At Least Half a Million Dollars Worth
of Damage Done by the Rain

Tampa, June 12.-South Florida has
suffered half million dollars loss
from torrentia1 rains which have pre-
vailed here for ten days. Not since the
establishment of the local weather
bureau has such precipitation been re-
corded Rainfall for the first nine days
of June was 7.65 inches. The heaviest
previous record was 6.22 inches in 1890.
Thousands of acres of land usually
considered high land" are under wa
ter and all of the inland lakes have
risen to such a stage that crops are
suffering and many bridges have been
washed away.
In many sections of the state rail-
way traffic is threatened and trolley
car service has already been impaired
on the Pinellas peninsular.

COLUMBIA HONORS UNDERWOOD

In comforting the degree of doctor of
laws upon Representative Oscar w.
Underwood of A1abama, Columbia paid
just tribute to his services as "parlia-
mentarian and pubifcist." During his
brief leadership of the House he has
done much to restore confidence in
representative government and show
how a Congress can be responsive to
its pledges
He came to his present position at a
time when his party for many years
had been untried in the duty of direct
ing the labors of either branch of the
national legislature, and as the spokes-
man of the House majority he has ac-
quilted himself with signal success
and distinction. 1t is fitting that a
leading university should take occa-
sion to honor Representative Under
woods services as being more than
those o IA party man and political
leader. but of lasting value to the ma
tion.-New York World

The pictorial trade edition of the
Ocala Star Is out and was distributed
very generally yesterday.
1t consists of thirty-six pages and
was profusely illustrated with not only
the leading industries Of the county
but with photographs Of our leading
officials and prominent business men.
Besides the pictorial features the write
ups are excellent and 1t is calculated
to do our county a great deal of good.
We congratulate all concerned in its
makeup for the elegant manner in
which it appears before the public
We shall have more to say about it
in future issues of our paper, when we
shall have had time to give it a more
thoughtful perusal-Ocala Banner.
We heartily congratulate the Ocala
Weekly Star upon the magnificent sue
cess it has made Of its ILLUSTRATED In
dustrial Edition. which came to Us
this morning. 1t is usual TO praise
these special editions in a perfunctory
way. without even turning the pages
or a glance at the contents; but this
edition will not permit you to dismiss
it in that way. 1t forces itself upon
you and demands recognition and APP
probation.
1t is hard to particularize among
the many admira BILE features. If we
were forced to do so We would say
that that which is most worthy of ad-
miration is the excellent judgment and
taste exhibited in the selection of sub
jects for Illustration.
There are thirty-six pages of beau
tiful pictures of landscapes. street
scenes, buildings, industrial scenes,
both agricultural and manufacturing
and in between the pictures the space
is filled with most carefully and COM
plete1y prepared articles historical,
descriptive and miscellaneous. The
edition is most complete in all its de-
tails. There is not a deficiency in il.
| 1t is success from the first page to
the last. We congratulate the Star
