Information comes from High
Springs to the effect that Peyton
Bailey, young white man charged
with the killing of a negro near High
Springs about three weeks ago, has
been discharged in Justice Bexley' S
court, as the evidence was to the eff
feet that the defendant was compelled
to act in self defense.-Gainesvil
Sun.
Mr.. Bailey returned Sunday from
High Springs, where he had a hear
ing the day before. The particulars
of the case are as follows: The ne
gro, who was under Bailey's orders,
was not doing his work properly and
when spoken to about it. advanced on
Pailey with a shovel. After retreat
ing as far as he could go, Bailey fired
and the negro fell MORALLY wounded.
Bailey came down to Ocala that same
hight and on the advice Of his friends
remained here until sent for. He had
no trouble in proving a clear case Of
self-defense. "Peyton" is we'll known
in Ocala, particularly in the Star Of
fee, where he worked for years, and
his friends very we'll know he is not
likely to be the aggressor in any diff
fiCulty.

(Orlando Reporters Starr

The RepOrter-Star is for John
Stockton for governor because he rep
resents the people only.
Gilchrist was our favorite and the
favorite Of two-thirds of the people
OF Orange county when he took the
field absolutely unfettered by any al
Eances. 1t matters little whether he
is aware of the fact that Doodle and
corruption is backing him. If Gill
christ is elected by this element he
will be in their debt and whether he
pays off his obligation or not, it will
nc to the everlasting shame of the
slate that politics can be controlled
by the breweries and corporations.
Let the Times Union and Tampa
Tribune support Gilchrist. We have
10 objection to it although thousands
or voters in the state do seriously OBJ
ject to voting for any candidate hav-
ing the support Of the Times Union
and Tampa Tribune.

GEORGE w. WILSON

we would not De acting our part as
a friend of the late George w. Wilson
cditor-in-chief of the Jacksonville
Times Union, did we not have a word
TO contribute to the memory Of this
distinguished citizen of Florida
Our acquaintance began with Geo.
w. Wilson twenty years ago. We first
met him at his delightful home, "Oak-
lawn" near Orange Lake, where as
the owner Of beautiful and profitable
orange grove he lived a life of COM
fort. culture and mental improvement
His library showed a taste for good
books on scientific subjects. 1t was
the home OF many interesting, sug-
gestive and instructive objects he had
gathered in his travels and we shall
never forget the enthusiasm with
which he spoke of his travels in
Mexico and the souvenirs he brought
home to illustrate his stories of the
wonderful possibilities OF that coun-
try.
The occasion referred to was that
OF a county campaign itinerary in
which the late General Dickson was
seeking the honors and emolments OF
county treasurer and to which office
dozen or more candidates were Mr..
Wilson's guests on this occasion and
the easy, entertaining and cordial
manner in which he made his guests
feel at home won the good will and
friendship of them ALL
He was a devoted and loyal DEM
oCrat and no man in Marion ever
served the party more unselfishly
than he and whatever honors he was
the recipient none carried them more
becomingly or was more faithful to
the trust than George w. Wilson. His
geniality Of disposition was as noted
as was the kindness Of heart and the
generosity with which he proffered
assistance to the unfortunate and
needy.
\ No man ever breathed in Marion
Who was more loving and devoted to
his county's material interests as
proved by the service he rendered as
president Of the Semi Tropical Expo
sition, which was held in the city from
4 1889 to 1892. We had an opportunity
to note his unselfish services to the
cause of educating the people through
1xpositions, and he was ever found
ready to put his hand in his pocket
end help the exposition, which was
enc of the most successful and splen-
Gid in accruing results ever held in
the state. Expositions need money to
run and in this particular had it not
been for Mr.. Wilson'S zeal and desire
that it should be a success and he
came to its rescue at critical periods
without hope of ever getting a dollar
back, but all for county pride and the
promotion of it's material interests, it
would have closed it's doors ignom-
iniously, but with Mr.. Wilson's guiding,
and helping hand it shut it's doors II,
a blaze of glory. ~
There were few men like George
Wilson and those who saw his true
disposition, answering loyalty and fl
deity to friend and cause, will ever
honor his memory. He truly lived so
that, the world was better and brighter
for his having served in it, and his
n emory will thus be cherished by
those who knew him best and can ap-
Lreciate the noble manhood and gen.
eIous soul that held close communion
with the world.
