thus to destroy them Near the south

tensively mined by the Beigians but
the Germans were warned by traitors
from within the city and took care to
avoid the danger zone.
.'On Thursday morning the retreat
ing troops from Antwerp passed on
their flight to Ostend no fewer than
500 motor cars filed with soldiers who
had already passed through the town
The intention was to reach Ostend by
forced marches and the soldiers were
relieved Of their knapsacks which were
carried in the vans. Motor buses
from London carried footsore troops
who had fallen out of line Then
came c1umns Of machine guns drawn
by dogs.

The Ocala evening star., 1914-09-04

The Star thinks that the gentle
men who originated this scheme
should be ashamed of themselves.
The coins are of the basest metal. the
design on one side is ridiculous, the
workmanship is crude and the whole
thing has the look of a fake.
The idea probably started from the
Colombian Exposition half dollar in
1898 This was very pretty silver
coin, issued by the government and
worth its face value. 1t was sold as
a souvenir for 81. The idea did not
take very we'll, and a million or
more of them were stacked up in
the treasury after the exposition was
over. The government turned these
loose at their face value two or three
years ago, and the coin collectors
snapped them up in hurry.
But nobody will snap up the Flor
ida dollar" Its not fit for anything
but TO cut up into sinkers for lines
to be used in catching catfish.

tory solution of the marketing and
distribution of Florida's products, we
| Immediately proceed TO organize a

CONDITION OF THE
TOMOKA CONVICT CAMP

Port Orange, Fla, Aug. 80, 1914.
DR.. S. Fl. Bitch, Blitchton, Fla:
Dear Sir: ] saw an article In the
OcaIa Baner taken from the Lakeland
Telegram, rejecting on the convict
camps on the east coast OF Florida.
1t seems only fair to Mr.. Frank, the
captain, that / should write to you
what 1 know as to the conditions in
the Tomoka Land Company's camp
some five miles west from this place.
without previous notice a number of
tourists have at different times visited
the above named camp. They have
been cordially received by Mr. Frank
and shown over the place, saw the food
in preparation, the kitchen, rooms and
beds. Several of these people have
spoken in praise OF the cleanliness
and good order prevailing in the camp
Some weeks ago / had occasion to
look at some land in the neighborhood
of this camp. My wife and two gen.
| tlemen, Mr.. Denton of Baldwin, L. /.
and Mr.. Iddings of Ludlow Falls, o
We concluded to visit the convfc'
camp. No one knew we were coming
Mr.. Frank was away, but the party
was cordially received. 1t was neal
meal time and the food being cooked
was appetizing and of sufficient varf.
ETY.. The beds were comfortable
Everything was clean thruout tbs
camp The rooms are well screened
Few flies were In evidence. Later IL
comparing notes 1t was remarked tina
probably most of the convicts had bet
ter food and beds than they were ac
| customed to.
As for mosquitoes in clouds like tn
smoke of a locomotive, the writer mus
have a very vivid imagination, like tn
writer Of the tales OF the genii in tn
Arabian Nights, for in your trips o.
the east coast, you know that sue
conditions do not exist here, and thi
is one of the east coast camps.
Very truly yours, ]. B. Case.
