"A revival OF ola memories, marking
back to the antebellum days when he,
as a boy, was sold many times on the
auction block as a chattel and finally,
at the age of seventeen, learning of
the war to free the Negroes, he es-
capped from his master and found ref
uge in a camp of Federal soldiers, was
occasioned a few days ago in the
mind Of Rev. J. Preston Watson of
Pueblo, Colo, by the receipt of a let

each frequently tried to find a trace
of the other, their efforts proved in
vain until two years ago Watson, then
a veteran pastor who had done nearly
40 years service for the African Meth
odist church, learned that Captain
Cannon was living near Leadville.
This being in the district which Wat
son toured as presiding elder, he re-
newed his search and finally found
Captain Cannon, a feeble, gray haired
man, at that time just recovering from
an operation. "Of course neither of
us knew the other remarked the Rev.
Mr.. Watson in telling of the meeting.
when l knew Cannon in war times
he was a square shouldered young
man with a long black mustache and
bushy black hair. Half a century later
l found him an old man, little resem-
bling his former self. But the old
friendship still was there. He seemed
mighty glad to see me, and for two
hours we talked over old times. Then
later he came to my house and we sat
up all night long talking old times"
Reminiscently in his letter received a
few days ago Mr.. Cannon said: Again
/ recall an incident-the colored boy
who wandered into camp, a fugitive
from slavery, meek, humble, seeking
protection. My boys in blue treated
him with kindness and sympathy and
l soon realized his faithful services;
honest, truthful and diligent, employ

In a communication to the Hous-

Brennan Normal and Industrial col
lege. writes:
Prof. E. L. Bl%ackshear, with his
logged ~tenacity has succeeded in or
ganizing some of the best Negro farm
ers in Texas into a farmers con-
gress," having them to come annually
and spend from six to eight days in
our state school, where they can get
strong help by the way of lectures
and coming in contact with the ac-
tual experimental work that cultivates
l. them a strong love for their farms
and at the same time broadening
their views upon the plans Of getting
better results from their many pro-
ductive farms. And many of our boys
are laying their diplomas in the bot
tom of their trunks and taking a part
with their fathers in the develop
ment OF their farms. They are no
longer looking at labor as a disgrace,
but are rolling up their sleeves, and
taking a part in the various commu-
mites in whatever vocation they find
best to be pursued and are thereby
making home worth while.
This kind of teaching was the end
in mind of the founders of our state
school.
Blackshear is a southern Negro,
and thoroughly understands southern
conditions and his constant lectures
and conversations with the students
of that institution have so thorough.
ly fitted them not with a p%rejudiced
mind to his brother in white, but with
a knowledge to go, hand in hand with
his neighbor in the various duties of
life without the least friction.
No one during Blackshear's princi.
palship has heard of a single Prairie
View student having the least trouble
with any of our white citizens and
We have hundreds of them going out
on various roads at the close of that
school.
Now, l was born and reared n
Texas, and would not live anywhere
else. Have tried to teach % years,
and do believe that if there is any
one man in Texas that knows any
thing about that state and the kind of
teaching necessary and best fitted for
our people, ! should know something
about it. l have for the last 10 or IL
years spend much of my time trav-
cling and talking to many of our
country teachers institutions, and l
find that a large number or a very
large per cen of these teachers are
from Prairie View. l have made it
my business to talk with each super
intendent as to the work, and as to
how these teachers get along with
their white neighbors.
Uncle Tom and Aunt Nancy, Uncle
Jim and Aunt Susan who the old
pioneers had the highest regard for,
are all passing from the stage Of the
living and the young Negro is COM
ing IN the scene. He has to have
that teaching that will enable him to
live in perfect harmony with his
white brother.

"Banneker, the Negro astronomer"
was born at E%llicott's Mills, Maryland.
a few miles from Baltimore, several
years before the Revolutionary war.
He learned to read while doing farm
work and managed to study and be-
come quite proficient in mathematics.
In his study of astronomy he was en-
couraged and assisted by Andrew Eli
colt, an astronomer and civil engineer
OF scientific attachments and founder
of Ellicotts mills and connected with
some large enterprises. Ellicott was
a friend of Washington and when he
was employed to survey the District
of Columbia and locate the city of
Washington he gave employment to
Banneker. After this Banneker made
astronomical calculations and pub
lished almanacs which were used in
Maryland and some other states.
Thomas Jefferson sent one of the al
manacs to the French Academy of
Sciences and the secretary of the navy
wrote Banneker a complimentary let
ter. He died in Baltimore in 1906 and
many scientific societies bore testi.

