His education was gotten read
ing newspapers. He says while
in Egypt he learned the luck
sign of the Sun God, which he
will wish on every one who buys
an Independent from him today.
He claims to have sold papers to
the kings and queens of coun-
tries all over the world.
His highest record for one day
was in New York City, where
he sold 1900 papers in one day
at the time of the Titanic disas-
ter. Sid has lectured to audi
ences of newsboys on how to
sell papers. He tells Of the not
ed men in history who started
their careers as newsboys.
Sid was in Portugal at the
time King Manuel was dethron-
ed because of his infatuation
with Gaby Deslys and King Al
fonso of Spain gave him medal
that permitted him to ride on
the railroads free Of charge. He
visited Italy, Greece, Russia,
China and Japan before return
ing to America ten months ago.
Among the notables to whom
Sid has sold newspapers are ).
D. Rockefeller, J. P. Morgan
Helen Gould, John j. Astor,
King Edward, Gaby Deslys,
Car Nicholas, Kaiser Wilhelm,
the Mikado of Japan, Emperor
Franz Josef and King Leopold.
"When l sold papers to John
D. Rockefeller" says Sid, he
always waited for his change,
but Gaby Deslys never waited
Sid is working his way to San
Francisco for the worlds fair.

Ten Terms AS Alderman.
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 8.-Little
Rock claims one of the oldest
aldermen in point of service in
the state. Louis Volmer, alder
man from the Sixth Ward, Mon
day night entered upon his
tenth term, or 18th consecutive
year of service in the city coun-
Gil, and Henry Mccain, one of
the youngest members, in a neat
speech felicitated him upon his
long and honorable career. This
is very unusual as ordinarily a
member does not last longer
than two terms until his consti-
tuents want chlnge.

Batesville 8, Tuckerman 3.

Batesville, April Tn the
first real ball game of the sea-
son Saturday, the Batesville
High School team defeated the
High School boys from Tucker
man by a score of s to 3.
The Tuckerman lads were out
, classed in team work from the
beginning of the game, the To-
Gals showing on most occasions
good headwork and played at
times like veterans.
Three times the bases were
filled with Tuckerman runners,
with no one down, and as manv
times Carl Mcmillan, the classy
little twirler for the Batesville
boys, settled down and with ex-
cellent support, retired the visi-
tors without a run.
Nance, for Tuckerman, pitch
ed a nice game, striking out fiji
teen men and allowing three
clean hits, and with the support
that was given the Batesville
pitcher, could have told "the
folks at home" of much closer
game, to say the least of it.
The Tuckerman boys are good,
game losers, telling the winning
team how they expect to "hand
it to 'em" when the return game
is played at Tuckerman.
The game was witnessed by a
fair crowd of fans, and no doubt
their next game will have a
much larger attendance, since it
is known what classy aggrega-
ton of ball players the High
school has.

Places of Historical Note.

Chattanooga, Tenn, April Z.
During the years of 1868 and
1864, a red line of battle was
stretched across a portion Of the
south, practically extending
from Louisville, KY, to Atlanta,
Ca, and on to Charleston, S. G.
The Chattanooga territory re-
ceived the entire force of this
shock. All the way from Chat
tanooga to Atlanta the roar of
battle was almost constant. Be-
ginning with Chickamauga, and
ending with the evacuation of
Atlanta by the Confederate
forces in 1864, the ploughshare
of war was driven deeply into
this soil. Railroads have allow
ed stop-over privileges at all Of
these battlefields on tickets to
the Confederate reunion here
May 27-29, so that all who desire
to view these points of historic
interest may do so without addi-
tional cost.

In explanation of his gift of one
million dollars ITO the medical depart
ment of Vanderbilt University. Mr..
Carnegie says that the gift has pass
ed out of his hands and is now in the
hands of the proper authorities-that
he never gives to sectarian education
al institutions for the reason that he
feels that no one should be debarred
from a medical Education on account
of his theological views. 1t seems to
US that Mr.. Carnegie is standing on
solid ground. If this gift of one mil
lion had been given to the theological
department of Vanderbilt the objec-
tons to receiving it on the part of
the bishops would have been tenable.

Many of our citizens. engaged in
trucking having banked big bunch
of money. will spend the remainder OF
the summer at seashore and mountain
resorts. The trucking season comes in
just right. One does not have to work
during the hot SPELL and as soon as
he ships his produce and banks his
net returns. he has nothing more to
do until fall. and can spend July, Au-
gust and September at Saratoga,
White Sulphur, at the seashore, or on
tops of mountains. as his fancy die
tates. II is not so with other business
enterprises. that of editing a newspa-
per. for instance. Day and night, all
through the year, twelve or fifteen
hours toll out of the twenty four are
exacted. The life of the successful
trucker is to be envied.

ONE DOLLAR YEAR
NEWSPAPER MEN THE SALT OF
THE EARTH

Some statistics of the convicts in
the penal camps in Georgia have been
published that are interesting. There
are among them more preachers than
bartenders, there being twenty of the
former and but seventeen of the la
ter. There are sos who have been
sentenced for life, and One-half OF
them are married men; almost every
profession and calling is represented:
there are tramps, pilots, preachers,
lawyers. doctors, policemen, coach
men, clerks, blacksmiths, school teach
ers. nurses-but not a single newspa-
per man.
In Justice to the preachers, it would
be well to state that all but two Of
them are negroes, and the only two
white ones are men who had been c>-
PEELED from the church and dismisSe
from the ministry before they were
sentenced to the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

ocALA-MADE CIGARS

We cannot get over Secretary Roo
ney's suggestion for Ocala people 10
use only Ocaa-made cigars.
1t does seem to us that with tho
same character and quality of tobacco,
with Just as experienced and expert
cigar-makers, that just as good Gig
can be made in Ocala as can be made
anywhere. If not, why not?
With just as fine cigars, according
to grade, as can be made anywhere,
and Ocala smokers smoking no other
kind, and no other kind sold by the
retail dealers lin Ocala or in any OF
the suburban towns, Ocala could
in time build up great cigar indus
try.
1t is a good idea, and we hope that
it will not be allowed to be side-trach-
ed and buried alongside of so many
other promising affairs that have died
in early infancy.
