TORN UP
Old Spur Track In Tenth Street
Is Being Removed
By City.

Under the orders Of the city coun-
Gil the spur track Of the I. c. Rail
road on Tenth street extending half
way to Main street, has been torn
up and the street is being regarded
and remetaled with macadam re-
moved from Ninth Street by the
Southern Bitulithic Co. This track
was originally laid for the benefit Of
Ragsdale. Cooper & Co. under per-
NIT March A. 1892. and was ordered
removed at the end Of 20 years.
For several months it had not been
used by the railroad, as it was cover
ed up during the construction of a
sewer alongside the track. 1t is
probable that the City Council will
give the road permission to replace
the track between its present tracks
and the river. The improvement on
Tenth street also calls for a concrete
walk on both sides. which will make
another attractive approach to the
/. C. depot and the river front.

According to a Hopkinsville cor
respondent a concrete dam recently
built across Little River. which runs
Through Hopkinsville, has made that
stream a popular bathing pace. So
ciety has taken to the waters of Lit
tile River like the proverbial duck.
and the young people are having the
time Of their lives.
Little River is not new as bath
ing place. But before the days Of
the concrete dam-thirty years ago
when the dam above Woods flour
/ mill deepened the channel Of the
stream somewhat-there was a great
deal of 'swimmin' in Little River.
1t was not called bathing and no
bathing suits were worn. The swim
mers were, of course, all boys and
the society reporter was not expect.
ed to attend.
There was rather high mud bank
on one side of the stream opposite
limestone ledge which made a Who'll
ly acceptable diving place on the
other side.
Upon the ledge the summer cloth
ing of all of the boys in HopkinsvilIe
who belonged to the gang that ex-
ercised sovereignty over the river
from the ledge to the mill dam
could be found at any tine of day,
and was found sometimes by men,
bers of other gangs. and tied in
knots, the knots dampened to make
them as nearly gordian as possible.
A mud-slide-aIthough that was
not the popular name for twas
made by wetting the high bank from
the top to the waters edge, and
sometimes a batteau was dragged
up the bank and turned bottom up
wards, one end being laid upon the
top Of the fence which ran close to
the bank, so that the length Of the
mud slide could be doubled by coat
ing the bottom of the boat with slick
black mud scooped from the oozy
mire at the edge of the water, where
the big bull frogs sat and called
'knee deep" in comic opera bass af-
ter the boys had gone home to sup

operating under the laws of gravita-
ton, attained speed of about
mile in thirty seconds by the time he
shot from the lower end Of the bat
teau and struck the middle of the
slide from which he drove foot fore
most into the tepid stream. The
mud turtles deserted that part of
Little River during the day for fear
that their shells might be cracked by
being sat upon at high rate of
speed by patton of the slide, The
fish Joined the turtles IN clearing
out.
Sometimes members Of some other |
gang sailed the slide with small
stones which they cleverly concealed
just under the surface. In that
event the first boy who slid down it
reached the water somewhat dis
figured and ate his meals standing
for the next week, but he was usu-
ally able to take part in the punt i've
expedition that followed.
Way down below the mill dam,
almost to the "trussel," there was
shallower swimming hole patronized
by small boys who had not learned !

THE HARD-BorLED HAT

Why must woman bear most of the

certainly has no more freedom than
shez This could be illustrated in a
number of different ways. including
collars that choke and are too easily
soi1ed, but what is really in our mind
il the hair-and- brain and-comfort-
destroying derby. 1t makes the head
look like q peanut. 1t is worn in the
spring long after the owner longs for
the straw hat. and in the autumn
when he wishes to continue with the
straw. and In the winter when he de-
sfres comfortable, pleasant, soft,

gaining little in popularity, and also

enough to be noticeable. For what

An INDUSTRIAL EDITION
Plans for a Monster illustrated Issue
Our City's Magnificent Growth

