Any Old Clothes.

In almost every home there is an
accumulation of old clothes, outgrown
out of style, and partly worn. Some
of it is being worn by those who can
afford new clothes, and who ought to
put the money and the old clothes
where they are needed, to stimulate
trade and relieve distress. Old clothes
clutter Up the closets, attics and spare
rooms and increase fire risks. Make
a rummage hunt now and send the
stuff to the Associated Charities, at
the board of trade rooms. Mrs. G.
w. Lansing is there every afternoon
from 1:3O to a o'clock. She has al
ready helped good many who were
in great need by giving them warm
clothes and old shoes, some of which
were much better than some worn
by tourists who walked into town, and
with a little leather to keep their
bare feet from the ground they are
better able to continue their way in
search Of work.

THE POPULATION Of
PALATKA IS 1858
According to Census by
Julian de Nazarie, and
is Actual Count.

When any one asks you the popula-
ton of Palatka you will now have
something to go by. The census was
taken this winter by Julian de Naza-
rie, and is not guess work nor an es-
innate. The figures given by Mr.. de
Nazarie are from an actual count OF
the polls.
This information is given for the
first time today in the new Palatka
City Directory, just published by
Wells & deNazarie, and which will
be ready for delivery tomorrow oil
Monday.
Of the 1858 souls in Palatka, 1856
are colored and of course the other
3,773 are white, unless we further
subtract the three Cinnamon who run
the laundry next to T. B. MerrilPs
insurance office on Second street
They are sort o yellow in the skin
but they are good old scouts, just the
same, and their washing is as good
as the best in the country. Then
they've been here so long that they
talkee liakee some damme cracker,
and when you want to know about
the hieroglyphics on your package
they can say "tlwenty-elight cenltes"
allie samee Mclean man.
So you see the whites have small
majority, though the fact that Pa
latka is almost half and half town
makes it all the better. The colored
people wouldn't be here in such nIm-
bers if there wasn't work for them,
and the whites wouldn't be here and
keep a coming unless there was a
show of their making living. And
that's what we are all doing-making
living. People couldn't do that ex-
cept in a good town.
The new directory is credit to this
city and the publishers have every
reason to feel a pride in the result of
their effort. 1t will be the standard
book of local information for at least
year. Then they will be obliged to
get out another.
Palatka is a growing town. And
the growth during the past two years
has broken all previous records.

WELAKANS PUZZLED
OVER BOAT MYSTERY
Fresh Negro with Money to
Cremate Abandons
Launch There.

Last Saturday night a 48-foot
launch with a fine Gale perfection
engine was towed in and tied to one
of the docks at Welaka. There was
no one on the boat bit negro. He
(the negro) went up town and bought
great quantity of haberdashery Of
the best make and exhibited a roll
of money when he paid for his pur-
chases.
From the boat after changing his
clothes, visit was made by the negro
to a colored social, where he again
spent money freely. He left the same
night down river on the Osceola, pre-.
sumably for Jacksonville, abandoning
the launch, and telling some of the
boys that if he wasn't back by GER
tain time they could have the launch
He isn't back yet.
An examination of the boat shows
that it was the property of men evi.
IDENTIFY out for a cruise. Their effects
had been scattered about promisc1-
o1sly. Written evidence was found
that the boat had been inhabited by
men named H. E. and A. G. Gardner
the former connected with the Phoe.
nix Roofing Co. of North Adams
Mass. Their home as shown by other
evidence found is at Springfield, Mass
kilograms sent to this place by The
Welaka u lthorities explain that tbs
Messrs. Gardner are in Florida. Mr.
T.. Pinner of Welaka recollects having
seen the men and the launch, in com.
pany with a negro, on the way up the
river, previous to the 23rd.
The Gardners are reported to have
been in Palatka, and it is said they
purchased the launch in Jacksonville
The mystery is concerning their pre-,
sent whereabouts; also the wherea-
bouts of the negro. Has there beer
foul play?
The authorities in Welaka are do
ing everything in their power to solve
the mystery and hope to know some
thing definite in the very near future
A party with Deputy Sheriff Mcleod
at its head went up the Ocklawaha
today and located the first camp
They then went further up to Brobery
where the missing men had been seen
going up stream last Wednesday by a
camp cook. Other parties had seen
them farther up the river but no one
had seen them since Wednesday mol
could any camp be located. The
searching party returned Tuesday
evening and will make another at,
tempt to locate the camps tomorrow

Elks to Retain Liquor.

