Florida Popuiists Divided Bctwccn Henry
George and seth Low.

To rnE EnrroR OF THE srx-Sir: You would he
surprised to see the interest that Is taken in the com.
ing New York election throughout the South. The
possibility ~ the election Of George or Low has given
the Populists and silverit"s renewed hope. and the
subject Is one of Amos; constant discussion among
the people. Here IN Florida the preference seems to
be with George. although there are many who claim
that on account OF his alleged respectability the elec-
tion OF Low would strengthen them more. In either
case the result would be disastrous and make It
necessary to fight the sound currency question over
again. b. S. II.

in which. unlike most Southerners. he took no active
part. In the year 1872, when Democratic prospects
were almost al their lowest ebb. Mr.. Jones embarked
actively in Florida politics, running as a candidate
for Congress in the Pensacola district. He was 10

Wanted to Lynch Him.

Sheriff Hodge returned last
night from Willacoochee, Ga.,
where he took Zach Holmes who
was arrested in Ocala several
weeks ago. Holmes killed his en-
ployer, j. n. Bitch, in 1898.
When Mr.. Hodge and his pris-
oner arrived at Willacoochee a
big crowd had assembled and
threats of lynching were rife.
The village boasts only a GALA
boose. MIR. Hodge wanted to take
his prisoner eighteen miles by
buggy to the county seat and jail.
Mr.. Carter, a former partner of
Mr.. Bitch, warned the sheriff
that Holmes might be lynched on
the way. Mr.. Hodge assured
him he was able to protect his
man. 1t was finally decided tO
take him to Waycross where he
was locked up awaiting the arri.
val of the Coffee county sheriff,
who failed to meet Mr.. Hodge as
appoited at Willacoochee.
Sheriff Hodge arrested Oscar
Smith, colored, today who was
trying to escape after robbing
VIM. James, the barber, and
breaking into the city market last
night. Judge Crawford fined him
$40 for petty larceny.

A business man is not the mcst
patient creature in the world. He
cannot wait to hear any long
drawn-out story of the cause of
his ailment. He doesn't care two
straws about a fine spun theory
of how he should treat himself.
He may be predisposed to
scrofula, or consumption. "That, :"
he will tell you "has nothing to
do with the case" He wants to
be well. If he can be cured, write
out a prescription and send in
your bill. So, here's the first
part of the proposition. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is a microbe hunter and killer.
Many persons of scrofulous blood,
encourage the breaking out of I'M
slightly sores, to prevent the d.
sease going to the lungs. There
is no need of this state of dread
and discomfort. Purify the blood.
It can be done. "Gclden Medi-
cal Discovery, will cure os per
cent. of all consumptive cases,
also of all other lingering bron-
chial, throat and lung diseases.

The CAKE WALK A SUCCESS
The Ocala Rifles Furnish for Our Cit.
iZens One OF the Most Pleasant
Evenings of the Season.

Scmbled IN the brilliantly lighted
armory on Fort King avenue last
evening TO witness the cake walk
given by the Ocala Rifles, and if
they sought diversion from their
cares they surely found a panacea,
for the verdict of all was that the
affair was one of the liveliest and
best executed that has ever taken
place in town.
The eight couples. all in typical
negro costumes, with their faces
BACKED and made up IN perfect
d2rky style, were resplendent in
costumes, some of which wei cal
culated to stir the green monster
in the hearts of those they imper-
SOnated
Just before o'clock and after
preliminary selection from the
ever popular Metropolitan band,
the walkers filed in two by two
amid storm of applause and be-
gan the beautiful and graceful
figures of the march. Perfect
time was kept but some levity
was indulged in by the younger
and more frivolous members.
Round and round, back and forth
they marched, the dusky maidens
leaning on the arm of their stall
wart partners amid the laughter
and cheers Of the spectators.
Later on when the judges,
Mcssrs. Davis, Gerig and Afford,
took their places and the walkers
passed in review, the frolicsome
members were at disadvantage
and rapidly were separated and
told to go and walk no more.
Soon, all too soon for the pleas
ure OF the crowd, there were only
three couples left to make the
rounds and later only two, Frank
Bugbee and Miss Arrabella Sa-
mantha Northcott, alias Prof r.
l.. Northcott, and Ralph Birdsey
and Miss Lucinda Jemima Haley,
alias Ed. Haley. These four
walked In the straight and mar
row way, and in the case of Mr..
Blrdsey and partner, very up
rightly, but for Miss Haley's ina
bility to smile upon Miss Mona
Hitler, many think those four
would have been there yet. But
this smile cost the couple the cake
and out they went. The judges
awarded it to Mr.. Bugbee and
partner.
Each and every character was
q success, some of the most nota-
BILE ones being Ralph Birdsey, as
the old chicken loving and church
going deacon, and his little derby,
oh, my, Charlie Lloyd, the howl
ing swell, Capt Davidson as a
chef and misses" Haley, North
Cott, Crossett, Taylor, Reardon
and Liddon. One Of the great
est features was the song spe-
cialty by Messrs. VanEchop and
Chaille, "The Tuckertown
Swells." AS swells of highly
colorcd persuasion they were i'm
mcnse and as songsters, better.
They handled themselves with
ease and grace and were raptur-
ously encored, responding with
another song equally as good,
and at the closing Of the last
song Prof. Northcott appeared
on the scene in his feminine at
tire and convulsed the specta tors
with a brilliantly executed spe-
cialty dance, as only the pro-
fessOr can.
The band then played several
more of their beautiful pieces and
the dance began, most of the
spectators remaining until sever
al of the pretty dances were fin
ished. In this connection it is
we'll to mention that Ocala has
many graceful dancers among
both sexes.
In a nutshell, the cake walk
was great success financially

