 Such celebrations are entirely worth while" said MT. Keller. "The people generally must be aroused not only in the cause of good road construction, but good road preservation. This work can not be done by simply a few leaders Every man. woman and child must take hold and make good.
 Good road enthusiasm throughout the state is at a high pitch now, and there Is every reason to believe that within limited number of years Alabama will have as good roads as any other state of the union.'

CROWDS WILL VIEW
PALATKA'S LAUNCHING
Big Schooner is Nearly
Ready for Slide to the
Water.
Gov. Trammell and Col. Rob't w.
Davis Will Deliver Principle Ad-
dresses-Senater Bryan and Ex-
Gov. Gilchrist to be Here.

The board of trade committee ir
charge of the big celebration which
Palatka is to give on the 14tk inst. ir
honor OF the launching Of the big
schooner "City of Palatka," has every,
thing coming its way and the celebra'
ton promises to be all and more thar
the most ardent had hoped. Interest
in the event is not confined to the
county, but is statewide. 1t is some.
thing new for ship of the dimensions
of this to be built in Florida, and ev.
erywhere it is being commented on by
the press. Hundreds will be here
from adjoining counties.
The committee has prepared many
sporting events for the day for the
pleasure of visitors after the launch
ing ceremony Chief among these will
be speed boat races, foot ball, parades
and a dance at night on the deck OF
the monster schooner, which will be
tied to downtown dock and prepared
for party.
The city will be gaily decorated, and
one Of the pretty events will be pa
rade of decorated motor cars.
The launching will take place at l
o'clock. The scene Of the launching
will be a beautiful grove of live oaks,
overlooking the river at East Palatka
Tand but a short walk from the east
end of the bridge. Here a speakers
stand will be erected and here Miss
Margaret Willard, a granddaughter of
Col. Rob't w. Davis, will, when the
word is given, crack the bottle of
champaign on the vessels prov.
Here to, Gov. Park Trammell, one
Of the most popular and eloquent of
Florida's long line of chief executives,
will deliver an address suited to the
occasion. He will be followed by
sour Bob Col Rob't w. Davis of
Gainesville. Other noted men will oc.
cupy the stand and may speak few
words. Among them will be eX-Gov.
Albert w. Gilchrist, Senator N. P.
Bryan, Commissioner of Agriculture,
W. A. McRae, Hon. Perry Wall Of
Tampa, and others. Col. S. j. Hilburn
will be master of ceremonies and will
introduce the speakers.
1t will be a pretty sight to see this
great boat-capable of carrying more
than half million feet of lumber in
its hold-as it is loosed and allowed
to slide gracefully from its high place
into the water. 1t will also be novel
sight in Palatka.
Of course Palatka is proud of this
achievement--and it is going to walk
proudly all that day.
The city invites the people of Flor
ida to be its guest on this 18th day
Of October-it not only invites, but it
urges them to come and enjoy the
day with us. Low rates have been
announced on all the railroads enter
ing the city for that day, and the
county commissioners have announced
a free bridge for the day.
The ladies of the city will serve
lunches on the grounds and a basket
dinner will be spread.

ANDREW J. ROOT
DIED SUDDENLY
At his Home, Cohoes, N. Y,
Last Week.-Mrs. PrOmin-
ent Manufacturer
Who had Spent Many Winter Seasons
in Palatka, and Was Highly
Esteemed Here.

The Cohoes IN. " Republican of
Wednesday, Sept. %, says:
ANDREW j. Root, one of The most
prominent manufacturers of under
wear in the State of New York and a
pioneer in the industry, died very
suddenly at ABOUT daylight this morn
ING at his residence at the corner of
Mohawk and Oneida streets of heart
failure. His housekeeper found him
lying on the floor of his room later
when he did not appear for his break
fast and DR.. H. B. Gillen of Cohoes
was hurriedly summoned, but the ply
sician found upon eamxination that
Mr.. Root was beyond human aid. At
about the same time Drs. Neuman and
Malcolm Douglas of Albany had been
summoned and their findings verified
those of DR.. Gillen. Mr.. Roots sud-
den death came as a shock to the
great number of citizens who knew
him as he was one of Cohoes' leading
manufacturers and a prominent resi-
dent as WELL"
Mr.. Root was in his SD year, hav-
ing been born Jan. 18th, 1884. Since
early in life he had been engaged in
the manufacture of knitgoods, busi-
ness founded by his father in 1855,
and to which he succeeded. The com
rany Of which he was the president
and head has long been known as the
Root Company. He was a prominent
Mason, Knights Templar, and a
member Of Emanuel Baptist church
in Albany. Mr.. Root was reported
as being very wealthy.
He will long be remembered in Pa
latka. He spent many winter sea-
sons here guest at the Putnam
House. When that well known hos
teIry closed down several years ago,
he continued to come here for two
years, spending most of his time on
tEe house boat of the late John O..
Tilghman, which he rented for the
season. The fact that he spent so
much time on tie river gained him
the 'omiIiar sOhriQuet of "Commo-
dore' 3oot, and many Palatkans re-
member him best by that title. He
was genial gentleman, one who made
ait rpt9rad friendships, and his
death will be momned by many of
our people,
1t is said that despite his advanced
age Mr.. Root gave close attention to
his business, and that his illness was
of but short duration. The local pa
per says also that

These days, set apart by the Ear
