Old St. Joseph Is


Incorporated and


Paper Established


Effort Made To Move County
Seat From Apolachicola
To New Town

(Third of a series of articles on the rise
and decline of the old city of St. Joseph.)
While the railroad was being com-
pleted, the promoters were not idle
in other directions. The shoals' at
the mouth of Lake Wimico were re-
moved and the channel widened.
The sale of the lots of the new town
was, announced for December 14,
1835. The settlement was incorpor-
ated by an act of the legislative
council of 1836. This provided for
the establishment of a free school,
for the support of the port, for the
regulation of taverns, markets and
quarantine, in addition to prescrib-
ing the form of government.
.The Bank. of St. Joseph, -with a
capital of $1,000,000, and the-St.
Joseph Insurance Company, with a
capital of the same amount, were
also incorporated by this session of
'the council. It must be added, how-
ever, that both of these enactments
were annulled in July of 1836 by:
the United States Congress.
First Issue of Newspaper.
The necessity for advertising for
the successful development of the
new enterprise was not forgotten.
'Ithehome office of itbh publiciry de-
-partment was appfrenily The Ao-
vertiser of Apalailficola, -till in tbe
hands, of R. Dinsniore Westcott.. In
November, 1835, he issued tle first
number of the St. Joseph Telegraph,
although he probably still had his
publication office in Apalachicola.
Sooil afterwards the two papers
were merged, if indeed the old jour-
nal was not permanently suspended
before the new one appeared.
Some time before March 10, 1836,
The Telegraph was moved to St.
Joseph. Westcott and his superiors
were extremely energetic in adver-
tising the town, and it must be ad-
mitted, their rival, the 'Apalachi-
cola Land Company, was just as in-
dustrious in decrying it, with the
result that every Florida newspaper
,of the period and many in. adjacent
states were filled with material re-
lating to the enterprise.
SSo many communications poured
in on the editor of The Floridian at,
Tallahassee that he gave notice he
would publish no articles about Ap-
alachicola and St. Joseph except as
paid advertisements. Before the end
of July, 1836, Westcott was super-
seded by Peter W. Gautier Jr., a
man whose name was destined to
become so closely allied with St.
Joseph in the popular mind that
whenever people spoke of the one
they also thought of the other.
Gautier was the best stylist among
the newspaper men of the terri-
tory; he was keen, shrewd and de-
cidedly hot over-scrupulous. His pa-
per, the name of which he changed
to the St. Joseph Times in Novem-
ber, 1836, became the most quoted
sheet in Florida, chiefly because of

Deputy Hersey Knocks
Over Another Big Still

Deputy Sheriff J. G. Hersey ap-
parently has a nose for illicit liquor
stills and also a penchant for de-
stroying same, for during'"the past
seven months he has knocked off
six outfits in this vicinity.
He marked up No. 6 last week in
the form of a. 600-galloner neatly
hidden in the. swamp about four
miles north of White City. Twelve
barrels of mash were in process of
fermentation, but despite a two-day
vigil, the operator was not appre-
hended.

Dan McCarty, Ft. Pierce cattle-

Bralley Odham in Tuesday's .run-
off primary by better than 43,000
votes. Unofficial returns yesterday
as The Star went to press gave Mc-
Carty 370,051 votes to 326,942 for
Odham, the Sanford oil distributor
who used the radio talkathonn" to
become a serious threat in the
gubernatorial campaign.
McCarty carried 50 of the state's
67 counties, including Gulf, with 17
going to Odham. The east coast
went almost solidly for McCarty.
Except for Nassau county, in which
Odham led by two votes, McCarty
carried every county on the east-
ern seaboard and every county bor-
dering Alabara and Georgia across
the -top of the state.
The total vote was far below the
record 738,000 of the first primary
and McCarty suffered most from
the decline. Odham gained almost
100:000 over the 232,565 he elctlked
up in the first primary.

