l heard noise something like low
rumbling thunder. and l presently
found it was the rumbling f horses
feet coming down the road, and this
cloud of dust made by the running
horses; it arose some rods int the
air over the tops of the hills and
trees" He says they had to crowd in
to the stream of people "all the horses
of a lather and foam; his wife,
woman-like. said: "Law! our clothes
will be spoiled! See how they look
they are so covered with dustw He
says: "They looked almost all of a
color, coats, hats, shirts and horses.
We went down into the stream (of
people,; | heard no man speak word
all the way, three miles, but everyone
pressing forward in great haste. and
when we got down to the old meeting
house there was great multitude;
1t was said to be three or four thou
sand people assembled together: we
GOT off from our horses and shook off
the dust l turned and looked to-
wards the great river and saw the
terry boats running swiftly forwards
and backwards, bringing over boats
OF people; the oars rowed nimble and
quick; everything men. horses and
boats all seemed to be struggling for
life; the land and the banks over the
river looked black with people and
horses; all along the twelve miles
(from his home) | see no man at work
in the fields, but all seemed to be
gone" Then he describs the preacher
and the sermon and the great effect it
/ produced. Middletown was then only
small village and the whole sur
rounding region farming country.
All accounts of Whitheld's progress
through our country gives similar &C
counts of the eagerness of the people
and the crowds who assembled. Ben
| famine Franklin had heard of the
numbers who came together to meet
Whitfield and was rather sceptical re-
garding it; but when the evangelist
came to Philadelphia he attended the
meetings, made careful estimate, and
says there were many thousands pres
ent, and tells also how he went about
in the crowds, standing at various
points to ascertain if the reports about
| Whitheld's voice were true; and he
declares it had great carrying power !;
and all witnesses testified that it was
impressive. His preaching produced
much good with lasting effects. But
George Whitfield was only 20 years
old at this time, and the adjulation
and praise. with the great crowds who
gathered to hear him, brought out
some of his traits which were not so
good; and as with most things human
there was, as the wise man said "a

Finney had faults and could be critic

and admired him; but even he had
faults; and undoubtedly Billy Sunday
has them. but what of the fruits !?

HENRY w. LONG

sts
Many hearts all over Florida will
be saddened to learn Of the death of
the above named ex-soldier and
statesman and good old citizen, who
passed away at his home near Martel
at o'clock this morning
General Long has lived among ue
so many years and his life has been
such an open book that there is little
left to tell of him.
Mr.. Long was born in Winnsboro,
S. c., February 1881. He came to
Florida and Marion county SO years
ago. Mr. Long was married twice.
In 1891 he was married to Miss Mittie
Gregory, at Quincy, Fla, who sur
wives him. He was a Royal Arch
Mason and a past grand master Of
the Masonic Grand Lodge of Florida.
His fellow citizens often honored
him with office and he held many pub
lie positions up to the time he retired
from the board Of county commissions
ers in 1906. He was particularly
concerned IN the good roads move
ment IN Marion county and in the
building of our new courthouse.
He was a gallant Confederate sol
der and won the rank of captain in
Finegan's Florida brigade. His broth
er veterans honored him few years
/ ago with the command for year o.
| the Florida division U. G. ".
General Long was lifelong Meth.
odist, and one Of the pillars of the St
Johns church at Cotton Plant, where
he has made his home for half cen.
fury.
The funeral viii be held tomorrav
afternoon at 2 o'clock from st. John:
church at Cotton Plant. The services
will be in charge of the Masong.

Copper IS contraband of war, and
copper is responsible for a good deal
Of the trouble caused By British and
French cruisers searching American
ships. Several thousand tons Of the
metal which have been held up were
shipped to Holland OF Norway, and
as neither of the countries have any
use for tenth Of the amount, it was
obviously intended for the Germans.
We can't blame the British for hold
ing it up we would do the same
thing ourselves if we would. The SEN
sible thing for Americans to do is to
avoid shipping such goods to Ger
many any Austria. When the time
comes that they can't obtain sup
plies, they viii have to quit fighting.

States and all the rest of the world

r
Fine New Boat of the Daylight Line
Successfully Launched Friday
The launching Of the handsome and
kcommodious passenger boat Silver
Springs of the Daylight Line at sill
yer Springs Friday was most sue
cessful event and one largely attend
ed.
The boat was inspected BY q great
many before the launching, and
while the preparations were being
made the entire crowd admired and
commented on the beauty Of the yes
sci, comparing it with other boats that
were seen in larger places. Tho the
wind blew cold, all waited patiently
for the launching, which was delayed
4 little on account Of some difficulty
in clearing the way at the edge of the
water. Messrs. Carl Mason, Jim
Duffy and Madden did the work Of
removing distractions and ran the
risk Of a ducking in the cold waters,
receiving words of advice and en-
enlargement from the crowd; and
also helped in pulling on the rope to
remove stake near the waters edge.
At 4 o'clock the boat glided grace
fully down the ways, dipped into the
water and rode the waves for a few
minutes, and then fioated easily and
gracefully, straight and trim, making
a pretty picture with her sister yes
sci, aThe City of Ocala, lying to the
right and the &c. A Carmichael" to
the left-three handsome boats that
Ocala and Silver Springs might well
ibe proud Of.
On the City of Silver Springs
were Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Carmichael,

chsel and little daughter, Virginia,
Miss Georgia MuIhall. Mr.. R. L.
Adams, Mr.. C. Z. Anderson, Mr.. F.

4 Little Miss Virginia Carmichael
broke the bottle of wine on the bow,
and won the applause Of the crowd,
the dainty miss being the center Of
attraction. Short but appropriate adj
dresses were made by Mr.. Harris and
Mr.. Rooney, responded to by Mr.
Anderson.
i The freight boat, the g. A. Carmi-
