CH|LDREN'S HOME
SOCIETY NEEDS HELP
Also has Some Interesting
Children for Adoption
An Appeal.

| Four hundred and C!llrty-four chill
dren-homeless orphans, abandoned,
deserted, crippled, blind, diseased,
abused, neglected and helpless-have
been referred to the Children's Home
Society of Florida, the states greatest
charity, during the first seven months
'of the present year. These children
have come fro1n every nook and corn
er of Florida end have ranged in ages
from one day old to sixteen years of
age. About two-thirds of these little
ones were girls-the others, boys.
Death has been the chief destroy
er of homes, while abandonment, cru
city, neglect, desertion, vice and
crime, have each added to the loss
of parents, the wrecking of lives and
homes.
Only twelve of the 434 are now at
the Receiving Home at Jacksonville
a good family home being found for
every homless and orphan youngster
but this dozen, are all anXiously
waiting for some good home to open
up to them and some good father and
mother to love them.
Perhaps in a week two dozen more
will be added to this number, so Supt:
Marcus C. Fagg is hoping to find
good homes for this little flock as
soon as possible. An average of two
children per day are received and
provided for by the Home Society
the year round.
The oldest one of the present group
waiting for good homes is Arthur, a
fine lad of Is years; then there Is
Omege, an excellent girl of 13 years
Lena a smart, happy girl of II years;
Edna, a full orphan child of II years
Minnie, a large girl of Is years; Lii,
", a sweet little brunette of eight
Years; Clarence, a three months ole
baby boy; Gene and Willie, brother
and sister, six and eight years of age
and Gazelle and John H., another
brother and sister, six and eight
years old. These last two sets Of
children are hoping to find gooc
homes together. Mr.. Fagg will be
delighted to receive applications fol
of these children, all of them be
ing we'll and ready to be placed.

BRIDGE TOLL RATES
WILL Be REDUCED
Likely that a Special Meet
ing of Commissioners will
be Called
To Reconsider the Action of Last
Week.

Such a storm of protest went up
from the people of Palatka and other
parts of the county over the action of
the county commissioners at their
meeting last week in raising the toll
rates on the county bridges, that an
effort is being made at the suggestion
of Commissioner Curry to get spe-
cial meeting of the board to rescind the
action.
This meeting will probably be held
UnlS afternoon or tomorrow, depend
| ing on the action of Chairman Alvers,
wLo mas been urged by citizens and AT
least three members Of the beard to
call the meeting.
Petitions sent to various points on
the peninsula, to East Palatka, Or
ange Mills, San Mateo, IS well as 10
Bostwick and other places in the wes
tern part of the coulty on Saturday.
were soon filled with names Of lead
ing citizens, and these will be present
ed to the board at the coming special
meeting. They ask for a return 10
the old rates.
The increased tolls not only make a
hardship on the farmers and others
living in the sections named, but are
positive damage to the business inter-
ests of Palatka.
These bridges, more particularly
the St. Johns river bridge, had become
q necessity and the liberal toll rate
in vogue up to within ten days ago
was looked upon as necessary eX-
pcnse of doing business. To increase
these tolls from 100, 125, $50 and in
some cases to IT'S per cent was too
great leap.
Was it necessary to make this in
crease? The board of county COM
missioners say it was. Some of the
members say that the time is at hand
when the bridge must be largely re-
built. This statement is questioned.
The average receipts of the st.
Johns river bridge for the past year
have been $500 per month. This
money is supposed to be kept IN
Separate fund for use of this bridge.
At least $4,000 of money from this
fund has been diverted to other
bridge funds. Had it remained where
it belonged this $4,000 would now be
available to repair the st. Johns rlv-
er bridge. -,
The present high rate of tolls will
hardly increase the revenue, People
will not use the bridge as formerly.
They will use it only when necessity
compells. Under the old tolls rate OF
is passages for 81, with five pass;
es punched for an auto and driver and
one extra for each passenger, the rate
was high enough. Under the new
rate it costs an auto and driver 70
cents each way as against the old rate
of s and ga cents.
Curry the Palatka member of
the board, states that he voted for the
increase in order to get the matter be-
fore the people. He is satisfied that
the people are not in favor of it and
he has therefore promised when the
s4er is reconsidered to vote againsIr
k+ha increase. and let his successor find
some other way to secure the funds
needed for bridge repairs.

THE PUTNAM COUNTY
TEACHERS INSTITUTE
In Session in Palatka this
Week attracts PrOmi-
nent Educators.

