erage wells or surface drainage from
the city. That it is possible to secure
pure, good water on the north side
Of Ocala Is easy for any ordinary
citizen to comprehend, but how it is
possible to secure good water in Tay-
lor's pond can only be figured out by
engineers, and even they advise
against it. If this water plant is To-
Gated on the north side of town, it
will give US basis for arguments in
favor of good water for Ocala that
any citizen can easily understand, and
l. will go further toward eliminating
all prejudice, caused by adverse crit
icism of the Ocala water in the past,
than anything we can do.
OF course there will be some minor
objections to any location that could
be suggested, but the one or two
that have been advanced against my
proposition in North Ocala are so in
significant / will not take up your
space to reply to them. All i ask is
thorough investigation of this loca-
ton by the city council and if it does
not appear to it to be to Ocala's in
terest to locate it there, then 1 say
by all means put it where the city
will get the greatest good from it.

much of your space, i am your for
better water, more water and cheaper

The Williston Courier states that
the creation of Bloxham county was
defeated by only seven votes.-Clear-
water Sun.
The Courier was about as accurate
in that as it has been in other state
ments. The vote was 423 for Biloxi
ham and 473 against it. Outside of
Williston precinct the vote was 213
for Bloxham and $50 against. AS
the vote was on a referendum of three
fifths, it would have taken 538 votes
out of the 896 cast to create the new
county. So far as the Star knows,
the Courier didn't tell the truth once
during the campaign, so it was per-
fectly appropriate for it to lie utterly
and entirely about the result. We
have not seen copy of the sheet
since the election, but had supposed
it was so dirty it had been excluded
from the mails.

During the county division cam
paign, Gus Morton made a bet with
Mr.. J. R. Moorhead, the Marion coun-
ty road engineer, that work on the
Blitchton road would stop the day
after election. The work is going on
vigorously, the road has been worked
to within half a mile of Blitchton,
and Jim says he wishes Gus would
come across with his bet. This work
will be completed to the Levy line,
and then, its the Stars advice, that
the county commissioners improve an
other road from either Berlin or
Blitchton to Central and the Alachua
line. National highways and Dixie
highways are very good, but our own
people first.

1t is an indisputed fact that there
is, in Northwest Marion, a larger
proportion than usual of colored vot-
ers. Nearly all the colored people
out that way are farmers, most of
them tenants, but not few owning
their own places. Nearly all of them
have always lived there, and they are
more industrious and prosperous than
the average. They take considerable
pride in their schools, pay their poll
taxes better and consequently have
more votes than is usual among col
ored people in a southern state.
Nevertheless, they have a majority of
the vote in only one Bitch
ton-and in the six precincts they
have only 240 to 266. Senator Bitch
says they have 85 per cent. Either
Senator Bitch was making an inten-
tional misstatement, hoping to get
away with it, or he is mighty poorly
posted on the statistics of the county
he was trying to create and aspired
to represent in the state senate.
Going over in Levy, we find the
largest negro vote in Raleigh, where
they have Al votes out of so. AS
there were only two cast against
division in that precinct, it is absolute
ly necessary that q negroes voted
for division. Laurence Shipton, ne
gro politician of Raleigh, was zeal
Gus and paid worker for Bloxham
In Williston, there is also large
proportion of colored voters. 1t may
be that every vote cast against divis-
ion in that precinct was cast by ne
gro, but it is doubtful.
Montbrook, Senator Blitch's home
precinct, which voted 43 against
division to II for it, has only II col
ored votes to So white.
Morriston, which voted 81 against
division to 16 for it, has IL negro
voters to 81 white. Lebanon, which
went heavily against division, has
not colored vote in it.
Marion county men did not do any.
thing irregular or disreputable to OBJ
tain negro votes. They went to the
colored people with the same argu
ment that they took to the white PEG
ple-tbat it was best for them to stay
in their own county-that they coulC
have better government, bettel
schools and better roads with lowel
taxes. The Bloxham advocates mad,
the negroes false promises and tries
to excite their prejudice. They toll
them about the grandfather claus
law, when every white man in tn,
county knows that the supreme cour
of the United States killed that Law
as dead as door nail three month
ago. They bribed some of them
they bought one negro preacher body

