STATE CANDIDATES
ARE CIRCULATING

There is great deal too much crit
icism of candidates for Office who at
tend such public occasions as the
county fairs and the press associa-
tons. To read some of our papers,
anyone would think that candidate
was committing disgraceful act to
attend any public occasion and mingle
with the people. On the contrary, we
should all be glad of a system of gov
eminent that brings candidates and
people so close together.
Take the Marion County Fair, for
instance. Last week, we had Messrs.
Bryan, Trammell, Gilchrist and Wall,
candidates for the Senate, Commits
sioner of Agriculture McRae, Treas
urer Luning and Superintendent
Sheats, all candidates for reelection,
Messrs. Thagard and Angle, candi-
dates for controller, and several minor
candidates whom we haven't time to
mention. Of course, they were all
looking after their fences while here,
but why shouldn't they? Isn't it part
of the game?
So far as the Star is concerned, it
was glad to see them all, those it in
tends to vote for and those it intends
to vote against. They are all clever
men. it was pleasant to meet them
and they helped to make the fair a
success. They gave just as much as
they received.
Let's quit sneering at the candidates
that travel around and mix with the
people. That is what the people
want them to do. The governments
where the officials can afford to keep
apart from the people are not govern
+ments of the people, for the people, by
the people.

PRIZES FOR PUMPKINS

Mr.. Chas. R. Tydings, who takes
an ethical as well as material interest
in agriculture, offered three prizes
for the three best pumpkins raised
from seed purchased at his store and
exhibited at the Marion Fair. These
appreciated prizes were awarded as
follows:
Mr.. S. J. McCulIy, Berlin, SO.
Mr.. j. P. Phillips, Ocala, SIS.
Mr.. J. M. Fenne1l, Kendrick, $3.50.
This is substantial encouragement,
and Mr.. Tydings is to be praised for
his public spirit.

An Ocala citizen, who travels
around much and meets many people,
says, on returning from trip to
West Florida, that Cats is strong out
that way, and he believes that the
only candidate who can beat him for
governor is Will Knott. If West Flor
ida wishes Cats on us, the remainder
of the state will be justified in seced-
ing. The gentlemen also thinks that
Trammell will win for senator. 1t is
an undoubted fact that Mr.. Tram
nell is more of vote getter than
Bryan. Mr.. Bryan is reserved, and
while he is courteous to all men, he
does not overflow with cordiality to-
ward man he never met before as he
does a well-known friend. AS we
have said before, Nat Bryan is not
good at advertising himself. And he
has done several unpopular things
just because he believed it was his
duty to do them. The Star prefers
that sort of man. Sometimes the
mass of the voters does not.

PEOPLE SHOULD UNITE
ON THE PROPOSITION

So far as the Star can see, the
proposition to build the railroad to
Silver Springs meets with almost
unanimous approval. Up to date we
have failed to meet any citizen who
did not favor it.
The only diversity of opinion seems
to be as to the size and shape of the
enterprise. Some favor building the
road as quickly and cheaply as pos
sible-others want it to be large
and elaborate structure, combined
with other municipal utilities.
Whatever we do, lets go to work
and do it. 1t win be better to have a
well equipped trolley line in connec-
tion with the combined city and cleo
trio plant, but it is better to put in a
hghs railway with gasoline motor
thar to wait four or five years for a
more elaborate structure. What we
have we should have right away. A
well-equipped trolley line in operation,
say by 1918, will not save for the
merchants and people generally the
freight money which the gasoline
motor can save them in 1916. Wait
eng and discussing will not take peo-
pie to the springs for ten or twenty
cents the round trip next summer. 1t
should be remembered that if a light
railway is laid in six months, heav-
ser one can take its place with no in
,terruption to traffic whenever the peo-
pie are ready to build it.
The people of Ocala are too much
given to discussion. They are now
Wrangling about the location of the
water and electric plant while their
out of date engines at the water
plant are in danger of breaking down,
and the machinery of the electric
plant is worked to it's full capacity
with no margin for added business.
They fiddle while Rome burns.
Lets quit so much everlasting
chewing the rag and do something.

With the exception of the st. Pc
tersburg Times, not a paper in the
state which has commented on the
state census, the report of which has
just been published, has expressed
any faith in the accuracy of the
enumeration or satisfaction with the
result as it pertains to its particular
town.-Miami Herald
The Star has no kick on the census
1t believes the census takers did their
work faithfully, and any inaccuracy
in the returns was due less to them
than to the people.

