A Notable Achievement.

1t is only natural that the people Of
St Johns county should feel elated
over the completion of the greatest
and most important undertaking in
the history Of this mother county of
Florida. The completion of a brick
highway from the Duval county line
to a point within four miles of the
Volusia county line is an event of
more than ordinary Importance. In
fact it is so important that some sort
of public celebration is to be held
when the necessary details can be
worked out. But while this is being
done, the inhabitants of the county
and those who come within our do
main will be able to enjoy the benefits
of one of the greatest aids to civiliza-
ton, a good road. The approximate
distance followed by the county high
way from the Duval line to the Volu-
sia line is seventy miles. Of this to-
tai mileage there are sixty-four of
brick paving, about two miles through
ST. Augustine and Hastings and four
miles of shell at the far southern end
Some day this four miles will have to
be paved because Volusia will meet
st. Johns with a brick highway and it
will not do to allow any gaps. Then
there is another mile from the town
Of Hastings to the Putnam county
line at which point Putnam will soon
begin the construction of brick
roadway into East Palatka and to San
Mteo. The new highway is st. Johns
contribution to the Dixie,
he Montreal to Miami or any other
highway that finds its way from the
'rozen north to the eastern section of
florida. The cost is more than half
million dollars; it looks as though |
It. Johns has been fortunate in secur-
ng a good job and that the invest
nent of this large amount of money
n such public improvement is wise
nd we'll warranted.-St. Augustine
record.

VIM. c. Quick Dies Suddenly

Friends of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. C
Quick of Malvern, Pa, were painec
and shocked on Monday nigh tc
learn of the sudden death of Mr.
Quick that night at his home in Nal
vern, Pa, of heart trouble.
Mr.. and Mrs. Quick spent last sea-
son here, guests at the Putnam House
Mrs. Quick, who as Mrs. Henry s
Wilson was former social leader in
Palatka, where she resided for num-
Der of years, is still very popular
lady here, and great sympathy is felt
for her in this bereavement in all cir
cles.
Mr. and Mrs. Quick had only recent
" completed the erection of beauti-
full home at Malvern, an historic
place, once said to have been the
home of William Penn. They had
just gotten settled in their new home.
and were making ready to welcome
their son, Mr.. Edwin Wilson and his
bride, who were to have been married
the day following Mr. Quick's death.
There are no particulars here OBJ
tainable except what was contained
in brief telegram to Ex-Mayor F.
Il Wilson, of this city, a nephew Of
Mrs. Quick.
But Palatka hearts know enough
to touch them to the deepest sympa-
thy for the kindly little woman who
is all in all in this city.

The city democratic convention fo,
the purpose of naming candidate

That Mayor Merriam will be nomi
mated is more than likely, unless some
other candidate bobs up during the
Gay and wants the place more tha,
does the present Mayor. Mr.. Mer-
ram stated to The News that he was
not a candidate in the sense that he
would seek the office. If he gets it.
IL must come as a free-will offerin ~
and not through any effort on his

Hllburn Is Being Importuned.

During the past week or two a mum.
Der of letters have come to Hon. s
j. Hllburn of this city urging him to
become candidate for Congress from
the Fourth District. Only yesterday
Mr. .Hllburn replied to one such from
Osceola county, the home county, of
Congressman Sears. To these letters
Mr. Hilburn, while feeling grateful
has sent respectful dcelination. He
will not be a candidate-not this wear.
People living in east Florida will
not soon forget the wonderful cam
pagn made by Mr.. Hilburn four wears
ago when he ran in the old Second
district as candidate against Frank
Clark. That was a somewhat warm
campaign, one in which Mr.. Hilbusn
came within but some $50 votes of
winning. 1t was one time when the
popular congressman from the Sec
ond district was doing some hustling
also, and when he never knew where
ne was at until the votes had been Of
ficially declared.
Someday Sam Hilburn will make
the race again and when he docs he
Will make a successful race, but it
won't be this year Of our Lord.
AS we write this telegram reach
es this office announcing that Dir. J
N. Forgarty of Key West has an
nounced that he will make the race
against Mr. Sears.

The County Commissioners.

