JUST HOW WE FEEL

''The Oakley Herald says oul
good friend, The Burley Herald, lis
feeling real chesty these days and the
editor is not at all backward in tel
ling that Oakley is to become the
leading town in the county. And
they poke a little fun at Burley,
possibly because we have had a few
setbacks in the last couple I
weeks"
Well, the editor is glad to plead
guilty to that sort of chesty feelin'
that comes to people living in a town
where things are looking up. He
found Oakley good town, and 1t
looks better to him every time he
looks out the window. He couldn't
be bribed to say that any other city
in our great country is superior to
Oakley, because he doesn't believe in
telling lies.
Had you noticed that most of us
Oakley fellers are feelin sorter
chesty these days? If there ever were
knockers here, most of them have
moved away or been converted to
-Oakleyism.
The Burley Herald is mistaken in
one point: We are not polxing fun at
Burley on account of her few set
backs" We don't want trouble to
befaIl anyone or anyplace, not even |
Burley. While we believe that ev-
cry man and every town has "sins |
and shortcomings" we figure that
all men are sufficiently punished by |
troubles which inevitably come TO
all in the course of lifetime. Peo-
pie will get as much of the bitter as
they deserve entirely aside from
bank troubles. So, Friend Burnley
Herald, forget the idea that your
"setbacks' delight us.
The Burley Herald goes on TO
give a glowing description of Bur-
leys good wishes for Oakley. Yes,
we know that Burley is characterized
by a spirit of benevolence and phi
and takes. a great inter
est in other towns-no doubt, partic-
ularly so when they happen to have
that she wants.
While we call Oakley the best
place in America, we think towns
are lot like people-even the bad
ones are not entirely bad.

never bothers anybody. No one has

UP GOVERNOR IN
CROWDED STREET
r"y Associated Pressl

Jacksonville, July 2.-Traffic offic-
err John S. Smith almost made real
haul here Thursday night. Jackson
ville's streets before and after the
mammoth parade in celebration Of
the opening of the St. Johns River
bridge probably were more congested
with automobile traffic than at any
other time in the history of the city,
traffic officials said.
Smith was on duty at Main and
Forsythe streets directing traffic when
a huge touring car rolled up. Smith
waved it west. The driver turned
east and started away. The traffic
officer climbed the running board and
in forcible language told the driver
to turn west or keep going east and
stop at thG- police headquarters. The
car went west but not before Smith
had discovered that the passengers
were Governor Hardee and high
city official.
Smith who has the reputation of
doing his duty regardless of whom it
may affect, won a place of honor Fri
day because of his frmness in handI-
ing the traffic job Thursday night.
He was detailed to direct traffic on
the new bridge which was opened
during the day.

PALS PLAY MANY Z
CONTESTS IN THE
NEXT FEW Weeks

Four games of baseball have been
staged for Palatka next week, two
on Monday, the fourth of July, with
Sanford and two on Wednesday and
Thursday with the team from Lawty,
Florida. The team from Lawty comes
to Palatka with good reputation and
the management has written that his
aggregation expects to give the Pa
latka boys a run for their money.
The two games on Monday, one in
the morning and one in the afternoon
are scheduled to be two of the fast
est seen on the local diamond this
season. Sanford is the only taem so
far this season which has won more
games from Palatka than it has lost.
However, it must be explained that
the two teams only played one game
and that it was won on fluke more
than anything else. The game was
lost by one of those inexplainable
tricks of fate which ~ often inter-
vene in baseball, and throw all hui
man expectations out of balance.
On the following week, Fernandino
is scheduled to play two games here,
one on the 18th and one on the 14th.
The next week Leesburg is scheduled
for three games, on the 20, p and
%. Still later that week or the next
a team from Valdosta, Ga, will play
a series in Palatka. Besides these
games others will be arranged from
time to time between now and the
first of next month.

The financial success of the band

band the finances would be taken
care of. So Palatka is to have'a band
in the near future. Mr.. Shearouse

What the fight fans saw wheh
they arrived was a great hollow
lined with men and women. a great
hollow in which the Woolworth
building could have lain down with
out scarcely having to draw in its
neck, a great hollow from the bot
tom of which only the sky, a fringe
of Jersey City's famous smokestacks
and two buildings could be seen.
One of these buildings was a fac
tory, which Struggled in neighborly
fashion right up to the southwest of
Mr.. Richards fighting parlor. The
other was the city hospital, on bluff
half mile away.
There were black specks atop this
hospital that looked suspiciOusly like
human figures. 1t seemed a safe guess
that tomorrow the doctors records
would show a surprising jump in eye
diseases, for it was a long aerial

In the arena, which, from its top

workmen were putting on the. last
touches.
The ring was the center of great
activity. The canvas covering was
pulled taut and the ropes bound with
white flannel tape.
. About the ring, experts were set,
ting up telegraph instruments which
were to take tidings from the ring
side around the globe over more thai
million miles of wires.

For the first round Carpenter did
not appear to feel the effect Of this
punishment. He fought in an out at
close quarters using chiefly right
swing or drive to Dempsey's face and

left to the body.

There was little delay in the usual
preliminaries to the championship con
test and at 3:18 the gong called the
men to the center of the ring. Thir-
teen minutes later the great inter-
national match heralded throughout
the world was over and Carpenter
was being half carried half dragged
to his corner by the police and his
seconds. Helpless and groggy and
with a blood smeared face he did not
resemble in the slightest particular

Across the ring Jack Dempsey sat
in his, corner with not mark on face

On a Charge Of

Shipley, of this city, lieutenant in
the army during the world war was
held in $1,000 bond on a charge of
bigamy following a preliminary hear
in here today.
Shipley was acquitted yesterday Of
charge of violating the Mann act.
The charges grew out of a romance
in France and resulted, according to
the authorities in a young French
woman coming to this country to join
Shipley. They were married at Folk
ston, Ga, while his legal wife was
living with her parents in Lake toun-
ty. Shipley says he believed his wife
was suing him for divorce but af-
ter his marriage to the French wo-
man learned his wife had withdrawn
the proceedings.

LEADER is SECURED TO
ORGANIZE AND DIRECT BAND HERE

At a meeting of members of the
Palatka Band and several business
men of the city Friday night it was
decided to secure the services of Il.
M. Shearouse, Jr., formerly of Balm
bridge, Georgia, as director of the re-
organized band. Mr.. Sherouse is a
competent band leader and director
and an accomplished musician, hav-
ing directed the Kissimee Concert
Band for six years and the Balm
bridge Municipal Band, the prize band
of the state of Georgia, for several
years.
Mr.. Shearouse is a graduate of the
Riverside Military Academy at Gain
esville, Georgia. For two years he
was director of an infantry regimen
tai band in France. When he was
discharged he received some of the
highest of recommendations not only
as musician but as a director.
He is a hard worker, enthusiastic
about the work and best of all he is
thoroughly conversant with the
business of directing band Pa
latka is believed fortunate in secur-
ing the services of so competent a
leader and it should be only short
time before the Gem City will have
