Clyde. Beach & Miller and other lines
ot at. Johns river steamers, but to an

The funeral service was held at his
late home at 10:30 Wednesday morning
and was conducted by Rev. P. 0. Cason
of the First Baptist church. The inter
ment was in West View cemetery.
The death of Capt. Adams while not
unexpected was nevertheless a shock to
Ibe people of Palatka and during the
day many calls were made at Ihe home
by personal friends, and many letters
and telegrams of sympathy have been
received from out of town acquaint
ances and friends. At the funeral there
were many beautiful tokens of esteem
in the way of floral tributes, among
wnicn were inose ot ration Anderson
chapter United Daughters of the Con
federacy, Clyde Line, Beach & Miller
Line, officers of the Steamer Crescent
and from numerous friends. The pall

Capt. Adams was the dean of Palatka'
male citizens by reason of his long
residence ana as an authority on its his
ory, growth and personal recollections.
He had resided in Palatka since Oct
1856 a term of 56 years a period ex
cecaed by no man except perhaps Capt
uunham ot J.asl y alalka. Capt. Adams
was perhaps most highly honored and
best known as a man of sterling intcgri
ly. tie was a man ot rare good sense
and sound judgment, who had little
sympathy with cant or affectation. The
square deal as exemplified in the
Golden Rule was his invariable rule of
business. He was a man whose word
was an unquestioned bond that never
went below par.
In his "Memoirs of Florida. ' Ihe late
Governor Francis r. Fleming, volume 2,
page 4U3, says ot capt. Adams:
Kicnara i. Adams, ot i'alalka. was
born at Cavendish, Windsor County,
vt., in intd ana received tne usual edu
cation of a New England boy in ihe
public and district schools of his county,
white being reared upon the farm.
Later he obtained a clerkship in the
mercantile business in Boston, and from
thai city removed to Morula in 1856,
He located at Palatka and was one of
the early modern settlers of Putnam
County. His first occupation after
riving was as driver of a stage between
Palalka and lampa. In 1861 he ioined
Norton's company at Gainesville but
did not enlist. He was ordered to In
dian River by Colonel Dilworlh and for
two years was detailed in the Ouarler
master's Department, being enrolled in
Company H, Fifth battalion, Florida
cavalry. During the expedition to St.
Johns liluii, he baa charge ol Ihe wag
ons, and after the evacuation, was left
wjtn the learns on the east side ol the
river to get out as best he could. Bv
dint of hard work and much worry he
managed to swim Ihe creeks with his
animals, gol out to Waldo and reported
to his command near Jacksonville. He
was ordered to Waldo and stationed
there for some time afterward and was
in charge of the wagon train between
Bayport and Archer. F'or five months
he was engaged in transposing blockade
goods between these points. Later, be
was stationed at Gainesville in Ihe
quartermaster's department and furnish
ed supplies to all Ihe commands east
and south of the Suwanee river. In
1864 he was relieved bv Major Hamilton
and ordered lo Fort Meade with sup
plies for Dickinson. He was met by
that officer at the Flat ford of the Hills-
boro river, but was afterward aken pri
soner by deserters and his wagon train
burned. Later, after traveling through
Alachua, Levy and Hernando Counties,
he got to Lake City unl joined General
1- inegan at Olustee, where he helped in
Ihe care of the wounded. He was next
ordered to furnish commissary supplies
irom bis wagon Irain until he ioined
1-inegan at camp Milton, where be re
mained until the brigade was ordered
back to Florida from Quitman, and there
be remained until the surrender. One
of his later services was the lake Ihe
machinery of! the gunboat Columbine
from Horse Landing lo Waldo bv wag
on train. After the surrender he re-
tuaned to Palatka and resumed his oc
cupation in the steamboat business far
several years. He carried the mails on
the only boat not captured bv the Fed
erals, ana his was the first passenger
boat up the Ucklawaha river. In 1872
Captain Adams was appointed agent at
Palalka for the river boats and has since
served in thai capacity through all Ihe
changes of the different lines at that
point. He has long been prominently
identified wilh Ihe affairs of his section
and factor in Ibe development of Ibe
Slate. In 1869 he was married to Miss
Emily F. Holland of Georgia, and they
have one child, Richard F. Adams."
capt. Adams is survived bv his wife
nd one son, Mr. R. F. Adams of Ibis

