LOOKING OVER
THE LOCATIONS
Members of the City Council Have
Not Decided on the Site for
the New Waterworks

The members Of the city council
met yesterday afternoon at O'Clock
and taking the plans with them went
to the city water works site, between
South Fourth and South Fifth streets,
where the city owns three-fourths OF
a block and looked the place over
thoroughly. Then then went to the
14-acre lot formerly called sTaylor,s
pond" and other lots or sites, includ-
ing the one that Mr.. p. III. Seymour
proposed to donate to the city. No
decision was reached, as the meeting
was an informa olne, but the men,
bers seemed to stand just where they
did At the session Of the council Tues
day night.
The Star Is Of the opinion that the
council would do well to leave the
water works plant where IL Is and 90
ahead with the building Of the CON-
bination electric light and water
works plant there. AS for the noise
that has been talked Of, the machin-
cry of the new plant win be absolute
ly noiseless, and as for any unsightly
feature, the new plant win be very
slightly and an ornament to that part
of town.

PLANS TO CARRY ON
THE WAR
ASSOCIATED Press)

London, Sept. 9-Commenting on
the removal of the Grand Duke Mich
olas from the head of the Russian
armies, the military expert of the
Times says that unless some mistake
is made, the plans of the grand duke
for retreat can be successfully car
ried out. He believes with the COM
ing rains, the Russians can fight when
they want to and retreat at their
pleasure.
Berlin newspapers take various
views of the change. Some see in it
a political move only and praise the
grand dukes leadership. Others say
the responsibility for defeat rests
alone with him and for that reason
the change was made.

MARION'S IMMENSE
CROP OF MAIZE
Amount of Corn Raised this Year
will Promote Prosperity 20 an
Amazing Extent

Marion county's great corn crop has
set many people to thinking and has
made many farmer feel good over
the prospects of a crib full of corn
and a loft filled with fodder. This
year he not only has the prospect of
feeding the corn to his work stock,
fattening his hogs and cows and
poultry with it, but he is In grinding
it in the numerous country grist
mills, into grits and meal, and also
into ground and mixed feeds for his
stock. Then there is a ready sale for
cash for his surplus in Ocala.
One of the first men TO take ad-
vantage of the corn crop to help him
self as well as his neighbors and to
keep some of the money at home that
has been going west for corn, was
Mr.. John Dozier of the John Dozier
Co., the feed and provision firm
which is close neighbor of the Star.
Mr.. Dozier bought and had installed
in the back of his room wholesale
place of business on Fort King ave-
nue., and all ready for operation as
soon as the first of the corn crop was
cured and ready to grind, huge cleo
trio motor, silent and powerful, to
which he had belted a corn mill that
will grind meal, grits or just crack
the corn, or any of the stages be-
tween. This will will also grind al
falfa, oats or anything else Of that
nature that is fed into it, including
corn cobs, and viii do one as well as
another.
Along side of il is a corn shelter,
operated by the same power and the
shelter will shell and the grinder
grind as much corn with the help Of
one man in q days time as several
two-horse teams can haul.
AS result, Mr.. Dozier is buying
Marion county raised corn for all Of
his demands, paying cash for it, and
will continue to do so, to the exclusion
of western corn, as long as he can
get corn without weevils in it.
Right here the Louis r. Chazal
Sons Co. swin come in, and when the
uncured corn begins to fill with weevil
it viii have a. huge supply that has
ben cured and treated and therefore
kept free from the little corn pests,
so that in all probability Mr.. Dozier
will use Marion county corn till an
other crop comes in
Mr.. Dozier sells half a dozen or
more mixed feeds. He will now be
able to put up all of those mixed
feeds and, in fact, is doing so right
in his own warehouse. He can give
a man any formula that he desires,
corn and oats and alfalfa, or add cot
ton seed meal, one or all of these and
in any proportion that may be desir-
ed, and put his own label on the bags.
The county has not grown enough
oats for its own use this season, hence
there will be little or none to sell,
but by another season Mr.. Dozier ex-
poets to be able to buy his oats ct
home also.
In this connection we can mention
that Mr. Shuey has grist mill at his
home in the fourth ward and is grind
ing corn for all who apply on the old
fashioned toll plan.
Giles 4 Company are doing the
same and are grinding a lot Of it
each week.

swung around as if to attack the sub
