At Mcintosh Yesterday.
FRIDAYS Daily.

From Last Frfday'S Ddlly.
Yesterday was the regular appoint
ment for the candidates to meet al
Mcintosh and we suppose they were
all there in force. Those who went VI
from Ocala we're: G. L. Bittinger
Frank Turner, George @. Mathews
Thomas Z. Pasteur. t. E. Biggs, and
Mr.. Charles Mathews (not candi-
date). DR.. ]. G. Baskin passed through
Ocala from Dunnellon 'and went via
the Atlantic Coast line yesterday aft
ernoon.
The campaign is now getting quite
interesting and We are sorry that i.
was impossible for US to be at MCIn-
tosh or to have a representative there
yesterday. We shall however, inter-
view some Of the speakers and have
an account of the meeting in tomor-
rows paper.
When tiie speakers arrived at Nc
Intosh yesterday they found the town
almost depopulated attending an auc-
tion sale near Evinston about three
miles away. The executive committee
man had made no arrangements for
the speaking, so the candidates had
to content themselves with shaking
hands with such voters as they could
find. The people all say that the times
are too busy to attend political speak
ings and blame the state executive
committee for calling the primary at
this season Of the year

A Card from Mr.. MeLeod.


Kendrick, Fla, May 8, 1906.
To the Editor Ocala Banner:
In asking you to cut out my card
as a candidate for state senator, in
explanation will say I have letter
from Captain Baker, prior to the 18th
of April, saying that he would not
be a candidate; verbally from Mr..
Koonce that Sumter county would
place no candidate in the field. / then
paid my assessments and filed my re-
Iceipts with Chairman ID. u. Fletcher.
My impression was that the time for
certifying to state chairman would
close on the 18th day of April; / saw
that the time was extended to the 26th
and wrote Captain Baker my letter
of the 10th, received his reply under
date of the 18th.
Mr.. J. d. Robertson came TO me
with a petition, which / signed, and
received the letter of the 23d, with no.
tees for the Star and Banner to pub
lish; then received his letter of the
25th, saying that his assessment had
been paid. receipts filed with Chair
man Fletcher and that he would enter
the race.
If Captain Baker had intimated in
his correspondence that he probably
might become a candidate at any time
/ would feel differently about the mat
ter. On his positive declaration, hav-
ing full confidence in his word. l con-
sidered him entirely out of the race
after receipt of his letter of the 18th.
And / began my campaign actively.
l do not consider, in a personal way.
that am due Captain Baker TO come
down as a candidate, but in my speech
at Ft. Mccoy I said that would give
Sumter county until the 26th TO put
out her man" and feel in honor bound
to keep my word.
I will say, however, had / known
that Captain Baker in the house in
1897 voted to keep Sumter county in
the twentieth senatorial district by
voting to kill the reapportionment bill
of that session. the fruits of which
caused him to succeed Dr. Bitch as
less support than 1 have since this
campaign begun, and in the strained
condition of my credulity at this time
must receive his legislative promises
with some grains of salt.
Thanking my friends for their sup
port. l am very truly.

FAIRFIELD.

Special Correspondence Ocala Banner.
Saturday, April %. 1906, is another
day to be noted in the annals of Fair
fields history as being conspicuous for
its sublime ecstacy.
Nature, resplendent In all its wealth
of foliage, with clear and fragrant
atmosphere, providentially tempered
by a gently waited zephyr, made the
day ideal for the most tender and fas-
tidious of Gods creatures-candidat
also.
The speaking began at 10 a. m, and
with the exception Of one hour for
recess. a roar of political thunder
was handed out by aspirants for the
various offices.
An innovation by Hon. l.. S. Light
created much amusement.
The candidates were of cheerful dis
position, and as they were kept con-
stantly on tap, the audience maintain
ed the best of humor.
We desire to say also that from the
moment the speaking began and until
1t closed, superlative decorum predom-
mated. No suggestion of acrimony in
any of the discussions.
Dinner, Of course, was a conspicu-
Gus feature, and If any visiting citi-
zen failed to satiate his appetite, no
matter what he craved. II can be at
tributed only to his confusion and ut
ter inability to select from the vari-
Gus viands that were spread before his
wondering gaze in rich and rare pro-
fusion. Had a hundred other candi-
dates and visitors been on hand there
| would still have been plenty.
The ladies of the NJ. e. church were
in their glory as is their custom on
such occasions. hence the happiness
and comfort OF the visiting multitude.
We thank the candidates for hooking
this way, and sincerely trust all may
be elected, sooner or later.

URINARY RALLY AT sLircHroN.

The splendid neighborhood of
Elitchton maintained the record it has
asways borne I'm its welcome TO the
candidates and other visitors Tuesday.
There were as many as an even hum
dred voters, IL is claimed, on the
grounds, besides a number OF married
md unmarried ladies and the usual
quantity of children
The day was ideal. The speakers
were nearly all on hand and a cour-
taous hearing was given 10 each one
as he presented his claims for the re-
sspective Office to which he aspires.
Mr.. Jack McCully. committeeman for
the precinct, presided and performed
the honors with blushing though be-
coming dignity. He introduced each
speaker eloquently and delightfully."-
wreathing the brow of each one with
a very pretty flower.
Capt. d. HI. Baker, candidate for the
senate from Sumter, was present and
made his initiatory speech, and those
syho listened to 1t were very much
charmed. His opponent, DR.. Baskin
however, followed him and was much
pleased with the applause he received
and the heartiness with which it was
given.
The speakers are now settling dowr
40 business, have their speeches well
IN hand, and are making fine impress
SiOns.
Hon. II. w. Long and Mr.. ]. NJ
Mathews, candidates for county COM
missioner for the second commission
er's district, were both on hand and
made very earnest addresses. These
men are very popular and both are
making spirited contests.
The dinner given by the Blitchtor
people was something excellent, and
those who attended can not help from
talking about it. Chicken was in evil
dence in every shape. and in great
quantities.
The opinion was general that the
people OF Blftchton are good livers and
have mastered the art OF cooking.

cRiNER FAR,a.