Before we finish talking about the
fair, let us not forget to give credit
to me faithful and efficient worker
Mrs. Anna Tweedy, the assistant sec
rotary Mrs. Tweedy certainly did
the work of an and half during
the rush. For over a month before
the fair, she was in her Office from
morning until almost midnight. She
showed good sense and management
in all the matters entrusted to her
care, and deserves the full apprecia-
ton of the fair directors and the pub
tic.

MARION FARMS SOLD AGAIN

The Star is informed that the Mar
ion Farms property has changed
hands again, Mr.. Ernest McLin sell
ing the property to Mr.. G. Fault
man, prominent citizen of Tampa
The Star does not know what the
price was, but is told that Mr.. McLin
did not lose any money on his invest
ment.
1t is to be hoped that this deal viii
not prevent Mr.. McLin from making
his home here, as he and his family
are very desirable as residents of this
city.

FUNERAL OF MR.. CARMICHAEL

The last rites over the remains of
the late George A. Carmichael took
place this morning, the funeral ser
vices being held at 10 o'clock at the
residence. The impressive and solemn
services were conducted by Rev. Bun
yam Stephens of the Baptist church of
this city and Rev. N. B. Plummer of
the Baptist church at Anthony.
A choir, composed of Mrs. D. E.
McIver, Mrs. C. E. Winston and Mr..
J. J. Gerig sang most sweetly, "Abide
with Ne" and "Jesus, Lover of Ny
Soul"
Few if any funerals in Ocala were
ever as largely attended as was Mr..
CarmichaePs, and we do not ever re-
member to have seen more beautiful
flowers or more of them.
The people filled the house, the
veranda and the entire street in front
of the house, and among those who
came to pay their respects to their
dead friend and neighbor were repre-
sentatives from all walks of life,
among them many out of town people
and colored people, leaders of their
race in the city, as well as many who
had been employees or benefciaries
of the deceased.
The flowers were very beautiful,
and came from all over the city and
the green houses of Jacksonville,
among them being some magnificent
designs The flowers were taken to
the cemetery in a huge automobile
truck.
Hundreds of people who had gath
cred at the residence followed the re-
mains to the cemetery and remained
there until the benediction was pro-
nounced and the remains lowered
into the massive concrete vault where
the body will lie in its long sleep. be-
side Mr.. Carmichaers daughter, Mrs.
Badger, who died few years ago.
When the vault was covered and
sealed and the flowers placed upon it
they entirely covered it.
The ladies of the Eastern Star at
tended the funeral in body, stand
ing in double row from the gate to
the steps of the residence.
The pail bearers were Messrs.
Jake Brown, J. Fl. Spencer, Alfred
Aver, Elmer DeCamp, II. A. Fausett
and ]. P. Galloway.
AS tribute to Mr.. Carmichael,
who for more than quarter of a
century was member of the city
council and whose son, Mr.. Ed. Car
michael, was one of the first chiefs of
the famous volunteer fire department,
Chief Chambers had the hose wagon
and most of the firemen follow in the
parade and attend the funeral.

HEADQUARTERS FOR
HORSES AND HORSEMEN

1t looks like Ocala has a strong
chance to be winter quarters for
many fine racehorses and their own
ers.
Although the fair is over, a score
or more racehorses and their owners
remain at the fair grounds, where
they have comfortable quarters and
the race track for exercise. They will
probably remain until the midwintel
fairs at DeLand, Orlando and Tampa
take place.

COLUMBIA STATE PUTS
1T IN A CAPSULE

The Columbia State sums up the
question of national preparedness or
unpreparedness as follows:
ITO one of two things American
citizens must school themselves: they
must consent to reasonable
strengthening of the army and navy
and to pay for it cheerfully out of
their own pockets, or they must con-
sent that their country and their flag
be insulted and trampled upon by
other nations as they will"

FiGRT WITH DEVIL. WORTH

Winona Lake, Ind, April l3.-"Bil-
ly' Sunday is tempted sorely to sign
articles for a knockout fight with the

paign of 1916.

"You bet I'll do it," when the posi-

What is your income?" asked the
interviewer, thus encouraged.

Mr.. Sunday fi.a'ly became warm
on the money question.
