THE PRISON CONGRESS IN SEES
SION AT RICHMOND
Richmond, Va, Nov. 16. 1908.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 16, 1908.
To the Editor Ocala Banner:
Governor Swanson. in his welcome
address to the congress. said in part:
You have the keys to our city, but
you are still in danger; yet | assure
you that not a delegate shall become
a member of the class whose refOTma-
ton you seek. We Virginians are &C
cused of being sectional and prOvin-
cial. We are neither.
Richmond is one of the famous cit
les of the world. No other ever had
coo battles around its environments,
but we have forgotten all the hatred
of the past. We stand for a reunited
country. The north. south, east and
west are four columns supporting the
structure of the greatest country the
world has ever known.
Il want this association TO be fear
less in its battles against crime.
When governments spend as much
in preventing crime as they do in pun
fishing il there will be great improve
ment
If those institutions that beg will
devote themselves to getting posi-.
tons for the idle there will be great
reformation | should like TO see
those who are idlers-thOse who will
not WORKOUT on the public roads to
labor
1T is an outrage, too, to see the jul
venile criminal brought in touch with
the hardened offender. Establish a
method whereby jobs will be secured
for discharged prisoners, and insist
on conditional pardoning of prison
ers."
Richmond is a remarkable and his
tOrical city. Each of her seven hills
is a jewel to sparkle throughout the
earth. and this any traveller will ad
nit after visiting the capital of the
Old Dominion state Here you see
the statue of Washington, StonewaI
jackson, Henry Clay, Jefferson anC
many others.
AT Hollywood cemetery you note
the monuments of Davis. Lee anC

GENERAL CONVENTION OF THE
DAUGHTERS OF THE
CoNFEDERACY

The general convention of the Unit
ed Daughters of the Confederacy,
which was held in Atlanta last week.
was a very brilliant assemblage. Del
egates were in attendance from Cal
ifornia to Florida, and from Washing
ton to New York, and some of the
most noted women of the south met
together in a splendid convention.
On Saturday morning, for nearly
two hours, the following questions en-
gagged the attention Of the convention:
Shall northern women who are
wives of Confederate Veterans. or of
lineaI descendants of veterans be adj
mitted to membership in the L. D. c.?
The convention decided by an over
whelming vote that they should be
admitted; not, however, until debate
had ragged. in the course of which the
delegates grew almost uncomfortable.
Florida cast her vote against admit
ting northern women as members Of
the L. d. c.
In speaking of this question the At
lanta Journal says:
The ultimate action of the associa-
ton in refusing TO exclude northern
women from its ranks is considered
most notable indication that the bit
terness of sectiOnalism has passed
away. Against such bitterness the L.
D. c. has spoken its loudest disap-
prevail"
Other business before the cOnven-
| ton Saturday was the completion of
reports on the Shiloh and the Airing
ton monument funds. The erection
of these two memOrials-the former
in cOmmemoratiOn of the famous bat
| tie of Shiloh and the latter of the Con
| federate cause as a whole-is one of
the greatest and most cherished en-
terprises the L. D. c. has ever under
taken. The Shiloh monument is to
mark the battlefield of that name.
| The Arlington cenotaph will be erect
| ed near General Lees home.
Many brilliant social affairs, recep-
| lions, dinners, drives. luncheOns, etc
made this convention one of the most
delightful and memorable ones in the
! history Of the L. D. c.
The next meeting will be held in
Jacksonville.

WONDERFUL SUCCESS
A BIG RUSH FOR THE MANY
BARGAINS OFFERED AT THE
RAILROAD WRECK SALE WAS
THE RESULT OF WIDE PUBLIC
ITY GIVEN THE OCCASION

The citizens of Ocala and vicinity
were amazed and astOnished in the
extreme to watch the thousands of
customers cOngregate at the Great
Railroad Wreck Sale on Saturday and
Monday. Never in the history of
Ocala has there been such a rush and
scramble for merchandise as was wit
messed at this great event.
On Saturday at o'clock sharp the
opening hour, of the Great Railroad
Wreck Sale, the sidewalk outside of
the store was one mass of humanity
pushing and surging their way into
the store in order to be amongst the
first to grasp the hundreds of bar
gains that were on display.
The store was literally damned and
packed like sardines in box from
the opening hour until late at night.
when Mr.. Joel, the conductor of the
sale. insisted upon the customers
leaving. thereby giving the large force
of clerks a much needed rest after so
tiresome a day.
To say there was a crowd is just
putting it mildly. 1t was without a
shadow of a doubt the largest crowd
that ever attended a sale in this To-
cality
Mr. Joel stated to our advertising
manager that he has in the past con
| Quoted a great many sales in his sew
| enteen years of experience, but never
| in his life has he seen such a crowd
of buyers ready and willing to pur-
| chase the many bargains that were
/ being offered There were about for
| ty salespeople in all and the force was
not half large enough to wait on the
| customers. Everybody left the store
with large bundles under their arms
and all wearing happy smile as they
| emerged from the cOngested crowd on
their way home. rejoicing and speak
/ ing in the highest terms of the Great
Railroad Wreck Sale.
Monday the crowd still continued
to attend and from an observation il
seemed equally as large, if not larger
than the one of Saturday.
Mr.. Joel was asked why he did such
an enormous business. Saturday and
| Monday. His answer was extensive
advertising, and giving the public just
what we advertise" That alone
! speaks volumes. He stated also that

TWINE ECONOMY.
One Ball Served Busy Postal EN-
ployee Seven Years.

