no opposition of consequence. The
support essential to building and
loan association, however, has not
been forthcoming, as Mr.. Merriam
says, because those who could make
it possible are not unit due to
their desire to be right before pro-
ceeding. Mr.. Merriam is confident,
however, that there is more than
reasonable assurance, in the post
card replies, of the need of an insti-
tuition to further building projects,
and further convinced, he says, that
greater advertising of Palatka's
advantages will attract many more
desirble investors, home seekers and
industries to the city.
The local civic organization has
put forth particular effort to in
crease confidence in Palatka's poten-
tialities, and the positive superla-
tiveness of the city's future. A cam
pdlSl' dlIlouSH hoI PuO AoAeh e'o
such, has been waged to encourage
everyone to look forward to Palatka
as city several times its present
size. The probabilities of such
growth are not remote, and the pos
sibilities are equal to Palatka's eff
forts. The growth of Jacksonville,
the magnitude of Miami, the majesty
of Atlanta, all reflect the conf
dence of the citizens of those COM
munities, according to Mr.. Merriam.
The Chamber of Commerce board
of governors will discuss the results
! of the postcard campaign this after
, noon, and consider the immediate
and consequent requirements. 1t is
thought something progressive and
characteristic of a growing commu-
nifty will be the result.

Fire Breaks Out,
in Schoonre at
Jax Early Today
IBy AssocIayed PreSs.l

Jacksonville, Dec. 29.-Flre broke
out in the hold of the auxiliary
schooner Percy R. Pyne H., at 2
o'clock this morning and seven hours
later the schooner was still burning:
The vessel, of 1900 tons, had a
cargo of creosoted crossties aboard.
To prevent a possible spread of the
flames to the wharf the schooner
was towed to midstream and an
chored.
At 11:30 the flames were still rag
ing and the fire department decided
to attempt TO sink he four-master in
an effort to extinguish the flames.
The department then began pumping
enormous quantities of water into it.
The schooner was sunk in seventeen
feet of water and the flames were ex-
tinguished. A rough estimate places
the damage at approximately $4,000.

In New York city, recently, before Justice Borst, was tried the case of a man chare ed with having liquor ille- gallv in his possession. In order that the jurors might be fully informed as to the essential fact, the court permit ted the jurors to taste the liquid in question. They did so. Each took a g ood big swig and, having taken it., smiled upon his felaow iurymen. They concluded their deliberations in short order and returned a verdict aequitting the defendant. The question then arose in the minds of the spectators whether the staF wasn't liquor after alh and superior quality at that; whether it wasn't case of 'the time has come when drinking men must stand togesher."

 We are circulating a petition to the Postmaster General asking that we be granted this maiE service and that this office be made a money order office and as soon as we can get signatures will forward it to you. to be presented.
 We would, ask that you take this matter up with the Postal Department at an early date and with your usual vigorous efforts endeavor to have our requests granted.
