TURNS OVER NEW LEAF.

Many newspapers in the State
have never carried Whiskey adYer
tisements and during recent years
numbers of others have adopted
that policy. We have often Won
dered why the esteemed Licking
ton Dispatch, than which there is
no finer weekly in North Caro-
lima, persisted in its course Of adj
vertising liquor houses. But now
that paper has seen the error of it's
way and makes new years re-
solution which will be commended
and appreciated by all good peo=
pie. Listen:
Beginning with January 1911,
The Dispatch will no longer ac-
eept Whiskey or beer advertising
at any price.
''This means a direct loss of
thousands of dollars to the paper,
but the highest purpose of The Dis
patch is not to make money, but
to do good, to inspire its readers
to better things in this world.
This class of advertising is and
has been very distastefui to us
and to great number Of our good
friends, as well as a handicap to
The Dispatch in it's effort to cor
rect certain existing evils. It is
not necessary for us to say that
The Dispatch has the best inter
estS of its readers at heart Ev-
erybody knows that. In the flu.
ture as in the past The Dispatch
will be found battling for what il
believes to be right, regardless OF
circumstances. It will stand fo1
the best In every phaseof life bet.

ter roads, better farming and bet

better and brighter homes. -

to the partial friends. who had so
graciously remembered him this
glorious Christmas eve. It was all
very beautiful.

The following dispatch from
New York, has arrived, as was to
have been expected:
Theodore Roosevelt will not
seek the republican nomination
for the presidency in 1912. This
may be definitely stated this af-
ternoon. Conditions within the
last three months have combined
to make the ex-president decide
unalterably upon this course.
eff President Taft wishes re-
nomination, Colonel Roosevelt is
in favor Of giving it to him and is
prepared to lend his best, efforts
towards that end. If Mr.. Taft
should conclude that he has had
enough, then Roosevelt will abide
by the party's choice Of the man
to be the party's. national stand
ard-bearer. always providing that
choice does not fall upon him.
To be sure; to be sure! As we
calculate it, the republican, nomi-
nee for 1912will never be elected,
and with his usual facility of
getting from under" Teddy an
nounces his program early. Maybe
he feels like Taft ought to be
willing~to play the goat for him
this once. remembering what
Teddy has done for him.

Complicated Senatorial Situation
Bothers West Virginia Legislature

Complicated Senatorial Situation
Bothers West Virginia Legislature
Wheeling, w. Va. Jan. L.
The contest among Democrats for
the seat now held in the United
States Senate by Nathan B. Scott
Republican, of Wheeling. is now
considered as five-cornered with
the enrolment of John j. Cornwell,
an editor of Hampshire county, as
a receptive candidate. Mr.. Corn
well was defeated as a candidate
for Governor in 1904.
An uncertain feature of the sit
uation is the possibility that ex-
Secretary Of States William E.
Chiffon of Charleston may enter
the contest.
The contest appears chiefly to
be between Clarence w. Watson,
a Fairmont coal operator, and
John T. McGraw of Grafton, for
many years Democratic national
committeeman and in 1899 the I'M
successful party nominee for Sena-
tor against, Scott.

Scrap Iron Trust Nipped in the

Washington, Dec. 31.-A scrap
iron trust" being formed to con-
troll the supply and fix the prices
of 65 to Is per cent of the raw ma
terials used by the independent
steel and iron mills of this coun-
try, has been nipped In the bud
by the Department of Justice.
Several months ago. the trust in
vestigators learned that the in
dependent manufacturers, headed
by the Bethlehem Steel Company
and some of,the other large opera
tors, were forming such an agency.
The steel men, it is said, made no
secret Of it and declared they
bought they were doing no wrong.
They were officially advised that
such a selling would be consider
ed a violation of the Sherman anti
trust law and would be prosecuted
as such. The steel men then an
nounced they were willing to
abandon the project and to the
best information of the depart
ment they have done so.

aIFT TO EDITOR DANIELS.

\
during the campaign recently con-
cluded. On Saturday night Of
last week Mr.. Daniels was visited,
in his office, by a large delegation
of representative democrats, head
ed by Chief Justice Walter Clark,
ex-Gov. Chas. B. Aycock, John
w. Thompson, Hon. Richard Bat
tie and others, and presented with
most beautiful silver service
consisting of nine pieces, and bear
ing the inscription:
"Tog
Josephus Daniels
from
Friends and Fellow Democrats Of
North Carolina
In Recognition Of His Loyal,
Courageous and eminent Services,
To His Party and to His State
December 25th, 1910"
Fitting words are these, entire:
ly appropriate to the occasion.
The wisest man said, "A good
name is rather to be chosen than
| great riches.'' Editor Daniels may
never be rich in this world s
goods, but will have -he has al
ready-much to his credit as 10y
al party man and an exemplary
citizen of the grand common
wealth of North Carolina.
The presentation of democra-
cy's Christmas gift was made by
ex-governor Aycock in his usual
leader, no newspaper editor, who
has done more than you for the
Euplift of the State and for its peo-
Eple than you.
eat the close of the memorable
campaign of 1898 I said, and I re
peat it now, that the victory could
have been won without Simmons,
or Craig or Jarvis or the others,
but it could not have been won
without Josephus Daniels.

children to vote, and while the

Ocala all held special and beautiful
Easter services. The day was a per
feet one. and large congregations
were present at every church. The
churches were beautifully decorated
with lovely Easter lilies and other
appropriate flowers, and the various
ministers preached magnificent ser

the day was a glorious one in Ocala
and Easter brought some joy into ev-
cry home.
In the afternoon there was a spe-
cial childrens day Easter program
at Grace Episcopal church, and spe-
cial Easter programs were rendered
by the EpwC nth League, B. Y. P. U.
and Christian Endeavor societies in
the different churches.

some manner and he was thrown from
his wheel several feet in the air. He
fell fiat upon his face, and was stun

also severely cut and scratched in a
number of places. He was picked up
and carried into the home of Mr.. Nc

moned. after which the unfortunate
young man was taken home.

