Finance Asks a Few Questions.

To the Editor OF the Banner.
Now that municipal ownership of
the electric plant seems an assured
fact, the question of how to raise fumes
will be an important one. That bonds
will have to be issued there seems no
doubt, for our people at present would
not be willing to receive script for all
things necessary for its erection. es-
pecially is this true of things which
would have to be bought outside. And
so as bonds must be issued, why can
not they be issued in denominations
of say $50 and multliples thereof, and
open them for popular subscription.
In these denominations believe they
would all be taken up by citizens of
Marion county, for being of small de-
nominations they could be used as
money, and the interest feature would
keep them at par. 1t would also fur
nish safe deposit for the many sums
of money, accumulated and boarded
at home since the bursting of our
banks. The beneficient features of a
popular loan over foreign one is no.
ticeable by every one who has inves-
| tigated the two, and it would be of
great benefit here by increasing our
circulating medium at time when
money is so scarce, besides it will ed
ucate the people up to the fact that
the value of any country's money lies
in its power to tax the people, or the
stability of the government. One
thing certain, if Ocala's bonds are a
good investment for anyone they are
a good Investment for us. And if we
can save the 10 per cent usually sacri-
feed in selling bonds and besides in
crease the circulating medium in our
midst by the amount of the bonds is
sued, why not do it? If the Banner
wants to do something for the people
of Marion county, why not open list
and see whether or not these bonds
cannot be sold at home? The World
did this in the great bond issue of
| Growers time, and why not the Ban
ner in this county? Ten times the
present national debt of this country
would be taken by the people if offer
ed in bonds of small denominations,
and believe the same would be true
of Ocala bonds if the home people are
allowed to buy them in bonds of the
denominations of SIS or $50 each and
multiples thereof to suit the pur-
chaser. If done it would be benefit
to the county. What is the voice of
the people? Yours,
FINANCE.

Beard OF Health Meetinr.

A Aspeclal meeting of the city board
of health was called Monday night to
take action on the advisability of con-
demning car load of barrel material
from Montgomery, Ala, consigned TO
the Ocala branch of the Montgomery
Cooperage Company's works. After
a thorough examination of the facts
in the case and telegraphing to the
health inspectors at the Florida and
Alabama state line it was found that
the car had been properly fumigated
before entering the state. 1t was then
allowed to be unloaded.
Our efficient board of health is to be
commended for the prompt action
1T took i'll this case, showing that it is
ever on the alert as to the health of
the people over whom they have been
placed as guard. Ocalians may well
feel safe, as far as is in human power
to prevent, that no contagious disease
will enter her naturally healthy con-
fines.
The workman often eats his lunch
off the same bench Where he does his
work. The office man turns his desk
into dining table. Neither gets the
out Of doors exercise he needs, neither
takes the proper time for eating. 1t
is small wonder that the digestion of
both gets out of order. In such cases
DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets come to
their assistance by aiding nature in
taking care of the food.
The cause Of nine-tenths of the sick
ness of the world is constipation.
From this one cause come Indigestion !;
disorders of the stomach, liver and
kidneys; billiousness, headache, flatu-
leuce, heartburn, impurity of the blood
and the serious complications that
follow. To begin with, constipation is
a little thing, and a little thing will
cure it. The pheasant Pellets" are
tiny, sugar-coated grauuies. They will
perfectly cure the worst case of consti-
patton and Indigestion. IF the drug
gist tries to sell you some other pin that
pays him greater profit, just think of
what will best pay you.

Something to Know.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for rest0r-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomch, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs in
throwing oil impurities in the blood.
Electric Btters improves the appetite,
aids digestion, and is pronounced by
those who have tried it as the very
best blood purifier and nerve tonic.

RALEIGH MALE ACADEMY.

The new catalogue of the Raleigh Male
Academy has just been issued. This in
stitution is designed mainly to afford
facilities for higher course Of instruc-
ton than is provided for in our public
schools, and to give systematic training
in the fundamental and higher English
branches, and in those subjects required.
in addition to these, for admission to the
best colleges and schools of science. The
school is strictly an academy, it's sphere
and influence lying between the primary
school and the college. The students are
boys who have acquired some informa-
ton of an elementary character, and
young men preparing for a more extend
ed education.
The course of instruction is intended
to give boys and young men a thorough
educational training, whether ais a pre-
paration for any of the higher institu-
tfOns of learning in North Carolina and
those of similar character elsewhere,
or to prepare them for the active pur-
suits and responsibilities of life.
The principal, Mr.. Hugh MOrsOn, has
the endorsement of the University of Vir-
ginia, of which he is a graduate, and has
been associate principal ever since the
organization of his school in 1873. Five
of the practicing physicians of Raleigh,
and nine members of her bar, are former
pupils OF his, whilD numbers distinguish
ed in both professions are located at 9TH
er points in the State or elsewhere. The
school is, besides, represented by more
than two hundred Of the successful bust
ness men, clerks and mechanics of the

LIFE CONVICT PARDONED.

