SETTING A PACE

On Thursday afternoon, in company
with Messrs. Munroe and Chambliss,
we drove out to Mr.. C. p. Howeli's
place, ON the outskirts of the city,
where he has recently erected a
most modern up-to4date 250-ton metal
silo, which he is now filing with en-
silage.
The ~corn-stalNs, with all their be-
longings, are run through a machine
and cut into small particles, and is
forced into the silo by a of a
compressed-air pump.
Mr.. Howell began filling the silo
only on Tuesday and he expected to
have the work completed by Thurs
day afternoon before dark.
The silo cost, complete, eight hun
dred dollars, and the cutting and
pumping machine cost n hundred
and fifty dollars more.
Mr.. Howell is so well pleased with
it that he is going to erect two ore

any length of time, and all kinds of
stock are very fond of it.
If the ensilage is made of corn, the
1ko11x 49, nth Tho foccnl tho chfInx
and the corr are all consumed.
Mr.. Howell has more than one hun
dred head of hogs, some of which are
registered, and has some fine cattle,
and is setting a pace in the farming
line which we believe is going to
mean much for the farming industry
of our county in the very ear fu-
ture.
Messrs. Munroe and Chimbliss ex-
pressed the opinion that it is the best
silo that they have ever seen, and
lavished Mr.. Howell with compli-
ments.
The pace that Mr.. Howell has set
is more encouragement to farm life
than anything we have een in many
a day, and if the banks will encourage
our farmers in a practical way to put
in silos and raise fine stock we will
soon have beyond any dispute the
finest agricultural county in Florida.
We cannot say too much in praise
of Mr.. Howell, and hope that his
place will be visited by many If not
all of our most progressive farmers,
and others who are not so progress
we've want them to get the habit.

The sheriff 'phoned for Mr.. Harley,
and in response to the phone mes

Mr.. Galloway says that the inven-
tory is the most complete that he has

representing some of the complain

Mr.. Harley, if he had desired,
could have taken out exemption pa.

young and could start life all over
again, which he would do, and want

Mr.. Harley says that for some rea.
son or other he could not make his
business pay, and he thought that it
was better for his creditors and ali
concerned TO turn the stock of goods
over to them now, and not continue
piling UP more Indebtedness.
1t seem to us that he has acted in
a most commendable manner.

RIVERSIDE DEFEATED ocALA BY
SCORE or 9 To-

Again the Ocala boys went to piec-
es in the first stage of the game ON
Thursday afternoon, and before they
could o themse,yAs the visitors
had scored all of their runs in the
first FIVE innings, Ocala assisting
them greatly with nine large errors
and losing the game by the large but
close score of 8 to z.
Clark went in the box for Ocaia,
and was pitching good ball, but err
rors on the infield were too much FOR
him. Riverside in the second ana
third inning scored four runs without
a hit.
the Oca1a boys ERE On to Spoftswood
and were hitting him all over the lot,
but luck was with him, for mp to the
latter part of the game his team
mates were giving him perfect sup
port. and we're ever robbing Ocala
of almost certain hits.
With the score s to 0 in the fifth
inning Manager Hunter sent Pat An
derson in to pitch, and after his first
inning he held the Riverside boys
scoreless and having about seven
gtrike-outs to his credit.
We still believe that Ocala has the
material for a good amateur team,
and once they get to working better
in the first part of the game there
will be fewer games lost. The infield
needs practice, and needs it bad, for
nearly every game lost this year has
been through their errors.
The Riverside team is composed of
a strictly Jacksonville bunch, ana
they put up a clean game of ball, the
game Thursday going through with
out a dispute.
The crowd yesterday was the larg-
est that has Witnessed a game this
season and it is hoped that an even
larger attendance win see the second
game of the series this afternoon.
For Riverside Lee st. Johns will
do the twirling, and he has the repu-
tation of being one of the best anna
teur pitchers in the state.
Chazal will work for Ocala, and
either Bullock or Brown will catch.
The following will tell the sad lit
tie story of how ocala lost the
game:

occasion of so much merriment and
enjoyment. Mrs. Tompkins invited
the best friends of her popular young
daughter, but said nothing to Miss
Irene about her plans. She made an
excuse for keeping her at home,
though, and when the guests began
arriving the honor guest was taken
entirely by surprise. The hours we're
spent very delightfully."- playing
different games, after which ice
cream, cake, punch, etc., were very
greatly enjoyed.
The following were the young girls
invited by Mrs. Tompkins to help her
daughter enjoy a happy birthday:

What applies to the upbuilding of
one city, as a rule will apply to other
cities.
The following is taken from the
Waycross (Ga.) Herald and what il
says will apply equally to Ocala and
we commend it to the consideration
of the readers of the Banner:
There is 40 more powerful or help.
full agency for the upbuilding of a
city than community interest. The
basic principle is public spirit The
former is a natural and an inevitable
outcome of the latter
Public opinion prompts and enables
a man to .ook for immediate interests
to the public welfare. A man of pub
lie spirit is a wise man. He knows
full well that it is impossible for him
to prosper in business unless his
neghbor, his fellow business man, is
prosperous
1t is true, of course, that a man
may make and store away money in
dependently of the community at
large, but he will do it so grudgingiy
that it will shrivel his soul. Too late,
he will realize and acknowledge to
himself that he has been all the years
of his hard life laying up treasure
where moth and thieves break
through and steal"
! A business man, who has developed
public spirit in himself, is ever ready
to lend a hand to every enterprise
and undertaking which promises good
to the community of which he is an
important part. If a convention is in
! vited to the city and entertainment
is to be provided, he says: Send two
or three or four delegates to my
home or on account of servant prob
lem, send two or three or four dele
! gates. to. the best hotel in the city as
my guests" If bonds have been issued
in furtherance of some needed i'm
provement, he says: Put me down
for $4,000 of the bonds. / have not
the money just now, but | will hire it
and pay on deliverance of the bonds"
He may straightway dispose of half
his purchase to some fellow citizen;
that's business. He toed the mark
when public interest demanded it.
Does a stranger enter the city with
a view to embarking in business, he
he seeks him out, and grasps his
hand, and sincerely declares: Il am
glad to welcome you to our commune
ty; we all welcome you. This is the
community in which to prosper"
You see at once how community
interest grows out of public spirit.
In such a condition-it is a real con-
dition all over this country busl-
ness man in trouble will not hesitate
to turn to his brother, his fellow mer-
chant, and take counsel of him. And
he never goes away empty handed.
The prevalence of public spirit in
a community writes a high record
of prosperity and continuing advance
ment for all the people which consti-
tute it. Such a community will be
known and admired far and wide.
Public spirit has done marvellous
things for Waycross; let the benefit
spread out allover the city, it will
accomplish more wonderful things
reaching out into the rural districts
and unifying country people and city
people.
CULTIVATE PUBLIC SPIRIT; IT
WILL ENRICH YOU!

Only a nom- inal amount of business was transact ed in the first half hour. Lower prices we're made all through the list, but these changes were slight and were due to the absence of demand rather than to bear pressure.

ADDRESS OF BISHOPS
 RAPS COURT FINDING
Methodist Connection With VandtF- bill University is Mere Shadow.

Oklahoma City, Okla, May G. Methodist connection With Vanderbilt university at Nashville, has, through the recent decision of the Tennessee supreme court, become a mere shad- ow, says the address of the bishops or general superintendents of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, at the opening of their quadrieInial conference here today. After several years of litigation, following efforts of church commission to reach a sa atisfactory solution of the question | of the Methodist churcn's control of the university, the Tennessee supreme court recently decided that the church through it's bishops did not control the school.
 "The decree of the court leaves to the church a mere shadow of connec- tion with the university" cec1ared the address" which in our opinion Il. es not justify the church in any attempt to direct the affairs or the institution or assume any responsibility for it.
 We are thus deprived of what we honestly believe to our own and which by hundreds of actions taken in our general and annual confer ences, and in the board or irus, of
  firmed to be the property of the of the university by the church was never questioned for 'nore than thirty years by any one within or without the church.
 Bow to Decision.
 But as law abiding citizens we TOW to the decision of the court. This, however. does not mean that we are bound to agree that the church has received justice in what has been done and decided
 We don't presume to indicate to you what course you should pursue to repair the loss which has been ,n- ficted on the church. That is TOT the wisdom of the general conference to determine it is respect fully recommended that the whole matter be referred to a select com mittee to report what should be lone as the case now stands.
 After touching upon the growth in church membership the bishops paid their respects to so-called schemes for social betterment.
 Many persons would have the church rely on eugenics," the ad- dress says, rather than upon ~egen- eration by the Holy Ghost for the making of a new and nobler race, and bring to bear upon man, the free agent, stock-raising expedients and plant culture devices as the most ef- fcacious means to improve -pecies But she may not heed the voices of those spurious renovators of snan- kind believing that the soul of all improvement is the improve ment of the soul ;
 Other Matters Urged.
 The conference was urged to .take such action as may be deemed .ieces- sary to secure the speedy ana credit able erection of a church in Wasn- ington. D. C., adequately represenia- tive of our Methodism.' and on the question ow "laiety rights'' for women the cause for a. widespread discussion at the 1910 general conference, the address declared: We have reason to believe that the reason ,or the Ge- mand for this kind or equality Is not in harmony with the general centi- ment of the women of our church.
 That no new bishops would be elected at the present general con- ference was indicated
