Adviser, in letter to Mr.. E. W. ELL

nounces the appointment of Mr.. l..
Cantrell as Agricultural Adviser for
Putnam county.
Prof. McQuarrie says: "I presume
you think I have been asleep on my
Job of appointing an agent for Put
nam county, but the fact of the mat
ter is that I have had considerable
difficulty in getting the type of man |
thought would be suitable for your
people. Several have turned down
the proposition on account of the low
salary, but I am today forwarding to
the Washington office the appoint
ment of Mr.. L. Cantrell whom | know
will fill the bill to your satisfaction.
He will take up his duties on the 10Th
of February. He is a hustler. He
knows conditions. He has car which
he will use in his work, and I think
there should be some provision made
by you people to help him with the
expense of running the car, because
his efficiency is increased considerably
compared with the matter of getting
around with a horse and buggy. He
is young man and l think will give
YOU all satisfaction"

REPUBLICANS WILL
DEFY PRIMARY LAW
And Make State and Con-
gressional Nominations
in Convention.

AS already noted in these columns
the State and Fourth district congress
sional republican conventions for the
purpose of nominating candidates has
been called to meet in Palatka on
Wednesday, February 9th.
Chapter 6469 of the Laws of Flori-
da, can Act to Provide For and Reg
ulate Primary Elections" says:
"Sec. 1. The nomination of all
candidates for all elective State, Con-
gressional and County offices, for
United States Senator, and for the
election of members of the State, Con-
gressional and County Executive Com
mittees, by all political parties as de-
fined by this Act, shall be made in
the manner provided in this Act, and
not otherwise.
"The name of no person nominated
by party required hereunder to make
nominations of candidates shall be
placed upon the official ballot to be
voted at any general election as can
didate for any office, when provision
is made herein for nominating candi-
dates for such office, unless such per-
son shall have been nominated for
such office under the provisions of
this Act"
Section 2 of the law defines a po-
litical party in Florida as a party
which, at the general election for
State and County offices then next
preceding primary, polled more than
tive per cent of the entire vote cast
in the State.
1t will thus be seen that Florida re-
publicans, in their purpose to nomi-
nate State and Congressional candi-
dates in convention, will 60 directly
contrary to the law.
When asked concerning the matter,
Mr.. Geo. E. Gay, chairman of the Put
nam county republican committee, and
known as one of the most influential
republicans in Florida, said
"Yes, we understand the law per-
fectly, but we have taken legal ad-
vice and have been told to go ahead
and make our nominations in conven-
ton, and that is what we are going
to do"
There are several states in the
union that require nomination to be
made by all parties in primary, the
expenses of which, as in Florida, are
paid for by the State.
Hon. S. w. Rowley, member Of the
State Republican Executive Commit
tee from Putnam county when asked
regarding the matter said:
"Owing to the split in the republi-
can party at last general election, the
regular republican party did not poll
five per cent of the vote of the State,
and therefore can nominate in conven-
tion and get on the ticket by petit
ton in each county of the state"

SOUTHLAND CLUB BUYS
THE CARMAN PROPERTY
Work Of Development and
:, Improvement to be
Pushed.

Wednesday the deeds were signed
and delivered transferring ownership
in the c. Carman grove property in
East Pals ;fia to Mr.. G. N. Hall of In
dianaolis, Ind. The Carman property
consists of some 10 acres of river
front and contains a bearing orange
grove of several acres. The entire
acreage is developed.
Mr.. Hall is the gentleman who re-
Gently secured the Merwin tract of
some 1900 acres through the P. ].
Becks' agency in this city. This big
tract Of land is on the east side of
the Atlantic Coast Line Railway,
and extends from the northern limits
of Palatka to Rice Creek, having more
than mile frontage on this beau
tiful stream and more than two miles
of frontage on the St. Johns river.
The land is undeveloped, but is SO
situated as to make it's cultivation
inexpensive.
Mr.. Hall, in an interview with The
News yesterday stated that now that
he had secured the Carman pror
he was ready to complete his organ
ization of the Southland Country
Club. He was to leave for Indianap
oils last night.
'It is our purpose" said he, "to di-
vide the big Merwin tract into build
ing lots, and five and ten acre trarcts.
On the brick road which is to run
through two miles of the tract, and
bonds for which have already been
voted by the county, we will build a
number of attractive bungalows; we
will also build road east from the
brick road to the river through our
property. We will also lay out ex-
tensive golf links and our club men,
bership will be limited to those
purchase property. On the five and
ten acre tracts we expect to locate
truck gardeners and much of this
property is ideal for that purpose,
"We expect to get right down to
business and during the coming year
you will see some wonderful improve
ments. We expect to bring a very
large number of people to whom
membership in the club will be but
winter recreation, men who can well
afford to own winter place in Flor
ida, and when we get these contem-
plated imrovements under way, and
they see the wonderful advantages Of
our tract, the fine fishing, hunting and
other sports nearby, they will agree
with us that the Southland Club is
going to be winner"

