HAS RENTED THE
FIVE NEW STORES

George Giles informed Star re-
porter few days since that he had
rented every one of the five little
stores in the new ST. George block,
on which he is putting the finishing
touches. The stores are 25x50 feet,
with handsome glass fronts, are
most substantially and neatly finish
ed with snow white walls. embossed
ceilings and smooth, everlasting con-
crete floors. This building is as
well built as any in town and will
be there when some others are gone.
One of the stores has been rented to
a tailoring firm, another to a mi1lin-
cry firm, third to a grocer and the
other two we did not learn, but all
have been rented and there was a
demand for as many more. At least
three of the tenants. VIII be new
additions to Ocala, bringing in new
money and new people.

long needed. The rooms would do
credit to any house in their finish,
plumbing and lighting. Giles will
only rent the house to responsible,
worthy people, will furnish it him
self and see that they conduct it in
a manner in keeping with the prop
erty.
Ocala is justly proud of its negro
citizenry and when men of their
race make the successes In life that
numbers of them have in Ocala, and
do as large part towards the up
building of the city as they have,
they are entitled to the respect and
assistance of the white race
Across the street in the. next
block in the handsome three-story
building of the Metropolitan Saw
ing Bank, a number of the infuen-
tfaI men of the coIored race have
opened a drug store that is as neat
and we'll fitted and stocked as their
race can show anywhere, with a
modern soda fountain and its fix
lures and accessories. They have a
licensed, registered pharmacist in
charge and although open only few
days, are doing nice business.

Florida; and really he seems better
informed on the subject than any of
the editors in the big dailies so far
as we have read them We could
all go TO school to Benjamin on
that issue. He writes like a man
who has travelled in those countries
and made close frst-hand study of
the subject.-Lakeland Telegram.
Thanks for the compliment. In
his young days, when he should have
been learning to play baseball. the
editor Of the Star put in his time
studying history and geography. and
as this is probably the only time in
his life that the knowledge so ac-
quired is likely TO be of any use, he
Is working it for all it is worth.

British Cruiser Sunk
in North Sea.
ONLY F0RTY-N|NE OF
The CREW ARE SAVED
Vessel Almost Torn TO Pieces
by the Explosion.

London, Oct. 17.-England has los,
another cruiser through the activity
OF the German submarine feet
The cruiser Hawke, utilized fol
scouting purposes OFF the German
naval base in the North sea, has been
torpedced and sunk with loss OF
about 800 officers and men.
The disaster took place at point
in the North sea, the location of which
1nent issued by the admiralty one OF
Hawke was steaming along when she
was struck almost amidships by a
torpedo sent by submarine and al
most torn to pieces.
According to an official announce
ment issued by the admiralty, one Of
the Hawkes. officers and forty-nine
men have been saved.
While a comparatively old vessel
the Hawke was especially suited for
the work assigned her-patrol duty.
She is the warship which just missed
sending the giant White Star liner
Olympic to the bottom OF the English
channel, when she rammed the liner
during a fog in 1911. At that time
the Olympic was leaving port en- route
for America with every cabin filled
with passengers and she was in grave
danger of sinking for some hours.
The Hawke carried crew of 544
men and officers and was armored
with a belt of six-inch armor.
The disaster to the Hawke follows
by about three weeks the sinking in
the North sea of the British cruis-
ers Aboukir. Hogue and Cressy.
These vessels succumbed to the at
tack of German submarine and
with themBome sixty British officers
and 1,400 men went to their death.
