James Burnio Books Story OF the
Speech That Resulted In the Great
kentueklan's Return to
tho Senate.

James Burnie Beck, who represent
ed the state OF Kentucky in the Unit
cd States senate from 1876 until his
death in 1890. and was a member of
the house OF representatives from
1856 to 1874, was man OF impressive
personality. He WIS OF powerful phys
lcal build. His muscles were like
steel His head, large. round, and set
firmly upon his shoulders. was sur
mounted by curly iron-gray hair. In
the senate Mr. Beck was recognized
as an authority upon the tariff and
financial qp>stions. but in the cloak
room or In private company he was
the centef OF interest chiefly because
OF his rs.ollections OF the early politi-
cal ltta Of Kentucky and OF Henry
Clay told with real dramatic force
AID no little skill of description.
Many times saw Henry Clay while
q political canvass was in progress In
Kentucky" said Mr.. Beck, who had
been a law partner Of John c. Breck-
inridge, the south's presidential candi-
date in 1860 and vice-president during
Buchanan's administration. Il prac-
ticed law for some years at Lexington
SO that l had abundant opportunity
to see and hear Mr.. Clay. He was al
ways a very effective speaker. but we
all noticed that in the latter years OF
his public life he seemed to have a
greater influence over young men than
with men of his own age who had
been prominent in the Whig party.
But the finest exhibition of his pow
ers as a campaigner which Mr.. Clay
ever made. so far as my personal OBJ
servations were concerned, occurred
in 1S4s, between the time he was de-
feated by Zachary Taylor for the Whig
presidential nomination and his re-
the fall of that year.
CLAY lost the presidential nomina-
ton that year partls because the Ken
lucky Wing leaders would not cause
the state delegation to support his
nomination. Clay was furious at their
action, and as result these Wings
set out to defeat Clay's reelection to
the senate.
That move aroused the old lion
That was in Clay. He determined to
give the Whig leaders the fight OF
their lives; and in line with this de-
termination there appeared one day in
the Louisville Courier Journal an ad-
vertisement to the effect that Henry
Clay would address the citizens of
Kentucky on the public square at Lex
ington a certain date upon the issues
of the day. This happened shortly
before the legislature which was to
choose a senator was to be elected.
We'll, this brief advertisement was
enough to set the state wild with. ex-

1ou James Parton Came to Write the
knecdotal Life Of Horace
Greeley, Which Was
His First Book.

One of the most popular OF Amer
>can biographers of yesterday was
James Parton, name that To-Day
means little or nothing in literature
to the average American. But there
was a time-in the late f1fties and
through the sixties OF the last cen
tury-when James Parton's Lie Oh
Horace Greeley" his General Butter
In New Orleans" his life OF Andrew
Jackson and his life OF Benjamin
Franklin were read and discussed IN
thousands of American households
IN the sense that his works nave
had a larger popular sale than those
of any other American biographer, l
think am safe in saying that Parton
is the most popular OF all his reno"
biographers, said Henry b. stanton
husband of Elizabeth Cady Stanton
the woman's rights pioneer. ana mt
mate friend of Parton's for years. ana
himself well-known as an anti-siaYery
advocate and newspaper editor. And
do YOU know" continued Mr.. Stanton
ut is all due to one little idea that
Mr.. Parton enjoys the reputation tha'
is his today" The year was 1877.
Parton first engaged in Journals
tic work, taking a position on the
Home Journal, the paper which Ma
thaniel p. Will. founded in lS4o.
Here he worked for a number OF
years. Then, one day. as matter
of office routine he read some quantity
humorous stories OF Horace Greeley
life both as an editor and as poll
tician. He had observed that every
thing that was written about Greeley
was eagerly read by the people. and
Instantly, on reading these stories'
the thought popped into Parton's
mind that If any one were to write
life of Greeley, telling all the anec-
dotes possible about Greeley's boy
hood his early struggles and of those
days when Greeley was tramp print
er the book ought to become very
popular.
"The more Parton thought about
this idea the more p suaded he De-
came that here lay great opportuni-
~ for some writer to make a reputa-
tion and. probably. a fortune. Finally
the idea forcing him on. he laid a plan

LAKE ASKS MARION TO
SUPPLY MISSING LINK

The Star prints in another column a
communication from Mr.. B. F. Watts.
prominent business man Of Leesburg
and member Of the Laks county board
of county commissioners, calling on
Marion county to supply the missing
link in the road between Ocala and
Leesburg.
AS will be seen by the following
reproduced from the Star Of last Tues
day. there is reason to believe work
on this section Of the road will soon
commence:
Marion county has pledged her word
to Lake county that she would build
the short gap of hard road from North
Lake Weir to Conani, a distance of
about seven miles, and thus connect
the splendid hard road system of sew
eral counties, and harden the worst
piece of road in the state.
I'VE understand the program laid
out by the new board in January was
that as soon as Mr.. Henry Gordon with
his gang of convicts had finished the
piece of hard road at Mcintosh and
moved on to the Dunnellon end of the
Ocala and Dunnellon hard road. and
Mr. Priest had finished certain repairs
on the roads near Ocala, and a short
piece of hard road through Marshal
Swamp. Mr. Priest would be sent to
North Lake with instructions to push
this piece of road around the north
and east side of the lake to Conant.
The Star will do it's best to keep the
commissioners of this county from
forgetting their obligation in the mat
ter. At their recent meeting, they
passed the following resolution:
ION motion of Commissioner Hender-
son it was ordered that as soon as we
can get prison van delivered Marion
county that the convicts be moved tc
the Dunnellon road in commissioners
district No. %
The heaviest travel in the county is
over the road to Dunnellon, and OF
course it should be attended to first
After that, business and justice de-
mand that the Lake county highway
be put in good shape.

A MARION COUNTY GROVE

The Fruit Growers Bulletin, issued
by Mr.. W. b. Powell. secretary of the
Tampa Board of Trade, has the fol-
lowing about a big orange grove at
Lake Weir:
"Mr. w. B. Gray, of Tampa, manager
of the Carney Investment Company 5
grove near Ocala says: For the past
two years we have shipped through
the Florida Citrus Exchange. Last
year our output was 10000 boxes, and
the average price per box was s1.64 :
$1.18 on the trees, or a clear net profit
of ~ cents per box. If the growers
will come together they will not come
into competition with each other and
thus command higher prices for their
fruit"

ZIG FIRE At LAKELAND
Christina Phosphate Plant Lost Hum
dred Thousand Dollars

Lakeland, July 1.-One hundred
thousand dollars in damages was the
result of fire which destroyed seven
teen of the buildings of the Christina
phosphate mines here yesterday. The
fire originated in the engine room Of
the mining plant and wiped out the
building before it could be checked by
the workmen.
A leaky oil valve in the engine room
is said to have been responsible for
the blaze. The railroad elevator was
burned as well as practically all OF the
other structures at the mill which
were all built of wood. The company
is the property of northern capitalists.
