was sent to the penitentiary. One
thing at least the lynchers have had
the decency to do. They have admit
ted that Frank died without making
any confession. When it is taken
into consideration that they could
have lied about it, as easily as not,
and that nearly everybody would
have believed them, they must be
given credit for their fairness. Unless
the negro Conley should confess
whether Frank was guilty or not will
not be known till the judgment day
His refusal to confess is not a GER
! tain sign of his innocence. But if he
was guilty, as he stood at the gates
of death, facing the terrors of the
| unknown, he proved himself a bravel
man than any of his self-aI .)ointec
| executioners.

Pusher and Tractor AeropIanes.

The Burgess-Dunne biplane is one
which secures automatic control 10y
virtue of the design OF the supporting
surfaces. The wing surfaces are join
ed in an obtuse angled V, which gives
a greater inherent stability than the
rectilinear design, says the Engineer
ing Magazine. This IS a "pusher"
type, which differs from the tractor
type in that the propellers are behind
the planes, while I'm the latter the pro-
pellers are In front. The advantage of
n wider field of view and arc OF fire
for rapid fire guns mounted in the
front of this flier is apparent The
Burgess company, however, manufac-
ture the tractor type as we'll The OBJ
lection to the "pusher' type is its low
speed and less sensitive response tC

! to safety, but one which the military
service cannot afford to make; hence
the tractor type is preferred by the
| military, while the 'pusher" type Is
more acceptable to the sportsmen.

editors recent visit to Ocala, in
quires: "Why weren't you attracted

Why, brother, every issue of the
Star shows that there are a tip-top
printing plant and a ditto editor in
side and they are evidently too busy
to waste time talking to idle people

Citizens in the second ward have
complained to the Star about a
rowing bunch of cows. 1t seems that
four cows are turned loose nightly
to Craze on the lawns of that neigh
borhood. One citizen had to get out

the cows out of his front yard. The

The Star has heard a report that,
to cut down expenses, the Coast Line
will reduce it's yard force here by
taking away the switch engine and

Coast Line can get along without a

Coast Line track runs in about thirty
feet of the Stars editorial table, and
the Star can testify it is a busy en-
CINE. Sometimes it seems to be the
busiest thing in town. The Star
hopes the report is a mistake.

A dispatch from Atlanta says the

of prominence. "a leader was chosen
a man who bears as reputable a

ed. It would not be surprised if the
said prominent citizen ran for gov
ernor next year, and was elected. But
if he was, and he went out of the
state during his term of office, he
would be ostracized at every off1cia
