Invitation for Visit There.
Itinerary of Trip.

The Colombian incident was closed yes
terday, when the State Department re-
ceived letter from the Colombian min
lister. Pedro Mel Ospina. saying he had
turned the legation affairs over to Senior
Don Roberto MacDouall, first secretary,
who will act as charge d'affaires. Simi.
lar word was received from American
Minister Du Bois, at Bogota. which. in
addition, said that the American legation
there had been officially informed Of Min
lister Ospinas recall.
The attitude of the press OF Colombia
in the Knox-Ospina incident is of espe-
cial qualification to the State Depart
ment. Minister Du Bois reported that
almost without exception the influential
newspapers of the republic join In ap-
plauding the governments action In re-
calling Minister OSpina. This Is accepted
as indicative of the dawn of an era OF
much better feeling toward the United
States and the end of the bitter feellng
engendered by American acquisition Of
the Panama Canal Zone.
Invitation Not Yet Answered.
The hearty invitation of Colombia to
Secretary of State Knox to visit its
shores has not yet been answered, so far
as the State Department knows. The
decision lies entirely with Secretary
Knox, to whom the invitation was sent
by wireless.
He is on the cruiser Washington. some
where between Key West and Colon.
Messages sent after the speeding cruiser
yesterday were unanswered up to the
hour of closing at the department. but II
is believed they reached their destfna-
ton safely.
Officials now consider 1t somewhat un-
likely that Mr.. Knox will visit Carta'
gena, for he will spend only few days
in each capital and his time Is limited.

DIFFERENCES CAUSE DELAY
Large Property Owners Along PrOpOs-
ed Extension Of Coast Line stand
in Their Own Light
Bronson Times-Democrat)

Work will begin without delay on
the Atlantic Coast Line extension
from Dunnellon TO Otter Creek. n. G.
Wade has the contract for building
this piece of railroad. and it is TO be
completed by the latter part Of the
year. While this is gratifying news,
we are reliably informed that the ex-
tension of this road from Otter Creek
to the Suwanee river, which means
a trunk line through the country
north and south, will be Indefinitely
postponed if the route is not entirely
changed. This detention of the work
north of Otter Creek is caused by the
failure of certain large land owners
to cooperate with the road in the
conveying of right of way previously
agreed upon. Where the road crosses
a mans land who owns only a small
farm the officials expect to pay for
the right of way, but a man who owns
large body of land will receive
more benefit than he can confer, and
the road expects his cooperation This
road will develop a fine section of
country, and il is hoped the differ
ences will be adjusted before the Of
fcials decide upon changing the route.

Your correspondent has had the
pleasure today of autoing with Mr.. j.
c. Rast to Summerfield and thence to
Leesburg. We wish to congratulate
the people Of Summerfie1d and sur
rounding country. We have never
seen a country so much improved We
hardly recognized the little city when
we drove into town, it having built up
so rapidly in the last few months. The
automobiles in the streets and the
people walking hither and thither
gave it the air of real live town. II
the hard road could be completed from
South Lake Weir it would give US
direct connections to this thriving lit
tie town which would be a great ben
eft to the people of this locality as
well as to the town of Summerfield. It
is not so pleasant autoing through the
woods. But fortunately Mr.. Rast is an
expert in the control Of his car, but
he kept me pretty busy in some
places clearing away logs and tree
tops. If his car had been equipped
with an axe, cross-cut saw and hand
stick, 1 might have been able to have
done better job.
Mr.. J. c. Rast, who has been operat-
ing his bean huller in Leesburg, has
completed his contract there and is
now moving his machinery to Sum-
merfield, where he has a large amount
of work awaiting him. Mr.. Rast is
not only the operator of this machine,
but the inventor and manufacturer as
well, and it is one of the best and
most complete bean hul1ers We have
ever seen.
Mr. J. NJ. Douglass of Weirsda1e has
announced that he is a candidate for
Icounty commissioner. We are very
glad to learn this for we are much in
need of a commissioner from our neck
Of the woods, and We feel sure that
Mr.. Douglass is the proper man for
this position. He is certainly very
popular with his many friends here,
and if he goes in maybe we will stand
a chance Of getting some Of the much
needed improvements in this locality
namely: the connection of the hard
road between Weirsda1e and North
Lake Weir.