Program To Care for
Runaway Children Is
Provided By State
Number of Possibilities for Render-
ing Assistance Offered By
Welfare Department
At a meeting of the District 2
welfare board last week in Quincy
an expanded program of services
for runaway children which is now
provided through the state depart-
ment of public welfare was dis-
cussed, according to Mrs. W. O. An-
derson and Robert Bellows of this
city, members of the board.'
A number of possibilities for as-
sisting children are offered through
the program. The welfare depart-
ment is required to assume full re-
sponsibility for .planning for the
runaway child's return and for de-
termining the best home plan for
him. Sometimes it may be better
for the child not to'-be returned to
his home, the community from
which he.came, or. to relatives, and
there the welfare department will
have to work out some other ar-
ranngemenit. Funds can be used
only after every other possible
source has been exhausted. Par-
ents, relatives and agencies in the
child's home community have the
-first responsibility.
The age limit of children running
away from their Florida home and
found within the state who can be
helped through the program is 18
years. Under the federal law, where
an inter-state problem exists, the
'age limit is 16 years.
The entire program is designed
to strengthen the ties between run-
away children and their families.
and homes, or to provide some suit-
able living arrangement for the
child, the local board members con-
cluded.

SPORTSMANSHIP AWARDS
(Continued from page 1)
bers of the senior class
Individual Imedallion awards are
made to a boy and a girl selected
by their fellow students. An attrac-
tive sportsmanship plaque for per-
manent display also goes to each
participating school. Space is pro-
vided on the plaque for engraving
the names of the two students se-
lected each year by the school.
'Emphasis is placed on sports-
manship in its wider educational
aspects, including activities in the
school room, on the athletic field
and playground, in the school com-
munity, in the' immediate home en-
vironment and in the church and
home community.

Our Country Right or Wrong


TODAY IS MEMORIAL DAY

Today is Memo ial Day, and we pause to
honor the men who, in their own minds, have
.died to defend noble causes. Men who have thus
died have not passed in vain. They have died as
brave men, and it is:proper that we should honor
them'
Memorial Day is an outgrowth of the War
Between the States and was first observed na-
tionally in 1868 by the Grand Army of the Re-
public. Time passed! and the Mexican War, the
Spanish-American War, World War I and World
War II took their toll of American manhood, and
their graves were decorated on Memorial Day.
And today our American youth are again fight-
ing the battle of freedom in Korea and the names
-of those who fall in this "undeclared" war, will
go on the ever-lengthening Memorial Day roster.
Throughout the world today, from the small
,country burying ground to minagnificent Arlington
National Cemetery, are the graves of men who
have fought, bled and died, for noble causes and
ideals.: They have died that -we might live in
-unity and peace. and to us-theli\ irn -is charged
the responsibility) ot carln ing on those causes ind
ideals and living in unity among ourselves and'
striving to live in peace with other nations.
Let us stri\ c to carry on so that they shall not
have died in \ain. -.

The superintendent informed '/the board
,that he hail I~ien requested'to bring before
them the p:.-il.hit.i of the board adopting a
policy concerning pupils marrying and re-
maining in school. After much discussion the
board decided to be governed by a letter the
superintendent had received from the state.
department of education concerning the le-
gality of the board adopting such a policy.
'The letter is as follows: '
"Section 230.22 (1), (2), Florida Sta-
tutes, authorizes school boards to determine
and' adopt such policies as may be con-
sidered necessary by them to provide'for the
efficient operation and general improvement
of the county school system.

(Sec. 232.01). :
"Both laws and" state board regulations
are silent. on',the matter of married pupils
attending school: Even if such a policy were
made applying only to pupils sixteen and
above, the board might subject itself to a
init in the court of law on -constitutional
grounds for abridgement of rights. An added
'ground might he 'ri: influence.'of custom.
unless pupils are guilrI of grave misconduct
or persistent violation of established rules
(see Section 230.28 (8-d)) there is a
serious doubt if the' policy referred to could
lbe successfully' defended. It is not known if
there is any adjudication in other states

