outclassed. In other words, they
have more "git-up-and-git" than other
parts of Florida. We don't think
visitors will obtain as good an idea
of the state as if they came down
thru its center, with excursions to the
the west; but they will see some love-
Iy country, all the same, and any
thing that helps the east coast, or the
west coast, helps all Florida. The
Dixie highway route having been Sc
leeted, the proper thing to do is to
connect with it by as many good roads
as possible. People who come to the
state and go down the east coast in
cars, will of course prefer to return
home over another route. If they
find, on their return, good roads lead
ing to the interior and to the west
coast, they will be more than likely to
follow them.

REVIVED AN OLD INDUSTRY

George Giles has revived an old in
dustry that formerly proved quite ex-
tensive here and circulated a good
sum of money. He has put up a
building suitable for the work and
installed a moss gin and bailing ma
chine, operated by a gasoline engine,
and is again buying, curing, ginning
and bailing Spanish moss. The build
ing is located on his lot south of his
cotton gin and all green or cured moss
that is brought to him will be pur-
chased by him. This business gives
employment to a good many children
and old or semi-decrepit people and
they can make a tidy sum of cash by
gathering the moss. Since Giles quit
buying moss several years ago, the
trees in this section show a heavy
growth of Spanish moss and many of
them are so burdened with it, espe-
cially in town, as to threaten their
lives, and its removal will be a good
thing for the trees.

AN IMPOSITION ON oCALA

A telegram from Tallahassee this
morning informed the city council
that certain charter amendments to
the city charter had passed the
House and two readings in the Sen
ate.
These amendments are the ones
framed and submitted by Mr.. Camp.
The people of this city were not in
formed that they were up for con-
sideration, and mention of them was
kept out of the papers. Our repre-
sentatives, Crosby and Henderson,
did not even inform the people that
they had been submitted; altho, we
understand, they had promised to dc
so.
The council at once held a meet
ing, and dispatched to Senator Ter.
rell a telegram, informing him that
the said amendments were against
the wishes of this city, and asking
him to hold them up until they could
be heard.

The death of Alfred Gwynne Van
derbiIt recalls an almost forgotten
chapter in history. In December,
1862, the Ariel, large passenger
steamer, owned by Vanderbilt's
grandfather, Commodore Vanderbilt,
was overhauled by the Confederate
cruiser, Alabama, off the coast of
Cuba. The Ariel had on board 140
Federal officerc and men, a battalion
of marines on their way to the Pa
cific station. She also had on board
over 800 other passengers, many of
them women and children. Of course,
it was not possible for the Alabama
to take the passengers off the Ariel,
which was a large and valuable ship,
and the property of a bitter enemy
of the South. But it never occurred
to the Confederate commander,
Raphael Semmes, to sink the vessel.
He sent one of his officers to reas-
sure the women and children, who
| were expecting dreadful things from
| the pirate" Not an article belong
| ing to any passenger was touched.
The soldiers were paroled, the ship
placed under bond Ga bond that Com
modore Vanderbilt never made good)
and the Alabama steamed away to
seek for stronger foes. The South
was shut in with powerful foes, as
Germany is shut in, and the South
was crushed in defeat as Germany
probably will be. But, defeated OF
victorious, Germany can never have
the shining record for chivalry and
consideration for the weak, coupled
with unsurpassed courage, that is the
imperishable heritage of the South
ern Confederacy.

J. w. Whites Fraternal Record
tells a good story on bunch of South
Florida Odd Fellows, who were in at
tendance on the meeting of the Grand
Lodge in Gainesville. After the ses-
sions were over, they left Gaines
vile late in the afternoon, in their
car, on their way to their home far
down the state. Reaching Ocala, they
had supper and then drove around
the square and some of the principal
streets, to admire the city by cleo
trio light, and then started on (they
supposed SOUTH intending to stop for
the night at Leesburg. After cou-
pie of hours at a steady gait, they
reached a large and beautiful city,
which looked familiar, but did not
seem to have any business at that
place. On making inquiry, they found
they had returned on their own
track and were again in Gainesville.
Being Odd Fellows, it is not likely
they had anything stronger than cof-
fee in Ocala.

AN IMPORTANT MATTER
For the Attention of Members Of
John vi. Martin Camp Sons of
Confederate Veterans

Your annual dues of one dollar as
member of the John M. Martin
Camp Sons of Confederate Veterans
are now due. Our interest in having
these dues paid Immediately is two
fold, viz: Our number of delegates
to Richmond and their voting power
is limited in proportion to the num-
ber of paid up members in our camp.
There are over one hundred members
on our roll, and if all dues are paid
up promptly, it will give us an ex-
cellent showing at the reunion the
last of this month. Then most i'm
portant of all, Ocala will entertain
the state reunion of Confederate Vet
Grams this fall, and as a part of your
dues are retained by our local camp,
we are very anxious to increase our
treasury as much as possible, so that
we may do our utmost to give the
veterans who will be our guests the
very best state reunion they have
had.
The time is very short, and if you
have not already paid your dues, the
officers of the camp will greatly ap-
preciate your prompt payment there
of to Mr.. Henry d. Stokes, our camp
treasurer. Yours respectfully,
D. Mel Ferguson, Comdt.

