Will Ask for an Injunction.

Albert Wright and w. X. Ze-
wadski left on the +. G.. & p.
train today for Orlando to petit
ton Judge Broome to grant an
Injunction restraining the county
commissioners from interfering
with the Stars contract for print
ing the delinquent tax list of Ma
rion county. It was aScertained
that the three new members,
Carney, Mcleod and Williamson,
had fully made up their minds to
came the Banner at their regular
meeting here on next Monday as
the organ in which to publish the
tax list, and, IN the absence of
Judge Hooker, the Stars attor-
neys were forced to apply to
Judge Broome for the iDju uaction.
The case Will be argued before
Judge Broome tomorrow morn
Ing. In addition to the able at
torneys from Ocala, the Star will
have the assistance Of some of
the best legal lights in Orlando.
Judge Broome is known all over
Florida as clear-headed and
just-minded jurist. He is thor
oughly up on the tax sale matter.
and the Star feels quite sure of
getting the injunction. We are
not informed as to who will repre-
sent the commissioners il this
case. 1t is rumored that the
Harris-Brumby paper syndicate
will take their chances on getting
the injunction dissolved upon the
return of Judge Hooker.

let the car run down the grade at
a terrific rate. Several years ago
Mr.. Smith was a resident of

day afternoon, accompanied by
the family and was laid to rest in
the old cemetery. The sympa-

Judge Hooker interviewed.

Tuesdays Atlanta Constitution
contained the following about
Judge Hooker, of Ocala:
Judge William A Hooker, of
| Florida, is in Atlanta, where he
has stopped over for a few days
alter his summer vacation.
"Hopes were never brighter, :"
he said, ''for the Democratic par
ty. We have no fear in Florida,
and will be all ready when the
time comes again" +"
Judge Hooker is one of the lead
Jog spirits, political and other
wise, in the state Of the Ever
GA des. He has resided there
since 1874, when he came from
Virginia. His political expert
ence has been varied. Entering
the legislature in 1877, he has
filled many positions of trust, and
the people have their eye on him
for high honors. In 1898 he was
appointed judge of the Fifth Ju-
dicial Circuit, this being the larg-
est and most important in the
state. 1t was in the anti-Chipley
caucus of the last legislature,
when the contest narrowed down
to Judge Hooker and S. r. NAL
lory, that judicial duties kept
Hooker away, but he lost the
nomination by only four votes.
He has a number of friends in
Atlanta, and has been delight
fully entertained during his stay
here. Metropolis.

Counterfeit Money.

While the Star man was in tax
collector Pooser's office yester-
day afternoon a man came in to
pay his taxes. He was a mer-
chant from a small town up the
road. He rendered Elmore Da-
wilson several silver dollars; Ell
more handed one Of them back
saying it was lead. The man
was astonished, he said he had
taken it in at his store and had
noticed nothing wrong with it
only that it was dark and APP
peared to be an old coin. The
counterfeit was perfect and had
the maker used silver at the pres
ent bullion value OF about 4Oc he
could have driven a good busi-
ness. In workmanship, even to the
most minute detail the design
was perfect; the weight, too, was
about right and only by the color
and tie ring which was not gen
uine could the fraud be told. -

OUR PEOPLE CONFER.
They Fill the Court House and are En-
tIusiastic for Another
E'Gala Day."

Agrecabiy to the announcement
made in the Evening Star of
Thursday, the largest audience
that ever convened IN the court
house on a similar errand assem-
bled to hear propositions and sug-
gcStiOnS and discuss their relation
10 getting up another gala day.
Promoter Chas. II. Campbell
called the meeting TO order and
was made chairman. with Jake
Israel as secretary. Chairman
Clmpbell then detailed his idea
Of what should constitute the lead
ing features Of the day, plans that
have been revolving in his level
headed business mind during the
past six or seven weeks and of
which several Of our largest mer-
chants were familiar.
Among those who gave express
sion to their views for another
gala day and who heartily coin
cidcd with those suggested by
Mr.. Campbell, were Messrs. Sid
X. Perry, Charles Peyser, w. K.
Xewadski and John Martin. AS
there was but one sentiment in
the house, and all in favor Of the
plan, the question was quickly de-
cided to assist Chairman G.. IL.
Campbell in every way pos
Sible. The chairman was instruct
ed to appoint a committee of nine,
including the professions, occupa-
tiOnS and industrial interests of
town and county, who are to act
with the chairman TO make all
needed arrangements for the
coming event including securing
the sinews of war. The details
and date will be given later.
The most pleasing feature of
the gathering was the hearty CO.
operation of all and unity Of pur-
pose to make the festival a day
worthy of remembrance. The
Star will be no laggard in giving
the event all the encouragement
and aid in its power, believing
iirmly in the sentiment that those
who will not strive to aid them
selves are not deserving, and new
er will succeed.
The music by our band was an
inspiration that told on those as
Sem5led. Let the procession
move.

Attractive Women.

Why is one woman attractive
and another not : The most ad-
mirable and attractive thing
about an attractive woman is her
womanliness. Everybody ad-
mireS a womanly woman. She
must have health, of course, be-
cause without it she would lose
the brightness Of her eyes, the
fullnesS of her checks and her
vivacity. Real health must mean
that a woman is really a woman.
That she is strong and perfect
in a sexual way, as well as in
every other. That she is capa-
bic Of performing perfectly the
duties of maternity. Some are
born with what is called "con-
stitutional weakness" Those
who do not enjoy perfect health,
need only take the proper pre-
cautions and the proper remedy
to become perfectly we'll and
strong. DR.. Pierce's Favorite
