kept tally but no money was passed.
AS the train approached DiXfield, the
men began to settle up. as Wiggin was
to leave the train at that place. 1t was
then that the deputy sheriff walked up
to the men and told them that they
were under arrest. Wiggln said that he
didn't intend to be taken to Runford
and succeeded in leaving the car. The
other three men were bound for Rum
ford and made no attempt to avoid
arrest That afternoon. Deputy Small
went to DiXtield to get Wiggin. but
found that he had disappeared from
the town.
1t seems that Wiggin. after calmly
considering the matter, decided that it
would he better for him to appear in
court and take his medicine than to re-
main a fugitive from justice.

POINT IS
MAKING BIG SHIPMENTS
Of Potatoes this Week.
Prices Remain Firm.

Federal Point seems to have the
bulge on the other sections of the po-
tato belt, especially the growers Of
that place whose fields are nearest
the river. They suffered less from
the February and early March frosts.
Last week potato shipments from
Federal Point began in earnest and
has continued with increasing volumn
from day to day, so that every trip
of the steamer Crescent goes out
loaded with potatoes.
The prices continue good, the pota
toes bringing from $3.50 to $3.50 per
barrel on the dock, according to
quality. That these prices will con.
tinue or get better is predicted on all
hands by those in the business.
Only some few shipments have
been made from East Palatka up tx
now, and the same is true with Or
ange Mills. Potatoes brought te
this office by Capt. Geo. Crotty ol
the Beach & Miller Line, from the lat
ter place, indicate that some heavy
shipments can be looked for from tn,
back country farms during the com
| ing week.

County Demonstration Working.

L. Cantrcll, Putnam county agricul-
tural demonstration, is busy man:
Calls are coming to him for help and
advice from all sections of the county,
and as his work becomes better
known, these calls will increase.
During the early days of the pre-
sent week Mr.. Cantrell visited Bost-
wick, Crescent City, Huntington, Po-
mona apd Satsuma. At Bostwick he
was called to investigate supposed
cases of hog cholera, but found that
the hogs were not guilty; they simply
were afflicted with worms and YER
min, for the cure of which Mr.. Can
trell gave sure remedy. This was
also the reason of his visit to Hunt
ington.
He organized Corn Clubs of a pro
missing nature at Bostwick, Pomona
and Satsuma, the two latter places be-
ing among the points visited this
week.

Candidates Hold Forth.

Palatka had it's opportunity to hear
something of the present state cam
paign last Saturday night, when three
of the leading state candidates spoke
in the open air from an automobile
anchored at the corner of Lemon and
Second streets.
The band concert first attracted
and held the crowd which was turned
over to the politicians afterwards.
The speakers were Messrs. Hudson
and Wood, candidates for Governor
and Hon. Perry G. Wall, candidate for
United States Senator.
1t would be a hard matter to get
at the average sentiment of the peo-
pie who heard Mr.. Wall. He i'm.
pressed some favorably, some unfa.
vorably; others were not in mood tc
be won over from their already eX-
pressed choice. But Mr.. Wall, new.
ertheless, is a gentleman who is not
lacking in one essential to the office
to which he aspires-confidence ir
himself.
Mr.. Hudson made a good impres,
sion; he is a dignified speaker, a
times profound and always courteous
in his references to opponents. HI
is not an eloquent speaker, nor is he
Of the spell binder variety. He made
friends by his visit.
Mr.. Wood is breezy, bulky and bold
He made quite an impression will
his platform; he favors the salar!
system of paying county officials ant
that is a plan that is or ought to b'
popular. Mr.. Wood was not so con
siderate of the feelings of others wht
have the effrontery to seek an offic'
to which he aspires. He made sew
eral jabs at Mr.. Hudson.
The crowd was patient, long-suf
fering, charitable, and left with a de
| termination to vote as they please
when the time came to vote.

MAGNIFICENT HOTEL
WILL Be ERECTED
On Sight of Old Arlington
Contract Let on Tues
v day.
DR.. Geo. E. Welch's eBig Contribution
to the New Palatka.

By the first of next November
"Bob" James will be ensconced in one
of the most up-to-now hotels in all
Florida.
On Tuesday DR.. George E. Welch
closed a contract with Buckland G.
Fitchner, contractors of Jacksonville,
for the erection on the site of the old
Arlington ,Hotel, of a new three
story modern hotel and cafe, after
plans made by F. j. Klutho, architect
Work on the new hotel will begin as
soon as the old structure can be torn
down and removed. The work of
razing the old building will begin with
in a few days.
The new hotel is to be ready for
occupancy by November 1st. Robert
James, caterer and proprietor of the
popular james Cafe on Lemon street,
has closed q lease on the new hotel
for ten years. He will furnish the
building after his own ideas, and it is
said he will spend considerable money
in the furnishings. 1t will, when ex-
pressive of the James idea, be some
hotel, certainly one that amy city in
Florida would be proud to possess.
The hotel is to be in size 100 feet
deep on Third street with frontage
of AZ feet on Lemon. There is an ell
to the lot which stretches little north
from the rear, and ON this will be
built the kitchen.
The hotel will be three stories in
height, with 32 sleeping rooms-1e
on each of the top floors. All the
rooms on the second floor will be sup
piled with bath. There will be two
baths on the top floor, but every room
in the house will be supplied with hot
and cold running water.
On the first floor will be the office
dining room, ladies parlor, sample
rooms, lavatories, etc.
The house will be heated by steam
and there will be vacuum cleaners or
each floor run by dynamos.
The office will be in the corner ans
will run back 70 feet. The dining
room, or cafe, will be a big improve
ment on the present cafe of Mr.
James, especially in so far as thu
comfort of his guests is concerned
1t will be ventilated thoroughly, d!
will the entire house.
The building will be of light buff
pressed brick, ornamented, and viii
be by far the most beautiful building
in Palatka.
Palatka has long needed moderl
commercial hotel of the first class
and the above will be sufficient K
convince all Palatkans that we ar,
now going to realize this need. DR.
Welch is entitled to the thanks of tn
people of the city for making posi-
BILE the realization of what has here
tofore been a seemingly unattainabl
business ambition.

PATTERSON
TO SPEAK IN PALATKA
Next Wednesday Night on
Subject of National Pro-
hibition.

Ex-Gov. Malcolm R. Patterson of
Tennessee will deliver an address at
the Court House next Wednesday
night, the 18th inst, on the subject
of National Prohibition. He is ac.
companied by DR.. A. c. Bane, another
prohibition leader of national repu-
tation. These gentlemen are out
under the auspices of the National
Anti-Saloon League in a campaign for
National prohibition, to make a pub
lie sentiment that will make demand
for the submission of constitutional
prohibition by congress to the states.
Gov. Patterson has been called the
modern "Saul of Tarsus," because
some three years ago he was suddenly
transformed from an opponent of
prohibition and an ally of the liquor
interests of the country, to be one Of
the foremost prohibition advocates of
the country. His conversion was sud-
den, but thorough.
No person ever questioned Gov
Patterson's sincerity in opposing pro.
hibition. He says he was conscien-
tious but was mistaken. He is the
gifted son of brilliant and popular
father, and as one of the younger lead
ers of democracy in Tennessee ht
succeeded to his fathers seat in the
U. S. Congress. He later became
governor.
He is lawyer of great ability ant
eloquence and Palatkans will enjoy {
