EMPLOYEES SHARE PROFITS.
Cleveland Railway Divides the Profits
of the Past Year-AIso Increases
Dividends on Stock.

Special to the Ocala Banner:
Cleveland, O., Jan. 5.-The dividends
declared by the Cleveland Electric
Railway company, amounting to $685.
500 is payable today. The company
is in a prosperous condition and not
only the stockholders profit by that
fact, but also the employees, who share
in the profits by receiving an increase
in their wages. The increase for the
more than 1000 motormen and con-
ductors of the company amounts to
about l cent per hour. The increase
in the wages of the employees was de-
cided upon by the Board of Directors
recently, after they had increased the
regular dividends from to per cent.
The action of the company in raising
the wages of their employees was en-
tirely voluntary. There had been no
requests by the men for higher wages
and they were apparently satisfied
with what they were paid. The in
crease became effective with the first
day of this month.

little compliment to them in his speech
at the opening of the Jacksonville ex-
position. He not only condoned the
fault of our dear common mother in
that celebrated transaction in fruit, by
not referring to il. but he exalted her
as she deserves in the following really
eloquent tribute: Il never look upon
such. a gathering that | do not think

Governor 5roward and His Friends.

In speaking of Governor Napoleon

the integrity of the Florida editors
the Tampa Herald makes the follow
ing comments.
The Herald does not believe that
there is a paper or a man in the state
who can point to a private or official
act of Gov. Forwards which would in,
dictate that he has ever been untruth-
full. and therefore no one can justly
acuse him.
The remarks of the Herald are re-
specially referred to Messrs. John T.
Lewis of Moss Bluff, and John d.
Robertson, of Ocala, who did more for
him in this county in the last cam
paign than any other two men.

my reason for this stand is that the

do not believe the comptrollers present

books bearing his monthly approval, would
have any weight in court. Before l take