THE ALLEGATIONS
And in Plea for Fairness Hurls
Defiance at the Allegator,
wnen a man, a community, a state
nation uepatts irom a reasonabl
rule of fairness and iustifo n i,
tween themselves, in thought, word
or deed, by just so mui'h do they lose
their self respect, which should be
invaiuaoie to every man, and the re
spect oi men; lellowman, which, in
65s aim civilizations nas Deen es
teemed as the greatest earthly pos-
ccaoiuii a man cuuia nave, jno money
consideration or political aspiration
should be considered as compensation
iui- ine loss oi a man's "pood name."
In all ages men have differed on bat
tlefield and forum, and have fought
their different abilities, but the man
who has been unfair, to accomplish
his purposes, has always been con
demned at the bar of public opinion.
I have differed with L. L. Moody on
public questions affecting the inter
ests of every tax payer in Putnam
county, and at the bar or nnhbV nnin.
ion, and in the court of last appeal
'rhe People," I have been sustained
wnue ne nas been condemned; and
now he comes out as nuhlidv aa ri
sible and accuses me of hoodwinking
me jieuyic, oi malting many mistale
ments, and "only regrets that he can
not turn the oliiee over to a man with
clean hands."
as to nis charge of hoodwinking, it
is an insult to the intelligence of the
people of Putnam county; as to the
charge of mistatemcnts, Uier? is not
one une ot anything that I have pub
lished that will bear the construction
he has chosen to give. I never said
he was running "on four different
tickets," but I did say that he had the
ngnt to solicit votes on the national
republican, socialist and independent
pianurms, Deeause such was my in
formation. I never said the "shnll
mound deal had been made." but. thni
it seemed to have been made, mid
the records will fully endorse such a
statement.
I never said that he could nr wnnln
bring back whiskev into Putnam
county, but that information had come
to me mat he was soliciting votes on
the representation that he would do
so. If the published records do not
show that Mr. Moody has been un
fair, then I will make public acknowl
edgement that I do not understand
my mother tongue, and do not know
how to express myself in simple, plain
English.
It matters so little to thp
Putnam county and the state what
Moody thinks of me, but it does mat
ter when our newsnaners will nn
their columns, either gratuitously or
iiuin mercenary motives, lor an at
tack so personal, bitter and unwar
ranted, by lact or eircumscauces. ud
on any iree citizen. Thev are snn-
posed to be, by every rule of decent
journalism, the representatives of the
intelligence oi our people, and the de
fenders of what is clean and pure in
politics. Is it fair to their subscrib
ers, who by their ballots had exnress-
ed themselves almost unanimously, to
publish an attack so utterly untrue
in every particular as the article
against me last Friday? l'ersonnally
i oo no care, but 1 do not bleieve my
friends should be insulted by being
told that they voted for a man who
was altogether unworthy, and by a
man whom over 700 of his fellow cit
izens, by-their ballots rejected as un
worthy of their vote and confidence.
I am willing to leave it to the newspa
per fraternity of the state, if the dem
ocratic newspapers of Palatka have
been fair to their readers in pub
lishing not only the disappointed wait
ings ot an independent socialist, but
veiled accusations which the people
by their ballots neither sustained not
endorsed. In my humble judgment,
gentlemen of the Palatka press, vou
owe your democratic and republican
readers an apology, for you have with
all the prestage you command, and
to the extent of your circulation, al
lowed whoever may read your pa
pers to believe that the County Com
missioner from the second district of
Putnam county is sadly in need of in
formation in the ninth commandment.
and is a man who has fouled his hands
by taking what he has not honestly
earned. You don't believe it your
selves then fairness to yourselves, to
your readers, and to the general pub
lic demands that you repudiate the
slanderous tone of the article. Had
the article any reference whatever to
the public good, there would have
been some reason for its publication.
Now, to Mr. Moody. I would say he
knows exactly where I live, and I will
meet any appointment he chooses to
make, and if I cannot satisfy him that
he is mistaken, that I have done him
and the people no wrong, I will take
the consequences without hesitation.

Death Dr. W. W.C. Wall.
People in all parts of Putnam coun
ty are mourning today for the untime
ly death of one of Putnam's most
promising sons Dr. W. W. C. Wall,
which occurred at the home of his pa
rents, Senator and Mrs. John P. Wall,
at Putnam Hall on Wednesday, the
20th inst.
The funeral was held on Thursday
at 2 p. m. from Paran Church, Grand
in, and the interment was in the
church cemetery. Dr. Wall was a
member of the Baptist church and
was also a Mason and a member of
St. Johns Lodge. K. of P. in this ritv.
The burial service was according1 tu
the Masonic ritual, assisted bv Rev. B.
R. Mosely, pastor of the church.
Dr. Wall was born in Putnam coun
ty and was M years. 6 months and 3
days old. He was a Spanish War vet-
an, having enlisted in this city as a
member ot Company 1), F irst F lorida
Volunteer Infantry, and in which Cum
pany he held the rank of corporal. Af
ter being mustered out of service at
the close of the war he attended the
southern Dental College, a depart
ment of the Atlanta College of Phy
sicians and Surgeons, and from which
he was graduated. He practiced his
profession in Palatka some time, but
because ot tailing health, went to the
Pacific coast, settling in the State of
Washington. His death is said to be
due to measles contracted during the
war
It is due to the memory of Dr. Wall
to say that no more deservedly popu
lar young man ever lived in Palatka
or Putnam ccounty, and the mourning
over his death is acute and sincere
and general. It was onlv two or
three months ago that he left Wash
ington to come home for a visit, leav
ing his wife and family behind. Too
all the relatives sincere sympathy is
extended.
Dr. Wall was a classmate of Dr. J.
W. Darsey of this city, his successor.
