FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER
FOURTH DISTRICT

Mr.. J. c. Pillans has announced his
candidacy for county commissioner
for the fourth district: Than Mr.. Pill
lans there is no man across the river
better known. His father moved to
this county from Madison county
many years ago and Mr.. Pillans has
grown up among our people, and they
have had an opportunity to note his
comings and goings and the manner
of man he is. He has been farmer,
fruit grower and merchant. This
tells something of his capacity for
business.
When we mention the fact that Mr..
Pillans has contributed six teachers
for the public schools of this county
it goes for the saying that he is a good
citizen. His children have been good
teachers, too. A man who has done
that has done well and deserves well
of his fellow citizens.
If elected to the Office of county
commissioner it will be Mr. Pillans'
ambition to make a meritoriOus re-
cord.

HON. HENRY w. LONG

We once heard Mr.. Daniel A. Miller,
who was for a long time clerk of our
circuit court, say that our younger
generation Of democrats were scarce
ly aware of the debt of gratitude the
democrats of Marion county owe to
Hon. Henry w. Long. He said that
they owed more to him than TO any
other democrat now living, and that
he should be loved and hOnored with
filial devotion.
The democrats of this county were
not always in power and it was owing
to the Unceasing efforts of men like
Mr.. Long, led and inspired by his ex-
ample, that they were finally trium-
plant and got we'll seated in the sad
die, and this turn in our political af-
fairs has meant a great deal to the
happiness, cOntentment and prosper
ity of our people.
We can testify that Mr.. Long bore
the brunt of the battle and labored
through the heat and burden of the
day" He was chairman of the cOun-
ty democratic executive committee,
when that position meant strenuous
and arduOus labor, and he became sc
noted for his faithfulness and enthu
siasm, that his name became a house
hold word, not only in his home cOun
ty but in every county in Florida.
His claims on the party are nearly
fifty years Of unwavering service anC
devotion and a singleness of purpose
that has had its influence upon 9th
ers, and has been the inspiration t
victory.
He has been to Marion county wha
Gladstone was to England, and W,
should honor him with the SAM
r measure of devotion.

In this region the troglodytes of
Cappadocia have the wonderful dwell
ings which were first described by
Paul Lukas. who travelled in Asia
Minor on the commission of Louis
XIV. His story was dscredited, but
1t is correct in every vital particular,
and he perhaps understood the truth
when he estimated the number Of
cones at $4,000. The region was visited
In succession by Texier, Hamilton,
Tschichatscheff, Ainsworth, Barth and
Mordtmann, but it is still virtually
unknown.
The height OF the cones varies
greatly. ranging perhaps from so to
900 feet. The tallest cones usually
stand in the center OF an eroded val
ley, but not always. The process of
disintegration by the solvent action
of water still continues, OF course, and
in many cones the exterior wall has
been worn away to such an extent
that the chambers are laid bare. Such
exposed chambers, II they lie fairly
TO the sun, are used for drying
grapes and other fruit, as they are
safe against invasion by animals.
Often the cones are almost perfect
in shape, and originally all of them
were crowned by caps of lava.
Very often the doorways are quite
elaborate, and display an attempt at
architectural and decorative effect,
more especially in the case of cones
that have been turned into temples,
churches or chapels.