The meeting of the county commits
sioners this month has been a busy
enc. Besides the regular routine
there has been the arrangement for
the sale of bonds for the road and
drainage districts already established.
This is an important matter, requir-
ing care.
The board appointed Dr.. johnson of
this city, Mr.. S. S. Browning of East
Palatka and S. w. Rowley of San
Mateo, board of bond trustees to
look after the bonds of the new Pa
latka-East Palatka road district, re
Gently formed. These are all excel
lent men and show that the board
was moved only by desire to place
the most capable men in charge of
this responsible trust.
Drs. Welch & Johnson were ap-
pointed county physicians, they be-
ing the lowest bidders. They are to
receive $125 per annum for attending
the prisoners at the Jail and the in
mates of the poor farm. J. H.
Haughton was given the contract for
furnishing medicines at 25 cents per
prescription, the same not to include
proprietary medicines.
Julian de Nazarie was appointed
county enumerator.
The board will meet in special ses-
sion next Friday, March 18th, (St.
Patrick's Day. in the morning, to can
vas the returns in the Rodman road
election.

The Palatka Board of Trade,
through it's secretary, E. w. Elliott,
is very active in the good roads move
ment. Mr.. Elliott has been attend
ing good roads meetings and boost
ing the cause by his active work and
by gathering facts and figures to aid
in spreading the good roads propa-
ganda.
He has just had prepared and is
sued by the Board of Trade leaflet
on "The Value Of Good Roads, the
Farmers Best Asset" which is very
timely, as Putnam county has a good
roads election next Friday which will
decide whether or not this section of
the county is to be put on the main
Genie highway from Jacksonville to
Tampa.
A good road from Palatka to Rod

means more than can be imagined for
the Palatka territory.

Hon. John G. WoOlley Coming.

Hon. John G. Woolley, one of the
colossal figures of the temperance re
form, and without doubt the most ell.
oquent platform orator of the dav
will speak at the Baptist church in
this city on Monday evening, the goth
inst.
Possibly no man has been a larger
factor in arousing the civic conscience
of the nation and in preparing public
sentiment for the launching of the
national prohibition campaign now on.
Prof. VIM. C. Wilkinson of Chicago
University says of Mr.. Woolley:
Here is man who has chosen
nobly, wisely, disinterestingly, nay, to
his own loss perhaps, in bringing his
splendid intellectual powers and lay
ing them, all, unreservedly upon the
altar of this sacrifice. Wendell Phil
lips did not more purely dedicate him
self to the cause of anti-slavery than
has John G. Woolley dedicated himself
to the cause of Prohibition. Anti
slavery was great human need, but
Prohibition is a human need greater,
rather than less great, and Prohibition
has found in John G. Woolley a cham
pion, not less great, greater rather,
than Wendell Phillips. Woolley is
quite as brilliant as Phillips, I think
more brilliant, his conviction is as in
tense, he is as convincing, and far
m-re persuasive, since for the most
part free, as Phillips never was, from
acrid personality, and he has an oc-
caSional play. of saving humor which
Phillips seemed to lack capacity Of"

VIII Be a Candidate.

W. A. Russell, editor of The Pa
l&tka News, will be a candidate for
Representative in the Legislature III
the June primary. Mr.. Russell had
not intended to make this race, but
circumstances over which he seems to
have lost control, on Tuesday evening
induced him to change his mind. He
IS now an announced candidate.
Mr.. Russell served in the legisla-
lures of 1907 and 1918, in both of
which sessions he was chairman of
the committee on State Institutions.
During those terms he introduced and
secured the passage of important leo
islation on matters of statewide in
terest and value. He secured the
passage of every measure he intro
duced.
1t is so common for candidates to
make apology for their announce
mcnts as candidates by laying the
burden upon their friends, that the
practice has become a Chestnut"
And yet, in this case, it is literally
true that Mr.. Russell was only Undue
ed to make the race this time because
of the importantly of citizens of
character both in the city and coun-
try precincts, whose wishes amount
almost to command.
There is as much need for economy
and business acumen in the affairs of
the state as there is in county mat
ters. Taxes have been soaring for
several years and they still continue
% soar. A halt must be made. and
i was with the view of helping to Sc
,ure this halt that Mr.. Russell was
finally induced to ask the people of |
Putnam county for their support. 1t |
vas the earnest representation of |
these good citizens that he could get |
results where other good men had |
failed.
