Henry George Dead.

The startling news reached
OCala this morning through the
Jacksonville Metropolis and
Tampa Daily Times, two evening
papers of yesterday, that Henry
George, the leader of the Jeffer-
sonian Democracy in the Greater
New York mayoralty contest,
had died suddenly yesterday
morning at his New York hotel
Of apopleXy. Over work was
evidently the cause Of his sudden
demise. The previous evening
he had addressed three immense
political gatherings in different
parts of the Greater Metropolis,
in fact doing herculean work for
his election ever since the
campaign began, which proved
too great strain on his system.
Mrs. George was awakened by
IllS CclIN ulSlNC lIloNcilclU, oOuS III
a doctor, but all medical aid was
in vain.
DR.. McGlynn said George died
like Lincoln, after a great strug-
gle for human liberty. Georges S
adhcrentS really believed had he
lived, he would have been elected
mayor OF Greater New York
next Tuesday.
His death has caused great d.
versity of opinions as to the re-
suit on the election.
1t is generally expressed that
Seth Low, the citizens candidate,
will receive the greater por.
tion of the votes that would have
gone to George, and may be this
vote will elect him.
The leaders Of Henry George
party, however, will rally from
the shock caused by his death:
and insist that Henry George
Jr., take his fathers place or
the ticket, and this sentiment is
echoed from all parts Of the city
The death of George will only
intensity the speculations anc
probable result Of the election O
mayor Of Greater New York.

A RESULT OF HUSTLiNG.
Providence Helps These Who Help
Themselves.

We know of q case in point.
A citizen of Ocala, owing to gen.
eral depression found that his
business failed to give him and
his family a living. He worried
AMI fretted over the apparent
hard lines that had struck him
conditions were letting desper-
ate; something had to be done
the meal in the bin was running
low and the man saw no other
recourse or resource, than to woo
mother earth.
He confided his condition to a
friend, who had plenty of land
and "a horse he could spare now
and then. These be offered to
the needy and willing man, who
set to work and during the sum-
mer By diligent labor, grew forty
bushels of corn, sixty Of sweet
potatoes ana 100 bushels of pin
dars, with pindar vines sufficient
to feed his COW until another sea-
son. The party is greatly en-
coura ged and says he can sell the
pindars for 81 a bushel, and with
this money can buy horse, and
with health is willing to take his
chances in keeping out of the
poor house.
This is the kind of pluck and
determination to show i'm a great
emergency, and shows that
what was in the man was GER
tain to come to the surface, when
confronted with a trying ordeal

Sc0Oping i'm the Sand.

Everybody has heard and read
about the Ocala and Blue River
Phosphate company. The local
papers in the past, have had
columns and columns about this
million capitalized organization,
their tens of thousands Of acres
Of unequalled phosphate lands
filed with the highest grade rock
known TO buyers Of the product
and the splendid business men
who controlled its destiny and
were whooping it on to glory and
the output in profits of untold
millions. Now what: It's for
tunes went from bad to worse
{ and those who had put their good
money into it, others even staEed
their all on the probable profits
to come from their investment,
have seen it's fortunes sink lower
and lower and their contributions
vanishing into thin air, turned
over what was left, to the French
Phosphate company, who issued
bonds to raise funds to operate
the mines, when the interest was
defaulted, and now comes the
SAD news that the holders of the
bonds on which interest was de-
faulted, are taking legal steps to
foreclose on the company lands
and the attorneys, Messrs. An
derson & Hooker, viii publish
foreclosure proceedings in
the papers of Suwannee,
Hamilton, Levy and Citrus coun-
ties, which will cover 10000 acres
and fill the publishers of said pa
pers with such thrill of gladness
that has not touched their heart
strings in all the years Of their
editorial experience, and when the
day Of payment comes, their
pocket books will receive even a
greater shock.
In this connection the Star might
inquire what was the cause of
this failure and loss Of invested
capital? Did the Mckinley or
Wilson bill bring about this la
menta bic failure? or was it the
deteriation of silver bullion that
caused the shrinkage CT expectant
profits TO fade away into vapor-
ing space, or did the Napoleons
of finance and their Industrial
generals for once misjudge the
situation and bring ruin, desola-
ton, loss and misery, when the
opposites were predicted and ex-
pected' Or was it the discovery
OF phosphate In Algiers? Such
results are to be deploled, and in
their way have consuming and
destroying power in effect on a
community almost equal to
wrecked banks, and ere worthy
, Of our closest study, SO that
"cause and effect may be prop.
erly determined.

Phosphate Notes.

We learn from the Manufac-
lures Record, Baltimore that
the demand for phosphate rock is
limited. In South Carolina ship
ments to domestic ports are i'm
proving, and the market is nom-
inally steady with no change in
values. The development in the
Florida phosphate belt is being
conducted with considerab bic vigor
and activity, and shipments from
the ports for the current month
will be about an average. The
demand for the moment for both
pebble and land rock is good, and
several companies will make some
heavy shipments this month.
Prices continue firm, especially
for pebble rock, and stocks are
not allowed to accumulate, but
are generally sold when mined.
In the local markets there are no
charters to load phosphate re-
ported. Business during the week
in New York has been dull, anG
no phosphate vessels are re-
ported taken.
The managers Of the Joint
Traffic Association at a recent
meeting in New York made rate
of $40 per gross ton on, phos-
phate rock from Mt. Pleasant,
Tenn, to Baltimore AID Balti-
more points.
Gable a0vices were received in
in New York last week from the
west coast Of South America
stating that the Salar del Car
men, an Independent nitrate, fac
tory had begun operations, and
that as a result the combination
was virtually at an end. Lowec
prices are anticipated as the re-
suit of the market.
The amount of royalty received
by the state of South Carolina on
phosphate rock for nine month, :,
of the present year was $50, 1S6.
