CORRECTION REGARDING
BLOxHAM COUNTY


Editor Star: Please allow me to
correct an error. My article on Blox-
ham county should have read mot
including railroads. In having it type
written. the word mot" was left out.
The comptroller assesses railroads
and certifies the amount with number
of miles of main track, sidetracks and
branches IN Marion county to me, but
does not give location. The only main
track that Bloxham win get from
Marion il across township Is, range
IS. six miles assessed at $1,000 per
mile and sidet4acks and branch roads
in township Il, range 10, assessed at
So, 500 per mile.
All of which cannot alter my asser-
ton that Bloxham ~ili not get from
Marion half as much revenue as she
claims and if Levy is short in the
same proportion either assessment or
millaee must be doubled in order to
get money enough to run the new
county on short rations

A BIRTHDAY PARTY

Saturday evening, June 26th, quite
a number of young people gathered
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Saltz-
wedel in honor of Miss Edna Dem
suer's birthday. The evening was
spent in playing games and listening
to music on the phonograph. The
house was decorated with beautiful
flowers and ferns while on the YER
anda hung large Japanese lanterns.
There was full moon and it made
the evening pleasant all around and
everyone enjoyed themselves to the
fullest extent until IL o'clock, when
they bid the happy hostess goodbye
and wished her many returns of the
pleasant evening.
Last Sunday morning, June 10th,
about s o'clock found us vending our
way down beautiful Orange avenue,
in the bracing morning air past the
large and beautiful fields of corn and
velvet beans and long lines-af euealyp-
tus trees on both sides of the avenue
and as far back as you can see and
large farm houses dotted here and
there and beneath large oak trees,
with their festoons of Spanish moss,
which makes a sight well worth see
ing. About 10 o'clock we pulled up at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Saltzwedel,
about ten miles south of Ocala, and
after brief rest a sumptuous din
ner was spread by the hostess and to
say we did full justice to it would be
putting it mildly, but there was
plenty left to have supplied a dozen
more. The afternoon was spent in
social chat until about o'clock, seats
were placed on the lawn beneath a
large oak tree and some of the most
delicious ice cream was served. The
gathering was IN honor of the birth
days of Mr.. Otto Saltzwedel, Mrs. J.
S. Rifenburgh and Miss Edna Den
suer. One notable incident of the
gathering was that there were pres
ent around the festive board repre-
sentatives of each of the four great
nations now at war Germany, Eng
land, France and Austria, showing
that. peace and good viii abound in
this prosperous land of ours. After al
The good byes were said we an de
parted for our homes, wishing the

on the way iHN their car to Crystal
River. Mr.. and Mrs. Denham have
just returned from their trip to New

there which account for some of our

STORY or THE ARMENIAN'S
SINKING

Avonmouth, England, July L.
Eleven Americans were among the
nineteen members of the crew who
lost their lives in the sinking of the
-ffssyssssnd Line freight steamer Armen-
ian by a German submarine off Corn

crew were killed outright.
The Armenian was carrying 1422
mules from Newport News TO Avon
mouth, for the French army. She had
d crew Of twelve and 96 muleteers.
The man at the wheel first sighted the
submarine, which circled the freighter.
The German submarine commander
ordered the Armenian's captain to
surrender. The Armenian's skipper
tried to evade the submarine, but it
later dropped shell into the steam
er's engine room, stopping the en-
gines The Armenian then surren-
dered.

sHELLED AFTER THE BOAT HAD
SURRENDERED

The crew of the Armenian and
some seventy muleteers, mostly Am
erieans, scrambled into the lifeboats.
Another shell from the submarine cut
the ropes and one boat spilled its oc-
cupants, who presumably were
drowned. Five boats with survivors
escaped. The vessel then sunk. A
steam trawler landed the survivors
here.

ARMEN|AN'S SKIPPER MADE
ATTEMPT To ESCAPE
SEVERAL AMERICAN LIVES WERE LOST WITH THE LLFATED Ship
INCIDENT HOWEVER, IS NOT LIKELY TO CAUSE ANY FURTHER FRICTION BETWEEN GER
MANY AND AMERICA
Associated dPrss

Washington, July limited States
officials are trying today to obtain
details of the torpedoing of the Brit
ish freight steamer Armenian, sunk
off the coast of Cornwall Monday, with
the loss of twenty-nine lives, incIud-
ing nearly score of Americans,
many Of them negro muleteers. In
many quarters the incident is regard
ed to likely further complicate CORES
pondence between Germany and the
United States over submarine war
fare
What action the Washington au-
thorities viii take in this case depends
almost entirely whether the Armeni-
an was chartered by the British gov
erllment and whether it was in fact a
transport Of war aboard which the
Americans sailed at their own risk, or
an unarmed merchantmen. In the
latter case the vessel would have been
subject to a visit and search and
those aboard transferred to safety be-
fore the vessel was destroyed.

To Test Eggs Before a Candle.

For the benefit of farmers and all
persons who handle and use eggs the
Department of Agriculture has re-
Gently published colored egg-can
ding chart, which if used will enable
persons to test eggs accurately before
they are opened. This chart shows
the eggs in their natural size as tney
appear before a candle, and also as
they look when in an open shallow
glass dish or saucer The pictures
show absolutely fresh eggs, silghtS
stale eggs, decidedly stale eggs egss
with yolks sticking to the shell, eggs
where the chicken has developed SO
far that blood has been formed, moloS
eggs, added eggs and eggs with
green white. Generally housewives
do not know that green color IN tne
white of eggs is due to the presence
of billions of a certain spec'es OF pac-
terra that make a green colcring mat
ter. Eggs with this green'sh uht.
even though the yolks seem t. be per
feet. IRE not fit for food.

DISCOVERY OF GREAT VALUE
New York Physician Claims to Have
Found Anesthetic of the High
est Importance.

DR.. Clarence Webster of the staff
OF the New York Presbyterian hospi-
tai says ne believes his new discovery,
which is safer substitute for twi-
light sleep and an anesthetic. is of
great Importance in the medical
world' but he is not quite ready to
give his knowledge to the public.
When ! think the proper time
has come" says Doctor Webster, .T
VIII make known my discovery in one
OF the medical journals. I consider
that the best way"
is your anesthetic given hypoder-
mically?" he was asked.
Il can answer that. 1t is not. It
is inhaled"
DO you consider it far superior
to chloroform or her or any combi-
nation of the two ?"
"Oh, yes. We hope and think that
We nave made very important dis
covery. We have been working with
1t at the Presbyterian hospital for
about six months-but we are not
ready to announce anything just
yet"
lis any special apparatus required
for its use?"
Not at all. 1t can be given in the
course of general practice and the
patient need not even be taken to a
hospital"
No one at the Presbyterian hospi-
tai has been given Doctor Webster's
secret, at least they say they haven't.
