UNITED STATES VAST WEALTH
While Europe Is Moving Backward,
This Country Is Advancing Toward
Still Greater OpuIence.

English economists have declared
that Americas wealth grows five bill
lion dollars year. Since the Official
estimate of our national wealth three
wears AGO exceeds S187, 600, 900, 900,
the total today must now have passed
beyond the two hundred billion
point. These figures are colossal be-
vond compare. They mean $1,000
of wealth for every inhabitant. They
represent more than double the
wealth of the United Kingdom, our
closest competitor, and they very
nearly match the combined wealth of
England, France and Germany.
Our wealth is ten times that of
Italy, eight times that of Austria
and four times that of France. These
leading European countries are now
tearing at one another's vitals and
destroying property much faster than
they can create it. Hence all Eu-
rope is today actually moving back
ward while the United States is
sweeping swiftly forward to a state
of still greater opulence. Ours is
the land of plenty; of peace and Of
opportunity. These three factors are
aiding powerfully in persuading the
individual investors of Europe tC
hold fest their American securities
since here is the spot where theil
capital will be freest of perils anC
surest of winning large reward

Local Residents Respond To
Call and Put In Good
Work.

The local cemetery association
has about finished cleaning off the
Presbyterian cemetery. but all
the work contemplated has not
yet been completed. There is
still a little work in the way Of
grading and having off some of the
squares, and marking those that
have no markings. A great deal
of work has been done and the
cemetery is in better condition
than in quite a while, due to the
efforts of those having the matter
in charge and to the liberal con-
tributions of those interested.
Responding to the call made by
the association last week, many
local residents assisted in the
work Monday, putting in a good

CANTALOUP MOVEMENT
NOW ON AT BLEVINS

The cantalOup crop in the vicin-
ity of Blevins is being shipped
out at this time and it is thought
at least fifty cars will be shipped
from that point during the sea-
son. The first car was shipped
out the middle of last week and
the daily shipments reached five
cars by Friday. Many cars
are being shipped out this week.
The crop of cantaloupes is es-
pecially fine in that section this
year. The grade is all that could
be desired and the growers ex-
pect to realize good prices for
their product.
The people of Blevins are en-
terprising and thrifty; they know
what can be done in that country
and put forth a concerted effort
in what thew undertake.

SILVER SPRINGS BOULEVARD
SHOULD BE REPAIRED

1t is up to the street department
Of the city Of Ocala to repair the Sill
yer Springs boulevard and do it at
once, or that thoroughfare, which Is
the most travelled of any six miles of
road in this part of the state, viii be
almost impossible in spots.
Ocala would not rest till she took
strip of land into her corporate limits,
taking in this road and land for ter
minal purposes at the head of the
springs. This took the road out OF
the country's hands and of course the
county will not spend any money on
it. Portions Of the road are good but
other sections are very bad and rap
idly becoming worse.
Silver Springs is one Of Ocala's
greatest assets-one of its few
places of interest or recreation, and
the way there should be made as easy
and attractive as possible.
Yesterday afternoon hundreds of
automobiles visited the springs, many
horse drawn vehicles also went out
ana OOZeHS Oh peOplS "dlhSu LlAe us
tance. The dust is terrific and the
broken places in the road are many
and bad. In several places traffic
has had to turn out and cut a new
roadway for some distance.
If the city will put on half a dozen
carts and a dozen men, with the road
roller and sprinkling tank, this road
can be repaired in a week or less
time, and while it is being done the
new work should be wet and rolled
and finished right, and it will not re-
quire any extensive repairs for long
time.
After this is done, if the street de-
partment would give this road, or
street" as it really is, a little atten-
ton each week and patch the holes
before they become gulleys, the work
need never be burdensome and the
public will have what it is entitled to,
good, smooth thoroughfare to Sill
yer Springs.

In his last issue the editor of the
Williston Courier, in the sort of Ian
guage that his ignorance permits
him to use, tells what the editor of
the Star reminds him of. Stafford
does not remind us of anything. We
do not waste on people of his stamp
the time necessary to make compari-
sons; neither are we given to paying
attention to the objects that he
might be fairly compared with. We
suspect, however, that if any scien-
test took the trouble to analyze Stat
ford, he would compare him to a
tumble-bug. He makes up ball of
untruthful assertions about Marion
and Levy county people and pushes
il around. With the exception of his
bad smell, Stafford is harmless. 1t

or interfered with. II any man in
the party had believed ne would meet
charge of buckshot on the way, or
be sent to the Penitentiary afterward,
he wouldn't have gone.
Many people and some newspapers
speak of the men who lynched Frank
as avengers OF violated virtue, and
protectors Of female honor. How do
they know2 Are they sure that in
that crowd Of masked men there
were none who would seduce and
abandon women? Are they absolutely
certain that among them there were
none who would not commit the
same crime Frank was accused of. if
they had the opportunity? Some Of
the biggest scoundrels in Georgia
may have been in that crowd. They
were all masked. They dare not let
their names be known. For all the
clamorous approval that has greeted
their act, Rockefeller's millions
wouldn't tempt them into giving
their names to the press.
Whoever they were, they were a
bunch of midnight assassins, and Leo
Frank, alone, sick and helpless, fac
ing death and looking into eternity,
even if he was guilty. was a braver
man than the man who put the rope
around his neck.
Some of the methods used in the
defense of Frank were disreputable
and some were indefensible. The
Star said so at the time. But the
man had right to make a defense,
and had a right TO the assistance of
his relatives and friends. Let it not
be forgotten that those who knew
him best believed in him most and de-
elared he was incapable o. such a
crime. They may have been mistak-
en-. So, also, may have been the
jurors before whom he was tried.
Now, as to critieising Georgia, the
writer was born and raised in Geor-
gia, believes Georgia is as good as
any state and its people as good as
any other people. He did his first
newspaper work in Georgia and has
always kept up with Georgia affairs
and Georgia people, and he begs to
remind Georgian" of the self-evident
fact that Georgia people and Georgia
newspapers are just as much given
to criticising the people and affairs of
other states as the people of other
states are given to criticising them.
So they are inconsistent as well as
foolish when they ask to be let alone.
Also, to our positive knowledge,
there are many people in Georgia
who are ashamed of the Frank lynch
ing, and the number will increase
every day.
Unless some new evidence is dis
covered, this is all the controversy
over the Frank case that is going to
appear in the Star.
