County: I hereby announce myself as
candidate for the office of county
Judge Of Marion county, subject to the
democratic primary to be held on the
30th day of April, and in so doing I am
not unmindful of the fact that I am
personally unknown to many of the
voters of the county. but for the reason
that I have not the money to make an
active canvass of the county, I shall
content myself with placing my name
before the people as best 1 can. I have
no influential or wealthy friends or
relatives on whom to rely for support
in furthering my candidacy, but rely
entirely on the wishes Of the people as
expressed at the polls, should they see

endeavor to fully compensate by faith
full attention to the duties of the Of
dce. should they see At to refuse me
the office, I shall accept their choice
without criticism, as my struggles and
disappointments in life have been too
many to allow it to deter me in my
efforts to meet with success in my
chosen profession. I am not polite
ian. within the meaning OF one con-
stantly seeking an office, and am now
asking for office only for the reason
that I feel capable of filing 1t to the
satisfaction Of all, and that 1t will ma
terially aid me in many ways in my
profession.
I assure those who see fit to support

w. E. SMITH

am a candidate for county judge of
Marion county, subject to the demo-
cratic primaries. During the last
three years, while I worked as book
keeper during the day, 1 studied law
at night and January last 1 went be-
fore the supreme court and was ex-
amined upon twenty-three branches of
American law Zone Of which was Am
erican law of administration and was
admitted to practice law in all the
courts of Florida. This fact will as
sure you that 1 am competent to per-
form all the duties of county Judge.
Now, my friends and fellow demo-

inquire as to who and what I am, and,
If from these inquiries, you are salts
fed that 1 am competent and merit
your support, I will appreciate your
confidence and will, If elected to the
office of county judge, never betray
your trust w. E. Smith.

CELERY CONDITIONS.

The demand for celery is very
heavy. Assistant Sales Manager Deck
man of the Florida Citrus Exchange
says: There is a great call for eel
cry from all over the country. We
are even having inquiries from Tex
as, itself celery-raising state. From
the big cities of the middle west, the
call is constant and increasing.
THE Eastern seaboard cities can
not get enough for present wants.
There appears to be no hold-over
stock in storage anywhere in the
country. The California crop was
light, and has been badly damaged
by frost In fact, Florida seems to
be 1T in the celery deal as well as
in oranges.
1--WE are having no trouble at all In
getting all orders we can fill for fancy
celery, dozen per crate and larger,
at $3.50 for Manatee crates and 1925
for the smaller size. Choice celery of
smaller size, when rightly packed,
sells for $2.75 and So. The quality Of
the Florida celery this year Is the
best ever. Just now the shipments
are light, owing to the cold weather,
which interferes with the bleaching"
Buyers are here In quantity. The
efforts of the Exchange in standing
for high prices for the growers has
brought the buyers into line, and
they are now offering prices that are
in line with Exchange prices. 1t Is
the same with potatoes. We are not
handling many potatoes, but did agree
to handle a car load for Wauchula
grower. We had sold the car for
him at $3.50 a barrel t. o. b., when
buyer, who had been offering $3.50
a barrel, boosted his price to IS cash,
and got the goods, we being out the
expense Of our wires and having to
square ourselves with the jobber who
agreed to buy the potatoes. We were
thrown down In spite of the fact that
If we had not been mix up in the
deal the cash man would have gotten
the goods at $3.50"
This is one incident that shows
why the Exchange is not anxious to
handle products other than citrus
fruits for any other organized asso-
Citations. So many are willing to use
the Exchange ladder to get to the top
of the wall with, only to kick it aside
with contempt when they have at
tanned the desired position. "Seto-
chumps!" which means What fools

HER SHADOW" WIGWAGS
AMOROUS WAY TO JAIL
Prison Bars Are Nothing to Per-
sistent Adorer.

Frank Matucci, of 113 South Canal
street, Is slowly having forced on him
the truth of the adage regarding the
path Of love.
Judge Hahn, in the Third Precinct
Court, today sent Matucci to the
scounty Jail for six months for trying
to force his attentions on Mile
Staub, of 40 Providence street, a
salesgirl in a Broad street depart
ment store.
1t was only a month or so ago that
Matucci left the jail after servingSa
term for the same offense.
Matucci was arrested by Patrolman
Seery on Tuesday night, when Miss
Staub told the officer that the man,
who, she said, follows her like a
shadow had wigged-wagged her
from the Pennsylvania station, as she
was returning from work.
Judge Hahn yesterday held the per-
sistent cavalier for examination as to
his sanity by Police Surgeon Clark.
DR.. Clark told the court this morning
that the prisoner was all right men
tally, so he was arraigned on Miss
Staub's charge.
why do you persist in following
this girl?" asked the judge.
Because / like her. Matucci an
swered, land 1 want to keep COM
pany with her."
When Miss Staub testified that Ma
tucci was really not even acquainted
with her, and that she had no de-
sire to have anything to do with him,
Judge Hahn committed him to jail.

SMOKE-FILLED STABLES
American Oil and Supply Co.
Has $4,000 Fire.

Forty-three horses narrowly es-
capped being suffocated in their stalls
when a fire broke out on the top
floor of the three-story brick build
ing occupied by the American Oil and
Supply Company ON Maple place late
last night.
The fire was discovered by Acting
Chief McDermitt, who was seated in
'front.' of No. / fire house at Lafayette
and Mulberry streets. Ordering his
men to turn in an alarm he hur-
ried to the place.
BY the time the firemen arrived
hundreds of gallons of oil and other
infiammable material was blazing
and sending forth huge clouds of
thick smoke. This was pouring into
the windows of the company's sta
bles, separated from the burning
building by a small alley. Thirty
seven horses were stabbed here, and
next door, in the stable of the ]. j.
Hockenjos Company, were six more
horses.
Firemen and stablemen led the ami
mails to safety with difficulty.
Six streams checked the blaze on
the top floor and prevented 1t
spreading to the lower stories. where
many tanks of oils and paints are
stored. The fremen also managed 10
prevent the flames spreading to oil
barrels standing in the yard.
The total damage is estimated at
$4,000. 1t was confined practically 10

UNCLE SAM is CALLOUS
TO MANS $500 TOUCH

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. An
urgent appeal for a gift of $500 from
the federal government came to the
treasury department today from a
luckless man, of Lamport, Colo, who
wants life made a little easier for
himself and companion. He wrote.
I'VE are not able to do very much
work and we lost several stock last
winter. We could use about $500. We
sure would be glad and thankful for
your kindness. Hope the Lord will
bless you is my prayer. Let me hear
by return mail" The miserly pro-
clivities of Uncle Sam were asserted
in the treasury's reply.
