Saturday Crowds
Enjoyed Sing at
The Court House

A short but enthusiastic sing was
held last night on the court house
lawn under thedirection of Palatka
Community Service.
As this was the first sing held in
several weeks, it was thoroughly en-
joyed by those present. The Com
munity Sings have suffered consid-
erably because of the wet weather,
but apparently the rain has not
dampened the spirit of the leaders
of this splendid work.
The entertainment last night was
the last to be conducted by Mr.. Teet-
ers as he is leaving today for other
fields.
The feature of the program was
the singing of the male quartette,
a newly organized musical group
which made Sts initial appearance
last night, and scored big hit. The
quartette is composed of Messrs.
Fogg, Hodge, Lecks and Bennett.
Mrs. E. L. Mann and Miss Aloe Ever
ton assisted with the program by
accompanying with the piano.
1t is hoped that sings will be stag
ed from time to time during the re-
mainder of the summer under the
leadership of local song leaders who
have been trained in the work.

 But the smoke was so thick that ne could not see the sky. There was no way of telling if there were any clouds in the sky.
 "If the Red Terror comes here we'll all have to swim, and l don't like the water" whimpered Jumper the Hare, and coughed as the smoke got in his throat

Oppose Railroads Petition
 Establishing a Surcharge

Montgomery, June 12.--(special.)--- Attorney General Harwell G. Davis and Hugh White, special assistant at torney general. have filed with the ,nterstate commerce commission brief in opposition to the petition or the railroads operating in Alabama for an order establishing surcharge of 50 per cent on all Pullman tickets purchased by intra-state passengers n Alabama. This petition Is now be- fore the interstate commerce com mission and evidence was recently taken by a special examiner.
 The states legal department con tends that the refusal of the public service commission to permit the es- tablishment of the surcharge on in- trastate traffic in this state does mol place an undue burden on interstate commerce. which IS now paying 2 surcharge for Pullman tickets anc | that the railroads did not prove ir l inc submission of testimony that ar
 undue burden has been placed on in l tsrstate commerce.
 It was admitted In the brief thai l the railroads did show that the re fusal of the Alabama commission t permit the surcharge had deprived l tbe railroads of some revenue, but |
 was contended that there is nothing to show that the revenue to be sob tained without the surcharge Is les than the amount guaranteed by th' I federal transportation act. The stat insisted that the act of the puoli service commission In permitting tn
 railroads to increase their freigh
 and passenger rates gave them sui 4 ficient revenue without the sur
 charre. and that the collection of tn surcharge will be an unnecessar
 burden on travel ip this stets.

The Voice of a Prophet Who foretells joyou things does well; Who foresees troubl best not tell.
By THORNTON w. BURGESS

Of all those who had heard the dreadful story of the Red Terror on the Great Mountain as told by King Eagle, and how the carelessness of man had started it. Mother Bear ana Mrs. .Lightfoot were the only ones who really shared in the sadness or King Eagle and Mrs. Eagle. foe see, none of the others had lived on the Great Mountain. But Mother Bear had and so had Mrs. Lightfoot. Both had come down to the Green Forest from the Great Mountain, anu 1t happened that both had lived on that side where the Red Terror had eaten every tree and bush and vine and plant.
 And as they heard how all the beautiful places they had loved so we'll the places that once had been home to them, had been destroyed by the Red Terror, which, as or 1 course you know, Is fire, they were | filled with a sorrow quite equal 10 that of King Eagle. In their near ts, way down deep. they had thousne l of some day going back there. NOW 1 they knew that they never would. There was nothing to go back 70 but a terrible blackened waste where for long tin4aAthere could be no living thing.
 They still had she beautiful Green Forest, but supposing the Red Ierror should come down there? And hins Eagle had said it might if the wino should change. So sorrow over wna' had happened was replaced by rear of what might happen, and Tn tnis fear all the others gathered on tnt
 shore of the pond of Paddy tne

 Duette Alfred is already too well known to local ring fans to need any introduction, having participated in several bouts at the local club last year, although this is his first fight in this seasons records. He is de- termined to make his first 1921 en- counter a success and will give his best against Stribling tonight
 A very good preliminary pro- gramme has been arranged with two negro scrappers, George Lee and Ol- iyer Robinson. who are out to finally decide the best man. Hollis Arnold and Pete Sarron will fight a three round bout, while Young Milton ana John Paul Jones will settle thelr grudge tonight with the gloves.
 Youngsters Good Fighters
 These two lads are the best in the s5-pound class in the city and their science and punch power has as founded local ring followers. Milton defeated Jones for the city cham pionship in their last fight, and th' latter is out to regain his laurels The programme should be the bes vet displayed this season and al though Stribling has little the bet ter of Alfred on the predictions, I Is practically a toss-up between th' | two.
 Both Stribling and Alfred are stil in high school and are considered th most popular lads in their respectlv institutions The spirit shown D. these boys in sticking to the schoi | astic course while such great op l portunity presents itself in the ring l is worthy of note, and after thei school books are finished tney WI nrobably be among the first in tn | fistic sport in the south.
