Keeping a Model Saloon.

A Pittsburg man who has just died
left the name of having run a model
saloon. He closed his doors on Sun
days and holidays. Men who came in
drunk had either to walk out or be
thrown out. If a customer began to
exhibit symptoms of approaching in
toxication his drinks were shut off.
If an argument was started which
threatened to end in a row the saloon
was cleared at once. There are num-
bers of drinking places in New York
where these rules are enforced. There
are others in which only the Sunday
and holiday rules are slighted. None
OF these places is advertised as "a
saloon run as the church would run
it." One may find it a good business
practice, even in saloon keeping, to
avoid trouble by not letting trouble
get the first move. The Pittsburg man
who tried it died rich.-World.

To Make Fight Against Consumption.

Special to the Ocala Banner:
Ottawa, Ont, March 2S.-The Ca
madam Association for the Prevention
Of Consumption and others forms of
tuberculosis will hold it's sixth an
nual meeting in the Railway commit
tee room of the House OF Commons
this afternoon and evening. Physi-
clans and health officials from all parts
Of the Dominion OF Canada are here
to attend the meeting, which promises
to be Of great interest. In the after
noon session Senator Edwards will
preside, while at the evening session
the Lieutenant Governor, Earl Grey
will take the chair In the evening, a
public lecture will be delivered in the
lecture hall Of the Normal school by
DR.. Arthur ]. Richer, of Montreal,
which will be illustrated with stere-
opticon plates, showing the stages of
consumption and some of the appli-
ances now in use to check and cure
the disease.
The principal questions to be con-
sidered at this meeting of the associa-
ton are: What can be done to give
effect to the judgment of the Senate
and Commons that the time has ar
rived when active steps should be
taken to lessen the widespread suf-
ferings and great mortality among the
people of Canada, caused by the var
ious forms Of tuberculosis, and, what
is the place of the sanitarium in the
crusade against consumption? Ac-
cording to the census of 1901, 9,7O9
persons died of consumption in that
year.

Damage by the Cold.

We had an interesting talk with Mr..
Robert Taylor. travelling solicitor for
the Atlantic Coast Line railway, as to
the amount of damage done by the
late cold. He says that from Ocala
on down through south Florida very
little, if any damage has been done; !;
from Ocala to Gainesville about twen-
ty-five per cent. but from Gainesville
northward the damage has been more
disastrous.
Mr.. Taylor predicts that Florida will
have the largest vegetable output in
her history and to market it success
fully the railroads will be taxed to
their full capacity. He says that the
orange crop of Florida the past sea-
son reached three million boxes; the
coming season it will reach four mil
lion boxes, and in 1908 will go beyond
the figures of the year OF the great
freeze. Mr.. Taylor says that McIn-
tosh alone will produce $4,000 boxes
this season; that he had the past sea-
son some of the fruit grown on the
Sampson grove tested in competition
with fruits from other sections of the
state and it was pronounced by the
judges to be by all odds the most super
ior. Mr.. Taylor says the nearer to
the frost line YOU grow an orange the
sweeter il is.

Hon. Carlos L. sistrunk.
Hon. Carlos L. sistrunk. of ocs

Hon. Carlos L. Sistrunk. of Ocala
has announced his candidacy for
State Attorney for the Fifth Judicial
Circuit Of Florida. Mr.. Sistrunk is
eminently fitted for the office and
possesses all of the qualifications nee
essary for a successful official.
During 1904, when he made the
race for the Florida legislature in
Marion county, though the youngest of
the four candidates, Mr.. Sistrunk led
his ticket by large majority and was
easily elected. His record in the leg
islature fully justified the confidence
bestowed upon him by the people of
his county. His abilities soon won
recognition in the House and he was
placed on several of the most impor-
tant committees, among them being
the committee on rules and bylaws
Of which he was chairman; the judi
ciary committee, and committee on
constitutional amendments. He put
through several important bills dur
ing the session and took leading part
in nearly all of the most important
measures that came before the House.

ONE DOLLAR A YEAR,
ly to be enforced by those in author


We are told that the old commission
needing the complaints made by the
cantaloupe growers Of Florida as to
the unequal freight rates charged them
as compared with the rates charged
the cantaloupe growers Of Georgia and
other states, went before the inter-
state commission and easily had the
rates satisfactorily adjusted, and no
complaints are now made as to
freights on cantaloupes.
Why can not this commission be as
influential and potential with the in
ter-state commission?
For instance, the freight on canta-
loupes (secured by the old commits
sion) is so cents, weighing so lbs; but
on beans it is so cents, and a crate
weighs only 80 lbs.
Why can not Mr.. Brownies commits
sion go before the interstate commits
sion and make such a showing as will
cause these inequalities to be imme-
diately adjusted?
Why has not Mr.. Brownies commits
sion kept itself busy with the inter-
state commission?
Why has it put off being busy until
this good day when an election is ap-
preaching?

To Soldiers Memory.

Tuesday was the anniversary Of the
birth of the lamented General ]. j.
Dickson, one of the best loved soldiers
Of the Southland, and one whose mem
ory is revered throughout all Florida.
Mrs. Dickson, in memory of the
dead. yesterday placed flowers about
the mound in Hemming Park, from
the center Of which rises the stately
Confederate monument. On the mon
ument Is the bust of the beloved SOL
dier, and it was eminently fitting that
the tribute to his memory should be
paid in beautiful flowers here, where
the marble shaft testifies to all the
world to his bravery, his chivalry and
the high respect in which he was held
by all who knew him.
General Dickson is too well known
in Florida and in the South to need
any eulogy on his life and his deeds.
The Southland was the section to
which he was devoted. For it he
fought in the sixties, and then, when
the dark days of war were ended,
worked and favored for it's upbuilding.
Many an old soldier. wearing proud
ly the bronze cross of honor, stopped
yesterday before the flower -bedecked
mound in Hemming park and recalled
with a wistful sadness the beloved
comrade whose memory the tall mar
BILE pillar, surmounted by the old war
rior, was perpetuating.-Tim Union.
