HASTINGS CERTAIN SHE WILL
HAVE A NEW COUNTY SOON
Continued from PAGE ~

the great celery center, as the coun-
ty seat. The territory in Seminole
county is small, but it is one of the
most prosperous counties in the state.
The creation of new county with a
rich agricultural section within its
borders, always means rapid devel-
opment. t is practically certain that
If the proposed new county of Hast
ings is created this potati section
will develop more rapidly than ever
and that the new county would soon
become one of the most prosperous
in the state.
The fight for the new county will
be made strictly upon business ba-
SIS, the contenders believing it will
serve all concerned to a better end to
divide st. Johns, creating a county
out of the agricultural end, leaving
the tourist end to develop along its
own lines.
Certainly Hastings has many rea-
sons for wanting new county, chife-
ly among them the fact that this end
OF the county has been sadly neglect
ed by st. Johns county, the control
OF the finances being in the tourist
end.
Probably the real cause of the re-
wing of the new county movement
IN this section can be traced to the
tact that nothing has been accom-
plished toward getting a new school
building for Hastings. The county
officials now allege that HASTINGS
pays in about $4,000 in school taxes
and gets bavk around $4,000 or two
tor one. Of course, this amount of
taxes IS based on a small territory
around the town of Hastings and NOT

stand it. Hastings people argue that

COUNTY CHAMBER
Of CONNIE RICE. IS
NOW BEING URGED
Several Already Have
Been Established in
State

Plans are being discussed in sew
eral of the smaller communities of
the county for forming a County
Chamber of Commerce, with the Pa
latka Chamber as the nucleus, Just
as has been done in several other
counties of the state. Such organi-
cations have found greater benefit
by union of interests and the expense
is divided over such an area that it
falls not so heavily on any one COM
munity.
A delegation of citizens was in Pa
latka yesterday from one of the
flourishing communities of the coun-
ty and said that the matter will be
taken up among the citizens of that
community next week, upon assur-
ances here that Palatka would be
delighted to have all of the commu-
mites of the county join in a county
organization.
Every activity of the Palatka
Chamber of Commerce, it is pointed
out, benefits the entire county, and
everything that benefits Palatka ben
efits the county. Few of the smaller
towns can afford the overhead ex-
pense of supporting a Chamber of
Commerce, but by combining inter
ests with the Palatka Chamber would
receive all of the benefits with only
a proportionate part of the expense.

TROUBLED IRELAND SHOCKED
AT DEATH OF PRES. GRIFFITH

Continued from Page IL
from the beginning has been among
the foremost leaders directing its ac-
! tivities. He has been somewhat out
of the limelight, however, during the
recent military activities which have
been largely directed, on behalf of
| the free state forces, by Michael Col
| Inns, head of the Irish provisional
government set up under the terms
of the Anglo-Irish treaty.
Mr. Griffith was formerly an edi-
tor of Dublin, and later established
the newspaper United Irishmen fol-
lowed by the Sim Fein and then the
Nationalist.
He first attracted attention by his
uncompromising attitude for Austen
ton by Irish members from attend
ance of the sessions of the British
parliament at Westminster. This
idea gradually formed the nucleus of
the Sim Fein organization which
took the place of the Irish National
ist movement.
In 1919 Griffith was elected pre-
siding officer for the opening of the
Sim Fein conference in Dublin. He
was later nominated as Sim Fein
delegate from East Cavan. During
the peace conference at Paris in 1919
he was chosen as an Irish delegate
to fight the Irish case, but failure to
get safe conduct from the British
government prevented his attendance
In July 1919 Griffith was elected
acting president of the Irish national
assembly in the absence of canon de
Valera, who was in the United States
In October of the same year he was
elected one of the permanent vice
presidents of the Sim Fem organiza-
ton.
Griffith was arrested in Dublin in !
NoVember( 1920, and spent seven
months in Mount Joy prison.
Griffith accompanied de Valera to
London in July when the extended !
series of conferences was opened. |
Later when the conferences shifted
to different points, Griffith was ap-
pointed chairman of the Sim Fein
He was in London carrying
on the negotiations which eliminated
last December with the signing of
the treaty between Great Britain and
Ireland

CAP TAIN Of Ill
FATEp BOAT NOW
Is BE INC SOUGHT
Five Persons Perish in
Explosion Off Miami
Shore

Miami, August 12.-The failure Of
Captain Sot Papas, master of the
yacht Shirin, which burned three
miles off Miami beach late yesterday
to appear THE inquest over the
bodies of the five persons who lost
their lives in the disaster, set for 1C
O'Clock this morning, resulted in the
issuance of warrant for Papas' ar
rest and a postponement of the in
quest until he could be found.
A re-check of the passenger list
and roll of the crew showed only one
missing, a negress named Rosa Sol
onion. The five dead include one
white woman passenger, Mrs. Flor
ence Bond, So years old, a first-class
passenger, who resided in Miami;
Marion Keretz, engineer, of Nassau;
Nick Plakias, steward, Miami, and
two negroes.
The converted yacht, commanded
by Captain Sot Papas, making her
maiden trip as a passenger and mail
carrier, was just outside the govern
ment cut when a terrific explosion,
evidently, originating in the engine
room, shook the vessel from bog to
stern and left the deft mass of
wreckage.
Hardly had the force of the exple-
sion settled, before the now wrecked
hulk burst into flames.
Passengers who were not thrown
overheard by the explosion began to
jump into the water at the first ap-
pearance Of fire. Others, including
the passengers above deck, remained
as long as possible aboard the craft
Unusual scenes Of herosm in the
face of odds were related by those
who were fortunate enough to view
the wreckage from a distance and
rememmber what they witnessed.
A passing tanker was probably the
first to offer assistance, or report
the tragedy, although the schooner
Genevieve was but a short distance
away when the Shiriu burst into
flames.

little is said of the vast amount of
general taxes we pay into the coun-
ty, for which we get but little in re-
turn. Officials of the county allege
that the Hastings section pays only
about ~ per cent of the taxes paid
into the county, using, of course, the
small territory in the immediate vi
entity of the town of Hastings. In
the event we only paid IL per cent,
think of what our share in the Anas-

BILL LIMITS PROFITS
OF JOINT LAND BANKS

Under a bill introduced yesterday by
Senator Borah Of Idaho the dividends Of
joint stock land banks would be limited
to 6 per cent. All profits in excess OF 6
per cent would be paid into the federal
Treasury.
The bin will make the profits of stock
holders Of joint stock land banks the
same as dividends now allowed by law
to stockholders in federal reserve banks.
The Borah bill does not in any way af-
feet federal land banks which are CO.
operative concerns Of which the stock
is owned by borrowing farmers. The
bill only applies to joint stock land
banks which are privately organized
corporations owned by private investors
and operated for profit.
As these banks are now in some cases
making IL per cent per annum and their
stock is selling as high as $40 per
share. the Borah bill. when 1t becomes
a law. will produce heavy and con-
slant revenue for the benefit of tax
payers. The Federal Farm Loan Board
is TO be granted power to regulate the
salaries and expenses of joint stock
land banks. SO there will be no oppor-
tunity for them to absorb excess profits
by paying high salaries.
