Grass and good livestock go to
gether. Where one is found, the
other is almost certain to be. The
farmer from other sections is very
likely to comment unfavorably on
the poor stock of the South and the
bare or brush and weed grown
fields. Probably no other one
thing has done more to discourage
immigration from other sections
than has the endless stretch OF
bare fields which the winter travel
er sees throughout the Cotton
Belt. Yet the cotton farmer has
to fight grass with all his might to
keep it from growing. Isn't it time
for a charge of poliey?- The Pro-

BETTER HURRY IF YOU DON'T
WANT TO BE DISAPPOINTED

The great Final Clearance Sale at
Franks is now on it's last lap. In a
very, very short while it will end and
with it will go the greatest money
saving opportunity this town has ever
known. If you have attended this
sale before you know of the startling
bargains offered and surely won't
want to miss the last few days which
are the best of all. If you have not
yet taken advantage of this sale don't
delay any longer for you will be doom
ed to disappointment. Come now
For the last days prices have been
cut still more recklessly in order to
force the remaining goods out in a
hurry.
Stores don't go out of business
every day-another such opportunity
will probably not present itself for
years to come. So don't delay-such
unprecented bargains won't last for
ever. Come before it proves too late

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
Please correct the notice appearing
in Fridays Weekly Banner in regard
to the republican precinct meeting

stead of county convention to elect
delegates to the state convention, it
was a precinct meeting to elect dele
gates to the county convention, and
that the following named delegates
were elected to attend the county
convention January 10th, 1912, at
noon: John o. Williams, j. w. Dukes,
F. J. Huber, Walker Swami, J. D. Nc

COMPLIMENT TO OcALA YOUNG
WOMAN

A letter from e. A Polly, Ocala,
Fla, states that his daughter, Miss
Alice Polly, was married on the 3rd
of January and that she would not
return to school. We are very sorry
that we are deprived of the pleasure
of having Miss Polly with us again,
but we are glad to know that she is
happily settled and has a good and
kind companion to walk at her side
and share with her her joys and sor-
rows. Her many friends at Massey's
rejoice with her and wish her much
happiness and good fortune. We are
not fortunate enough to remember the
bridegroom's name, but he is a pros
porous young business man and is an
officer in a militia company at Ocala.

MARION COUNTY AT THE ATTAIN
Ia CORN SHOW

Marion county was present at the
Atlanta corn show; it was there with
the goods and came away with the
blue ribbons. Mr.. j. F. Gist and Mr..
w. R. Brown of Mcintosh each won
blue ribbons. Mr.. J. F. Gist won the
premium for having the best single
ear of Florida corn and Mr.. Brown for
the best ten ears.
The variety was "Gist's Marion
County White the same variety that
won the prize at our Marion county
fair.
What Marion county wants more
than another is more corn farmers.
The corn farmers are the ones that
are giving such fine reputation TO
Georgia and have given the northwest
and middle states their pre-eminence

support rapidly increasing popula-
ton and subserve the interests of the
whole people there must be COM

United States of America; and,
Whereas, There are now nearly
seventy-fve million acres of unpro-
ductive swamp and overflow land, the
greater part of which may be reclaim
ed and made productive, and one hun
dred and fifty million acres more
which although now productive would
be largely enhanced in value; and,
Whereas, There are undeveloped
possibilities of transportation and
marketing in connection with such re-
clamation projects by the utilization
OF drainage canals and existing
streams 1or navigation; and,
Whereas, There is urgent neces-
sity for the conservation of our agri-
cultural resources through the restor-
alton and preservation of our soil fer

these subjects; and,
Whereas, The swamp and overflow

EVERY SECTION HAS ITS DRAW
BACKS

We have our calamities and catas-
trophies in Florida, but no section is
without them. The following account
of disaster comes from Greeley,
Colorado:
Yielding in normal years an aver
age of 100 to $50 sacks an acre, with
an output of 10000 carloads, bringing
the growers 100000, the potato
crop which for thirty years has made
the Greeley district famous, did not
harvest over 1900 carloads in the en-
tire district this season, and probably
less than 1000 carloads will go to mar
ket.
THE shortage in the potato crop
was caused by climatic conditions and
other troubles, commonly called
blight, and fields which gave excellent
prospects up to late August, proved
most disappointing. The bulk of the
crop is still in the hands of the farm
ers, who are holding until late spring,
expecting 50 a hundred pounds for it.
Dealers are of the opinion that most
of the crop will be held for seed the
coming year, as it requires at least
zoo carloads to plant the crop in the
district

Mr.. Henry Peterman, writing from
Indianapolis, Ind, says that the solu.
ton to a Greater Ocala" is in the
construction of inter-urban roads and
cheaper passenger and freight rates
Indianapolis, he says, is an inland city
with no more water than Ocala has.
Its inter-urban roads made it twice its
size. If Indianapolis, with no better
surroundings, can grow to be a big
city, why not Ocala? Let's keep on
trying. To the pushing, hustling man
of business all things are possible.

WATTERsoN WINS

Henry Watterson and the Louis
vile Courier-Journal have won their
dinner fairly and squarely. The
World confesses judgment. When
ever the editor of the Courier-Journal
is prepared to name the time, the
place, the food and the guests, The
World will undertake to play its part
in the performance as gracefully as
circumstances permit.
Col. Watterson knew much more
about Theodore Roosevelt than we
did His knowledge was superior to
our faith.
We thought Roosevelt would be
loyal to Taft as Jefferson was loyal
to Madison, as Jackson was loyal to
Van Buren,. We thought he was sin
cere when he selected Taft as his
successor, when he described Taft
as a Man of My Type, when he man
aged Taft's campaign, when he assur-
ed the American people that Taft was
the one man who could be trusted to
carry on a progressive administration
based on progressive policies. We
were certain that Roosevelt would
stand by Taft as he had stood by
scores of less worthy men, ranging
from Leonard Wood to Ben Daniels.
The World was mistaken in it's
estimates of Mr.. Roosevelts fidelity,
in its estimate of his loyalty, in it's
estimate of his disinterestedness of
purpose. We matched our optism
against Col. Watterson's pessism, and
we have lost. Col. Watterson was
right and we were wrong.
Nevertheless, we are glad that we
thought better of Mr.. Roosevelt than
we gave him credit for more gener-
Gus impulses than he possessed. We
are glad that as long as possible we
pictured him as statesman dominat-
ed by ideals, even though those ideals
might be mistaken, rather than as a
self-seeking politician and place-hun-
ter intent on intriguing himself back
into power.
Frankly, we were shocked by the
view that Col. Watterson took of the
Ultimate relations between Taft and
Roosevelt. 1t seemed too selfish and
cold-blooded to be true. 1t belonged
to the politics of Talleyrand and Mat
ternich, not to the politics of the long
line of American statesmen who es-
tablished and maintained republican
istitutions. We did not belive the
Waterson theory possible, and could
not believe it possible until we were
overwhelmed by the logic of events.
The record is complete, and there is
nothing further for us to say. To you,
Col. Watterson, The World presents
it's respects, it's compliments and as
surances of it's distinguished consider
alton. We who are about to dine
salute you.-World.
