Francis Wilson, the actor, tells the
| following story on John Mason:
Wilson, having spent several sum-
mers at a small hotel in Vermont, ad-
vised Mason, who was in search OF
quiet place for rest, TO go there, tell
ing the proprietor that he was Will
sons friend. Mason arrived at the
small town and made his way to the
! inn. He found the proprietor sitting
on the front porch, with his chair tip
ped, smoking a corncob pipe.

mine, Mr.. Francis Wilson,
The landlord, quite unconcerned,
kept on smoking. Thinking he might
be deaf, the newcomer started again,
somewhat louder, 81 am Mr.. Mason; !;

mine, Francis Wilson," Still no re-
sponse. Convinced of his deafness,
Mr.. Mason began once more. II say, y

The Crouch.

He wears no simulated smile
At every time and place,
Sometimes you see ior half a n,.is
The frown upon his face;
He isn't much on shaking hands,
His manners sharp and short,
In fact, be scarcely understands
The way to be sport!
asIssss!e5ssseasss
He very seldom buys drink
Or blows the bunca for smokes;
He seems to want to spend his chlnk
Upon his wife and folks;
The merry grafters call him 'close, "
The lushers say he's 'tight;;"
They dub him grouehy, sour, morose,
And doubtless they are right!
''7zs''''sF'''s*s@"'"' =
But when you're broke, and need a
friend,
: Why, he's right there, you bet!
He'll stick right with you to the end,
Through trouble, woe and debt;
HE'LL eswear at you most heartily
(But stake you when you're fat);
It's pretty good, it seems to me,
To have a friend like that!
He loves his children and his wife
And though his face is grim,
And though he doesn't grin through
life,
His friends all swear by him;
His workers love his very froWn;
And for his goodness vouch;
And-well, I'll let you put me down
As one who loves The Crouch!

Broad river bridge.

IA CctN ~ N1 MI Wv"
| want to say here that when Oh!
man Langford builds a road he builds
good one. From Chaplin down to
Spring Hill he has built q good road
and then he skips about seven miles.
| When you leave the good road and
strike where there has been no WORK
you feel like you have suddanly heen
trarsplanted from a highly civilized
community into barbarism. The ap-
pearance of the country IS entirely
different. This Spring Hill road fur
nishes most striking example Of the
Improvement Of the country by the
building of a road. The new road OF
course is a little rough but if it is
given any sort of attention when it 'S
settled good it will be fine road. The
road bed is there upon Whic!, to build.
And it could be done all the way from
Chaplin to Columbia.
From Little Mountain to Chapia the
road should be relocated nearly all thu
way so as to avoid the railroad cross
ings and not go perpenJ;cu!arly up
and down the high hills. If that is
done and the other link built there will
be a fine road from the Lexington line
to Columbia.
Of course. Newberry is now building g
just such road to the Lexington line.
We are going to cut out all railroad
crossings and have a beautiful and
perfectly safe road. The distance from
Newberry to Columbia via Spring Hill
is A miles. ',~
We came back via Lexington. Had
an elegant breakfast .t the Meetze ho-
tel. The road from Columbia to Lex
ington is good, but it seems that the
sand and clay in some places have not
been mixed in the proper proportion
as the road is working in holes. From
Lexington to the river the road is good
and over the river is fine steel bridge
and one of the best pieces of work in
construction of approaches ever done
by county in this State. The remain
der of the road to Chaplin has probably
net been worked in a quarter of GEN.
tury and still it is in very good shape.
The distance by this route is 4S miles.
The Spring Hill route is the better
one if that stretch of some seven or
eight miles were put in proper condi-
toa. q !&sAiAa
When one travels over some of the
roads that have been worked by the
chain gangs of the various counties
and sees how the people neglect to
give any attention to the up-kep of
the road one is almost forced to the
conclusion that the people do not want
improved roads. If the newly worked
road is not given attention it is a
matter of very short time before the
last condition of that road is worse
than the first.
You will pardon me for saying so
much about the roads but / just can
not help it. A good road is, an evi-
dence of intelligence, of progress, of
civilization, Of everything that stands
for what is best and highest and tru-
est. I am for better roads and I am
not a latter day convert, i

HON. S. M. SPARKMAN

Congressman Stephen NJ. Spark
man of Tampa paid his Ocala friends
visit Saturday and they were glad
TO meet him. He is almost, if not
quite, as popular in Ocala as he is in
Tampa, and in all probability will get
larger ratio of votes.
Having been a representative for
sixteen years, Mr.. Sparkman was anx-
ious to lay aside the cares and re-
sponsibilities of public office and re-
tire to the shades of private life and
enjoy the domestic comforts which
appeal so strongly to one of his tenn
permanent, but his friends would have
none of it, and at large public gath
ering commissioned him to enter the
race for reelection.
Mr.. Sparkman is chairman of the
rivers and harbors committee, and by
virtue of his office he is required to
visit certain rivers, and will be kept
busy until congress convenes, as the
responsibility of the bill to be pre-
sented to the next congress devolves
on him, and he is depending largely
upon his friends to make his canvass
for him, which they are quite willing
to do.
Mr.. Sparkman says thta he is on
record as being one of the earliest ad-
vocates of government aid for good
roads; that it is a part and parcel of
the last democratic platform, and
that there is no plank in the platform
that he will support more earnestly,
enthusiastically and conscientiously.
We know that these utterances will
strengthen him with the voters of the
interior, and that they will support
him more sincerely and enthusiastic
ally than ever.
Mr.. Sparkman left for his home on
the night train.

