ARKANSAS STATE NEWS.
Anti. Saloon League

Edward A. Tabor, state superintend.
ent of the Arkansas Anti-Saloon
League. has made his annual report
in the course of which he says:
Legisation.-As a result of our or.
ganized attitude and the work of agi
taton carried on before and during the
meeting of the general assembly of
Arkansas. we were successful in secur-
ing some very important laws at the
hands of our legislators Your repre-
sentatives were received by most OF
the members of the legislature in both
houses with uniform welcome and
show of appreciation. not as lobbyists.
but as the representatives of good citi-
Zenship; and as a result we secured,
among many other laws. the following
of special value: First, the Wilson,
anti-gambling bill: second, the Park
bill, against soliciting orders; and
third, the graduation of penalties. BY
proper watehfulness on the part of
our local leaders throughout the state
in the selecting OF our future repre-
sentatives. we hope to secure still
stronger body of true and tried men
for our next Legislature. all of whom
will live beyond the reach of the saloon
and gambling Influences. while in the
legislature. To this end. let US work,
hope and pray.
Law Enforce ent.-Of all the de
partments ctieal results, this is
the most i'm Mt, and yet it is also
the most difficult. There are few com
muntes that have men strong enough
and willing as leaders to personally
enter and lead the fight Especially is
this true where the local officers are
seen to be in colusion with the lawless
element. However. in spite of all the
odds against us our success has been
phenomenal. There are a dozen towns
in Arkansas today where law en-
thronement has become a settled fact
that years ago was thought to be i'm
possible. One of the most encouraging
signs of our future victory is the at
titude of our courts and most of our
prosecuting officers. They almost uni
yersally receive us as representatives
of good citizenship movement and as
such give us hearty welcome. AS a
result our SucCtSS III lil1 courts mas
been almost universal, having lost only
four cases out of over five hundred
prosecutions during the past two years
The courts are uniformly sustaining
our temperance laws. Chancellor T.
B. Martin and Circuit Judge Chapline
have each sustained our law against
the whisky drummer soliciting orders.
and the supreme court has sustained
theRaines seizure law. which is now be-
coming our strongest legal weapon
against the liquor seller. Our greatest
difficulty in this phase of the work is
the lack of funds to keep a properly
equipped detective force at our com
mand to meet all of the demands of
the public. However. we are systemat-
lcaily striking at the strategic points
OF the state. and there is rapidly being
onllt "A strong sentiment in favor of
law enforcement. Another and far
reaching result of our work has been
accomplished in our capital city. Lit

Washington, NoT. 26-The action
taken by the United States in landing

with the wishes of the Colombian
government, and follows specific re-

The Colombian authorities are fully
aware that if they retake Colon it
must be through their own efforts,

Shall Marion be Represented at the
State Fair7

The state fair speakers addressed
representative assemblage of farmers
aud business men in the court house
Monday morning.
Capt. John II. Stevens, industrial
agent Of the Plant System, was the
first speaker. He thought it was i'm
portant for Florida To hold state
fair. because there is very general
impression abroad that it is not an
agricultural state. That the letters he
receives daily are quite amusing; for
instance. one prospective settler would
ask if il were possible to raise chick
ems i'm Florida; another, if it were
possible To raise cows and make milk
and butter; another, if grass can be
successfully grown, and hogs and
horses profitably raised. He said it
was important that a state fair be
held to let the world know that these
things are not only possible, but that
they can probably be done more sue
cessfully in Florida than in any other
state in the Union. He said he also
received letters wanting to know if
we had yellow fever in Florida all the
year round, and if the disease was
general all over the state, or only linn
tied Ia certain localities. He thought
that literature judiciously distributed
would perhaps counteract this opin-
ion. He said that the northern part
Of Michigan is the only place in the
Union whose summer climate would
compare favorsbly with ours. That it
is the general opinion that Marion is
the finest agricultural county in the

Baseball.

