shape as to enable the county
commissioners to lower the price.
We made an open bid to do it for
SO per cent. less than the former
price. We then did our utmost
to have the legislature pass a bill
authorizing the county commits
sioners to let this printing to the
lowest responsible bidder but that
was defeated last week by only
one vote. Had the Mail and Elk
press used it's influence at the
proper time in the proper direc-
ton it might have turned that
one vote in favor of a change in
the law. To come in now after
the fight is over is like closing
the stable door after the horse
has been stolen. The Star would
gladly have accepted less than
the price specified and did all in
our power to compel the commits
sioners and state comptroller to
pay us less but to no purpose.
They have kindly given us the
work and are determined to make
us take about double the amount
we had the courage to ask for.
We are law-abiding citizens.

Gadsden is the county noted
for the cultivation of tobacco for
several years. 1t may be only a
coincidence, but we happen to
notice that it's delinquent tax list
is contained in single column and
carries the names of only 119
property owners, including the
unknown. If tobacco and diversi-
fled industry have done SO much
for Gadsden, it is probable that
the same influences would very
materially help out all the other
counties that will try them. Let
us all go in for tobacco and re-
duced volume of unpaid taxes

Over in Ocala the democrats
held an Indignation meeting and
severely criticised the board of
county commissioners for giving
the sOcala Star the delinquent
tax list. The commissioners did
the proper thing. The other
Ocala papers have been publish
ing the tax list for years and it
was eminently proper that it
should rotate among the papers.
Besides the Star is a true expo
nent of democratic principles and
deserved the recognition of the
'powers that be. Tampa

The delinquent tax list of Ma
rion county for 1895, as published
in October and November of last
year in the Ocala Banner and Ma
rion Free Press, was twenty-five
double columns, 212 lines to a
column, at 40 cents a line would
be $1O9.S0 a column, twenty-five
times $1O8.SO would be S2,72O. 40.
This generally is the price paid
for the delinquent tax list of Ma
rion county. For the past few
years the cry of our people has
been a reduction in the taxes, a
reduction in wages, and in fact a
reduction in everything, that had
to come out of the tax payer,
which is justly correct and should
have been done. We have done
our duty, and our best to save as
much as possible for these tax
payers. But has our efforts been
appreciated by those in high au-
thority? No! On Monday, May
3rd, 1897, we submitted a bid,
backed by a guarantee company
of millions in wealth, offering to
do the work above referred to,
that cost our people 40 cents a
line, for Is cents line. Now let's
see how much we would have
saved, had our proposition been
accepted, allowing that the list
would be the same this year as
that of last, which, however, &C
cording to the collectors books
now, would be much more. At
fifteen cents a line we would have
saved the tax payers the sum of
$1,95O.45.-Mail and Express.
The efforts of our contempor-
airy to lower the cost of this tax
sale printing are certainly COM
mendable, but he is a little late
in the day. In his article he un-
justly accuses the board Of coun-
ty commissioners of keeping up
the price. According to all re-
cent decisions on the question
they have nothing whatever to
do with the price. That is q mat
ter Of Legislative enactment. For
the past two months the Star
has been making strenuous ef-
forts to put this matter in such

Hoods Sarsaparilla is known to possess

in the drill hall, on NJ street, between
First street and New lersev avenue.

school, in which there will be three full
companies during the coming scholaS-
tic wear.
The examinations were he'd by the
military committee, consisting of Prof.
Montgomery and Capt. Arthur Brooks,
two weeks ago, but the candidates all
passed such creditable examinations
that the marks were very close, and
considerable time was necessary in or
der to determine the winners. 1t was
the original intention Of the committee
to announce the new officers Friday OF
last week; but the companies had been
dismissed before successful candidates
had been determined.
Those who will wear the shoulder

HARDSHIP ON CHILDREN.

HARDSHIP ON CHILDREN.
Editor of the BEE:
AS the columns in your paper APP
pears to be open for the discussion of
the management of our ColOred public
schools, and the many Determinations
ETC., | desire to call attention to the
newly-appointed school trustees the
injustice TO the parents of children at
tending schools west of Rock Greek,
where there are two school buildings,
the Wormley and Phillips respectively,
with about eight or nine hundred chill
dren attending. These schools are
graded from the first to the seventh
grade only, which is a great injustice
and hardship to the pupils promoted
to the eighth grade, compelling them
to walk from three 10 four miles daily
TO attend the eighth grade school.
There can be no reasonable excuse
for not having an eighth grade school
in Georgetown, as the record will show
that there are from twenty to thirty
pupils yearly transferred to the eighth
grade. Therefore, we would ask these
honorable gentlemen to see to it that
we obtain an eighth grade school west
of Rock Creek.
Respectfully, J. L. 1.

always put their social pets in. There
was a discussion had of the appoint

this social ring, and Miss Lucy Moten
was the only lady present who defend

The friends of Miss Cook had been

was cut and dried to place Miss Cook
in. The defeat of Miss Cook was a
blow that almost killed father"
