"Port St. Joe- The Outlet Pott fot the Apolachicola-ChattahoocheeValley" VOLUME XV Single Copy 8c PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 1952 $3.00 Per Year NUMBER 3 Much Excitement As St. Joe Named Convention City Hall Built and Preparations Made for Reception of Noted Delegates (Fourth of a series of articles on the rise and decline of the old city of St. Joseph.) The next political move was the .annual election of a delegate to the legislative council lf the territory. St. Joseph proposed Peter W. Gau- tier Jr., while the opponents put up .Hiram Manley. The former, well- ,nown and popular, was elected, ljuch to the consternation of the g pporters of the, old town of Ap- alachicola. However, during the next session of the council he displayed as much wisdom as shrewdness. The two i.lportant bills passed by the body which related to St. Joseph were in all probability sponsored by him. 'The first one provided for the for- mation of a new county, to be known as Calhoun, from portions of Franklin, Washington and Jackson counties. St. Joseph was chosen as the county seat. It was probably the wisest thing that could be done under the cir- cumstances, and was so recognized 'by the Apalachicolians, whose pub- li. spokesman, the. Apalachicola Ga- ztrte. commented thus: "The legis- lative council will thu free (if theii pow'aIs bould prove equal lu the tajrti i to'iegl. ance, without running foul of our rights and interests." The Constitutional Convention The other law mentioned above designated St. Josephc as the,meet- 'inug place of tke convention that was to draw up a constitution for Flor- ida. This may, be considered the ,greatest political triumph ever won (by the Saints. In passage of the bill, Gautier's hand appeared more .than once. The opposing Gazette quoted a letter, from him in the is- sue of February 7, saying that the bill was. now up for the third read- ing. On the 19th, after the law had passed, the same paper, declared: (Continuer on page 7) Opening Day On Lakes Draws Large Number Sunday saw the lifting of the two months closed season on fishing in the Dead Lakes and it is estimated that about 1700 anglers were on hand to dunk worms and other types of bait. Excellent catches were reported due to the fact that the water was on the rise. Fishermen in the know took advantage of the fact that the willow flies were hatching out and used the little cusses for bait. Opening day on the lakes for the previous three years saw 1,500, 1,880 and 1,962 anglers on the wa- ter, with respective catches of 14,- &35, 17,296 and 21,190 fish. It is es- timated that about 20,000 fish were taken last Sunday. Operators of fish camps on the Dead Lakes report that practically all accommodations were sold out for this week and that they antici- pate ,business to -be exceptionally good for the next" three or four months. There will 'be no closed season on the lakes in future. Visiting Friends Mrs. Anna'Balkcom of Tallahas- see was a visitor here last week saying hello to her many friends. Plans Take Shape for County Health Check Everyone Fifteen Years Or Over Urged To Take Advantage of Free Examinations By LILLIAN F. McNAIR The ground floor laid in' April for the forthcoming "multiphasic" or "Four-Way Health. Checkup" took shape Tuesday evening when of- ficers and members of the Gulf ,County Tuberculosis & Health As- sociation,a.nd citizens interested in the health of the community met in the elementary school building. The agenda for this meeting em- braced locations, schedules, days and hours that the "twin-trailer" teams will be in each community of the county. Volunteer workers for each community are now being contacted and their names will be announced shortly. Great enthusiasm was manifested by the 35 attending this meeting when they resolved "that each and every one in the county 15 years of age and over should take advantage of the opportunity that will be of- fered from July 8 through 24t" Enmbree Walker, field worker of the bureau of tuberculosis control .of the Florida State Board of Health, Jacksonville, was at the meeting and ably directed the thoughts' of everyone toward the great under- taking 'of building this highly im- portant program to the full realiza- tion of a good job "well done." 4..--- Carter Family From Grand 'Ole Opry Comig.,To aCity' The Carter Family of Grand Ole Opry fame will play in Port St. Joe this evening (Friday) at the gram- mar school auditorium under spon- sorship of Wyillis V. Rowan Post 116, American Legion, the curtain to rise at 8 o'clock. Featured will be Little June Car- ter and Mother Mabelle, and as an added attraction free flour will be given away. Those contemplafthng seeing the Carter Family had better go early, as at prveious shows from the Ole Opry, the standing room only sign was hung out early. Week-end Visitors pur.tis Evans and Bill Nowling of Akin, S. C., were visitors here last week-end. Loyce Davis accompanied them back to Aiken Sunday. Mrs. Daughtry Has Visitors Mrs. James Lindsey of Pensacola and Mrs. John Lindsey of Sumatra were visiting here Wednesday with Mrs. W. J. Daughtry. We Are Sincerely Sorry The publisher of The Star ex- presses deep regret over the fact that in a story printed May 23 the ages of the boys involved, which ages were obtained from local officials, were not as pub- lished, the boys being younger. It .has always been the policy of The Star to withhold names of youth Who become involved with the law for the ,first time, but in this instance it was deemed ex- pedient to give the names, since the boys apparently were of an age where they should know what they were doing. It is regrettable that The Star was misinformed in the matter, and wishes to ap- ologize to the parents of the boys involved, since it was unin- tentional. We have never delib- erately published an article with the intention of harming any in- dividual or individuals. V^^ ^''^VS^ 'w'^W ^SS^'^^^SW W^.l^/^ Official Canvass Gives Dan Morgin Of 47,484 Votes Almost As Many Ballots Cast In Runoff As In First Primary Official figures released Tuesday from Tallahassee by the state can- vassing board showed that Dan Mc- Carty polled a record 384,200 votes to defeat Brailey Odham for the governorship of Florida by 47,484, and the board did then formally de- clare McCarty the Democratic nom- inee. That means he will .be the next governor, since Harry Swan of Miami, who won the Republican nomination with 10,217 votes, won't have a chance in the November gen- eral election, since Democrats out- number Republicans 14 to 1 in Florida. Odham, who barely got into the runoff some 128,000 votes :behind McCarty, in the first primary, was credited with 336,716 votes in the second primary. The official returns showed that McCarty carried 51 counties and Odham 16. However, the vote was so close in a dozen counties that it could almost be called a tie. Fewer than 100 votes separated the two in DeSoto, Dixie, Hendry, Liberty, Highlands, Levy, Osceola, Pinellas, Sumter, Taylor and Washington counties. ':," The'total oft 72ii I \I'M es esast for governor in the second primai'y fell 17,581 short-'4of the record cast in the first primary three weeks pre-, viously. The official tubtilation also con- firmed that the Democrats had se- lected 19 delegates to the national convention pledged to support the presidential bid of Sen. Richard B. Russell of Georgia, and five pledged to Sen. Estes Kefauver. Enjoy Visit At Beach fr la ei H in hi B an R City Again Port of Call For Coastwise Shipping Waterman Company Subsidiary Re- sumes Schedule Interrupted By World War II Port St. Joe last Friday again be- came a port of call for coastwise shipping when the 15,000-ton Pan- Atlantic steamer DeSoto docked to take on':a caro of paper and paper- board containers from the St. Joe Paper Company for shipment to its plant at Hackensack, N. J. Arrival of the DeSoto resumed a schedule that was interrupted al- most 11 years ago at the outbreak of World War II, and hereafter the Pan-Atlantic Company, a subsidiary of the Waterman Steamship Com- pany, will make two calls a month here and expects to handle about 500 tons of paper and aperr pro- ducts at, each call. Capt. John D. Are, master of the freighter, took paper mill offi- cials and city officials on a tour of the ship while it was being loaded. Arrangements for resumption of shipping service were negotiated by city and paper mill officials and representatives of the steamship company. Jake Belin, manager of the container.division of the mill, states that the anticipated 1000 tons monthly'is only a starter, and that the tonnage is expected to increase as the present mill expansion pro- ject is completed.

