cit
rus growers of Florida will thank Mr..
Folsom, who says in his Washington
Post letter:
"Some persons know very little
about orange growing in Florida. 1t
is not a rich mans game, as has been
arted. In the last season the or
ange region of Florida shipped north
$4,000 cars of citrus fruits, besides
many thousands of boxes by steamer.
"The new trees ready to enter into
commercial bearing the coming sea-
give promise of increasing ship
ments to a total of 10000 cars. Thou
sands of men are now engaged in the
business, and many more are planning
to go into it. The industry has the
encouragement and help of the scien-
lists of government experiment sta
tions, and there are five of them in
the state.
"The orange tree is a hardy one,
and very responsive to intelligent
are. There is no more risk in rails
ing oranges in Florida than there is
in raising corn in Iowa, tobacco in
Kentucky, potatoes in Maine, buck
wheat in Pennsylvania, or peanuts in
Virginia.
"The Florida orange is the best Of
all citrus fruits grown in continental
17erica. Our state has the orange
climate, just as the South has the cot
ton climate.
Bulletins issued by the United
States department of agriculture and
our state institutions and books by
practical Florida growers give full
details concerning the difficulties and
obstacles in connection with the or
ange industry, and thousands of men
can successfully cope with any trou-
ble."
Mr.. Folsom is very optimistic con-
cerning crop conditions at present, all
over Florida.

BRIDGE TOLLS GO
BACK TO OLD RATE.
By Order of County Commits
sioners at Special Meeting
On Monday

The special meeting of the board of
county commissioners, called by
Chairman Alvers only under pressure
of popular disapproval, was called to
order promptly at l o'clock. There
was a full board present. The peti-
cions were presented and read, and on
motion of Commissioner Perry, sec
onded by Commissioner Hancock. the
resolution of the regular meeting
aEhereby the bridge tolls were raised
70 an almost prohibitive rate was re-
seiRded until the September meeting
Of the board The clerk was instruct
ed to notify the bridge tenders to re-
turn to the old rate.
Some of the commissioners seem to
feel that at the next meeting of the
board compromise raise of tolls will
be effected. But the people of this
city feel that the tolls are already
high enough, and the expressions of
business men is generally to the effect
tfht if the tolls are to be raised, that
an effort will be made to do away with
the tolls altogether. Collecting tolls
of the people of the county over a
bridge which they have paid for is a
transaction at best and
one that it is thought will hardly stand
the test of the courts. And to col
leet tolls of strangers looks bit in
hospitable, to say the least. Very
nlany people are totally opposed to
o collection of any tolls.
Commissioner Curry was present at
the meeting, but as he had sent his
resignation to the governor and the
sefme had been accepted and his sue
cesser appointed, Mr. Curry was not
permitted the privilege of voting to
1ndo his error in voting for the in
crease. Mr.. Millican, who has been
appointed to fill out the unexpired
term of Mr.. Curry, had not had his
bond approved, and therefore was not

POPE Plus \ IS DEAD.

Pope Plus X died at 1:30 am. on
Thursday morning. The aged pom
ti1f had been ill for several days, and
his ase and weakened condition has
tened the end.
Extreme Unction was administered
by Monsignor Zampini. The pope's
sisters were present. Almost the last
words of the dying pontiff were:
"Now l begin to think as the end is
approaching that the Almighty in
His inexhaustible goodness wishes to
spare me the horrors Europe is un-
dergoing."
Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, known
to the world as Pope Plus X, was
elec8ed to the pontifcate on August
nth, 1908. He was born in 1885 at
Riese, in the Venetian province. He
was educated to the priesthood, and
was a pulpit orator of great elo-
quence. He was appointed Bishop of
Mautua in 1884, and in the consistory
of June 1898 was created Cardinal.
Cardinal Sarto was so poor that
friends had to pay the fee connected
with the acceptance Of this new dig
lIty.
As supreme pontiff his titles were:
Pope Plus Y; Bishop of Rome and
Vicar of Jesus Christ; Successor
of St. Peter; Prince of the Apostles;
Supreme Pontiff of the Universal
Church; Patriarch of the West; Pri-
mate of Italy; Archbishop and Metro
pditan of the Roman Province and
Sovereign of the Temporal Domin-
rs of the Holy Roman Church.
According to the laws of the Roman
church the Conclave must meet or
open within ten days after the death
of a pope to elect his successor.

Our Congressionl Candidate.

Palatka has a congressional candi-
date in the person of Mr.. E. Loomis.
He has been nominated by the Social
lists Of the Fourth Congressional dis
trict of Florida.
Mr.. Loomis is a very nice gentle
man and a most pronounced social
'st He is a machinist in the employ
of the Wilson Cypress Co., is about 40
to As years of age and has a family.
II IS not likely, however, that Mr..
Loomis' socialist friends will have
the pleasure of casting a vote for him
in the November election. Their only
hone can be based on the courts find
ing the primary law unconstitutional.
If the law is constitutional then Mr..
Loomis' nomination is not regular.
He was nominated in a convention,
and the law requires that all parties
shall nominate by primary.

DR.. E. S. Grill who was stricken

been confined to his home since, is,
according to DIR. A. M. Steen, show
ing steady improvement for the past
week. This will be a source of relief
to the hosts of friends of DR.. Grill in
Palatka and all parts of the county

DR.. Grill is without dispute Palat-
