BETTER TO BE BORN LUCKY
THAN RICH

The following piece of good luck, OF
the horseshoe variety comes from
Chill:
For 1925 a plebian bought the
foundation of an old house in Putu
near Constitution From this insig.
nificant act there results an impor
tant discovery of gold. AS the man
grubbed out the stones from the
earth his attention was attracted to
the yellow specks in one of them
He found it contained an extraordin-
arily large proportion of gold.
He inquired as to whence the
stones originally came and finally
traced them to a hill in the vicinity
There he found in the slope a vein
of gold bearing rock, from small
portion of which in the course of a
weeks work he and a couple of
friends extracted $4,000 worth OF
gold. A company has now been form
ed whit capital of 100000 to open
up the vein and determine it's true
value. The geological formation is

GRAPEFRUIT AND ORANGES ARE
GOOD

James E. Roach, commercial agent

of grapefruit and oranges of which
were remarkable for this season of
the year, being highly colored and
splendid eating. Mr.. Ratch said:
Shipments are beginning to move,
and grapefruit is bringing fancy pric-

NOBODY LOVES A MILLIONAIRE

Mr.. Eugene Zimmerman of Cincin-
natii, who has just returned from a
visit to his son-in-law, the Duke of
Manchester, is reported to have said
to New York reporters on landing:
Nobody loves a millionaire any
more. Once millionaires were the
popular heroes of the nation, the
brilliant examples set up for youth
to follow, but now everybody is
throw bricks or making laws aimed
at the rich.
"The millionaire, following the in
stinct of self-protection, has taken a
seat or is trying to take a seat very
far back. Really it's awful. The mil
lionaire dasn't show his head in
governmental affairs any more, for
somebody is around ready to throw
something. All he can do these days
is vote.
Us a millionaire sent to the senate
Well, right off somebody accuses him
of buying his seat. is ne given d
cabinet position? Well, well, no presi-
dent dare do such a thing if he val
ues his political life.
"a millionaire has no chance any
more. Instead of sending successful
men of affairs to Washington and to
our state legislators to make our laws
we are sending men who couldn't run
a peanut stand How can we expect
men who never were prosperous
themselves to make laws that will
make the country prosperous? The
corporations are being hampered by
too much legislation and too much
speechmaking.

WILL Celebrate COMP, Er,on
OF MARION COUNTY. JAIL

ed that when the new Marion COUNT,
jail should have been completed tb;s
simportant event would be dnlv oo,o
brated with big barbecue. Snaal,
ing OF this coming celebration Sim
Aday's Tampa Tribune says.
Joyous because the worst ia;, h,ns
in the county will have slim chance
vto fly the coop, happy Ocalans will
soon celebrate the completion of their
new Marion county Jail with no+b;nr.
less than a barbecue ARRANGEMENTS
for the occasion are now being nor
fected. The barbecue will he nulled
off in grand style within the newt fou,
weeks.
"One OF the strongest and most Sc
cure In the country, the Ocala iail is
the most modern and I'M IN date in
the whole state. 1t was erected at a
cost OF $4,000. The floors are of
concrete and steel, making it imnos-
sible for prisoners to tunnel their
way out, as has been done in some
desperate instances. The steel cages
Ware of the best metal with a strain
of soft iron, and then a strata of the
hardest steel, and because of the ma
ture of the metal it will be impossible
for the prisoners to saw their way
out, or for mobs to break the bars
with a sledge hammer. To put the
Jail to thorough test before it was
Sformally turned over to the county
commissioners, an expert machinist
was locked in cell, given all the
drills, saws and files he wanted. and
allowed twenty-four hours to saw or
drill his way out.
THE machinist was locked up one
evening just before quitting time.
He started to work with a file. After
filing away thirty minutes, his instru-
A ment made such a deep gap that he
Thought it would be no trouble to get
sSut. So he sent a fellow into the
fine saws. Trying the saws next, he
struck the strata of hard steel With
single swipe all teeth were ground
off. He tried another, with the SAME
result
Finding that he had struck a hard
strata of Steel the machinist resolved
upon a desperate way to temper it.
He drew from his pocket a vial of
acid. But since the contract does not
allow the use of acids or electricity,
representative of the Pauly Jail
Company quickly put stop to the
use of acid After trying for twenty
four hours, and running several saws,
. the man failed to make a delivery.
Francis J. Kennard, the Tampa ar
chitect who drew the plans, was in
Ocala while the tests were going on.
sThe representative of the Pauly Jail
= Company engaged him in converse.
ton as to why these jail-breaking
tests were necessary.
"He gave a number of instances OF
daring jail-breaking. In the middle
west, he said, an expert machinist
had gotten hold of a pair of steel cor.
set ribs, from which he made saws
Although he failed to make a delivery
he had several bars sawed when dis
covered by the prison warden. An
other man, by making threads from
his clothing and using grit, succeeded
after several years effort in wearing
apart several bars in the backsof his
cell.
"But in the Ocala Jail, it was point
ed out, the freedom-craving Jail bird
will have a slim chance to break out
1t is little wonder that the citizens OF
Marion county will rejoice over a
prison so secure"
