Gid Railroad Man. After Twenty
Years, again in Ocala

In conversation with Mr.. w H.
RanSelr, manager of the Seeing
Mexico car, this morning. the Star
was surprised to find an old friend to
many in our city
Mr.. Ramseur, twenty odd years
ago, was conductor on the Cannon
ball, the lively little narrow-gauge
train between Palatka and Brooks
Vile, which train made better time
than many on the wider tracks. Most
of our older citizens have ridden
with him at one time or other.
Leaving Florida, he went to North
Carolina and was for a time a con-
ductor on the Southern. Then he
was in the passenger department of
the Seaboard for several years
Some years ago, he took up the
exposition car business, beginning
with car showing Cuba Seeing
Mexico" is his fourth car.
He desires to retire his Mexican
exhibits, equip his car with Florida
products, and take it thru the north.
He was connected for awhile with
Wanton S. Webb, in his famous
FLORIDA on Wheels" which was very
successful, and considers that he can
do we'll for the state and himself, as
he will have a much bigger exhibit
than Mr.. Webb could secure.
Seeing Mexico" was crowded yes
terday until late in the evening. If
another Florida on Wheels" can at
tract such attention, it will certainly
pay to send it out.
All the primary school children
were marched down in grades, at
tended by their teachers, from their
schoolhouse this morning, and taken
thru the car. The visit was free to
them, and gave them great pleasure
and Instruction. The pupils from
the high school saw the exhibit this
afternoon.
The car will be here this evening
and tomorrow morning.

Maplecroft Mill De-
clared InSolyent
The Greenville Piedmont of

The Greenville Piedmont OF
Friday says:
In the United States court this
morning, in the case of certain
creditors against Maplecroft
mills, instituted for the purpose
of putting said mill into bank
ruptcy, Judge II. A. NJ. Smith
stated that he was not prepared
to decide the main point in issue
which was argued before him
the day before. He stated that
he would consider the ques-
ton for about two weeks and
make a final decision of it; that
inasmuch as the jury had been
empanelled, rather than continue
the case pending his considera-
ton of the matter, by consent of
counsel on both sides, it was
agreed that Judge Smith would
direct the jury to find against
the mill and the mill would at
once enter a motion for a new
trial and the judge would decide
the question within the next two
or three weeks. In the event
that he decided in favor of the
mill a new trial would be grant
Jed. In case he decided for the
petitioning creditors the case
would be carried to the circuit
court of appeals and will be eheard
at the February term and a de-
cision by that court could be had
upon -astion of law inyol-
we'd. Therefore, no testimony
was taken at the present term.
He further stated that he would
not interfere with the present
management or control of the
mill until the circuit court Of ap-
peals had passed upon the ques-
tion involved.
The court directed the follow
ing verdict by the jury: Under
the instructions of the court we
find that court of common pleas
for Pickens county on August
25, 1914, placed a receiver in
charge of the property Of the
Maplecroft mills, because of it's
insolvency. II. S. Ross, Fore
man.
Apetition in involuntary bank
ruptcy was filed in this case on
February 10, 1914. It alleged
that the Maplecroft mills, a cot
ton manufacturing corporation
located at Liberty, in Pickens
county, was insolvent and with
it had ailewed "a receiver, be-
cause of it's insolvency, to be put
in charge of it's property by the
court of common pleas for Pick
ems county. G. Lang Anderson
of this city, who had been presi-
dent, was appointed receiver.

in cotton next year,> Acess
to be punishable by s>flne of
from S25 to s100 per acre levied
as a lien on the cotton crop and
collected by judgments just as
other judgments are collectible.
The Senate this p. m. over
rode the veto on the bill putting
charter fees for cotton ware
houses under the general law.
The free conference report on
the McLaurin state warehouse
bill was agreed to by both houses
this morning and ordered en-
rolled for ratification.
The senate killed the bill pro-
yiding for purchasing grain and
advancing it to farmers, and the
house killed the Summers bill
for a stay law. Both bodies
present a wearied appearance
this morning after the long
drawn out flibuster on the bond
bill, which went we'll into the
wee hours.
No report has as yet been re-
ceived from the governor on the
bond bill. Under the law he
can hold it three days if he so
desires.
Consideration of the Lawson
Joint resolution seeking to close
all dispensaries of the State un
til the restoration of peace in
Europe was denied by the
senate.
The governor vetoed twelve
small items in the emergency
appropriation bill and the house
over-rode each veto.
After a strenuous effort to de-
lay action, the bill calling for an
election on the issuance of S24,
900, 900 in bonds to provide for
loaning money on cotton was
ratified by the house early this
morning. The measure now
lacks only the signature Of the
governor to become a law.
What he will do with it is not
known.
The bill calls for an election
at the same time as the general
election. Nov. 3.
The bill was ratified by the
house and senate in joint session.

Not much hope of his recovery
is entertained.
Well, Farmer, we are very
much awake and believe that
Cotton Ed Smith, along with the
rest of the members, haye been
doing what they could to relieve
US poor, ignorant cotton growers
down here; but they seem to
have found no remedy and they
quit and came home. And now,

ourselves: make our hog and
hominy, and then it won't mat

And I am here to tell you with
Prof. Burns of Cedar Mountain,

some singing. Prof. Grain, ,prin-