ECONOMICAL COMMISSIONERS.
They Rebuke the Extravaganza of
County Clerk Sistrunk.


Cured before the county commits
sioners, which we fear will not
find a place in the official minutes.
The board was auditing bills. 1t
came across that Of Clerk Sis
trunks for services during court
weeks. It was itemized as are all
his bills. One of them read for
keeping record of jurors and wit
nesses and their pay and making
out bills for the same, for four
weeks, at $40 per week-$4O.
William Allen remarked in
a kind Of a deprecatory way
that Sim, to use the chaste and
classic language OF the chief of
the Ocala newspaper syndicate,
was "puiling one of the county's
bifurcated appendages." That
Dan Miller had never presented
such a bill. The reader will please
remember that D. A. Miller, a
former clerk of the court, was a
model official, efficient, honorable,
honest, looked upon as a model
man and officer, and any thing
he did was akin to law. AS the
present incumbent was Mr.. Mil
ler's pupil, such recklessnesS
shocked the economical instincts
of the staid and pious member
from Mcintosh. To confirm his
opinion in the matter, Ned Will
hanson of the "Big Scrub"
voiced Williams sentiments and
Clerk Sistrunk was called on to
explain. He stated that Mr.. Mil
ler had charged $50 per week for
the same service. That when
General Bullock was clerk he
charged So per week. If he had
followed the law and taken what
it allowed for such work the price
would have been fully $25, but as
times were hard and the tax pay
ers pressed, he would simply
charge the county what the work
cost him.
The explanation stunned Allen
and Williamson, and to let them
selves down easy, they remarked
that they could not just then
recall the facts stated, so the bill
was allowed.
The clerk, to set all doubts at
rest and to drive conviction home
to the objecting members, pro-
duced Mr.. Miller's bills for SINH
lar work. The objectors then ad-
mitted they had forgotten, show
Ing how easily some facts leave
the mind and how treacherous
our memory proves at times.
Chairman Carney took no hand
in this retrenchment and reform
episode, nor did Mcleod move a
vote of thanks be spread on the
minutes to an official who had
rendered a bill for only one-third
of the amount he could have col
lected by falling back on the
statutes. Such official acts are
worthy of recognition, and the
Star takes pleasure in presenting
| them

Premature Judgment on Democracy.
(The Outlook)

Perhaps the most striking illustration
of the tendency to pass judgment on move
ments which are only half understood
which the present time affords is the often
repeated attempt to sum up and make
final appraisement of modern democracy,
that worldwide movement in which all
contemporary civilized peoples are in
volved, and which is swiftly revolution
izing the political and social organization
of society. 1t is wise to point out dangers,
to note signs of progress, from time to
time; but it is idle to attempt to sum up
and pass judgment upon the democratic
government at this stage of its Develop
ment; it may be possible to sum up it's
total results three centuries hence; it is
impossible to sum them up today. No
man knows what they are. 1t is our work
to observe, to study, to act in accordance
with eternal laws; it is not ours to sit in
judgment on matters which we do not I'M
derstand The judgment of man on move
ments which are not as yet half revealed
to them afford material for the satirist,
but not for the optimist. There is good
hope, however, that as we grow more in
telligent we shall grow more modest and
patient we shall cease asking God to give
an account of himself at the end of every
decade.