1t is unfortunate that the Teachers
Institute being held in this city this
week and on the arrangements for
which County Superintendent Cot
tingham has worked so long and
faithfully, finds the superintendent in
capacitated from attending because
of illness.
The institute opened on Monday af-
ternoon with some 25 teachers present
from various parts of the county. Be
sides these there are a number ot
the States most eminent educators
present.
At the opening session Secretary
Folsom of the Palatka board of trade
made a most interesting address on
the Bows Corn Clubs and kindred SUBJ
iects and which claimed the close at
tention and interest of his hearers.
Miss Jessie H. Burton, county agent
for the Girls Canning Clubs, while
not present in person, nevertheless
sent a most interesting paper \on the
work which was read by Capt. Geo.
Lynch of Gainesville, the State lnspec
tor of rural schools, and who is pre-
siding at the institute owing to the
absence of the county superintendent.
Miss Burton's paper called out a num-
ber of very warm expressions of ap-
proval from the teachers present and
there was general suggestion that it
should be preserved for publication
and circulation among the people.
Prof. J. N. Overhultz talked of His
tory in the Elementary Schools, and
this was followed by a general discus
sion.
A large number of the county teach
ers are away on their summer vaca-
tions, and as result of their absence
number of the papers on the pre-
pared program will not be delivered.
On Tuesday afternoon Prof. W: B.
Cate, president of the Madison Nor
NAL school, and Prof. Geo. Lynch of
Gainesville, State Inspector of Rural
Schools, delivered the principle ad-
dress. =,
The night session was held in the
auditorium of st. James Methodist
church, with Prof. Lynch presiding.
DR.. A. P. Montague, president ot

dress held the interest Of his auditors
to to the finish. He was followed by
State Superintendent W. N. Sheats O
Tallahassee, who made vigorous ad
dress in which he showed the advance
being made in the cause OF popular
education in Florida.
On Wednesday night the principa
address was given by 7. E. Waldrol
= farm expert of the G. S. & F. Rail
way, by request.
Other prominent educators we're t

them being Prof. Louise Eigel of tn

u ton, were to make up a most inte

% this morning, when the Institute w

PALATKA BOARD Of
TRADE IS FEARFUL
Congress will Adjourn with
out Passing River and
'HarbOr Bill.

At the meeting of the Palauka
board of trade on Monday evening
the following resolutions, introduced
by Col. H. NJ. de Montmollin, chair
man of the traffic committee, were
adopted:
Whereas from a reading of the
proceedings of Congress, as shown
by lengthy reports of speeches and
debates in the Congressional Record,
it Is evident that a determined fill
buster will be made to defeat the
pending. river and harbor bill, or post
pone it beyond this session, and there
by delay and injure work on exist
ing and proposed projects in which all
of Florida is vitality interested, there
fore be it
Resolved, by the Palatka Board of
Trade that our Senators and repre-
sentatives in Congress be and are
most respectfully urged to use all
honorable means to have the present
river and harbor bill passed at the
earliest possible day, so that the i'm
provements under way and contem-
plated for the public good may be
Competed. Anu De IL luIIle
Resolved, that our citizen write per-
sonal letters to our members of Con-
gress, and to members they may know
who are from other States, and res
pecfully present the fact that the riv-
ers of Florida are natural highways,
but need the help provided in the
pending bill to make them really use
full to a rapidly growing population.
And be it further
Resolved, that our senators and rep
resentatives use every effort to pre-
vent the adjournment of the present
session of Congress until final action
has been had on the pending bill, the
success of which means so much to
the prosperity of our state.

SCHOOL BONDING
ELECTION CALLED
For Tuesday, Sept. 9Th
100000 is the Amount
Wanted.

On the advice cf the Palatka specia
tax school district trustees the county
school board has called al election
of the freeholders of the district fol
Tuesday, Sept 8th, for the purpose
of voting bonds Of the district in the
sum of 100000 for school purposes.
The improvements contemplated
and for which this sum of money is
required are as follows:
A three-story brick building on
block SO, City of Palatka, for a high
and grammar school, $4,000.
One-story frame school building in
Palatka Heights, $1,000
One-story brick school house in
East Palatka, $4,000.
Addition to and remodeling of the
coIored school building, corner of 8th
and Reid sreets, City of Palatka,
$4,000.
These bonds are to bear interest at
the rate of per cent annum and the
interest is to be due and payable Sc
mi-annually. The bonds are to be due
and payable as follows:
Five thousand dollars in five years
after date of issuance; ten thousand
in ten years; fifteen thousand in fif-
teen years; twenty thousand in twen-
ty years; twenty thousand in twenty
five years, and thirty thousand in
thirty years after issuance.
This is the important question be-
fore the people of Palatka at this
time.
Our present school facilities are not
only inadequate, but the building is
q disgrace to progressive city like
Palatka. Nothing the city could do
would so contribute to the advance
ment of the place. Our city is grow
ing rapidly; there are few empty
houses; but many people have been
turned away because of our school
dilapidation. High-class families will
not settle in a city that is behind in
the matter of schools.
The News regrets that there is
some opposition to the issue of these
school bonds, but it believes that the
more the question is studied, the more
united the people will be in their favor
The committee has devoted much
time and research to the question of
our school needs; the result of their
work is to be seen in the beautifully
kplanned building, plans of which are
to be seen in the Ackerman-Stewart
window.