General Geo. B. Loud. who holds an
important rank in the G. A. r., met
on the same platform in the city of
Poughkeepsie with Major Graybill,
holding high rank in the U. c. VS.,
and after the delivery of extremely
patriotic speeches, clasped hands on
the platform and buried all past and
sectional issues. We shall take oc-
casion to quote from both speeches
later on. General Loud visited Ocala
last winter and made many friends
while here.

SCHOOLS VS.. JAILS

There is one idea which should be
impressed upon the minds of our PEG.
ple-the idea that we are spending
far more on the care and punishment
of criminals than we do in the educa-
ton of the young.
For instance, in the last twenty-five
years there have been two jails, and
now third is under construction, all
of them brick buildings. At the low
est estimate, the second Jail cost $751;
900, and the new one is to cost $780,
600. And a new court house, a neces-
sity for the machinery of the law, at
a cost of $4,000.
This is merely an estimate on build
ings.
Now, look at the school buildings in
the same space of time. The county
has built modern structure for the
negroes, of no great value, costing, at
a rough guess, $4,000 For the whites
a brick building for the primary
grades, a $4,000 structure-not yet
paid for. The addition to the high
school building was put up by private
subscription.
Compare the figures in the cost of
buildings. Compare also the number
of people for whom this expenditure is
made In the schools of Ocala, white
and colored, there are between 500
and 1000 pupils enrolled every year.
How many criminals does the Jail
accommodate yearly? One lawyer,
who knows, averages $50 as high es-
innate.
The Ocala High School building has
never been adequate. The county does
not remedy it, but can find funds for a
new Jail, and virtually throw away a
building not twenty years in use, SUI
perior in structure and exceeding in
cost the modern high school building
for white students.
Let wise heads ponder the subject.
There is something wrong in the econ
omy of things when the county is will
ing to spend more on the punishment
of crime than on education, the pre-
ventive of crime.

We though that the cows were bad
enough in Ocala, as here they seem to
limit their depredations TO flower and
vegetable gardens. but a Georgia
newspaper says that in the town in
which it is printed the cows help
themselves to anything to their lik-
ing. One of the merchants complains
that he cannot make an outside dis
play for the COWS, and that they seem
to have a fondness for certain kinds
of wearing apparel.

OUR BANKER-FARMERS

We enjoyed a very delightful auto
mobile drive some days ago with
Messrs. Munroe and Chambliss out to
their farm near the city.
We discovered that the Walter Ray
railroad is completed to the city linn
it's 1t has bought grounds for termi-
nal facilities, and will soon become
live factor in our development.
The road, besides being completed
to Ocala, will also be completed to
Dunnellon, and it is believed will
make some sort of deal with the
Port Inglis railroad. and will give
Ocala an outlet to that port.
The Rentz road "a new one) is
pushing on from Ocala to Palatka
and we have faith in getting the g.
& G. from Fairfield, and is railroads
make a city, Ocala ought quickly to
develop into one, and it is making
quite lively strides in that direction.
Messrs. Munroe & Chambliss are
making preparations for station on
their place for the Ray railroad, and
are anticipating a little settlement
around it, and may become to Ocala
what Ybor is to Tampa,
The farm of Messrs. Munroe &
Chambliss now stretches from the
Shady Grove hard road to Lemon av-
enue, and in round numbers covers an
area of twenty-five hundred acres.
Now, with plows running actively
everywhere, fields upon fields of plow-
ed ground and beautiful woods in the
distance, it presents a panorama that
is most pleasing to the eye.
Mr.. Chambliss remarked that the
farm paid the pay roll and every year
was doing better. Three carloads OF
fine COWS were just shipped down the
east coast, and the local demand is
constantly growing greater.
We were shown some hogs that
were almost as big as bears. Visitors
from Illinois and Kansas say that
these animals would compete for hon
ors at their state fairs, and here they
are made to support themselves-not
a peck of stuff has been fed to them.
The way they were tunneling the
earth it looked like it was root hog
or die" with them. but their immense
size showed that they were not root
ing in vain. Mr.. Chambliss said that
the largest one would weigh fully six
hundred pounds.
The Palmetto Farm is a big adver-
tisement for Marion county, for it
shows not only the possibilities but
the actualities of our soil, and all we
claim for this section is here fully
demonstrated.
Here we find fine cattle, fine hogs
land plenty of fine stuff to feed them
on.
Messrs. Munroe & Chambliss plant
successfully cantaloupes, watermel-
ons, velvet beans, sweet and Irish po-
tatoes, tomatoes, cabbage, and all the
staple crops. and make a success of
everything they touch.
If you want to see the possibilities
of Marion county visit the Palmetto
Farm-it is almost within a stones
throw of the city.-Ocala Banner,
April, 1910.
