Don't Do it Mr.. Becks.

Word has come to The News this
morning that Mr.. P. j. Becks and
others Interested in scnool matters in
this city have since the defeat of the
school bonding proposition on Tues
day, been making an effort to sell the
block of land owned by the school
board and on which the proposed new
school was to have been built.
The News trusts that the board will
not sanction any such measure as
this. There can be no reason for such
sale. Palatka will have to have
new school, and that soon. There
isn't another block in the city availa-
BILE for school purposes. To sell this
lot, just because of the failure Of
this bonding proposition would be
the height of folly.
There can be nc reason In such dis
posal.
So The News says, Don't do it Mr..
Becks.
The school board had its heart in
this new school bonding proposition,
hut its failure can not be rf as
an excuse for throwing down the
large majority of white people in this
city and sub-school district who sup
ported the bonds policy. Keep the
property Don't get sore over disap-
pointment. Keep stiff upper lip.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try
again.
Don't do it Mr.. Becks.

BOB" JAMES CAFE
OPENS NEXT WEEK.
Palatka will Have a Really
Modern Restaurant.

The only thing about "Bob" James
new restaurant that isn't going to
take well with the old guard from
back in the country is tnat word
"Cafe." They may think their old
friend "Bobbie" is getting too
Frenchy for a man brought up to
the catering business in Charley huP-
perbusch's little German restaurant.
But The News hastens to assure them
,hat it's all right; that it is the same
"Bob," and that this Cafe, if they
VIII only give it the French twist
CALF-A, will be easily overcome. .
The new restaurant is thing OF
lty, that is plain TO see even al
this stage of the game. But its back
in the kitchen one must go to get the
real meaning of the place. 1t is IN
the kitchen where the real work IS
be done and this department has
all that is modern for the quick and
proper preparation of anything to
eat. The big ice box, capable of car
ing for enough food to feed an army,
is model for sanitation and pre-
servation of food material. The
ranges and other equipment are OF the
latest model, and the, best that mon
ey can buy. -,
Mr.. James expects to have the new,
restaurant open for the inspection of
the public by Saturday. On Monday
he will hold sort of reception, when
anv of his friends or citizens of the
city or county will be welcomed to IN
spect. On Tuesday morning at break
fast the restaurant will be open for
business.
The interior of the restaurant is
finished throughout in Old English
Mission style, even to the ornate
stems with which a shelf running
round the walls are decorated.
The whole design is pretty through
out and one that does great credit
to Mr.. James taste for the artistic.
There are few prettier places in
Florida.
Meals are to be serv& at 30
cents and special attention will be
paid to special orders, and to oys3--
ters, which are to be served in all
STYLES beginning next Tuesday. Mr..
,cs has a lot Of Norfolk oysters
due that day by express. Every
one in Palatka knows the James way
of cooking oysters.

The County Commissioners.

The board of county commissioners
were in session from Monday to We'd
nesday and went through an immense
amount of routine business, none of
which was of special interest. The
new chairman, Mr.. D. P. Hancock of
Bostwick, occupied the chair and pre-
sided with dignity and showed an ap-
titude for expediting business. The
aond of the new member from the I'd
district, Mr.. J. H. Millican, had not
been returned from Tallahassee, so ne
could not serve at this meeting.
AS a drainage board the body heard
the reports of E. c. Watkins the EN-
gineer in charge, which in so far as
the Bostwick drainage district is con-
cerned was a most comprehensive
plan of the work. Mr.. Watkins waf
authorized to go ahead and prepare
and the clerk was in
tstructed to advertise for bids for the
drainage of this district.

The news of the appointment Of for
mer Judge H. c. Gordon by Governor

Mr. Folsom Gets interviewed.

Moses Folsom, secretary of the Pa
"a board Of trade, believes in pub
licity. Last Saturday he was only
one of a dozen Florida board of trade
secretaries to visit Jacksonville, yet
was the only one of the bunch who
was interviewed or who received any
publicity for his section. In an in
terview with the Times Union, Mr..
Folsom secured the following for Pa
latka:
That Palatka is one of the cities of
the state which is saying but little,
while it stays eternally at its knit
ting. is the version of Moses Folsom,
secretary of the board of trade there.
Mr.. Folsom was here yesterday in
company with F. M. Runnels, of
Gainesville; Secretary Holworthy, of
Lakeland, and Secretary Mears, OF
Barlow. "Florida for the sake of
Florida" is Mr.. Folsom's motto.
According to Mr.. Folsom, Palatka
industrially, is doing more now than
Vt any time during the past year
Fourteen new houses have recently
been put up there in distance of two
blocks; much business property or
! Lemon SIISeG ldo bSSil SASoIAy iiiA,
proved and there is much waterfront
improvement being Gone by J. c. Nc
Coy, the Beach and Miller line, the
Clyde Steamship Company, as well as
others.
There is a great deal of interest il
Putnam county in the matter of gooC
roads, declared Mr.. Folsom. In ;
uort while there will be a good roat
connection with the hard surfaced
road between St. Augustine and Has
tings. Besides this, the farmers, ac
riding to Mr.. Folsom, have taken t
he idea of building silos. One con
cern of Palatka has already erecte
, half dozen during the past fey
| weeks for residents of the county.
At the board of trade in Palatk
corn is on exhibit which is fftee

Former Palatka Banker Dies.

