FIVE TONS OF SUGAR
 SOLD IN FOUR HOURS
Bargain Rush of Townspeopie to Se- cure Supply Just Arrived-Miii Elm pIoyss Permitted Time of. to Pur- chase.

Hundreds of buyers whe were in all states of mind from frenzy to rapture rushed the store of A. H. Huntingdon Tuesday morning and before 11-3O of sugar that arrived here Monday night This was the shipment that was intended to last D1nielson for four weeks Perhaps it will. But if it is used as rapidly as it was pur- chased by the eager buyers, it will last a little more than four hours.
 News of the arrival of ths white gold spread as rapidly as does bad news or islander and within a few minutes after the doors of the store were opened for business there was a stampede from all quarters of the town to a point that centered at the Exchange block The store force had worked till midnight Monday weighing up sugar in 5-pound lots and placing it in bags, and after so arranging approximately three tons 1t was deemed that enough had been made ready for quick de- livery to take care of the expected rush But this was an error. Dan ielson was hungry for sugar and the . three tons melted away like snow under a noon-day sun. By a. m helpers were engaged in making up more 5-pound packages and these were snapped up by eager buyers as fast as the bags were made ready
 Ten tens of sugar could have been

 The sugar was sold without discrirn- nation half dollar paid for 5 pounds of the sweet stun and there was a rapid-fire exchange of the sil- yer for the goods
 At once. an observer noted, the fu- man nature that Is in most of us be- Ean to assert itself in some of us. There was a quick effort to beat the game on the part of many to hog out more than a family's share It work cd in many cases, though not in all. CamoufiaEing by running out and trading coats or. hats with people on the street and coming back to get an other bag of gar was one of the stunts pulled off. From a thirst parlor below the track a steady stream of customers quickly turned into buyers and began to appear. They got away with number of bags, it was stated by Officer Michael Grimshaw, who f. na1ly went on duty to keep the crowd moving easily and to watch out for ~peaters- A ruRber were spotted and turned away.

ENGINEER SHELLEY
INJURED IN WIRE K

Engineer Will Shelley pei 4ps best
known in Palatka of A. c. L. R'y men,
was seriously injured in a wreck at
Huntington, on Friday afternoon of
last week. Mr.. Shelley was engineer
on No. 80, the fast train north, due
here a little after 5 p. m. At Hunt
ington this train ran into an open
switch on which were some freight
cars. Engineer Shelley hadn't much
time to think, but it is safe propo-
sition that he did everything requir-
ed of him in the way of cutting off
steam and applying the breaks. But
the train was moving at rate of about
25 or 80 miles an hour and the i'm
pact was terrific. Mr.. Shelley doesn't
know whether he jumped from the en-
CINE or not He was picked up and
found injured, and was in great pain.
The colored fremen also was injured.
These were the only persons on the
train who suffered injury. The train
did not leave the track and the pas
sengers suffered nothing more serious
than coming to a full stop without
warning and suddenly.
A special engine was ordered ur
from Sanford, and the injured engin
eer and fireman were taken to that
city for treatment.

OCKL LAWAHA vALLEYR'Y
MUST RUN ITS TRAINS.
Judge Wills Grants Injunc-
ton on Monday to Pre-
vent Stoppage.

Hon. S. j.. Hilburn of this city and
Hon. Don. c. >McMuilin, attorney for
the Florida Railway Commission APP
peared before Judge James I. Wills
at Gainesville on Monday and asked
an injunction to prevent the Ocklawa-
ha Valley Railway from stopping its
train service on November 30th, as
prayed for in the petition to the Rail
road Commission.
The railroad company represented
that it had given notice that it would
cease to operate the road on Nov.
3Oth; that it intended taking up the
rails and selling them for junk and
that they would bring more than new
rails; that the road had lost money
and that the company had no more
money to- lose.
The company was represented at
the hearing by Attorney Hooker of
Ocala. The injunction was argued by
Messrs. Hilburn and McMullin. These
gentlemen showed that the road had
discouraged business; that it had been
! an inducement for people to settle all
along the line and that if it quit. its
service now and dismantled the roat
it would be breach of contract witt
! the public as common carrier.
If the company refuses to operate
the road Judge Wills will most likel.
appoint a receiver. The road will b.
continued. It's rails and other equip
ment will not be "junked" as Judg
Hilburn contended even before h
took the case as representative of tn
Palatka business interests.

Some years ago he suffered in acci-

Poultry Elocks Smaller.

Reports recently gathered concern
ing 5,29S flocks of poultry on farms
and in small towns in all parts of the
country show that the average number
Of hens per flock this year is 107, as
compared with 146 in 1914. This in
formation, which was obtained by an
incubator manufacturer in the middle
West, indicates that shortage of sup
ply has been an important factor in
producing present high prices for poul-
try and eggs. 1t appears that a very
considerable number of poultry raisers
have sacrificed many of their hens for
the sake of immediate profits-a policy
the effects of which are now being felt
by the entire country.-Popular Me
