SECRETARY ELLIOTT
URGES GOOD ROADS.
Putnam County has done well in
the past Putnam County must do
'.lette: in the future. Tncre was a
time when hard surfaced roads were
a pride to any county and Putnam
county had her share. Now, how
ever, the cry goes up from every sec
roads. From Maine to California and
from the Great Lakes to Florida's
Coral Strand, the cry resounds, and
while many of Florida's counties
have been foremost in this great work
Putnam county so far has remained
aormant m this important task.
Our sister county St. John, has per
haps initiated and is now maturing
ine igreawtsit system ot permanent
roads of any county in the State.
This should be complimented and re
ceive the highest praise, for while it
will prove of immense value and en
hance manifold the revenue from tax
ation, it will likewise more than re
pay for the money and effort expend
ed in its construction to the owner
of lis broad teres. ,
Putnam county has, however, a
two-fold reason for demanding per
manent roads; issues of immense im
portance that no other county in the
taie has. Firtt: It is juit; as im
portant to Putnam county to have
permanent roads -for its traffic and
movements of its products which com
pare perhaps in volume and value
with anv other county in the State,
r.nd . ill lead all others when move
ments now being inaugurated will
have matured, Second: Permanent
roads will bring new settlers on our
now barren acreage which needs but
the help of man to make bloom
and blossom in prolific profusion.
3rd: Permanent roads are not a bur
den to the tax payer but a dividend
payer, an investment that has proven
to be the most profitable of all to the
farmer, the trucker, the orange
grower, the manufacturer and real
estate holders; and the history of all
permanent road moves with no single
exception is that the tax payer would
not relinquish the benehts of same
for many times its cost.
Last, but not least, Putnam county
holds the key to the permanent road
position of all the Florida peninsula
The Miami Montreal Highway pass
ing down our east coast will connect
with Palatka and Putnam county
with just a few miles of road, and
there is a movement now on foot to
make a Jacksonville-Tampa Highway
coming down the west side of St.
Johns river and going through Pa
latka, Gainesville, Ocala, Leesburg,
Dade City, Tarpon Springs, St. Pe
tersburg then to Tampa and south to
Ft. Myers, returning by Bartow, Kis-
simniee, Orlando, hanford, DeLand
and back into Palatka from the south.
This will mean that all highways lead
to Palatka; and possessing this ad
vantage it is high time that Putnam
county meet and perfect these high
ways with permanent roads and take
her place with the leading banner
counties of the State.
When this shall be accomplished,
and accomplished it will be in the no
distant future, Putnam county will
then be one of Florida s richest and
greatest counties and Palatka will
take its rightful position of one of
Honda s largest cities.
Here will meet the highways from
where intoxicating liquors are sold or
kept for sale.
Sec. 11. That intoxicating liquors,
wines or beer shall not be sold or ex
posed for sale in any room of any
building the floor of which room shall
be more than three feet above or be
low the side walk immediately in
front of such room or in the absence
of such side walk, the floor of such
room shall not be more than three
feet above or below the ground.
Sec. 12. In this Act, unless the
context otherwise requires, "person"
includes a body of persons whether
incorporated or not.
Sec. 13. That any person violating
any of the foregoing provisions of
this Act, shall be deemed guilty of
a misdemeaner and upon conviction
thereof, his license shall be forfeited
and he shall be fined not more than
one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) or
imprisoned in the County Jail not ex
ceeding twelve (12) months.
Sec. 15. That this Act is not in
tended to repeal any existing law in
reference to the sale of intoxicating
liquors, wines or beer, unless in con
flict herewith, but Chapter 6516 of
the Laws of 1913 and all other laws
in conflict herewith are hereby re
pealed.
Sec. lo. I hat this Act shall take
effect at midnight of the night of
September 30, A. D. 1915.

the west and from the east, from the
north and from the south, the logical
position being the only place to cross
St. Johns river on a bridge.
The cost of its entire construction
from north to south and from east to
west through the entire county and
later including a concrete bridge to
take the place of the wooden struc
ture now in use will be less by $200,
000 than St. Johns county is now
spending on its system of permanent
roads; when comparisons are made
it is evident that 11 St Johns county
can spend such a large sum with half
the inducement. Putnam county can
well afford the smaller sum and de
rive a double benefit It is not a
question can Putnam county afford to
ao it; but can she attord not to do it :
In the event Putnam county fails
to take advantage of this opportunity
it is entirely probable that this high
way from Jacksonville to Tampa will
pass up Palatka and be routed by
Highland and Starke or some similar
route not including Palatka.

BRYANT'S POETIC CAREER.
Two Facts About His Greatest Work,
"Thanatopsis."
Bryant was uearly twenty-three
years old wheu "Thunniopsls" was first
printed in the North American Review.
So much has U-eu said about the as
tounding precocity of this poet aud so
many errors have accumulated around
the publication of his masterpiece that
it may be well to state the facts.
We know Just two facts about this
work. First It was published when
Bryant was almost tweuty-three not
young for a poetic genius; second, that
in its original published form In the
North American lieview It U not a re
markable poem.
It was in the edition of Bryant's
poems, when the author was twenty
six or twenty-seven, that the work first
appeared in Its universally known
form. Only n few minor changes were
made after that date. This disposes of
the generally accepted statement that
"Thanatopsis" is a juvenile master
piece. Bryant was, however, a precocious
poet, although bis precocity Is not dis
played in his greatest work. One of
the most extraordinary facts about his
poetical career Is that be actually pub
lished verse during the administration
of Thomas Jefferson and during the
administration of Rutherford B. Hayes.
So long a period and so slender an out
put speak well for bis fastidious taste.

ARMS OF ANTWERP.
They
Recall the Queer Custom That
Gave the City Its Name,
nistoriaus relate that Antwerp takes
Its name from 11 castle which in Prank
ish times marked the sile of the city.
This castle was built to protect the
entrance t the Scheldt and to pre
vent foreign traders Introducing goods
into the cimnti'v without paying toll to
the sovereign lord.
The penalty for theft and smuggling
was in those days the cutting off of a
hand, and. as In this case tbe severed
members were thrown Into tbe Scheldt
the castle came to be known as And
bunerbo or, in Flemish, Antwerpen
"tbe place of baud throwing." The
castle mid two severed hands appear
on the city arms to this day.
Antwerp cathedrals tapering spire
was once compared by Charles V. to
mechlln lace. The towers of the old
Sleeu castle, the fortress (Kilace of the
former counts of Antwerp, break the
center of the line of docks nnd look as
stolid and formidable as In the days
when the castle was uecessary to guard
the shipping Here were held those
great fairs which during the middle
ages served to attract merchants from
all parts of the civilized world. Lon