If You're Not Registered You Can't Vote A lot of citizens of Port St. Joe apparently don't know or have forgotten that 'way back in No- vember of last year a city ordin- ance became effective calling for re-registration of all voters in or- der to get the "deadwood" off the city registration books. To date, accqrding.to City Clerk Ben Dickens, approximately 250 voters have re-registered, which is about 700 short of the number of voters in the city. The registration .books are at the city hall and will remain open until ten days prior to the next city election, Which falls on Sep- tember 9. Therefore, if you have not registered, you have until Au- gust 29 to do so .. 'But don't put it off, until then register .today, for if you aren't registered you can't vote in a city election. Civic clubs of the city are be- ing called upon to get people to register.

But this time it's us ... and we admit we're pretty smart. The Great Jehovah, who has always been pretty indulgent with us Americans, let us build' something we wish we didn't have-the atom bomb-just as a warning, perhaps. But did we heed it? Now that we've learned how to destroy matter, we're going to create it, only much better than the One vwho created us. That's the reason for that five-billion i olt "cosmotror" the Atomic Energy Commission has been playing with. And, from what we hear,'we are soon to have :a new bomb that will have the explosive force of all the.bombs dropped during World War II. That could only be the fabulous hydrogen bomb -. which will be a dandy thing to have around. And, to make the picture more exciting, Russia :is said to be "as near, or nearer" to this achieve- ment. Now the senate appropriations committee has' requested that the National Security Council, , consisting of President Trurimah, secretaries of ,state anJi defense, apd chairman of the National Security Resources Board, review the president's $5,000,000,000 atomic expansion program before ,congress is asked for the money. Thus, if the grand blow-up of civilization can 'be stalled off a little longer, it may not be such TEN YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star i--- Section Designated Military Area Information received by The: Star from Lt.