Tawner Name is growing old and
slowness OF his feet and dullness of
his eyes he often fails to secure his
prey; his hearing Is not as alert as it
was, and because OF these failings the
poor fellow often goes hungry, for he
is not like King Tawney Name who
received his fresh meat daily without
amy exertion on his part: because the
animals had agreed to send one of
their number each day to satisfy his
rapacious appetite. And he hopes to
not fall an easy victim to strrategem
as did King Tawney.
However, when he dragged his
weary limbs from his lair the past
week in quest of some toothsome dain-
tiles, Fortune was kind, so that he had
many fine catches, the remnants OF
which he will gladly pass on to the
Banner readers.
Mr.. John Scarborough has moved
his family into one of the Mcdowell
cottages near Oak.
Mrs. Day, who has been keeping the
popular hotel at Oak, has returned to
Anthony. Mrs. Brown, from Fellow
ship, has charge of the hotel at pres
lent.
Mr.. w. p. Chalker, his daughter and
little son. Mr.. Joe Fore and wife, at
tended a Sunday school convention al
Ocklawaha Bridge church Sunday.
While Tawney Name was lurking
about fifteen-acre cornfield in search
lof something nice. his ear caught the
sound of voices coming down the rows
toward him, whereupon Tawney hid
himself for further advances. He soon
saw a group OF merry little girls and
their hostess Of the cornfield thinning
the standing corn. At the end Of each
TOW lunch was partaken of and al
seemed 30 be having picnic. Tawney
Name could not bring himself to mo-
lest that merry party. so he crept
onislessly away. He afterwards learn
ed that the lord of that field had tried
in vain to secure hands for thinning
his corn, when the good wife came to
his assistance thus: eff you will stay
at the house l will have your corn
thinned." She sailed out and in a short
time had mustered an army OF little
girls. and going to the field the fun
began. There are more Mollie Pitchers
and Joan of Arcs than one, ''ain't"
there, Mr.. Editor?
| The first day of this week Tawney
Names quests brought him near the
residence OF Mr.. John Seller. Hearing
the sound Of music and merry laugh
ter. he stole his way nearer the house
TO ascertain the cause of such merri-
ment Finding a number of friends and
relatives of Mr.. and Mrs. Seller en-
gagged in having a good time eating
ice cream and cake, Tawney slipped
away unseen by anyone.
| The stork has been busy this week.
Tawney saw him passing by twice:
/ the first time little daughter was left
to make Mr. and Mrs. Parish happy:
the next, a son in the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Wilson. Wonder where the stork
will make his next professional visit +?

What Alfred Says Of Davis.

1TeScOII, Ar1Z., ApTl4 y, 1SUO.
To the Voters of the Fifth Judicial
| Circuit:
| The time of the democratic primary
| is now approaching, and l desire to
thank the people Of the fifth circuit
for the confidence they expressed in
me four years ago when they chose
me as their state attorney by one of
the largest majorities given in that
election, and to render to them an ac-
count of my stewardship in that office.
l entered upon the discharge of my
duties in June, 1903, and devoted every
energy and talent possessed to giving
the people of the fifth circuit a clean,
vigorous and energetic administration.
In the fall of the same year, while
in attendance on a term Of court at
Brooksville, | suffered q severe attack
Of grip which settled in my throat and
lungs and which was made much
worse by my trying to discharge my
duties AT the December, 1908 term of
the Marion circuit court, when 1 was
not well enough to be out of bed. This
resulted in January, 1904, in COM
plete breakdown of my health and loss
of my voice, and since that time, with
the exception of the May and Decem-
Der terms, 1904, and the May term
1905. of the Marion circuit court, l
have been totally incapacitated for
court work of any kind. The summer
and fall of 1904 and the summer Of
1905 was compelled to spend in
North Carolina under treatment for
my trouble, and in the fall of 1905
under the advice of my physician. /
came to Arizona, hoping that the dry
climate here would benefit me. This.
am glad to say, has been the result
OF my stay in Arizona, but l am not
lyet able to resume my work in the
courts, and do not know now when
| shall be. and / shall not be n can
ldidate for denomination TO this office
1t gives me sincere regret to have
to surrender a work in which | was
deeply interested. and in which | had
lhoped 10 accomplish much for those
who had honored me with their con-
lfidence
During all my sickness and disabil-
Iity Mr. Z. W. Davis of Ocala, who
was appointed by Judge w. :. Bull
llock to act as state attorney of the
NTH circuit, has faithfully. honestly
land conscientiously discharged the du-
ties of this important office: and such
lcredit as may be due for the manner
lin which the office has been admins
tered during the last two years and a
half is due to him and not to me. Mr.
Davis is candidate for this office at
the coming primary: he is a staunch
democrat. and has served the party
long and we'll on the county executive
committee; he is a young man. with
health and energy; i'm the prime of
