CHARLES n. CAMPBELL

Mr.. Charles II. Campbell. who ac-
cording to dispatches from New YORK
shot himself, at his place of business
in that city Tuesday was born in Ma
con, Ga, fifty-One years ago, where
he grew to manhood. coming to Flor
ida in 1880 and with his brother, j.
A. Campbell. the present manager of
the Ocala Water Co., aided in building
the South Florida railroad from San
ford to Kissimmee. At d place called
Mayo, a dozen miles south of San
ford he and Mr. Nevins built an ice
plant and in connection with it ran a
fish business in Tampa, running his
own cars and supplying ice to GUS
toners along the road. OF this bust
ness Mr.. G.. III. Campbell had charge
for several years, then embarking in
business in Orlando. which he con-
Quoted until he was made superin-
tendent of the Ocala Water Co. in
1888. Of which he had charge until
1898. when he resigned and accepted
a. similar position with the water
works in Charlotte, N. c., where he
served for seven years until a better
position awaited him as travelling
representative Of the New York Fibre
Hose Co, which position he held until
last September, when he became
connected with the Fire and Water
Journal, Of New York, and with whom
he served at the time Of his death.
Probably no man ever lived in Ocala
who took a deeper interest in It's ed
ucatiOnal, moral and material ad-
vancement. He was a born booster
and liking Ocala and her people and
seeing the possibilities Of the town,
by united work he was continually
presenting plans for it's growth He
took a deep interest in the fire de-
partment and by general consent and
approval became it's chief, and during
his administration Of it's affairs built
UP department which became a
credit to the town for efficiency and
service. 1t was through his untiring
efforts that Ocala secured the first
meeting of the state fireman's organ
ization. which brought a large delega
ton of companies from various parts
OF the state, who contested for prizes
and made the meeting memorable 1t
was also through his efforts that the
Ocaia Fire Department took a hand in
contests held at the Atlanta EXPOSE
ton and made a record for time that
was indeed a credit to the town.
Mr.. Campbell also took a deep in
terest in the organization of the Met
ropolitan Band. Largely through his
enorts that organization succeeded
and in recognition of his worth thu
band made him president and up tc
the time he removed from the city his

he aspired to be mayor and many
people laughed at what they called his