1t is only the older citizen OF Pa
latka who will go back to the days
when the Palatka National Bank was
established in the residence now occu-
pied by Chas. Kupperbusch. The
house then stood on Front street and
occupied ground where the printing
office of r. D. Wattles now stands.
The building had been formerly the
home of DR.. Lente.
4 The bank was founded by Mr.. Jo-
seph F. Dean, then (ISS2) a proml-
nent citizen of Palatka. Mr.. Dean
died at his home, 81 Hemenway St,
Boston, Mass, on Saturday night,
Aug. 29th last. News of his death
came to The Palatka News in a let
ter from Mr.. j. R. Mellon of Pitts
burg, Pa, who is at present a guest
at the Waldorf-Astoria, New YORK.
Tnere are many old citizens like
s. ]. Kennerly and Mr.. Geo. W. Lans-
ing who had intimate knowledge OF
Mr.. Dean and the bank. Mr.. Lans-
ING served for a time as one of its
directors. At its organization Nh
Kennerly was offered a block OF stock
and importuned to become its cashier
The bank finally erected the building
where the Palatka News office is and
the office of the editor of this paper
was once the office of President 10.
seph F. Dean. In the fire which de
vastated Palatka in 1884, the bank
was occupying its original place II
the Lente residence and was spared
None of the buildings in that blocl
were destroyed.
The Palatka National went through
\ some hard lines and was finally place,
in the hands of a receiver by the ma
tional government. Mayor S. J. Ken
nerly was appointed receiver. Il
states to The News that its affair
were wound up and that every d.,
positor received 100 cents on the dol
lar of his deposits. together with,
per cent interest from the day IN
I bank closed its doors.

Total -----107

There are many reasons assigned
for the failure of the measure. Per-
haps the most telling of which among
the more intelligent opponents IS
that the amount for the Palatka High
School was too much.
Of course there were other reasons,
many of them personal ard selfish
which were at the bottom of some of
he opposition.
Some of the best men in Palatka
voted against the bond issue, but had
the matter been left to the white vo-
ters alone it would have carried by Il
heavy majority.
Of the 70 negroes who voted, G5
were opposed to tie bonds. This,
vixen it is considered that the propo-
sition carried with it a matter of Sl4,-
900 for the negro schools, is quite
beyond the comprehension of most
people. The negro ward in this city
gave six votes for the bonds and 30
against. There are some h@lf dozen
white voters in this ward. In East
Pslatka out of % negroes voting, 20
were against the bonds.
Many intelligent white people IN
this city who opposed the amount set
apart for the white school, voted for
the bonds. They felt that to do 9th
erwise would be giving black eye
to Palatka.
Out of the agitation through
which the voters have passed will un-
ioubtedly come a settlement on some
compromise amount for a white
school which will be submitted next
year and which will pass.
Some people 'voted against the
whole meausre because Of the amount
set apart for the negro school in this
tity. As the negroes were solid
gainst their own school interests,
there is feeling that at the next sub
mission the negro school will be left
out entirely and the effort confined to
white school for this city and one
for East Palatka.
The News cannot but feel disap-
pointed over the peoples verdict. 1t
believes that Palatka's greatest, most
CRYING need is a school building of
modern type and equipment. No
one thing of which we can conceive
would do more to upbuild the city on
lines laid out in other fields of pro
gress.
1t hopes that the difference of opin-
ion among the white citizens can now
be bridged and that all can get To-
gether on a new project that will
meet with solid approval.

COL. Won ENGELkEN

Mrs. F. j. H. Won Engelken of Vim

America while yet minor. AS his

the time the boy arrived at his ma

make assurance doubIy sure, Col. Won

Mrs. Won Engelken, who arrived
ON her old home in Kentucky some
three weeks ago, has been much Wor-

is serene. Mrs. Won Engelken was IN

A. C.L. Makes Exhibit in North.

From the Lebanon (Pa.) Daily News
of August 18th, it will be seen that
the Atlantic Coast Line Railway is
doing something toward advertising
Florida and other southern states.
That paper says:
An education in itself is the display
of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad
Company. 1t occupies the entire
eastern end of the new horticultural
building just inside the sixteenth
street gate and is in charge of Guy
A Cardwell, of Wilmington, North
Carolina, as the railway Company's
agricultural and immigration agent
There have been many strong agrl-
cultural exhibits at former Lebanon
Fairs but they pale before that of the
Atlantic Coast Line, with which they
are not to be compared. The rail.
road passes through a stretch OF
Southern country, five thousand miles
in length extending through Virginia
North Carolina, South Carolina,
,eorgia. Florida and Alabama and
its exhibit is made up of the fruit
ard forage products of these States
The railroad company has undertaken
70 eyploit the country which its sys-
tenn taps and in providing the display
presents most conclusive argument
IN favor of its proposition to go there
and thrive with the fast growing ag'
ricultural life. Everybody of the
r9anv thousands who have inspected
the display have marvelled at the size
and beauty of the fruits, which are
preserved in large glass jars, an'
tEe forage of tremendous growth an'
undoubted value. The fruits includ,
cranes, strawberries, pears, peaches
lemons, lines, pineapples, tomatoes
and many others. There is the hnes
kind of corn, tobacco, sweet potat.oeS;
; w~termelons. pumpkins, etc. And a
, of it has been arranged most taste
fully and to the best advantage.