none in Florida." I

THE STAR, PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA


BUY A POPPY
"In Flanders fields the poppies grow." Thus
runs a line from the immortal poem of'Colonel
McRae. Poppies did grow in Flanders fields,
and the scarlet flowers but reflected the blood
of those who fought and bled for an ideal. Most
of the fighting was in vain and the ideal sank
behind the horizon of the world like the setting
sun when the war was over, but the suffering
and misery occasioned by that conflict did not
die with the last whine of a shell across no-man's
land. It goes on year after year, in humble
homes, in hospitals-wherever victims of World
Wars I and II live, and exist upon the bare
necessities of life while a nation eager for gold
and gain forgets that men ever suffered and died'
for an intangible something to make the world
safe for democracy.
SToday the ladies of the American Legion Aux-
iliary, assisted by the Girl Scouts, will be on the
streets of Port St. Joe offering scarlet poppies for
sale. The little flowers made by disabled vet-
erans will mean little in the lives of the average
civilian, but they are emblematic of the sacri-
fice, the suffering and misery of battlefields
which left in their wake not only the dead buried
in Flanders fields, but men broken in health and
relegated to the ranks of those unable to carry
on in life equally, with their comrades whose
health was unimpaired in the service of their
country.
Returns from the sale of the poppies will be
'used to aid needy ex-servicemen and their fam-
ilies, but there is still much to be done by way
of providing some of the things in life which
have been denied because of war disability or
subsequent disability.
To buy a poppy today is a sincere and kindly
gesture for those who have suffered because of
service to their country, and their loved ones
who, are standing by through adversity and de-
spair, hoping and praying for brighter days. You
can make the days brighter for someone by giv-
ing as much as you can in the purchase of a
poppy today.


One cynical excuse is gi %en for 'extending the
price and wage control law and presenting OPS
with a new lease on life. It is that this is politic-
ally expedient, partic~Alrly in a general election
year. when most of our alleged: statesmen are
leaning over backwards trying to please all the
voters and alienate none.

Lewis Returned As Representative
E. Clay Lewis Jr., was returned
,to office as representative in the
legislature from Gulf county in last
Tuesday's election, defeating C. C.
Wilson by a vote of 999 to 790. In
the first primary, Wilson lacked
but 42 votes of having a majority
.over his two opponents, Lewis and
,C. H. Johnson, the count being Wil-
son 845 Lewis 747, Johnson 139.
Last Man Examined In'18 Up Again
SWilson Gardner, 42, the last man
in the U. S. to be examined for
army service on November 11, 1918
at Troy, Ala., this week was again
called to the colors by the Gulf
county selective service board here
and passed his physical examina-
tion by Dr. J. R. Norton with fly-
ing colors.
18-20 Registration Set for June 30
President Roosevelt last Friday
set June 30 as registration day for
young men between the ages of 18
and 20. Men between 18 and 19 will

Sugar for Home Canners
Home-makers of Gulf county are
now assured of sufficient sugar for
normal home canning of fruits and
preserves, according to B. E. Ken-
ney, chairman of the Gulf county
rationing board. The regulations
permit those who have registered


for sugar ration books to receive
additional sugar for canningnot to
exceed one pound for each four
quarts of finished canned fruits.
They may also receive one pound
per person per year for the purpose
of making jams, jellies, preserves
and fruit butters.

his wit and cleverness.
Try To Secure County Seat
,When men of prominence and in-
fluence engage in a costly under-
taking and eriter into such bitter
rivalries as did the Apalachicola
Land Company and the promoters
of St. Joseph, the scene of action
will almost inevitably be at times
transferred to the political arena.
The "Saints," as they were popu-
larly called, immediately attempted
to retard the development of ihe
old town through legislative enact-
ment. With the representative, E. J.
Wood of Franklin county, which at
that time included in its boundaries
the two towns, taking the lead, a
pill was rushed through the legisla-
tive council of 1836 removing the
county seat from Apalachicola to
St. Joseph. This was undoubtedly a
case of "cast-iron nerve" on the
part of the Saints, for the construc-
tion of their town had hardly begun
4t the time when the law was ap-
proved on January 17, 1836.
But alas! Sometimes fortune does
not' favor the bold. The national
congress annulled the law. Prob-