Gov. Russell yesterday granted par
don to a fe-convict-RObert J. Willis, a
white man, convicted eight years ago in
Buncombe county, for burglary. 1t seems
to have been rather a peculiar case. The
crime was committed when Wills was q
boy and he robbed man whom he
claimed owed him 800 He was at first
condemned to be hanged then his sent
ence was committed to life imprisonment,
and now he has been pardoned. Maj.
Rollins, of Asheville, has interested him
self very much in the case and it was
through his influence that the pardon
was granted.

TOO MUCH SUNDAY SELLING.
a New Ordinance in Regard to 1t to be
Proposed Friday Night.

The ordinance in regard to selling
goods on Sunday, proposed by Alderman
Parish at the last meeting of the Board,
but voted down, will again be presented
at the meeting next Friday night. 1t
prohibits trafficking in anything what
ever, except medicine, on the Sabbath
day, and has been endorsed by the Taber-
nacle church, and a committee appointed
to urge its passage This committee CON
sists of w. c. Douglass y. b. Brougbton
and +. NJ. Lamkn.
There can he no question but that the
Sunday selling business has been al
lowed, under the present law, to go too
far. 1t is equally as true that we can now
go too far the other way. Laws that are
too stringent defeat themselves. Any
new ordinance on this subject, and one
is very badly needed, should permit the
selling, not only of medicine, but Of ice
also. There are many poor people in the
city who cannot afford to buy ice on Sat
urday night to keep over Sunday, so
great is the waste and so poor are their
facilities for keeping it. BY all means let
the ice cellars be kept open along with
the drug stores.

A CONSTABLE DID 1T
GAVE HIM A FLESH WOUND IN
HIS HIP.
AND He IS NOW IN THE HOSPITAL
He Was Leaving Town With May Lucas. the
Female Tramp, When They Were -. -
%3 Arrested by Mr., Pollard 44z&ss8
AT Mnfhnd -r~"
At Method.

Another man was yesterday shot by
an officer. This time he was not resist
ing arrest, but trying to escape after be-
ing arrested.
Lonnie Rogers, a white man about
town, was the unfortunate this time and
Constable Pollard, of Method. was the
one who did the shooting. 1t occurred
yesterday afternoon.
1t seems that the female hobo. Nav
Lucas, did not go away, as she promised
the Mayor she would, but has been stay
ing in and around Raleigh. Rogers, who
is said to be rather "a tough nut" him
self, though a married man, fell i'm with
her somewhere, and they have become
quite good friends. Yesterday afternoon
they were at Pullen Park, having a
good time. This good time soon became
| disorderly conduct, and so disOrderly
that the keeper of the park ordered them
to leave. They refused to do so, ours
ing the keeper for his trouble. He there
upon telephoned for a policeman, and
they left, going down the railroad to-
ward Method.
When Officer Gates reached the parl
the situation was explained to him and
he returned at once and reported t.
Chief Norwood, who telephOned t.
Method to have an officer arrest the
couple if they came there. They had
ALREADY reached there and Constable Pol.
lard waited on them at once They sub.
mitted quietly enough, then Rogers start
ed to run away. The officer caught him
by the coat, but he shed this and kept
running. Pollard called to him to stop; he
only ran faster. Pollard pulled his gun
and fired. Rogers fell with a severe
flesh wound in his hip.
Soon after this Chief Norwood and Of
ficer Gates arrived and brought the pair
and tough-looking couple they were
back to the city. The Lucas woman was
locked up in cell in the station house
and Rogers was taken to the hospital.
An examination of his wound by DR.
j. W. McGhee, Jr., the city physician
showed that it was nothing serious
only flesh wound about two inches be-
low the hip joint. It was made by a So
calibre pistol ball, which lodged in the
flesh. Unless erysipelas or blood poison.
ing sets in there can nothing serious
come from the wound.
Both the man and the woman will
probably be sent to the roads for g
good, long term. Rogers has been there
before, and it is more than probable
that it will not be am entirely new ex.
perience to the woman.

Oneida Cotton Mills.
About two and half years ago my
little boy about years, and my little
girl about 2 years, each had an enlarge
ment of the glands about the ears. The
trouble appearing on each about the
same time. l was inclined to think it
humps, but soon observing to the con-
trary, l called in the doctor, who said
the trouble came from colds, prescribing
accordingly, yet the swelling continued
to grow, until each had to hold for the
lance, the little boy having been lanced
in three places and at three times, his
little face at times looking quite alarm
ing. The nature of the trouble was term
ed one thing by one and another thing
by another. This, however, did not con-
Germ me, as | was looking for cure, and
Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy having been
called to my attention so often and SO
favorably, ! dropped the treatment from
the doctor and commenced to use Mrs.
Persons Remedy. To say that the re-
suits obtained have been satisfactory is
putting it in mild terms, the children,
and especially the little boy, being en-
tirely well, yet wearing scars that will
ever keep fresh in my memory the merit
of Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy.
