WHEN A MAN DIES,

The death of Joseph Pulitzer, pro-
evietor Of the New York World, and OF
Carroll Wright. one of the leading at
torneys and lawyer politicians Of Iowa,
were announced by the newspapers
Yesterday. These were notable men.
Pulitzer against apparently insupera-
BILE difficulties had made himself
great force in American life and mad
attained the American dream Of mil
lions many times over. Wright had
been a strong lawyer among strong
lawyers, had had his Warwickian hour
in politics and was success IN MS
vav as Pulitzer in his. Each filled
place which those who depended upon
him and cared for him feel can not be
filled Both were strong men. usetul
men in their way. powerful in their Diff
serent environments
But mark the little part OF any life
in the world. That the TWO men were
dead who represented heavy interests
merely ruffled the current OF the day.
It did not dam the current of affairs
The Rock Island railr cad went on its
routine unchanged The presses of
the New York W Grid whrled as before
There were no physical evidences that
enc man or many men had died the
day before. The busy world buzzed
and throbbed with activity and each
one as before pursued his "favorite
phantom" There were tears and deep
regrets. Two little eddys in thu cur
rent of human life appeared where
two groups Of relatives and friends
checked and turned aside TO bury their
own. Perhaps they differed slightly in
size from the innumerable eddies which
whirl in little whirlpools Of loss all
over the face Of the earth where men
live and die daily but that was all. The
mighty flood of living interests rolled
on and the little ripples Of the day
were as they had never been.
Let US not find fault with the world
that it refuses 10 wait by grave that
is filled. 1t Is better than unavailing
grief There is work to do and the
living must do it. The dead are dead
and let no man magnify his own i'm
portance to the world. One, two, ten or
ten thousand it scarce misses him to-
day and not at all tomorrow. A new

had allowed all the facts to become

THE LACK BRAIN AUTOIST.
Shenandoah World.

We suppose if the little Field girl
had been killed instead Of just being
manned and broken and not quite
killed, that the authorities would wake
up and start some drastic measure to
regulate the auto speeders In Shenan-
doah. There is no use appealing to
the drivers themselves. There about
half dozen men ard boys who drive
automobiles around Shenandoah who
are lacking, inasinuch as they haven't
anything to appeal to. Some Of them
haven't brains enough to realize the
danger they are to the community: the
others haven't respect enough for feel
ing OF any kind to care. These fools
and maniacs must have something
drastic and far reaching to reach them.

SOME CABBAGE

The editor Of the Star is in receipt
of four head of cabbage from Mr.. j. Z.
Curington of Coleman and the names
of the growers and weight of heads
runs as follows: Rev. w. l. Buchanan,
one head weighing 1914 pounds; Sher-
man Ruffin, one head 10 pounds and
one head. 10A pounds The last two
oune head, 10A pounds. The last two
growers are colored truckers.
The lands on which they were grown
are northwest of Coleman and known
as the Monarch Hammock, lying south
of the great Monarch orange grove,
owned by Mr.. King of Cleveland. The
land Is owned by Messrs. J. E. and t.
v. Curington, prosperous farmers and
truckers of Coleman, and the cabbage
crops were grown without particle
of irrigation which, considering the
dry season, Is remarkable and shows
the favorable condition of the soil for
the product.
Quite a large tract of this land has
only recently been put into cultiva-
tion and it's productiveness has DEM
onstrated ii Is equal in all essentials
to the famous Warm Springs lands

lying a short distance east of Cole

ers.
The Star congratulates the Messrs
Curington on their goodly possessions
and wishes them continued success as
factors in the progress and prosperity
of Coleman. OF course, our thanks are
due these kind gentlemen for their
generosity and the same are hereby
rendered.
The Ocala evening star., 1911-04-03

The editor of the Star takes this
method OF extending hearty and CRATE
full thanks to Mr.. Mahlon Gore Of Or
lafldo, for valued suggestions that the
editor will use in his talk to the state
press association, which meets in Tai
lahassee April gath to 27th, about the
duty and necessity of the state max
ing appropriations foEA campaign of
publicity, the desirability of Florida in
climate and soil for home seekers. Mr..
Gore not SO many years ago was the
accomplished editor and owner of the
Orlando Reporter, one of the pioneer
papers of Orange county and which he
conducted with great success for many
years, ere departing from the field of
Journalism. Mr.. Gore, in the quarter of
a century we have known him, took
great interest in promoting the mater
ial success of his section and the state
and we remember him pleasantly as
one Of the Florida editors who took a
deep personal interest in the success
Of the sub-tropical exposition which
was held in Oca1a during the years of
I889-90-91, and with pen and voice aid
ed it's successful display, the best ever
made In the state. Mr.. Gore is now
devoting his time to cultivating his
beautiful and productive orange grove
located on Lake Conway, near the city
of Orlando and Notwithstanding his
advanced years has lost none of the
interest he has always shown in ad-
vancing the interests of his section and
OF Florida. AS a retired editor he still
retains the good will of the press gang
of the state, which in years past he did
much to promote. Here is hoping
many years will be spared him to con-
tinue the good work he has always
done for his adopted section.

BURBANK DESIRES
TO RETAIN vERDENIUs

Editor Star: Considerable discus
sion is caused these days in the little
village of Burbank and surrounding
country by a rumor that the New
South Farm and Home Company con-
templates removing Mr.. Thomas 4.
Verdenius from the position he at
present occupies as treasurer OF the
company.
The matter has even gone so far as
TO call for petition from the indiv-
idual settlers and it is understood
that the Burbank Truck and Fruit
Growers Association has taken the
matter up personally with Mr.. Seig.
president with the company, with the
object of retaining Mr.. Verdenius in
his position.
Since holding office this gentleman
has endeared himself in the good will
of the settlers all over the country by
his fair and impartial dealings as rep
resentative or his company and the
settlers are 10th to have him leave
them at the most critical time OF the
colony's development, as they claim
that although he has placed the af-
fairs Of the colony on a much firmer
basis than it had hitherto enjoyed. yet
they desire him to be with them to
help reap the fruits Of his and their
labor.
The departure of Mr.. Verdenius and
his lovely family at this time viii
prove an irreparable loss TO the COM
munity, for whose benefit and ad-
vancement he has worked strenu-
ously and we sincerely hope that Mr.
Seig will consider the matter in all its
essential details before making any
such change A. c. Kirck