ton was passed authorizing the chair
man to appoint one member of the

R. +. ADAMS BECOMES
PRESIDENT OF BANK
And E. P. Ross, Cashier -Au-
thorized Increase of
Capital.

At the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the East Florida Savings
& Trust Co. at the office of the COM
pany in this city last Monday, it is
reported that all the stock of the
company was represented except a
small block owned by lady out of
the city.
This bank, organized in 1889, is one
of the great banking institutions of
Florida. Until some two years ago
it's active management was in the
hands of the late DR.. Edward S. Grill.
At the meeting on Monday Mr..
Richard F. Adams was elected presi-
dent. Mr.. Adams it may be said grew
up in this banking institution. He
entered the bank in 1891 and remained
continuously therein until 1911, when
he retired to manage the business of
his father, the late Capt. R. ]. Adams.
In August 1914, on the retirement of
DR.. Grill, Mr.. Adams was called to
the management of the bank and made
it's vice president and executive Off
GER, position he held until last Mon
day, when by unanimous vote of the
SIOCkllOlucEo IlS was LlduS ~ ColuCiiI.
The other officers elected are: Vice
president, J. A. Crosby; second vice
president, J. F. Tenney; secretary, w.
S. Burdette; cashier, E. P. Ross.
Trustees, Marcus Loeb, J. F. Tenney,
J. A. Crosby, Chas. P Cooper, w. H.
Markham, John H. Randolph and r.
F. Adams.
The meeting also declared the usual
10 per cent annual dividend, and the
paid in capital of the bank was au-
thorized to be increased to $4,000.
Mr.. Tenney, the second vice presi-
dent, position of honor, has long
been one of the trustees and is the
oldest living stockholder in the bank.
Mr.. Marcus Loeb, another of the
trustees, is a wealthy manufacturer
of Atlanta, but years ago was an ac-
tive and successful business man of

Christmas Savings Club.

Next Wednesday, January 26th, the
State Bank of Palatka will inaugurate
its second season of systematic saw
ings through Christmas clubs.
The bank has a large advertisement
in this paper telling of the events,
and all who will call at the bank will
cheerfully be given any additional in
formation needed.
Saving is a habit-a good habit, as
any one of the great number who
tered these clubs of the bank last sea-
son will testify. With the advertis-
ing which all the customers of last
seasons clubs are giving cheerfully
in behalf of the system, it is likely
that the clubs to be started next week
by this bank will number double those
enrolled last year.

Saturday Night Band Concert.

The regular Saturday night concert
of the Second Regiment Band, under
direction of Prof. J. w. Chattaway,
will take place next Saturday even
ing at 7:45, at the corner of Lemon
and Second streets, when the follow
ing program will be rendered:
March-"Gippsland," Lithgow.
March-"The Statesman" Fulton.
Valse-"Sunset in Eden," J. T. Hall.
Overture-"The New Era" Heed.
One Step-"Kiddie Land" Hilcheth.
Mexican Serenade-"Quesida," Van

valse-"Wedding of the Winds"
Hall.
Selection-"Songs of Scotland"
Lampe. -.
One Step-"Wrap me in a Bundle" !"
Van Alstine.
Southern stars-star spangled
Banner.
Prof. Chattaway states to The News
that the concert to be given on Sat
urday night, Jan. Goth, will be the
last given by the band i'll Palatka.
He states that by a resolution pass
ed by the board of trade in open ses-
sion some two or three months ago,
his salary was guaranteed for the
year; that he turned over to the board
a subscription list toward this salary
amounting to $66 per month; that the
board agreed to make up the balance,
amounting to $94 per month and pay
over to him; in December he received
but $3.50, and in January $61.75; that
he must therefore abandon Palatka
and look for employment elsewhere.
Prof. Chattaway has made the Palatka
band what it is today-one of the
finest organizations of the kind in
Florida. Because of its standing the
band was appointed by Gen. Foster
to be the official Second Regiment
Band; its members are furnished uni
forms and instruments by the State:
1t may not be too late to hold this
organization intact, even now; but it
will take a money guarantee. Can
Palatka afford to lose it?