This has been a sporty" week in
Ocala and especially in baseball cir
cles.
On Tuesday the Ocala nine meas.
ured strength with the st. Augustine
nine and met its first real defeat. -
The st. Augustine boys are fine
players. but it is confidently believed
that the OcaIa team will retrieve the
laurels it lost when it shall cross bats
with the st. Augustine club in the
Ancient City on the 18th.
On Wednesday morning the mem.
bers of the st. Augustine nine celebrat.
ed their victory by parading the streets
behind brass band, with brooms
hoisted and streamers floating in the
air, and gave the town a gorgeous and
mellow cOloriEg.
The Ocala boys enjoyed the demon.
stratiOn because they saw in the ST.
Augustine's appreciation of their vic.
tory compliment TO themselves.
If the visitors had taken their vic
tory as a matter-of.course and made
no ado about it, the Ocala boys would
have felt bad indeed.
On Wednesday afternoon game
was played between the st. Augustine
and Ocala cOlored team, but the st.
Augustine team was so completely
purchased that the game soon Jagged
and became uninteresting. The score
in favor of Ocala was out of sight.
Yesterday afternoon the Ocala home
team (white) crossed bats with the
Fl. Whites and walked around them
In an easy, rag time manner, atlthe
rate of IL to 8. That|lwas the score
Notwithstanding the fact that the Fl.
White team borrowed Dugan, the
Jacksonville pitcher, who pitched for
the Gainesville team the afternoon
before and nearly shut out the Fort
Whites.
Tomorrow afternoon the Ocala and
Orlando teams will be pitted against
each other and it is believed will be
the most exciting game of the season.
After this week the Ocala boys will
play at st. Augustine, Clearwater and
other places.

DEATHS harvest.

The work Of earth's last reaper has
been quite active during the past
week and has visited the homes of
the rich and the poor.
Mrs. II. b. Masters, wife of Ocala's
leading merchant, died at her home in
New York last Friday. She had been
sick for nearly q year and was sixty
years old. She was buried in Green
wood cemetery. His friends here

state; that she had captured and now
holds first prizes for the best exhibits
in former state fairs, and her people
should stir their stumps and capture
the first prize for the best county ex-
hibit at the Jacksonville state fair this
winter.
Major George P. Healy, of Volusia,
was next introduced. He is manager
of the fair, and said that Marion's
pride should be stimulated, because il
is almost Marion county instead Of
state fair; that the president of the
State Fair Association Is q Marion
county man; that its treasurer Is q
Marion county man, and that two
members of the board of directors are
Marion county men; that one acre of
Marion county soil is worth fifteen
acres of Volusia county soil, where he
halls from, and that Marion county
only needs the effort to capture the
biggest prizes, and add to the laurels
she already wears; that there is no
question as to the success of the fair.
Enough exhibits have already been
promised and space asked for to make
it success. He said the primary OBJ
ject of the fair is for the benefit of the
Florida farmer-tO let him know what
his neighbOr is doing, what things he
is producing, and at what cost. AS he
progressed in his speech he warmed
up to his subject, became eloquent and
enthusiastic, and sat down amid gen.
erous and prolonged applause.
Mr.. s. II. Gaitskill, of Mcintosh,
made most practical and interesting
talk. He said that the present drouth
and severe weather in other states
would be of benefit to Florida, and
would open the eyes Of the people in
search of aplace where they can make
living without working twelve
months in the year, and in q state not
susceptible to drouths and other
weather cslamities. He said that he
had lived in Kentucky, Maryland and
other states, and was speaking as q
practical farmer to practical farmers;
it is his opinion that Florida is the best
agricultural state in the Union: that
hogs, horses and cattle can be raised
here cheaper, and these things can be
de monstrated, and will be demon
strated, at our state fair. Mr.. Cats
kill appealed to the pride of Marion
county to make creditable exhibit at
the approaching state fair, and hold
fast to the hOnors she has already
won, and capture yet greater ones.
Hon. H. w. Long, of Martel,
made short but fervid address. He
said the state fair movement had his
hearty endorsement; that it is held at
an OppOrtune time, and he believes it
will be of great benefit to the state;
that its promoters deserve the thanks
of the whole people of Florida.
Mr.. Herbert A. Ford, president of
the Occla board OF trade, acted as mas
ter of ceremonies and said the board
of trade would cooperate with the
the county commissioners and see
that Marion county is creditably rep
resented.
1t is believed that Marion county
will make an exhibit that will be a
revelation TO the other counties of the
state.

On Saturday Mrs. William Daven.
port died and was buried i'm the old
cemetery. The deceased was born in
Cheshire, Eng, sixty-three years
ago, and with her husband led rather
a remarkable life, having lived in
England, Brazil, Venezuela, and other
South American states, and some of
the West India islands, and several
states of the United States. She had
seven sons five of whom were born
under different flags.
The family has been quite unfortu-
nate in the last year. One of the sons,
Harry, very bright lad, died last
summer, and Mr.. Davenport was laid
to rest about six months ago. The
family is In great distress and is being
kindly looked after by the good peo-
pie of the community. The sweetest
charity is to look after the fatherless
and the motherless.