BOUGHT SOME GEORGIA HAMS

The Carn-Thomas Company has
received shipment of hams from
a Moultrie, Ga, packing house, the
first, as far as we know, to be ship
ped to Ocala. This Georgia packing
house is doing well and is one of the
most successful enterprises that
Georgia has launched in some time.
We understand Armour & Co. are
preparing to put in one something
like it in Jacksonville. Ocala is the
proper place for this packing plant,
and it should be put in like the Geor-
gia plant-with local capital and by
local people.

There was great deal of talk, at
the beginning of the war. of the
staying powers of Great Britain. No
matter how long the fight or great
the expense, said the English press,
Britain was in the fight to the end.
1t is more than likely that the Brit
ish only dimly understand what these
words meant, but they are now be-
ginning to understand them. With
the war ten months old, and beeom-
ing greater every day, with Britain
making little progress in Flanders
and the Dardanelles and greatly an
noyed by submarines in her own wa
ters, she realizes her very existence
is at stake, and that if she does not
strive more strenuously than she has,
the end may not only be afar off, but
disastrous to her people at home and
empire abroad.

The reason why the allies have de-
clared cotton to be contraband of
war and won't allow it to be shipped
into Germany is simple and reasona-
BILE. Cotton is the basis of all mod
ern ammunition, for small arms as
well as cannon. Germany and Austria
use from 800 to 1000 tons of it every
day. They can't raise it, and its only
substitute, wood pulp, is very infer
ior. Keeping the Germans from OBJ
tanning cotton is more likely to end
the war than keeping them from OBJ
tanning food. At the same time, as the
Allies are using immense amounts of
cotton themselves, they are likely to
soon need all our surplus.

militia in only two wars-the Revo-
lutionary war and the war of 1872,
and in both they made mighty poor
showing against regular troops. Also,
the militiamen of 1776 and 1872 were
much better able to cope with reg

The Tampa Times Jacks the state
railroad commission up for allowing
increase without notice of 20 to 100
per cent in freight rates between
Tampa and Jacksonville. The Times
says that when the commission does
some little thing for the people it
never fails to flood the papers with
information about it, but when it al
lows the railroads to do something
for their benefit it never gives notice.
Seems to the Star that the Times
remarks have some basis in fact.

BRITISH WAR OFFICE
 ISSUES STATEMENT

London, April 26.-G1:15 D. m.) )-The British war office has issued the fol- lowing statement respecting the battle around Ypres:
 q. Severe fighting northeast of Ypres still continues. the general situation remaining unchanged. Our left flank, in readjusting its line to meet the al- tered conditions due to the original forced resirement of the French, had to face to the north and to extend to the west beyond St. Julien.
 This extension weakened our line for time and, after gallant resistance by the Canadians against superior num- bers, St. Julien was was captured by the enemy. Our lines now run south of that place.
 70. Our troops to the east of Ypres have borne thesbrunt of repeated heavy attacks which they have stubbornly opposed throughout the battle, in an entirely unexpected situation, which has demanded the exercise of gallantry and fortitude by the men. and quick re- source and other military qualities by their commanders.
 "3. Attacks also were delivered yes tere by the Germans on the east of the pres salient. In spite of the use by the enemy of asphyxiating gases, the attacks were repulsed and German of hcers and men were captured.
 Tn the fighting during the last three days we have inflicted heavy casualties on the Germans Our losses also have been heavy. The German wireless re- port that four English heavy guns were captured is untrue.
 One of our aviators dropped bombs on the Courtrai station today and de- stroyed the junction Although wound- ed he brought his machine safely back to our lines.''

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Lyric

This weeks offering at the Lyric is very acceptable. Each of the five acts ,have plenty of "go'' and each drew a hand from the audience that filled the house at the performance last night. As on a former occas sion MT and Mrs Jimmy Barry carried the honors of the bill and are easily the headliners. Again pre- senting .The Rube" with additional trim mings, Jimmy brought many laugh by his delination of a character that Is so often overdone on the stage. His Is an original conception and very cleverly por- trayed. Mrs. Barry, as an actress, was very clever in her role.
 Eddie Emerson and Jerry Baldwin pre- sent a juggling novelty that astounds one with the skill and dexterity displayed There is plenty of comedy in the act which intermingled with the feats of skill make the act very novel and pleas ing It is of interest to know that Emer- son is local boy and started his stage career in Birmingham IA years ago. Hs Is a son of J. s. McQuade of Boyles
 The musical numbers by Miss Genevieve Warner, harp vituoso. and Miss Charlotte Francis proved very enjoyable. The med ley of Irish airs on an Irish harp and violin was especially pleasing.
 A number of songs and stories cleverly put together in a rapid fire sketch, After Two A. M," by Smith and Kaufman, entertained and amused the audience. It is an act that is different.
 The bounding Pattersons on horizontal bars and trampoline is a very good opener. In Pathe's weekly news service and the :Heeza Liar animated cartoon are two of the best motion picture fea- lures obtainable. They open and close the bill. C. H. M.
