PRESIDENT HAS A GOOD PLAN
To Enable Americans to Revise their
Merchant Shipping Trade

Washington, Aug. 25.-President
Wilson yesterday denied reports
which he said were started Sin in
terested quarters that he was going
to drop the plan TO have the govern
ment buy ships to carry on foreign
trade of the United States. He said
he had every intention of pushing
the plan to a successful completion.
Mr.. Wilson said he hoped private
capital would go in and buy ships
but that so far it had shown no in
dication of acting, unless the gov
eminent guaranteed the securities
He said that he would not favor such
plan.
The president declared it was not
his desire to compete with private
capital, but that at such a crisis i
was necessary for the government tC
step in. He expects the administra
tion plan to be in operation Within
two or three weeks, and thinks i
fcan be managed in such a way as Il
encourage private capital. AS an in
stance of this, he declared, the gov
eminent line might be used to de
velop lines of trade not at presen
profitable.
The president indicated that h
had no fear of complications witt
other governments, for the ship
would not carry goods under condi
tions which would make them con
itraband

CHARLES HI. STUART

Charles III. Stuart, carrier No. 1, of
the Ocala Post Office, died in Wash
ington at the home of his brother on
FRIDAY afternoon last. The body will
arrive in Tallahassee, the boyhooi
home of the deceased tomorrow af-
ternoon and will be buried there
Wednesday. A large delegation of
colored men from his lodge and
church will go from here to attend
the funeral Charlie Stuart was the
first carrier to be sworn in when
the Ocala postoffice was made a free
delivery Office and has held that po-
sitfon and discharged the duties most
faithfully, until granted sick fur
Tough several months ago, since
that time, instead of improving as
was hoped for, he has gone steadily
down. George Giles, a friend for
many years, took Stuart to Washing
ton, several weeks ago, as he was TOO
weak to travel alone. The change
did not benefit him and his decline
was rapid. Charlie Stuart was one
of the best educated men of. the
colored race in Florida. He was for
many years called on by men of his
race to draft their legal and oratori-
cal documents. He was a fluent writ
er and an eloquent speaker and has
been called on hundreds OF times
for many different occasions. He
was a most efficient accountant and
wrote one of the most beautiful
hands that we have ever seen. This
| hand writing seemed to be a gift in
the family for his brother, Solomon
d. Stuart, who died recently, pos
sessed the same trait, together with
most of the other virtues of his
brother.
| Charlie Stuart leaves one young
daughter in Texas, his wife having
died some years ago, and leaves con
siderable property to his heir, botf
personal, real and life insurance
He was the third largest stockhold
er in the Metropolitan Reality & In
vestment Co. and one of its organi
zers. He assisted Frank Gadson TO
cany years with his accounts. H
was for several years deputy grant
master of the colored Odd Fellows o
the state, and resigned the position
of his own accord.
Charlie Stuart will be greatl
missed by the people of his race, a
we'll as by hundreds of his whit
friends. Although well educated, h
was one of the most, retiring, unas
