AN AFFECT APOLOGY

The Star is In trouble great deal
of trouble. The other day it printed
the following paragraph:
at is the prevailing opinion in the
state that the people of Welaka, who
allowed the negro guide of the Card
ner brothers to slip thru their hands,
are a prize set Of chumps."
And now comes back at US the Pa
latlxa Post, in a column of double
loaded BREWER, in which it says the
Star either lacks facts or is trying to
Islander Welaka, that Ocala is set
down in the middle of piny woods,
that the people of Welaka didn't know
Slower had been in town till next day,
that Ocala didn't send out any search
ing parties, that the Star is chump
anyhow, and should apologize to the
bighearted people of Welaka, who did
all in their power to apprehend the
criminal, find the missing men or
their bodies and help their distressed
relatives and friends.
The Star viii apologize; of course,
it will; it would do so at the Posts
bare request, let alone its command.
We confess we were misled by the re-
port Of people who we supposed knew
more about it than we did; also, we
have high regard for Welaka, which
we know is town Of mighty fine peo-
pie, having seen the whole population
at the wharf TO meet the boat several
times. We also confess that Oca1a is
set down in the middle of pinywoods,
but we have been misguided into be-
lieying that was an advantage rather
than otherwise. As for Ocala not
sending out any searching parties,
perhaps we were derelict, but the
scene of the trouble being over fifty
miles off, IN another county, we plead
as an excuse that we thought we had
better wait till we were called on. We
don't know what dreadful things were
charged up to Sheriff Galloway in
other papers, but the Star said that
as soon as he heard of the trouble he
telephoned to the sheriff of Putnam
county, and was informed by that Of
fetal that he did not think there was
anything in the report. We have since
learned that the Marion county official
at once and thru the large number of
acquaintance he has in that region
found that the missing men had not
been seen at any Of the Marion county
landings OF the Oklawaha
The appearance of rowboat with
or without a darkey in it would cause
much comment in Ocala, where there
is not much water except in the bath
tubs and at the soda fountains, but
we have become so large and blase
that not more than per cent of the
people go to the station to see the
limited come in. Come over and see
Us, Bro. Norwich, and next time we
make little break, set up right by q
postcard.

LOCAL LEGISLATION

An adjourned meeting of the city
council was held at the council chamb-
ers last night. Present, Chairman
Meffert, Aldermen Gerig, Knight,
Moore and Nash.
Communications were read from
Messrs. E. T. Helvenston and Lester
Warner regarding the sale or lease of
lands to the city for the purpose Of
securing lime rock for street work.
Both were referred to the street COM
mittee for investigation. Mr.. Helven-
ston's property is in the southeastern
part of the city, while Mr.. Warmers
in the southwestern section near the
golf links. A number of like propo-
sitions have been filed at former
meetings, and with the many tracts to
select from the committee is in posi-
ton to get deposit that will serve
for many years to come.
An application of r. X. Limbaugh
for position on the night police force
was filed for information.
The Ashley Sheet Metal Works
submitted proposition for putting iron
roof, guttering, etc., on the market
building now occupied by the Chero-
Cola Company. The matter was re-
ferred to the market committee with
instructions to secure bids for this
work, and the above named firm was
allowed to withdraw its bid if it so
desired on account of its having been
made public before the other bids
were in.
Marshal Frank w. Adams submit
ted proposition to the council for
placing safety signs or dummy po-
licemen" at the intersections of GER
tain streets in the business section of
the city. The matter was discussed
at some length and referred to the
police committee. 1t is proposed to
place "turn to the right" signs in the
center of the crossings to avoid We
hicles coliding when turning corners
on streets where the view is entirely
obstructed by buildings.
That portion of the auditors report
which remained unread at last meet
ing was ordered read. The section of
the report referring to the city col
lector and treasurer's accounts re-
ferred to as Schedule H., was dis
cussed by the counciImen, as was also
the communication of Mr.. Clyatt in
regard to the same section. The clerk
was instructed to send copy of Mr.
Clyatt's communication to the audit
ing company and ask for an explana-
ton of the section of their report re-
ferred to therein.
Two accounts for overcharges or
pound fees were ordered refunded
one to Mr.. Alex Mathews and one to
Robert BagIey, after they have beer
approved by Officers Adams and Hol.
loway.
Council then adjourned.

a few politicians who have never
heard the roar of battle, nor exper-
fenced the horrors of war, criticise
President Wilson and Secretary Bry-
an for what they are pleased to term
the policy Of .'watchful waiting" This
policy Of swatchful waiting has saw
ed thousands Of lives and millions of
dollars to our people and the admin
istration il entitled to the everlasting
gratitude Of the people Of these Unit
ed States therefor. Jasper News.
The policy Of s'watchful waiting
has allowed American women to be
outraged by Mexican bandits, Amer
lean citizens to be murdered, the Am
erican flag to be insulted, last and
least, millions of dollars worth of Am
erican property to be destroyed. A
man who won't be ashamed of a gov
eminent that allows such things had
better remove his citizenship to China.

No MORE SUNDAY TRIPS

There viii be no more Sunday trips
on the Daylight Line this season. The
boats have been running every day
since the season opened and both men
and machinery needed rest. The ex-
cursions were delightful to those who
went on them, but were not heavily
patronized, and if it hadn't been for
the tourist travel, the boats would
have lost money.