For some time it has been the desire
of the management to produce an IL
Illustrated edition Of the Star, exploit
ing the innumerab1e natural beauties
and advantages of this section of Ma
rion county, and particularly the city

say that we have been fortunate
enough to engage the assistance of a
corps of the most efficient special
writer's in the country to cooperate
with US in special edition and can
confidently promise all who are inter
ested in the progress of Ocala and its
environments the handsomest, most
complete and finest illustrated indus
trial edition that has ever been is
sued in this section of the state.
The edition will depict in convinc-
ing and graphic terms the history of
the community as whole, as well as
every important enterprise. 1t will
tell of the opportunities held out to
home seekers and capitalists. In fact,
| it will tell the story of Ocala more
Thoroughly and entertainngly than ii
| has ever been told before.
Our forward movement of promi-
hence among the inland cities of Flor
| ida will be one entirely due to the
winning spirit of cooperation which
should animate every one interested in
the future of Oca1a, and we are posi-
tive that this special edition of the
Star will prove the most valuable and
popular undertaking which the bust
ness interests of this city and county
have ever entered into.
The edition will be finely printed
and attractively laid out, and viii
contain numerous ha1f-tone illustra-
lions of the various interests describ.
/ ed. Every business enterprise and in
tdustry in Ocala and it's surrounding
should be represented.

In the last few days. speed mania
has resulted in two shocking accidents
IN the neighborfng city OF Tampa. In
the first. two men broke the speed
laws for no reason in the world except
to crafty their own foolish idea of
sport, and the result was that an USE
full citizen was seriously hurt il not
crippled for life. In the second, a
driver rendered careless and reckless
by drink, mishandled his car In such a
manner as to crush the life out of an
eight-year-old boy, bright little fell
low, the pride and hope of his par
ents. Why shouldn't these men be
sent to the penitentiary for long terms

the effrontery to hint that he has been
forced out because he was the last OF

mind some ancient. history It was
precious little support that DIR. Wiley
got from Roosevelt when he was pres
ldent. Before the colonel adds DR..

how and why he appointed the Remsen
board to hold the doctor down and
check some activities in the cause of
pure foods and drugs. The colonefs
memory may be defective. scientist
has tried to explain why it is. but it
should be capable of being refreshed
by proper reminders. II the colonel
does remember he will forget all about

psychology of the subject that has
been printed. opportunism is what
makes his memory treacherous.

Scientific Address Upon Alcohol Most
Interesting

Scientific Address Upon Alcohol Most
Interesting
Dr. E. O. Taylor of Boston delivered
two of the most telling addresses
against the use of alcohol recently
that were ever heard in ST. Augustine.
He confined himself strictly to the
scientific side of the case, and no one
could listen to the arguments advanced
without being convinced that the time
would soon come when alcohol will be
classed as it should be-with the dead
ly poisons, and its sale prohibited as
such.
In speaking of alcohol as poison.
DR.. Taylor said in part:
There are three general classes Of
poisons: The narcotics, which affect the
nerves: the irritants, which affect the
membranes and tissues, and the mar
cotic- irritants, which do both.
alcohol belongs TO the latter class
and finds a place equally among the
narcotics and the irritants. Concrete
ly considered as a narcotic, it is in the
same list with cocaine, choral. NOR
phine and opium. The logic of this
classification compels us to treat al
cohol socially and legislatively the
same as we treat the drug narcotics
with which it is classed. These being
thrown out of the category. of proper
luxuries. and the sale of the same
| legislatively prohibited for social pur-
poses, alcohol should be disposed Of In
| the same way. The following propo-
sitions are, therefore, impregnable:
First, there is no more reason in
modern science for the beverage use of
alcoholic liquor than there is for the
same use of opium, morphine or CO.
caine.
Second, the appetite for liquor is as
abnormal, unscientific and inexcusable
as is the appetite of the morphine fend,
and the user of liquor should be as
much ashamed of the habit as the user
of morphine.
| Third, there is no more reason in
modern science for the 1egalization OF
the sale of liquor for beverage pur-
poses than for the 1egalization for the
same purposes of morphine or CO.
caine.
mo one questions the accuracy OF
prohibition by legislation invariably
applied to the sale of cocaine and
other drugs mentioned. 1t betrays
dense ignorance to apply any other
Iprinciple of legislation to alcoholic
beverages
| Fourth, a saloon. therefore, is as
much out of place in modern civiliza-
! ton as would be an opium joint or a
cocaine den.
! Fifth, alcohol being a narcotic
irritant becomes doubly effective
While cocaine being exclusively a mar
cotic will lower the mental moral and
physical tone of the user, he seldom
becomes criminal beyond minor misde-
meanors of the law: whereas, alcohol
combining in itself both a narcotic and
irritant quality, is apt to make Its
user vicious and when he goes home
under it's influence likely to shed in
nocent blood. So that for every argu-
ment for the prohibition Of the sale
and use of cocaine and other like drugs
there are two arguments for the pro-
hibitien of the sale and use of alcohol
as a double poison. st. Augustine