White, the territorial delegate to
congress, who'was interested in the
Apalachicola Land Company, being
one of the trustees appointed to sell
its lands. White did everything in
his power to thwart the growth of
St. Joseph.
The attempt of 1836 was not the
last one to remove the seat of county
government from Apalachicola. The
bill was re-enacted in 1837 with the
following rather caustic preamble:-
"Whereas, the Legislative Council
of the Territory of Florida at the
last session upon a petition of
the inhabitants of Franklin County

of St. Joseph to be the public site

Years Ago of Building

Apalachicola Northern

Publisher of Apalachicola Newspa-
per Predicts Great Pros-
perity for City


(Editor's Note: Copies of the Apalachicola
Times of 1902, brought to light and pre-
served by Mrs. Ned S. Porter in "The Jo-
setta Memorial Histories of Apalachicol:(."
records this, and many other such graphic
tales of yesterday. This article is published
in The Star through the courtesy of Mrs.
Porter, a resident of our fair city. This ar-
ticle is from a copy of The Times dated
February 1, 1902.)
The Apalachicola Northern Railroad
We have noticed in the newspa-
pers that there is "a well defined
rumor" that the above railroad, pro-
jected from Apalachicola to River
Junction, 'will be built in the near
.future. And this "well defined ru-
mor" places the distinguished name
of Col. John M. Egan-, former presi-
dent of the Central of Georgia rail-
road, as being interested in and "be-
hind the enterprise."
And Col. Egan's name has usually
been the synonym of success in
ev ery railorad enterprise and
achievement with which it has been
connected.
What the completion of this en-
terprise means for the present good
and ultimate success of Apalachi-
cola as a great commercial port,
every citizen' has been long well
aware. With the plans already in
progress for the deepening of our
harbor, which will be doubly accel-
erated by the certainty of the com-
pletion of the railroad, no one can
for a moment doubt that our town
will at once enter upon a period of
new life and prosperity.
In the olden times, Apalachicola
was the third cotton port of the
gulf, receiving and shlippifi over
200000'balesi annually. Then our
wharves were piled with cotton, our
compresses at work, giving em-
ployment to all who desired to la-
bor. Watdr street was alive with
industry: incoming and .,ut.- 'i,
river steamibodr IUL- (i..iuil I- ..
loading and' 'in.l'aing rh r.i nii :l, -
ing bells and hoarse whistles, add-
ing life and zest to the busy com-
mercial scene.
And those good, old days will
come again. The opening, of this
new railroad and its attendant op-
portunities for business prosperity,
and individual thrift and enterprise
will enliven the old town and cause
it to 'outstrip the:days of its ancient
splendor. Therefore, let us "stare
fate in the face" with renewed en-
ergy and hopes that are bound to
be realized.

Visiting In California
Mr. and Mrs. T. G. Alsobrook left
this week for Lemon Grove, Calif.,
to visit their son and family, Mr.
and Mrs. Ben Alsobrook.

'Teenagers Will Soon

Be Looking for Jobs

Employment of Minors Limited To
40 Hours Per. Week; Some
Jobs Are Forbidden

Many Florida 'teenage boys and
girls will soon be leaving school to
take "vacation jobs" to earn money
for purposes of assisting the fam-
ily or for personal gain. Some work
experience should be a part of the
education of every youth.. The job
chosen, however, should be one that
points in the direction of the child's
future. The safety of the individual
boy or girl must also be taken into
consideration.
The minimum age of 16 is re-
quired for hazardous occupations.
These include jobs in or about
plants housing or manufacturing ex-
plosives, jobs in mines, motor ve-
hicle driver and helper, logging and
sawmill work, occupations involv-
ing the operation of power-driven
woodworking machines, elevator
operators, and other power-driven
hoisting operations, and/or jobs in
or about slaughtering and meat
packing plants.
The 14 and 15 years of age young-
ster may do office and other light
work, but not at the scene of con-
struction, transportation, or vessels
or any job forbidden minimum age
youth. Employment of minors is
limited to 40 hours per week, and
in all cases certificates from school
superintendents should be procured
and exhibited at place of employ-
ment. The school authorities quali-
fied to issue such certificates should
insist upon official age confirma-
tion.
All employees are urged to see
that 'teenagers return promptly, to
school at the beginning of the new
school year, as it is unlawful for a
minor to work during school hours
without proper authorization by
parents and certificate issued by
competent authority:.- : .
