CREAM STATION
FOR OXFORD

1t is now settled fact that
Oxford will have cream shipping
station. This matter was settled
Tuesday when a meeting of the
promoters was held in Prof. G. G.
Hughes office and plans were
fixed. X. j. Ilessler, of Water
Valley, an expert creamery man
who is connected with the cream
cry ut that place. was here and
attended the meeting. He stated
that his plant would be ready to
be put in operation in about two
weeks, and when this plant is set
in operation the Oxford Cream
station will be ready for business.
j. A. Coleman and others will
finance this station, and will buy
all the milk brought in regardless
of quantity. Certain specifications
will be printed for handling milk
anu cream, and where parties have
no separator the milk can be
brought to town and separated at
the station, which will be in the
rear of Mr.. Coleman's store. A
large room 22xi0 will be screened
off for the milk room, testers,
separators and heaters will be in
stalled for handling any quantity
of milk.
The promoters of the cream
station propose to pay cash every
day for cream and milk, giving
those with only a few cows q

Mrs. Robert S. O'Haver, for the
past several months the efficient and
popular society reporter of The News,
will leave next Tuesday for her for
mer home in Indiana on a five weeks
vacation. Her work will be greatly
missed by a large circle of readers
who are interested in her weekly bud

this season there is less to be chroni-
cled than at any other time of the
year.
Mrs. O'Haver, who is also the or
ganist at the Presbyterian church and
an accomplished musician and teacher,
is in need of this rest, and The News
along with her many other friends
trusts that she will not only find it,
but that she will return greatly ben
eftted in health. She will return
for the first Sunday in September,
when services will be resumed at the
Presbyterian church.

RECOUNT Of PUTH3n'S
GUbERNATORIiL VOTE

Yesterday Sheriff Kcnnerly and his
deputies were busy serving aubpoe-
macs on the 112 election inspectors
and clerks of the county who had
charge of the recent primary, who
are to come to Palatka and complete
a recount of the ballots on governor
in the several precincts befre the 9th
inst. according to an order issued out
of the Supreme court.
AS tn work has to be done quick
ly it was begun at the court house,
when the inspectors of two city pre-
cincts recounted the votes of those
precincts last night. These were
precincts 13 and IA.
Pecinct 13 was in charge of John
Beale, H. A. Broward and A. G. Phil
lips, inspectors, and c. W. Williams
clerk. Here there was difference
of four votes on governor in the orig
inal count as shown on the dupli-
cate return sheets. In making re-
turn the low number was given. Last
nights recount showed that the high
er number was correct and therefore
the recount shows a gain of four
votes in that precinct for W. V.
Knott.
In precinct ii the inspectors pres
ent were G. W. Bassett Sr., H. l..
Messmer and Robert Ray. Here w.
V. Knott gained one vote, a vote that
had been originally thrown out be-
cause of unorthodox marking, but
which clearly showed the intent Of
the voter, and the attorneys watch
ing the count last night said that ac-
cording to a supreme court ruling.
that where the intent of the voter was
clear his vote should be counted.
Thus Mr.. Knott gains five votes in
the first two precincts re-counted in
this county.
The work will go on today and Sat
urday, and should easily be finished
by Saturday night.

ALDERMAN MCNALLY
INSISTS ON ECONOMY.
In MANAGEMENT of City Al.
fairs-COsts Too Much
to Run the Town.

The item of greatest Importance
before the City Council on Tuesday
evening was called up through the
report of the Finance Committee by
it's chairman, Alderman Jarrett, who
reported that pursuant to a resolu-
ton adopted at the previous meeting,
his committee, in conjunction with
Mayor Merriam and President Neck,
and after going into all details of
city management, the committee, with
but one dissenting vote, found that
the city could not be run more eco
nomically than at present.
Alderman McNally acknowledged
that his was that one dissenting vote.
He believed the city could be manag-
ed on a less expenditure of money.
He said that $4,000 was too much
money to spend in the management of
a city the size of Palatka. While CIV
ing the committee and his honor the
mayor and President Neck credit for
the best motives, he still believed that
cur city management was costing
the people more than the times and
conditions warranted. He urged
that the chair appoint special COM
mittee to go further into the matter.
Alderman Jarret continued to dis
sent from the views of Mr.. McNally,
but on q vote being taken on Mr.. Nc
Nally's motion for the special COM
mittee, the same was carried by a
vote of 7 to 5, as follows:
Ayes-McNally, jacobson, Merrill,
Buddington, Ramsey, Robinson,
Trapp.
Nayes-Neck, Austin, Pursley, Gay,
Jarrett.
The chair thereupon appointed
Messrs. Pursley, Gay and Jacobson
such committee.
Alderman Mcally, Buddington and
Ramsey were appointed committee
to draft resolutions of respect to the
late P. J. Becks, a member of the
board.
Alderman Jarrett got inquisitive;
he wanted to know under what ordi-
nance the chief of police charged 40
cents per day for feeding prisoners,
when every one knew that a good
meal could not be obtained at the
Hotel Mason for three times that
sum, and Bob James got two and
half times that amount for an ordi-
nary days feed. The chief said that
it had been the custom from time i'm
memorial, or at least since the days
of P. NJ. Hagan, and he had inherited
the custom along with the office.
This was referred to the ordinance
committee to regulate by ordinance.
This committee may reduce the emol-
ument.
There was another matter which
was referred to the police committee,
this being a reputed charge of S1.00
for hack fare to a little niger who
had been fined for boozing, and on
whose arrest a hack had to be secur.
ed to capture him.

There is really nothing gained by
the statement that the Palatka base
ball team that is visiting east coast
towns this week is not the same
team that has been winning victories
on the home grounds. It is the Pa

In the Tuesday game at TitusvilIe
that team defeated the home boys bv
a score Of A to 2. In the game of
Wednesday at the same place the
home team was again defeated bv \
score of 8 to 4, in a ten inning game.

team we use at home to exhibit
abroad. But all Palatka's ball pIav-

A case OF smallpox was discovered
in Fort Gay Wednesday night, the
victim being white employee of the
street carnival He was engineer for
the Merry -go-round. The case had
reached an advanced stage;' in fact,
il has passed the crisis and the man is
nearing recovery. He says he con-
suited a physician in Pikeyille re-
Gently and was given treatment for
ivy poisoning. The case is mild because
the man had been vaccinated a few
years ago. but il a lot OF cases do not
result from the exposures OF the past
week or ten days il viii not be because
his case was not ripe for spreading the
filthy disease. Those exposed should
be vaccinated at once.
The man and his wife are now quar-
at Fort Gay. He was expos
ed to smallpox in South Carolina a
month OF more ago. He has been with
this street fair only abOnt ten DAYS.
Street fairs are about the worst
pests that come to any town and
should be shut out. They are too
low. tough and rotten for any use.
