CLERK NUGENT REPLIES TO IN
CURRY FOR INFORMATION
advertisement

Ocala, Fla, Sept. 3, 1913.
Mr.. Maurice Strauss, Ocala, Fla:
Dear Sir-Replying to your open
letter in today's Banner, addressed to
me, beg to say that half of the money
paid for liquor licenses goes into the
county proper fund. This fund is dis
tinct and separate from the other
three funds, and from it are paid such
expenses as the care of the court
house grounds, the janitor's salary,
the sheriff's per diem in circuit court,
auditors salary, etc.
AS to the other half of the money
that is received from liquor licenses,
that goes to the state. / will say
frankly that I do not know what dis
position is made of it.
| will, of course, at all times reply
to any inquiry or anything that comes
within my province as clerk, but pre-
fer not to go any further than that, or
have any newspaper argument, but
will reply to your last inquiry that
taxes are taxes, and that when once
collected and put in the treasury, that
each dollar, whether in the school
fund or road fund, or any othr fund,
is the exact equal of any other dollar,
wherever placed, all the money being
devoted to the use of the state and
county.
Respectfully,
P. H. NUGENT.

Mr.. GRANT coWAN WRITES FINE
LETTER TO THE BANNER

Washington. D. c.. Sept. 10, 1913.
To the Editor Ocala Banner:
For long time I was resident
OF Ocala, and, even now, it seems
more like home to me than any of the
many places east and west. in the
United States, that l have lived in
since leaving there In reading your
paper have derived much pleasure
from the progress made by the city in
improvements of all kinds; the i'm
proVements of its streets, public
buildings and schools, and the acqui-
sition and operation of the various
public utilities; and especially have
been pleased to note the evidence of
a true Christian spirit on the part of
many of its citizens which has
prompted them to cooperate with the
farmer in the development of the ag-
ricultural interests of the county, par
ticularly the purchase by some of its
citizens of the best stock to be found
suited to the south, and the introduc
ton of improved methods of agricul-
ture; and, also, the institution of a
county fair, with its prizes and the
inspiration given the farmers of the
county by the keen competition for
these prizes which are offered for the
best results obtained in every line of
rural industrial endeavor.
Still, it seems the end is not yet.
for, having improved your industries
by the Introduction Of up to date tools
and modern methods of production,
you are now about to make an effort
to improve the efficiency of labor and
the condition of the laborer. l refer
to the endeavor to secure local OPP
ton. Saying nothing of the suffering
caused to innocent women and chill
dren, resulting from the use of liquor
by fathers and brothers, and the gen.
eral immortality incident to the liquor
business, long observation has led me
utes SO much to the inefficiency of la
Dor as the use of intoxicating liquor
as a beverage. | believe that the par
tial abolition of the use of alcoholic
liquors as beverage, which must re-
suit from local option, will make Ia
Dor much more efficient and dependa-
BILE, and greatly increase the per cap
tia wealth production of Marion coun-
ty. Of course, the mental and phys1-
cal degeneration incident to the use
of alcoholic liquors, it would seem,
should be sufficient reasons to most
thinking men for the abolition of the
traffic in alcoholic liquors as a bever-
age. The views herein expressed
may seem mercenary, but there is
much truth in that old saying that
money makes the mare co." for the
increase of material wealth in Ma
rion county will be an aid in the adj
vancement of education, industry, re-
ligion and all things that go to make
happy homes and a contented people,
and the continuation and advance
ment of which are. necessary to keep
Marion county where l trust she may
always be-in the front rank of in
dustrial progress.
Sincerely yours,
GRANT COWAN.

a greater mileage of hard roads than
any dry county in Florida, with its
general freeness from crime, and its
high moral tone, is the best county in
the best state in the best nation on
earth, and whenever it falls my lot
to lose faith in this, my county, shall
certainly not be the one to stay with
in its limits and continually knock it.
This county was prosperous before
the freeze, and overcame a tremen-
dous setback when its orange groves
were devastated. This city has been
ravaged by fire, by bank failures and
other catastrophes, and yet we have
grown to be a prosperous and thriv-
ing city, talked of favorably by all
throughout the state, and / have no
hesitancy in predicting that if Marion
county stays in the wet column that
it will continue to grow and continue
to lead the other counties of this state
in business, in morals, in progressive
ness and in thrift. Let us all pull to-
gether for a splendid county, and let
us make her the richest and proudest
county in the state, intsead Of using
her for personal political aggrandize-
ment with prohibition as the stepping
stone to some selfish end.

Made Strong and Well by Vinol.
When we tell you that Vinol is the
best remedy in our whole stock for
making weak, puny, ailing children
strong, robust and rosy we are only
telling you what has been proved by
hundreds Of mothers.
}. L. Fickling, Macon, Ca, says:
MY child was very thin and delicate,
no appetite, nervous, and did not
sleep well. Doctors did not help her.
VinOl was recommended and the
change after a fair trial was wonder
full. She sleeps soundly all night, has
a splendid appetite and has gained in
weight. l wish every mother knew
what Vinol will do for delicate chill
dren."
What Vinol did for this little girl
It will do for every weak and ailing
child because sickly children need
the strengthening cod liver elements
and the tonic iron that Vinol con-
tains-that is why Vinol builds them
up quickly and gives them a fine.
healthy color. It is pleasant to take
and we guarantee that the results will

NOT BACKING THE NEW BASE
BALL ASSOCIATION.

viii YOU kindly explain once more
that the chamber of commerce is not

year," asked Secretary Ferguson of
a Missoullan reporter yesterday after
noon.
The reporter thought the matter
had been so thoroughly explained be-
fore that there could be nobody who
didn't understand it, but he made a
few inquiries among the men he met
during the next hour and he found
that even with all that has been said
and written in this matter there are
some men in town who think that the
chamber of commerce is developing
into 4 baseball association.
The reporter also found that not
one of these men attended the base
ball meeting the other night, although
most Of them were willing to criti-
cize what has been done And this
in spite of the fact that they didn t
know what had been done
The service of the chamber of COM
merce in the baseball matter con
sisted merely in getting together a

the names of five men who will act
as directors in the baseball associa :
