the fair Major Ellis is one of the
staunch friends of the farmers and
is welcomed by them wherever he
goes. A firm that he represents, the
Virginia-Carolina Chemical Co., has
just invested 100000 in Southern
cotton. Major Ellis. ike all other
Alaohua county men, is saddened by
the untimely death of 1. c. Walker,
the Coast Line special agent. who
was killed near Mayo the other night.
He was an estimable gentleman, and
well liked wherever he was known.

DIR. Wilbur Mccoy, chief of the
industrial department. of the Atlantic
Coast Line railway. is among the
visitors to the fair. Mr.. MCCOY in
his department has done a great deal
TO bring settlers to the South and
assist the farmers already here. He
keeps a close watch on industrial
conditions turnout not only the seq
dfons trayersed by the Coast Line
hut the country in general, and any
body who calls on him for inforrna-
tion will receive it in a solid and re-
liable form. Mr.. Mccoy paid the
Star a visit, and made some inter
eSting remarks on matters of vital
interest. He says that Florida is
standing the hard times, much bet
ter than some other parts OF the
country, and seems 10 be of the opin-
ion that if all of US could travel in
other states, we would soon realize
how well off we are. Mr.. Mccoy IS
rather conservative on the expected
rush of tourists to Fllorida. He
thinks there will be a good many-
more than usual-but doesn't expect
the state to be flooded with them. A
great many of the tourist class went
TO Europe last summer, and had to
come home almost penniIess, and
they won't be able to go anywhere
until next season. He has reason to
believe, however, that we will have
more genuine settlers than ever be-
fore, for the work that has been
done in attracting them to FIorida
is beginning to bear fruit Mr. Nc
Coy is also rather conse1 vatiye about
inviting Belgians to this country. He
as toward them like he is toward ev-
everybody else-will welcome indus
trious people with means enough to
be self-supporting from the start,
who will come to the south to settle.
When it comes to ablelbodied work
men, we have enough now, and as
long as quite number of our own
people are in need, its not good
policy to bring in any more of that
class from foreign countries. Mr.
Mccoy is much pleased with the
fair and hopes it will grow bigger
every year.

ONLY A SCRAP OF PAPER

No; this isn't about the European
war.
1T Is TO tell any young man among
our readers that one of the best in
vestments he can make is to join
some big fraternal order in the days
of his youth
We will not recommend any one.
The Masons, Odd Fellows and
knights of Pythtas are the greatest.
and several Others are good and mod
eled on these three. Altruism is
their great principle; man joins
one of them, if he is sincere, to help
Others. They do not take in the
helpless. but when man needs help,
he always receives it.
"A few weeks ago, a young man
from another state was in Jackson
Vile. He was out of work and al
most out of money Work was prom
ised him some hundreds of miles
down in South FLORIDA In order to
reach it, he tried to ride without
paying on a freight train This is
against the law in Florida The law
was intended for the shfftless, but it
catches an honest man sometimes.
ut caught him, and when he reached
Ocala he was placed under arrest.
He was pennfless; his little re-
manning funds had gone for scanty
and needed meal. The only thing Of
any value he had was a scrap of
paper.
1T was little scrap OF paper,
rather dingy, and would be of no
value to Rockefeller But Rockefel-
der would have to be esteemed by his
neighbors to have one like it, for 1T
said the bearer was member in
good standing of one of the greatest
fraternal orders i'm North America.
so far this man had appealed to
no one. He was trying to win his
own way But he had come to the
place where he could help himself
no longer. He showed the scrap of
paper to the policeman who had him
i'm custody, and the official recogniz-
ed its virtue at once. He couldn't
set his prisoner free, but he prompt
ly notified an officer of the order
the grand master of the state, by the
way-that a brother was in distress.
The call was promptly needed, and
it wasn't long before the friendless
prisoner had found friends and was
free.
Then a message was flashed to his
home lodge in a distant city, and
soon the reply came that what the
Ocala lodge did was good and should
be made good A home opened its
doors to him, employment was put
into his hands, and in an hour he
passed from the standing of tramT
to the rank of an American citizen

The Star often hears the people
at the electric plant criticised be-
cause they don't answer the phone
when the power is shut off and users
of electricity call them up to find
out what is the matter or when the
current will be turned on again
Many assume that this is done tjhru
an unaccommodatdng spirit. The
truth is that the phone is in the Of
fee, some distance from the machin-
cry, and when the phone bell rings,
if the workmen hear it, and can, go
to answer it immediately, the in
quirer often shuts of before one of
them can reach the phone. Another
thing is, that there are no extra men
at the plant, and it is generally inn
possible for man who is trying TO
start up pi zee of machinery that
the whole town is waiting on to an

men in charge of the electric plant