In any case, it should be fairly certain that if there's any truth in the Biblical statement: "The Lord, thy God, is a jealous God" ., He should be about ready to lower the boom. But we don't know, and neither does, anyone else-not even the scientists. THE NATION MAY BE SAFER, AT THAT! It's always been somewhat of a mystery to us why the draft law provides liberal deferment policies for college men, while dealing less gently with farmers and working men. The answer, judging by late news from a dozen campuses, is that college boys have been deferred in order that there might be someone on hand to take care of the vital task of dispos- ing of discarded ladies' underwear. Surely, there is a job that must be done in these trying times, and, apparently, the average college boy of 1952 has just the mentality for the assignment. We apologize to the draft officials for wonder- ing if there was a good reason for setting up two standards' by which to determine who shall have, the privilege of dying for his country and who shall not.-West Bend (Wis.)

A new order of the food and drugs adminis- tration, to have the force of law next August, out- laws 30 ingredients now commonly used in bread sold across state lines. Proving, no doubt, ,that what you don't know doesn't hurt you that bread has contained such items as blackstrap molasses, concentrated water-extract of raisins and prunes, cottonseed flour, peanut flour, oat four, rolled oats and a long list of chemicals. So, if you want any polyoxyethelene mono- stearate in your bread after that date, you'll have to bake it yourself. It's the stuff that makes bread seem fresh for days after it ain't.

