UNLUcKY AUTO OWNERS

Every man who owns an auto will
say amen to the following from the
Jacksonville Metropolis:
Florida Is one of the few states in
which every department of the govern
ment takes a crack at the automobile
owner In this commonwealth the
state collects a tax from the man who
happens to own a machine. Then the
county IN which he lives takes a toll
for the same reason. Not satisfied
with this burden the city reaches out
and claps on another assessment. The
result is that the automobile owners
have to pay dearly for owning and OPP
Grating machines in Florida This is
both unfair and out of date. 1t should
be made unlawful. This state should
come to the fore and assess the auto
mobile owner and then tell the coun-
ties to let him alone. just because a
man happens to be well fixed enough
to own an automobile does not mean
that every division of the government
should have the right to hold him up

OLD MAIDS, BRIDGE CLUB

Editor Star: I notice in the social
column of the Star that Ocala can
boast more bridge clubs than any other
city of its size in the country. We
have the Married Ladies' Bridge Club,
the Young Married Ladies' Bridge Club,
the Young Matrons' Bridge Club. the
Young Ladies' Bridge Club, and many
others, but there is always room for
one more and as there is one class of
ladies who are not represented in any
club, and as / unfortunately Cor for
tunately) belong to that neglected
class I am anxious to organize a club
and get into the swim, so I propose to
start an "Old Maids Bridge Club" and
I feel sure we can make it a pronounce
ed success from the beginning. So /
ask all those who are eligible and
wish to be charter members to meet me
tomorrow, April LIST, at 10 o'clock on
the bandstand at the courthouse.

A Famous Pirate.

On the 23d of May. l7O6. Captain
William Kidd. the famous pirate. was
executed at Execution dock. London.
Several others of Kidd's company
were executed with him. The sum-
mary putting to death Of these pirates
did much to rid the seas of piracy.
Kidd. who was the most daring of all
the pirates Of history. exemplified the
worst of his kind. Although his ex-
ploits have been greatly exaggerated,
there is no doubt that he was guilty of
desperate crimes. His daring led 9th
ers to emulate him. and the commerce
Of the world suffered much because Of
the depreda tons Of the pirates. Eng
land was the principal sufferer at the
hands of the high sea raiders. and ac-
cordingly England was most interest
ed In their capture. Kids execution
began new era of commercial activ-
lily on account Of the greater security
enjoyed by merchantmen on the high
seas.
