quite fire on his farm. His son set
fire to some yellow dock that had been
cut, little thinking that the fire might
spread and do damage. 1t spread into

took sixteen men two hours to get the
fire under control.

His Last "Stag" Supper (?)

Thirty-fve sorrowing, woe-inspired
members of the Palatka B. P. o. E.
(bestpeopleonearth) gathered at Bob
James cafe last night for farewell
supper to Arthur A. Corcoran, for
several years a confirmed bachelor,
but who has been converted and on
the 10Th inst. will join the innumera-
BILE company of benedicts who have re-
nounced the world, the flesh and the
devil and tied themselves to skirt
forever and day. =,
Like other men who have gone the
road in advance of him, Mr.. Corcoran,
while somewhat nervous, is spending
his last days in joyous anticipation
and wears smile that appears to be
fast color and will never come off. He
carried this smile to the banquet last
night and wore it throughout all the
"ioshing" that was handed him by the
speakers of the evening.
Some of the speakers were married
men themselves and of course we're
somewhat g1srded in their utterances,
hut in the main the expressions were
to the effect that Mr.. Corcoran was
net taking any serious risks.
1t was banquet style supper got
ter up in Bob James best manner,
seven course including a large, cold,
clammy bottle and a small, hot bird
of the duckling pattern. Dave Ben
bow, who is married and the father of
family was present as toast
master and to chaperone some of the
more giddy. After the supper all ad-
journed to the Elks' Club, where there
was more nice talk and where bene-
dictions were pronounced. When Mr..
Corcoran left to go to his quarters
he found his old room mate, DR.. john
son, had entered in advance and was
prepared to comfort him. 'Tis said
that the doctor held his hand and
cautioned him not to worry, but to
taper off gradually from all his Elk
dom foolishness, keep a brave heart,
face the future with gladsomness and
bye and bye he would find the home
life so much more preferable that he
wouldn't miss the things that he now
enjoyed. The doctor said he knew,
for in the practice of his profession
he was frequently called upon to enter
homes to lug out a man who was
wanted down town, and it was hard
work.

Mr.. Hodge Elected Governor.

At the meeting of the Palatka
board of trade on Monday night, the
attendance was not large, not over
dozen members being present. Most
CT the time was taken up over a dis
casSion of ways and means of enter
tanning the big Farmers Union or
vention which is to meet in Palatka
next November, and when delegates
from every state in the union will be
present to the number of anywhere
from 500 to 700.
L. A. Smith who is just now wal
lowing in the delights of a much
needed vacation along with Gus Will
ard up at Tate Springs, Tenn, and
whose waters are used in an internal
cleasing process and taste more like
mortified vegetable matter than any,
thing short of a basket of over-ripe
guavas, rendered his resignation as a
member of the board of governors to
which he was elected without consul
tation a couple weeks ago, giving as
his reason press of business. H. G.
Hodge was elected to the Smith va
cancy.
Mr.. Hodge is an excellent man for
the place-young and active and zeal
Gus for Palatka. He is a member
of the Mann-Hodge Seed Co. in this
city, company that is building up a
splendid business in all parts of the
State.

or two en- route at his old Georgia
Dr.. Johnson is one of Palatka's bu-
siest physicians, for some years hay
ing been associated with DR.; Geo; r.
Welch, who will do double duty dur
ing his partners absence. DIR. John
SON is entitled to his vacation, and ms
hosts of Palatka and Putnam county
friends will hope that he will enjoy
every minute of it. But this yaca-
tion is not to be all play. While IN
New York he is to take post gradu-
ATE course. which means that his pro-
fessional duties will always be fore
most in his thoughts.

Gov. Manning Wins Over Blease.

Columbia, S. c., Sept. 14.-Gover-
nor Manning was renominated for
governor in South Carolina in Tues
days primary over former Governor
Cole L. Blease, according to nearly
complete unofficial returns. Manning
has more than four thousand lead.
Representative Wyatt Aiken in the
third district has apparently defeated
+. s. Dominick.
James Causler had twenty thousand
majority over Albert S. FAINT for rail-
road commissioner.
Thomas P. Storey has defeated
Francis M. Bryan by majority Of
/ 200 for solicitor Estates attorney,
of the Charleston judicial district.
The primary on Tuesday came as
the climax to a campaign which, by
reason of the long lead of Blease in
the first primary, two weeks ago, and
the apparent upset in the predictions
of many of the political observers,
takes rank as one of the most eXcit-
ing in the history of the state. In the
first primary Robert A. Cooper, of
Laurens; John T. Duncan and ]. M.
of Columbia, were candi-
dates with the two who ran it off.
Blease ran some $4,000 votes ahead
of Governor Manning, but lacked
more than 5000 of the majority re-
quired for nomination. Under the
rules of the Democratic primary,
where no candidate receives a majori-
ty, all but the two highest are elimi-
mated and second race is held.

won't Print Both Sides"

A writer in one Of our local papers
makes con plaint "that The Palatka
News will not publish the good things
said about Mr.. Cats, but that it pub
liaAes al that it can find against him."
That is not true. Tho News pub
lianes but small fraction of the
charges which have been proven
9C;in3t Mr.. Cats. If it printed all
there would be room for nolhing else,
and It would have to publish a paper
doub-a it's present size each week.
The News pleads guilty to not pub
lishing any good things concerning
Mr.. Cats. But there is reason for
this. Up to the present time it's edi.
tor has seen nothing good concerning
him eminating from a democratic pa
per. The Jacksonville Free Press is
full of him (Catts) and it lauds him
to the skies. But the paper is abso-
lutely unreliable and is not a demo-
cratic paper. Mr.. Mathews of the
Fort Lauderdale Sentinel has also said
some things about Mr.. Catts-com-
pared him to Jesus Christ-but The
News considers such utterances as
blasphemous. There are several DEM
ocratic papers in the State that are re-
garding Mr.. Cats as the democratic
hey started in Immediately
following the meeting of the State
canvassing board, and are still so re-
garding him. They were hasty and
evidently regret their haste-anyway
they are saying nothing good concern
ing the man; rather they are tolerat-
ing him, which is more than The
News can do now. 1t may have it to
do later. But The News never pad
dies in dirty stream when there is
clear water in sight.