There are two or three ways Of bringing up girls
One way is to shirk responsibility and let the girl
come up as she may-leave her to chance like way
side flower that is often broken and crushed by the pass
ing herd
Another way is to guard her tenderly--to keep her
away from everything and everybody. She remains
child and when her protectors gone she is helpless
and useless.
The true way is to prepare her by home training
and good schooling to take of herself and great
deal more. Wedo not mean that she should be brought
up to for herself a solitary individual but as
member OF household wife, mother trainer OF daugh
tiers and sons
The mother has the baby in her arms. Before that
child any other teacher will get from its mother
temper, habit bent OF mind set of ideas that go
very long way toward making it good and happy or
perverse and miserable.
Every husband who has chosen worthy fe-com
panon knows how to value her advice. He sees to it
that she has easier time than he does and he knows
that out of her reflection and loving desire for the well
fare OF the family there will wisdom that he can
gladly consult.
Girls require education different from that OF boys
but their education is just as important An educated
man may make fortune and help the community. A
rightly educated woman insures the happiness and
prosperity OF the family

NEUTRALITY OF U. s.

London, Jan. 26.-Just what disposi-
: ton the government OF England win
adopt toward the cargo OF the Ameri-
can steamship Wilhelmina, which sail
ed from New York for Hamburg last
Friday with foodstuifs for Germany.
has not yet been decided. The Will
helmina, originally the British steam
er New Borough. is the first food laden
vessel to leave an American port for
Germany since the opening Of the war,
and the question Of foodstuifs as con
ditional contraband will come up for
the first time.
The United States end Great Britain
are agreed on the principles of condi-
tional contraband. Th.,v also admit
the contention that foodstuffs placed
on the conditional contraband list may
be shipped without danger OF seizure,
providing they are not designed for q
belligerent government or the use OF
the enemy's armed forces.
But II is this question Of destination
that is causing study I'm the case OF
the Wilhelmina, for this reason-is
there sufficient guarantee that the car
80 will not be used by the German
government for its armed forces, par
ticularly in view Of the various Ger
man proclamations that foodstuffs are
primarily the property of the govern
ment The case will be thoroughly in
vestigated yet in a spirit of the ut
most friendliness.
The letter of Secretary Bryan to

Official circles as eminently satisfac-
tory. AMI frankly II may be said that
the letter helred to clear the atmos-

BRYAN EXPLAINS The
NICARAGUA TREATY
Is Ready 10 Negotiate With
Other Countries.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The position
OF the state department has been ex.
planned by Secretary Bryan In re-
gard to the claims presented by Costa
Rica, Salvador and Honduras in con,
nection with the pending treaty with
Nicaragua. This treaty provides that
for SO 100000 Nicaragua Is to give the
United States an option on the Nicar-
ague interoceanic canal route, a naval
base site on the Bay o: Fonseca and
big and little coral islands.
Secretary Bryan explained that from
the first time the question of the inter
ests OF these countries was presented.
he took the position that he wou d be
ready to negotiate with them any time
similar treaties providing for the San
Juan river canal route and the right to
establish a naval base in the gulf Of
Fonseca on the Honduran and Saliva
dorean coasts All three countries
Nicaragua, Honduras and Salvador
have part OF their coast line on this
coast.
II is understood that Costa Rica is
prepared to accept Secretary Bryan's
offer and negotiate a treaty.
Mr. Bryan holds that II is the part OF
wisdom for the United States as owner
OF the Panama canal to secure itself
control and use OF the Nicarasuan
canal route. II is no secret that pro-
posals OF European combinations to