Though 1t handles some thousand
million dollars year, the United
States government Is not unapprecia-
tive of the value of small things, such,
for example. as a piece of secondhand
twine. Perhaps the ordinary ragplck-
er wouldn't regard IL as a good busi-
ness principle to stoop for a discarded
twelve inch string when he Is hurry
ing through the city at dawn In keen
competition with all classes OF rag
plckers for what there is of CONNER
cial value In the ash barrels and scrap
heaps. But that may be due wholly
to his inability to foresee some of the
future possibilities In the practice of
noticing such trivial things. Similarly
1t may be that a certain government
employee who attached himself to the
New England division of the United
States railway mail service six or
seven years ago did not pin much faith
In little dingy string pieces for he was
some grades above the trained rag
picker In the social scale. Yet he
stopped to pick up such string pieces as
came under his observation in the or
dinary routine of his business. and 1t
resulted in the bestowal upon him of a
distinction which has not come to his
companions of less economical tenden-
cies. How much 1t counts toward his
promotion in the service is problemat-
ical, but it has carried his name and
fame with favorable comments to the
attention of the United States postof-
flee authorities. says the Boston Tran
script.
When this man reaches the next step
up and his salary Is increased accord
lngly, he will have some difficulty in
dissociatlng his luck from the little
string pieces he has picked up In his
years of service, and his mind may be
coached by little justified pride in the
following official paragraph clipped
from the most prominent position In
recent general order of the New Eng
land division of the United States rail-
way mail service, over the signature
of his superintendent:
"a clerk in this division, appointed
in 1901, with the exception of having
been furnished with one ball OF twine,
has never made requlstion for an
additional supply, having reused the
twine which he saved from packages
received by him."

"Every kitchen has a window with
one pane out In the Brazilian town OF

town Is servants paradise. Servants
live in their own homes there, as they
should everywhere. They come to
work at 7 in the morning. and they
quit at 7 at night-a twelve hour day.
Quite long enough. The paneless win
dow is for the milkman. the baker. the

DID LEE EXPECT DEFEAT7
The Generals Significant Statement
After Sailors Creek.

My last official intercourse with Gen
eral Lee was on the retreat. was
sent to him with dispatches from Pres
ident Davis and reached him near mid
night of April @ near Rice's station. l
approached without being challenged
by single sentinel and found him
standing near smoldering fire with
one of his hands resting on an am
bulance wheel. lie was debating some
order to Colonel Marshall, who sat in
the ambulance with a lap desk receiv-
ing his dictation. AS General Lee
spoke he gazed into the bed of Goals
as IL weighing every word. There was
no staff or escort about. so far as
could see. Touching Sailors Creek. he
spoke bitterly and said in answer to
Mr. Davis desire to know his proposed
line of retreat that Ii was beyond his
control; that he had intended TO re-
treat by the line of the Danyllle road,
but had been forced off that route by
the arrival of Sheridan ahead of him
ut Burkvile; that he was then follow
ing the line of the Southside road to
Lynchburg. but the enemy was out
marching him and might force him Off
that his movements were dependent
on the developments of each hour. and
then he added: "How can ] tell? a
few more Sailors Creeks and 1t will all
be over-just where thought 1t would
end from the beginning" When first
published this statement its truthful
ness was questioned. Fortunately |
afterward saw two of his staff, both
of whom said they had heard him ex-
press himself in the same way. There
may have been times when General
Lee, elated by some of his surprising
successes, felt hopeful about the tri-
umph of our cause. From the proba-
bilities based on numbers and resources
his Judgment may have been warped
away now and then by the feeling he
expressed when. after Second Manas-
sas. Sharpsburg. Fredericksburg and
| Charlottesville. he said, mo general
ever commanded such troops as those
under me-" But his mind was too
mathematical In its workings, and all

amount of material to make him forget

A GRATEFUL GUEST.
Tho Reward She Bestowed Upon Those
Who Entertained Her.

"Human nature is queer thing"
said the philosopher
"Not long ago some friends of mine
got bodily down on their luck. Times
were so hard for them that they scarce
ly knew which way to turn for the
necessities of life.
"At that most inopportune time they
received word from woman friend of
theirs that she was coming to visit
them for a few days. They were dis
mayed, but by the exercise of great In
genuity and by deprlving themselves
to almost the vanishing point they
managed to entertain her and really TO
set before her most excellent meals.
"After she left their affairs contin-
ued to grow even worse, IL possible,
and while they kept up Il brave front
was near enough to them 30 couldn't
help knowing all about 1t, though they
were not aware that saw the sltua-
ton.
II thought 1t was time some of their
friends came to the rescue IL suitable
way could be devised, so l wrote the
woman who had been their guest
being slightly acquainted with her my
self--told her / would head the process
sion, would like her aid and would be
glad of any suggestions she could make
as to a practical plan for helping our
old friends without hurting their prop
er pride.
"Her reply gave me something to
think about for many day. She said
she didn't care to help them, as they
already lived too well and set too ex-
pensive table; that when she had
visited them they had a great deal
more to eat than was necessary and
that they must be very extravagant
people; that 1t was undoubtedly their
own fault they We're In such trouble
ana that 1t would probably teach them
to be more economical In future!'--
