N which he felt that he had been
fairly successful but would always
continue to be on the firing line If
returned to the position he sought.
He explained how the road tax now
on the statute books had been put
over" during his absence from the
hall, but said he also knew how to
repeal it if given an opportunity.
The speaker said that his course in
approval of many of the state OFF,
Gals and he hoped that of his con-
stituents; however, if they thought
that another man could better rep
resent their interests. it was only
proper that He should be voted down
and his opponent placed in his posi-
ton.
Mr.. w. T. Henderson, aspirant
for legislative honors, was next in
troduced, and after complimenting
the ladies most profusely for the ex-
cellent spread placed before the
gathering, told the people of his
public record, most notable of which
was a four-year term on the board
of county commissioners during
which he was present at every ses-
sion. He promised if elected to de-
vote his best energies toward the
betterment of the people of Florida.
After the candidates had all had
an opportunity to be heard the
chairman of the meeting announced
that by special request Mr.. E. L..
Carney of Ocala would address the
gathering. Mr.. Careny, in his usual
chivalric manner, most cordially
thanked the ladies for the elegant
repast just served. after which, to
use slang expression, he rolled up
his sleeves and went to it," and in
jected into the campaign some real
ginger in the shape of an announce
ment that the wet" or dry" ques-
certain candidates. He said that he
had it from good authority that no
candidate who had espoused the
cause of the dry" forces in the last
contest on the license question
would get a single vote of the Young
Mems Democratic Club of Ocala nor
from any other source that is in any
way controlled or connected with
that organization. He said that it
understood that Mr.. Maurice Strauss
should handle the Ocala end of the
organizations operations, while Mr..
Ed Carmichael was to care for its
interests throughout the county dis
tricts. Mr.. Carmichael was present
and denied that any such deal or
transaction had been agreed upon or
thought of so far as he was concern
ed; he also asked Mr.. Carney who
was responsible for the statement
that such a deal was in contempla-
ton, but no information on this line
was given out. Mr.. Carney scored
the club for operating under the
guise of democratic club, when it
had every indication of being an an
mex of the liquor interests of the
county.
Mr.. Carney's after dinner speech
proved the real star attraction of the
day and created more excitement for
a short time than all the others that
had gone before.
All in all, the day at Sparr was a
most pleasant affair for everybody
who was SO fortunate as to be pres
emit.

he leaned one hand on the table,
crossed his legs, put one hand in his

not know the exact procedure, but
he noticed that nearly all those who
preceded him assumed this position,
so he supposed this was the proper
thing to do and he would follow
suit. He also expressed the hope
that Mr.. earn would not start that

had been a winner in the past and
he feared the result if he should

Mr.. L. S. Light, candidate for re-

up the questions asked by the vot-

position on county division, dis

Skin Health Comes
From the Blood
Even Slight Erup6ons Such As
Acne Should Be Treated.

PimpIes and other skin troubles do not
blight on the face like flies. They come
bubbling out from within. They are impur-
ities. And if let alone or creased with
salVes they become chronic, simply because
the cause is still at work within. It should
be attacked with s. s. S. and the impurities
in the blood thus rendered harmless.
The skin is but q net work Of fine blood
vessels. And it is a perfectly natural con-
sequence that any influence in the blood
that is a condition Of i'll health makes its
certain medicinal properties that follow the
course Of the blood stream and the influence
Of these properties is that Of an antidOte.
This is why s. S. S, the best-knOwn blood
purifier has such positive action in the
skin. There is one ingredient in S. S. S.
which peculiarly stimulates cellular or
glandular activity TO select from the blood
or from this fine net work Of blood vessels
In the skin. those elements which it re-
quires for regeneration
Thus pimples, acne, eczema. lupus. or any
other blood condition that attacks the skin
OF seeks an outlet through the skin is met
with the antidOtal effect Of S. S. S.
This is why skin troubles vanish so
readily and why they do not return
Under the influence Of S. S. S. this fine
net work Of blood vessels in the skin is
constantly taking from the blood the nutri-
tiOn required for healthy tissue and the
cause Of disease is just as constantly being
removed, scattered and rendered harmless.
These facts are more fully explained in

"LUCKY PUNCH" MAY
MAKE HIM CHAMPION

Al McKOy, the husky young middle
weight, Of Brooklyn, who has occupied
the center of the pUgilistic spotlight
since he recently knocked out George
Chip, of Pittsburg, in the first round
of a scheduled 10-rOund bout at the
Broadway Athletic club. Brooklyn.
Many fight fans refuse to believe that
McKOy's feat was anything but a lucky
punch They say that Chip was over
confident and too careless. The fact
remains that McKOy made the best of a
wide opening and sent across the wal
Top that brought home the bacon. Nc
KOy has been known as more or less
of timid boxer, but his followers now
declare that his victory over Chip has
instilled him with an enthusiasm and
courage that will carry him to the top
Of the middleWeight scramble.
