OXFORD

oxford, July 31-Some time ago il
was suggested that all interested in
the Pine Level Cemetery at oxford
go out there a certain day and clean ii
off. independent of the barbecue that
is to be held next Saturday for that
purpose. The idea was discussed for
a few days and last Wednesday was
the day set apart for the work. The
idea met the hearty approval of the
majority of the people and when the
day arrived more than fifty people re-
spOnded to the request, with hoes,
rakes and wagons. and before the day
was near gone the cemetery had one
of the best workings that it has had
for several years. 1t is done, and we
believe we voice the sentiment of the
public to say that this is the most
worked. Now. there is no worry about
how, when. how and who is going TO
work the cemetery. No more worry
about whether or not we are going TO
make expenses.
Let everybody come to Oxford next
Saturday to the biggest gathering in
the country. and enjoy one day OF
meeting and hand shaking with your
kindred, friends and sweethearts. etc.
from far and near. and whom perhaps
you have not seen since the last
gathering a year ago. Let US all do
this, not for profit, but as a matter of
pleasure and pastime. If we will do a
little Of our duty every year we will
have a respectable looking cemetery.
and have less worry and feel better,
too. Economy.

ENGLAND EXCUSES IsMAY

The judgment of the British Board
of Trade Court of Inquiry into the IT.
tantic disaster was announced Mon
day. II says the collision of the tt
tanic with an iceberg was due to the
excessive speed of the ship, proper
watch not kept. preparations for
manning the lifeboats not sufficient;
that the Leyland Liner Californian
might have reached the Titanic IL she
had attempted to do SO; that the track
followed was reasonably safe and
that there was no discrimination
against third-class passengers in the
saving of life.
Lord Mersey, president of the court,
said ii was not the business OF the
court to inquire into the attacks on
the moral conduct OF Sir Cosmo Duff
Gordon and J. Bruce Ismay, but that
silence might be misunderstood. He
said the former should have encour-
aged the boatmen to row back to
where the Titanic foundered in the
hope of saving life.
OF Ismay's conduct, Lord Mersey
found nothing to complain, saying had
he not entered the boat when he did
his would have been another life need
lessly sacrificed.

"YOU,RE ANOTHER

Charlie Jones Of Dixie having writ
ten a severe attack on the gambling
bells OF Tampa, and their alleged pro-
lection by the police, the Tampa pa
pers are trying to defend their city by
abusing Jones and Jacksonville.
Tampa has as many good people as
any city OF it's size in the world, and
they would probably more greatly APP
preciate the efforts of the Times and
Tribune II they would try to put an
end to wide-open gambling in their
town than they do the ridiculous eff
forts to defend or excuse 1t.
Tampa, like all seaport cities, has
many practices that look mighty queer
to the steady-g going citizen of a quiet
inland town. It also has a large for
eign population that looks on betting,
wine drinking, cockfghting and sim
liar diversions as amusements and not
as crimes 1t isn't fair to expect these
people to conform strictly to Amer
lean standards or condemn either them
or their neighbors too severely.
Tampa also has a number Of gam
bling bells that depend for revenue on
high-hying citizens of the town and
Of the surrounding country. Any man
who has money can find his way into
them, lose his money, or win other
peoples, and be treated civilly as long
as he makes no kick. If he detects an
unfair play and makes a fuss about it.
he is thrown out, and IL a policeman
is called in, he invariably arrests the
victim.
That these places exist is well
known to all well-posted men who
travel thru Tampa. To say that they
could exist without the knowledge OF
the police would be foolish. Tampa
people acknowledge their existence
some with regret. many as a matter Of
course. Anyone who constantly read;
the Tampa papers can't help inferr.
ing that they exist, even If he never
visits the city.
OF course, these places are no men
ace to the man who goes to Tampa
for business or legitimate pleasure
There is no city in Florida better
worth seeing than Tampa; none that
can give a visitor more comfort ant
safety.
AS for Mr.. Jones' trip to Tampa, HI
went there for the purpose of obtain

dens and he obtained it. A grea
many people approve of his mission
and no man well acquainted with the
city believes he told any more thar
the truth. Men are sent out by the
metropolitan dailies on such mission!

A steel-ribbed, indestructible, five
story vault, sunk in the earth beneath
the United States assay office in New
York, and capable of holding two bill
lion dollars in gold, is planned by Sec
rotary MacVeagh of the treasury de-
partment. This project, the largest
money vault in the world, requires the
sanction of Congress, and already has
received a favorable report from the
committee on appropriations of the
House of Representatives. Secretary
MacVeagh believes the vault is a nee
essity for the convenience and safety
of the nations wealth. In case of a
war between the United States and a
strong naval power, the location OF
such a vault in New York would add
| immensely to the enemy's desire tC
capture that city. If built, it should
be further inland.

GREAT OPPORTUNITY
FOR BOYS AND GIRLS

The editor Of the Star was just pre-
pairing to write something about
DiXie'S educational offer when his eye
fell on the following from the Palatka
News, which covers the ground exact
Iy:
Claude LEngle, congressman-at-
large-elect and editor of Dixie, the
states most strenuous exponent of
progressive democratic doctrine. has
just announced a scheme for extending
the circulation of his most excellent
journal which, we are sure, will APP
peal to hundreds of Florida's young
men and women, and more especially
those who are ambitious for an educa-
ton and are a. a loss concerning the
means to obtain it. Mr.. L'Engle has
made the way clear to this class. To
every boy who sends him 200 new sub
scribers TO Dixie at $3.50 per year
each he agrees to pay that boys board
at the Florida State University for the
full session of nine months, pay the
registration fee, uniform, books, laun-
dry, incidentals, etc, in fact the full
expense of the years course. The same
proposition holds good to the girls,
only the State College for Women a.
Tallahassee is the institution propos-
ed for them. The offer is a most lib
eral one and already we see a large
number of LEngle students headed for
these institutions. With the campaign
on and the democratic standard bear
er one of the nations greatest expon-
ents of progressiveism, the proposition
does not look a bit hard Dixie is not
an unknown paper in Florida and its
editor has something of reputation
for progressiveism himself. The young
man or woman who goes into this
| campaign for subscriptions with a
determination to win will find it easy
There is no such word as fail attached
to the proposition for any ambitious
boy spr girl The News hopes Putnam
county will have IT'S full share of sue
| cessful workers.

The editor OF the Ocala Star says he
could find nothing in Claude LEngle's
appeal for campaign contributions to
justify the assertion that he desired
only the original Wilson papers to as
sist in raising the fund. If the Star
man will read the list of papers which
Claude invited to assist in the work
he will note that they are all Wilson
papers and, with a few exceptions. pa
pers which supported Claude. The mat
ter Is scarcely worth the comment, but

Star read Dixie-or you don't want to

Norman Hapgood, editor Of Golfers
Weekly, has long been an enthusiastic
supporter Of Col. Roosevelt On his re-
turn this week from a trip to Europe
he says he does not see any room for
either a third party or the colonel. "If
Gov. Wilson had been nominated at
Baltimore by the moneyed interests in
the same way President Taft was nom-
mated in the convention at Chicago
says Mr.. Hapgood, then Theodore
Roosevelt might have a chance of be-
ing elected on an Independent ticket
The majority of republicans among
American business men that I have
met on shipboard going over and re-
turning, an dalso in Holland, told me
that they attended to vote for Wilson
because he had the right ideas on the
tariff question. Personally, as Mr.
Wilson was nominated on an independ-
ent ticket at Baltimore, I do not see
any room for a third party or Mr..
Roosevelt"
