The address of welcome of General
Julian s. Carr of Durham, N. c., well
known in Ocala, to the delegates at
tending the Commercial Congress, re-
Gently held in Atlanta, was fine pro-
duction, and has ELECTED praise from
the press of the country generally. He
welcomed the delegates on behalf of
the southern states seyerally, and this
is what he said about Florida: Again
fare on to the land of flowers, to fair
Florida with her orange groves and
her winters bathed in sunshine and
balmy airs; the land where Ponce de
Leon thought to find the spring of ev-
erlasting youth and discovered it not,
but where thousands since his day
found new health and renewed their
youth. Indescribable is the charm
and the attraction of Florida, and it
need not cause surprise that the larg-
est increase in population of any state
shown by the last census is in that
state. Facing future big with
promise, Florida sends greetings to
her southern mates"

THINKS THAT JUDGE BELL
SHOULD BE GIVEN oPPoR-
TUNITY OF A VINDlCA-
TON

Some time ago the grand jury of
Marion county brought. in true bill
against the judge of that county for
malifesance in office, specifying ex-
tortion and charging exorbitant fees
unwarranted by law. A news item
following shortly carried the informa-
ton that the judge was acquitted of
the charge on technicality.
That judge has right to be tried
on the merits of the case He should
insist upon his right. He should not
have technicality standing in the
way of acquittal if he is innocent,
nor should technicality protect him
if he is guilty. Justice to Judge Bell
and the people of Marion county de-
mands that the case should be decided
on its merits and not on technically,
which, proving nothing, leaves a cloud
upon the reputation of the Judge and
a blot on the good name of the peo-
pie of Marion sounty. Claude

better than we are capable of repre-
senting them.
The enterprising merchants OF
Ocala are making bid for public
patronage, and they are making a
wonderful showing.
In all the years of this city's his
tory the Banner has never felt the
enthusiasm that it feels today, as it
contemplates the wonderful POSSIBLE
tiles of the town and county, as it re-
fleets upon the superb advantages
which the merchants enjoy, and as

The strength and usefulness of the
Times tow-line has been freshly dem
onstrated, as shown by this spirited
little story from the Barlow Courier
Informant, following closely upon the
vigorous counsel of this paper to the
Barlow city dads: Barlow now has a
water wagon. 1t has been at work
sprinkling our streets for several
days, much to the delight of our mer.
chants, housekeepers and citizens gen
orally Tampa Times. What Bar.
tow needs and what every other town
needs more than the water wagon is
the oil wagon. Oiled streets will lay
the dust and preserve the streets far
more efficiently and cheaply than
sprinkling with water will do it.

The Revue Industrielle, French
publication, says that steel in rein
forced concrete, is injured by cleo
tricity; mot occasional currents of high
tension, but currents of low tension
and weak intensity. These latter de-
stroy the close adhesion of the metal
to the concrete, then the concrete
serves no longer as a protection to the
metal. It is necessary to render it
waterproof, as dryness is the best fac
tor for the prevention of the genera
ton of an electric current. Atten-
ton is also called to the curious fact
cited by the Electrician that reinforc-
ed concrete, even when not provided
with lightning rods, is a protection
against lightning. 1t says that it does
not seem possible that the nest of
metal in reinforced concrete is amply
sufficient to carry lightning current,
in case it strikes, to the ground with
out injury to the structure, especially
if the foundation is in contact with
underground water. There is no doubt
but that the metallic frame work will
then be traversed by a current, but
without any great risk to the building.

Senator Bailey has been summoned

charged by former State Senator
David H. Holtslaw, of Iuka, with pay
ing him $4,000 on July 16, 1909, in
Broderick's saloon in Chicago for
Holtslaw's vote for William Lorimer
for United States senator. Holtslaw
produced deposit slip for that
amount on the state bank of Chicago,
in which bank he said he deposited
the money. The deposit slip was taken
to Washington by subcommittee, in
|vestigating Lorimer's election and the
last knowledge of the whereabouts of
the slip was when Senator Bailey
held it in his hand during his speech
lin the senate in defense of Lorimer
and denounced it as a forgery. Brod-

When Mr.. John M. Palmer of New

Commercial Congress together, which
is now in session in Atlanta, it was
with gaven the head of which was
made of sixteen pieces of wood from
the sixten southern states which have
united in the congress. The handle OF
the gavel is made of piece of brack
from the elm which President John
Quincy Adams planted in the White
House grounds, typifying the union of
the states. The wood contributed by
Alabama was from a persimmon tree,
Maryland sent piece of chestnut,
while the other states contributed
pine and oak.
