The Ocala kindergarten

This association convened in
regular bi-monthly session in the
building on Buckalew Heights
on Tuesday afternoon in goodly
numbers, Miss Annie Sharp pre-
siding. DR.. w. Y. Newsom was
down for a lecture on "Nentila-
tion,' but having been uneXpect-
edly called away, was forced to
disappoint his fair auditors, which
was intensified, because this was
the second appointment which
urgent professional duties COM
PEELED him to pass. Mrs. Hendon
read a humorous poem and Miss
Annie Sharp read extracts from
u GRAINED Mother" which were
highly suggestive. The clrculat-
ing library connected with the
school was then discussed and
the association congratulated
themselves on the excellent pro-
gress made along this line. The
next meeting will be held at the
resident Of Mrs. r. l.. Anderson,
Feb. %, on which occasion the
association will discuss the i'm
portant anC appropriate question,
"Our Children and our County,"
The meeting was very pleasant
and profitable one to the mothers
and friends present. The school
is in a flourishing condition and
doinga splendid work, for which
the talented teachers, the Misses
Sharp and Miss May Alfred, are
receiving many encomiums.

Needs Help

Mr.. S. d. Smith, who is one Of
the most successful farmers of
Marion county, was in town yes
terday seeking information about
securing a pension. Mr.. S. is an
old Confederate veteran who, 81
years ago, received q wound n
his left leg near the ankle, which
has at different times incaps- citat-
ed him to work. For several
months he has been unable to
work, being compelled to use
crutches to get around, and as he
is the sole support of his family,
it is very trying on him. He be-
lieves as long as man can shoe
his own row. he should not apply
for help, but now that he is help
less and likely to remain SO, he
expected assistance from the
state and the Star trusts he will
get it.

Milton F. Hood on Dogs

The above named gentleman,
nots SO many years ago, was an
honored citizen of Lake Weir and
Ocala. At the former place he
grew oranges and at the latter
place he strobe the tripod and
wrote many excellent editorials
for the Free Press and Baptist
Witness, of which papers be was
editor. Later on he practiced
law and held the scales of justice
in the Ocala district. Since then
he has gone back to Georgia and
now IS numbered among the dis
tinguiShed legal lights Of Hamil-
ton, the county seat of Harris
county. Lately he wrote a very
suggestive communication to the
Atlanta Journal about dogs. He
said his county had ESQ., dogs,
avera ging two to a family. They
had positively become a nuisance
and a menace. He said a dog
would consu"e a bushci Of corn
a month, converted into bread.
This was equivalent to 10000
bushels a year, enough to cducate
all the children of the county. AS
the dogs consume more than they
save and are the only animal per-
mitted to depredate, Mr.. Hood
insists they should be regulated

SCROFULA
It is Foul 8!ood's ADVERTISE
ment
But 1t is Soon Cured by Hoods
SarSapariiia.

Yes, Scrofula, il anything, may be called
the advertisement Of foul blood. 1t IS the
scourge Of the world defensive, painful,
facilitating, stubborn and well nigh
unendura BILE.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
faint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, SO far as We
know, has almost invariably succeeded -
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years Of faint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read this:
"My daughter was afflicted with i'm
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilIa and / began giving the girlthis med
icine The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking few bottles.
She has had no symptoms of scrofula
sores since that time" MARIETTA M.

This is made up of tax Of IL per cent
on 10000 worth OF personal property con-
sisting of the ordinary machinery of a
telephone service. This amounts to $3.50
year. The company owns and pays taxes
on lot -. square DID. SIC 14th street, as
sessed at $1,4I3. the taxes amounting to
s11213.
AS compared with this exceedingly low
amount of taxation stands the exclusive
franchise enjoyed by the company. the
fruits of which amount to many thousa ms
of dollars profit yearly. Although the
street railroad corporations are not taxed
according to their dues. in the minds OF
many citizens and some legislators. they
all pay ten or twelve times as heavily as
does the telephone company. There is In
fact proportion whatever between the
public assessments on the telephone COM
pany and the value of Its charter.
In further comparison with the meager
amount OF taxes annually paid Is the
amount paid by the District government for
telephone service. The District maintains
DIS sets of telephones corrected with the
Districts own wires. for which 1t pays
s. a set per year. amounting to S1.lW. 1t
also uses twenty-scven sets connected with
the exchange, which, at so year, cost
$3.50. One set costs the District $f', an
other set, $3.50; two sets. s125 each, and
in addition the District pays $500 for
general exchange service and SO a year for
a special bell service, making grand
total paid by the District government to
the telephone company of SS.248.jO.

The Speakers Opposition to Hawaiian
Annexation Unchanged.
1 PUBLICATION GROSSLY FALSE
Friends Of the Treaty Believe They
Have Enough Votes.
PROSPECT ENCOU TRACING

the story published in a number of pa
pers this morning that Speaker Reed had
changed his attitude toward the annexatio
Of Hawaii and would use his influence to
hurry the annexation through by legisla-
ton, In order to hasten The hour of the ad-
tournment Of Congress, is absurdly false.
Mr.. Reeds opposition to annexation is well
known and is based upon his personal Judg
ment.
AS far as can be learned, he has not In
any way tried to ufe the power of his po-
sition as Speaker to defeat the treaty now
under consideration in the Senate. nor to
prepare the way for the defeat of legisla-
ton to accomplish annexation should it be
necessary to resort to that to carry cut
the policy Of the administration. His OPP
position has been passive, but his opinion
is fixed
Unless the underlying motive of the pub
LEGATION is to excite the Speaker to active
opposition, it can be regarded only as idle
gossip. suggested by an unoccupied mind
The statement may be made with absolute
certainty that Mr.. Reed has not changed
his mind with respect to the annexation
treaty. He does not believe in annexation,
and, if called upon to vote on the question.
would undoubtedly, vote against it, but
he Is not a factor of the opposition. The
administration favors annexation; a large
ton: Mr.. Reed does not. That is all there
Is in the matter in respect to the Speakers
position.
The statement that he has changed his
view of thu question is calculated merely
to invite controversy and resentment, and
Is too readily controverted to be of any
service to the cause of annexation. The
assumption, therefore, Is that SOM where
behind the source Of information on which
the publication depended was desire to
excite Mr.. Reed to an active opposition, in
stead of the passive attitude he occupies.
The publication was probably made i'll good
faith, but the original source Of informa-
ton was in error and is subject 20 the sUs
piciOn of the friends of annexation.
The belief of the advocates of annexa-
ton is that they will have votes enough
in the Senate to ratify the treaty. If they
should fail in this they are sure of large
majority in both houses for such legisla-
ton as may be necessary to accomplish
what is contemplated by the treaty. 1t is
not thought that Mr. Reed would try to
use the mower of his position to prevent
this legislation.
Another question that has been raised Is
as to the status of Japanese now in Ha-
.,o-44- - ,ney ~ot.4d
become citizens of the United States
The fact is that they would have the
same opportunity after annexation TO be-
come citizens that they have nov and
that all Japanese now have to become cit-
citizen or subject of Japan coming to this
country. do the subjects of other coun-
tries, and becoming citizens of this country
under the naturalization laws. The annex
alton of Hawaii will not affect this ques
ton.
