George III. and the wiemaksrs.

When George I'LL assembled the
throne OF England his wealthy sub
jects were beginning to leave or wigs
and to appear in their own hair, III
they had any. As the sovereign was
himself one OF the offenders. the pc
ruke makers. who feared a serious loss
OF trade. prepared a petition IN which
they prayed his majesty to be gra-
ciously pleased to shave his head" for
the good OF distressed workmen and
wear a wig. as his father had done be
fore him.
When the petitioners walked to the
royal palace. however, II was noticed
that they wore no wigs themselves.
As this seemed unfair TO the onlOok-
ers they seized several OF the leading
processionists and cut their hair with
any implement that came most readily
to hand.
From this incident arose a host OF
curious caricatures. The wooden leg
makers were said to have especial
claims on the kings consideration. In
asmuch as the conclusion OF peace had
deprived them OF a profitable source of
employment; hence the suggestion that
his majesty should not only wear a
wooden leg himself. but enJoin the peo-
pie TO follow his laudable example.

WE ARE NOT WHIPPED YET

A special to the Star from Mr.. Car
roll, at Tallahassee, late yesterday
afternoon brought the news that the
Bloxham county bill had passed the
Senate by a vote of 20 to 6.
Our senator and representatives
have done their best. They failed,
not because of any lack of vigilance
on their part, but because the matter
had been cut and dried and combi-
nation formed months before the
legislature met.
Before the matter is decided an
election must be held in the disputed
territory, where, in spite of the agita-
ton, Marion yet has many friends
We have no intention of surrender
ing this valuable part of our county
without fight, as the little Willis
ton combination will find before the
fun is over.

ocALA,s ELECTRIC ISSUE

The article by Mr. Burford else
where is one worth the close perusal
of every citizen of Ocala. No man
knows the law better than Mr.. Bur
ford, and when he makes statements
in print he always has the evidence
to back them.
It is useless to tell the people of
this city that the amendments Mr..
Camp asked for were not "gum-
shoed" thru the legislature. The peo-
pie, of course, knew the general tenor
of his work. They did not know the
sum and substance of it, and he was
careful not to tell them. He knew
very well that if he did so he would
meet a storm of opposition that
would head him off. If he had been
willing to take his fellow citizens
into his confidence, he would have
published his bills in full before he
took them to Tallahassee. He care
fully kept them secret, and the
people would not have known any
thing about them until they were
passed if Senator Terrell had not
thought it his duty to inform them.
There is not so much danger to
Ocala in this measure from the Flor
ida Power Company alone. AS the
Star has always said, it believes
that if the Florida Power Company
ever does work for Ocala, it will
make fair contract and live up to it.
But this measure it is working to
have made into law opens the door to
a flood of evils, some of which Mr..
Burford points out. We do not see
how Mr.. Camp can reconcile his ideas
Of good citizenship with his attempt
to expose his home city to so much
trouble in order to further his own
ends.
One of these troubles is even now
at hand. It is not very well known
to the people of Ocala, but it is true,
and the Star has the proof, that a
high official of an electric current
trust was here few weeks ago max
ing particular inquiry into Ocala af-
fairs. He visited the electric plant
and obtained all the information pos
sible as to the conduct and profits of
the business. This trust already con-

this state, and, strange to say, none

of the plants it controls are giving as
low rates as the Ocala plant.
This trust, in case the Camp
amendments become law, has the same
right to come into Ocala as the Flor
ida Power Company. It's hired men
would be able to come here, frame up
a law, go around and secure sig
natures to a petition and have an
election whenever it saw fit. These
trusts have always shown that they
will do anything to get the business.
Bribery is their favorite weapon, and
they will if necessary commit any
crime on the calendar.
This is a specimen of the "enter-
prises" that the people of Ocala are
being abused by interested parties
because they are not willing to admit
1t is foolish and untrue to say that
the people of Ocala are not ready to
welcome manufacturing enterprises
to their city. They have been doing
all possible to induce them to come
here.

not supply current at cost. 1t charge:
all it can for it. The profit goes int
the pockets of the owners. It's only
the municipal plant that tries to give
the people low rate, and if i
wasn't for the municipal plants, tn,
rates would be much higher.
There is plenty of evidence of thi!
in North Georgia, where hydro-elec
trio plants are numerous. But tn,
people all over North Georgia arr
paying higher rates than they ar,
paying in Ocala.
In the big city of Atlanta, which
is supplied by hydro-electric plant
the rates were very high. And they re
manned high until the people of the
city started campaign to build theil
own plant. Then the rates came dowr
with run, and the hydro-electri,
company promised to keep them down
if the people would let the matter res
there.