JUSTICE PARkHILL'S EXAMPLE

Supreme Court Justice Charles
Parkhill, in announcing that he would
resign his office January /, in order
to become a candidate for Congress
from the third district against Hon.
D. H. Mayes, sets an example that
is we'll worth emulation upon the
part of officeholders who, while con-
tinuing to draw salaries from the
state, spend several months immersed
in campaign work.
The political attitude of I'll cling
to what I've got and grab some
thing else while drawing full pay
from the state" is not laudable
one, to say the least. However, can
didates for various offices in every
part of Florida are doing and will
continue to do this very thing until
the close of the primaries next spring.
While candidates are discussing re-
form in it's every conceivable phase
it would not be amiss to take up this
important subject and follow Justice
Parkhills example.-Tallahass True
Democrat.

THE NUISANCE OF THE AUTO
HORN

In cities where there is as much
traffic as there is in Pensacola there
is need of an efficient warning signal
on automobiles for public safety, yet
the abuse of the signal is a public
nuisance, and ii. must be stopped.
Someone suggests an ordinance of a
few words, yet one which cannot be
misunderstood, as follows:
Every automobile, motor vehicle
or motorcycle shall be provided with
an adequate signal device; and it
shall be unlawful for any person OPP
Grating any automobile, motor vehicle
or motorcycle to use such device eX-
cept as a warning of danger. Pen

VAUDEVILLE IN THE PULPIT

Under the above heading the Wash.
ington Post says:
"The difference between American
and Chinese women is that Chinese
women wear trousers with two legs,
while here the women wear one-leg-
ged trousers.
"An excellent jest, indeed; vulgar,
of course, and full of exaggeration, as
American humor usually is Who is
the author of it-a vaudeville artist, a
gay old sport or a minister of the
gospel?
1T was the last-named. An Allan
ia clergyman is credited with the bon
mot, and he chose the pulpit for his
place of speech.
''If clergymen do not relish being
classed with vaudeville artists and
gay old sports, why do they invite
the classification? What is the diff
ference, when they give out risque
and vulgar sayings from the pulpit?
1T is such utterances as this that
cheaper the ministry and tend to
make a mockery of holy things What
is OF be expected of the sons of dark
ness if the children of light use the
pulpit for ribald monologues? AS
sensational, foolish and vulgar utter
ances from the pulpit increase, is it
any wonder that reverence for the
church disappears and respect for
minister's is on the Wana2n

women began in Kentucky in the
school law of 1888, when Kentucky
men conferred the school suffrage on
a limited class of women. This was

Charta was promulgated at the Sen

MUST STATE PAY CAMPAIGN Elk
PENSES

Resign before running" is the de-
mand of fair-minded FlOridians to At
torney General Trammell, who seeks
to be governor; to r. Hudson Burr,
chairman of state railroad commits
sion, who aspires to congressional hon
ors from this district, and to States
Attorney Phillips, who wishes to re
place Congressman Sparkman of the
first district.
If these gentlemen continue to draw
their salaries while making a cam
paign of at least four months, draw
ing their salaries throughout the pc
riod, the tax payers will be paying
their campaign expenses, to a consid-
cradle extent. This would be unfair
to the state and to other candidates
aspiring to the offices mentioned.
What will you do, gentlemen? Will
YOU resign or continue to draw your
salary while touring the state for
months?
Should Mr.. Burr possibly be nomi-
mated, his continuance in the office CT
chairman of the railroad commission
would necessitate a special election,
if the people are allowed to express
their views, when he goes to Wash
ington.
Will he resign and prevent the ne
cessity of this election?
Throughout Florida the people are
anxiously awaiting answers to these
queries ?-Jacksonville Metropolis.

A NEW LABoR-sAvINe DEVICE

Marion county farmers are nothing
if not up to date, they having learned
that improved machinery is absolute
ly essential in their operations, and
are always looking for the latest. Mr..
B. E. Raysor, one of the prosperous
farmers in the Martin section, mas
just had installed an International
Harvester Company peanut picker.
Mr. Raysor will use this machine in
harvesting about 100 acres of as fine
peanuts as were ever grown in the
county. The machine does the work
of any number of hands, does it easily
and thoroughly and is not long in &C
complishing the task. When the ma
chine is in operation the peanuts roll
out on one side and the vines come
out on the other side, which is given
up to be the finest hay on the market.
Mr.. Raysor says that the hay looks
good enough to eat" and all who
have seen it agree with him.
