Real fun makers. Go? Of course
you will go; so will every one who
has the price, and if they haven't i
there is time to chase after it. AS
usual the money received from these
annual efforts will be used in charI:a-
BILE work. The Elks believe in charity
the kfA&A that "vaunteth not itself; /;

would do more if they had more
money. -,

DR." COOPER, THE
CONFIDENCE MAN
Who Has Been Singing
Florida Physicians With
Worthless Checks,
Was Arrested at Welborn, Fla, Last
Week-ldentified by DR.. R. w.
Chandler.

CDR" J. C. Cooper, the man who
has been Systematically sgindling
the physicians of Florida du og the
past year, and whose methot were
exposed exclusively in The PASatka
News some two weeks ago, has at
last been caught. He was seen on
the streets of Welborn in Suwannee
county last Friday by DR.. R. W.
Chandler of Lake City, who happened
to be in that place. Cooper at the
time was working" a Welhorn ply
sician. DR.. Chandler stepped u to
them and apoligizing for the in,ru-
sion, asked if the physician would ex-
cuSe himself for moment as he
wanted to see him on urgent bust
ness Taking him to one .ide, Dr..
Chandler told the Welborn physician
what kind of man it was who was
talking with him, and warned him
net to endorse any of his checks. He
was just in time to save a victim.
While the two physicians were
Cooper slipped around the
\ srner of the street and disappeared.
DIR. Chandler notified the police and
later in the day Cooper was arrested
and taken to Live Oak. AS no case
was made against him at that place
he was transferred to Madison, where
it is said he had also operated.
Whether or not Cooper is still held
in Madison, The News does not know.
1t only knows that since leaving Pa
latka Cooper has done land-office
business in swindling the physicians
in different parts of the State.
At Jacksonville it is said he secur-
ed about $4O0 in alopathis doses from
several physicians. 1t is said that
DR.. Henson of that city is probably
his largest Jacksonville victim, and
that he was stung for about $780, Dr.
Neal, member of the State Board Of
Medical Examiners, whose home is
at Sanford, confesses that Cooper got
him for $65.
He had smooth way, this swim
dler; before tackling a victim he first
looked up his college record, and his
favorites were those who had ma
circulated at the Atlanta Medical Col
lege, an institution Cooper had once
attended, and of which he was some
what familiar. He was looking for
a location, and before leaving it al
ways occurred to him that he was
a little short of cash; would the
doctor kindly endorse hi. check at
the local bank.
These checks invariably came back
in the course of a week with another
endorsement which read "No funds,
party has never had an account
here"

FLORIDA WATERWAYS
ASSOCIATION
Called to Meet in Palatka
Dec A21st.

There are now fourteen well 9 ran
lied, effective and nationally impor
tant Waterways Associations in thu
United States; each devoted to the ad
vancement of cheap and natura
transportation facilities by river anc
lake. We are soon to have the fiji.
teenth, if the people living along the
st. Johns and tributaries respond to
the call issued by the Palatka and
Sanford Boards of trade.
These associations are to be found
in all parts of the country from the
Atlantic to the Great Lakes region,
in the Mississippi Valley and on the
Pacific Coast. Representative men in
every state favored by nature with
streams and lakes, the best men in
the various states, are connected with
them, and congress has responded
with help running into many millions
of dollars.
1t is admitted that the railroads are
not keeping pace with the growing
commerce of the country and we must
look to the rivers and lakes to help
us out. Nature has been kind to
America in this particular. In Eu-
rope vast sums of money have been
expended to dig canals along which
immense traffic is carried.
No state in the Union is so blessed
with natural waterways as Florida,
but they need to be improved. If
this is done our state will become
veritable Venice filled with splendid
waterways lined with farm, garden
and orchard lands, elegant homes and
a teeming and prosperous people.
We want to get at it and enjoy some
of the benefits dIring the present
generation. Let US live while we live.
The meeting for the purpose of Cr-
ganizing the 18Th Association is to
take place in Palatka on Monday af-
ternoon, Dec. 21st, at the Board OF
Trade rooms. The call in part is as
follows:
"a new river and harbor bill will
be introduced in the coming Con-
gress. Only meritorious projects
will be considered. The st. Johns
river is the great inland waterway
of Florida. Its head waters can be
connected with both the east and
west coasts. 1t is not a one sided
To the east, as to the
west of it, is a tributary territory
possible of most profitable develop
ment. The proposed connections
to the Atlantic and to the Gulf are
inland, with tillable country on both
sides.
"There should be united effort on
the part of the people living along
these natural waterways to impress
upon Congress the need of access by
cheap navigation to this wonderful
region"
This is signed by H. M. de Mont
mollin, Chairman of the River and
Traffic Committee, and Moses Fol-
som, Secretary of the Palatka Board
of Trade, and C. R. Walker, Chair
man, and E. T. Woodruff, Secretary,
Of the Waterways Committee, of the
Sanford Board Of Trade.
Commercial bodies and citizens of
this State, especially in the peninsu-
lar part of it, should heed this call
and help make the proposed organi-
zation one worthy of our great and
growing commonwealth, one to be
able to make itself felt in Washing
ton. Less favored sections are do
ing it, and they are doing it because
they are united.
