Atlanta manages to always be in
the limelight. She now has a preach
er who is giving an exceedingly vel
low tinge to one of the capital city's
big pulpits. This preacher was once
detective. He then entered the pull
pit as a Presbyterian. Its old tradi
tional lines he found rather irksome
so he switched off and became Meth
odist, but finding more restraints ever
there than he liked he became Bap

coat while behind the pulpit, and any
time you feel that your health or hap

from me 1 shall feel it my religious
duty to pay you that debt on demand.

coast LINE PREDICTS HEAVIEST
FLORIDA TRAVEL EVER SEEN

! In the absence of A. w. Fritot, gen.
eral passenger agent of the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad, who is in Min
neapolis, after having attended the
meeting of the passenger men recent
ly, w. d. Starke, travelling passenger
agent of the A. c. L., is in charge of
the local offices.
Mr.. Starke says that the indication
for an extra heavy travel over their
lines during the coming season is the
greatest the road has ever had. Right
at this time, he stated, there is little
doing in railroad circles, the G. A. R..
reunion at Chattanooga having given
his road and all others touching that
city plenty of work for few days.
The A. C. L.; he states, has never
been in better shape for handling,
quickly and comfortably, the people
who come to Florida every fall and
winter, as the road has been put in
the best of condition, and the train
equipment is such that there is no
road in the south that can surpass it.
Superintendent of Transportation
A. C. L., o. M. Page, who has just re-
turned from an extended trip north,
over the lines of road, says the out
look for the fall and winter is the best
he has seen in years. He is convinc-
ed that there will be more people in
Florida this coming season than even
last year, when the increased travel
to the state amounted to about 80 per
cent. over any previous year.-Jack-

A CoLoRED MANS VIEW
To the Editor Ocala Banner:

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
| Of the various causes of defeat ad.
vanced by those who have expressed
opinions publicly on the late wet
or dry" issue, that most oft repeat
ed is the negro vote, and this opin.
ion seems well sustained by the great
! abundance of prima facie evidence,
much to the regret of many of the col
ored people themselves. An analysis
of the registered vote, however, would
show that the negro wet" vote,
though disproportionately large, was
supplemented by a right respectable
minority of white voters. Still, no
one, even slightly acquainted with
the facts, will deny that a substantial
majority of the whites voted "dry,"
while in proportion to the number
registered, a larger majority of color
ed men voted wet"
A further examination into the col
ored vote will show that three dis
tinct classes of colored electors exer-
cised the right to cast their ballots
pro and con.
One class, though not unnlindful Of
various other phases of the question,
voted for prohibition mainly because
they are prohibitionists of the uncom-
promising kind. With them prohibit
ton is virtue, great moral issue,
solution. With them also intemper-
ance, while a curse to any people, is
the one besetting sin of their race, re-
sponsible for most of its poverty and
moral degradation. Prohibition is an
essential part of their religious con-
science.
| Another class of colored electors
voted, some for prohibition, some
against it, purely as a matter of bust
ness. They were influenced by nc
sentiment as regards whiskey per Sc
They studied the question, as they
ALWAYS do, in it's relation to business
If in their opinion whiskey helps bus
mess they vote for it; if they are sat
isfied that it hurts business, they vote
against it.
But these two classes, strongly
self-opinioned, are greatly in the mi
nority, even when combined.
There still remains the great ma
jority, those who voted wet, partly
from sumptuary habits and partly be
cause they were told, and they fan
cied it to be true, that saloons make
a lively town. They are deluded, fol
Ocala is no more lively than Palatka
or Gainesville, or any other dry town
Ocala is as orderly as a town could
possibly be, and everybody has all the
liberty he could reasonably want
Could a dry town do better?
1t is to be regretted that this class
of electors, numerically so strong
are swayed so largely by mere senti
ment, not clearly comprehending the
real issues. This is said, regardless
of how the election resulted, which
it is pleasing to note, everybody
cheerfully accepts.
The task of the prohibitionist is to
educate the great unthinking masses
to think and act for the general good
1t matters little what side of public
questions may take if only they think
and vote as they think. The country
can never go hopelessly wrong in the
hands of Independent, thinking elect
ors. ]. d. MCCALL.

AN EXPLANATION

The policy or this paper is never to
indulge in personalities. The editor
does not do so himself, except under
extraordinary provocataion, and blue
pencils any reference to any matter
on the part of his corps of correspond
ents that he thinks would lead to the
least unpleasantness in any neighbor.
hood in the county.
In the recent wet or dry election
in an unguarded moment this policy
of the paper was violated by permit
ting certain signed articles place in
| its columns without the use of the
blue pencil on certain personal and of
| fensive references.
One of the parties to whom refer
ence was made felt offended, so we
quickly made the amende honorable
and it gave us pleasure to do so. We
were told by another party that he
felt likewise aggrieved, so we show
ed him a like consideration.
Now, Mr.. EG Carmichael, who has
been a friend of long standing, has a
grievance, and to him we tender ouI
apologies and regrets also on an olive
branch.
We determined in the outset to con
duct such a campaign that would
leave no wounds, and would ALLEVIATE
no friendships.
We do not now and have never be-
lieved in the potentially of abuse
either in primary elections, city cleo.
tons or prohibition elections.
We do not believe that it is the
proper way to win victories.
We started out with the express
and avowed purpose, SO far as our ed
itorial expressions were concerned,
while taking an open and decided
stand for the dry side, to give both
sides square deal, and to steel our
faces like flint against any underhand-
ed or improper methods.
If our counsel had been sought, we
would have given both sides ample
time to register every person in the
county entitled to cast a ballot, and
to count that ballot as cast.
We would have suppressed every
offensive circular, hand-bill, newspa.
per article or other document bearing
upon the election, the tendency of
which was to stir up bad blood and
precipitate harsh, bitter feelings.
We felicitated ourselves upon the
good behavior displayed on both sides
in the amicable conduct of the cam
paign up to the very eve of the cleo
ton, when unfortunately the "Old
Prophet" letter was surreptitiously
printed and circulated, which gained
no votes and left scars that it will
take time to heal.
Our own offense was in violating,
unguardedly, the established policy
of the paper by admitting into it's col
iimns the two signed articles referred
to, for which We blame ourselves
and apologize to our readers for hav-
ing done so, and we advise all parties
at issue to do as We have done-re-
greet, forget and make friends.