STARDUST and MOONSHINE Along with some 1800 or more other ardent devotees of the sport made popular by Izaak Walton, (most of them apparently coming from Alabama, Geoogia an.l Bay county), we hied ourselves to the Dead Lakes for the grand opening, which fell on Sunday, and returned with our just share of the spoils- two limits of 25-one for us and one for our frau. On the way to Stardust Lodge our wife could hardly contain her- self as she gazed upon the wild blackberries ripening alongside the road, and no' ooner had we arrived at Stardust than she poured herself into a pair of jeans, and nothing would do but that we go out and pluck berries. We plucked 'em, alright about four gallons of 'em-and when we got through our arms looked as though we had gone three fast rounds with a mowing machine. . And on top of that we picked up a flock of red bugs. .. Taking stock Sunday evening as. we were preparing to leave the quiet and solitude of Stardust and return to the hustle annd bustle of the city, we gazed sadly at what Saturday had been a shining example of Am- erican manhood.... Our arms were criss-crossed with briar scratches,. our fingers were loaded with thorns and cut and jabbed by fins of the fish we had hauled in, large red bumps from red bugs adorned our anatomy from waist to ankle, ve burned from the bites of yellow flies and itched from the jabs of man-eating mosquitoes, our bones ached from sitting in the boat from dawn until a couple of hours be- fore noon but we were happy aid contented, even though we had to scratch continuously, for we had met the enemy and come off with our share of the spoils. Yep, you guessed it. ... We'll; be right back up at Stardust dur- ing the week-end to do it all over again! Maybe rou don't know it, but you are 100 times the man your greatreatea-grandpappy was. The reason? We've got almost 10 horsepower working for each of us around the clock, 365 days a year. .. When we compare this with the average man's output of 1/10 of a horsepower, we see that en- gineering developments have in- creased man's output at least 100 times., We noticed that when we were paddling our boat during the week-end. Our 1/10 h.p. didn't move it along very fast, what with a 207-pound dead weight in the form of our wife sitting up front . .but boy, did that boat step along when we started up our out- board motor! We noticed the dif- ference right away and were duly thankful to the bright boys who have given us'them there 10 h.p. We'll end this column with a na- ture note: The,'other day our wife laid out a change of clothes for us on the 'bed, and as we were shuck- ing off our work clothes, the sock she had laid out-a brand new one we'd never seen -before-slid off the side of the bed onto the floor. It was a gaily-striped creation, pre- dominantly yellow, and as we no- ticed it out of the' corner of our eye, we thought a coral snake had sneaked into the house. We grabbed up our shoe and attempted to beat it to death before we dis- covered what it was. Our wife called up the stairs to know what all the ruckus was about, and we sheepishly explained. We never did like coral snakes, nohow. --Jf Visitors From Chicago Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Goforth of Chicago were visitors here with Mr. and Mrs. Ben Dickens Jr., for sev- eraf days last week and this, week.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA Old St. Joseph Subject Of Tallahassee Writer Loyal Compton, Pinch Hitting for Governor, Gives His Impres- sions of Ancient City By LOYAL COMPTON ,(Ed-Note: Loyal Compton, pinch ;hitting in Fuller Warren's "Facts and Figures" column, gives his im- pressions of the ancient City of St. Joseph, some of which apparently are a bit off thle beam but, never- theless, interesting.) Florida has many ghost towns, but the most fabulous of them all was St. Joseph. Only 114 years ago St. Joseph was the metropolis of Florida, with a population of 6000, two railroads and a harbor teeming with sailing ships from ports all over the world. Today, a cemetery is the sole re- minder of the bustling city which was destroyed by yellow fever and a hurricane in 1844. I have poked around in the jungle growth of pine, matted creepers and palmettoes which cover the old townsite-just south of Port St. Joe on the road to Apalachicola- but I have never been able to find a single trace of the once-proud city. Indeed, my knowledge of St. Joseph would be scant but for three books. Alexander Key's "The W\rath ,and the Wind," Rubylea Hall's his- torical novel, "The Great Tide," and the Florida Guidebook. As late as 1923, Mrs. Hall found tangible evidence of a grand and gross St. Joseph. When the tide was'low it was possible to walk out into St. Joseph's Bay for a half mile or .more and never.sink into :sand or silt. The reason?'The whole :area was covered with masses of bricks which had served as St. Joseph's busy wharf and piers. But these bricks-about S inches long and 5 inches wide and, stamped ""St. Joseph Brick Works" have F largely disappeared. Some were hauled away by salvagers to form foundations for modern Port St. Joe, two miles to the north. (Ed Note: Only bricks we have seen from the ancient city were made in northern cities or came from Eng- land and France as ballast in the siling ships that called at the old city.)' As the bricks were evidence of wealthy St. Joseph, mounds of glass found by Mrs. Hall in 1923 were evidence of the wicked St. Joseph. These piles of glass-some contain- ing unbroken bottles, tumbler; and mugs--marked the sites of saoons Mrs. Hall discovered fourtee;' such mounds and, by stepping them off, she estimated that there was at least one saloon, sometimes two, for every block of the main street. As a matter of historical fact. St. Joseph was once the richest and wickedest city in the southeastern .U. S. Along the Gulf coast, St. Joseph was known as Sodom and its sister port of Apalachicola as Gomorrah. Both ports owed their affluence to the thriving cotton trade, with as many as 150.000 bales of cotton shliped annually from St.J.oseph alone. St. Joseph was the terminus of two railroads. one from Lake Wimico (S miles northwest of Ap- alachicola) and the other from lola (7 miles north of \ewahitclhka). (Ed Note: Figures available shot the largest amount of cotton ever shipped from St. Joseph in a year was 32.76S bales in 1840.) o In its boom days. St. Joseph boasted brick office buildings and warehouses. Cotton brokers built palatial mansions. Town lots sold for as iluch as $3000. There were two luxury hotels, the Byron House and the Pickwick House. A surprisingly large number of doctors and lawyers advertised their services in the St. Joseph Times, a weekly gazette published each Sat- urday by Peter \V. Gautier Jr. The I subscription price was $5 a year, and the advertising rate was $1 per inch. In The Times of February 23, 1839, a brokerage and ship chand- lery concern offered a number of seagoing vessels for sale, including a seven-ton sloop and a man-of-war mounting 20 guns. In 'the same is- sue Editor Gautier boosted his city thusly: "The depth and security of harbor, its health, beauty of loca- tion and direct means of communi- cation with the interior point it out as the importing emporium for West Florida .. (Ed Note: In June of 1S3S a highway was com- pleted from Georgia through Mari- anna and St. Joseph to Apalachi- cola.) Only two years later came the yellow fever epidemic, followed by the hurricane and high tide which flattened St. Joseph with the de- structive power of a giant bull- dozer. (Ed Note: Most of the build- ings had been torn down and car- ried by boat to Apalachicola at the end of 1843. prior to the hurricane.) Every time I pass the old town- site I am reminded that the work of man's hands is transitory: only the works of his mind endure.

Picnickers of the future at Man- .atee Springs State Park on the Su- wanee River near Chiefland will enjoy their sandwiches, roast their steaks and toast their marshma&' lows where Indians 800 years ago roasted venison, ate shellfish and made stew of marrow and coontie roots. In .revealing this bit of rare Flor- ida history, Ripley P.

