clare that they have no intention of

BACKING UP THE BOARD

The business men of Ocala recent
ly pledged themselves to a very lib
eral support of the Board OF Trade.
The pledges ran from one TO three
years each, payable in monthly sums.
A member of each bank in the city
recently agreed to take all of the
names of the depositors at their re-
spective banks and see if the sub
scribers would agree to let the banks
charge the amounts monthly to their
accounts, without further recourse.
This has been done, and almost to a
man the depositors agreed to the
plan, thus solving the problem of
collecting the subscriptions. These
amounts are practically sufficient to
assure the expenses from month TO
month to carry on the great work of
the new Ocala Board of Trade as out
lined by its officers and committees.
This is high tribute TO both the
enterprise and staying qualities of
Ocala business men. 1t is only too
often the plans laid in the enthus-
iasm of public meetings are not car
ried out when the real work begins
Ocala, however, has an exceptional
citiZenry; and the fact that it is an
all the year round town is reflected
in the character of it's business ele.
ment. There is something for them
to do all the time, and they are doing
something all the time, so when they
put their shoulders to the wheel, il
never stops turning.

The New York World says that
the constantly recurring massacres
of passengers and trainmen on the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad are due to the surplus earn
fngs of the road being used in finan-
cial operations instead of keeping UP
the equipment. The frightful acct
dent of last fall was caused by a rot
ten bridge; the little less bloody dis
aster at Stamford a few days age
was caused by an engine, which
couldn't be stopped on account of a
defective brake blowing into an out
of-date wooden car. The New Haven
road is controlled by the same bunch
of financiers that bosses our Florida
railroads and tries it's best to buy ou1
