To the Editor Ocala Banner:
l have just read Mr.. Harris speech
on Labor Day." 1t fills my heart
with joy. He answered all questions
from heaven to earth. The power of
God was with him when he delivered
this message. This calls me back to
my dear old home, where 1 once
heard Governor Bankhead of Ala
bama speak. Mr.. Harris could be
the father or grandfather, or even a
step-father of any state, or the father
of all states. | do not believe there
is a man, from east to west, who
could have delivered message that
would have gone into the hearts of
men as this has done. A man that
can speak like Mr. Harris, with such
a great understanding and with
heart so full of grace and truth
should be a beacon light for the
world. Thank God for a man who
can speak the truth from his heart;
may his voice fly through the world
as the lightning flashes through the
space above. This should make ev-
cry laboring man sing Nearer, My
God, to Thee"
Dear people, our bodies and our
newspapers may fade away, but the
thought of that speech will remain
forever. That speech will ride the
waves; it will ride the tides, and land
you safely on the other shore. AS
we walk through the green fields at
harvest time, may the Reaper bind
us all closer together.
With best regards to Mr.. Harris,
the Ocala Banner and it's many read
ers, I remain,
Yours respectfully,

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
The Banner still waves over our
land It's Saturday evening visits
are eagerly looked forward to, and as
, it comes in late, one may see our
lamp-lights shining on Saturday
nights until late hour.
am glad to see the stand you and
Mr. Carney take on the game law.
Save the game, as much as possible,
for home folks and those who have
raised it. Bar the automatic guns
and eliminate the pointer dog. If this
is old-fogyism, am an old fogy. We
have some game in these parts of Ma
rion, but just as soon as it was
thought that the season for hunting
was open, crowds rushed from Lake
county into the scrub and began
slaughtering and manning the deer
and killing the squirrels. The quail
seemed Sighted suppose they
were to be shot after the larger game
had been killed, or run off.
There should be radical change
in our game law, and don't know
of a better plan than to eliminate the
dog and automatic gun from the field
So, Mr.. Harris, you are to take the
grand trip from New York to jack
sonville with Mr.. Richard Hall in his
handsome new Cadillac car. Then,
| TO think of the honor-domiciled in
the bridal chamber of the Mohawk,
one of the grandest boats of the
Clyde Line. Truly, It's better to be
born lucky than rich. Then, when
YOU take your seat as governor, that
will be the greatest honor of all.