"Here Indians had eaten fresh water mussels, birds, squirrels, rab- bits, opossum, alligator, box and .gopher turtles, bear and countless deer," Bullen said. "One hip bone of a deer contained the deeply em- bedded tip of a stone arrowhead. 'Conchs, clams and oysters, as well as an occasional sea turtle, were brought to the Indian' village in .canoes up the Suwannee River from the Gulf." Bullen pointed out that bone pins, shell tools, stone arrowheads aid parts of many clay vessels, remains .of industrial pursuits of the villag- ers, were also found during exca- vation.

Lack of proper staking means that you are reason- ably sure to have some wrecked and messy beds later in the sea- son. A heavy rain or wind storm is likely to knock over tall and heavy foliage plants which natu- rally have stems not sufficiently, sturdy to stand up under such cir- cumstances. Delphiniums are the first plants in the garden to show the need for staking. The heavy spikes of bloom on these stately perennials make them'singularly susceptible to de- structiqn by winds or heavy rains. Stake them before the buds start to open and save the beauty of the delphiniums. Gladiolus with heavy spikes of bloom are likely to need stakes. Lilies and iris of the taller types also need this assistance. Tall Af- rican and French marigolds are tipped over by wind or rain and become a jungle. Staking would have saved them. The first requisite of good staking is that the stakes should be strong and capable of holding up the plant, but 'as unobtrusive as possible. Green painted stakes are least con- spicuious. The cheapest and most efficient stakes are the bamboo canes "sold in varying )engths by dealers. They may be bought al- ready painted or in their natural col- or and, you can paint them your- self. They are strong and durable. ,Heavy. wire. stakes are least ob- trusive ,f all. especially when paint- ed green., Plants .can be tied ~to them /easily and held 'upright '.so that the tying cannot be distin- guished until viewed at close range., Set the stakes and tie 'the plants before they come into bloom. A good job of staking that willnot make the plant look stiff -andi ob- viously tied up cannot be done I-U STAK ,ACi STEM.

Get in a supply of stakes and give the plants known to need stakig .attention early in their ca- reer. The sooner staking is attend- .ed to, the less obtrusive will it be when the plant reaches the matur- ity. of its 'bloom. Lupton. The Homeward Trip Some time before daylight Fri- day morning the' newly married folks started for home, followed soon after by our pair of grays, without our knowledge or consent. They took it into their heads .to add their part of the fun, and it was not until midday that Mr. Mahon had recovered them and was ready' to start on our return. On our way back we stopped at Mr. George Patton's residence at the Eleven Mile Place. Ye scribe didn't enjoy the return trip very much because, having indulged too freely the previous day in branch water, his anatomy got into active commotion from cholera morbus, or something like that, and staid so till midnight. 'On our entrance into town, ow- ing .to the blinding effect of the electric light in. front of us, we rudely interrupted the slumbers of a small and innocent looking bo- vine that was quietly reposing in the middle of the street, and, after we had rolled him or her around and over a few times, he, or she, arose and shook the dust off him- self and decided, doubtless more in sorrow than in anger, that a wedding party is a tough proposi- tion to tackle at midnight. And now, Mr. Editor, having made a short story as long as your pa- tience will permit, we conclude by saying, "All's well that ends well." SEE?

Doubtless many graves have been obliterated by time. The beau- tiful shaft, marked the resting place of Geo.

In Good State of Preservation 'The slabs and shaft are in good state of' preservation, 'tho some of them have been chipped off at the top for mementoes. The vaults, however, have all been broken into or have fallen in, leaving human bones exposed to view. Memento cranks have no regard for anything, however sacred. After luncheon, we 'hitched up our teams and resumed our. efforts to keep up with our advance agent. En route we passed by the remains of the old town of St. Joseph, where\ there is.nothing now but the ground on which it formerly stood and a few piles of chimney bricks. Later in the afternoon we arri ved at the lighthouse kept by Mr. Lup- ton, at Yellow Bluff, or Beacon Hill. our destination. From the upper part of the light tower we ,could ,look out upon the beautiful scenery around on land and water. This is a splendid place:for a summer our ing. Cool breezes, delightful hath ing, fine fishing, successful court- ing and sound sleeping are ith- rules here. 'The Isbell and Hunter families occupy. cottages near the water- front- and have enjoyed its pleas- ures, to the'full this summer. Mr. Lupton and, family have recently moved into the large and commodi- ous lighthouse, which gives evi- dence of Mr. Hensler's skill as a carpenter. It is built upon high brick' piers and seems constructed not only for beauty, bitt for strength and utility. There is to.be a very large light within .the tower when the lens shall have arrived front Paris. The crescent-shaped beach infront of the Bluff is very beauti- ful, and the bay is delightful to look upon.
