THE COMING
ill., ''''CE CELEBRATION.

The committee in charge of Palat-
ka's proposed big celebration cf the
Fourth of July is meeting with all the
encouragement it could in reason ask.
They are finding the money e.sy to
get from the merchants and other
business men and all arrangements
are being satisfactorily concluded.
The crowds will be here and they
will come from all parts of the corn-
ty. The program of events will be
sufficiently varied to afford some
thing of interest to every one. There
will -be two base ball games, and the
fact that Palatka now has fast
team, and will be matched against
ether fast teams, is sufficient to in
sure interest on the part of base ball
lovers.
Palatka invites the people of the
county to be its guest on the Fourth
1t also invites the people of adioin.
ing counties, many of whom will be
here. They are coming in droves
from Hastings, St. Augustine, Haw.

Springs and all intervening points.
AS the Fourth falls on Sunday this
year, the celebration is to be held OF
Monday, the 5th.

SOLONS DEBATE THE
DAVIS PACKAGE LAW
At Pomona-Senator Mid
dleton and Representa-
tive Tilghman
Differ.

Before a large audience in the pub
lie hall at Pomona last Friday night
Senator Middleton and Representa-
tive W. G. Tilghman were leaders on
opposite sides in an AM ted debate
over the Davis packag liquor law
enacted by the Legislature in May.
It will be remembered by those inter.
ested that Senator Middleton voted
against the law and Representative
Tilghman voted for it. 1t will also
be remembered by many that two
years ago, while serving as repre-
sentative, Mr.. Middleton supported
the same bill, which was defeated in
the legislature of 1913.
In the debate on FRIDAY night the
question at issue seems to be over a
resolution to the effect that the Davis
law is a temperance measure. Mr..
Tilghman was supported in the atfir-
native by W. NJ. Williams of Pomona
and H. A. Ring of Sisco. Mr.. Middle
ton was assisted in holding up the
negative by Prof. Eigle, principal of
the Pomona school.
Those present say that the debate
was very interesting. At its conclu-
sion a vote was taken among the au-
dience to settle the question. II
wasn't settled, of course, but % said
that the Senator's side had the best
of the argument. while 10 favored the
side taken by Representative Thigh
man.

.PALATKA TELEPHONES
GREATLY IMPROVED
By Installation of Common
Battery for old Magnetic
System.
Change Made Last Saturday Night in
Two Minutes and % Seconds.

The Palatka Telephone Exchange
made an exchange last Saturday even
ing which telephone users certainly
are appreciating.
The exchange was made at nine
o'clock and occupied just two minutes
and twenty-three seconds by the clock
and Manager Thorpe's gold watch and
chain.
Acting Mayor Merriam put up the
first connection and answered the first
call over the new system. With him
were several members of the city
council and a number of ladies.
The new exchange is one of the best
equipped in the State. 1t has fine
new switch boards and a chief opera
tors desk. These were installed by
the Western Electric Co. under direc-
ton of E. Arnold and a force of six
men.
Company officials present at the
cut-over on Saturday night were A.
L. Joynes, division plant superintend-
ent; W. T. Ewing, division equipment
supervisor; C. D. Cook, division traf-
Ific superintendent; F. S. Smith, divis-
ion traffic supervisor, all of Savannah,
Ga, and R. L. Boyd, district manager;
j. c. Coppedge, district plant chief;
C. N. Robinson, district traffic chief of
Jacksonville.
The telephone company now occu-
pies the two floors of the building
where it has only occupied one. The
Commercial office will still remain
where it is, while the back room on
the first floor formerly used as an
operating room is now the power
room. The operating room is up
stairs. Back of it is another large
room which Manager Thorpe calls the
rest room. This is for the conve.
nience of the young lady operators
and it has been finished and furnished
in exquisite taste. There is large
bath room opening off the rest room
Pretty rugs are on the floor of the
rest room and the furniture is of the
mission style. The operators whc
will serve the public are, Miss Meta
Porter, chief; Miss Mildred Beasley
Miss Amanda Dykes, Miss Elizabeth
Barber, Miss Lola Cullin, and Miss
Leona Cullin, night operator.

went to work Immediately and was en-
abled to make the change nearly sly

YOUR UNCLE SAMUEL
NEEDS THE MONEY
And P. M. Hagan His Faith
full Deputy Collector is
Getting 1t.

1t costs a lot of money to run these
United States and knowing this fact
the internal revenue department en-
ploys good collectors
In this section of Florida P. M.
Hagan is the collector. He is only
deputy, the chief collectorship for the
State being held down by Hayes
Lewis, as smooth a politician as has
been produced in Florida in a year of
new moons. He has sent our Pete
after delinquents and that gentleman
seems to be bringing them in.
Last Monday he went over to Sat-
suma Hights and called on a colored
man by the name of Tom Murray who
was reputed to be engaged in the bust
ness of conducting "blind tiger"
Tom had several years ago taken out
a license for part of year which
permitted him to sell NEAR" beer.
That was in 1911. Tom said he had
paid his license for 1912, but he
couldn't produce it; he did produce his
fractional license for 1911. He ac-
knowledged under pressure from the
gentle Hagan that he had been deal
ing in near beer all the time since.
Peter then presented him with a
bill for four years licensese together
with the fifty per cent penalty, in all
amounting to $11O, which Thomas
paid.
There are a number of people in
and about Satsuma Hights who say
Tom is a good citizen; others say he
ekes out an easy living by selling 4
. la1o nf hot &c \, r
real thing than the malt mixture fol
which he pays, under pressure, Ii.
cense to the government.
Mr.. Hagan says there are number
of other government cases in his dis.
trict and that so long as he is on the
job he proposes to uncover them.

