/ am somewhat familiar with the
country around Ocala. At that time I
wrote several articles covering some
phases of the development of your
section.
If ]. A. Pride did not, before his
recent visit, fully understand the adj
vantages and resources of the Ocala
section. he failed to follow my advice
of it. But l am persuaded that how
ever much he was delighted with the
trip that you recently gave him, Mr.
Pride already knew fairly well some
thing OF the unusual attractions of
your county. / know how much in
terested he has been in the develop
ment of that section as well as of
the Manatee country
And yet l have sometimes thought
that neither your local people nor the
railroad people quite appreciate one
of your resources which in itself
ought to draw thousands of visitors
to Ocala. l refer to Silver Springs
Some friends of mine were in Ocala
last week and they did not hear a
word about Silver Springs and they
did not know until had told them
what they had missed. l have never
seen anything more wonderfully beau
tiful than Silver Springs. No one
ought to be allowed to visit Ocala
without being persuaded to visit the
spring and see for himself it's marvels-
If Silver Springs was in Colorado
or California, it would be heralded
throughout the world by the local peo-
pie as we'll as by the railroads as one
of the wonders of the world. If /
was anywhere in New England, q
small army would have to be station
ed around it to keep people in line as
they sought the opportunity of see
ing it. Silver Springs is an asset, not
to the nation. The region surrounding
it ought to be carefully guarded and
the spring itself ought to be protect
ed from all vandalism.
If the officials of the railroads
which run through Ocala are not full
~ acquainted with Silver Springs,
may I suggest that the first work
that the Board of Trade ought to do
is to let them see it and know for
themselves what a tourist-compel
ling attraction it would be if properly
advertised.
Very truly yours,
Richard H. Edwonds

DEMOCRATS SHOULD
NOT DISAGREE
Presidents Appeal to Tennesseeans
Applies to All Members of
the Party

Washington, March 15.-An ap-
peal for party harmony among Ten
nessee democrats was issued by
President Wilson last night The
authorized statement issued from
the White House says:
My judgment is very clear and
decided that il is the duty of all
democrats in Tennessee to adjust
any differences they may have had
in the past and to stand solidly to-
gether for the sake of the prestige
and the success of the party through
out the nation. The nation is now
accepting the services of the party
as Of the highest benefit to it and
every democrat should consider it
part of his duty and privilege to con-
tribute to the hearty team work
which has in recent months made
the party so effective in the nation. -

 The Ely Brothers
 To Mrs w. c. Matthews, who asks for information about the Ely family. Three brothers came to this country" writes this correspondent. "and established Elys- vile, Md One of these brothers was Mahlon Ely and one was Hugh Ely"
 There Is a tradition that the men who brought the Ely name to this country were brothers, but as the three broth- ers'' theory is so usual in family history there is not sufficient ground for estab- fishing it in this case. The brothers men toned are Nathaniel Ely. who came to Boston and Springfield, Mass. about 1885, Richard, who settled in Lyme. Conn.,, about 1660 Joshua, who appeared at Trenton in 1885, and Walter, who founded the family in Virginia. The only ground for believing the three brother tradition is that the three first named 'brothers" all brought similar coats of arms. It is said that Richard had a ring beaIng the coat of arms which was given toShim by the King of France, and that Nathaniel had a similar coat of arms on an old tankard which he brone:t from England. The coat of arms is described thus: Ar gent a fesse engrailed between six fleurs de lis gules. On Nathanel's tankard there were but three fleurs de lis. The crest Is as follows, An arm erect couped be- low the elbow argent, graspng in hand proper a fleur de lis sable

PRESENT CONDITIONS IN
 THE ARGENTINE AND THE REPUBLICS OPPORTUNITY
By INGE HAskINs

That prospects for the expansion of American trade in the Argentine, due to the upheaval in Europe, are now brighter than they have ever been before is an in- dsputable fact. but no one with more than superficial knowledge of condi- tions infthe land of San Martin and Bel grano can afford to indulge in the glo- riously optimistic forecasts with which American newspapers have recently been. filled.
 1t cannot be denied that the Argentine, as well as every other South American country. will become immediate and large purchasers of certain articles absolutely essential to the life of the country, such as coal for instance, but that this trade can be permanently diverted to American channels Is open to doubt. During the last great coal strike in England many cargoes of American coal entered the port of Buenos Aires, but these shipments au- tonatically ceased so soon as the English collieres resumed operation. this being due not only to the fact that superior Cardiff coal can be laid down in South America at a figure beyond the reach of American producers. but that the large colSullelS ol codi Ill tne AiSeiiihe aie the railways controlled by English capital and that the present day Engishman is cannish to an extent little dreamed of or understood by the American business man.
 Aside, however, from the producers of coal, and to a lesser degree of iron and steel products, cement and lumber Amer- ican manufacturers who anticipate an in- satiable demand from South America are very likely to be disappointed, for aside from the very difficult and apparently un- sovable problem of transportation, the buying capacity of the Argentine, as com pared with past years. is decidedly lim- ted: indeed conditions in the sister re- public today can only be compared with those which existed in the United States in 1893. Three successive dous land boom with consequent enor- nous shrinkage in values, over importa- ton on the part of commercial world celebrated for it's optimism, and the re- striction of credit due to the Balkan com plications brought about situation which in the early part of June was little short of total bankruptcy and indeed. when I left Buenos Aires on June IS last, Con- gress had under consideration a bill de- clafing general moratorium of one year on all land debts. designed to prevent the legal foreclosure of mortgages during that period. and thus forestall further de- preciaton in land values. This bill had the support of practically all the newspapers. and public demonstrations were being held in the various plazas of the city in it's support

He had eight children, one of whom, Hugh Ely, lived in Elysville, Md. Hugh Ely Is described as a very handsome man with dark blue eyes which possessed the peculiar expression which is characteristic of the Ely family. should be glad to hear from any reader who can throw further light on the southern family of Ely.
