COcOe-NUT" LETTER.
The Editor Of the Stsrks Telegraph
Makes . Vigorous Reply to Gen.
ersI Bullock.
Starke, Fla. June 4th, 1904.

Starke, Fla, June 4th, 1904.
TO the Editor Of the ocala Banner.
am just in receipt of the Ocala
Daily Banner of June 3rd, containing
a letter written by General Robert
Bullock on the subject of an editorial
that recently appeared in the Starke
Telegraph, a weekly newspaper,
edited, published and owned by this
very humble and Obscure" scribe,
and which has, in its very humble
sphere, always advocated a railroad
commission, legislation in restraint
of trade and monopolies, and other
legislation calculated to protect the
interests of the people.
1 observe with no small degree of
regret that General Bullock con-
strues the Telegraph editorial as a
personal attack on him. 1t was not
so intended, and believe any dis
interested person who has read it did
not see in its verbiage anything to call
forth such maledictiOns as General
Bullock's letter abounds in.
For General Bullock, personally, 1
have the very highest respect and
profoundest generation, though to
be frank, his illnatured retort and
wholesale condemnation of the thous-
snds of good citizens and loyal demo-
Gratis who are supporting Hon. RObt.
w. Davis have in no wise enhanced
my good opinion of him. From a
man to whom we have all paid hon.
age and upon whom have bestowed
some of the highest honors within
our gifts, dignified, temperate dis
cussion of public measures is natural
ly expected, even though the citizen
who raises a point be ever so
humble and obscure. Instead, the
general assumes an air of naughty
superiority before the rest of man
kind and INDUCES in the most in
temperate denunciatiOn of every one
who has the temerity to see things
with any other than from the Bull
lock point OF view, rather than a
parliamentary discussion of a public
matter that vitality concerns the citi-

first nominated Judge Davis for con-
gress, entered a most vigorous pro-
test against the vote of the Marion
county delegation being cast for
another candidate, claiming in his
speech of protest that Judge Davis
was the choice of the Marion county
democracy. Judge Davis was attOr-
ney for a railroad then, but he had
promised to cancel his relations with
the road if nominated to represent
the people of the second district of
congress. The democracy of the dis
trict, including General Bullock, be-
lieved and trusted him. He made his
promise good. Having been among
those who set the example of taking
Judge Davis at his word General
Bullock should not now find fault
with others of us if we believe him
when he says he owes allegiance to
no railway.
In eXtenuatiOn of General BullOck's
passion l can only put it on the
ground of what he himself says, that
he is getting to be an old man"

of his services for the defence of our
common country when the call for
volunteers was made in 1898, and
numbers among his cherished posses
sions a captains commission bearing
the honored name of w. d. Bloxham,
and this brings us to the main point
the moving cause of the Telegraph's
editorial on General Bullock's sur
prising attitude on the gubernatorial
contest.
Being the son of Confederate vet
eran and having had some little eX-
perience as a soldier in the field mot
in battle, for in the Spanish-American
embroglia the Florida regiment had no
opportunity to distinguish itself,
though, take it, would have behav-
ed we'll under fire since it was COM
posed largely of worthy sons and
grandsons of Confederate veterans)
l have learned to feel rather senSibly
the ties that under normal conditions
bind soldiers one to another. After
Mr.. Brown was no longer in the race
l saw about me the veterans and sons
of veterans who had supported him
trooping to the standard of Bob Davis.
l knew General Bullock had won dis
tinction as a Confederate officer. l
knew Bob Davis had enlisted in the
service of the beloved Confederacy
when mere lad of fourteen wears,
giving his country honest and faith
full service as a soldier, and that his
record as a public official was so high
above reproach that even General
Bullock's man Broward, in his cam
paign of inuendO and misrepresenta-
ton, had not dared to call it into
question. Feeling that |, a son of a
Confederate veteran should naturally
feel, thought that there should be
an affinity between this distinguished
Confederate officer and this distin-
guished Confederate private; that
General Bullock had taken grounds so
surprising to his younger admirers
and so disappointing to his old COM
rades, thought constituted a legiti-
mate and proper subject for editorial
discussion, and following up the line
of reasoning that men do not without
a definite, we'll defined cause, take
decided grounds on any matter of
grave Importance, and especially
in such absolute contrary distinction
TO what is, from association and en-

zens of Florida, as might have been
expected from a man ripe in years
and weighted down with honors be-
slowed upon him by these people,
Gen. Bullock descends to the level of a
swash-buckler and attempts TO sweep
everything opposed to him off the
board by a show of buster that ill
becomes a man accustomed TO occupy
an exalted place in the public esti-
nation.
This scribe is summarily dismissed
as 1.-The cheap editor of hireling
newspaper" but l observe that the
general sweetened his temper long
enough % toss in the customary as
sortment of Bullock bouquets. He
took good pains to dwell with en-
phasis upon his own long reputation
for honor and integrity, but, with
total lack of charity and tolerance,
msparingly denounced this scribe
without ever having taken the least
trouble to ascertain whether his
denunciation and Incorporate crimi-
nation had even the shadow of fOun-
dation to rest upon.
For this reason, and not in any
spirit of self laudation, for l readily
enter plea of guilty to the generals
charge of "obscurity," l trust Mr..
Editor, that you and your readers
will pardon the personal illusions
that are necessary to acquaint my
distinguished illumination with the
facts that this cheap editor belongs
to family that has been fairly well
known in this particular section of
Florida, not alone for sixty years, but
for nearly century, and that none
of them have yet done dishonor to
the name; that within the decade a
kinsman of his has been chief justice
of the supreme court of Florida; that
he was himself on May 10th chosen
to represent Bradford county in the
state legislature by the vote of
seventy-one per cent. of the demo-
cratic electors who cast their ballots;
that he is the son of a Confederate
soldier as brave and true as any who
bear the name of Bullock, notwith-
standing that his shoulder straps,
because of their subordinate grade,
did not give to him the honor and
distinction that my distinguished
critic has derived from his; that this
scribe himself made a willing tender
