Reddick,> Fla, June 13, 1908.
To the Voters OF Marion County: In
the Weekly Star of June 18th there
appeared in the editorial columns \
piece on Bittinger and Light, saying:
In the days when the republicans
were in power and a negro represent
ed Marion county in the legislature.
Light helped to- put him there and
tried to keep him there"
I deny the charge. 1t is absolutely
false. / never voted for a negro in my
life for any office. I never attended
a republican precinct meeting or state
convention. I never affiliated with or
worked with the republicans. l did
vote for Garfield, Blaine, It. T. Nun
roe, of Ocala, Nant Borland of Citra,
and NJ. Roe Of Ocala. but never voted
for or helped elect any negro to office
and Mr.. Bittinger must prove what
he says in his paper, in our courts or
be branded as a liar. l.. S. Light.

Light still persists that he knows
more about the demands of the state
board of health than DR.. ]. Y. Porter,
who has devoted his life to the cause
and prevention of epidemic diseases.
Light in his superior knowledge and
zeal for the taxpayers of the state and
Marion county knows better way
than DR.. Porter and says DR.. Porter
is spending $4,000 a year more than
is necessary to protect the most prec-
ious interest of the state 1t Is really
wonderful how much some men do
know, but the trouble in this instance
Is that Light hid his light under a
bushel. Really, can a safe and sane"
man vote for a candidate for the leg
islature that possesses the over
shadowing knowledge that Light does.
Have you thought about it?

survlvsIs, Not AmerIoanisms.

The accepted manner of defining
Americans, either male or female, in
the London comic papers or in sec
ond-rate English novels is to lard
their speech plentifully with "calcu-
late" and guess" and with well at
the opening of each sentence. This
mode of marking, or any other is in
itself totally unimportant, but lin
guistically 1t. is not without interest,
for while 1t is purely conventional as
now used and has no relation to any
American habits Of the present day,
whether good or bad, 1t is pleasant
to note that the hardworked insular
humorists need not have gone so far
afeld TO find the words necessary for
the Identification of Americans. They
really had but to turn to the New
Letters" of Thomas Carlyle (Vol. |.
p. 17S), and there read the following
sentence: "He has brought you a
Foxs book of Martyrs, which / cal
culate will go in the parcel today:
you will get right good reading out
of it, guess From "The Origin OF
Certain Americanisms," by Senator
H. c. Lodge. in the Scribner.

said. Every few days he comes into
the dispensary and the same work is
done each time. Because OF his work
as cabinet worker the injured arm
must be left free to move. Today
flanagan apparently was all right

Army LANGUAGE.

In the army there are expressions
peculiar to itself. Heard from the
first time by outsiders, they need in
depreciation.
Among the most common are hike"
for march," striker" for soldier
serving as body servant or house
man for an officer; &C. o." for com.
manding ofioer," and 20. D." for
"offlcer of the day" "hop" and hop
room" for dance" and dancing
ROOM" "citz clothes" for Civilian
Dress" "commissaries" for grocer
ies;" coffee cooler" for an offlcer
who is always looking for an easy job
in some staff position; found" when
an officer fails to pass his examina-
tion ;"shavetail," for youngster just
out of West Point. Among the SOL
diers the expressions have multiplied
until quite a vocabulary of strange
words has been established.
"Bobtail' is dishonorable dis.
charge. Orderly bucker" is a sol
dier who when going on guard duty
strives by extra neatness of appear
ance to be appointed orderly to one

shnrtaat Hour In the Day.

"What is your shortest hour In
the day?" asked business man OF
an acquaintance. Don't say you have
none. You have, although you may
not know 1t. Everybody has. Of
course, reckoned by actual measure
ment each hour is composed of sixty
minutes, yet Notwithstanding that
chronological exactness the hours
vary in length. My shortest hour Is
from 2 to 8 o'clock in the afternoon.
/ find upon inquiry that that is the
fleetest period for many people. In
my case so swiftly do those sixty
minutes hurry by that l try to crowd
into them as many of the disagree
able yet inevitable things of life as l
possibly can. If have to interview a
bore, l see him then; If l have 10
visit the dentist, I do 1t then. That
hour is bound to slip away quickly.
no matter what happens, therefore the
agony of disagreeable scenes seems
of shorter duration" Yors
