They went to the counter and Mr..

The name A. I. STEWART is
remembered by everybody in
America and always will be. He
was a great merchant, and it is
because he was both great and
HONEST that he is remem-
bered.
How about statesmen and
saleswomen who are taught not

to lie about the QUALITY and
PRICE of the merchandise they
sell?
Wouldn't it be just as well for
modern merchants to follow in

We do not believe that conscious
self-interest controls the greater num-
Der OF American newspapers in this
matter. Rather, we think that they
have accepted q right principle and
have given to II cordial support re-
gardless of the material advantage
which the passage OF the measure
would be to the newspapers.
But we are convinced. also. that
few OF the newspapers have careful
ly analysed the proposed reciprocity
agreement or realize that, in this
case, the right principle Is perverted.
III the newspapers understood this,
they would not lend their support to
the passing OF law which 10 such a

Though we impute no wrong mo-
tives to the newspapers which still
are supporting the original Taft reci-
procity agreement and opposing ev-

visions for the benefit Of the consum-
er, we must assert that their posi-
ton is most unfortunate for the news

II Is unfortunate that the general
public knows that the only provision
of the bill which does not help spe-
cial interest at the expense of the
producer or the consumer Is the one
relating to paper. The public knows
that every newspaper will benefit by
the adoption of the reciprocity bill.
These benefits will be shared by all
newspapers. from the little country
weekly to the gigantic Hearst COM
bination, whose savings under the
reciprocity schedule are estimated at
$4,000 annually.

THINK FOR THE HORSES.

Lest We forget. let us speak once
more about the proper care OF horses
In the summer time.
The primary point 10 be kept In
mind Is that horses are subject to q
variety of ailments-and they cannot
always make their symptoms known.
The horses stomach. and lungs, and
eyes. and ears. and kidneys and other
ments, or TO partial or complete i'm
pairment. But until the malady.
whatever II may be. has developed
fully, the driver may remain In ig-
norance Of the true conditions.
The horse may ind himself some
morning, upon being taken out OF his
stall. unable to see quite clearly.
Nevertheless he is put into his har-
ness, his head Is checked back, and
he has the merciless glare OF the sun
on his over-wearied eyes all day.
After few months II Is discovered
that the horse is blind; and the team
ster is sorry-for now the animal
would not sell for so good price.
Similarly, the day may be begun
with other incipient ailments: and In
the course OF a month or two there
comes a sudden failure. The horse
falls down on the street. or he IL un-
able to arise In his stall.
II is, perhaps, impossible to foresee
many OF the ailments to which the
horse Is subject. But perfectly sim.
pie rule, followed In the months or
greatest heat, will result In prolong-
ing many a horses life and useful
ness. The horse feels the heat. just
as a man does. His labors should be
lessened; he should be permitted to
take his time.
Fhe horse eaHnet state his case;
the teamster must think and act for
him.-St. Louis Times.

Ocala, Fla, Nov. IA, 1911.
City Council of Ocala, Ocala, Fla:
Gentlemen-On the 21st of March,
1911, we wrote you and offered to sell
to the city Of Ocala electric current
at cents per K. w. hour. We were
then requested to allow you three or
four months in which to decide
whether you wanted to buy current
or not.
AS a little over seven months has
elapsed, and one of the electric light
committee told us a few days ago
that it would still require three or
four months to determine if you wish
ed to buy this current, we herewith
withdraw our proposition made you
on above date.
Yours truly,

Mr.. w. r. CARTER

Mr.. W. r. Carter, editor of the Jack
sonville Metropolis, got up out OF a
sick bed to join the Glidden tour. He
went up to New York on the Mohawk
and gained in strength daily. He had
not eaten anything for week, not
even gruers, but the first day out his
appetite returned to him and no sailor
could have eaten more heartily. When
he reached New York he had gained
several pounds and was able to hold
his own with the youngest men in
the procession. Like Uncle Joe''
Cannon, the only thing that he con-
planned about was what to do with
himself between midnight and bed
time"
When the automobile tour started
he was in line, and did not feel the
least Inconvenience from the trip, but
continued to gain in strength and rug
gedness, and since resuming his place
in the editorial chair of the Metro2o-
lis that paper has undergone a meta
morphosis, and its editorial page is
now more quoted from than any other
newspaper in Florida.
We note the same with a great deal
of pleasure.

Outwits Stern Parents and Makes
Two Hearts Beat as One
A Brooksville special to the Tampa
Times says that Cupid got by parent
al objections there on Monday, and a
romantic wedding resulted, with Miss
Bette Frierson and DR.. Lee Cook as
principals. Cupid and the young cou-
pie had the aid of C. M. Price and an
automobile.
The young lady, who is daughter
of Rev and Mrs. J. D. Frierson, went
out during the afternoon, ostensibly
for a visit to friends. She did not
return, and it later developed that she
met DR.. Cook and Mr.. Price in an
auto and the party drove quickly to
Dade City, where Miss Frierson and
DR.. Cook were married. They took
the train at Dade City for northern
points, where they will spend their
honeymoon. 1t is presumed that
Rev. and Mrs. Frierson will forgive
them and extend paternal blessings.
They were notified from Dade City Of
the marriage of the young couple.
The bride is a very popular young
lady. DR.. Cook is a dentist with a
good practice.

BOOSTING FLORIDA

The Florida East Coast Railway
has page advertisement in the Man
ufacturer's Record OF Baltimore which
tells pretty, but different, story ev-
cry week. The advertisement in he
last issue told of the states trans
Sportation facilities as follows:
Railroad building is typical of
business advancement, and what Flor
ida is doing in this respect is worthy
of note.
''In 1880 Florida had only 518 miles
of railroad
LAS late as 1900 it had 273S miles.
cat the present time it has nearly
5000 miles of completed road, with
many new lines under construction,
while existing roads are in many di-
rections pushing out branch lines.
Added to Florida's railroad mile
age, the state is peculiarly located
with relation to water transportation.
1T has 1900 miles of ocean and gulf
frontage-more than any other state
in the Union.
1T also has 1175 miles of navigable
Waterways within it's boundaries.
"a state which is drawing an ever
increasing number of health and
pleasure seekers, of permanent set
tlers-some to engage in general agri-
culture, some i'll manufactures, some
in fruit growing-oranges grapefruit

Martel, Fla, Nov IA, 1911.
Special to the Ocala Banner:
Mr.. J. L. B. Hudgens while on his
way to Martel this a. m. found a
negro lying by the road dead. The
negro was employed by the Clark Ray
Johnson Co., in scraping turpentine
near the road on which he was found
and was seen early this a. m. going
out to his work about a mile away.
From all indications it seems as if
he had met with foul play as there
were blood stains on his clothing and
for some distance into the boxes
from where he had left his scrape
box and started to the road.
Mr.. Hudgens being an officer i'm
mediately summoned Mr.. Ausley, j.

victim of tuberculosis and while
scraping the pine tree alluded to
above was seized with a hemorrhage

reach the road where he could per-
haps get help but died where he was
found.-Ed. Banner.)
