the working out Of the new Sunday
Herald"
You certainly came across with
today's Sunday Herald" said Charles
L. Finney. advertising manager of
Goldenbergs Il had been led to

Palais Royal, says:
The Herald's big Sunday paper has
come UP like a mushroom over night;
the growth is surprising"
Mr. A. Brylaski, of the Cosmos and

first, and 1 want you to know that
1 think The Herald Of Sunday,
October Is, is not only the best Her
aid ever published, but the best
Washington newspaper ever issued"
Mr.. d. d. Courtney, who supplies the
paper In the neighborhood Of the Union
Station, as wen as the Government Print
ing once, states:
TT pleased the critical, typographi-
cal experts of Uncle Sans big print
cry, satisfied my Washington custo-
mers, and was readily reached for by
out-of-town people on account Of its
metropolitan appearance
Mr.. R. Smith, whose territory COM
prises the entire southwest Washington,
wants every one to know that In his
opinion 1t is the best paper in Washing
ton, especially in view Of the many new,
fine, and interesting features, which have
been added. No fault could be found
with this new paper, except that
II could not get enough to supply the
demands and could not get any more
from the office. On one corner one OF
my boys sold more than 200 over the
usual amount"
Mr.. r. J. Barry. whose work lies out
on the heights. says:
supply a long-felt want in Washing
ton. have frequently criticised
washington newspapers and have
seen much that is lacking in what /
considered a good newspaper in them
all. The new SUNDAY HERALD
contains more than any other Wash
ington newspaper. and Is newsy. en-
tertaining, instructive, and interest
ing"
Mr.. Paul whitmarsh. who attends to
the Bloomingdale section, says:
The people whom I supply with
newspapers are, I believe, the most
critical judges OF newspapers In the i
city. 1 had advertised the new
and left It to their judgment as to
whether It filled the bill. 1 sold out
and was informed by the Office that
/ could not procure any more, as the
edition was entirely gone"
Mr.. ]. F. Broadfoot, whose territory
comprises the entire northeast section
OF Washington. was afoot all day with
a pleased smile on his face which spoke
volumes.
Just like the big New York papers"
said he The way they are selling
this morning indicates that the SUN
DAY HERALD will soon be the most
popular paper In this section.
Mr.. J. r. Bergman, who supplies
GEORGETOWN. is one of the most conser-
yative of the conservative. He reports:
The NEW HERALD stirred them
up. For the first time in my long
years as a newspaper man in George
town, / have witnessed the youngest
newspaper in the field discount the
prestige Of the old established papers,
and this in Georgetown. where the
people are the most conservative, In
Washington"
Other agents were heard from all along
the line and every one had some new
complimentary criticism to add to the
opinions OF the others. The consensus
of all being that the NEW SUNDAY
WASHINGTON HERLD has taken its
place beside the daily Washington
Herald, as not only the leading morning
newspaper, but one which is destined
to eclipse all other Washington news
papers, by reason Of its excellence and
superiority.

Theater Manager. Pleased.

Mr.. L. Stoddard Taylor, manager Of the
Belasco Theater, stated yesterday that
he is delighted to see that there is one
newspaper in Washington willing to give
as much space to theaters as to sports,
adding the following:
The dramatic department Of The
Washington Herald yesterday was a
metropolitan looking section; splendid
from a pictorial standpoint; ably
edited; clean and attractive in appear
ance, and an excellent addition to
the many new features which ap-
peared.
'aThe HeraId's discriminating sense
of the news value OF plays and play
ers appearing in Washington is to be
commended, and is certain to make a
broad appeal to its readers, for 1t is
a conservative estimate that 80 per
cent Of the women readers Of a news
paper read the theatrical news and
comment with a great deal Of faith
fulness and interest"
Mr.. Taylor further commented on the
attractiveness of the new title line Of
The Herald, which appeared for the first
time yesterday, as one Of the many in
teresting departures from the old regime
and the beginning Of new era OF popu
larity for Washington's leading morning
paper.
In his enthusiastic praise of the dra-
matte section Of The Washington Herald
yesterday, Mr.. Fred G. Berger, manager
Of the Columbia Theater, said:
TT was simply immense, and thor
oughly appreciated by theaters and
public alike. 1t was a relief to see an
amount of space devoted to the in
terest of local amusements commen-

"Lizzie" Goes to Key West.

The Central" demonstration outfit
of the Automatic Telephone Company
which has been held at the rooms OF
the Palatka board of trade durinp the
past three weeks for purposes of de-
monstration, was shipped on Wednes-
day to Key West, where the company
has high hopes of being able to secure
franchise. There is one thing about
the automatic, it is just as efficient in
the transmission of the mongrel Gu
ban dialect so rampant in Key West
as it is in exchanging the more class
ic English of Palatka. The automatic
will make itself understood in any
language.
Mr. Metzner, manager of the COM
pany, has been in the city several days
this week. To The News he made
the statement that the company would
continue in it's efforts to mould senti-
men in this city until the council
would be compelled to grant the asked
for franchise.
Merchants are still being inter
viewed at the rate of some 20 or more

TO- CUT 1d0G BACK"
And Thus Relieve Muck
Lands of Excess Water.
Mouth of Canal to be Opened and
Main Canal Cleaned Out.