MANATEE MEN HIGHLY
PLEASED WITH MARION

Messrs. Green, Wallace and Shell
ton, prominent business men of Brad
entown, were visitors to our city yes
terday, having been in attendance at
the Alachua county fair. Mr.. Green
is an old Cobb county, Ga, boy and a
friend of Secretary Rooney, and stop
ped to see him. Mr.. Wallace is an
ex-Ocalan, but is now a successful or
ange grower and farmer of Manatee
county. He has been mayor of his
city number of times and has a
1400-acre farm with a 40-acre grove.
He and Mr.. Green are interested in
cattle raising, and learning of Mar
ions fine cattle were anxious to in
vestigate.
The party was travelling in Mr..
Green's car. They were first taken
out to Mr.. Sam Pyles' farm. Mr..
John L. Edwards then took them to
his farm and showed them the two
fine silos and the new corn barn
which will be air tight and where he
will treat his corn to kill the weevil
He showed them his manner of pen
ming and feeding and general way OF
handling his farm. The visitors were

These gentlemen when looking over

had not believed there were such fine
possibilities in our county.
Mr.. Edwards brought the party
back by Mrs. Closes farm and as
they reached the top of the mill, look

said it was the prettiest scene they

THE FLORIDA HOUSE

While it has been less advertised
than some of the other hotels of the
city, yet the Florida House is really
a first class hotel and is advertised
by its pleased guests" who return
again to its hospitable fold and tell
their friends to do the same. The
Florida House is now the nearest of
the hotels to the Seaboard passenger
station and will have the distinction
and the commercial advantage soon
of being the nearest of them all to the
new union passenger station, which
will mean a good deal to the house in
a commercial way.
A Star reporter was shown all thru
the Florida House yesterday by the
proprietor, Mr.. E. E. ("Gene") Dobbs,
and was greatly surprised for he had
not been inside the house since its
remodeling or since Mr.. Dobbs has
had charge Of it.
All who pass the house are struck
with the pretty veranda, 125 feet
long and very broad and comfortable.
The veranda has a wide balustrade
and large columns of solid concrete,
which gives a substantial as well as
an attractive appearance to the prop
erty. The great veranda connects
the two buildings of the hotel, extend
ing entirely across the fronts of both.
In the center between the two
buildings is a large court which is
planted to st. Augustine grass and
Towering shrubs and forms a most
pleasing spot and is a pleasant sur
prise to those who wander into it.
At the rear of this court is a huge
2500-gallon rain water tank elevated
sufficiently to give ample water
pressure to all of the rooms on the
first floor of the house. This is made
mosquito proof and the water is used
for all purposes where soft water is
desirable.
Just now painters, in charge of Mr.
D. A. Smith are painting the house or

has recently finished the dining room
which is one of the prettiest in the

w. v. NEWSON

While his passing has long been ex-
pected, deep sadness is felt in our
city and county at the death of DIR.
w. v. Newsom, who passed away at
his home in Ocala late yesterday eve
ming.
When sickness laid it's heavy hand
upon him several years ago, DR.. New
som was one of the leading physicians
of Marion county, and had high
reputation throughout the state. A
graduate of the best schools, and with
natural talent for his, profession,
his practice was large and exacting,
and his conscientious attempts to
meet all the demands upon him prob
ably brought on the disease that end
ed his life at a time when he still
should have had number of years of
usefulness before him.
He had a powerful and straightfor-
ward personality that led all who
knew him to put faith in him, and
many there are who can testify that
/ this faith and it's fulfillment has
brought them back from the very
doors of death.
| DR.. Newsom was born in Alabama
little over ffty-eight years ago
With his parents he came to Marion
county in 1884 and settled at Sum
merfeld, but soon removed to Ocala
where he made his home until deatf
claimed him. Beside being a leading
physician, he was connected with
various business enterprises, and en-
tered heartily into the social life, par
ticularly the benevolent undertakings
of the city.
He leaves his widow and five chill
dren, Mrs. Nathan Mayo of Summer
field, Mrs. R. D. Dodge of Clearwater
w. V. Newsom Jr., George Newson
and Miss Helen Newsom of Ocala.
The funeral will be held at the res
idence this afternoon. DR.. Gross O