TOM WALDRON'S CORN
FIELD AN EYE-OPENER
To Farmers of County-Will
Yield Nearly 40 Bushels
to Acre.

County Commissioner Tom Waldron
of East Palatka made talk at the
mass meeting in the board of trade
rooms a week or more ago which had
been called for the purpose of discus
sing the need of a farm demonstra-
tor for the county.
| In his talk Mr.. Waldron gave the
ASSEMBLY to understand that he was
earnestly in favor of employing a
county demonstrator. He told of his
own experience in trying to raise
respectable corn crop on some good
land as can be found in Florida-land
on which he had for several years
been making record crops of Irish po-
tatoes. He said that for six years he
had made only small corn crops, much
smaller than his neighbors, and that
do what he would he didn't seem to
succeed. Finally he wrote to Mr..
C. K. McQuarrie, the state farm DEM
onstration agent at Gainesville, tell
ing him of his difficulties and asking
advice. Mr.. McQuarrie replied to his
letter PROMPTLY and a little further
correspondence ensued between the
seeker after knowledge and the
Gainesville Farm Encyclopaedia, with
the result that this spring Mr.. Wal
dron is purs'l~g nc r,Ctkcds sug-
gested by Mr.. McQuarrie.
II now have a magnificent corn
crop" said Mr.. Waldron, "due to the
advice of a man who knows-Mr. Nc
Quarrie. Had there been compe-
tent Putnam county Farm Demonstra-
tor employed he could have told me
what to do six years ago and thus
have saved me six years of expert
menting which yielded me nothing.
certainly am in favor of employing a
Farm Demonstration, a man whose
business it will be to disseminate
knowledge among the farmers of the
county"
On Wednesday, in company with
Secretary Elliott of the Palatka board
of trade, representative of The News
visited Mr.. Waldron's place in East
Palatka. On the way over we passed
many fields of corn, much of which
was. good and much of which was on
! lyf ir. Some was good in suots and
| IL er spots failure. But the
Wat fields are even. 1t is all
good. Ne<A
Standing on the porch of Mr.. Wal
dron's home one can look over the
great fields of waving corn. Judging
with the eye the corn, though not yet
fully grown, is between 9 and 10 feet
high and uniformly even and heavy.
There are 40 acres about in the fields,
and several experts who have gone
through the fields are united in the
opinion that the yield will be between
35. and 40 bushels to the acre. 9th
ers in punching the yield say that
these fields will produce between
400 and 1000 bushels.
Commissioner Waldron is one of the
most progressive farmers in Putnam
county; he believes that the practical
farmer can still get information from
the men who delve into the scientific
aspects of farming, such as soil analy-
sis, soil building and the selection Of
seed. Mr.. Waldron has long been
among the successful potato growers
of his section, where potatoes are the
! speciality. He has made money and
is one of the advance army of Put
. nam county farmers who travels
! Iabout in his own automobile.

JUDGE H|LBURN
SIGNS AN ORDER
Creating the new Hastings
Drainage District.
The Hastings Herald of last week

The Hastings Herald of last week
says:
THE big drainage system to be
made in Hastings now seems an as
sured fact. Judge Hilburn has sign
ed the order making the system now
possible, creating the district. This
district embraces 5000 acres east of
the Boulevard and taking in some of
our finest farms. The drainage over
this territory is to be as perfect as
an engineer can make it. The dis
trict is to be bonded and a tax will
liquidate the bonds.
"A meeting is set for the first week
in July of all the owners of land in
volved in the district. This meeting
will be for the purpose of electing
three commissioners from among the
land owners to be the executive head
of the project.
"Already the names of G. V. Leon
ard, T. R. Byrd and C. C. Robshaw
have been suggested as good men to
fill the position as commissioners.
These commissioners will have an en-
gineer make estimates as to the cost
of putting in the drainage system and
then call for bids to have the work
done.
This movement will be a great
thing for the numerous farms in that
locality. 1t is but a question of time
when the adjacent lands will request
to be taken into the district, and even
the town of Hastings.
"And so step by step do we advance
to a more complete development and
prosperity.
"The legal advertisement relating
to the drainage district appears in
| this issue of the Herald"

GOV. TRAMMELL TO
RUN FOR j. S. SENATE
Governor Announced his
Candidacy at Tallahassee
on Tuesday.

On Tuesday of this week Gov.
Trammell made definite announce
ment of his purpose to enter the race
for the United States Senate IN the
democratic primaries next spring.
In connection with his proposed
candidacy the governor issued the
following brief statement:
Encouraged by citizens from all
sections of Florida to enter the con-
test, and actuated too by my own
ambition, have, after careful con-
sideration, reached the positive decis-
ion that l will seek at the hands Of
the Democracy of Florida in the 1916
primary, nomination to the United
States senatorship. My candidacy
shall be based upon my record in the
public service, as representative, state
senator, attorney general and COVER
nor, and upon a platform of principles
which | shall issue later. Judging
from the voluntary assurances of sup
port and opinions as to the sentiment
of the people, which have come from
all parts of the state, / am strongly
impressed with the belief that my cam
didacy will meet with success. AS
the primary will not be held for al
most year, it will be some months
before I shall enter actively upon the
campaign.
81 am profoundly grateful to the
people of Florida for the confidence
they have extended me in the past.
Without friends and their timely sup
port and assistance we can accomplish
but little; with them and their loyal
help, however, great victories have
and can be won. To those who have
assured me of support and to all who
may kindly assis' ne in the approach
ing campaign, IS. all always cherish
deepest sentiments of gratitude"