A representative delegation of Flo
rahome citizens, including Fred Hub
ner and G. c. Hardy, were in the cit.
Tuesday with petition to the Boar
of Drainage commissioners whicl
called for work somewhat differen
from that planned by the Commits
sioners themselves and the engineer
in charge.
For long time there has been 6
feeling among the people of Flora
home that the work so far done or
the canal was not of character de.
signed to afford them the relief from
water which the drainage district was
organized to counteract. The work
they said, let the water from above
into the muck lands and made no pro-
vision for letting it out.
Some have even gone so far as to
voice the opinion that the plan of
work so far followed was by design
and had for its purpose the driving
out of the yankees" WIZ, had ac-
quied property interests in district
which formerly was used as a7cattle
and hog range, and for which pur-
poses it would be ruined in case the
drainage project proved a success.
Anyway the work has not met with
the approval of the land owners of
the district. Hence the petition
signed by thirty-nine property hold
ers of the district and presented to
the board on Tuesday. This petition
asked that upon reaching the hog
back in the main canal, that the cut
be made no more than 1-2 Or feet
deep in order that quicker relief may
be had; when dredge has proceeded
far enough to lower the water level
two or three feet, that the dredge then
return and clean out the main canal
west and south of the double bridges
This petition after some discussion
was granted.
At the meeting of the county COM
missionerS this week the board decid-
ed to pay County Engineer Randall
Wells $500 toward the expense of
publishing his new and complete map
of the county in colors. Ea III f the
county officials is to have a copy and
that for the clerks office is to be
mounted on linen canvas and properly
prepared for preservation. Mr.. Wells
is to have the exclusive rights to the
sale of the map but a number are to
be given the county for free distribu-
ton outside the county.
The board looked into large num-
ber of matters of more or less impor-
tance. The largest warrants ordered
drawn were: Browning Lumber Co.,
for lumber for the county bridge,
$357.87; J. F. Ganas for shell mound,
S9O4.O6; the board also decided to give
$3.50 next July in aid of the county
road over the scrub land between
Crescent City and Lake Como, the
citizens of the district having raised
something over S40O by private sub
scription for the same. road.

Blind in I Eye Only.

The News does not publish many
of these "blind tiger" stories which
have their airing at the court house.
The News is quasi-religious and
great moral reform organ that has
turned the doings of the bright light
districts of "coontown" over to its
more rapid neighbors.
But there was case in court last
Wednesday that appealed to us. E.
L. Cooper, fast-black and as dark as
they are made in darkest Africa, was
up on charge of selling LIQUOR.
Cooper had just been DISCHARGED ia
one case for lack of evidence. Col.
Bassett, who was defending him and
who knows how to do it right, had
said good bye and had pocketed his fee
Then he was called back by Cooper,
who had been re-arrested by the sher-
itf on another and similar charge.
Taken before Judge Haskell, that
official held Cooper in $500 bail for
appearance this, Friday, morning at
10 o'clock. Cooper has money and
was able to furnish his own cash
bond.

|LOUVA|N L|KENED
TO ATLANTA JOB
Superintended by Gen. Sher-
man Fifty Years Ago.

In discussing the fighting of tht
Germans in Belgium and particlarlS
the destruction of Louvain, the Deroit
News says:
Fifty years ago now Gen. Sherman
was marching from Atlanta to the sea
Savannah, Ca, standing for the sea
His march began on November 14th,
and the investment of Savannah was
completed December 21-50 years
ago.
The present interest in the famous
march, aside from this being its semi
centennial, lies largely in the similar
ity of it's occurrence with those now
transpiring across the ocean. Before
beginning his march, Sherman utter
ly destroyed the city. of Atlanta, su-
perintending the work himself, leav-
ing neither church nor home, nor
public building, and doing as COM
plete a job as the German guns did
at Louvain.
On the march the army 'lived on
the country" taking chickens, cattle,
horses, mules, molasses, and every
thing edible. No home-owner's plea
was listened to. Not even the dogs
were spared-though non-combatants
were not wantonly killed. Over the
line of march, as was said of anoth-
er section, even crow could not fly
without carrying it's own rations.
Within a few miles of Savannah,
Sherman's army found itself treading
on mined ground-torpedoes explod-
ed, hurling men an horses as man
gled masses of flesh into the air. To
meet this, Sherman ordered all his
Southern prisoners to march in ad-
vance of the army, either to guide
the Union soldiers away from the
mines or to tread on them themselves
and suffer the result. 1t was war,
Sherman said, and there is saying
connected with the name which fifty
says what war is.
But transpose the names. For At
lanta, read Louvain. For Georgia
read Belgium. For Sherman, read
German general, who, to save
his troops from unseen dangers, made
Belgian prisoners march in front.
For Savannah, read Antwerp. For
the Union soldiers, feeding them
selves and leaving the inhabitants of
the territ Dry starving, read the Ger
man army, or any army that does
that.
