Wet or Dry

The count of the registration
books has been made. The dry
side has this tally Of the result:
There were on the petition GGl
names undisputed and 301 names
which were objected to because
the slgner Of the petition wrote
his name Claude O. Smith, and
on the registration books il is G..
o. Smith, etc. The total IS 1862
names, which, Mr.. Zewadski
says, Is more than the number Of
names on a petition required by
law to call a wet and dry cleo
ton. The wet people, instead of
making a summary of the tally
and settling that point, have
called on Clerk Sistrunk to testify
as to the date of calling cleo
tiOnS, etc.
The defence has asked and
secured q continuance of the
case until Monday for the pur-
pose Of receiving and submitting
to the court the affidavit Of Mr..
Thomas Wright Of Jacksonville,
a citizen of Lake Weir when the
petition was circulated-that he
did not sign said petition or
authorize another to sign it for
him. The defence intimated it
had others. The case is closed as
to all other witnesses.

From DR.. Bitch

EDITOR STAR: Our community
IS justly proud of its public
school. 1t has been under the
able mana cement of Prof. j. O..
Stroller for the past six years.
1t has an attendance of over
forty and the children are all
making fine progress in their
studies. The patrons and pupils
gave Professor Stroller and his
wife an agreeable surprise in the
way of an elegant supper during
Christmas week. There were
about SiXty-five persons who
gathered at their home last Fri
day afternoon and each family
brought an article of food. A
long table was improvised in the
yard and 1t was soon loaded with
good things to eat. After all
had partaken Of the bountiful
spread, Professor Stroller made
one OF his best speeches. His
heart was full of love for his
pupils and his eloquent words
made a deep and lasting impress
sion upon all present. 1t was
truly an enjoyable occasion and
showed in what high esteem Pro
fesSor StroZler is held by our
entire community. He has done
more to elevate the standard of
intelligence and morality among
our young people than any
teacher we have ever had. He
is not only a competent, pains
taking teacher, but valuable
and public spirited citizen and
Jealous Christian. We congratu-
late ourselves upon having such
a man to preside over our school
and train our children.
Our little church is progressing
Under the pastoral charge of Rev.
j. G. Porter, who breaches for
US every first Sunday in each
month. The work on our new
house Of worship IS being pushed
and we hope. TO have it ready for
use in about sixty days. 1t will
be a neat structure and a fitting
monument to the good taste and
liberality of our people.

SCARCITY OF PAPER.
There Is Pressing Demand In Eng

There Is Pressing Demand I'm Eng
land for News.
NEW YORK, Dec. 4-Hugh J. CHS
holm, president of the International Pa
per company, says:
There is no doubt that a shortage in
the paper supply exists in England, and
serious shortage, too, but I doubt If
there is a famine in paper such as is used
by newspapers. Not more than 500 tons of
paper is used daily IN all England for
newspapers. New York alone uses as
much as that each day. But even when
there is an unusual demand for paper of
that kind in England and 100 or $50 tons
more day are called for, the increased
demand Is severely felt. With continued
droughts in Norway and Sweden. and a
lessened supply from Germany, there can
be no doubt that newspapers in England
will find themselves In serious predi a
ment regarding their paper supply. This
is rendered all the more alarming because
we can send them no paper from the
United States. Charity begins at home.
and we need all we can produce here to
supply the home market. l do not saw
that there is any prospect OF a famine
OF newspaper in thfs country, but the
situation here is serious though not
alarming. 1t is quite likely that the price
of paper of all kinds will increase In the
near future"