The "wet" or "dry" proposition
was voted on by the Palatka lodge of
the B. P. o. E. at the regular meet
ing of the Elks on Monday night, and
the "wets" are reported to have won
by majority of three to one.
1t seems that several members of
the House Committee opposed the IL
uuor in lockers for members as is
the custom in the great majority of
Elks' clubs, and they placed the mat
ter in the form of a resolution to be
voted on by the members.
Under the present system members
are allowed to keep LIQUOR in theSS
own private lockers. Some thought
the locker system should be abandon
ed. But the vote of Monday night
showed that there was decided oppo-
sition to the prohibition idea, and
that the lockers are to be retained
The agitation amonp members, how
ever, will undoubtedly result in more
stringent regulations being placed
around the locker principle.
The Palatka lodpe Of Flks is COM
posed of some Of the city's most rep
resentative men, the large majority
of whom are non-drinkers, though
they are not yet prepared to go so
far as to prohibit the use of liquor
to others in their home. They hold
to the personal liberty" idea.

PALATKA ITEM MAY
GO TO GAINESVILLE
Publishers Assured of a
Good Opening There.

"Bob" Folsom, assistant editor OF
the Palatka Daily Item, has beer
spending several days in Gainesville
this week with the view it is rumored
of arranging plans whereby the Item
may be discontinued as a Palatka
publication and its plant moved to the
University City.
Only last week there was an effort
on the part of the Morning Post to
secure the good will of the Item, but
the plan fell thrugh. Mr.. Norwich
of the Post had $400 in money, tits
said, which he was willing to spend
for this goodwill. Where he secur-
ed all this money has not been dis
closed. Now that it is understood
that the Item contemplates remov-
al, it is understood that Mr.. Ner-
wich has been approached to renew his
offer, but this he has declined to do
in the belief that as the Item intends
to move anyway, provided the ar
rangements can be made, he will not
need any abandoned good-wills in his
business.
Tom Davis, editor and proprietor of
the Daily Item, has made game
fight in Palatka to establish his daily
paper. He is a practical printer and
linotype operator, and knows his bus
mess thoroughly from the beginning
to the ending and all up and down the
middle. Had he met with the sup
port he was led to believe would be
accorded him, Davis would have filled
his part of the compact. The News
regrets that he has been disappoint-
ed.
Although he entered field which
this journal declined to enter after a
careful investigation of it's possibili-
ties, we did not predict his failure.
Because this paper believed it could
not succeed in the daily field was not
saying that younger and better man
could not And we didn't say it.
Gainesville is a fine city and in
many respects has advantages in the
newspaper field which this city does
not possess. If the Davis Publishing
Co. can get a start there it will en-
joy opportunities for success which
were denied it here, and one of these
opportunities is the fact of less COM
petition.
Of course Mr.. Davis may not go
to Gainesville, but if he don't, he is
the boy who can win out here, if any
body can.
In this connection it might be well
to say that the editor of one of the
oldest and most influential small city
dailies in Florida, told the editor of
The News less than three weeks ago
that his paper ran behind each month
from $500 to $7O0, amounts which
had to be paid out of the earnings of
the job department of his business.

MRS. GEORGE F. GAY,
LEADING CLUB WOMAN
Of this City Makes Notable
Address in Jacksonville.

The Jacksonville Times-Union of
Wednesday says:
"Mrs. George Gay of Palatka, Sec
tional vice president for this district,
addressed the members of the Spring
field Improvement Association at its
monthly meeting held yesterday af-
ternoon in the Springfield school
house. At this time the New Spring
field Woman's club, which has ,ecenr-
ly joined the state federation, was in
vited to meet with the improvement
association, and number of members
of the Jacksonville Woman's clio en-
ioyed the opportunity of hearing Mrs
Gay speak.
"Prcmineny in all phases Of clu
work, Mrs. Gay ic perhaps most inter-
ested in the work of the Junior Civic
Leagues for she aptly says: The par.
ents are often most easily reached
through the children, and frequently
in rural districts, the only method Of
Influencing the grown-ups in civic bet.
terment is through the children, thus
tie boys and girls can do great work.
She told of much accomplished by
the Young folks, and urged the grown.
ups to encourage the efforts of the
Boys and girls. Mrs. Gay is request
ing chairmen to give reports Of tn:
work of the Junior Civic L,.guc:
chat she may have comprehensive
data covering the activi -,es in al
places
Following a short talk on commu
nifty houses, Mrs. Gay spoke of the
schools and all that they stand for. Ii
this connection she developed the point
that although the primary purpose o1
the school is for the instruction of the
youth, the buildings should also be
social centers where parents car
mingle with the teachers and find re.
creation. Surely the condition of all
schools will improve when the parents
realize fully the environment in which
their little ones spend so many hours
Mrs. Gay characterized the school.
house as "the political capital for the
school boys of today will be the vo.
ters of tomorrow"
"The speakers urged the club women
to be Jealous in all work, and said
Give the best of yourself to the world
and the best will come back to you.'
Mrs. Gay possesses charming per.
sonality, and her talk, which touched
on all phases of club endeavors, was
Thoroughly enjoyed by the many pres,
ent. She was introduced by Mrs. Will.
